In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were
generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the
past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or
marriage. In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based
on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions.
Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding
continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and
eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place
usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the
marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of
an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is
the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the
bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a
wedding banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several
special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one
point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.

A smart board is an interactive whiteboard. It can be connected to one or more laptops, PCs, tablets, or
other electronic devices. Smart boards are extremely useful in a classroom because they can engage students,
provide interactive opportunities that a traditional whiteboard, blackboard or flip chart can't, and can also
develop students' computer skills along with their English skills. Smart boards also have touch-screen
technology so you do not actually need a computer to access the basic functionality. You can write on a smart
board with special pens which are usually provided with the board, and anything written on the board can be
saved for future reference, or printed out. It is great, for example, if you are doing a brainstorming session or a
mind map with your classmates and you want to keep a record of it. If you don't want to draw with the pens, you
can use a keyboard and type onto a programme such as Word, and have it appear on the screen for everyone to
see. This is great if you are doing an exercise with your class and you want everyone to be able to see the
answers during the checking stage. You can also run PowerPoint presentations on an interactive whiteboard.
These can sometimes be great for grammar or vocabulary presentations and the advantage of them is that
students can make contributions. If you have the Internet access, you can access websites and put them onto a
white board. This is great in an English classroom if you have online quizzes or games you want to use.
Students can actually come up to the board and select their answers. This involves them directly in the board
work, which they usually love. You can also run video clips or sound files from the Internet, or some which are
saved on your computer. In short, a smart board can make the lessons more varied, and can give students a more
active role in the lesson.

READING 6.
The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in simple terms. Slowly, there is a
growing number of professional women and professional women's associations. More women continue to work
after getting married and having children. However, many companies have separate programs for women,
usually non-career development, and follow practices that would be considered discriminatory in other societies.
For a typical couple, the female spouse is still generally expected to do all of the cleaning, cooking and other
chores, whether she is working or not. Single women are said to be enjoying their lives, spending much money
on travel abroad and shopping. Housewives are active in networking themselves for various objectives, for
example volunteer activities, community services, recycling activities, study groups, and many others. The
traditional Japanese value of “good wife, good mother” is changing.
Unlike other countries where a couple is the usual social unit, in Japan it is typical for only the husband
