When people are going abroad, they must do many things.They

must get passports and visas. Most often, they should go to the
Police to get passports. They should go to the embassy of foreign
countries to get visas. They should also become familiar with their
destination before their trip. They can do that by buying books,
reading booklets, or visiting websites. This may take their time.
But it can help them a lot. They may buy tickets and book hotels
online. Or they may ask a travel agency to do that for them. When
everything is ready, they can leave the country safely and enjoy
their trips.

As a tourist, we should be careful about our behavior in a foreign

country. We must not break any rule if we want to have a good
and safe trip. We may not like a part of the host’s culture, but we
should be polite to people and their values. We should not say bad
things about their food, dresses, or ceremonies. We can talk to
other people and try to understand them. We should also protect
4
nature and the historical sites of that country. We must not hurt
LESSON

animals or plants. We should not write anything on buildings. Our

good behavior can give a good image of our country to other people.

 A. Read the following texts.

An endangered language is a language that has very few speakers.

Nowadays, many languages are losing their native speakers. When a
language dies, the knowledge and culture disappear with it. A lot of
endangered languages are in Australia and South America. Some of
them are in Asia and Africa. The number of live languages of the world
is around 7000, and many of them may not exist in the future. Many
researchers are now trying to protect endangered languages. This can
save lots of information and cultural values of people all around the
world.

There are many uncountable words for food in English. Native speakers
often use words such as ‘a bag of, ‘two slices of’, or ‘a piece of’ with
uncountable nouns. This usually happens when they go shopping. They
may ask for two bottles of water, a bag of sugar, a loaf of bread, or
1 two kilos of meat. In a coffee shop, they may order a cup of tea, a piece
of cake, or a glass of juice. If a foreign learner uses uncountable words
LESSON

wrongly, English speakers may not understand them well. So when you
learn English, be very careful about this important point.

 A. Read the following texts.

Technology has influenced the lives of people in this century. Working

with computers and mobile phones has changed people’s habits and
lifestyles. Some people use their laptops and especially their mobile
phones everywhere for no good reason. Some of them have not read a
book for months. Some have not visited their relatives for a long time.
Some even have not slept well or have not eaten properly for a long time.
Some of these people have quit good habits like doing daily exercises or
attending social events. They have chosen an unhealthy lifestyle. To live
longer, they need to rethink the way they live, work, and use technology.

Technology has helped the researchers and scientists of our time. New
medicines and medical inventions have saved the lives of many people.
They have let people have a happy life and live longer. New medicines
such as anti-cancer drugs and new antibiotics have cured many patients.
Some technological inventions have helped doctors to check people’s
2 health condition. They have found keys to the secrets of the human
body. New technologies have helped doctors to understand how diseases
LESSON

develop. They have found ways to fight and stop diseases in their early
stages. Technology, as some people may think, is not a bad thing at all.
The way we use technology, is important.

become a good artist. Most people like art, but some do not
understand it. If you do not see any special thing in a pottery,
