Children all around the world love to read comic books Maybe they like to read the kind of

comic books that come out once a month, like Spiderman or Batman, or maybe they like

mangastyle comic books That means that publishers who make comic books need to keep in

touch with the things young people like to do One thing that many young people today are

interested in is technology, so of course kids want to read digital comic books on electronic devices

Let's take Japanese rnanga as an example There are lots of people around the world who

enjoy reading manga However, in the past, it was difficult to find translated versions of manga

in comic bookstores But that did not stop manga fans Some fans who could translate

Japanese into their own language started translating manga themselves Then they scanned

the pages of manga books and uploaded the scanned pages to the Internet with their

translation This practice has become so popular People in the comic book industry made

up a name for it By combining the words scan and translation, they call it "scanlation",

and it is a big problem today The people who do scanlation usually share their manga for

free, so readers do not buy manga books Writers, artists, and publishers all end up losing

Trang 6

money because of scanlation Another problem is piracy in the comic book industry

illegal copies of old and brand new comics alike have been hurting comic book sales

Despite the progress made in converting comics to digital formats, hardcopy comic books are

still by far the most popular format among fans In the meantime, comic book publishers and

stores will just have to keep an eye on their buyers' habits As the popularity of digital books for

e- readers and tablets grows, the popularity of digital comic books will grow as well

translated manga because

A it was enjoyable to translate Japanese books

B they wanted to make a name for themselves

C it was difficult to buy translated manga books

D they wanted to read manga for free

Question 41 According to paragraph 2, who could benefit from scanlation?

Translators and interpreters for tech jobs of the future are expected to be one of

the fastest growing occupations in the nation, according to a just released survey by

Vietnamworks Almost all positions for programmers, application developers, database and

network administrators, engineers, designers, architects, scientists, technicians, and tech

support will require bilingual or multilingual fluency In just the last two years the demand for

tech professionals with foreign language skills has increased more than two and one-half

fold, said the survey, and the uptick shows no signs of abating anytime soon Roughly

400,000 jobs are expected to open for interpreters (who focus on spoken language) and

translators (who focus on written language) in the tech segment, between 2017 and 2020,

says Tran Anh Tuan Tuan, who works for the Centre for Forecasting Manpower Needs and

Labour Market Information in Ho Chi Minh City doesn't include other industries in his

prediction, which are also recruiting ferociously for more people with these same language

skills

While that claim might seem a bit overblown (and amounts to little more than a guess by

Tuan), it is clear that innovative technologies like robotics, 3D printing, drones, artificial

intelligence and virtual reality will create major upheavals in all sorts of labor markets, not

just technology over the next few years In the last month alone, most every job posted

on employment websites throughout Vietnam included the word bilingual Far higher salaries

go to people who work in high tech positions and can speak a foreign language such as

English in addition to Vietnamese, says Tran Quang Anh from the Posts and

Telecommunications Institute of Technology

Unfortunately, the surveys show that most graduating Vietnamese students are unable to do

more than understand a few basic phrases of foreign languages, and practically none of them

can speak any foreign language coherently, The good paying jobs with high salaries and

benefits are only available to translators and interpreters who specialize in high tech jobs,

says Anh But it's not just English— graduates are needed with fluency in middle eastern

languages like Arabic, Farsi and Pashto (Afghani) as well as German, Japanese and Korean

Trang 13

to name just a few Spanish is also in high demand in Vietnam, primarily because it is the

second most common language in the US after English

A recent tech expo in Hanoi sponsored by Vietnamworks and the Navigos Group attracted

nearly 4,000 young tech graduates and recruiters from 14 leading companies looking to fill job vacancies with skilled bilingual workers The job applicants were young and industrious, said

the recruiters However, missing were candidates with the requisite language skills and most

lacked basic 'soft skills' such as written and verbal communication abilities to effectively

communicate even in their native Vietnamese language

Notably, the recruiters said they considered language abilities and soft skills just as, if not

more important, than academic ability Yet virtually all the prospective academically

qualified employees lacked even the most basic of interpersonal communication abilities

On March 15, Dunes View Middle School held a contest for school bands Student bands tried out for the opportunity to perform at the school picnic, which will be held at

the end of June The winner of the contest was the band called Four Square "We're very

proud that we won the contest and are excited to perform at the picnic," says Peter Zandt,

who plays the guitar in the band "And since we hope to perform someday at other

local places, like restaurants and parks, this will be a great first step."

The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr Lopez and drama teacher Ms Cho The two thought of the idea while discussing recent years' school picnics "The picnic is

one of the biggest events of the year, but it has become a bit formulaic ," said Ms Cho

Trang 15

"The activities are the same every year We thought that a performance by a student

band would make the school picnic more interesting and fun." Mr Lopez, Ms Cho, and

three other teachers judged the contest, which took place in the gym Eight student bands

signed up to audition The bands varied in their musical forms: there were several rock

bands, a folk band, and even a jazz band "I'm disappointed that my band didn't win, but I

think the judges made the right choice," says student Marisol Varga, a member of the folk

trio called The Bell Girls "Four Square is really excellent."

To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare two songs: one song with original words, and another in

which students played instrumental music only The judges finally chose the band Four

Square as the winner of the contest Four Square is a rock band with an unusual twist:

it includes a violin player! The members of Four Square write their own songs and

practice three times a week after school Students and teachers agreed that the band

competition was a big success All are looking forward to the school picnic in June
