It is a small amount of money that can bring good fortune to the upcoming year. However, "li xi" is not limited only on the first day, but can even last to the 9th or 10th day of Tet Festival, and given when the adults first met the kids. Besides the money, the tiny red envelope also has its own meaning. It represents the secrecy and privacy to avoid comparison as adults want children to regard the money as the gift of New Year, instead of being jealous of receiving less than other kids. The red color, the most popular color appearing in Vietnamese festivals, signifies the prosperity and great luck according to Asian’s beliefs. In the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year, children and parents will visit grandparents’ home, wishing for a happy new year and great health, showing respect and gratitude, and giving gifts. After that, it is grandparents and adults’ turn to give children lucky money to welcome their new age. 1. By whom is the custom loved most? ___ 2. For how long can the custom be applied? ___ 3.

2. 2. Read the following text about leisure activities of Vietnamese teenagers. Match the words in A with their meanings in B. A recent survey conducted by TIRA, a Vietnamese research company, highlights problems about the lifestyles of Vietnamese teenagers in urban areas. There is an imbalance in their consumption of time for studying and recreational activities. On average, these teenagers spend 9.5 hours a day on studies at school and at home. They only have about four hours for entertainment. Most of this time is spent on watching television and the internet, where they chat through social networks. The teenagers admit that they use computers to play games and to chat with friends much more than using it for studying purposes. The survey also shows that during summer months, despite having much more free time than during school years, these teenagers still fail to manage their time properly. They stay in bed longer, and then get hooked on games and TV. The time for computers and TV increases significantly to about five or six hours a day, while there is almost no time for physical outdoor activities.

Listening Test.// Task 1 Listen to Amy talking about British unusual festivals.// Match the festival with its correct information.// You will listen TWICE.// Now listen and match.// There are some unusual festivals in the UK. The first is Pancake Festival. Everyone goes down to the road and have pancake races – running with a frying pan and tossing a pancake. The next one is cheese rolling festival. Round cheeses in round boxes are sent rolling down a hill and people run after them and try to catch them. The hill is very steep, so people often fall over. Best of all is World Championship Snail Racing taking place in a village in Norfolk. The snails have to race from an inner circle to an outer circle, and the winner gets a lot of lettuce. Another fun contest is held at the Egremont Crab Fair in Cumbria, north of England: Who can pull the ugliest face? The man who won the title of best gurner the most in recent years had all his teeth taken out so he could make terrible faces more easily. Finally, in Brighton, there is Burning the Clocks Festival. People make clock lanterns and time-themed figures of paper and wood, then walk through the town to the beach where the sculptures are set on fire and there’s a massive firework display.

6. words. // You will listen TWICE.// Now listen and fill the gaps.// Living in the countryside is much better than living in a big city. You can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and spend lots of time outdoors. In the city, there is much less space for outdoor activities. What’s more, people in the countryside are generally nicer. It is common that you know everyone in your village, whereas in the city you may not even know your next door neighbour’s name. This is partly because people in the city are too busy with their work. In the countryside, the living standard is not too high, so there is less pressure to earn much money. Therefore, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Social safety is another advantage. Crime rate is normally lower in the country compared to that in big cities. This is particularly important for families with small children. All in all, living in the countryside is the best choice.
