Routines can be part of an organised and predictable home environment, which helps children
and teenagers feel safe and looked after. And a predictable family life can also help children cope during
development changes like puberty or life events like the birth of a new child, divorce, illness or a house
move. Also, routines built around having fun or spending time together develop a sense of belonging and
strengthen family relationships. For example, your routine might include things like reading a story

10. together before bed each night, sharing regular family meals, or having a kick with your child before
soccer practice every week.
Having chores as part of family routines helps children and teenagers develop a sense of
responsibility and some basic skills like time management. These are what children can use for life. And
when children can do their parts of the routine with less help or supervision, it also helps them become
more independent.
Routines can help younger children to learn healthy habits, like brushing their teeth, taking
medicine regularly, doing physical activity, or washing their hands after using the toilet. This means that
routines can be good for children’s health. For example, children who wash their hands more regularly
might be less likely to get colds and other common illnesses. Also, routines can reduce stress, and lower
stress is good for children’s immune systems.

Task 3. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T), false (F) or not
given (NG).
If the term “family values” sounds too traditional or outdated for you, you’re in for a big surprise.
Every family has core values. These values are clear through the way families behave at home, how they
interact with their community, and how parents raise their children.
By reflecting upon and clearly defining your family values, you’ll have a stronger, healthier
relationship with your relatives and set your children up for success. Family values are guiding principles
that inform how you and your family make decisions and live your lives. They outline what is important
to your family and what you are all trying to get. If you have children, family values reflect how you want
to raise them and what kind of adults you’d like to see them become. Typically, family values refer to the
nuclear family (parents and children), but they can apply to extended family or chosen family as well.
Family values are informed by one’s own upbringing, beliefs, political philosophy, religious
beliefs, morals, geography, culture, and socioeconomic circumstances. For instance, let’s look at two
different families: One lives in the Philippines, and another lives in the U.S. Both families value
respecting elders. For the family in the Philippines, living out that value means they live with three
generations under one roof (children, parents, and grandparents). It is expected that children will care for
elders in their old age. For the family in the U.S., living out that value means listening to the opinions of
those older than you and following their advice, when it makes sense to do so. Though these two families
share the same value, their behaviours are different based on their local culture and upbringing.

Hi Minh,
I want to share with you one of the routines my family follow. Every evening after dinner, we
have a family cleaning routine. We do this around 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and a bit later on
weekends. During this time, each family member has specific tasks. My mom takes care of the
kitchen and dishes, my dad vacuums and tidies up the living room, and I clean my room and
arrange my study materials. Then we all come together to sweep the common areas. It may
sound like a lot of work, but it’s surprisingly enjoyable. We turn on some music and make it a
fun activity. It’s great to see the house clean and organised as well as to finish something as a
team. Besides, having a tidy space helps us relax after a long day. Overall, this routine not only
keeps our home neat but also strengthens my family bonds.
Does your family have any special routine? I am eager to know more about your family. Look
forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Chào Minh,
Mình muốn chia sẻ với bạn một trong những thói quen mà gia đình mình hay làm. Mỗi tối sau bữa tối,
gia đình mình có thói quen dọn dẹp. Gia đình mình làm việc này vào khoảng 7:30 tối vào các ngày
trong tuần và muộn hơn một chút vào cuối tuần. Trong thời gian này, mỗi thành viên trong gia đình
đều có những nhiệm vụ cụ thể. Mẹ mình lo bếp núc và bát đĩa, bố mình hút bụi và dọn dẹp phòng
khách, còn mình dọn phòng và sắp xếp tài liệu học tập. Sau đó, cả nhà cùng nhau quét dọn các khu
vực chung. Nghe có vẻ như rất nhiều công việc, nhưng nó cực kì thú vị. Gia đình mình bật một chút
nhạc và khiến nó trở thành một hoạt động thú vị. Thật tuyệt khi thấy ngôi nhà sạch sẽ và ngăn nắp,
cũng như hoàn thành một thứ gì đó cùng nhau. Bên cạnh đó, có một không gian ngăn nắp giúp gia
đình mình thư giãn sau một ngày dài. Nhìn chung, thói quen này không chỉ giữ cho nhà cửa gọn gàng
mà còn củng cố mối quan hệ gia đình của mình.
Gia đình bạn có thói quen đặc biệt nào không? Mình háo hức muốn biết thêm về gia đình bạn. Hi v

SCRIPT:
Speaker A
Hi everyone, I’m Mai. I live with my parents and my little brother, Minh. We’re a close-knit
family. My mom, a nurse, taught me the value of caring for others. She always encourages me to be kind
towards everyone around me. Also, she is always willing to listen to my everyday stories, no matter how
busy she is. My dad is a teacher who inspires my love for learning. He assists me with my homework,
especially the difficult assignments. More importantly, he teaches me to question things, to not just accept
what’s given, but to try to understand why it is so. About my little brother, Nam, he’s always there to
cheer me up when I’m down, ready to tell a joke or do silly things just to make me smile. Together, they
make me feel loved, help me grow, and motivate me to be the best version of myself.
Speaker B
Hi! I’m Hung. I come from a small family. It’s just me, my little brother Binh, and our parents.
My dad is a mechanic, so he always encourages me to understand how things work. He taught me to fix a
bicycle when I was ten. It’s a way to learn about problem-solving. About my mom, she gives me
emotional support. She’s always there to listen when I’m stressed about school or friendship issues. Then
there’s my brother, Binh. Even though he’s younger, he teaches me a lot about patience and kindness.
He’s got a big heart and always does things for others, even when it’s not easy. My family provide me
with the support I need and help me deal with both practical and emotional challenges in life.
VII. SPEAKING
Task 1. Answer the following questions.
1. Do you do housework at home?
Yes, of course. I like to share housework with my parents. We clean our house once a
week. I do the washing-up, clean the kitchen, and do the laundry every day. Besides, I usually
help my mom to prepare lunch or dinner for our family. Sharing housework is a good way for
me to learn life skills, and develop independence and responsibility. Also, we have a fun time
when doing things together, helping to strengthen my family relationship.
Vâng tất nhiên. Tôi thích chia sẻ việc nhà với bố mẹ. Chúng tôi thường dọn nhà một lần một
tuần. Tôi thường rửa bát, dọn dẹp nhà bếp và giặt giũ hàng ngày. Bên cạnh đó, tôi thường giúp mẹ
chuẩn bị bữa trưa hoặc bữa tối cho gia đình. Chia sẻ công việc nhà là một cách tốt để tôi học các kỹ
năng sống và phát huy tính độc lập và tinh thần trách nhiệm. Ngoài ra, chúng tôi có khoảng thời gian
vui vẻ khi làm mọi việc cùng nhau, giúp củng cố mối quan hệ gia đình của tôi.
2. Which household chores do you like and dislike doing?
I am into tidying up my bedroom. I find it great to make my room organised and neat.
Having a tidy private space helps me feel more relaxed and study better. About the chore I hate,
it is washing clothes. It is a boring and time-consuming task. You know, sometimes I have to
spend about one hour doing it.
Tôi thích dọn dẹp phòng ngủ của mình. Tôi thấy thật tuyệt khi làm cho căn phòng của mình
ngăn nắp và gọn gàng. Có một không gian riêng ngăn nắp giúp tôi cảm thấy thư giãn hơn và học tập
tốt hơn. Về công việc nhà mà tôi không thích, đó là giặt quần áo. Đó là một công việc nhàm chán và
tốn thời gian. Bạn biết đấy, đôi khi tôi phải dành khoảng một giờ để làm việc đó.
Task 2. Talk about the benefits or drawbacks of doing the housework for children in 1-2 minutes.
Sharing housework brings numerous benefits to children. First of all, when participating in
housework, children can learn how to take responsibility. By doing simple chores like making their
13

lOMoARcPSD|55101079

15. bed or tidying up their room, they can understand their roles in their family and feel proud of
completing tasks given to them. Secondly, housework teaches children valuable life skills. They can
learn essential life skills such as cooking, cleaning and organising, which are necessary for their future
life. Also, they become more independent and confident when doing the chores by themselves. Lastly,
housework becomes an opportunity for creating family bonds. Both parents and children can have a
great time when sharing housework as a team. Children also learn to appreciate the effort to keep a
tidy home environment. In short, doing household chores is beneficial to children in several ways.
Parents should encourage children to share the chores to prepare them for a better future.
Việc chia sẻ việc nhà mang lại vô số lợi ích cho trẻ. Thứ nhất, khi tham gia làm việc nhà, trẻ
học về tinh thần trách nhiệm. Bằng việc làm những công việc nhà đơn giản như dọn giường hoặc dọn
dẹp phòng của mình, trẻ có thể hiểu về vai trò của mình trong gia đình và cảm thấy tự hào khi hoàn
thành nhiệm vụ được giao. Thứ hai, việc nhà dạy cho trẻ những kỹ năng sống quý giá. Trẻ có thể học
các kỹ năng sống thiết yếu như nấu ăn, dọn dẹp và sắp xếp, những kỹ năng này cần thiết cho cuộc
sống tương lai của trẻ. Ngoài ra, trẻ trở nên độc lập và tự tin hơn khi tự mình làm việc nhà. Cuối
cùng, việc nhà là một cơ hội để tạo ra sự gắn kết gia đình. Cả bố mẹ và con cái đều có thể có khoảng
thời gian tuyệt vời khi chia sẻ công việc nhà như một đội. Trẻ em cũng hiểu được giá trị của sự nỗ lực
để giữ cho nhà cửa ngăn nắp. Nói tóm lại, làm việc nhà mang lại nhiều lợi ích cho trẻ em. Bố mẹ nên
khuyến khích trẻ chia sẻ công việc nhà để chuẩn bị cho một tương lai tốt đẹp hơn.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the following questions.
The fast pace of modern day family life can make it easy to forget that simply just spending time
with our children is really important. Our time is one of the greatest things we can give them. There are
some reasons why you should make quality time a priority:
Firstly, spending time together builds children’s self-esteem. Children who spend time with their
parents participating in activities together build a positive sense of self-worth. When children feel that
they are valued by their parents, they feel more positive about themselves. Family activities don’t have to
be expensive trips out to be meaningful, the important part is just being together. You could go for a bike
ride or play a game together.
Families who share everyday activities together form strong, emotional bonds. Studies have found
that families who enjoy group activities together share a stronger emotional bond as well as an ability to
adapt well to situations as a family. You could share your favourite hobbies, sports, books, movies or
other favourite activities.
When you spend time with your children, you are developing an environment for open
communication. Good communication is important for your children to feel comfortable with talking
about anything. Asking how their day has gone can make a big difference.
Children learn by example. If you are setting a good example for them by spending quality time
together, they are more likely to adopt those behaviours in other relationships in their lives. Simple things
like playing games together will help them understand more about interacting with others as well as teach
them things like sharing and kindness.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the following questions.
Children who help out around the house with family chores will grow as a person. Confidence can
improve as your children learn and use their abilities to achieve a chore goal. Additionally, children can
learn to feel proud of their work when they are reminded that their chores help everyone in the family.
Working around the house and tackling new chores also teaches children life skills that will help them
stay on task and be productive for the rest of their lives.
When children take part in the family chore load, there are benefits for everyone. If chores are
divided equally, there will be more time for parents and children to spend time together once everyone’s
tasks are completed. Structure and routine can also help parents build their child’s self-control and, in
turn, reduces power struggles with parents. Children will begin feeling more successful and confident as
they master new chores, and everyone will feel proud of the work that’s done.
It’s important to keep a few things in mind when assigning chores to your kids. First and foremost,
keep chores age and developmentally appropriate and be specific with instructions when working with
younger children. Consistency and patience helps children take on new chore responsibilities, so stick
with the family plan!
Chores benefit children and parents alike. They are an important way for you to help children feel
like they are contributing members of the family household. This, in turn, helps them to learn a sense of
belonging and the value of being a contributing member of a group. This value can grow as they do. So,
whether through a school project, neighbourhood clean-up, showing up to soccer practice on time, or
serving lunch at the local soup kitchen, all of us benefit from children taking part in chores.
