Giải Tiếng Anh 11 Unit 1: 1C Listening  Bài 1 
SPEAKING Work in pairs. Look at the photo. What do you think this app does? 
Why might some people need it? 
(Làm việc theo cặp. Nhìn vào bức hình. Bạn nghĩ ứng dụng này làm gì? Tại sao một 
số người có thể cần nó?)  Gợi ý đáp án 
I think this app relates to mealtimes. I can see the kid's smartphone and parent’s 
smartphone. This app may prevent children from using devices while eating breakfast, 
lunch or dinner. In my opinion, some people, especially some parents, need it because 
nowadays, children always glue their eyes to the screen all the time, even when they 
are eating. Therefore, most parents use this app to help their kids have quality time  when they are having meals.  Bài 2 
SPEAKING Read the text and check your answer to exercise 1. Do you think the 
app would increase or decrease the number of arguments in your family? Why? 
(Đọc văn bản và kiểm tra câu trả lời của bạn cho bài tập 1. Bạn nghĩ ứng dụng này sẽ 
làm tăng hay giảm số lần cãi vã trong gia đình bạn? Tại sao?)  Tablets for dinner? 
An evening meal for the family was once part of everyday life in British homes. But 
this tradition has almost disappeared. Some people blame technology: children and 
teenagers are so addicted to their phones and tablets that they do not want to stop 
playing with them, even at mealtimes. This causes a lot of arguments in families. But 
now, parents can get a free app called DinnerTime, which locks their children’s 
devices at certain times of the day and tight. During those times, the children are 
unable to access messages, games, or the internet. In theory, this means that parents 
and children can spend more time together, eating and chatting. But will it lead to 
happier families or more family arguments?  Gợi ý đáp án 
- What do you think this app does?     
=> “Parents can get a free app called DinnerTime, which locks their children’s devices 
at certain times of the day and tight. During those times, the children are unable to 
access messages, games, or the internet.” 
I think the app would decrease the number of arguments in your family. At first, this 
can cause a lot of arguments because the children aren't used to using no devices while 
eating. However, after one or two weeks, the children can have a new healthy habit 
without smartphones or tablets during mealtimes. After that, they will feel free to 
share everything with their family and like to have good moments when the family are 
eating together. Therefore, everyone can understand each other more clearly, enjoying 
quality time and even the number of arguments would decrease.  Bài 3

Listening Strategy (Chiến lược nghe)      
Sometimes, the words alone do not fully express the speaker's intention. You need to 
pay attention to the tone of voice as well. For example, an urgent tone of voice 
suggests that the speaker is giving a warning.   Bài 5

1. 'Thanks. Andy. That's really helpful.’ (first grateful, then sarcastic) 
2. 'Our train leaves in ten minutes.’ (first calm, then urgent) 
3. 'You and your sister always argued during dinner.' (first nostalgic, then accusing)  Bài 6

Sharing a family computer (dùng chung máy tính gia đình) 
Too much time spent on social media and games (dành quá nhiều thời gian vào mạng  xã hội hoặc games) 
What to eat (nên ăn gì)  Gợi ý đáp án 
- In my opinion, too much time spent on social media and games is the most likely to 
cause arguments in the family. For example, I have one younger brother, he is 14 
years old, and he really likes playing on his smartphone. He can spend all of his free 
time using smartphone for entertainment and games. As a result, he ignores his 
studying and my mom and my dad have to force him to study a lot but he doesn't like 
it. This makes my parents angry and unsatisfied. They always shout at my brother, and 
he is becoming more and more aggressive. Therefore, my family always has an  argument about this problem. 
- Some topics that cause arguments in families that I can think of are: what to see on 
TV, where to hang out, what kind of household appliance to buy, how to use money…
