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.

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

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party
where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and
introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or
religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon
she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She
said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about
themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to
listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at
other things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: 'I like your
hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?' or 'You look very well. Have you. been on holiday?' Friendly
messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

meeting. They always look at them carefully, so you should do the same as they might think you're
rude if you don't. A lot of communication is non-verbal. They are very good listeners and may ask a
lot of questions to (38)_______they understand everything. In a conversation they wait longer
before they reply than westerners do, so it's important not to speak in those long pauses but to wait
