II. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each of the questions
An important part of being an adult in the USA is becoming more independent from your parents. First,
make sure you are living somewhere rather than your parents' house. If your parents own the property in
which you live, they will have a say in how you maintain that property. If you want to be independent and
make your own decisions about how you live, you will need to obtain your own housing that is completely
separate from your parents both physically and financially.
Second, generate your own income and be as financially self-sufficient as possible. One of the main
challenges in becoming independent as an adult is acquiring a sufficient income to allow you to live without
the financial assistance of your parents. This can be particularly difficult if you are still a university student,
but it is not impossible. Seek scholarships and part- time jobs. If you are no longer a student, find
employment that offers a salary that can cover your expenses. It may be necessary to obtain multiple
sources of income in order to become financially self-sufficient and independent from your parents.
Next, budget your expenses carefully. When first becoming financially independent, it may be necessary to
cut back on some of your expenses and strictly stick to a budget. Determine exactly what you can afford in
terms of rent, food, clothing, transportation and entertainment based on your own income, create a budget.
While you may experience a dip in your standard of living at first, learning how to follow a budget and be
self-sufficient will help you stay independent.

Quan ho is a style of Vietnamese folk music that was recognised by UNESCO as a World Cultural
Heritage in 2009. It first appeared in Bac Ninh Province in the 13th century. After so many years, quan ho
is still an important part of Vietnamese culture. However, it is also facing a number of challenges such as

lack of interest in folk culture, limited performance opportunities, and competition from other music styles.
To deal with the challenges, local authorities are making every effort to restore and promote quan ho.
First, different versions of thousands of quan ho songs were recorded in quan ho villages with the
voices of hundreds of artists. Then the best songs were selected for publishing. These collections of quan
ho songs will help keep the art alive for future generations. These books can also be used as cultural
documents for restoration and research work.
Second, singing clubs were set up in quan ho villages to attract members, especially younger
people. Club members gather to share their knowledge about quan ho singing. Older singers also offer
regular training sessions for young members. Singing along with experienced performers helps young
people learn the old melodies and lyrics quickly. In addition, local authorities try to promote the folk music
to wider audiences, especially international ones. Every year, there is a quan ho singing competition, which
attracts thousands of amateur and professional singers from all parts of the country. Winners are then
invited to perform at different cultural exchanges, introducing the songs to international audiences around
the world.
