Symbolic Meaning of Matryoshka
Everyone knows that a Matryoshka is a nesting doll. It is a set of typically seven wooden dolls of
decreasing sizes that all fit inside of each other, one by one. Each stacking doll splits in half at the
midsection and opens to reveal another smaller doll nested within. Each Matryoshka is
handmade, for this reason, it is unique: you cannot find two Matryoshka identical.
Matryoshka is made by different dolls. The biggest doll is called “mother”, the smallest one is
called seed. Originally, the biggest doll represents a strong female matriarch who is the main
symbol of the Russian family. In itself, the doll fits inside little dolls which represent daughters
and sons. For this reason, Matryoshka represents fertility and motherhood.
The Matryoshka is also the symbol of Russia: the big doll represents Russia mother, and in itself
she hosts children, women, men, but also feelings like pain, happiness, joy. It is a mother who can
host all these things. Matryoshka can represent also our life: we are like a big doll with other dolls
inside which represent our stories, relationships, experiences. We are one person with different
experiences. The seed represents our soul which is innocent and it is the real essence of ourselves.

HANOI, A CAPITAL OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTS
Hanoi has long been home to hundreds of craft villages. Over the years, many of the crafts have
developed, while some have disappeared altogether.
The heart and soul of Hanoi’s vibrant old crafts are its craftsmen and women. One such couple
are Nguyen Van Hoa and his wife Dang Huong Lan of Ba Dinh District’s Hang Than Street.
They are among the few artisans still making elaborate cardboard masks in order to preserve the
traditional culture.
Although the work itself requires many steps, the materials required are simple: newspapers, glue,
paint and paintbrushes. The first step entails tearing the newspapers to pieces and then using glue
to combine them into a mold. The masks are painted one color at a time and then laid out to dry.
Cardboard mask making is therefore dependent on dry weather and the couple can only make
about 2,000 masks per festival. These are priced from VND25.000 to VND35,000 a piece,
bringing in VND50-60 million - a sum is not commensurate with the efforts that go into making
these elaborate crafts.
Making swans out of cotton is also a traditional craft. Only artisan Vu Thi Thanh Tam of 79 Hang
Luoc Street in the capital makes these swans. The swan frames are made of notebook paper and
6
are stuffed with cotton, then a skillful artisan puts each layer of cotton on the swan frames and
uses rice water to smooth them. The swan neck is made of steel wire and is covered by cotton.
The finished product is placed in a rattan basket with cotton around and glass-beads and silk
flowers are added for color.
The continuity of traditional crafts adds to the capital’s attractiveness in the eyes of citizens and
international visitors.

Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities. Almost half of its population are
immigrants. You’ll hear more than 140 languages and dialects spoken on the streets in this “City
of Neighborhoods”. It’s the most populous city in Canada (more than 5 million in the Greater
Toronto Area) and the province of Ontario’s economic engine. Toronto’s motto is “Diversity Our
Strength”. Toronto prides itself on its wide range of cultures, languages, food and arts.
Visit Toronto, and one of the first things you‟ll notice is that the city’s appeal lies in its citizens’
friendliness: ask for directions, and you’ll be helped. Along with its highly artistic culture and
fascinating museums that proudly display the country’s history, it’s clear that a Toronto trip has
something for everyone.
Although Toronto’s climate is partially moderated by its Great Lakes location, it is more extreme
than Bordeaux’s and Christchurch’s, with somewhat hotter summers and considerably colder
winters. Summertime in Toronto is festival time. Just about every weekend, and some weekdays,
you’ll find one happening. If crowds aren’t your thing, avoid Caribana festival (July 28 through
July 31), when the city greets more than one million visitors.

IX. Read the text carefully. Then do the tasks.
Stress isn’t just a problem for adults. Young people, however, are also suffering from stress with
different causes. Below are some factors that contribute to those youngsters’ unhealthy levels of
stress.
School Pressure
Teenagers often feel stressed about academic and extracurricular demands. Students feel pressure
to complete daily homework, finish projects and study for exams. In addition to the quest for
good grades, teens may also participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports, student
council, cheerleading and clubs. The added pastimes may contribute to teenage stress and anxiety
if the activities arc competitive and require scheduling that cuts into study and relaxation time.
18
Peer Pressure
Although teens may have a solid group of friends, their peers may pressure them to hang out
instead of studying or experiment with drugs, alcohol or sexual activities that go against their
morals or family rules. Peer pressure, bullying on campus and harassment may distract teens from
studying, leading them to feel additional stress and anxiety.
Family Problems
Teenagers can also feel stress at home because of family pressures and problems. Arguments with
siblings, disagreements with parents over rules and expectations and the need to consistently care
for younger siblings may also contribute to teen stress.
Sense of Loss
Teens may also feel stress and anxiety when experiencing a sense of loss. “Loss” can mean the
end of a relationship, friendship or cherished extracurricular activity. Breaking up with a
boyfriend or best friend, for example, may lead them to doubt their self-worth or feel anxious
about attending school or social functions because of their change in social status.
A. Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
1. Stress is a problem of both adults and young people.
2. Youngsters can’t be stressed if they do well in their classes.

Being online for many hours at a time does not mean you have a problem. The Internet is very
useful. Online, you can pay your bills, buy clothes, and read the news. There are many good
reasons to spend time online. However, people with an Internet addiction are online too much.

or night. Some people with Internet addictions even leave their jobs so they can spend even more
time online! People with Internet addictions don’t just go online to shop, have fun, or do work.

Nguyen Van Hoa and his wife Dang Huong Lan of Ba Dinh District’s Han Than Street,
Ha Noi are among the few artisans still making elaborate cardboarb masks in order to preserve
the traditional culture. Although the work itself requires many steps, the materials required are
simple: newspapers. Glue, paint and paintbrushes. The first step entails tearing the newspapers
to pieces and then using glue to combine them into a mold. The masks are painted one color at
a time and then laid out to dry. Cardboard mask making is therefore dependent on dry weather
and the couple can only make about 2,000, masks per festival. Making swans out of cotton is
also a traditional craft. Only artisan Vu Thi Thanh Tam of 79 Hang Luoc Street in the capital
makes these swans. The swans frames are made of notebook paper and are stuffed with cotton,
then a skillful artisan puts each layer of cotton on the swan frames and uses rice water to
smooth them. The swan neck is made of steel wire and is covered by cotton. The finished
product is placed in a rattan basket with cotton around and glass-beads and silk flowers are
added for color.

friend Paul Allen. However, he later said, “I don’t think dropping out is a good idea.” In 2007, he
received an honorary degree from Harvard. He began his speech by saying this to his father in the
audience. “I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you I’d come back
and get my degree.” Bill Gates is no longer working full time for Microsoft. He is now, with his

Teenagers today live in a very competive world. It is more important than ever to succeed
at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many
younger people worry about letting down their parrents, their peers and themselves. To try to
please everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance
homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people
suffer from stress.
There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form
of coffee or sorf drinks, keep you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become
addictive. In the end, like other drugs caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to
deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain
chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to
stay healthy and full of energy.

D. READING (2,5ms)
Bill Gates was born in 1995 in Washington State. He grew up in a rich family. His parents
sent him to a private school. There he met his business partner, Paul Allen. When they were in
eighth grade, they were writing programs for business computers and making more.
In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They thought he
would get over his obsession with computers and become a lawyer like his father. Two years
later, Gates dropped out of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen. They
worked eighteen hours a day in a dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the program that
would run one of the first personal computers. In 1975, they created a company called Microsoft
to sell their product.
Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later and
started his own company. Meanwhile, Microsoft became a giant company. By 1990, at the age of
thirty-four, Gates was the youngest billionaire in the history of the USA.

53
teenager. After high school, he was accepted to several top colleges in the USA: Harvard, Yeal,
and Princeton. He chose to go to Harvard to study law. At Harvard, he focused more on his
interest in computers than on coursework. He often relaxed by playing video games in Harvard’s
computer lab. He left Harvard before graduating because he wanted to open a software company
with his friend Paul Alen. However, he late said, :I don’t think dropping out is a good idea.” In
2007, he received an honorary degree from Harvard. He began his speech by saying this to his
father in the audience. “I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you

Changes in Food Habits
Before Stone Age, people used to eat fruits, leaves and anything they found from the forest.
However, this habit changed into hunting animals, preserving food items and planting and
growing vegetables, which eventually led into farming different crops like maize, corn, and rice.
People were healthy, they rarely had diseases and never needed extra exercise because their daily
work kept their bodies running.
At present, we have turned the agriculture into a mass scale production, including machinery,
technology and pesticides, all of which came in with the green revolution. With green revolution
agriculture and the traditional farming culture turned upside down. As far nor now, farmers who
are able to cope up with the multinational cooperation’s and their large-scale, expensive products,
pesticides and high-yielding varieties of seeds, keep producing crops for the market. Yet the
traditional, low-income farmers even today, especially in Asian countries, are in a dire state.

convenient, it leads to many health conditions. Today people are unhealthy, needs medicine and

LIFE IN THE PAST VS LIFE IN THE PRESENT
Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live. Obviously, it
is difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of the people living in the twenty-first
century because so many changes have occurred. Even the changes that have occurred over the
last ten years are amazing.
To start with, in the past people had to work harder as they did not have tools and machines to
make their work easier. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers
and other powerful machines. In the past living conditions were not as comfortable as they are
now. Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum
cleaner because those used to be luxurious goods. Another difference between living now and in
the past is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to everyone. In the past men were
mainly the only ones educated and women were not allowed into public or private schools.
Besides, nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information you
need – thanks to the Internet. We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the
world because we are connected 24/7. Nevertheless, people had better relationships with the
neighbors in years gone by.
All things considered, it is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly during the
course of history. In some ways, it is definitely easier to live in the present. On the other hand,
however, life now is much faster and stressful than it used to be in the past. The standard of living
has definitely improved but it can be discussed whether the quality of our lives is also better.
1. Life nowadays is the same as life of our ancestors.
2. Technology has made our lives easier.
3. In the past, household appliances were very expensive.
4. Public schools allowed females and males to be educated in the same schools.
5. We can use the internet to communicate with people around the world.

Located in Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, about 69km from Da Nang City and 20km
from Tra Kieu ancient capital, My Son Sanctuary is the complex of numerous Champa tower-
temples in a valley roughly two kilometers wide, surrounded by two mountain ranges. This used
to be a site of religious ceremony for kings of the ruling dynasties of Champa, as well as a burial
place for Cham royalty and national heroes.
My Son Sanctuary is regarded as one of the main religious centers of Hinduism in Southeast Asia
and is the foremost heritage site of this nature in Vietnam. Notably, among 225 Cham vestiges
that are founded in Vietnam, My Son possesses 71 monuments and 32 epitaphs, the content of
which is still being studied. My Son Sanctuary is often compared with other historical temple
68
complexes in Southeast Asia, such as Borobudur of Java in Indonesia, Angkor Wat in Cambodia,
Bagan of Myanmar or Ayutthaya in Thailand.
My Son Sanctuary was honored as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites at the 23rd session
of the World Heritage Committee in 1999. Based on architectural remains, My Son perhaps
began construction in 4th century. It is perhaps the longest inhabited archaeological site in
Indochina. Although time and wars have turned numerous tower-temples into ruins, sculptural

XII. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answers.
In the early 17th century, most of the southern region of Vietnam was nearly uninhabited and in
the position of Ho Chi Minh City, there was a small village formed with a few residents.
However, thanks to its advantage in location, the town grew both economically and politically.
By the 19th century, this had become a cultural hub of the South as well as an important trading
center of the country.

Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon today has 22 districts in total and attracts hundreds of thousands of

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world.
Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a
century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the
way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past
mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in this
sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in
manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam, which was traditionally
agrarian, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important
component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing
amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Vietnam have retained
many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as
they were in the past. This is best exemplified in the way they welcome foreigners to their unique
country. Moreover, the resilience and determination of the people of Vietnam has not changed.
The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the development of their country.

The Temple of Literature was constructed in 1070 under Ly Thanh Tong’s dynasty to honor
Confucius at first and celebrate the doctorates and high rank scholars of Vietnam. In 1076, King
Ly Nhan Tong continued the work and built Quoc Tu Giam as the first university of Vietnam.
The temple is divided into five court yards, each with its own significance and history. The first
courtyard stretches from the main gate to Dai Trung gate. The second stands out with Khue Van
Cac pavilion. The third courtyard is where doctors’names were engraved on stelae above tortoise
backs. There are a total of 82 stelae, with names and origins of 1307 doctors, corresponding to 82
examination courses from 1442 to 1779. The fourth courtyard is dedicated for Confucius and his
72 honored students, as well as Chu Van An - a famous teacher known for his devotion to
teaching. This is also where local authorities choose to honor outstanding students in Hanoi
nowadays, like those with top entrance results to university or top graduation outcomes. The last
and also furthest courtyard is Thai Hoc house, which used to be Quoc Tu Giam - the first
university of Vietnam.

LIFE IN THE PAST AND LIFE IN THE PRESENT
83
Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live. Obviously, it
is difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of people living in the twenty-first
century because so many changes have occurred. Even the changes that have occurred over the
last ten years are amazing. In the past living conditions were not as comfortable as they are now.
Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum cleaner
because those used to be luxurious goods. Another difference between living now and in the past
is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to everyone. In the past men were mainly the
only ones educated and women were not allowed into public or private schools. Besides,
nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information you need –
thanks to the Internet. We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the world
because we are connected 24/7. Nevertheless, people had better relationships with the neighbors
in years gone by …..

IV. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.
More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on
weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of
their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do
so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope
with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs
include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later
careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who
enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.
96

XIII. Read the article and do the tasks.HOW TO STAY HEALTHY
People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables are less likely to have heart problems. A variety of
fruit and vegetables should make up about a third of the food you eat each day. You should eat at
least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. A portion is e.g. a banana, an apple, a pear, one
slice of melon or pineapple or two plums. Remember that potatoes don’t count because they’re a
starchy food.
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. And people with high blood pressure are three
times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than people with normal blood
pressure. Lots of people think they don’t eat much salt, especially if they don’t add it to their
108
food. But don’t be so sure! Three-quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy,
such as breakfast cereals, soups, sauces and ready meals. So you could easily be eating too much
salt without realizing it.
Having too much saturated fat can cause heart disease. Try to cut down on food that is high in
saturated fat, such as meat, pies, cheese, butter, lard, cream and cakes, and have foods that are
rich in unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and olive
oil), oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds.
Having sugary foods and drinks too often can cause tooth decay, especially if you have them
between meals. Many foods that contain added sugar can also be high in calories, so cutting down
could help you control your weight. Try to eat fewer foods with added sugar, such as sweets,
cakes and biscuits, and drink fewer sugary soft and fizzy drinks.
About 60% of your body weight is made of water. If you don’t get enough water, you can
become dehydrated. Severe cases of dehydration can cause dizziness, confusion, and even
seizures. Drink about 6 to 8 glasses of water every day and even more when the weather is warm.
Don’t drink too much coffee or tea as they can dehydrate you.
B. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
1. Eating lots of fruit and vegetables can reduce your risk for heart disease.
2. One melon would count as one of your daily portions.
3. A potato is classed as one portion of your five a day.
4. High salt intake increases blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease.
5. The foods we buy can contain more salt than we realise.
6. Eating too many foods high in saturated fats can be bad for your health.
7. Vegetable oils like olive, sunflower or canola are rich in saturated fat.
8. Fizzy drinks can increase the risk of dental problems.
C. Answer the questions.
1. What counts as a portion of fruit and vegetables?

X. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.
We need to eat to meet our nutritional needs, but people often make their food choices for reasons
other than nutrition. The availability of foods and their cost, the taste and appearance of foods,
personal food likes and dislikes, convenience, religious and cultural practices and traditions,
health and medical conditions, etc. are reasons why people eat the foods that they eat.
The foods in people’s diets around the world are very different from each other, but all good diets
must be composed of a variety of different foods that provide all of the food energy and other
nutrients in the amounts needed. For most people, a good meal will be based on a starchy food,
sometimes referred to as a “staple” food, as it forms the basis or main portion of the meal, and a
variety of other foods (side dishes) that provide the additional protein, vitamins and minerals
needed for a good, healthy diet.
Staple foods are usually starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, bread, couscous, maize (corn),
potatoes, and foods made from wheat, rice, rye, barley or oats. The other foods eaten with the
meal should include generous amounts of vegetables and fruits; good amounts of legumes;
smaller amounts of meat, poultry, eggs or fish and milk and milk products, such as cheese and
yoghurt. The greater the variety of side dishes served with the staple food, the greater the chance
that all the needed nutrients are included in the meal.

TOURISM TODAY
People travel all over the world and attend a lot of interesting places. The effect of travelling of
large amount of people sometimes is incredible. Here are some examples of it.
Large number of people coming to one place once at a time can have less comfortable
accommodation as it was in Scotland where only 40% of tourists were offered hotels.
Tourism is one of the principal contributions of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea and as the
number of people increase, the problem worsen. Several laws and initiatives have been
implemented in order to protect the Mediterranean Sea from further degradation. The rapid
tourism development of Bali has had a great effect on its natural environment, affecting water
resources, increasing pollution and localized flooding, as well as putting pressure on the island’s
infrastructure.
In Cancun, Mexico, tourism has extensively damaged the lagoon, obliterated sand dunes, led to
the extinction of varying species of animals and fish, and destroyed the rainforest which
surrounds the island. It was only twenty years after it was developed, that the government of
Mexico decided to limit projects along the coast to prevent further damage to the island’s
environment.
In Trinidad and Tobago there are shortages of water due to the overpopulation of tourists on the
island. The most damaging effect of tourism has been the destruction of coral reefs, as they are
harvested for sale to tourists and destroyed by tourists stepping on them as they enter the water.
Decide whether the following statements are true (T) of false (F).
1. The effect of tourism is only positive.
2. Mass tourism can cause housing shortages.
3. Tourism is largely responsible for pollution of the Mediterranean Sea.
116
4. Tourism promotes conservation of wildlife and natural resources such as rainforests.
5. Bali’s rapid tourism development has had a negative impact on its natural environment.
6. Tourism made little damage in Cancun because the government of Mexico put a limit on
projects along the coast.
7. Overpopulation of tourists leads to the lack of fresh water resources in Trinidad and Tobago.
8. The destruction of coral reefs is mostly caused by tourists collecting coral for souvenirs.

Learning a new language is always an excellent idea. It provides you incredible benefits that

Learning a second language is one of the best ways to keep your brain active and challenged.
Studies have shown that the brain undergoes changes in electrical activity and even structure and

yourself through written and spoken words. Learning multiple languages can help you
communicate more clearly in any language as you learn more about how language itself works
and how to use it to promote ideas and reach out to others in a variety of social and work
situations.
The world may not have a global language, but English is the default option for countless forms
of communication across the globe. That’s why one of the benefits of learning English is that it
significantly boosts your hiring potential. In addition, it can offer you educational opportunities.

Accordingly, many main dishes and snacks in Vietnam are made from rice: boiled rice in daily
meal, rice porridge, steamed rice, glutinous rice cake, well-known Banh Chung (square cake) and
uncountable made-from rice dishes from every region in Vietnam.

of everything, like a sun lying in the center of the whole solar planet.
Considering rice important, Vietnamese has been always developing their farming method and

pickled egg-plants, your adventure to Vietnam is considered perfect.

LEARNING ENGLISH
It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accent. Unlike children, who are
flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or
smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an
international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation. One method is to sign up for a
pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English,
but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the
classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country
greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to learn new
vocabulary as well as improve their accents. International students can also learn important
cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that occur when people from
different cultures live together.

Travel and tourism are very important to millions of people over the world. In every country you
can find people that work in travel and tourism. Some countries need the money from tourism to
help their people survive. It is necessary for these places that travel and tourism continue to
expand and bring money to their regions.
However, travel and tourism have negative aspects. Planes, buses, boats and other means of
transportation that carry travellers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, some people do things
on a holiday they would never think of doing at home. For example, many travellers use a lot of
water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They forget to turn off the lights or even leave
televisions and air conditioning units when they leave the room. On the top of that, it is often
difficult or impossible for travellers to recycle items, so they end up leaving large amounts of
waste behind. That’s why it is important for people to travel wisely and respect the places they
visit.

Breadwinning trend responsible mutual earning
previously caregiver associated burden speedy
In the past, fathers were not (1) ________ for taking care of their children, spend time with their
children, preparing food for them, and helping them in their homework. This happened because
the sole responsibility of (2) ________ was on the shoulder of men. Now, as women are sharing
the financial (3) ________ , some fathers take care of their children while their mother is at the
workplace. The depression, egoistic behavior, and pride (4) ________ with being the sole
financial supporter are eventually balanced by the contribution of the female member. Therefore,
the responsibility of child care is also showing a changing (5) ________ .
The number of fathers deciding to stay home is rising at a (6) ________ pace. This may happen
due to several reasons such as females have strong earning power, and with the (7) ________
decision, they come to the conclusion that one of them should be at home with children. There are

XIII. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.
With millions of jobs set to be replaced by changes in technology, we may not be able to stop the
rise of robots and automation. The robots are coming. We can see the enormous strides that
technology makes each year and the jobs taken over by automation. Yes, believe it or not, there
really are robots performing surgeries on humans. Robot-assisted surgery can give surgeons more
precise control over their instruments and an improved view of what they are doing.
Computer systems are becoming incredibly good at performing multi-faceted tasks. Take
autonomous cars which can be classified as robotic vehicles. Driving would fit all the criteria for
a complicated task that only humans should be able to perform, yet we have autonomous cars
increasingly racking up the miles collision free. In the game-playing arena, we are seeing
machines beat the previously unbeatable professional players and generally encroaching on skills
that once belonged to humans alone. All these technologies eventually can be integrated into
robots. Are we close to the tipping point where humans become redundant in many sectors?
According to a recent survey, four million jobs in the British private sector could be replaced by
robots in the next decade. That would impact on 15 percent of the current workforce and would
have much the same impact in Ireland. Of course, new opportunities will come along, particularly
ones which require strong cognitive and social skills, but this really means that people will have
to become more human.
1. We cannot put a stop on technology innovation.
2. Robotic systems can help surgeons increase precision.
3. Computer systems are only capable of carrying out multiple simple tasks.
4. Driving task is so complex that it can’t be performed by an autonomous vehicle.
5. Self-driving cars can travel miles without accident.
6. People in many sectors have lost their jobs because of automation.
7. In the next ten years, robots could take over four million jobs in the British private sector.
8. In the future, people will just do the jobs that require strong cognitive and social skills.
1. Why is robot-assisted surgery used?

The education system of the 21st century has changed radically with the integration of the
technology in every sector. At the same time, the students are more matured than the previous
time. Now, in the twenty-first century education depends on Thinking Skills, Interpersonal Skills,
Information Media, Technological Skills as well as Life Skills. Especially, the education of the
present time emphasizes on life and career skills. Now there has no value for rote learning. In

student can use the lesson outside of the classroom.

ROBOT TEACHERS
If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you probably put doctors and teachers at the
top of the list. However, in some cases robots already perform better than doctors at diagnosing
illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a
machine than with a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He predicts by 2027 robots will do the main
job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read
students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information
to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the
ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked.
Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’
Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings
and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than
11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking
homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job
humans do best.
1. Robots are always better at diagnosing illness than doctors.
2. Education experts agree robots will fully replace teachers by 2027.
3. Anthony Seldon thinks teachers in the future will help robots in class.
4. Robot teachers will be able to read the brains and facial expressions of students and change the
information so that it fits each student.

6. Robot assistants could help teachers by marking homework.

a. the development of artificial intelligence

Developing countries have witnessed enormous changes in their societies, and the most
fascinating one, no doubt, is the ever increasing involvement of women in education and
employment. More and more women in these countries are entering university, getting higher
education degrees, and going out to work. They are no longer content with staying at home, in the

work.

Fathers used to act as the breadwinner of their family, and as the teacher of moral and
religious values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing. More and more women are
going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the family. Apart from that, there
are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in supporting their
children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make paternal
financial support less essential for many families. With the burden of financial support reduced,
and with a changing concept of a father’s role, modern fathers tend to be more involved in
children’s caregiving. They are now spending more time and energy on their children. Fatherly
love helps children develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and
emotional development.
