Task 3. Read the following passage and mark True, False, or Not Given – (1point) In Western cultures, since antiquity. Weddings customarily have been celebrated with a special cake. Ancient Roman wedding ceremonies were finalized by breaking a cake of wheat or barley over the bride’s head as a symbol of good fortune. The newly married couple then ate some of the crumbs together. Afterward, the wedding guests gathered up the remaining crumbs as tokens of good luck. Wedding guests were also supplied with sweetmeats called confetti, a sweet mixture of nuts, dried fruit and honeyed almonds. Handfuls of confetti were showered over the bride and groom; indeed, it seems to have been the custom to throw confetti about enthusiastically. Eventually, confetti in the form of sweets and nuts was replaced with rice, flower petals, or colored paper, and these new types of confetti continue to be thrown over newly married couples in many countries around the world.When the Romans invaded Britain in 43 AD, many of their customs and traditions became part of British life. These customs included their wedding customs, and when the Normans invaded Britain in 1066 they brought many traditions. Other changes came about due to increased French trade and contact with Europe, but present- day British wedding traditions remain firmly rooted in the past. In medieval Britain, small spiced buns, which were common everyday fare, were often eaten at weddings. These were stacked in a towering pile, as high as possible. If the bride and groom were able to kiss over the tall stack, it augured a lifetime of riches. The earliest British recipe exclusively for eating at weddings is Bride Pie, which was recorded in 1685. This was alarge round pie with an elaborately decorated pastry crust that concealed a filling of oysters, pine nuts lamb and spices. Each guest had to eat a small piece of the pier not to do so was considered extremely impolite. A ring was traditionally placed in the pie, and the lady who found it would be next to marry. In the 17th century, Bride Pie was changed into Bride Cake, the predecessor of the modern British wedding cake. Cakes containing dried fruit and sugar, symbols of prosperity, gradually became the centerpieces for weddings. Some people made Bride Cake in the cheaper form of two large rounds of pastry sandwiched together with currants and sprinkled with sugar. Very few homes at the time could boast of having ovens, but this type of pastry cake could be cooked on a baking stone on the hearth.Later in the 17th century, there was a new development when wedding cakes began to be made in pairs, one for the bride and another for the groom. Both cakes were dark, heavy fruitcakes; the groom’s cake was smaller than the bride’s cake, and was cut up into little squares that were placed in boxes for the guests to take home as a wedding memento. Groom’s cakes gradually died out and are no longer part of British weddings. However, the tradition has undergone a revival in the United States, where for many years the groom’s cake has served as a wedding gift for guests. Modern groom’s cakes are often formed and decorated to depict the groom’s hobby, for example a golf bag, a camera, a chess board. Groom’s cakes were never covered with icing, but Bride Cake covered with white icing first appeared sometime in the 17th century. 1. Breaking a cake over the bride’s head was the last part of an ancient Roman wedding ceremony._________ 2. Confetti is still made of nuts, dried fruit and honeyed almonds. _________ 3. The groom’s family used to supply the confetti. _________ DeThi.edu.vn

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. (2 point) In today’s society, the concepts of nuclear and extended families play a crucial role in shaping the social and cultural dynamics of communities. Both family structures have their unique characteristics, advantages, and challenges, influencing how individuals experience family life and social interactions. A nuclear family, often referred to as an immediate family, typically consists of two parents and their children living together in a single household. This family structure is common in Western societies and is often associated with modern, urban lifestyles. The primary advantage of a nuclear family is the close-knit bond it fosters among its members. Parents can provide focused attention and resources to their children, helping them develop a strong sense of independence and self-reliance. In a nuclear family, decision-making tends to be more straightforward, with fewer individuals involved. This can lead to quicker resolutions of conflicts and a more cohesive family unit. Additionally, nuclear families often have greater mobility, allowing them to relocate easily for work or other opportunities. However, the nuclear family structure can also present challenges. The lack of extended support can place significant pressure on parents to fulfill all caregiving and financial responsibilities, potentially leading to stress and burnout. An extended family includes not only the immediate family members but also relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. This family structure is prevalent in many cultures around the world, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Extended families often live in close proximity or even under the same roof, creating a strong support network. One of the main advantages of an extended family is the shared responsibilities among family members. Childcare, household chores, and financial burdens can be distributed more evenly, reducing stress on any single individual. Moreover, children in extended families benefit from the diverse perspectives and wisdom of multiple adults, fostering a rich cultural and educational environment. However, extended families can also face challenges. The larger number of family members can lead to more frequent conflicts and disagreements, particularly regarding decision- making and resource allocation. Additionally, maintaining privacy and personal space can be difficult in a crowded household. Both nuclear and extended families offer distinct advantages and face unique challenges. The nuclear family promotes close bonds and independence but may lack sufficient support during times of need. On the other hand, the extended family provides a robust support system and diverse cultural experiences but can struggle with conflicts and privacy issues. Understanding these differences is essential for appreciating the various ways families contribute to the social fabric of society. Regardless of the structure, the fundamental importance of family remains a cornerstone of human life, providing love, support, and a sense of belonging. DeThi.edu.vn
