1.Abrupt Climate Change (n): Biến đổi khí hậu đột ngột
Sudden (on the order of decades), large changes in some major component of the climate system, with rapid, widespread effects.

2. Biogeochemical Cycle (n): Chu trình sinh hóa
Movements through the Earth system of key chemical constituents essential to life, such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus.

3. Carbon Dioxide (n): Khí CO2
A naturally occurring gas, and also a by-product of burning fossil fuels and biomass, as well as land-use changes and other industrial processes. It is the principal human caused greenhouse gas that affects the Earth's radiative balance. It is the reference gas against which other greenhouse gases are measured and therefore has a Global Warming.

4. Radiative balance (n): Sự cân bằng bức xạ
The relationship between the amount of energy reaching an object (a portion of it) and the amount leaving it.

5. Climate Lag (n): Khí hậu muộn
The delay that occurs in climate change as a result of some factor that changes only very slowly. For example, the effects of releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere occur gradually over time because the ocean takes a long time to warm up in response to a change in radiation.

6. Emissions Factor (n):
A unique value for scaling emissions to activity data in terms of a standard rate of emissions per unit of activity (e.g., grams of carbon dioxide emitted per barrel of fossil fuel consumed, or per pound of product produced).

7. Energy Efficiency (n): hiệu suất năng lượng
Using less energy to provide the same service.

8. Forcing Mechanism (n): Cơ chế cưỡng bức
A process that alters the energy balance of the climate system, i.e. changes the relative balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared radiation from Earth. Such mechanisms include changes in solar irradiance, volcanic eruptions, and enhancement of the natural greenhouse effect by emissions of greenhouse gases.

9. Fuel Switching (n): Chuyển đổi nhiên liệu
In general, this is substituting one type of fuel for another. In the climate-change discussion it is implicit that the substituted fuel produces lower carbon emissions per unit energy produced than the original fuel, e.g., natural gas for coal.

10. Global Average Temperature (n): Nhiệt độ trung bình trên Thế giới
An estimate of Earths mean surface air temperature averaged over the entire planet.

11. Natural Variability (n): Biến thiên tự nhiên
Natural variations in climate over time are caused by internal processes of the climate system.

12. Recycling: Tái chế
Collecting and reprocessing a resource so it can be used again. An example is collecting aluminum cans, melting them down, and using the aluminum to make new cans or other aluminum products.

13. Renewable Energy (n): Năng lượng tái tạo
Energy resources that are naturally replenishing such as biomass, hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, ocean thermal, wave action, and tidal action.

14. Anthropogenic emissions (n): Tác động ngoài ý muốn do con người gây ra
Emissions of greenhouse gases, greenhouse gas precursors, and aerosols associated with human activities. These include burning of fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and land-use changes that result in net increase in emissions.

15. Biodiversity (n): Sự đa dạng sinh học
The numbers and relative abundances of different genes (genetic diversity), species, and ecosystems (communities) in a particular area.

16. Coping range (n): Phạm vi đối phó
The variation in climatic stimuli that a system can absorb without producing significant impacts.

17. (Climate) Impact assessment (n): Đánh giá tác động
The practice of identifying and evaluating the detrimental and beneficial consequences of climate change on natural and human systems.

English Version

Trên toàn cầu, Việt Nam là quốc gia xếp thứ sáu chịu ảnh hưởng nặng nề do biến đổi khí hậu. Mỗi năm, các diễn biết thời tiết ngày càng phức tạp và không thể dự báo trước được gây ra tỷ lệ tử vong và thiệt hại cho cơ sở hạ tầng rất cao, chẳng hạn như trường học và trung tâm y tế, và tác động xấu đến sinh kế của nhóm dân số thiệt thòi ở thành thị và nông thôn.

Vietnam is the sixth country most heavily affected by climate change. Each year, the increasingly complex and unpredictable weather causes very high rates of death and damage to limited infrastructure. For example, schools or health centres, and bad impact to the livelihood plan of the disadvantaged population groups in city or village.
Children are especially affected by these natural disasters.

Trẻ em đặc biệt bị ảnh hưởng bởi những thảm họa thiên nhiên này. Tiếp cận với thực phẩm, nước sạch, giáo dục và chăm sóc sức khỏe đang bị đe dọa và áp lực lên cộng đồng - do mất nguồn thu nhập và tài sản - điều này làm tăng sự tiếp xúc của trẻ với bạo lực, bóc lột và lạm dụng. Phụ nữ cũng có xu hướng bị ảnh hưởng không nhỏ, làm tăng thêm các tác động tiêu cực đối với trẻ em, vì các em sẽ ít được cung cấp đủ dinh dưỡng hoặc chăm sóc.

It is difficulty for them to access to food, clean water, education and health equipment. This is a reason why mounts of child are usually threated. There is a increase in children's exposure to violence. It is also noticeable that women also tend to be significantly affected, adding to the negative activities for children, as they will be less likely to be provided with adequate nutrition or equipment.

How time flies, I officially became a final year student this September.

I feel very happy but also a little choked up because I have to leave this school so soon. Being the member of the great family named Da Nang University of Foreign Languages, I am extremely proud of that. Although it's only been a while, I still have a lot of work to do. I think I have to focus on studying more and complete all the tasks well.
