‭II. Read the following passage. Match the paragraphs with the headings.‬
‭TEENS’ SOURCES OF STRESS‬
‭1.‬ ‭In‬ ‭adolescence,‬ ‭teens‬ ‭experience‬ ‭so‬ ‭many‬ ‭physical‬ ‭and‬ ‭psychological‬
‭changes‬‭that‬‭they‬‭may‬‭not‬‭know‬‭how‬‭to‬‭deal‬‭with.‬‭Many‬‭boys‬‭feel‬‭obsessed‬‭with‬
‭their voice or appearance. Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces.‬
‭2.‬‭As‬‭teens‬‭reach‬‭adolescence,‬‭they‬‭have‬‭more‬‭friends‬‭and‬‭come‬‭in‬‭contact‬
‭with‬‭many‬‭more‬‭people.‬‭They‬‭now‬‭have‬‭to‬‭learn‬‭to‬‭interact‬‭socially‬‭and‬‭they‬‭may‬
‭find it is not easy to adjust in the complicated world or to gain social acceptance.‬
‭3.‬‭Many‬‭teenagers‬‭start‬‭to‬‭have‬‭emotional‬‭feelings‬‭for‬‭another‬‭boy‬‭or‬‭girl,‬‭or‬
‭feel‬ ‭the‬ ‭need‬ ‭to‬ ‭be‬‭loved.‬‭If‬‭a‬‭teen‬‭fails‬‭to‬‭get‬‭love‬‭from‬‭the‬‭one‬‭he/she‬‭likes‬‭or‬
‭loves, they may find it is hard to get over the painful experience.‬
‭4.‬‭Pressures‬‭to‬‭do‬‭well‬‭academically‬‭can‬‭be‬‭a‬‭source‬‭of‬‭stress.‬‭If‬‭teens‬‭are‬
‭academically‬ ‭strong,‬ ‭they‬ ‭can‬ ‭perform‬ ‭well.‬ ‭If‬ ‭not,‬ ‭they‬ ‭suffer‬ ‭from‬ ‭endless‬
‭stress.‬
‭5.‬‭Being‬‭under‬‭pressures‬‭of‬‭a‬‭number‬‭of‬‭things,‬‭teenagers‬‭become‬‭constantly‬
‭anxious.‬ ‭If‬ ‭they‬ ‭are‬ ‭unlucky‬ ‭to‬ ‭fail‬ ‭in‬ ‭anything,‬ ‭they‬ ‭may‬ ‭fall‬ ‭into‬ ‭the‬ ‭feeling‬ ‭of‬
‭self-doubt and low self-esteem.‬

‭problems‬ ‭about‬ ‭the‬ ‭lifestyles‬ ‭of‬ ‭Vietnamese‬ ‭teenagers‬ ‭in‬ ‭urban‬‭areas.‬‭There‬‭is‬
‭an‬‭imbalance‬‭in‬‭their‬‭consumption‬‭of‬‭time‬‭for‬‭studying‬‭and‬‭recreational‬‭activities.‬
‭On‬‭average,‬‭these‬‭teenagers‬‭spend‬‭9.5‬‭hours‬‭a‬‭day‬‭on‬‭studies‬‭at‬‭school‬‭and‬‭at‬
‭home.‬ ‭They‬ ‭only‬ ‭have‬ ‭about‬ ‭four‬ ‭hours‬ ‭for‬ ‭entertainment.‬ ‭Most‬ ‭of‬ ‭this‬ ‭time‬ ‭is‬
‭spent‬ ‭on‬ ‭watching‬ ‭television‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭internet,‬ ‭where‬ ‭they‬ ‭chat‬ ‭through‬ ‭social‬
‭networks.‬ ‭The‬ ‭teenagers‬ ‭admit‬ ‭that‬ ‭they‬ ‭use‬ ‭computers‬ ‭to‬ ‭play‬ ‭games‬ ‭and‬ ‭to‬
‭chat‬‭with‬‭friends‬‭much‬‭more‬‭than‬‭using‬‭it‬‭for‬‭studying‬‭purposes.‬‭The‬‭survey‬‭also‬
‭shows‬ ‭that‬ ‭during‬ ‭summer‬ ‭months,‬ ‭despite‬ ‭having‬ ‭much‬ ‭more‬ ‭free‬ ‭time‬ ‭than‬
‭during‬‭school‬‭years,‬‭these‬‭teenagers‬‭still‬‭fail‬‭to‬‭manage‬‭their‬‭time‬‭properly.‬‭They‬
‭stay‬ ‭in‬ ‭bed‬ ‭longer,‬ ‭and‬ ‭then‬ ‭get‬ ‭hooked‬ ‭on‬ ‭games‬ ‭and‬ ‭TV.‬ ‭The‬ ‭time‬ ‭for‬
‭computers‬ ‭and‬ ‭TV‬ ‭increases‬ ‭significantly‬ ‭to‬ ‭about‬ ‭five‬‭or‬‭six‬‭hours‬‭a‬‭day,‬‭while‬
‭there is almost no time for physical outdoor activities.‬

‭II. Read the passage and choose the best answer.‬


‭In‬‭Viet‬‭Nam‬‭festivals‬‭often‬‭take‬‭place‬‭during‬‭the‬‭three‬‭months‬‭in‬‭spring‬
‭and‬‭in‬‭autumn‬‭when‬‭people‬‭have‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭leisure‬‭time.‬‭In‬‭addition,‬‭the‬‭climate‬‭in‬
‭spring‬ ‭and‬ ‭autumn‬ ‭is‬ ‭especially‬ ‭suitable‬ ‭for‬ ‭holding‬ ‭festivals‬ ‭and‬ ‭for‬ ‭festival‬
‭goers‬ ‭to‬ ‭enjoy.‬ ‭Traditional‬ ‭festivals‬ ‭constitute‬ ‭a‬ ‭form‬ ‭of‬ ‭cultural‬ ‭activities,‬ ‭a‬
‭spiritual‬ ‭product‬ ‭which‬ ‭the‬ ‭people‬ ‭have‬ ‭created‬ ‭and‬ ‭developed‬ ‭during‬ ‭the‬
‭course‬ ‭of‬ ‭history.‬ ‭From‬ ‭generation‬ ‭to‬ ‭generation,‬ ‭the‬ ‭Vietnamese‬ ‭people‬
‭preserve‬ ‭the‬ ‭fine‬ ‭tradition‬ ‭of‬ ‭“remembering‬ ‭the‬ ‭source‬ ‭while‬ ‭drinking‬ ‭water.”‬
‭Festivals‬‭are‬‭events‬‭which‬‭represent‬‭this‬‭tradition‬‭of‬‭the‬‭community‬‭as‬‭well‬‭as‬
‭honour‬‭the‬‭holy‬‭figures‬‭named‬‭as‬‭“gods”‬‭–‬‭the‬‭real‬‭persons‬‭in‬‭national‬‭history‬
‭or‬ ‭legendary‬ ‭persons.‬ ‭The‬ ‭images‬‭of‬‭gods‬‭converge‬‭the‬‭noble‬‭characteristics‬
‭of‬ ‭mankind.‬ ‭They‬ ‭are‬ ‭national‬ ‭heroes‬ ‭who‬ ‭fought‬ ‭against‬ ‭foreign‬ ‭invaders,‬
‭reclaimed‬ ‭new‬ ‭lands,‬ ‭treated‬ ‭people,‬ ‭fought‬ ‭against‬ ‭natural‬ ‭calamities,‬ ‭or‬
‭those‬ ‭legendary‬ ‭characters‬ ‭who‬ ‭affect‬ ‭the‬ ‭earthly‬ ‭life.‬ ‭Accordingly,‬ ‭first‬ ‭and‬
‭foremost,‬ ‭festivals‬ ‭are‬ ‭events‬ ‭when‬ ‭people‬ ‭pay‬ ‭tribute‬ ‭to‬ ‭divinities‬ ‭that‬
‭rendered‬ ‭merits‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭community‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭nation.‬‭These‬‭are‬‭occasions‬‭when‬
‭people‬‭come‬‭back‬‭to‬‭either‬‭their‬‭natural‬‭or‬‭national‬‭roots,‬‭which‬‭form‬‭a‬‭sacred‬

‭18‬
‭Giáo Viên Chuyên Anh - Thầy Bùi Văn Vinh - 0988.333.599‬

‭part‬ ‭in‬ ‭their‬ ‭mind.‬ ‭Furthermore,‬ ‭festivals‬ ‭represent‬ ‭the‬ ‭strength‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬
‭commune‬‭or‬‭village,‬‭the‬‭local‬‭region‬‭or‬‭even‬‭the‬‭whole‬‭nation.‬‭Worshipping‬‭the‬
‭same‬ ‭god,‬ ‭the‬ ‭people‬ ‭unite‬ ‭in‬ ‭solidarity‬ ‭to‬ ‭overcome‬ ‭difficulties,‬‭striving‬‭for‬‭a‬
‭happy‬ ‭and‬ ‭wealthy‬ ‭life.‬ ‭Moreover,‬ ‭festivals‬ ‭display‬ ‭the‬ ‭demand‬ ‭for‬ ‭creativity‬
‭and‬ ‭enjoyment‬ ‭of‬ ‭spiritual‬ ‭and‬ ‭material‬ ‭cultural‬ ‭values‬ ‭of‬ ‭all‬ ‭social‬ ‭strata.‬
‭Festivals‬‭become‬‭a‬‭form‬‭of‬‭education‬‭under‬‭which‬‭fine‬‭traditional‬‭moral‬‭values‬
‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭handed‬ ‭from‬ ‭one‬‭generation‬‭to‬‭the‬‭next‬‭in‬‭a‬‭unique‬‭way‬‭of‬‭combining‬
‭spiritual‬ ‭characters‬ ‭with‬ ‭competition‬ ‭and‬ ‭entertainment‬ ‭games.‬ ‭Festivals‬ ‭are‬
‭also‬‭the‬‭time‬‭people‬‭can‬‭express‬‭their‬‭sadness‬‭and‬‭worries‬‭in‬‭a‬‭wish‬‭that‬‭gods‬
‭might bestow favour on them to help them strive for a better life.‬

‭False (F).‬
‭Teenagers‬
‭Teenagers‬ ‭today‬ ‭are‬ ‭undergoing‬ ‭lots‬ ‭of‬‭changes.‬‭They‬‭are‬‭between‬‭the‬‭ages‬
‭of‬ ‭13‬ ‭to‬ ‭19.‬ ‭Many‬ ‭of‬ ‭them‬ ‭are‬ ‭undergoing‬ ‭physical‬ ‭and‬ ‭emotional‬ ‭changes.‬
‭These are the stages in teenagers that are unavoidable.‬
‭The‬ ‭teenage‬ ‭life‬ ‭is‬ ‭full‬ ‭of‬ ‭happiness,‬ ‭sadness,‬ ‭enjoyment‬ ‭and‬ ‭it‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬
‭interesting‬ ‭too.‬ ‭This‬ ‭is‬ ‭because‬ ‭in‬ ‭teenage‬ ‭life,‬ ‭a‬ ‭teenager‬ ‭is‬ ‭subjected‬ ‭to‬
‭physical‬ ‭growth,‬ ‭hormonal‬ ‭changes‬ ‭and‬ ‭even‬ ‭dilemmas.‬ ‭They‬ ‭may‬ ‭be‬ ‭in‬ ‭a‬
‭stage of conflict like undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.‬
‭Making‬ ‭friends‬ ‭is‬ ‭part‬ ‭and‬ ‭parcel‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭teenager's‬ ‭life.‬ ‭The‬ ‭teenager‬ ‭should‬
‭enjoy‬‭life‬‭by‬‭making‬‭friends‬‭with‬‭peers‬‭and‬‭participate‬‭in‬‭healthy‬‭activities‬‭such‬
‭as‬ ‭camping,‬ ‭picnic,‬ ‭kayaking,‬ ‭swimming‬ ‭and‬ ‭so‬ ‭on.‬ ‭Through‬ ‭friends,‬ ‭a‬

‭teenager‬ ‭learns‬ ‭to‬ ‭joke,‬ ‭laugh‬ ‭and‬ ‭play‬ ‭to‬ ‭release‬ ‭stress‬ ‭and‬ ‭tension.‬ ‭By‬
‭making‬‭friends,‬‭the‬‭teenager‬‭learns‬‭to‬‭sweeten‬‭his‬‭or‬‭her‬‭joys‬‭and‬‭even‬‭eases‬
‭the bitterness of life's downtime.‬
‭Many‬‭teenagers‬‭are‬‭very‬‭conscious‬‭of‬‭their‬‭physical‬‭outlook.‬‭It‬‭is‬‭at‬‭this‬‭part‬‭of‬
‭their‬‭life‬‭that‬‭beauty‬‭strikes‬‭as‬‭the‬‭main‬‭self-image.‬‭They‬‭love‬‭to‬‭follow‬‭up‬‭with‬
‭the‬ ‭latest‬ ‭trends‬ ‭for‬ ‭dressing,‬‭hairstyle‬‭and‬‭even‬‭look‬‭good‬‭with‬‭their‬‭physical‬
‭image.‬ ‭Some‬ ‭girls‬ ‭and‬ ‭boys‬ ‭go‬ ‭on‬ ‭a‬ ‭crash‬ ‭diet‬ ‭to‬ ‭slim‬ ‭down‬ ‭in‬‭order‬‭to‬‭look‬
‭attractive.‬ ‭Others‬ ‭may‬ ‭suffer‬ ‭from‬ ‭acne‬ ‭and‬ ‭pimples‬ ‭that‬ ‭may‬ ‭scar‬ ‭their‬
‭external beauty.‬

‭With‬‭around‬‭1.7‬‭million‬‭people,‬‭the‬‭Tay‬‭are‬‭the‬‭biggest‬‭ethnic‬‭minority‬‭group‬‭in‬
‭Vietnam.‬ ‭They‬ ‭live‬ ‭mainly‬‭in‬‭Vietnam’s‬‭northern‬‭and‬‭northwestern‬‭provinces‬‭-‬
‭Cao‬ ‭Bang,‬ ‭Bac‬ ‭Can,‬ ‭Lang‬ ‭Son,‬ ‭Ha‬ ‭Giang,‬ ‭Thai‬ ‭Nguyen,‬ ‭and‬ ‭Lao‬ ‭Cai.‬ ‭They‬

‭Tay‬‭village‬‭has‬‭from‬‭20‬‭to‬‭over‬‭a‬‭hundred‬‭households.‬‭They‬‭live‬‭in‬‭wooden‬‭stilt‬
‭houses with tile or palm leaf roofs.‬
‭Both‬ ‭men‬ ‭and‬ ‭women‬ ‭wear‬ ‭clothes‬ ‭made‬ ‭of‬ ‭hand-woven‬ ‭cotton,‬ ‭dyed‬ ‭with‬

‭Like‬ ‭many‬ ‭other‬ ‭Vietnamese‬ ‭ethnic‬ ‭groups,‬ ‭the‬ ‭Tay‬ ‭practice‬ ‭polytheism‬ ‭and‬
‭believe‬ ‭that‬ ‭supernatural‬ ‭powers‬ ‭have‬ ‭impacts‬‭on‬‭their‬‭life.‬‭Worshipping‬‭their‬
‭ancestors‬ ‭is‬ ‭the‬ ‭most‬ ‭sacred‬ ‭ritual‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Tay‬‭.‬‭The‬‭ancestral‬‭altar‬‭is‬‭placed‬‭in‬
‭the‬ ‭center‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭house.‬ ‭In‬ ‭front‬‭of‬‭the‬‭altar‬‭is‬‭a‬‭bed‬‭on‬‭which‬‭visitors‬‭are‬‭not‬
‭allowed‬ ‭to‬ ‭sit‬ ‭or‬ ‭lie.‬ ‭The‬‭Tay‬‭have‬‭many‬‭taboos,‬‭like:‬‭people‬‭may‬‭not‬‭step‬‭on‬
‭the‬‭edge‬‭of‬‭the‬‭stove,‬‭after‬‭attending‬‭a‬‭funeral‬‭people‬‭must‬‭take‬‭a‬‭bath‬‭before‬
‭tending‬ ‭the‬ ‭cattle‬ ‭and‬ ‭poultry,‬ ‭and‬ ‭new‬ ‭mothers‬ ‭are‬ ‭not‬ ‭allowed‬ ‭to‬ ‭stay‬‭near‬
‭the altar.‬
‭The‬ ‭Tay‬ ‭have‬ ‭developed‬ ‭a‬ ‭rich‬ ‭culture‬ ‭of‬ ‭poems,‬ ‭songs,‬ ‭epics,‬ ‭tales,‬ ‭funny‬
‭stories,‬ ‭and‬ ‭dance.‬ ‭Popular‬ ‭folk‬ ‭singing‬ ‭genres‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭Tay‬ ‭are‬
‭call-and-response‬‭singing,‬‭lullaby,‬‭Then,‬‭and‬‭wedding‬‭and‬‭funeral‬‭singing.‬‭It‬‭is‬
‭sung‬ ‭at‬ ‭events‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭worshipping‬ ‭at‬ ‭the‬ ‭ancestral‬ ‭altar,‬ ‭praying‬ ‭for‬ ‭sick‬
‭people,‬ ‭praying‬ ‭for‬ ‭a‬ ‭couple‬ ‭to‬ ‭have‬ ‭children,‬ ‭at‬ ‭family‬ ‭get-togethers,‬ ‭to‬
‭welcome‬ ‭guests,‬ ‭and‬ ‭at‬‭a‬‭“going‬‭to‬‭the‬‭field”‬‭festival‬‭held‬‭in‬‭the‬‭first‬‭month‬‭of‬
