TRAVEL AGENT:   Good morning. World Tours. My name is Jamie. How can I help you?

ANDREA:         Good morning. I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA. Could you send me a brochure?

TRAVEL AGENT:   Of course. Could you I have your name please?

ANDREA:         Andrea Brown. (Example)

TRAVEL AGENT:   Thank you. And can I ask you where you heard about World Tours? From a friend? Or did you see an advert somewhere? 

ANDREA:         (Q2) No, I read about you in the newspaper. (Không, tôi đọc về bên bạn trên báo) TRAVEL AGENT:   OK, I’ll get the brochures in the post to you but can I give you some information over the phone. What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?

ANDREA:         I’m interested in going to California with my family. I’ve got two children and we want to hire a car.

TRAVEL AGENT:   OK. We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California. (Q3) The first one begins in Los Angeles and there’s plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there. (Chuyến đầu tiên bắt đầu ở Los Angeles và có nhiều thời gian để ghé thăm một số công viên giải trí ở đó)

ANDREA:         That’s something on my children’s list so I’d want to include that. 

TRAVEL AGENT:   Good. Then you drive to San Francisco. From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite. 

ANDREA:         (Q4) I don’t like the idea of staying in a tent (Tôi không thích cái ý tưởng ở trong lều). It’d be too hot.

TRAVEL AGENT:   No, it continues to Santa Monica where most people like to stop and do some shopping.

ANDREA:         We have enough of that at home so that doesn’t interest us.

TRAVEL AGENT:   OK. Well you could go straight on to San Diego(Bạn có thể đi thẳng đến San Diego)

ANDREA:         (Q6) That’s good for beaches isn’t it? (Đó là nơi lý tưởng cho những bãi biển đúng không?)

TRAVEL AGENT:   That’s right, that’s a good place to relax and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.

ANDREA:         I don’t think so. We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.

TRAVEL AGENT:   Yes, it’s almost a hundred pounds cheaper(Q9) It’s £429 per person, which is a good deal. (£429 mỗi người, một cái giá hợp lý)

ANDREA:         So that covers accommodation and car hire. What about flights? 

TRAVEL AGENT:   They aren’t included. But (Q10) these hotels offer (= includes) dinner in the price. (những khách sạn này sẽ cung cấp  bữa tối, chi phí đã được bao gồm trong giá phòng)

Q11 – 12. Which TWO facilities at the leisure club have recently been improved?

A. the gym

B. the tracks

C. the indoor pool

D. the outdoor pool

E. the sports training for children

Our greatest asset is probably our swimming pool which at 25 metres isn’t Olympic-sized, but now we’ve expanded it to eight lanes, it’s much wider(Hồ bơi ở độ cao 25 mét không phải là kích thước của Olympic, nhưng hiện chúng tôi đã mở rộng nó lên tám làn, và nó trở nên rộng hơn nhiều.) This means there are rarely more than a couple of people at a time in each lane. Unfortunately, there isn’t space for an outdoor pool here (Rất tiếc là ở đây không có không gian cho bể bơi ngoài trời) but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable, which means you can enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer days.

Our recently refurbished fitness suite (phòng thể hình được tân trang lại gần đây) has all the latest exercise equipment including ten new running machines, and a wide range of weight-training machines. 

DỊCH NGHĨA

Q11 – 12. HAI cơ sở vật chất nào tại câu lạc bộ giải trí gần đây đã được cải thiện?

A. phòng tập thể dục

B. các bài hát

C. hồ bơi trong nhà

D. hồ bơi ngoài trời

Giải thích đáp án

 
 

One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them. This starts on day one with your personal assessment. You are asked to fill in a questionnaire (Q13) giving details (= describe) of any health problems (cung cấp thông tin chi tiết về bất kì vấn đề sức khỏe nào). One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you.

The trainer will then (Q14) take you through (= explained to you) the safety rules (giải thích cho bạn các quy định về an toàn) for using the equipment in the fitness suite. During your next exercise session a personal trainer will work with you to make sure you understand these. It’s very important to do this because we really do want to avoid having any sports injuries. There’s a lot more to looking after yourself than simply lifting weights!

At the end of the personal assessment, (Q15) the trainer will draw up a plan, outlining what you should try to achieve within a six-week period (người huấn luyện sẽ lập một kế hoạch, vạch ra những gì bạn nên cố gắng đạt được trong khoảng thời gian sáu tuần). This will then be reviewed at the end of the six weeks.

Now, I’ll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available. (Q16) All members must pay a joining fee of £90 (Tất cả các thành viên phải trả phí gia nhập £90) in addition to the rates for the monthly membership fees. (Q17) Gold membership entitles you to free entry at all LP Clubs (Thẻ thành viên Vàng cho phép bạn vào cửa miễn phí tại tất cả các Câu lạc bộ LP). There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns so if you travel a lot will be a great advantage. Individual gold membership costs £50 a month and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.

Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them to use the club during the day and so (Q18) LP gives booking preferences (= given priority) to Premier members at peak times (LP ưu tiên việc đặt phòng cho các thành viên Premier vào lúc cao điểm). This means you will find it easier to book the sessions at times that suit you. Reciprocal arrangements with other LP Clubs are available to Premier members. Premier membership is for individuals only, but (Q19) you will be sent passes (= bring) for guests every month (bạn có thể dẫn một vài khách khác đến câu lạc bộ vào mỗi tháng). The monthly fee is £65.

You don’t have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club. We provide robes and hairdryers in the changing rooms, but (Q20) it’s very important to remember (= take with them) your photo card (cần nhớ mang theo ảnh thẻ) because you won’t be able to get in without it.

For people who aren’t working during the day then …

Giải thích đáp án

Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family. (Q31) One in ten black bears is actually born with a white (= colour) coat, which is the result of a special (= uncommon) gene that surfaces in a few (Cứ mười con gấu đen thì có một con thực sự được sinh ra với bộ lông màu trắng, đó là kết quả của một loại gen đặc biệt xuất hiện ở một vài con). Local people have named it ‘the spirit bear’. And (Q32) according to the legends of these communities (= Local people), its snowy fur brings with it a special (= unusual) power (theo truyền thuyết về những loài này, bộ lông tuyết của nó mang trong mình một sức mạnh đặc biệt). Because of this, it has always been highly regarded by them – so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else. (Q33) It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area. (Đó là cách họ bảo vệ nó khi có người lạ đến khu vực này) 

The white bear’s habitat is quite interesting. The bear’s strong relationship with the old-growth rainforest is a complex one. The white bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways. For example, (Q34) the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent (= roots stop) erosion of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams (những cây cổ thụ có bộ rễ cực kỳ dài, giúp chống xói mòn đất dọc theo những bờ suối có nhiều cá). Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear’s main food source. In return, the bear’s feeding habits nurture the forest. As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms, from birds to insects and more.

(Q35) Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few (= a small number) islands (Ngày nay, gấu linh hồn sống ở ngoài khơi tỉnh Columbia của Anh trên một vài hòn đảo). There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than two hundred of these white bears remain. The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment – in other words, their ecosystem.

The greatest threat to the bear’s existence is the loss of its habitat. Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees (= deforestation). In addition, (Q36) they have built (= construction) roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds, and many hibernation sites have also been lost (họ đã xây dựng những con đường, điều này làm đứt đoạn những khu vực mà gấu thường kiếm ăn và nhiều chỗ ngủ đông của chúng cũng dần biến mất). The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. To make matters worse, (Q37) the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit (= unrestricted) on fishing at the moment. (số lượng cá hồi trong những con suối đó đang giảm vì không có giới hạn pháp lý nào về việc đánh bắt cá vào thời điểm hiện tại)

All these influences have a negative impact on the spirit (Q38) bear’s very existence, which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low(điều này càng trở nên mong manh hơn bởi thực tế là khả năng sinh sản giữa những con gấu này luôn ở mức thấp một cách đáng thất vọng)

And so, what’s the situation going forward?
