Exercise 8: Read the 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.
American Family Day, celebrated on the first Sunday in August, is a time to
honor the importance of family bonds and togetherness. This holiday was established
in 1978 by Governor Raul Castro of Arizona, who signed it into law as a day for families
to spend quality time together, free from the commercialization that often accompanies
other holidays. The concept quickly spread, and now families across the United States
observe the day with various activities that strengthen their relationships.
Despite the changing dynamics of modern families, the essence of American
Family Day remains the same. Families today come in all shapes and sizes, including
single-parent households, blended families, and multigenerational homes. Regardless of
the structure, the focus is on appreciating and nurturing the relationships that form the
backbone of society.
On American Family Day, people engage in activities such as picnics, game
nights, and outings to parks or beaches. The day encourages everyone to disconnect
from their digital devices and reconnect with their loved ones. It is also a time to reflect
on the values and traditions that families uphold, passing them down to future
generations.
The significance of American Family Day continues to grow as it reminds us of the
importance of spending time with our loved ones. As life becomes increasingly hectic,
having a designated day to celebrate family can help to foster stronger, more resilient
family units. This in turn, contributes to the overall well-being of communities and
society as a whole.

Exercise 9: Read the 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.
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse
gases that we produce through our activities. Every day, we do things that add to our
carbon footprint, like driving cars, using electricity, and throwing away trash. These
activities release CO2 into the air, which is bad for the environment. CO2 and other
gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.
However, we can still practice those to limit our carbon footprint. One way is by
using less electricity. We can turn off lights when we leave a room and unplug devices
when we are not using them. Using energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances also
helps. Another way to reduce our carbon footprint is by driving less. Walking, biking,
or taking public transportation can reduce a lot of CO2. Carpooling with friends is
another good idea.
Recycling is also important. When we recycle, we use materials again instead of
making new ones. This saves energy and reduces the amount of CO2 released. We can
also reduce our carbon footprint by eating less meat. Meat production uses a lot of
energy and water. Eating more vegetables and fruits is better for the environment. Also,
planting trees is a great way to help. Trees take in CO2 and give out oxygen. By planting
more trees, we can reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.

A. The new introduction of carbon footprint.
B. Ways to minimize of our carbon footprint
C. Carbon footprints and ways to reduce them.
D. The consequences of carbon footprints.

A. the amount of carbon dioxide that we produce through our activities.

C. the proportion of CO2 and O2 that trees take in their body every day.
D. the proportion of harmful gases which humans give out to the environment.

Chau Van singing, also known as "Hát Chầu Văn," is a traditional form of
Vietnamese music that plays a vital role in the country's cultural and spiritual life.
Originating from the northern regions of Vietnam, Chau Van is closely associated with
the worship of spirits in the Đạo Mẫu religion. This music style combines chanting and
folk songs with a variety of musical instruments, including drums, cymbals, and
traditional Vietnamese stringed instruments like the đàn nguyệt (moon lute) and đàn nhị
(two-string fiddle). The lyrics of Chau Van songs often praise deities, recount legends,
and express the performers' reverence for the divine. Performances are typically vibrant
and energetic, involving elaborate costumes, rhythmic drumming, and lively melodies
that aim to evoke a spiritual atmosphere. Chau Van singing is not only an artistic
expression but also a form of communication with the spiritual world, often performed
during rituals to invoke spirits for blessings or to honor ancestors.
The music is characterized by its repetitive, rhythmic patterns and the call-and-
response structure between the singer and the instrumental ensemble. Despite its deep
roots in Vietnamese culture, Chau Van singing faces some challenges in the modern era,
including competition from contemporary music genres and a decline in the number of
young practitioners. Efforts are being made to preserve this traditional art form,
including its recognition by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, which helps
raise awareness and appreciation among both locals and international audiences.

Donating to orphanages can make a big difference in the lives of children who
do not have parents to care for them. Orphanages provide shelter, food, education, and
love to children who might otherwise be alone. Many people choose to donate money,
clothes, toys, or even their time to help support these children. Donations help pay for
things like school supplies, food, and medical care, which are all very important for a

classrooms or buy computers for the children. This allows them to learn new skills and

important because it makes the children feel delighted and supported.
However, it is not just about giving money. Sometimes, those generous people
organize events to collect donations or raise awareness about the needs of orphanages.
These events bring communities together and encourage more people to help. When

The Underage Festival
Are you a music-lover between the ages of fourteen and eighteen? Would you
like to go to a festival with friends of the same age as you? Then this music festival is
for you! For most music festivals, you have to be eighteen before you can go without an
adult, but the Underage Festival is different. You must be between fourteen and eighteen.
The Underage Festival is a day of music and fun for teenagers. It takes place in
Victoria Park, London, in August. It’s a one-day festival - it starts at 11.30 a.m. and the
music goes on until 8 p.m.
Sam Kilcoyne is the main organizer of the festival. He started the Underage
Festival in 2007 when he was only fifteen years old. It’s a small festival with 10,000
people but the best thing about it is that there are no adults! Parents can wait for their
children outside the gate, but they can’t come into the festival.
But parents don’t need to worry! The organization is great and it’s a safe and
peaceful festival. You can’t bring food or drink into the festival, but there are lots of
restaurant tents with a variety of food and drink - from pizzas to burgers and Chinese to
Mexican. We recommend the pizza tent. On the festival website, there’s a page for
parents with all the information they need.
There’s a big variety of music, everything from indie to hip hop, electronic to
heavy metal. There’s even a silent disco where everyone wears headphones. There are
six stages. The main stage is outside and the other five are in huge tents. Sometimes, it
feels a little crowded in the tents, but the big names usually play on the main stage.
Sometimes it’s difficult to choose which band to watch because they only play for thirty
minutes. But in general, the music is fantastic and the teenagers are happy.
