SPRING SCHOOL

Spring school is an informal school. It provides classes to disadvantaged children in Ho Chi Minh city. Around 30 street

children live and study at school and about 250 children with special difficulties from district 1 regularly attend classes.

The Organization for Education Development co- operated with Spring School to set up English classes in 1998.

Dance, theatre, singing and circus classes were set up a year later. Children from these classes participate in fundraising

performances. They raise money to continue their English and performance Arts classes.

Spring school requires volunteers to help organises their fundraising dinner held annually in June. This is an exciting

night in which children perform circus, theatre, dance, and singing at one of the largest hotels in Ho Chi Minh city. They

Quantifiers Exercises – English Grammar Test

A few and few, a little and little

These expressions show the speaker’s attitude towards the quantity he/she is referring to.

A few (for countable nouns) and a little (for uncountable nouns) describe the quantity in a positive way:

“I’ve got a few friends” (= maybe not many, but enough)

“I’ve got a little money” (= I’ve got enough to live on)

Few and little describe the quantity in a negative way:

Few people visited him in hospital (= he had almost no visitors)

He had little money (= almost no money)

Graded Quantifiers

They are like comparatives and hold a relative position on a scale of increase or decrease.

INCREASE (0% to 100%)

With plural countable nouns:

many more most

With uncountable nouns:

much more most

     

DECREASE (100% to 0%)

With plural countable nouns:

few fewer fewest

With uncountable nouns:

little less least

Examples:

· There are many people in Poland, more in India, but the most people live in China.

· Much time and money is spent on education, more on health services but the most is spent on national defense.

· Few rivers in Europe aren’t polluted.

· Fewer people die young now than in the nineteenth century.

· The country with the fewest people per square kilometre must be Australia.

· Scientists have little hope of finding a complete cure for cancer before 2010.

· She had less time to study than I did but had better results.

· Give that dog the least opportunity and it will bite you.

Quantifiers with countable and uncountable nouns

Some adjectives and adjectival phrases can only go with uncountable nouns (salt, rice, money, advice), and some can only

go with countable nouns (friends, bags, people). The words in the middle column can be used with both countable and

uncountable nouns.

With Uncountable Nouns With Both With Countable Nouns

How much? How much? or How many? How many?

a little no/none a few

a bit (of) not any a number (of)

  some (any) Several

a great deal of a lot of a large number of

a large amount of plenty of a great number of

a large quantity of lots of a majority of

Note: much and many are used in negative and question forms.

Example:

How much money have you got?

How many cigarettes have you smoked?

· There’s not much sugar in the cupboard.

· There weren’t many people at the party.

They are also used with too, (not) so, and (not) as

There were too many people at the party.

It’s a problem when there are so many people.

There’s not so much work to do this week.

In positive statements, we use a lot of:

· I’ve got a lot of work this week.

Quantifiers – Some or Any, Something or Anything

Some In positive statements. I gave him some money. We bought some food.

Any In negative statements. She didn’t have any money. I couldn’t find any books.

Some and any are used with countable and uncountable nouns, to describe an indefinite or incomplete amount.

Some is used in positive statements.

It is also used in questions where we are sure about the answer.

“Did he give you some tea?” (= I’m sure he did.)

giving an invitation.

“Would you like some books?”

Any is used in questions and with not in negative statements.

“Have you got any tea?”

“He didn’t give me any tea.”

“I don’t think we’ve got any tea left.”

Something, Anything, Someone, Anyone etc.

Compound nouns with some- and any- are used in the same way as some and any.

Positive statements:

“Someone is sleeping in my bed.”

“He saw something in the garden.”

“I left my glasses somewhere in the house.”

Questions:

“Are you looking for someone?” (= I’m sure you are)

There is a difference in emphasis between nothing, nobody etc. and not … anything, not … anybody:

“I don’t know anything about it.” (= neutral, no emphasis)

“I know nothing about it.” (= more emphatic, maybe defensive)

“ Is there anybody who speaks English here?”

“There is nobody in the house at the moment.”

“Does anybody have the time?”

“When I arrived there was nobody to meet me.”

ANY can also be used in positive statements to mean ‘no matter which’, ‘no matter who’, ‘no matter what’:

“You can borrow any of my books.”

“They can choose anything from the menu.”

“You may invite anybody to dinner, I don’t mind who comes.”

Enough

Enough is placed before the noun, to indicate the quantity required or necessary:

“There is enough bread for lunch.”

“She has enough money.”

Enough is also used with adjectives and adverbs:

“We didn’t have enough time to visit London Bridge.”

“Is there enough milk for breakfast?”

“She has enough talent to become an international singing star.”

READING COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and check () whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Energy makes change; it does things for us. It moves cars along the road and boats over the water. It bakes a cake

in the oven and keeps ice frozen in the freezer. It plays our favourite songs on the radio and lights our homes. Energy

makes our bodies grow and allows our minds to think. Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. People have

learned how to change energy from one from one form to another so that we can do work more easily and live more

comfortably.

All forms of energy are stored in different ways, in the energy sources that we use every day. These sources are

divided into two groups – renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy source is an energy source that can be

replenished in a short period of time. Nonrenewable energy source is an energy source that we are using up and cannot

recreate in a short period of time.

Renewable energy sources include solar energy, which comes from the Sun and can be turned into electricity and

heat. Wind, geothermal energy from inside the Earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower and ocean energy from water

are also renewable energy sources.

However, we get most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include the fossil fuels – oil,

natural gas, and coal. They’re called fossil fuels because they were formed over millions and millions of years by the

action of heat from the Earth’s core and pressure from rock and soil on the remains of dead plants and animals. Another

nonrenewable energy source is the element uranium, whose atoms we split (through a process called nuclear fission) to

create heat and ultimately electricity.

The Asian Games, also called the Asiad, is a multi-sport event held every four years among athletes from all over

Asia. The games are regulated by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) under the supervision of the International Olympic

Committee (IOC).

In August 1948, during the 14th Olympic Games in London, Indian IOC representative Guru Dutt Sondhi

proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed

to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory committee was set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur

athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formally formed and used the name Asian Games

Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games in 1951 in New Delhi, the capital of India. They added that the

Asian Games would be regularly held once every four years.

Medals are awarded in each event, with gold for first place, silver for second and bronze for third, a tradition

which started in 1951.

Competitors are entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent theor country of citizenship.

National anthems and flags accompany the medal ceremonies, and tables showing the number of medals won by each

country are widely used. In general, only recognized nations are represented, but a few non-sovereign countries are

allowed to take part.

The 15th Asian Games were held in Doha, Qatar from December 1 to December 15, 2006. More than 10,000

athletes, who represented 45 countries and regions, took part in 39 sports and 424 events of the Games. The 16 th Asian

Games will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 12, 2010 to November 27, 2010.

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as overs (envelopes or packages

with stamps on them). It is one of the world’s most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up

to 20 million in the United States alone.

Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details, but the creation of a

large or comprehensive collection generally requires some philatelic knowledge. This is especially important for those

who intend to spend large amounts for stamps.

Stamps collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries who create limited runs of

elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamps collectors. The stamps produced by these countries far exceed

the postal needs of the countries.

Some collectors, observing the generally rising prices of rare stamps, have taken to Philatelic Investment. Rare

stamps are among the most portable of tangible investments, and are easy to store. They offer an attractive alternative to

art, other collectible investments, and precious metals.

READING COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.

Recreation is the use of time in a non-profitable way, in many ways also a therapeutic refreshment of one’s body

or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or rest, recreation is active for the participant but in a

refreshing and diverting manner. As people in the world’s wealthier regions lead increasingly sedentary lifestyles, the

need for recreation has grown. The rise of so-called active vacations exemplifies this trend.

Recreation, play, and fun are not the preserve of human; nearly all creatures indulge in this to some extent. Play is

essential for the development of skills, the most basic of which are motor skills in young creatures.

The choice of hours for recreation is, for employees, restricted by the requirements of, and agreements with, the

employer (working time), and for students by schools hours. For people with their own business it is also restricted by the

requirements of the work, such as the opening hours of the business based on wishes of customers, laws, and customs.

The weekend is usually a time for recreation. Holidays are also a common time for recreation, though recreation

may take place at virtually any time. Recreation commonly occurs during an individual’s discretionary time.

Traditionally Olympics, music and dance serve as recreation in many cultures, as do sports, hobbies, game

(playing) and tourism. Watching TV and listening to music are common forms of recreation, or rather leisure.

31. What is the difference between leisure and recreation?

A. Leisure is active for participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner, recreation is more likely a form of

entertainment or rest.

B. Leisure isn’t likely a form of entertainment or rest, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing

and diverting manner.

C. Leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or rest while recreation is active for the participant but in a

refreshing and diverting manner.

D. Leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or rest, recreation isn’t active for the participant but in a

refreshing and diverting manner.

Yuri Gagarin

(1934 - 1968)

Yuri Gagarin was born in Klushino near Gzhatsk, a region west of Moscow, Russia, on March 9, 1934. He was a

Soviet cosmonaut who in 1961 became the first person in space and the first human to orbit the Earth. The adjacent town

of Gzhatsk was renamed Gagarin in 1968 in his honor.

Yuri Gagarin’s parents worked on a collective farm. His mother was reportedly a voracious reader, and his father

a skilled carpenter. He was the third of four children in his family. Gagarin’s teacher described him as intelligent and

hard-working.

After starting an apprenticeship in a metalwork’s as a foundry man, Gagarin was selected for further training at a

high technical school in Saratov. While there, he joined the “AeroClub”, and learned how to fly a light aircraft. In 1955,

after completing his technical schooling, he entered military flight training at the Orenburg Pilot’s school. While there he

met Valentina Goryacheva, whom married in 1957, after gaining his pilot’s wing in a Mig-15.

1960, an extensive search and selections process saw Yuri Gagarin, as one of 20 cosmonauts, selected for the

Soviet space program. Out of the 20 selected, the eventual choices for the first launch were Gagarin and Gherman Titov,

because of their excellent performance in training, as well as their physical characteristics. On April 12, 1961, Gagarin

became the first human to travel into space in Vostok 3KA-2 (Vostok 1). He lost his life in a training accident on March

27, 1968.
