In addition to universities, there are community colleges, art and technology institutes; professional secondary schools, and vocational schools which offer degrees or certificates from a-few-month to 2-year courses. According to Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training, there are currently 23 non-public universities, accounting for 11% of the total number of universities.

Choose one best answer (A, B, C or D) Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realized how little we actually know about the culture of that country. Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue. In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interest of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype – that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.)What are surprising is that they were suggested.

(13) by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be! 32. If we stay a long time in a foreign country, _________ A. we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country. B. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country. C. we usually realize our own ignorance about its culture. D. we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture. 33. It is hard to learn about a country’s culture from books because such books ______ A. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture. B. exaggerate national character. C. take no notice of culture difference. D. contain little information about future. 34. When asked about their own culture, many British people __________ A. argued they knew little about British culture. B. said they themselves were not typical of British people. C. gave incorrect answers. D. were surprised by the question asked. 35. It is easy to ___________ A. know a lot about your own country’s culture. B. know the culture of other countries. C. give exact information about your own country. D. describe stereotype of your country V.
