Exercise 4: Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?
Bowing is nothing less than an art form in Japan, respect pounded into children’s heads from the moment they
enter school. For tourists, a simple inclination of the head or an attempt at a bow at the waist will usually
suffice. The duration and inclination of the bow is proportionate to the elevation of the person you’re
addressing. For example, a friend might get a lightning-fast 30-degree bow; an office superior might get a slow,
extended, 70-degree bow. It’s all about position and circumstance.
There is no tipping in any situation in Japan — cabs, restaurants, personal care. To tip someone is actually a
little insulting; the services you’ve asked for are covered by the price given, so why pay more? If you are in a
large area like Tokyo and can’t speak any Japanese, a waiter or waitress might take the extra money you happen
to leave rather than force themselves to deal with the awkward situation of explaining the concept of no tipping
in broken English.
Question 1: Japanese children are taught to bow from little age.
A. True B. False
Đáp án A

heads from the moment they enter school.”.
Dịch: Cúi chào không gì hơn là một loại nghệ thuật ở Nhật, sự tôn trọng này được gieo vào đầu những đứa trẻ
ngay từ khi đi học.
Question 2: The duration and inclination of a bow doesn’t depend on who you greet.
A. True B. False
Đáp án B
Giải thích: Dựa vào câu: “The duration and inclination of the bow is proportionate to the elevation of the person
you’re addressing.”.
Dịch: Thời lượng và góc cúi chào sẽ tương thích với vai vế của người bạn đang chào hỏi.
Question 3: A lightning-fast 30-degree bow is used for friends.
A. True B. False
Đáp án A
Giải thích: Dựa vào câu: “For example, a friend might get a lightning-fast 30-degree bow”.
Dịch: Ví dụ như, một người bạn có thể sẽ nhận được cái cúi đầu nhanh 30 độ.
Question 4: You need to tip when using cabs, restaurants, healthcare in Japan.
A. True B. False
Đáp án B
Giải thích: Dựa vào câu: “There is no tipping in any situation in Japan — cabs, restaurants, personal care.”.
Dịch: Không có chuyện boa tiền dưới mọi tình huống ở Nhật, bao gồm taxi, nhà hàng và chăm sóc cá nhân.
Question 5: Japanese find tipping a little insulting.

Part V. READING
Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
INTERNATIONAL GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS
The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide practice that is said to have been around since the beginning of
human beings. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would
prefer to choose the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate gift for the
hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the hostess,
children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped in black paper because this color is
unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and
other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship. Also, in some countries
you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in others it would be an insult if you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different cultures have
different customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your right hand or using both hands, for
example. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift. In Singapore, for instance,
it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally accepting it. The recipient would never
unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help you
to avoid any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship.

C . In Vietnam, such things as scissors, knives and other sharp objects shouldn't be used as a gift.

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs
vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of
purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150 years
ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only wear once. Now, bridal
dresses can be bought in a variety of styles. In some Asian countries and in the Middle East, colors of joy and
happiness like red or orange other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the wedding ceremony,
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of golf or silver and worn on the
third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The circular shape of the ring is symbolic of
the couple's eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings engraved with the bride's name on the
groom’s ring, an vice versa.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love, and
because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many countries.
After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers –
usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one to marry.
Gifts: In Chinese cultures, wedding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red envelopes.
Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many Western countries, for example in
the U.K, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their new home. In
Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of
the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies in other
countries.
