The Mekong River is believed to be formed 17 million years ago. It is the world’s 12th longest river covering 4.345 kilometres from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to the Mekong Delta. Though the Mekong River runs through 6 countries, three-fourths of the drainage area of the Mekong lies within the four countries: Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Viet Nam.

The Mekong River originates from the Sanjianyuang in the Tibetan Plateau, where a national nature reserve has been established. From the Tibetan Plateau, it passes throughTibet’s eastern part to Yunnan’s southeastern section and the Three Parallel Rivers Area. This area is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Mekong River lies between Salween River on the west and Yangtze River on the east. From this area, the river runs for about 10 kilometers on the border between Myanmar and China before reaching the tripoint of Myanmar, China and Laos. It continues to flow southwestwards along the border of Myanmar and Laos for about 100 kilometres until it gets to a second tripoint known as Golden Triangle belonging to Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. The river then mainly flows through Laos for over 1200 kilometres before crossing Cambodia, where it is joined by the Sap River. To the end of its lower course the Mekong River enters Viet Nam where it is named Cuu Long River and finally empties into the sea through a network of distributaries.

Mặc dù sông Mekong chảy qua 6 quốc gia nhưng 3/4 diện tích thoát nước của sông Mekong nằm trong 4 quốc gia: Lào, Thái Lan, Campuchia và Việt Nam.

Sông Mekong bắt nguồn từ Sanjianyuang ở cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nơi đã thành lập khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên quốc gia.

The Mekong River

The Mekong River, which is over 4,000 kilometres long, is the world's twelfth longest river and the Southeast Asia's longest transboundary river. The Mekong started round 17 million years ago due to increased erosion from monsoon precipitation. Its original name is Mae Nam Khong. In Lao language, Mae Nam (Mother of Waters) means large rivers, and Khong is a proper name.

From Tibetan Plateau the Mekong runs through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam. It not only is rich in plant and fish diversity but also provides very important transport links in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam. The Mekong River plays an important role in the life of the people in Southeast Asia, providing a means for people to access natural resources, social facilities such as schools, health services. Passenger transport along the river makes a nice contribution to tourism development.

The Mekong River is also a major trade route in Southeast Asia. A lot of cargo is transported along this river every day, and the cargo ranges from petroleum, coal to fertilisers and farming products. However, though the river brings about great income and different job opportunities, the navigation potential of this river is not fully exploited. The geographical features greatly vary along its length. For instance, the upper part of this river in Laos contains a number of physical obstacles and turbulent sections and only experienced skippers and boats that are small in size can safely navigate this part of the river. Improvements are expected to make the river passable for much larger cargo boats, which will develop both regional and international exchange of goods.

b. How to score points

c. The benefits of the sport

d. The required sportswear

f. Gold medallists in SEA Games 31

SEPAK TAKRAW

Sepak Takraw is a popular sports game in South East Asia, whose name comes from two languages. Sepak means kick in Malay, and takraw means ball in Thai. The sport is believed to come from a traditional Chinese game.

Played on a court with a rattan ball, Sepak Takraw is basically a cross between volleyball and football. With three people on each side, players have to keep the ball in play using their feet, chest, head, or knee. Committing a foul will offer a point to the opposing team. The team with 21 points on a set will win that set. The team who wins the first two sets is the winner.

Sepak Takraw helps develop excellent eye-foot coordination, leg strength and flexibility.

Thailand won the most gold medals in Sepak Takraw at SEA Games 31.

KARATE

Karate, the Japanese word for 'empty hand', is believed to have begun long ago on Okinawa, an island of Japan.

In karate, practitioners learn to breathe, move, and stand in a certain way. They are told to breathe out from their bellies and also learn to let out a big shout as they move.

A white uniform called a gi and a coloured belt are required. Practitioners start with a white belt and train hard until they get a black one.

Karate can provide a number of benefits to those who practice it. In addition to teaching concepts such as respect and discipline, it can help build confidence and self-defence skills.

SEA Games 31 saw the victory of the Vietnamese karate team with 7 gold medals.

VOVINAM – VIET VO DAO

Vovinam, one of the most popular Vietnamese martial arts, was created by Grandmaster Nguyen Loc (1912-1960) in 1936.

Vovinam involves the use of different body parts such as hands, elbows, legs, and knees. Practitioners also learn to perform with long sticks, swords, knives, and fans.

Not only does Vovinam help strengthen practitioners' mind and body but it also encourages a healthy lifestyle. Vovinam is also known for its practicality, as it can be used in a wide range of self-defense situations.

Vovinam competitions have been held in the regional sports event of South East Asia since 2011.

At SEA Games 31, Viet Nam ranked first in Vovinam with 6 gold medals.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The poaching crisis wiping out Africa's elephants is costing the continent's economies millions in lost tourism revenue, according to a new study. Researchers looked at visitor and elephant data across 25 countries, and modeled financial losses from fewer visitors in protected areas due to the illegal wildlife trade, which has caused elephant numbers to plummet by more than 100,000 in the last decade. (A)

The study team combined visitor numbers across 164 protected areas in 25 countries in forest and savannah elephants, and elephant population data from 2009 to 2013, to reach a “per elephant" value in terms of tourism income.

They concluded that Africa was most likely losing $26m in tourism revenue a year. (B) Around $9m of that is lost from tourists' direct spending, such as staying at hotels and buying crafts, with the rest through indirect value in the economy such as farmers and other suppliers supporting the tourist industry.

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that in most cases the revenue losses were higher than paying for stronger anti-poaching measures to keep elephant populations stable. (C) Dr. Robin Naidoo, the paper's lead author and , senior conservation wildlife scientist at WWF and his team found. In the case of central Africa's forest elephants, which are harder for tourists to see and therefore attract fewer visitors, the costs of protecting them exceed the benefits from tourism. Demand from south-east Asia has seen the price of ivory triple since 2009 and it is estimated that one elephant is killed every 15 minutes. (D) Corruption, a lack of resources, and, most importantly, increasingly sophisticated poachers have hamstrung African countries' efforts to stem the trade.

Naidoo said that the research was not suggesting economic issues should be the only consideration when protecting elephants, but framing the poaching crisis as a financial one could motivate African governments and communities.

“It gives an additional reason for some groups of people, who may not necessarily be motivated by intrinsic reasons for conversation, to engage with biodiversity conservation. It makes it clear to them that it's not just in the best interests of the world to conserve this stuff, but tangible reasons for a whole different group," he said.

four great reasons for high school students to volunteer

Volunteer work presents a great opportunity for teenagers to prepare for the future, as well as to improve their communities. In addition to boosting socializing skills and awareness of local organizations and social issues, high school students who volunteer often may have an advantage over their peers when headed off to college.

1. Gaining New Skills

With each new volunteer activity, students gain new skills. The skills seem to be basic or trivial at the time of training, but may provide fundamental grounds for future success. For example, For example, by managing the receipt, sorting and distributing the donations from community, school students might learn how to use spreadsheets to keep track of inventory. These skills are a great foundation for a job in management, accounting, or running a small business.

2. Giving Time

One of the most charitable acts anyone can do is donate their time and talents. Students who are busy with after-school sports or work to help support their families and still make time to volunteer on evenings or weekends show their outstanding character and resolve to make a difference. High school students may help to mentor younger ones or to assist with one-time special events held on weekends.

3. Showing Responsibility

Just like going to a job, committing to a volunteer position shows a student's responsibility. High school students should get involved in volunteer programs relating to their hobbies in order to naturally build responsibility. For example, those who love to read can find volunteer opportunities with a local library and those who enjoy sports can coach athletics at an after-school program for children.

4. Adding to the Resume

If a high school student's pre-college resume is limited to summer employment at a local restaurant or a cafe. it might be time to add a few lines. Commitment to community volunteer work over a long time shows that a student is willing to work for something without monetary compensation, including a college internship or apprenticeship, which may be a requirement of college programs.

A. high school students

B. students' communities

C. both students and communities

D. none of them

2. The word 'trivial' in paragraph 2 most closely means ________

A. important

B. significant

C. of little importance

D. fundamental

3. According to the passage, what job will the students' skill of using spreadsheets be useful to?

A. a manager

B. an accountant

C. a business owner

D. all of them

4. Why should busy students make their time to volunteer?

A. to demonstrate their excellent quality

B. to show their outstanding outcomes

C. to support their families

D. to develop their talents

5. According to the passage, what volunteer programs help to develop students' responsibility?

A. The programs are related to their future jobs

B. The programs are related to their interests

C. The programs are available after school

D. The programs are held by their local library

6. What volunteer work may be suitable for a student who likes sports?

A. working in a local library

B. joining a football team in their school

C. being a sport instructor at a primary school

D. coaching a football program for children after school hours

7. The phrase 'it might be time to add a few lines' in paragraph 5 most closely means________

A. Some more lines should be added in your resume

B. Much volunteer work must be included in your resume

C. You might spend more time to write your resume

D. Your resume should include your experience in volunteering

8. What may be a requirement of college programs for their future students?

A. being able to work over time

B. agreeing to work as a paid apprentice

USAID IN Vietnam

Assisting persons with disabilities has long been one of the top priorities for the U.S. Government in Vietnam. Since 1989, with the establishment of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Leahy War Victims Fund (LWVF), USAID is working to increase the availability of and access to a wide variety of programs benefiting people with disabilities in conflict-affected countries.

In Vietnam, U. S. assistance has helped address medical needs and support the inclusion of Vietnamese with disabilities into all aspects of society. The U.S. Government has contributed more than $80 million in assistance to persons with disabilities, has improved the lives of more than 30,000 persons with disabilities, and has strengthened the Government of Vietnam’s capacity to provide high quality services to those in need. USAID has provided rehabilitation services for tens of thousands of persons with disabilities, education and vocational training including information technology, job placement, supporting parent associations to expand the advocacy for disability issues, and support for the development of legal codes to improve physical accessibility for persons with disabilities in public buildings.

USAID'S work supporting persons with disabilities is also viewed by many as contributing to successful US-Vietnam cooperation to overcome the painful past shared by the two countries. Program activities work in three areas: policy advocacy and coordination, direct assistance including occupational and physical therapy and providing assistive devices, and health systems strengthening, to provide quality disabilities-related care and treatment. Persons with disabilities have been more readily integrated into society by improving their access to health, education and social services. USAID programs support local governments in implementing the national disability law and the U.N. Convention on the rights of Persons with disabilities, and influencing public policies that affect the lives of persons with disabilities.
