The struggle to have eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest was the origin of International Workers’ Day, which is also referred to as May Day or Labor Day. The celebration commemorates the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in 1886, when Chicago police shoot workers who were striking to establish the eight-hour day. Many workers died in the event. Historically, the first congress of the Second International, which was an organization of socialist and labor parties formed in Paris on July 14, 1889, called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests. In 1891, the Second International recognized May Day as an annual event. In 1904, Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries were called on to demonstrate actively on May First to establish eight hours of work a day and to get workers' rights. Unions of all countries were urged to go on strike on May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers.

Most countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1^st, except in the United States and Canada, where Labor Day is held in September.

Năng lượng là một trong những vấn đề được nhiều người quan tâm, nó không phải là một từ xa lạ. Nó được nghe, được nói, được thảo luận ngày này qua ngày khác.

Bạn đi xe máy và đó là năng lượng cung cấp cho bạn (18) sự di chuyển. Bạn nấu các bữa ăn của bạn và đó là năng lượng cung cấp cho bạn nhiệt để đun sôi cơm.

Vấn đề là nhu cầu năng lượng ngày càng tăng và giá năng lượng ngày càng cao. Nguồn cung cấp năng lượng (19) trên trái đất là có hạn. Nó không thể cung cấp cho tất cả chúng ta mãi mãi. Việc thiếu hụt năng lượng trong tương lai là điều không thể tránh khỏi. (20) Do đó, tiết kiệm năng lượng là điều bắt buộc nếu chúng ta muốn tiếp tục sống trong một thế giới an toàn và lành mạnh.

Nếu chúng ta tiết kiệm năng lượng, môi trường sẽ ít ô nhiễm hơn, sức khỏe của chúng ta sẽ tốt hơn và chúng ta sẽ sống một cuộc sống có ý nghĩa hơn và hạnh phúc hơn. Có lẽ (21) giải pháp tốt nhất cho vấn đề năng lượng là một nguồn năng lượng sạch đến từ mặt trời: năng lượng mặt trời. Loại năng lượng này rất dễ có, (22) miễn phí và không cạn kiệt. Hơn nữa, nó không gây ô nhiễm.

Điểm ngữ pháp pháp câu 17 + 18: S (số ít) + gives + sb + danh từ: cung cấp cho ai đó cái gì.
