Even on a long trip, you don’t need a lot of heavy suitcases. You only need two bags-a carry-on bag and a check-in bag. Here is some advice for packing them.
Carry-on bag
• Your carry-on bag should be small and light.
• The most important things for your trip (passport, boarding pass, airline tickets, money, credit cards, cell phone, keys, etc.) should go in your carry-on bag.
• You should pack valuable things, such as a laptop or jewelry, in your carry-on bag.
You should bring a change of clothes in case your luggage is delayed.
• You should also take any medicine you need in your carry-on bag.
• Bring snacks to eat on the plane. Cookies, nuts. and dried fruit are good. Don’t bring chocolate-it’s very messy. For long trips, bring a sandwich.
And don’t bring water–you can’t take it through security. You should buy some at the airport before you board the plane.
• Remember to bring a good book or your tablet.
Check-in bag
• Your check-in bag should be strong.
• Your clothes, shoes, and other everyday things should go in your check-in bag.
• Make a list to help you remember everything.
• Pack your bag early-don’t pack on the same day as your trip!
• Think about the weather. Do you need a coat and gloves, or T-shirts and shorts? Choose the right clothes! You should pack your clothes inside plastic bags.
• Put your name and your hotel’s address and telephone number on your bag. You should put this information inside the bag, too.

Script:
Helen: Hello Mai, how was your weekend?
Mai: Fantastic! I spent my lovely weekend in Vung Tau with my schoolmates and classmates.
Helen: Oh, really. You all had a wonderful beach holiday?
Mai: Actually, it was not exactly a beach holiday. Our class had a project to carry out, namely ‘Plastic Waste Free’.
Helen: Sounds interesting. What was it exactly?
Mai: Well, we must collect the waste people left on the beach. Our responsibility was to clean an area of the beach where many people visited during high season. My principal said that the project aimed to reduce plastic waste, and give a better environment for marine creatures. And I think public engagement and awareness are also the main purposes of this type of project. There are often lots of students who are quite irresponsible when they drop litter after events, so the project will help them think about their duty to the environment.
Helen: I totally agree with you. Your class did a very good job picking up litter, didn’t you?
Mai: Of course. We collected dozens of rubbish such as plastic bags, disposable bottles, and other kinds of trash. It took us half a day to do, and we were divided into small groups. Our group finished in about three hours and then we supported the other groups. It was really good teamwork. We didn’t feel exhausted because it was lots of fun.
Để nâng cao kỹ năng nghe, học sinh nên luyện tập thường xuyên với nhiều loại tài liệu khác nhau, từ các đoạn hội thoại đơn giản đến các bài giảng phức tạp hơn. Bên cạnh đó, việc mở rộng vốn từ vựng và nắm vững các cấu trúc ngữ pháp cơ bản cũng là yếu tố quan trọng giúp cải thiện khả năng nghe hiểu.
Ngoài ra, việc tìm hiểu về văn hóa và phong tục của các nước nói tiếng Anh cũng sẽ giúp học sinh hiểu rõ hơn về ngữ cảnh và ý nghĩa của các đoạn hội thoại. Ví dụ, trong đoạn hội thoại giữa Helen và Mai, việc hiểu về tầm quan trọng của các dự án cộng đồng trong việc bảo vệ môi trường sẽ giúp học sinh đánh giá cao hơn ý nghĩa của hoạt động mà Mai đã tham gia.
