Have you, or has someone you know, experienced any of the problems mentioned in this article?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Sample 1:

Yes, I experienced peer pressure last year when my friends wanted me to spend more time playing online games instead of studying. They said I was missing out on all the fun and that studying too much was boring. I felt torn between wanting to fit in and doing well at school. My grades started to drop, and I became distant from my family. Fortunately, my parents noticed and talked to me about it. I realized I needed to find a balance and choose friends who support my goals. Now I still play games but in moderation, and I've found friends who value education too.

Sample 2:

Yes, my classmate experienced peer pressure last year. Her friends often went to expensive coffee shops and bought branded clothes. She felt pressured to do the same to fit in, even though her family couldn't afford it. She started asking her parents for more pocket money and felt bad when they couldn't give her enough. This affected her relationship with her family and made her feel depressed. Later, she realized that true friends accept you for who you are, not what you wear or where you go. She found new friends who think the same way and is much happier now.

IV. Speaking

Phần Speaking Unit 9 giúp học sinh chia sẻ và thảo luận về những trải nghiệm thực tế liên quan đến áp lực bạn bè, đồng thời luyện tập cách phản hồi phù hợp trong các tình huống bị gây áp lực.

1. Order the examples of peer pressure below from 1 (most powerful) to 6 (least powerful).

Đây là bài tập mang tính chủ quan, học sinh có thể sắp xếp theo quan điểm cá nhân. Dưới đây là một gợi ý tham khảo:

1 - A

2 - F

3 - D

4 - E

5 - C

6 - B

2. Work in pairs. Talk about your experiences of peer pressure. Use the following guiding questions.

Gợi ý trả lời:

Student A: Which example of peer pressure affects you most?

Student B: I think peer pressure to get good grades at school affects me the most. In my class, there's a lot of competition, and I always feel like I need to study harder to keep up with my friends. Sometimes it's overwhelming because I want to do well not just for myself, but also to maintain my reputation among my peers.

Student A: I understand. That can be really stressful. Which one affects you the least?

Student B: The pressure to be fashionable affects me the least. I'm comfortable with my own style and I don't really care much about following trends. I believe being yourself is more important than trying to fit in with what's considered "cool" at the moment.

Student A: That's a positive attitude! Which examples do you think are positive peer pressure?

Student B: I believe peer pressure to get good grades and to be good at sports can be positive. When my friends study hard, it motivates me to work harder too. Similarly, when friends encourage each other to stay active and healthy through sports, that's definitely a good thing. It's all about having the right mindset and not letting it become unhealthy competition.

3. Work in groups. Read the situations below and think of some possible responses. Provide reasons for each answer.

Gợi ý trả lời:

Tình huống 1: Your friend wants to skip a test, so he/she asks you to pretend that you are his/her parent(s) and write a letter to his/her teacher asking permission to be absent from school.

Response: "I can't do that. It's dishonest and could get both of us in trouble. Why don't we study together instead? I can help you prepare for the test."

→ Reason: Giúp bạn gian lận là sai. Nếu bị phát hiện, cả hai có thể bị đình chỉ. Tình bạn thực sự là giúp nhau thành công một cách trung thực, không phải tạo điều kiện cho sự không trung thực.

Tình huống 2: Your friend has just got the latest smartphone. He/She makes fun of your old smartphone and says that you should buy a new one.

Response: "My phone works fine for what I need. A phone is just a tool and I'd rather save money for more important things like my education. l, not a status symbol."

→ Reason: Tiết kiệm tiền cho việc học tập quan trọng hơn việc theo xu hướng. Điện thoại vẫn hoạt động tốt thì không cần thay.

Tình huống 3: Your friend is getting good grades in English. He/She wants you to join his/her study group so that you can also improve your English.

Response: "That's really kind of you! I'd love to join. Studying together could really help me improve my grammar and vocabulary. When does your group meet?"

→ Reason: Đây là áp lực tích cực. Học nhóm với bạn giỏi giúp cải thiện kết quả học tập thông qua chia sẻ kiến thức và tạo động lực học tập.

Tình huống 4: Your friend is skipping classes frequently. He/She says that every teen does it sometimes, and you should do it as well.

Response: "Just because others do it doesn't make it right. We are here to learn and skipping classes will affect my grades. I'm also worried that you might fall behind."

→ Reason: Bỏ học là vi phạm nội quy và bỏ lỡ bài học quan trọng. Điều này ảnh hưởng xấu đến điểm số và có thể bị kỷ luật.

4. Report your answers to the whole class. Vote for the most interesting responses.

Học sinh trình bày câu trả lời trước lớp và bình chọn cho những phản hồi thú vị và thuyết phục nhất.

4. Work in groups. Discuss the following question.

What types of bullying have you experienced or seen happening to people around you?

Gợi ý trả lời:

I have seen all four types of bullying at my school and online.

Physical bullying sometimes happens in the schoolyard. I've seen some older students pushing or hitting younger students to take their money or belongings. This makes the victims very scared to go to school.

Verbal bullying is very common. Some students call others bad names or make fun of their appearance. For example, my classmate was often teased about wearing glasses. He felt very sad and didn't want to talk to anyone.

Social bullying also happens a lot. Some groups of students deliberately ignore certain classmates and don't let them join group activities. They also spread rumors about others. One girl in my class became very lonely because nobody wanted to be her friend.

Cyberbullying is becoming more serious. My friend was a victim of body shaming on social media. Some people posted mean comments about her weight. She felt very upset and deleted her account. Another classmate received threatening messages from anonymous accounts.

I think all types of bullying are serious and can hurt people deeply. We should speak up when we see bullying and help the victims feel safe.

VI. Writing

Phần Writing Unit 9 hướng dẫn học sinh viết một đề xuất (proposal) cho chiến dịch trường học chống bắt nạt trực tuyến (cyberbullying). Đây là dạng văn bản thực dụng quan trọng, yêu cầu học sinh trình bày ý tưởng rõ ràng, logic và thuyết phục.

1. You are planning a school campaign against cyberbullying. Work in groups to discuss these questions.

Gợi ý trả lời:

1. When and where should the campaign take place? How long should it last?

The campaign should take place at school during the second semester, from March to May. It should last for three months. We can hold activities in the school hall for big events and in classrooms for smaller group discussions. This gives us enough time to organize different activities and help students understand the issue better.

2. Who should participate in it? (You can choose more than one and add your ideas.)

✓ A. Everyone who is interested. (Tất cả những ai quan tâm.)

✓ B. Victims of cyberbullying.

✓ C. Parents.

✓ D. Teachers.

✓ E. School counselors

All these groups should participate because each plays an important role. Students need to learn about cyberbullying, victims can share their experiences if they want to, parents need to understand how to help their children, teachers can guide students and spot problems, and school counselors can provide professional support.

3. What activities should the campaign include? (You can choose more than one and add your ideas.)

✓ A. Giving talks about cyberbullying.

✓ B. Providing students with resources where they can find information on cyberbullying and how to deal with it.

✓ C. Inviting students to share experiences of cyberbullying.

✓ D. Informing students of the school anti-bullying policies.

✓ E. Showing cyberbullying videos to promote discussion about the issue.

✓ F. Organizing poster competitions and workshops on digital safety.

These activities should work together to educate students. Expert talks provide knowledge, resources give students places to find help, sharing sessions create understanding, policy information shows consequences, videos make the issue real, and creative activities keep students engaged.

4. What should be the main goals of the campaign?

The main goals should be:

• To raise awareness about cyberbullying and its effects
• To teach students how to stay safe online
• To create a supportive environment where students feel safe to report problems
• To reduce cyberbullying incidents at school

2. Write a proposal for the campaign (150–180 words) to your head teacher. Use the ideas in 1 and the outline with useful expressions below to help you.
