Woman: Okay. Thank you. And what’s your policy reference, please?
Man: Is that the long number with the letters in the middle?

Woman: Okay, right. Yes. I’ve got your details on the computer now. So can I confirm your address? (Q2) According to our records, you live at 102 Market street in North Bridge. [Theo hồ sơ của chúng tôi, bạn sống ở số 102 đường Market ở North Bridge] Is that right?
Man: That’s correct.
Woman: All right. Good. And the last thing I need to check. What’s the best phone number to get you on? Is it the number you’re calling on now?
Man: No, I’m calling from work. Let me give you my mobile phone number. (Q3) It’s 01866925. [Là 01866925]
Woman: Thanks. So, can you give me a description of the damage? When did the incident occur?
Man: Sunday, the 17 June.
Woman: I see. And what was the cause of the incident? How did the damage happen?
Man: Right. No one was home at the time, which was fortunate, I suppose. (Q4) There was a big storm and I guess it blew down one of the trees at the back of our garden and it smashed through the window in our daughter’s bedroom. [Có một cơn bão lớn và tôi đoán nó đã thổi bay một trong những cái cây ở phía sau khu vườn của chúng tôi và đập vỡ cửa sổ trong phòng ngủ con gái chúng tôi]
Woman: Yes. A good thing you were all out. So have you got the window fixed?

Woman: Is there anything else?
Man: Yes. Because the window was broken, The rain got in and what’s really annoying is that when was it? (Q6) Just last month (= new), we went shopping and bought a carpet. [Mới tháng trước, chúng tôi đã đi mua sắm và mua một tấm thảm] We’d only had it for a couple of weeks, and it got soaked. We had to remove it.
Woman: Oh, dear. Are there any other items you’d like to claim for?
Man: Yes. (Q7) I suppose we should be grateful that the rain didn’t reach her computer, but when the tree came through the window, it tore a hole through (= torn) the curtain that was hanging there. [Tôi cho rằng chúng tôi nên biết ơn vì mưa đã không chạm đến được máy tính của con bé, nhưng khi cái cây đổ xuyên cửa sổ, nó đã xé toạc tấm rèm treo ở đó]

Woman: Yes
Man: We’ve had some repairs done already. For a door, we can’t open
Woman: To the back of the house?
Man: (Q8) No, it’s for the garage. [Không, nó dành cho nhà để xe] The tree hit that as well.
Woman: Okay. So, have you contacted a professional builder yet?
Man: Yes. It’s the same builder we always use. Do you want his name?
Woman: Yes, please.
Man: Okay. (Q9) It’s Stephen Honeywell. [Là Stephen Honeywell] H-O-N-E-Y-W-E-L-L.
Woman: All right. Now, apart from damage to the house itself, what else do you think the builder will be looking at? Because we’re going to need photographs.
Man: Oh, yes. (Q10) Well, he’ll be putting up a fence for us between our house and the neighbors, because the one we’ve got now was smashed by the tree (= damaged). [Chà, anh ấy sẽ dựng một hàng rào giữa nhà của chúng tôi và những người hàng xóm bởi vì cái mà chúng tôi có bây giờ đã bị cây đổ vào] So I’ll take some pictures (= photographs) before he does the work.
Woman: Please do that. And then you can send them in with your claim.

Okay, there are six tracks on your list, and your group can decide which track it wants to take. Each of them are about the same distance, but very different in other respects. The first one, North Face. That’s one of my favorite tracks. It takes you high up into the mountains and the view is stunning. (Q15) But we’ve just heard that the maintenance work is taking place, unfortunately, and so people aren’t allowed to use it at the moment. (=> C) [Nhưng chúng tôi vừa nghe nói rằng công việc bảo trì đang diễn ra, thật không may, và vì vậy mọi người không được phép sử dụng nó vào lúc này] But the other tracks are very interesting, too. (Q16) You’ve got Blue River, which I’d thoroughly recommend, but you need to keep an eye out when you’re walking that track, it’s easier to slip on the rocks when you’re crossing the river, and you do have to cross it several times. (=> B) [Chúng ta có Blue River, nơi mà tôi muốn giới thiệu kỹ lưỡng, nhưng bạn cần chú ý khi đi trên con đường đó, bạn sẽ dễ trượt chân trên đá hơn khi băng qua sông và bạn phải vượt qua nó nhiều lần] Then this Pioneer track, which takes you through some native forest. (Q17) You follow the track for about a day and a half, and then it comes to an end at a town called Richmond. It starts up again on the other side of town, and the rest of the route is along the coast. (=> D) [Bạn đi theo con đường trong khoảng một ngày rưỡi, rồi nó kết thúc tại một thị trấn tên là Richmond. Nó bắt đầu lại ở phía bên kia của thị trấn, và phần còn lại của tuyến đường là dọc theo bờ biển.] You might also consider Edgewater. You get to see some beautiful Lakes and bird life. The only thing I’d say, though, is that (Q18) it’s very popular, and you’ll probably come across a number of other groups out walking on the way. (=> A) [nó rất nổi tiếng và có thể bạn sẽ bắt gặp một số nhóm khác đang đi bộ trên đường] Number five on the list is the Murray track. That one is certainly quite challenging. (Q19) There are some very steep sections, and at some point you’d be walking right next to the cliff edge on a very narrow path. (=> B) [Có một số đoạn rất dốc, và đến một lúc nào đó bạn sẽ đi bộ ngay sát mép vách đá trên một con đường rất hẹp] That’s definitely a track where caution needs to be taken. Great views, though. And last, but not least, is Lakeside Track, which, as the name suggests, takes you along one of our biggest lakes. It has some terrific camping spots, but that also means (Q20) it’s a bit of a tourist attraction, and you could well be sharing the track with many other visitors. (=> A) [đó là một điểm thu hút khách du lịch và bạn có thể sẽ cùng đi với nhiều du khách khác] Anyway, it’s up to you which track you decide to take.

Kiara and Finn agree that the articles they read on the future of work … A. mainly reflect the concerns of older employees. B. refer to the end of a traditional career path. C. tend to exaggerate the likely changes. | Finn: But anyway, the focus was always the changing nature of jobs. How is it all happening so quickly? Kiara: Exactly. Every single article said we can forget the way things used to happen. Like you started out as an apprentice and then you stayed in the same company for years. That’s over.

What point does Kiara make about the phrase ‘job title’? A. It is no longer relevant in modern times. B. It shows colleagues how to interact with each other. C. It will only apply to people higher up in an organisation. | Kiara: I think for some people, a job title used to define them. It was their identity. They worked their way up from the bottom, and eventually, one day they became manager or head of department. And even in their social circle outside of work, they wanted other people to know how long they’d been in a job. Tutor: And now? Kiara: It looks like we’re moving away from the term job title. [Có vẻ như chúng ta đang rời xa thuật ngữ chức danh công việc] |
DỊCH NGHĨA | |
Kiara đưa ra quan điểm gì về cụm từ ‘chức danh công việc’? A. Nó không còn phù hợp trong thời hiện đại. B. Nó chỉ cho các đồng nghiệp cách tương tác với nhau. C. Nó sẽ chỉ áp dụng cho những người cao hơn trong một tổ chức. |

What issue affecting young employees is Finn most concerned about? A. lack of job security B. income inequality C. poor chances of promotion | Tutor: Finn, do you think that’s a big issue for young people? Finn: Having to move on once the projects finished? Not necessarily. It can be interesting to work in different places. People aren’t always looking for a job that pays really well. It’s more about gaining experience and creating a network. Tutor: So money is not important? Finn: Well, I haven’t started work myself, but according to all the articles I read, it’s more about the different rates of pay. If you have a good salary, you probably have enough to enjoy life. But if you’re only earning the minimum wage, how do you get by? That’s my biggest worry.

Tutor: So let’s focus on the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs. To what extent do you think it’ll help people in their professions or be a threat?
Finn: I was reading about architects using AI in the future. The writer was saying that one day architects will use holograms, then their clients could see a three dimensional house rather than just looking at a flat plan.
Kiara: (Q27) As soon as one architect starts to use AI, or the rival architects (= compete with one another) in the same area will have to use AI too. (=> B) [Ngay khi một kiến trúc sư bắt đầu sử dụng AI, hoặc các kiến trúc sư đối thủ trong cùng lĩnh vực cũng sẽ phải sử dụng AI] That’s the only way they’ll manage to keep their clients.
Finn: True. How about doctors? Imagine if they had to give urgent medical attention to someone, but they weren’t qualified to do it (= tasks they have not trained for). (Q28) Hospital specialists could use AI and virtual reality to guide a doctor through (= enable them to do), like a complex procedure. (=> F) [Các chuyên gia bệnh viện có thể sử dụng AI và thực tế ảo để hướng dẫn bác sĩ thực hiện những điều đó, ví dụ như một quy trình phức tạp]
Kiara: Yes, in an emergency situation, AI could really make the difference.
Finn: And what about the law?
Kiara: (Q29) Well, the lawyers I know are always anxious about the amount of work they have to get through, but AI could help them with a whole lot of routine tasks, and that should make some of that anxiety go away (reduce the level of stress). (=> C) [Chà, các luật sư mà tôi biết luôn lo lắng về khối lượng công việc họ phải hoàn thành, nhưng AI có thể giúp họ thực hiện rất nhiều công việc thường ngày và điều đó sẽ khiến phần nào sự lo lắng đó biến mất]
Finn: Yes, it probably could. Also, if you’re a sports referee, that could be a job that’s affected.
Tutor: In what way?
Finn: Using AI would mean there were no mistakes. It would know for sure if a ball was out, for example.
Kiara: And you can’t accuse AI of bias?
Finn: No.
Kiara: (Q30) I can imagine that one day I might do away with the need for human referees (= jobs disappearing) (=> D) [Tôi có thể tưởng tượng rằng một ngày nào đó tôi có thể loại bỏ nhu cầu về trọng tài con người]
Finn: I think so, too.
Tutor: All right, let’s move on to our next point.

Today, I’m going to talk about an incredible event in the history of Canada, the Klondike Gold Rush. Between 1896 and 1899, over 100000 people set out to see gold in the Klondike region, a remote area in Northwestern Canada. Only 4000 people were actually successful.
Let’s start by considering the journey people have to take in order to reach the Klondike River and start looking for gold. For most gold seekers, their journey began in Alaska in a town on the coast called Skagway. From Skagway, one option was to take the White Pass Trail through the mountains. It probably looked easy enough at the beginning of the trail, but rocks made it difficult to make progress. (Q31) On top of this, the men and their horses got stuck in the thick mud that covered long sections of the trail (= along the way). [Trên hết, người và ngựa bị mắc kẹt trong lớp bùn dày bao phủ những đoạn dài của con đường mòn] The other option was the Chilkoot Trail. Now, although this trail was only about 35 miles long, it took about three months for the gold seekers to cover this distance. (Q32) This is because the trail was incredibly steep and people had to make the same trip multiple times in order to transport their equipment. [Điều này là do đường mòn cực kỳ dốc và mọi người phải thực hiện cùng một chuyến đi nhiều lần để vận chuyển thiết bị của họ] Most people really had very little idea about how difficult the journey was going to be. So although 100,000 may have set out on those two trails, only about 300 got to the end. So yes, the majority gave up. Often they were suffering from starvation or disease. (Q33) They also came to the terrible realization (= the fear of) that their journey was likely to end in failure, and so they turned around. [Họ cũng nhận ra một điều khủng khiếp rằng cuộc hành trình của họ có khả năng kết thúc trong thất bại, và vì vậy họ đã quay lại] Anyway, for those gold seekers who did continue, they eventually reached Lake Bennet. They might have expected that their journey was going to become easier at this point. But no. Because the lake was frozen over, many people had to wait until spring before they could continue their journey. (Q34) In the meantime, a tent was the only protection they had from the cold. [Trong khi đó, một chiếc lều là sự bảo vệ duy nhất khỏi cái lạnh mà họ có được] While they were waiting, people cut down trees and made boats. Once the ice melted, they could sail across the lake and start down the Yukon River again. This wasn’t the end of their troubles. Once they reached a point of the river called Miles Canyon, things became very dangerous indeed. Many boats were destroyed in the rapids. (Q35) In order to proceed down the Yukon River, the gold seekers needed to employ (= necessary to hire) a real sailor, someone who could steer their boats and get through the canyon safely. [Để xuôi dòng sông Yukon, những người tìm vàng cần thuê một thủy thủ thực thụ, người có thể lái thuyền của họ và đi qua hẻm núi một cách an toàn] From here on, the worst was over, and the gold seekers could sail to a place called Dorsen at the mouth of the Klondike River.
So earlier on, I mentioned the gold seekers needed to make multiple trips up and down the two trails. This is because they had to transport an enormous amount of equipment. This equipment was set out on a very long list. (Q36) It was actually the police who gave gold seekers the list. [Thực ra chính cảnh sát đã đưa danh sách cho những người tìm vàng] Since they knew how unprepared many people were for the journey. People were obliged to take enough supplies to lessen a year. So the list included clothing like boots and warm winter coats. There was also the food the gold seekers required. (Q37) Perhaps items like tea weren’t too hard to carry, but 400 pounds of flour would have been very heavy indeed. [Có lẽ những món đồ như trà không quá khó để mang theo, nhưng 181 cân bột thì thực sự rất nặng] The gold seekers had to take a lot of tools as well. Everything they needed for digging, for building and so on. Things like rope were essential and could be packed away without too much difficulty. (Q38) But imagine having to carry two or three (= several) buckets with you. [Nhưng hãy tưởng tượng bạn phải mang theo hai hoặc ba cái xô bên mình] All these things were compulsory. So some people became very successful because of the gold rush and not because they had actually found gold themselves. Those who were business-minded had so many opportunities, they sold the supplies that the gold seekers needed. They established hotels and so on. And then there were people like Jack London. London was one of the gold seekers that actually survived the terrible journey, but he didn’t find much gold. Still, he was inspired to write. (Q39) Through his vivid description, his readers could share the feeling of (= a sense of) adventure even from the comfort of their armchair. [Thông qua mô tả sống động của anh ấy, độc giả của anh ấy có thể chia sẻ cảm giác phiêu lưu ngay cả khi ngồi thoải mái trên chiếc ghế bành của họ] Finally, it wasn’t just men that tried to seek their fame and fortune, many women also headed up the trails. Among them were Annie Hall Strong and Emma Kelly. In the US and in other parts of Canada, ordinary citizens were keen to read about life in the Klondike. (Q40) Working for different (= contributed to various) newspapers, Haul and Kelly often described their first hand experience of danger and hardship. [Làm việc cho các tờ báo khác nhau , Haul và Kelly thường mô tả trải nghiệm đầu tiên của họ về sự nguy hiểm và khó khăn] Another thing that needs to be discussed…..
