couldn't get a formal education because of not having proper identification. She had to clean bathrooms and learnt

rapper Eminem. She started to write songs about her life as a refugee, child worker and especially a female. Other

songs have empowered her friends to protest against forced marriages which account for 60-80 per cent of Afghan
marriages.

needed 7,000 dowries to prepare for Sonita's brother's wedding. Her mother thought she could sell Sonita for a man
with 9,000 dowries. Devastated by her mother's wish, Sonita fought by making a music video "Daughters for Sale"
with the help of an Iranian filmmaker. Thanks to the video, the Strongheart Group contacted her and gave her a
scholarship in the US where she now can go to school and remain single.

IX. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas.
Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as business,
scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men.
The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular in
Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many
more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic
development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the
University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a
high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the
9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the
highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women.
Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of
professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal
documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity" mark a
turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great
importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties.
Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted
by various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable
conditions for women to become involved.

HOW TO STOP WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment today. There are several sources of water
pollution ranging from sewage and fertilizers to soil erosion. The impact of water pollution on wildlife and their
natural habitats can be immense. There are also a number of things that the average person can do to help stop
water pollution.
We should conserve the soil because soil conservation influences water pollution through erosion. As soil is
eroded by water, it transfers sediment from the land to the body of water, which is polluted by the chemicals in the
sediment. Phosphorus and industrial chemicals can be pulled into water through soil erosion. When phosphorus
levels in water become too high, they can lead to algae blooms that can cause massive fish deaths and make water
unsafe for human use. The best way to prevent soil erosion is to keep the banks of rivers well-covered with plants
or trees. Planting trees can have a significantly positive impact on the reduction in soil erosion.
The oil used to lubricate engines in all types of machines needs to be changed regularly. When the oil is
changed, it presents a number of environmental hazards if not disposed of properly. When a leaky engine releases
this oil into the street, it runs to the sewer and makes its way into waterways.
Wherever you see a lot of human recreation, you will almost always see lots of evidence of human use.
Wrappers, bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common site at many well-used beaches and rivers around the
world. It should be fairly obvious that the trash from these places often ends up in waterways and can cause
pollution. Plastics are an especially big issue when it comes to water contamination at beaches and waterways.
Picking up litter wherever you find it is honestly the best, fastest way to do your part to stop this type of water
pollution.
Organize cleaning parties with local people to make the reach larger. Get businesses involved as sponsors
who will donate prizes to the person who collects the most trash if you're having a hard time finding people to sign
up to help.
It is estimated that the consumption of plastic by humans is between 250 and 300 million tons a year. About
80% of the plastic in the oceans came from the land. Using alternatives to plastics or using “less disposable”
plastics whenever possible can have a surprising impact on ocean pollution. The fact that plastic is cheap and
useful for different purposes makes it obvious choices for many people.
1. Lubricants can cause environmental hazards when ____.
A. they may be found in the streets B. they engines work perfectly
C. they are not disposed properly D. they are changed regularly
2. The following are the effects of water pollution EXCEPT that ____.
A. it may make water unsafe for human use
B. it may spoil the beauty of beaches or waterways
C. it may cause massive fish deaths due to algae blooms
D. it may keep the banks of rivers well-covered with trees
3. Soil erosion can lead to water pollution because ____.
A. massive fish deaths will make the rivers unsafe for human use
B. soil can be eroded by rain water
C. soil erosion can occur naturally everywhere
D. chemicals in the sediment from the soil erosion will pollute water
4. In order to make beaches clean and green, we should ____.
A. follow the trash from these places which often ends up in waterways
B. find places with a lot of human recreation and of evidence of human use
C. organize campaigns in which prizes will be given to the business who collects the most trash
D. ask local people to take part in cleaning up the beaches, maybe with the sponsor from businesses
5. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. using too much plastic can cause bad effects on ocean pollution
B. using plastics only causes ocean pollution
C. we don't know how to stop water pollution
D. alternatives to plastics or “less disposable” plastics can make the situation worse

As most potential ecotourist sites are inhabited by ethnic minorities, the principle of “encouraging
community participation in ecotourism activities” should both create income and help maintain cultural identity.
These communities have a deep understanding of traditional festivals, cultivation and land use customs, traditional
lifestyle and handicrafts, and historical places. A trip to the limestone mountain of Cao Bang - Bac Kan, for
example, is valuable not only for the Ba Be Lake, but for the opportunity to learn about cultivation customs, dying
practices using endemic plants to produce brocading, and traditional handmade boats of precious timber collected
in the forest.
Because ecotourism is important for environmental education, maintenance of indigenous culture, and local
economic development, both investment and government encouragement are required.
One research shows that 90 percent of ecotourist guides lack environmental knowledge about the flora,
fauna, and natural resources in the area, and 88 percent would benefit from ecotourism guidebooks written
especially for them. An illustration of wasted potential caused by this lack of training is Ha Long Bay, a world
heritage site with immense environmental value - coral reefs, limestone mountains, thousands of flora and fauna
species of high biodiversity, and rich cultural identity. But tourists in Ha Long Bay are presently visiting only the
Bay and some caves, not accessing environmental information or local cultural activities. In general, the full
potential of ecotourism has not yet been reached.
International visitors to Viet Nam often like to visit ethnic minority villages to observe the culture, meet
local people, and participate in traditional activities. The ethnic minorities who live in or near nature reserves
maintain distinctive lifestyles, cultural identities, and traditional customs. These features are part of the real value
of ecotourism. However, local people are not much involved in ecotourism.
In additional, local people still live in poverty, their life closely associates with natural resources. The
economic benefits of ecotourism need to be shared with them, but this will not happen without community
participation.
