2. Read the text about Hồ Xuân Hương. What do the highlighted words and phrases mean?

(Đọc đoạn văn về Hồ Xuân Hương. Các từ và cụm từ được đánh dấu có nghĩa là gì?)

Hồ Xuân Huong (1772-1822) is one of Việt Nam's most iconic poets. She was born into a poor family at the end of the Lê dynasty. Little is known about her personal life, but many people have agreed that she endured a great deal of hardship in her childhood. She grew up and became a prominent poet of her time. Her life coincided with significant social and political change in Việt Nam at the time.

Hồ Xuân Hương wrote poetry using chữ Nôm (Southern Script) which adapts Chinese characters. Her poetry often challenged traditional social norms and tackled taboo subjects with a clever tone. She covered a wide range of topics, including love, desire, gender roles, social injustice, and political corruption, among which women played a significant role. Her poems are renowned for their use of vivid imagery, wordplay, and metaphors, which allowed her to convey deep meanings, and later was considered to be ahead of her time. Hồ Xuân Huong's poems continue to resonate with many local readers in today's society, as they provide insights into the social and cultural context of 19th century Việt Nam. International readers can also find translations of these poems highly relatable as they address universal themes that transcend time and place. Her contributions to Vietnamese literature have earned her the title "the Queen of Nôm poetry".

Antarctic habitat

Antarctica covers the South Pole of our planet and is the fifth largest continent in the world. Antarctica has an extremely cold, dry climate. It is the coldest place on Earth and is ice-covered. During winter, the water is always frozen because the temperature drops as low as -30°C. There are only two seasons in Antarctica: summer and winter. In this continent, snow rarely melts; rather, it builds up over a number of years to produce ice sheets. In the form of glaciers, ice shelves, and icebergs, ice plays a significant role in the Antarctic ecosystem.

Who live in an Antarctic habitat?

There are no native humans in Antartica as it is too cold for anyone to live there. However, some residents, such as scientists, still work and live in scientific stations. Tourists may also travel to Antarctica.

What animals live in an Antarctic habitat?

Some animals choose Antarctica as their habitat. These animals include:

Seals

The leopard seal, the crabeater seal, the Weddell seal, and the southern elephant seal are the four types of seals living in this habitat. Being slow predators, these seals hunt by waiting for their prey in specific locations.

Whales

Many different whales live in Antarctic waters in the summer, eating fish, squid, plankton and penguins. Different types of whales include humpback, blue whale, and killer whale.

Penguins

The most familiar animal of Antarctica is probably the penguin. Penguins live in the waters surrounding the Antarctic most of the time, although they sometimes come up on land to mate and raise their chicks. Penguins mostly feed on very small fish and krill.

3. Read the text about an Al-generated virtual singer in Việt Nam. Choose the best answer to the questions.

(Đọc đoạn văn về ca sĩ ảo Al-generated ở Việt Nam. Chọn câu trả lời tốt nhất cho các câu hỏi.)

Virtual singers are a novel trend in the field of music. These singers are not human; rather they are generated by artificial intelligence (Al) algorithms, which create realistic-looking images of humans. These virtual singers can play music and sing with the same proficiency as human singers.

Ann, the first virtual singer produced in Việt Nam by BoBo Studio, is a remarkable example of this technology. Her voice is created using natural human sounds, such as breathing, which makes her sound as real as possible. The entire process is accomplished using complex Al algorithms and sound effects.

Ann's first song, "Làm Sao Nói Thuong Anh" (How to Say I Love You), was released on YouTube, which is likely to make her an Internet sensation in Việt Nam. The music video is entirely computer-generated using visual effects, which represents a new genre of music. Ann's creators hope that she will become a successful ballad singer, with a unique musical style that will evolve from ballads to rock with a baby voice. They aspire for Ann to become a popular idol, renowned for her musical talents.

Virtual singers, like Ann, are not just limited to singing. They can also act, promote fashion and commerce, and are a perfect example of talented Al-generated individuals who can become pop idols.

Countries like Japan, South Korea, and the US have been using virtual singers for a while now. Studios report that virtual singers have some advantages over real singers. For example, virtual singers do not get tired and do not age, which makes them easier to manage and maintain for a longer time.

2. Read quickly through the text. Check if you understand the words in blue.

The human brain is a fascinating organ in the body responsible for numerous cognitive functions, including language acquisition and learning. The brain is divided into left and right hemispheres. For decades, research has highlighted the dominance of the left hemisphere in language learning and the right hemisphere has been largely overlooked. Recently, scientists have found that each has distinct functions and contributions to language learning.

The Left Hemisphere

The left hemisphere of the brain primarily contributes to a person's language processing and analytical thinking. It plays a fundamental role in helping learners decode and produce language, including grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. Additionally, this hemisphere is involved in reading, writing, and verbal memory. When learners learn a new language, their left hemisphere helps them in understanding the language's structure, rules, and semantics.

The Right Hemisphere

The right hemisphere, on the other hand, is responsible for language learning in different ways. It is associated with the comprehension of subtle meanings, intonation, and emotional aspects of language. It also assists learners in the interpretation of non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions and gestures, which are crucial for effective communication. Moreover, it facilitates a learner in the acquisition of a language's rhythm and melody. When a learner has an active right hemisphere, he or she is more sensitive to acoustic differences in sound.
