deficit in September The United States imported almost fifty-two thousand million dollars more in goods and services than it exported The deficit remains very high But it fell in September by almost four percent from the month before Imports decreased, while exports increased Trade specialists say Americaivcxports should continue to increase as long as the dollar is weak Basically, strong currencies help Importers: weak currencies help exporters In Europe, there is concern about the added cost of European exports from the strength of the euro against the dollar In the past week it took about one dollar and thirty cents to buy one euro In China, the situation is different China links the value of its currency, the yuan, to the dollar The set exchange rate keeps down the cost of Chinese exports American competitors are not happy about this policy The trade deficit with China is expected to set a new record this year It was over fifteen thousand million dollars in September alone The second biggest deficit was with Japan, at six thousand million dollars Countries that have a trade surplus with the United States usually buy American government debt with the dollars they receive in payment This way, they earn interest on their Investment Japan and China together own about one-fourth of the debt of die United States Treasury Japan also buys a lot of Treasury debt with its own currency This means there is a lot of yen on D world currency markets This keeps down the value of the yen, and the cost of Japanese exports Economists say the presence of a trade deficit does not mean that an economy is doing poorly In fact, some say trade deficits are not very important They are more concerned about record budget deficits in the United States These economists worry that too much American boưowing could harm the world economy But pother economists say world markets have enough to lend Treasury Secretary John Snow says cutting the budget deficit in half is a top goal

BLUES CHELSEA, who were totally outplayed in the first half, came storming back to overwhelm Nottingham Forest Theirs was a remarkable revival in a game of flowing attacks and fluctuating fortunes Aiming to repeat their six-goai strike last season at Stamford Bridge, Forest were up to schedule at haif-time having already put three past Niedzwiecki Both teams had been in impressive form in previous matches, but it was Forest who made all the early running Pearce came driving up to initiate a series of raids down the left and each time the ball was swung across high, the Chelsea defenders looked sadly vulnerable That flaw proved fatal when Pearce's free kick drifted over for the unchallenged Foster to dive forward and head neatly in The search for a scapegoat centred on Dixon, who was censored by Wicks for failing to come back and mark That at least underlined the early pattern of play, with Chelsea more concerned to shore up their harassed defence than attempt aggression themselves When they did push forward it was only the prelude to further misfortune In a quick riposte the red shirts poured forward for Webb to strand the outnumbered defenders with a clinically accurate pass which left Clough free to stroll in on goal and slide the ball home That stung Chelsea into instant response, Dune forcing his way past two tacklers to beat Scgers with a fierce shot from an acute angle For a brief period Chelsea maintained their insistent.pressure and only a fine save by Segers denied Wood, but soon after they were again caught flat-footed as Forest broke fast Clough ran free down the left and when he crossed, there was Wilkinson to dive forward and bounce his header in off the far post There was a second-half transformation as the busy Kevin Wilson was brought on to replace the lackadaisical Dixon His influence helped to give the Chelsea team greater purpose, and the pressure now was on Forest For the second successive match Brian Clough had to watch his team surrender a 3-1 lead A patient build-ap between Hazard and Clive Wilson soon made the opening for Dune once more to apply a forceful finish Clive Wilson then ran free to equalise with a low shot past Segers There was no slackening in the hectic pace as Niedzwiecki saved at full stretch from Glover, and Chelsea's Clarke then came storming forward to beat Segers with a shot that was cruelly deflected past the goalkeeper I/ Read the report of the first division league match between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest and then try to answer the following questions What is the name of

This was not bragging It was a statement of hope from an individual who represented the spirit of a nation The declaration was filmed just before Brazil won the 2002 World Cup, at a time when Brazil—and even less Ronaldo— was given no serious chance of victory Ronaldo was the mere husk of a once great player, struggling to overcome injuries and the memory of a devastating setback in the previous World Cup In 1998, Brazil was the overwhelming favorite to beat France in the final But suddenly, a shining carter went horribly and, it seemed, irreparably wrong Ronaldo suffered a fit as the big game approached He was rushed to a Paris hospital where he underwent a full body scan, then arrived at the stadium just a.- hour before kick-off Throughout the match, Ronaldo was a shadow of the player who had dominated the game up to this point, and France coasted to an unexpected victory "What happened in Paris was terrible," said Ronaldo, "It was an unimaginable nightmare, when the doctor said she couldn't find anything wrong with me, I said I had no choice, I must play It was my duty, what I was bom to I knew I wasn’t right, but sometimes in life you feel you are trapped and you just dont have any options." Friends say the entrapment felt by the soccer prodigy ran deeper than the overwhelming circumstances that brought about his fit, now widely believed to have been a combination of stress, ard a possible reaction to the high dosage of painkiller that had gotten him through the semi-final Another part of his problem, say friends, was that he was unhappy with his personal life Many suspected that his then girlfriend, the high society Rio model Suzana Werner, was happy to ride the wave of publicity that came with her relationship with the world's most celebrated soccer player, but the game, and the pressures it brought to Ronaldo, meant little to her It seems that these events are now long behind him Indeed, he is conspicuously happy with his personal life after marriage to Milene, who not only knows about soccer, but plays it with some accomplishment With Suzana, Ronaldo's goofy, gap-toothed grin seemed to mask a certain uneasiness, but with Milene he is relaxed and always eager to tell stones from home, especially when they involve his son Ronald Just before Brazil's 2002 victory, he explained his new haircut, by far the most outlandish around "Why did I have my crazy haircut?" asked Ronaldo "I called home, and Milene said that Ronald had rushed to the TV and kissed it, shouting, it's Daddy, Daddy.’ But it wasn't me It was Roberto Carlos! Can you imagine? I said to Milene that it cannot happen again; I have to something." Such stories are vital ingredients in the re-making of a great soccer player, and in creating a comeback unprecedented in the fabled history of a nation that invests so much passion, and spirituality, in the game When Ronaldo was in the depths of his depression, and pfagued by fears that hè would never again play at the top of his game, Pele visited him "Pele, the greatest of all soccer players, gave me back some belief," says Ronaldo "He heard that I was finished, and he told me that people had said the same of him when he was forced out of the 1966 World Cup But he refused to believe it was oveiỊí And now the whole world knows what he did in 1970, in the World Cup final against Italy." Named after the doctor who assisted at his birth in the poor suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Ronaldo's is the classic rags-to-riches story of a poor boy made good As a 16-year-old he invaded the Brazilian second division, scoring 36 goals in 54 games for Sao Cristovao The following year he scored 58 times for Cruzeiro, and that same season he received his first international cap against Argentina, where he showed the precocity of all the great players before him In his next game for Brazil he scored in a 3-0 win over Iceland He was on his way to following in the footsteps of Pele, Jairzhino, and his personal favorite, Romario Just days before Brazil's 2002 World Cup victory, Ronaldo confided, "A Brazilian soccer player always knows there will be shadows from time to time It is impossible not to expect them when you know that so much importance is attached to what you But if you have been given talent, with a little luck there is always the dream This dream is that you will conquer your fears, and when it matters most you will find power you never had before I feel that is within my grasp now, and I'm living for that." I/ Decide if the following statements about the reading are true (T) or false (F), if you check (S) false, correct the statement to make it true _Ronaldo’s statement about Brazil winning the World Cup reflected the feelings of many people in Brazil _ Many people thought Brazil had a good chance of winning the 2002 world Cup _ When Ronaldo fell ill before the 1998 World Cup final, doctors knew exactly what was wrong with him _ Throughout the 1998 World Cup final Ronaldo dominated the match, but France still won _ Ronaldo’s relationship with model Suzanna Wemer may have led to his unhappiness _ Ronaldo’s happy family life has helped him to rebuild his career _ The story of Ronaldo’s success is an example of a rags-to-riches story _ During his depression, Ronaldo spoke to his favorite footballer, who used his own experience to help Ronaldo believe in himself again II/ For each group, circle the word that does not belong The words in italics are vocabulary items from the reading intently / purposely / earnestly / casuaJly beleaguered / tormented / plagued / cured destroying / devastating / ruinous / flourishing irreparably / incurably / aspiringly / hopelessly sailed / slid / belabored / coasted following in the footsteps / succeeding / preceding / replacing conspicuously / secretly / obviously / noticeably outlandish / eccentric / bizarre / common predictable / unprecedented / surprising / unexpected 10 laziness / progressiveness / precocity / talent "What did you say?

The withdrawal came well ahead of the Friday deadline required by a peace plan brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, current holder of the EU presidency At talks in Paris with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Sarkozy said the withdrawal paved the way for talks to resume on an "ambitious” EU-Russia partnership agreement It had been put on ice last month in protest at Russia's actions in Georgia Medvedev had "kept his word" by fulfilling the withdrawal, Sarkozy said "The full implementation of the accords paves the way for the resumption of negotiations on an ambitious framework agreement, both in terms of the scope and intensity of cooperation," Sarkozy said "Both sides must now refrain from any provocation on the ground," he added The 27-nation EU last month announced a freeze in negotiations on a new partnership with Russia, until Moscow pulled its ưoops back to the positions they had held before the Georgia conflict In Georgia, an AFP correspondent saw a column of Russian military trucks, tanks and an armored personnel carrier leave the strategic Karaleti checkpoint and head towards the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, followed by EU monitors Georgian police were later seen moving in to restore Tbilisi's control in the buffer zone At least 200 EU observers were deployed in the buffer zones last week as part of the ceasefire deal The head of the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM), Hansjorg Haber, said in a statement that: "Russia seems to have completed most of the withdrawal However, EƯMM observers are still on the ground to verify." "We will also monitor the movement of Georgian law enforcement agencies which will ensure security on the ground and allow people to resume normal everyday life," he said The Russian forces pushed into Georgia to repel a Georgian military effort to regain control of South Ossetia on August 7-8 Moscow said it was protecting Russian citizens there from Georgian aggression, but Tbilisi accused it of having provoked the conflict in order to cement control over the region and destabilize the pro-Western Georgian government Questions Give the verbs from these nouns: withdrawal, implementation, resumption, cooperation, negotiation, provocation, movement, enforcement, government, agreement What organizations verify Russia’s withdrawal from Georgia buffer zones? -// Ho Chi Minh University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology Department of Second Bachelor Degree EXPLORING NEWSPAPERS Complied and adapted by: PHAN HỮU LỄ For classroom use only Year 2008 ... speculated that as prime minister he, not Medvedev, will be the real power in the land Russian newspapers, citing sources in parliament, reported on Tuesday that a final decision had not yet
