Reading comprehension
Read a text about skiing and answer the questions that follow.
SKIING
Skiing has become a way of life for many people. From the moment the first snowflake falls until the spring thaw, skiers put their skies on their cars and head for the slopes. There are many reasons behind the popularity of this winter sport.
Skiing is a true family sport that can be enjoyed by all people, whether 3 or 93 year old. Being able to descend a hill, to turn at will, and enjoy nature at its loveliest is a thrill for all age groups.
Skiing is also interesting because it provides a variety of experiences. Snow conditions change hourly as the temperature and weather conditions change during the day. Moreover, every trail is different. Rarely does on pass over the same spot twice.
Improvements in ski equipment, clothing, and ski areas have made the sport more pleasurable, comfortable, and available. Warm, light, down-filled clothing has replaced layers of heavy sweaters. Ski equipment made with modern materials has made skis and poles lighter, more flexible, and suited to people of all ages and abilities. The availability of skiing has also been improved by snow-making equipment. Even in areas of the country that have very little snowfall, snow can be made if the temperature is below 32 degrees.
For many people, skiing is an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the out-of-doors, to challenge their physical abilities, and finally, to simply have fun. It is a sport enjoyed world-wide and appears to be gaining in popularity constantly.
What is the main topic of the text?
Name three things that make skiing fun for all ages?
Why do snow conditions change?
What kind of clothing do skiers wear today?
Why is ski equipment better today?
How can people in areas that have little snowfall make skiing available?
What do you think the work "thaw" in the first paragraph means?
Suggested answers:
The reasons why skiing is a popular sport.
Being able to descend a hill, to turn at will and enjoy nature at its loveliest is a thrill for all age groups.
Snow conditions change as the temperature and weather conditions change throughout the day.
Skiers today wear warm, down-filled clothes.
Modern materials have made today's skis lighter, more flexible and suited to people of all ages and abilities.
Snow-making equipment is used in areas with little snowfall.
The word "thaw" means "the melting of snow in the spring".

The festival is held to commemorate King An Duong Vuong, the first king of Au Lac. During the festival, people of the 12 hamlets of the village perform a procession to pay homage to King An Duong Vuong. Many people are dressed in colorful costumes and take part in various activities: Tru and Cheo singing, swinging, rice cooking competition, etc... It's an exciting and glamorous festival.

And then I joined lines of people dancing happily along the roads. Being tired, I sat by the beach and enjoyed a singing performance. After that I had dinner in a seafood restaurant.

Supplements
1. Extra Reading
FAT TUESDAY
Fat Tuesday is Mardi Gras, the festival New Orleans, Louisiana, is famous for. "Gras" is French for fat and "Mardi" is French for Tuesday.
The annual festivities start on January 6, the Twelfth Night Feast of the Epiphany, when the three kings are supposed to have visited the Christ Child, and build to a climax on Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, which always occurs on the day before Ash Wednesday. The parties and parades will continue until Lent begins at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday. 
Mardi Gras is a legal holiday in New Orleans. It is scheduled to occur 46 days before Easter. Since the actual date Easter occurs on changes yearly, Mardi Gras can happen on any Tuesday between February 3 and March 9.
For two centuries it has been an annual event in New Orleans, except during the two World Wars.
2. Extra writing

PRESENTATION 2 (5)
Review Cleft sentence (Refer to Unit 12)
Introduction to cleft sentences
A cleft sentence is a sentence formed by a main clause and a subordinate clause, which together express a meaning that could be expressed by a simple sentence.
Clefts typically put a particular constituent into focus. This focusing is often accompanied by a special intonation. In English, a cleft sentence can be constructed as follows:
It + conjugated form ofto be + X + subordinate clause
It is a dummy pronoun and X is usually a noun phrase (although it can also be a prepositional phrase, and in some cases an adjectival or adverbial phrase). The focus is on X, or else on the subordinate clause or some element of it. 
For example:
It is Joey that we're looking for.
It's money that I love.
It was from John that she heard the news.
It was meeting Jim that really started me off on this new line of work. 
Cleft sentences are used to help us focus on a particular part of the sentence and to emphasize what we want to say by introducing it or building up to it with a kind of relative clause.
Cleft sentences are particularly useful in writing where we cannot use intonation for purposes of focus or emphasis, but they are also frequently used in speech.

Review on Either... or... and Neither... nor... structures.
Structure:
Either
+ noun +
or
+ plural noun + plural verb.
Neither
nor
Either
+ noun +
or
+ singular noun + singular verb.
When either and neither are followed by or and nor, the verb may be singular or plural, depending on whether the noun following or and nor is singular or plural. If or or nor appears alone, the same rule applies. 
E.g: 
- Either my sister or l am going to come and give you a hand.
- Neither my parents nor my sister agrees with my
brother's decision.
The structures between either... or... and neither... nor ...must be parallel. 
E.g:
