II. READING

TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.

There are many reasons for reducing the forest areas, and this causes many complicated problems for any nation without any exception. Due to the population explosion, many governments need more land for residents to live and develop the economy. They also clear forests to build dams for generating electricity or to develop resorts and recreational complexes. Besides, a huge number of trees are logged illegally to trade wood. All of these lead to serious issues as forests always have an important role in the ecosystem balance. It is undoubted that when a forest area is destroyed, the following results affect the other neighbor regions. The first negative effect of the loss of forest lands is flooding. Forests help to prevent erosion and flooding and without them, the downstream areas tend to be inundated frequently in rainy and hurricane seasons. Another problem is global warming. Forests are often considered as the lungs of the earth because they absorb the carbon dioxide and release the oxygen. This helps to refresh the atmosphere and lower the rate of the carbon dioxide in the air. If not, the average temperature will be higher and higher since the emission of the gas into the atmosphere increases every day. Consequently, the price we would pay for the flooding or for the increase of greenhouse gases is not only the damaged and polluted environment but also our deteriorated health and lives. To save ourselves, it is advisable to join hands in protecting and growing more and more forests.

T.A:Yes, of course! Would you like domestic tours or international ones?

An:Domestic tours please!

T.A:Great choice! This summer our travel agency is launching a bunch of promotions to customers, particularly for the new ones. If you buy a package of ecotours, you will get a discount voucher of 25% for the next tour. The program will close soon so don’t miss the opportunity.

An:It sounds interesting, but sorry, I don’t know much about what an ecotour is and where these trips are to?

At the present, we have the tour to Ba Be Lake and one of the most beautiful volcanoes in ASEAN Countries – “Chư B’Luck” volcanic mountain. We also have tours to Hoi An ancient town, but unfortunately, it just ended its promotion last week. Both trips take 3 nights and 2 days for each.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Evening news podcast today. We start with the news of the wildlife environment. There is a threat to the red-shanked doucs.  According to experts, the primate is native to Indochinese countries, but these days we can only observe them in Son Tra peninsula located in the Center of Viet Nam. This kind of rare wild animal is listed among the most endangered animals over the world. Recently, it faces the loss of its natural habitat because of local people's behaviors like cutting down trees to build houses and farms. Dangerously, a few doucs were found dead in the edge of the forest last week, which puts their survival at the very alarming situation. There are some conservation efforts from the volunteer groups dedicated to preventing the animals from harmfulness and raising people’s awareness of protecting the vulnerable wild animals. Nevertheless, the local authority also needs to immediately carry out more actions to secure the long-term survival of the wild mammals in the peninsula as well.
