My grandmother lives on a small farm. Every summer, my brother and I stay with her for two weeks. We love it there, but the first day is always difficult. There is no WiFi and no TV.

So we couldn't go swimming in the lake, we couldn't hike to the mountain, and we couldn't even make a campfire. We played cards inside the tent for three days.

Text Β· The School Science Fair
Last year, my school organised a Science Fair for the first time. Students from grades four, five and six could join. I'm in grade six, so I decided to take part. I worked with my best friend, Huy, for three weeks. We chose to make a model of a volcano because we wanted to show how lava erupts.
The project wasn't easy. We had to read many books about volcanoes, buy materials, and practise our presentation. On the day of the fair, I was very nervous. There were more than fifty people in the audience. However, when we started our presentation, I felt confident because we had practised so many times.
We didn't win the first prize, but we got a special award for the most creative project. Next year, if I have more time, I will definitely join again with a better idea!

Article Β· Why Reading Matters
Many children today spend more time on smartphones than on books. However, reading is still one of the most important skills for young minds. When you read a good book, you do not just learn new words. You step into another world, meet new characters, and see things from different points of view.
Scientists have found that children who read for just 20 minutes a day do better in school, have bigger vocabularies, and can concentrate for longer. Reading also helps with feelings: when you read about a character who is sad or happy, you learn to understand those feelings in real life, too.
So the next time you have free time, try opening a book instead of your phone. Your brain Β· and your heart Β· will thank you.

Dr Linh, a children's book author, talks about her work. Listen twice.
Plays left: 2
Narrator: You will hear Dr Linh, a children's book author, speaking at a school event.
Dr Linh: Good morning, students! People often ask me: "Why do you write for children, not adults?" Well, when I write for adults, they already know what life is. But when I write for children, I have the chance to show them something NEW for the first time Β· a new idea, a new feeling, a new hope. That's magical.
My first book took me five years to finish. I wrote in the morning before my children woke up. Some days I wrote only one sentence. Some days I wrote ten pages. I never gave up because I believed in the story. Today, my books are in 12 languages, and I receive letters from children in Japan, Brazil, and even Iceland. That's the best reward Β· not money, but knowing that a child somewhere is reading my words and smiling.

Opinion Β· Should Schools Ban Mobile Phones?
Every morning, I see the same thing at the school gate: students with their eyes glued to a phone. Many principals now believe we should ban phones during school hours. I strongly agree Β· and so should every parent.
First, research from the University of London shows that students score 6% higher on exams when phones are banned. Second, I have seen with my own eyes how phones destroy concentration. Students who check their phones every few minutes never really listen to a full lesson.
Some argue that phones are useful for learning. Of course they can be. But students can use school computers. Phones in pockets are a distraction, not a tool. Until we remove them, the classroom will never win against the screen.

Two parents debate about children's bedtime. Listen twice.
Plays left: 2
Narrator: You will hear two parents, Ms Hoa and Mr Tuan, discussing children's bedtimes on a radio show.
Host: Ms Hoa, what time should a 10-year-old go to bed?
Ms Hoa: Not later than 9 PM, absolutely. Studies clearly show that children need 10 hours of sleep to grow properly. As a paediatrician, I see so many tired children every week. Parents who let their children stay up late are not being kind Β· they are hurting their development. Full stop.
Mr Tuan: Well, I respectfully disagree. Every child is different. My daughter reads until 10 PM because that is her quiet time after homework. She wakes up fresh and does well at school. Rules should be flexible. Forcing every child to sleep at 9 ignores individual personality and family life.
Host: Thank you both for your views.
