Specially, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man’s areas such as business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular in Vietnam’s society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socioeconomic development. According to Ms Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender and Development Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors. The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on “gender equity” mark a turningpoint in the empowerment of women. Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and horrors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women’s duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass organizations, sate agencies and nongovernmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to become involved. 28.

boarders and roomers sharing a common residence It should also be differentiated from a kindred (which also concerns blood lines), because a kindred may be divided (3) _ several households Frequently the family is not differentiated from the marriage pair, but the essence of the family group is the parent-child relationship, which may be absent from many marriage pairs At its most basic, then, a family consists of an adult and his or her offspring Most commonly, it consists of two married adults, usually a man and a woman (almost always from different lineages and not related by blood) along with their offspring, usually living in a private and separate dwelling This type of unit, more specifically known as a (4) _ family, is believed to be the oldest of the various types of families in

following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions There's no place in the world quite as famous for its culture as the island kingdom of Great Britain With over two thousand years of culture from which to draw, the nation and its people celebrate weddings with a uniquely elegant sense of poise and class A bride's wedding day is often touted as "the happiest day of her life", but in all honesty it's often a very stressful experience as there are lots of conventions surrounding the whole thing and you can get caught up in family rows, and trying to please everyone Still it's a good test of a couple's courage When the guests arrive for a wedding the ushers' duty is to hand out the correct books, flowers and the order of service, they also ensure the guests are seated in the correct places Traditionally, the side on which people sit depends on whether they are friends or family of the bride or of the groom The front rows are generally reserved for close family or friends, with the very first seats reserved for the bridal party However, in many ceremonies the bridal party will remain standing at the altar during the ceremony along with the bride and groom During the ceremony the bride and groom make their marriage vows Marriage vows are promises a couple makes to each other during a wedding ceremony In Western culture, these promises have traditionally included the notions of affection, faithfulness, unconditionality, and permanence Most wedding vows are taken from traditional religious ceremonies, but nowadays in the UK many couples choose touching love poems or lyrics from a love song revised as wedding vows and some couples even choose to write their own vows, rather than relying on standard ones spoken by the celebrant After the vows have been spoken the couple exchange rings The wedding ring is placed on the third finger of the left hand, also called the "ring" finger The wedding ring is usually a plain gold ring After the wedding ceremony, the bride, groom, officiant, and two witnesses generally go off to a side room to sign the wedding register Without this the marriage is not legal and a wedding certificate cannot be issued Question 1: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The bride’s and groom’s vows in Great Britain B Traditional wedding ceremony in the United Kingdom C Some types of wedding ceremonies in the United Kingdom D Typical features of British cultures Question 2: According paragraph 2, the couple can get stressed on their wedding day _ A as there are lots of conventions between the bride and the groom B due to traditional customs during and after the wedding ceromony C because the newly-wedded couple have to take a test of courage D since the surroundings discourage the couple Question 3: The word “they” in paragraph refers to _ A ushers B guests C books D married couples Question 4: The word “vows” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A promises B agreements C compromises D arguments Question 5: In a British traditional wedding, the places where the guests sit _ A are conditional on their relationship to the couple B are seated by the couple C depend on whether their friends or family are standing D at the altar during the ceremony along with the bride and groom Question 6: According the passage, nowadays what can be replaced traditional wedding vows EXCEPT? A touching love poems B love song lyrics C the couple’s own wows D the celebrant’s wows Question 7: The wedding certificate will be issued _ A until the bride and groom go off to a side room B as soon as the couple legalize their wedding register C after the bride and groom exchange their wedding rings D right after the signs of marriage are not legal Đề cương học kỳ II-Năm học 2019-2020 Trang 11 ĐỀ CƯƠNG ƠN THI HỌC KÌ MƠN TIẾNG ANH LỚP 12 CÓ ĐÁP ÁN NĂM 2020 - 2021 A Lý thuyết ngữ pháp tiếng Anh 12 học kỳ I/ MODAL VERBS A MODALS IN ACTIVE COULD/ MAY/ MIGHT Could/ may/ might (có thể): khả diễn tả mà người nói cảm thấy chưa chắn - Maybe it will rain tomorrow Possibly, maybe = perhaps: có lẽ có khả (chỉ dự đốn) Ex: I don't know where Lan is Maybe she is in her room I may go to the beach or stay at home in this summer holidays SHOULD: Được dùng để diễn tả: - Một lời đề nghị, lời khuyên MUST: Được dùng để diễn tả - Trách nhiệm bổn phận Must có nghĩa mạnh should Với should ta có lựa chọn làm khơng làm với must khơng có lựa chọn Ex: - An automobile must have gasoline to run + mustn't ngăn cấm Ex: You mustn't drive on the left HAVE TO Have to có nghĩa gần must, khơng mang tính bắt buộc mà thấy cần phải làm Ex: - I need some meat I have to go to the butcher's - Does your father have to go at once?
