(Đưa ra lời cảnh báo)
(Đáp lại lời cảnh báo) - Thanks for (the) warning.
- I wouldn’t … if I were you.
(Cảm ơn lời cảnh báo.)
(Tôi sẽ không … nếu tôi là bạn.)
- I’ll be (more) careful (next time).
- Watch out (for something)! (Tôi sẽ cẩn thận (hơn và lần tới).) (Cẩn thận!) - Thanks. - I (must) warn you … (Cảm ơn.)

A: Hey, have you seen me burning some rubbish here?
B: Yeah, I see that. But do you know that burning waste like that can be dangerous to
people's health and the environment? A: Really? How come?
B: When you burn waste like that, it releases harmful toxins into the air, which can
cause respiratory problems and other health issues. It can also harm the environment and pollute the air and soil.
A: Oh, I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know. I'll stop doing it and find a proper way to dispose of my waste. 2.
B: Hey, I'm building a campfire. Do you want to join me?
A: Sure, but be careful. Starting a fire in a forest can be risky, especially if it's dry and windy.
B: Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
A: But even a small spark can start a big forest fire, which can be difficult to control
and cause a lot of damage. It's also not safe for our health, as the smoke can cause respiratory problems.
B: I see your point. Maybe we should find a safer spot to make a fire or just use a portable stove instead.
A: Yes, that's a better idea. We can enjoy our time outdoors without putting ourselves and the environment at risk. CLIL Bài 1

REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FARMING
Farming provides us with the food that we eat every day. But farming activities also
have a strong warming impact on the global temperature. The good news is that
experts have already started thinking about how to reduce it.
Raising farm animals like cows, goats, and sheep makes the planet hotter. There are
billions of them and they release methane, a greenhouse gas that is much more
dangerous than carbon dioxide. That is why scientists are developing methane-
catching face masks for cows. They are intended to reduce methane emissions by up to 50 per cent per cow.
Another farming activity that heats the atmosphere is growing rice. According to
research, emissions from rice farms have the same warming effect as about 600 coal
plants. Flooded rice fields also make it easier for soil bacteria to produce greenhouse
gases. New farming methods have allowed rice to grow well in drier fields, limit the
amount of greenhouse gases, use less water, and produce better crops.
In addition, land-use increases the global temperature. Plants and trees use CO2 to
grow and store large amounts of carbon underground. Cutting down or burning forests
to create farm fields and land for feeding animals releases tonnes of carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Luckily, many countries
and world leaders have agreed to protect the forests and end deforestation.
In short, there are some positive signs that farmers can meet the environmental
challenges. However, although the impact of farming on the global temperature has
been reduced, there is still much to do. Gợi ý đáp án Good: 1, 4 Bad: 2, 3, 5 Bài 2
Work in groups. Discuss the following questions.
(Làm việc nhóm. Thảo luận các câu hỏi sau.)
What farming activities in Viet Nam do you think have negative impact on the global
temperature? What do you think are the alternatives to those activities?
(Bạn nghĩ những hoạt động nông nghiệp nào ở Việt Nam có tác động tiêu cực đến
nhiệt độ toàn cầu? Bạn nghĩ những lựa chọn thay thế cho những hoạt động đó là gì?) Gợi ý đáp án
There are several farming activities in Vietnam that can have a negative impact on the
global temperature, including:
• Rice cultivation: Rice cultivation is a major source of greenhouse gas
emissions, primarily due to the production of methane during the
decomposition of organic matter in flooded rice paddies.
• Livestock production: Livestock production, particularly from cattle and
buffalo, is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions through the
production of methane from enteric fermentation and manure management.
• Pesticide use: Pesticide use in agriculture can lead to the emission of
greenhouse gases, particularly nitrous oxide, as well as contribute to soil degradation.
• Deforestation: Deforestation for agriculture, particularly for expanding rice
paddies or livestock grazing areas, can contribute to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
To address these negative impacts, some alternatives that can be considered include:
• Sustainable rice cultivation: Alternative rice cultivation methods, such as
aerobic rice cultivation or the use of alternate wetting and drying methods, can
significantly reduce methane emissions from rice paddies.
• Improved livestock management: Improved livestock management practices,
such as better feeding and manure management, can reduce the emissions of
methane and other greenhouse gases.
• Organic farming: Organic farming practices, including the use of natural pest
control methods and composting, can reduce the use of pesticides and
fertilizers, as well as promote soil health.
• Forest conservation and reforestation: Conservation and reforestation efforts
can help to reduce the release of carbon dioxide from deforestation and
promote carbon sequestration in new forest areas.
Overall, a shift towards sustainable agriculture practices and land use management can
help to mitigate the negative impacts of farming activities on the global temperature.
