Cuối kì 1 – Tiếng Anh 11: Healthy Life, Smart Farms and Our Planet

Last year, students at Lê Quý Đôn High School in Đà Nẵng started a small farm club on the roof of their science building. At first, only twelve students joined, but now there are almost fifty members. They grow lettuce, tomatoes and herbs without using chemical fertilisers. Instead, they make compost from leftover food from the canteen. Every Saturday morning, the members measure the soil moisture with simple sensors and record the data in a shared online file. Thanks to these records, they have learned that tomatoes grow best when the soil is slightly damp, not wet. The club's teacher, Ms Hạnh, says the project teaches students about science and teamwork at the same time. Some of the vegetables are cooked in the school canteen, and the rest are sold to parents to raise money for a new water-saving system. Next term, the club plans to invite local farmers to share their experience. Many students believe the club has changed how they think about food and the environment.
