Ex 15: Read the text carefully then decide whether the following statements are true
(T) or false (F).
Many students listen to music while they are studying, and say that it helps them learn. Many

36
parents and teachers say that music is just distracting, and that students are better studying in
silence. Who is right?
In a study, some scientists asked three groups of students to listen to a piece of music by
Mozart or a relaxation tape for ten minutes, or just sit in silence for ten minutes. The students
then did a “spatial reasoning” test (a test about remembering shapes and imagining looking
at objects from different directions), and the ones who had listened to the Mozart did better
in the test.
Taking part in musical activities and learning to play an instrument can improve verbal
memory (the ability to remember words). The longer the training lasts, the better the
improvement in the memory. So, there’s no excuse to give up the piano lessons!
1. Many students think it’s helpful to listen to music when studying.
2. Teachers say music helps students to better concentrate.
3. The students who had listened to Mozart did better in the spatial reasoning test.
4. Listening to Mozart music will not make you smarter.

Modern graffiti began in big cities in the United States in the 1970s. One of the first
“taggers” was a teenager called Demetrius. He wrote his tag TAKI 183 on walls and in
subway stations in New York. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their
own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York.
Then, some teenagers started writing their tags with aerosol paint. Their tags were bigger and
more colourful. Aerosol paint graffiti became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s and
appeared on
trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists
started painting pictures.
In some countries, writing or painting on walls is a crime and street artists can have
problems with the police. In other countries, artists can draw and paint in certain places. For
example, in Taiwan, there are “graffiti zones” where artists can paint on walls. In São Paulo
in Brazil, street artists can paint pictures on walls and houses. Their pictures are colourful
and beautiful. Some tourists visit São Paulo just to see the street art!

Once being a basic food of farmers and poor families in Vietnam, com tam or broken rice is
now a favourite dish of most Vietnamese. It is said that the best broken rice can be found in
Saigon. When you come to Saigon, you should try this dish at least one time and you will not
regret it.
Com tam literally means broken rice. Broken rice originally consisted of grains which were
broken during the harvesting and cleaning of rice. In the past, as most people preferred to eat
the long, whole grain rice, broken rice grains were difficult to sell and usually eaten by the
Vietnamese working class because of the cheap price. Nowadays, often favored over long
grain rice for its unique flavour and texture, broken rice is one of the best-loved fares in
Vietnam.
Local broken rice eateries can practically be found on every street in Saigon. A broken rice
dish is served with many beautiful colours from grilled pork chop with multi-flavour to
steamed egg, shredded pork skin, pickles, vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers ... and
especially sweet fish sauce that is the spirit of the dish.
