TRAVEL AND TECHNOLOGY
It wasn't long ago that going on holiday meant visiting or calling a travel agent to book your flights and hotel. Now,
technology may be putting these travel agencies out of business. For one, more people are going online to find and compare
prices of flights and hotels, and plan their own itineraries, while connecting with other travellers and reading about each others'
experiences. The Internet has a wealth of resources so travellers can learn more about their destination, discover local
treasures, or uncover any potential problems they could encounter. Here are three travellers who have not looked back since
going online:
Geoff, 37
The first thing I do when I'm preparing to travel is to visit traveller-review websites like TripAdvisor. These interactive sites
let travellers share their experiences at tourist attractions, restaurants, and hotels. They can give each place a rating, write a
review, or discuss them in online forums. Reading the opinions of genuine travellers can be much more convincing than any
advertisement. On top of that, reviewers ofen provide tips, like where to find a money changer in a small town, or which is the
best room in a hotel. Also, being able to search for attractions by location, price, or quality rating is a big help because the kind
of place I'm looking for depends on whether I'm travelling for work or for leisure. When I travel for work, I focus on comfort
Thẩm Tâm Vy’s Archives BÀI THI THỬ TNPT 2019 (10) 1
and location. But when I'm with my wife and three kids, I always try to get the best value for our money. We also love making
peronalized travel plans that focus on our interests, such as food and beautiful beaches.
Hanna, 24
I used to accompany my family on package trips with tour guides and expensive accommodation, but travelling like that
separates you from the local culture. It's not really my style. When I go travelling by myself, I love to stay with local people, so
I use websites like Couchsurfing and Airbnb to find people to stay with. These sites help you connect with someone in your
destination city so that you can rent their space or even stay in their spare room for free. I find that staying with someone is
often more comfortable than staying in a hotel, and it's usually cheaper. Also, by staying with locals, you get to meet new
people and can get sightseeing tips about the city you're visiting. I love to experience the culture and not just the tourist
attractions. So when I stay with people, I ask them to telI me about cool places they go to, like their favourite cafés, markets,
and shops. And by the end of my stay, I've usually made a few friends!
Rajeev, 28
These days, I never leave for a trip without my smartphone. I use apps and the Internet to access maps, airport information,
and many other things. I used to take taxis or the subway to get everywhere in a new city. But not only does the cost of these
rides add up, they're also not a great way to see a city or learn about a new place. With my smartphone, I'm more confident
finding my own way around. I always have access to a map, so I do a lot of walking tours. I don't have to worry about getting
lost because I can enter my destination into my phone and it will give me directions, and even re-adjusts the route if I make a
wrong turn. I've even used smartphone apps to tour museums in New York and London. With the right apps and an Internet
connection, a smartphone makes navigating the city a breeze!
Question 19: Why does Geoff like using traveller-review websites?
A. Real travellers often give the most accurate and, helpful information.
B. He wants to find cheap accomodations.
C. He tries to find the cheapest options for his business trips.
D. The sites help him meet local people in the places he travels to.
Question 20: Which traveller is LEAST likely to use a website like Couchsurfing?
A. Hanna B. Rajeev C. All of them D. Geoff
Question 21: How do websites like Couchsurfing or Airbnb work?
A. They give you sightseeing tips and information on the local culture.
B. They help you meet local people who are willing to let you stay with them.
C. They help you find cheap and comfortable accommodation in hotels.
D. They help tourists with finding information about hotels and restaurants.
Question 22: What does the writer mean when he says the three travellers have not looked back (line 5)?
A. They are thinking back to their experiences using technology while travelling.
B. They now prefer to use technology instead of going to travel agencies.
C. They do not regret travelling by themselves.
D. They only use the best and latest technology when travelling.
Question 23: What does a smart phone makes navigating the city a breeze (last line) mean?
A. You get exercise and fresh air doing a walking tour with a smart phone.
B. It’s quite easy to navigate on the map for new destinations.
C. A smart phone helps you connect to other people for information about a city.
D. It's very easy to get around the city with a smart phone.
Question 24: The writer collected these three opinions to......
A. show teenagers’ trend of travelling
B. show the different ways people are using technology to improve travel
C. convince people that technology is not necessary for travel
D. illustrate the pros and cons of travel-related technology
Question 25: Why does the writer think travel agencies are going out of business?
A. The prices are too expensive B. Travel agancies are not available.
C. Booking for a tour is complicated. D. More people are going online to suitable flights and hotels.

OUR ENERGY RESOURCES

A JOURNEY UNDER THE SEA
Several years ago, my wife and I came upon an advertisement in a travel magazine for an international exchange programme
promising “the chance of a lifetime”. Not one to let such an intriguing opportunity pass me by, but a bit hesitant about taking
such a leap into the unknown, I did some research and discovered that the programme involved something called
houseswapping.
After much discussion, my family and I decided to, as they say, go for it. Consequently, we were soon jetting off for a holiday
in the Peak District of England while our exchange partners were settling down for their vacation in our flat back home in Mt
Vernon, Washington. The exchange was for a month and the time passed quickly. To end our time away on a high note, we
decided to travel to Paris via the engineering marvel known as the Channel Tunnel.
Being on a fairly tight budget, we opted for a package deal which included round-trip tickets on the Eurostar passenger
train, five nights in a three-star hotel in Paris, Metro passes and unlimited use of the Paris bus system. When the package still
hadn't arrived after a week, I began to think that perhaps our trip hadn't been such a good idea after all. Maybe it was a sign
that we shouldn't go.
The tickets and vouchers eventually arrived and I scolded myself for having had such silly thoughts. On the day of departure,
with plenty of time to spare, my two teenage children, my wife and I stood waiting eagerly on the platform at Waterloo Station.
At exactly 7.57 am, we boarded our train and began our journey through the picturesque county of Kent. About an hour into
our journey, an announcement, in both English and French, informed us that we were about to enter the Channel Tunnel.
The Eurostar adverts had boasted proudly about the engineering feat that was the ‘Chunnel', and the convenience it offered to
those travelling between England and the Continent. They had spoken highly of the “lack of rough seas” and to me, a person
who gets seasick very easily, this was a major selling point. When all is said and done, however, I must admit that there were
moments when I felt quite nervous about travelling 50 metres below the bottom of the English Channel. Inside the tunnel itself,
there really wasn't much to grab my attention - no posters or other artwork, so I busied myself studying the occupants of our
carriage. Some calmly read novels or newspapers; others quietly looked through business reports and notes. I quickly realised,
however, that most of my fellow passengers were like my family in that they looked excited and very happy to be enjoying
such a novel travel experience.
Our underwater journey ended as quickly as it had begun. All of a sudden, we left the darkness of the tunnel behind and
nosed out into the light of the pleasant French morning. The tracks being well-built, we quickly accelerated to 300 kph, the
speed of a Boeing 747 at take-off. We arrived in Paris' busy city centre a mere 180 minutes after leaving London. That journey,
and indeed the whole time that we spent on the exchange programme, have given us all a yearning for new experiences, and
many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.

TRAVEL AND TECHNOLOGY
It wasn't long ago that going on holiday meant visiting or calling a travel agent to book your flights and hotel. Now,
technology may be putting these travel agencies out of business. For one, more people are going online to find and compare
prices of flights and hotels, and plan their own itineraries, while connecting with other travellers and reading about each others'
experiences. The Internet has a wealth of resources so travellers can learn more about their destination, discover local
treasures, or uncover any potential problems they could encounter. Here are three travellers who have not looked back since
going online:
Geoff, 37
The first thing I do when I'm preparing to travel is to visit traveller-review websites like TripAdvisor. These interactive sites
let travellers share their experiences at tourist attractions, restaurants, and hotels. They can give each place a rating, write a
review, or discuss them in online forums. Reading the opinions of genuine travellers can be much more convincing than any
advertisement. On top of that, reviewers ofen provide tips, like where to find a money changer in a small town, or which is the
best room in a hotel. Also, being able to search for attractions by location, price, or quality rating is a big help because the kind
of place I'm looking for depends on whether I'm travelling for work or for leisure. When I travel for work, I focus on comfort
and location. But when I'm with my wife and three kids, I always try to get the best value for our money. We also love making
peronalized travel plans that focus on our interests, such as food and beautiful beaches.
Hanna, 24
I used to accompany my family on package trips with tour guides and expensive accommodation, but travelling like that
separates you from the local culture. It's not really my style. When I go travelling by myself, I love to stay with local people, so
I use websites like Couchsurfing and Airbnb to find people to stay with. These sites help you connect with someone in your
destination city so that you can rent their space or even stay in their spare room for free. I find that staying with someone is
often more comfortable than staying in a hotel, and it's usually cheaper. Also, by staying with locals, you get to meet new
people and can get sightseeing tips about the city you're visiting. I love to experience the culture and not just the tourist
attractions. So when I stay with people, I ask them to telI me about cool places they go to, like their favourite cafés, markets,
and shops. And by the end of my stay, I've usually made a few friends!
Rajeev, 28
These days, I never leave for a trip without my smartphone. I use apps and the Internet to access maps, airport information,
and many other things. I used to take taxis or the subway to get everywhere in a new city. But not only does the cost of these
rides add up, they're also not a great way to see a city or learn about a new place. With my smartphone, I'm more confident
finding my own way around. I always have access to a map, so I do a lot of walking tours. I don't have to worry about getting
lost because I can enter my destination into my phone and it will give me directions, and even re-adjusts the route if I make a
wrong turn. I've even used smartphone apps to tour museums in New York and London. With the right apps and an Internet
connection, a smartphone makes navigating the city a breeze!

A JOURNEY UNDER THE SEA
Several years ago, my wife and I came upon an advertisement in a travel magazine for an international exchange programme
promising “the chance of a lifetime”. Not one to let such an intriguing opportunity pass me by, but a bit hesitant about taking
such a leap into the unknown, I did some research and discovered that the programme involved something called
houseswapping.
After much discussion, my family and I decided to, as they say, go for it. Consequently, we were soon jetting off for a holiday
in the Peak District of England while our exchange partners were settling down for their vacation in our flat back home in Mt
Vernon, Washington. The exchange was for a month and the time passed quickly. To end our time away on a high note, we
decided to travel to Paris via the engineering marvel known as the Channel Tunnel.
Being on a fairly tight budget, we opted for a package deal which included round-trip tickets on the Eurostar passenger
train, five nights in a three-star hotel in Paris, Metro passes and unlimited use of the Paris bus system. When the package still
hadn't arrived after a week, I began to think that perhaps our trip hadn't been such a good idea after all. Maybe it was a sign
that we shouldn't go.
The tickets and vouchers eventually arrived and I scolded myself for having had such silly thoughts. On the day of departure,
with plenty of time to spare, my two teenage children, my wife and I stood waiting eagerly on the platform at Waterloo Station.
At exactly 7.57 am, we boarded our train and began our journey through the picturesque county of Kent. About an hour into
our journey, an announcement, in both English and French, informed us that we were about to enter the Channel Tunnel.
The Eurostar adverts had boasted proudly about the engineering feat that was the ‘Chunnel', and the convenience it offered to
those travelling between England and the Continent. They had spoken highly of the “lack of rough seas” and to me, a person
who gets seasick very easily, this was a major selling point. When all is said and done, however, I must admit that there were
moments when I felt quite nervous about travelling 50 metres below the bottom of the English Channel. Inside the tunnel itself,
there really wasn't much to grab my attention - no posters or other artwork, so I busied myself studying the occupants of our
carriage. Some calmly read novels or newspapers; others quietly looked through business reports and notes. I quickly realised,
however, that most of my fellow passengers were like my family in that they looked excited and very happy to be enjoying
such a novel travel experience.
Our underwater journey ended as quickly as it had begun. All of a sudden, we left the darkness of the tunnel behind and
nosed out into the light of the pleasant French morning. The tracks being well-built, we quickly accelerated to 300 kph, the
speed of a Boeing 747 at take-off. We arrived in Paris' busy city centre a mere 180 minutes after leaving London. That journey,
and indeed the whole time that we spent on the exchange programme, have given us all a yearning for new experiences, and
many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.

OUR ENERGY RESOURCES
There are two categories of energy resources: renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable energy resources cannot be

Non-renewable energy comes from fossil fuels ...(44)... as coal, oil and natural gas. They were formed over millions of years
from the remains of living things, and it would take millions of years to replace them. Fossil fuels release energy when they are
burnt, but they also release large amounts of carbon dioxide, ...(45)... pollutes the atmosphere and increases global warming.
Renewable energy resources include wind, water and solar power. The Earth has an endless supply of these forms of power,
and using them causes little or no pollution. The power of the wind is ...(46)... into electricity using wind turbines. The power
of moving water, whether from dams, or the ocean waves, can drive hydroelectric turbines, while energy from the sun can
provide heat or be turned into electricity.
Cutting down on the amount of fossil fuels we use would ...(47)... pollution and conserve the Earth’s resources before they
disappear completely. We can all help. For example, we can slow down when driving and walk to school ...(48)... than travel
by car, and we can turn off the lights when we leave the room.

with plenty of time to spare, my two teenage children, my wife and I stood waiting eagerly on the platform at Waterloo Station.
At exactly 7.57 am, we boarded our train and began our journey through the picturesque county of Kent. About an hour into
our journey, an announcement, in both English and French, informed us that we were about to enter the Channel Tunnel.
The Eurostar adverts had boasted proudly about the engineering feat that was the ‘Chunnel', and the convenience it offered to
those travelling between England and the Continent. They had spoken highly of the “lack of rough seas” and to me, a person
who gets seasick very easily, this was a major selling point. When all is said and done, however, I must admit that there were
moments when I felt quite nervous about travelling 50 metres below the bottom of the English Channel. Inside the tunnel itself,
there really wasn't much to grab my attention - no posters or other artwork, so I busied myself studying the occupants of our
carriage. Some calmly read novels or newspapers; others quietly looked through business reports and notes. I quickly realised,
however, that most of my fellow passengers were like my family in that they looked excited and very happy to be enjoying
such a novel travel experience.
Our underwater journey ended as quickly as it had begun. All of a sudden, we left the darkness of the tunnel behind and
nosed out into the light of the pleasant French morning. The tracks being well-built, we quickly accelerated to 300 kph, the
speed of a Boeing 747 at take-off. We arrived in Paris' busy city centre a mere 180 minutes after leaving London. That journey,
and indeed the whole time that we spent on the exchange programme, have given us all a yearning for new experiences, and
many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.

TRAVEL AND TECHNOLOGY
It wasn't long ago that going on holiday meant visiting or calling a travel agent to book your flights and hotel. Now,
technology may be putting these travel agencies out of business. For one, more people are going online to find and compare
prices of flights and hotels, and plan their own itineraries, while connecting with other travellers and reading about each others'
experiences. The Internet has a wealth of resources so travellers can learn more about their destination, discover local
treasures, or uncover any potential problems they could encounter. Here are three travellers who have not looked back since
going online:
Geoff, 37
The first thing I do when I'm preparing to travel is to visit traveller-review websites like TripAdvisor. These interactive sites
let travellers share their experiences at tourist attractions, restaurants, and hotels. They can give each place a rating, write a
review, or discuss them in online forums. Reading the opinions of genuine travellers can be much more convincing than any
advertisement. On top of that, reviewers ofen provide tips, like where to find a money changer in a small town, or which is the
best room in a hotel. Also, being able to search for attractions by location, price, or quality rating is a big help because the kind
Thẩm Tâm Vy’s Archives BÀI THI THỬ TNPT 2019 (10) 14
of place I'm looking for depends on whether I'm travelling for work or for leisure. When I travel for work, I focus on comfort
and location. But when I'm with my wife and three kids, I always try to get the best value for our money. We also love making
peronalized travel plans that focus on our interests, such as food and beautiful beaches.
Hanna, 24
I used to accompany my family on package trips with tour guides and expensive accommodation, but travelling like that
separates you from the local culture. It's not really my style. When I go travelling by myself, I love to stay with local people, so
I use websites like Couchsurfing and Airbnb to find people to stay with. These sites help you connect with someone in your
destination city so that you can rent their space or even stay in their spare room for free. I find that staying with someone is
often more comfortable than staying in a hotel, and it's usually cheaper. Also, by staying with locals, you get to meet new
people and can get sightseeing tips about the city you're visiting. I love to experience the culture and not just the tourist
attractions. So when I stay with people, I ask them to telI me about cool places they go to, like their favourite cafés, markets,
and shops. And by the end of my stay, I've usually made a few friends!
Rajeev, 28
These days, I never leave for a trip without my smartphone. I use apps and the Internet to access maps, airport information,
and many other things. I used to take taxis or the subway to get everywhere in a new city. But not only does the cost of these
rides add up, they're also not a great way to see a city or learn about a new place. With my smartphone, I'm more confident
finding my own way around. I always have access to a map, so I do a lot of walking tours. I don't have to worry about getting
lost because I can enter my destination into my phone and it will give me directions, and even re-adjusts the route if I make a
wrong turn. I've even used smartphone apps to tour museums in New York and London. With the right apps and an Internet
connection, a smartphone makes navigating the city a breeze!

D. They help tourists with finding information about hotels and restaurants.

A. Real travellers often give the most accurate and, helpful information.
B. He tries to find the cheapest options for his business trips.
C. The sites help him meet local people in the places he travels to.
