LEVEL OF VOCABULARY
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English, at
least three have been identified and described.
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of
the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and
expression are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are
familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal
speed or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic
expressions are colloquial language. Slang, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number
of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority.
Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified.
Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than writing. Colloquial speech often passes
into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy
momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang
phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its
own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the
creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and
situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association
among the subgroups and the majority population.
Finally, it is worth noting that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract
labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware
that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate
situations, select and use three types of expressions.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the question.
PANDEMIC DISEASES
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too
quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of
keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people.
For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in
only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918,
a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very
quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases
throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good
example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

addition, it is deadly. About 70 -80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease.

However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of
getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread a large number of
people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims,
so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors
carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002, and 2003,
doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
pandemic.

A. diseases with no cure

A. Changes in a disease that body cannot fight
B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of disease
