III. reading
* Read the passage below and answer the questions
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.

It is 7 o’clock in the evening when Rene Wagner comes home from work. She walks into the living room
and looks at her 3 children. They are 14, 13, and 9 years old. They are watching TV
The living room is a mess. There are dirty socks on the floor, and cookies on the sofa. Games and toys are
everywhere. Rene is angry, “ this place is a mess” she tells her children, “ I can’t work all day and then do the
housework all evening. I’m not going to do housework!”
Rene doesn’t do housework. She doesn’t clean or wash dishes. She doesn’t wash clothes, either. Every
evening she sits on the sofa and watch TV.
After 2 weeks, every plate, fork, and glass in the house is dirty. All the children’s clothes are dirty. Every
garbage can is full. The house is a mess.
