habitat destruction, commercial exploitation and pollution. Everyone knows 
clearly that biodiversity is important for humans since it provides food, clean

save and conserve endangered species such as introducing the Red list, enacting

controlled most positions of employment and politics in society. Thanks to 
women’s liberation since the 18th century, women nowadays have gained many 
legal rights equal to men. Among them, the most importances are the right to vote, 
the right to gain power and the right to get equal payment in work. Sincerely thank 
you for your listening. 
3. Findings and evaluation 
Having applied these activities to teach English 12 in this year, I have 
carried out some surveys among students. The results of my work are counted as 
the table below: 
School year 
Total number 
of students 
Communicating in English effectively 
Before doing 
experiments 
After doing 
experiments 
Number of 
students 
% 
Number of 
students 
% 
2021 - 2022 
12C3 (40 Ss) 15 37.5% 25 62.5 % 
12C5 (41 Ss) 10 24.39% 20 48.78% 
12C9 (40 Ss) 8 20 % 18 45 % 
12C10 (41 Ss) 13 31.71 % 22 53.66 % 
As we can see from the table above, communication ability of students has a 
lot of clear improvements. Although students may pronounce incorrecly and use 
wrong words in some situations, they become more confident and active. In 
addition, they enrich their vocabulary and grammar.
