In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages
were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the
matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of
their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage- partners
based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage
is quite illegal.


The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese
occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional
Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often
combining both western and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an
engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the
spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by
a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the
first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the
bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's
house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding
banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds.
Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom
and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.
Question 20. In the past,_________________________
A. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage
B. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family
C. getting married at an early age was not allowed

D. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage
Question 21. In former days, the fact that a bride and groom had only first met just on the day of their
engagement or marriage was____________________________
A. surprising
B. popular
C. uncommon
D. strange

A. Most young people do not have their marriage based on love.
B. All marriages are arranged by parents and family.
C. Marriage is quite westernization.
D. Couples do not get married at quite young ages.

advance?

Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and
rural areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the
man's areas such as business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even
show more overwhelming power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with
creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the
gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their
social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic development. According to
Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of
Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a
high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly
members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese
women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of
literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and
college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.


The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more
complete legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the
laws on "gender equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their
great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional
women's duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income
improvement jointly conducted by various mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental
organizations have created favorable conditions for women to become involved.
Question 20. What is the main idea of the text?
A. the changes in the status of Vietnamese women

B. the Vietnamese women's liberation
C. the Vietnamese sex discrimination
D. the discrimination that Vietnamese women have to face
Question 21. Which adjective is NOT used to describe Vietnamese women?
A. successful
B. creative
C. narrow
D. dynamic
Question 22. According to the data in the text, ____.
A. Vietnamese women do not take part in authority
B. the level of literacy and schooling between men and women in Vietnam is the same
C. there are more women in authority in Vietnam than those in any other countries in Southeast Asia
D. there are no female professors in Vietnam
Question 23. Vietnamese women ____.
A. have few opportunities to develop their intellectual ability
B. have only shined brightly in doing housework
C. cannot do any scientific research
D. are ensured their rights with laws, conventions and national action plans
Question 24. Which is not mentioned in the text as a project to create condition for Vietnamese

In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages
were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the
matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of
their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage- partners
based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage

is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese
occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional
Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often
combining both western and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an
engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the


spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by
a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the
first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the
bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's
house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding
banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds.
Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom
and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.
Question 20. In the past,_________________________
A. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage
B. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family
C. getting married at an early age was not allowed
D. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage
Question 21. In former days, the fact that a bride and groom had only first met just on the day of their
engagement or marriage was____________________________

A. Most young people do not have their marriage based on love.
B. All marriages are arranged by parents and family.

C. Marriage is quite westernization.

Question 23. According to the passage, who decides the date and time of the marriage ceremony in
advance?
A. the bride’s parents
