IS WINNING EVERYTHING? Ask kids and the answer is probably "No". Ask the adults and the answer is
probably "Yes". And it is adults who control sports for young people - with terrible results for many kids.
Twenty millions of children between the ages of eight and sixteen play organized sports outside of school.
Their experiences are sometimes very bad. Why? Because of the adults, often their parents, who watch the
games. Children's sports are organized like professional sports Children play baseball and football. They wear
all the equipment that professional athletes wear. They have uniforms and umpires and referees and leagues.
They have games. And many people come to watch their games, especially the families of the players.
Because the children's games are like adults, professional games, their parents want adult professional
competition. When a child drops a ball, his father becomes angry. When a child doesn't run fast, his mother

might shout , "Run faster! Run faster!" And the child? With an angry father and a shouting mother, this is not
a happy time. Unhappy and nervous, the child wants to stop playing. The game is not fun now. But he or she
can't stop, because the competition is not finished.
36. How are the children's sports organized?
A. They are easier. B. They are for children only.
C. They are the same as adults'. D. They are not competitive.
37. Why do some children become unhappy playing sports?
A. Because they often lose. B. Because they play worse than adults.
C. Not all of them can play. D. The adults watch them play.

A. Win the game B. Not to drop the ball. C. Run faster. D. Play a lot more.

In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama
Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass
through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a
ship approximately eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand
dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to go around Cape Horn. More than fifteen thousand
ships pass through its locks each year. The French initiated the project but sold their rights to the United
States. The latter will control it until the end of the twentieth century when Panama takes over its duty.

TOPIC: Write a letter to pen-pal to talk about your family.

Dear Michael,
I am writing to talk about my family as requested in your last letter.
There are four members in my family; my parents, my elder brother and I. My dad is now at his forty-
five and my mom is two years younger. My elder brother is twenty-two of age. My dad is a teacher at a local
high school, and he has to work nearly weekdays. Very often he has extra classes on weekends, sometimes he
PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, HUYỆN LẬP THẠCH, TỈNH VĨNH PHÚC TRANG 4/5
has evening classes. My mom is a farmer and she has to work hard in the fields nearly daily from early
morning till dark. My elder brother is now a final year university student, so he has very little time to be at
home with other family members. Although my parents are very busy, they try hard to spare as much time to
take care of their children as possible.

My mom is a really caring woman who is always the first to get up to prepare for other family
members things to start a new day, and the last to go to bed to make sure that everything is under control. My
dad is always willing to join hands to make us a nice house and a happy home. My brother and I love helping
my parents in all sort of work whenever we have chance.
In my family, members care as much for others as possible to make a close-knit family. We are
admired so much by the neighboring residents. Whenever problems come up, we discuss the matters all
together frankly to find out solutions quickly. We also share all happiness and worries, so we all feel happy,
safe and secure at home just as the saying we love “Home is where love dwells and thrives”.
As you know, I am now in my final secondary year, preparing for the coming examinations with so
much pressure. Therefore, all members in my family encourage and give me the best to help me realize my
dreams.
That is some about my family, and I would very much like to hear about yours in turn. I hope you will
share with me your family life. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Lan
