II. Reading the Text
* Suggestions for answering questions about reading the text:
1. Monitor: Different names for the phenomenon of climate change on Earth.
- Various names for the phenomenon of climate change on Earth: 'the warming of the Earth', 'the abnormality of the Earth'.
2. Pay attention: The phenomenon mentioned here contains explanations about the title of the text.
- It is the phenomenon of the golden water lily flowers on the pathway in the state of Me-ri-lân, which usually bloom in March but unexpectedly bloomed from the beginning of January this year.
3. Monitor: The author's explanation of the simultaneous occurrence of two weather extremes.
- The average temperature rises along with the Earth's warming, leading to increased evaporation of the soil:
+ Regions with dry climates become even drier.
+ Areas near large water surfaces - where there is usually high rainfall, become even more humid.
4. Inference: Why might one argue that people may have been mistaken in using the term 'the warming of the Earth'?
Because:
- The term 'the warming of the Earth' primarily refers to temperature. However, this phenomenon may not necessarily cause any issues.
- Meanwhile, the actual Earth's climate is significantly different from the term 'the warming of the Earth': 'It varies across geographical regions [...] more than it is positive'.
5. Monitor: How the extended quote from a relevant reference material is presented concerning the discussed issue.
- The author sequentially presents locations negatively affected by the Earth's abnormality. To make the excerpt more specific and authentic, the author also mentions the year and statistics.
6. Connection: How is the phenomenon of extreme weather currently unfolding?
- The phenomenon of extreme weather is becoming increasingly severe:
+ Melting ice, rising sea levels.
+ Annual average temperatures are on the rise.
+ Some areas are experiencing drought, heavy soil salinity.
+ Natural disasters occur frequently and more dangerously than ever: earthquakes, tsunamis, floods,...
=> Humans find it challenging to anticipate the changes in nature and the environment.

* Suggestions:
Coping with 'climate change' is a challenging problem for most countries worldwide. When we mention this phenomenon, we immediately think of unusual changes in weather and climate such as rising temperatures, heavy rainfall, rapid melting of ice, etc. In recent years, Northern Vietnam has been experiencing many negative impacts of 'climate change.' In 2020, Hanoi and several neighboring provinces had an average monthly temperature higher than the annual average by 0.5 - 1.5 degrees Celsius. During the peak heatwave, temperatures ranged from 28 - 40 degrees Celsius, even exceeding 40.9 degrees Celsius. Additionally, extreme weather events (hailstorms, storms, severe cold spells) frequently occur in many mountainous provinces in the North. This has directly affected the daily lives and livelihoods of the people.
