Read the comments on Helen's blog post. Write J for Jackie or A for Ann.

Ann: Thanks for sharing your interesting post, Helen. I really like them. I love reading comics, too. They are exciting. When I have free time, I like to play online games. People think online games are for boys only, but I don't think so. The games are for all, but we should play them in the right way. It isn't the right thing to play them too much. I love collecting lovely stickers in my free time, too. I use them to decorate my notebooks.

Jackie: Hi, Helen and Ann. I don't really like reading comic books. But I am a fan of Marvel comics, such as Spider-Man or Iron Man. I like playing games, too, but I prefer outdoor games. I like running and moving my body rather than sitting in front of my computer screen for long hours. Sometimes, I stay home and build model cars when I don't feel like going out. I am now thinking of saving money to buy a set to play on weekends.

Study and free time survey

Do you spend more time doing homework or playing video games? A lot of students think that they spend more time doing homework. But is this true? My class did a survey to check. In the survey, we asked students the number of hours they spend doing homework and playing video games every week.There are 800 students in our school. We asked all the students two questions:

How many hours do you spend doing homework every week?

How many hours do you spend playing video games every week?

We presented the data in three different charts. Here are the results.

3. Study the charts. Then choose the correct words in the reports.

Animals in fiction 

(Động vật trong tiểu thuyết)

There are a lot of books about animals for children. Can you think of any famous books? 

One very famous book about animals is 'Diary of a cricket' by Tô Hoài, a Vietnamese author. It is a favourite book of many young readers in Việt Nam and in other countries. 

The story is about the adventures of a cricket named De Mèn. He travels with his friends to explore the world. On their way, they meet many dangers, but they are brave to overcome all of them. At the beginning, Dế Mèn is an aggressive cricket. Through his travels, he learns to be kind and helpful. He often helps weak friends along the way. 

The story also takes us to the world of insects in beautiful nature - a river, a lawn, a forest or a white cloud in the blue sky. 

It is a good book for children. This book teaches children to behave nicely to others. It also makes them love nature and peace.

Tạm dịch:

Có rất nhiều sách về động vật dành cho trẻ em. Bạn có nghĩ đến cuốn sách nổi tiếng nào không?

Một cuốn sách rất nổi tiếng về động vật là Nhật ký của chú dế mèn của Tô Hoài, một tác giả người Việt Nam. Đây là cuốn sách yêu thích của nhiều độc giả trẻ ở Việt Nam và nhiều quốc gia khác.

Câu chuyện kể về cuộc phiêu lưu của chú dế tên De Mèn. Anh ấy đi du lịch với bạn bè của mình để khám phá thế giới. Trên đường đi, họ gặp rất nhiều nguy hiểm, nhưng họ đã dũng cảm vượt qua tất cả. Ban đầu, Dế Mèn là một chú dế hung hãn. Thông qua các chuyến đi của mình, anh ấy học cách trở nên tử tế và hữu ích. Anh ấy thường giúp đỡ những người bạn yếu đuối trên đường đi.

Câu chuyện cũng đưa chúng ta đến với thế giới của các loài côn trùng trong thiên nhiên tươi đẹp - một dòng sông, một bãi cỏ, một khu rừng hay một đám mây trắng trên bầu trời xanh.

Đó là một cuốn sách hay cho trẻ em. Cuốn sách này dạy trẻ em cư xử tử tế với người khác. Nó cũng khiến bọn trẻ yêu thiên nhiên và hòa bình.

People divide hobbies into four big groups: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things. Gardening belongs to the most popular group - doing things.

Gardening is one of the oldest outdoor activities. It has something for everyone, even for chỉldren. Gardening teaches children about flowers, fruits, and vegetables. They can also learn about insects and bugs. When gardening, children learn to be patient and take on responsibility. They learn to wait for the plants to grow to maturity And if they don’t water their plants, their plants will die. This teaches them valuable lessons about responsibility.

Gardening is also good because everyone in the family can join in and do something together. My mum and I love gardening. We usually spend an hour a day in our garden. It really makes us happy, and we love spending time together.

Do you have any hobbies? If you don’t, please start one because having a hobby is very beneficial. Firstly, a hobby gives you something fun to do during your leisure time, especially during pandemics. During the Covid-19 lockdown, my family reads books and watches films together. This makes us feel better when we have to stay at home. Secondly, a hobby makes you a more interesting person. If you have a lot of experience and skills, you can share them with others. I love traveling, and I usually share my experiences with my classmates. This way, I have more friends. Now we have a travel group in our class. Last but not least, a hobby can help you develop new skills. If you spend a lot of time on your hobby, your skills will improve. My sister loves sewing. After sewing for two years, she can now sew beautiful doll clothes. Those are the reasons why you should have hobbies.

a. Match each word in A with its meaning in B.

(Nối mỗi từ ở cột A với nghĩa của nó ở cột B.)

2. Why I Like Playing Online Games

Playing online games is my hobby and I began playing games when I was eight years old. I play online with my friends at school. Now, we are playing a game called Pinecraft. In this game, we can grow trees and then use the wood from the trees to build houses and other things. It's very popular and a lot of fun to do. I spend about two hours a day playing online. I think it's a good way to relax. It's also another way to have fun and hang out with my friends. I can see them every day in the game. My parents say it's OK to play online as long as I do my homework first.
