TIENG ANH 10 is the first of a three-level English language set of

textbooks for the Vietnamese upper secondary school. It follows the
systematic, cyclical and theme-based curriculum approved by the Minister
of Education and Training on 23rd November 2012. The aim of this set of
textbooks is to develop students’ communicative competence in listening,
speaking, reading and writing so that when finishing upper secondary
school, students will achieve level three of the Vietnamese Foreign
Language Competence Framework (equivalent to B1 in the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages).
Tieng Anh 10 is divided into two volumes: Tieng Anh 10 Volume 1 and
Tieng Anh 10 Volume 2.
7+(&20321(1762)7,(1*$1+9ROXPH
The complete learning set of TIENG ANH 10 Volume 2 consists of the

STUDENT’S BOOK, TEACHER’S BOOK, WORKBOOK, and CD.
STUDENT’S BOOK
The Student’s Book contains:
• a book map which provides information about the sections of each

unit and the structure of the book
• 5 topic-based units, each comprising 5 sections taught in eight 45-
minute lessons
• 2 review lessons, each providing revision and further practice of the
preceding units, taught in two 45-minute lessons
• Glossary providing phonetic transcription of the new words in the
units and their Vietnamese equivalents
TEACHER’S BOOK
The Teacher’s Book gives full procedural notes for teaching different parts
III
,1752'8&7,21
of each unit and suggestions for the teaching techniques which teachers
could use depending on their teaching contexts. It also provides the
answer keys to the exercises in the Student’s Book and the audio scripts.
WORKBOOK
The Workbook mirrors and reinforces the content of the Student’s Book.
It offers further practice of the language and skills taught in class, and four
additional tests for students’ self-assessment.
CD
The CD includes the audio for the listening activities and recording of the
reading passages.

Student’s Book Volume 2 consists of 5 units. At the beginning of each unit,
the language points and subskills to be taught are clearly stated. Each unit
has five sections that should be taught in eight 45-minute lessons. These
theme-based units are designed to provide students with memorable
lessons and enjoyable learning experience.
SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED is the first section of the unit. It begins with a
conversation which introduces the overall topic of the unit, the basic
vocabulary and the main grammatical structures. The conversation is
followed by a number of activities for checking students’ comprehension
and practising the vocabulary and grammatical structures presented in
this section.
SECTION 2: LANGUAGE
The LANGUAGE section comprises of three sub-sections: Vocabulary,
Pronunciation and Grammar. In the Vocabulary and Grammar
subsections, some of the vocabulary items and the grammar points
presented in GETTING STARTED are now practised in more depth and
IV
,1752'8&7,21
some new ones are presented to expand students’ vocabulary and

grammar knowledge for use later in the unit. In the Pronunciation
sub-section, students are given opportunities to practise different word
stress patterns which are thought to be difficult for them.
When teaching these sub-sections, it is advisable that the three aspects

of a new language point – form, meaning and use – are paid due
attention to. Word collocation is also a focal point in the Vocabulary
sub-section. The 'Do you know …?' box summarises the three aspects
of the grammar points and provides examples, while the “Watch out”
box gives clues about the use of the grammar points presented and
learnt in the section, or provides additional grammar points.
SECTION 3: SKILLS
The SKILLS section consists of four sub-sections: Reading, Speaking,
Listening, and Writing. Those four skills are practised around the main
topic of the unit, and each skill focuses on a different aspect of the topic.
5HDGLQJ
This section is intended to develop students’ reading abilities.
It provides them with language and ideas about the topic through the
reading text, which they can use later in the Speaking or Writing lessons.
Although the division between the stages is not explicit, the Reading
subsection follows a three-stage teaching procedure: pre-reading, while-
reading and post-reading. On average, there are four or five activities in
each Reading lesson. The first activity is actually the pre-reading stage.
It introduces the topic of the reading text, providing students with an
opportunity to brainstorm on the topic or activating their own knowledge
about it. It also helps get students involved in the reading lesson. The
next two or three activities are the while-reading stage. The most useful
reading skills of skimming, scanning, understanding word meaning in
context, referencing, etc. are practised through various types of tasks
such as 'deciding the best title for the text', multiple choice, true/false,
comprehension questions and gap-filling. The last activity in the reading
V
,1752'8&7,21
sub-section is the post-reading stage. It usually consists of a discussion

activity which asks students to give their own ideas or opinions on, or
share their own experience with their partners about the issue presented
in or related to the reading text. This helps students both understand the
text more thoroughly and practise the language used in the text.
6SHDNLQJ
The Speaking sub-section follows Reading, so students can use the ideas
and apply the language they learn in their speaking activities. There
are three or four activities in this subsection. Although much of the
needed vocabulary and grammatical structures for the speaking tasks
are presented and practised in Sections 1 and 2, the speaking activities
are organised and sequenced in such a way that they are closely linked
with the preceding activity as a preparation for the one following it. The
activities become less and less controlled in the flow of the lesson. The
language and ideas are built up through the continuation of activities and
examples are given when necessary, so that in the last activity students
are fully prepared for their free production of the language on the given
topic. In all speaking activities, students are encouraged to apply and
share their own knowledge and experience to talk about the topic;
therefore, the learning is highly personalised.
/LVWHQLQJ
Like Reading, the Listening sub-section also consists of four or five activities
representing the three stages of the lesson: pre-listening, while-listening,
and post-listening. The first activity is to draw students’ attention to the topic
of the lesson, making them interested in the content of the listening text.
This is also a chance for students to share with their peers their background
knowledge related to the topic. The following two activities provide
students with practice of the skills of listening for gist and/or listening for
details. There are also tasks that help students learn new vocabulary or the
new meaning of the vocabulary learnt previously in meaningful contexts.
The most common task types are true/false, multiple choice, comprehension
questions, etc. The last activity, which can be considered as a post-listening
one aims at checking students’ listening comprehension and asking them to
express their opinions of the content of the listening text.
VI
,1752'8&7,21
:ULWLQJ
When students learn to write in English, the two biggest problems they
usually experience are lack of ideas and lack of necessary language to
express ideas. The Writing subsection prepares students to cope with
both of those. It often begins with a pre-writing activity that presents the
topic and gives students an opportunity to brainstorm ideas related to
the given topic. In the following activity, useful phrases are presented and
practised so that students can use them later. Sometimes, a model text
is presented with one or two tasks for students to study its structure and
format before producing their own text. This approach to writing gives
students some guidance so that they feel more confident and are better
prepared for the writing task.
SECTION 4: COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE

This section is divided into two subsections: Communication and Culture.
The Communication subsection provides students with an opportunity
for further practice and consolidation of the skills and the language
learnt previously in the unit. The skills are integrated: speaking with
either reading or listening, or with both. After getting some input from
the reading or listening activities, students are engaged in a discussion
about the issue brought up in the reading or listening texts. Compared
to the speaking activities in the Speaking lesson, speaking in this
Communication subsection is less controlled. Students are encouraged
to apply what they have learnt to communicate their ideas and opinions
freely. Extra vocabulary is provided in this subsection if necessary.
The Culture subsection is aimed at providing students with cultural

knowledge of the ASEAN countries and English speaking countries around
the world. Through reading, students get information about cultural
aspects to the topic of the unit and have a chance to compare features
of Vietnamese culture with those of other countries. This will broaden
students’ background knowledge about the world and deepen their
knowledge about the culture of Vietnam.
SECTION 5: LOOKING BACK & PROJECT

This section consists of two subsections: Looking back and Project.
VII
,1752'8&7,21
The Looking back subsection is designed for revision and consolidation

of the language learnt in the unit. It begins with a pronunciation activity
which aims at checking students’ ability to recognise the sounds or the
pronunciation points they have learnt. The words or phrases containing
the sounds or pronunciation points are often those that students have
met in other parts of the unit or taken from the reading or listening texts.
The vocabulary and grammar activities focus on the main vocabulary and
grammar points learnt in the unit and are aimed at checking students’
understanding of the meaning and use of those words or structures.
Students are also given a chance to apply them in their own speech in
the last activity of this subsection, which can be a free discussion or some
other communication activity.
The Project is the last part of the unit. It is aimed at providing students
with an opportunity to apply the language and skills they learnt
throughout the unit to perform a task in a realistic situation. Students
are asked to do a survey or research to get real information about their
friends, their neighbourhood or to broaden their knowledge about the
real world. The project tasks often involve teamwork so that students’
collaborative skills are developed and their team spirits are enhanced.
Much of the work for the Project is to be done outside the class, at home
or during break time. The teacher can also put aside some class time for
students to share the results of their project work.
NOTES ON TEACHING METHODOLOGY

- The teaching of both the language skills and language elements
follows a three-stage procedure. The pre-, while-, and post-
stage procedure is recommended for the skill lessons and the
presentation–practice-production (PPP) procedure for the language
lessons. Both procedures should be handled appropriately with
VIII
,1752'8&7,21
respect to the prior knowledge, beliefs and expectations that

students bring to class and the need to develop awareness, self-
reflection, critical thinking and learning strategies.
- Students’ talking time should be maximized and interactions
between students should be facilitated. The teacher can use
different question types to elicit ideas from students and guide
them in the process of practising the language.
- Vocabulary and grammatical items should be presented and
practised in meaningful contexts. Focus should be on use as well as
form and meaning.
- The use of pairwork and groupwork should be used appropriately
so that students have more opportunities to practise the language
in class. However, input should be provided with clear instruction
and demonstration before asking students to work in pairs or
groups.
- The use of groupwork should also be used to help develop students’
team spirit and teamwork skills. Due attention should be paid to
both cooperation and competition when having students work in
pairs or groups.
- Problems of mixed-ability classes should be dealt with by using
multi-tiered tasks so that students are assigned tasks suitable for
their levels. In that way, both the weaker and the better students
will be encouraged to contribute to the lesson.

Notes:
• Explain to Ss that the opening (') and closing (') quotation marks are needed for writing reported
speech.
• There is a comma before the closing quotation marks if the reporting verb follows the statement.
'I’m writing some practical advice on environmental preservation,' said Nam.
• The reporting verb said can go before or after the subject. The reporting verb is often placed before
the subject when the reporting clause (said Nam) comes after the quotation. This word order is not
used when the subject is a pronoun: ‘I want to write about environmental preservation’, he said.
(not ‘said he’).
'I want to write about environmental preservation,' said Nam / Nam said.
‘I want to write about environmental preservation,’ he said.
• Verbs in reported speech usually go back one tense, and imperative verb forms change to
infinitive.
The tense used for a that-clause depends on the time we are reporting what was said or thought.
If the situation described in the that-clause is in the past when it is reported, then a past tense is used.
When we report offers or orders in imperative form, we use a to-infinitive after the reporting clause.
• Say or tell can be used in reported speech. Say does not need an object, but tell does.
'I want to write an article,' said Nam. → Nam said (that) he wanted to write an article.
'Focus on your topic,’ Nam’s father told Nam. → Nam’s father told him to focus on his topic.

&XOWXUH The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF),

originally called The World Wildlife Fund, is a
non-government organisation. It was set up in
1961, and had its operations in areas such as the
preservation of biological diversity, sustainable
use of natural resources, the reduction of
pollution, and climate change.
The symbol of WWF originates from a panda
named Chi Chi, which was transferred from the
Beijing zoo to the London zoo in 1961 when
the organisation was established. Chi Chi was
the only giant panda in the Western world at
that time and one of the most endangered
animals. WWF recognized it as the symbol of the
organisation.
In 1986, the organisation changed its name
to World Wide Fund for Nature to better reflect
its activities. However, it has operated under the
original name in the United States and Canada.
In the 1990s, WWF revised its mission to: ‘Stop

2. Many African countries, with their numerous national parks and safaris, have
benefited from ecotourism. However, ecotourism activities have had some negative
impacts on the environment and people there.
One of the worst impacts is the massive loss of land. Parks and game reserves require vast
land, and the local people’s best pasture lands have been taken away.
In Kenya, the tourism industry has employed better educated people from other
countries. As a result, ecotourism has not provided more jobs for the local people.
In Tanzania, hunting in some game reserves is allowed. Camping requires firewood for
cooking and heating. These activities have caused danger and harm to the environment.
