I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put-upon member of society-a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I’m convinced that things are being run only to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a new motto for so–called “service” organizations – Staff Before Service.

How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there weren’t enough staff on duty to man all the service grills or checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashiers or counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that unshrouding all their cash registers at any one time would increase overheads. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grills to be occupied “at times when demand is low.”

It’s the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been whittled away), we just have to put up with it. There’s also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been phased out in the interests of “efficiency” (i.e. profits) and replaced by coin-eating machines which dispense everything from larger to laxatives. Not to mention the creeping menace of the tea–making kit in your room: a kettle with assortment of teabags, plastic milk cartons and limp sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I don't, especially when I am paying for “service”.

Can it he halted, this erosion of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a nuisance? I fervently hope so because it’s happening, sadly, in all walks of life.

Our only hope if to hammer home our indignation whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, resurrect that other, older slogan-and Take Our elsewhere.

8. The writer feels that nowadays a customer is

A. the recipient of privileged treatment

C. classified by society as inferior

B. unworthy of proper consideration

D. the victim of modern organizations

9. According to the writer, long queues at counters are caused by

    A. difficulties in recruiting staff

C. staff being made redundant

B. in adequate staffing arrangements

D. lack of co-operation staff

10. Service organizations claim that keeping the checkout counters manned would result in

 

A. a rise in the price for providing services

C. insignificant benefits for the customers

B. demands by cashiers for more money

D. the need to purchase expensive equipment

Write an essay between 100-150 words: What are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous?

Fame seems to appeal to everyone due to its attraction and glamour. Many prefer to be a famous one or a celebrity to change their life. However, everything has its both side. This essay will discuss the pros and cons of fame.

To begin with, they get a special treatment everywhere they go. Celebrities get special tables at restaurants, best sit at theatres and VIP treatment at clubs or events. They get free parking at hotels or they cars are guarded at events.

On the other hand, celebrities have no private, that make they are constantly judged. They are judged for the clothes they wear, their bodies, make-up, personalities and cars that they drive. Newspapers, magazines, blogs and social networks you can always find the rude, nasty, insulting, and derogatory and lies about celebrity’s daily routine. It’s like we forget that they’re human beings.

Fame carries also worry about your own safety and the safety of your family. There is always a danger that a crazy fan may try to kidnap or kill you or your children, so it is necessary to employ bodyguards.

All in all, fame may be nice but not an easy thing to live with. You have money but you do not feel safe, you have friends and fans but you can never be sure if they like you for who you are or for your money.

To begin with, they get a special treatment everywhere they go. Bổ sung thêm trong câu này luôn nha : They can also get good medical care ỏ excellent entertainment. For example, we can treated by well-qualified doctors n high qualify hospitals. Celebrities get special tables at restaurants, best sit at theatres-> theaters and VIP treatment at clubs or events. They get free parking at hotels or they cars are guarded at events. -> Ko đc hợp lí nên bỏ bớt đi.

* Thức ra đã nói đến advantages và disavantages của being famous thì bn phải liệt kê đủ tức là bn nói 3 pros thì cx khoảng 3-4 cons chứ ko đc 1 pros mà 3-4 cons đc.Nếu như thế nó gọi là kết cấu chưa phù hợp.

Read the following passage about London's Heathrow Airport and write A, B, C or D for questions 1-10.

A. Passport Control

If you are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of a country in the European Community, you must fill out a special form called a landing card before your passport is examined. This card should be given to you during the flight. However, you can also obtain one inside the terminal building.

When you enter the terminal building from your aircraft, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure that you are in the right channel when you reach PASSPORT CONTROL. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports and a second channel marked "Other Passports.

B. Getting your Luggage

If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft hold, follow the BAGGAGE RECLAIM signs after your passport has been examined. If you have only hand luggage, pass through the baggage reclaim area and follow the CUSTOMS sign.

C. Customs

All passengers arriving from a country outside Britain and Northern Ireland are allowed to bring with them a certain quality of duty free items. You can get information about how much you can bring by reading the signs marked Duty Free Allowances in the baggage reclaim area.

There are three Customs Channels: the Red Channel, the Green Channel and the Blue Channel. If you have something to declare, or if you are not sure about your Duty Free Allowance, you must go through the Red Channel. Passengers arriving from outside the European Community with nothing to declare must go through the Green Channel. Passengers arriving from the countries in the European Community with nothing to declare must go through the Blue Channel.

Please note that Customs Officers may stop you at any time and examine your luggage as you go through the Green or Blue Channel.

D. Transit Passengers

If you are immediately transferring to another flight at Heathrow that is not bound for a destination in Britain or Northern Ireland, you are a transit passenger and do not have to go through the procedures above.

All transit passengers should follow the black and yellow TRANSFERS signs Airport staff at the Transfer Desk and at other places in the terminal will direct you to your departure gate.

We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.

Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.

When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.

And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?

It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.

Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

We are all around computers. Computers play an important play in our day to day lives, like we are very much dependent them for doing many things including giving users the ability to quickly and easily store and process data. Since the invention of computer they have evolved in terms of increased computing power and decreased size. Computers are used in many sectors like Education, Health and Medicine, Financial Institutions, Transport System, E-Commerce, Defence etc.

Computers connect us to the world of unknown. They help us gathering knowledge and huge information from the internet and storing it. Computers are multitasking and accurate enough to be used almost anywhere and everywhere including banks. Computer provide security from destructive forces and from unwanted action from unauthorized users like cyber attack or access attack.

Now computer is not just a calculating device, it has become much more than that. One of the main advantages of computer is its incredible speed, which helps human to complete their task in few seconds. All the operations can be performed very fast just because of its speed else wise it takes a long time to perform the task.

A load of rubbish

Line

In the UK, people are finally starting to listen to the message about recycling. British families now recycle about 22% of their waste. Only for five years ago, the figure was 10%. That’s good news for the environment- but there’s a lot more than to do. Some other European countries, like Germany and Holland, already recycle about 60% of their waste and that’s the goal for the UK.

Households in England which produce 25 million tons of waste a year. More than half of this is garden waste, paper, cardboard and kitchen waste – with which people could recycle. They could also recycle plastic, wood, glass and aluminum cans. In fact, if everybody in the UK was recycled all of their drink cans, there would be 14 million fewer rubbish bins of waste each year.

Recycling isn’t the only way to reduce the amount of rubbish what we throw away. More than 40% of the waste in our bins is packaging from shopping. If we changed the way to we shop, we could easily reduce the amount of waste. For example, street markets and small shops often use less packaging than supermarkets. And being of course, if we grow our own vegetables, there wouldn’t be any packaging at all.
