As far as we know every country has their traditional clothes. Ao Dai is known as traditional Vietnamese clothes especially women. Early versions of the “Ao Dai” date back to 1744 when Lord Vu Vuong of the Nguyen Dynasty decided both men and women should wear an outfit of pants and a gown that buttoned down the front.

As far as we know every country has their traditional clothes. Ao Dai is known as traditional Vietnamese clothes especially women. Early versions of the “Ao Dai” date back to 1744 when Lord Vu Vuong of the Nguyen Dynasty decided both men and women should wear an outfit of pants and a gown that buttoned down the front. The word "ao dai" was originally applied to the outfit worn at the court of the Nguyễn Lords at Huế in the 18th century. This outfit evolved into, a five-paneled aristocratic gown worn in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Paris fashions, Nguyễn Cát Tường and other artists associated with Hanoi University redesigned the ngũ thân as a modern dress in the 1920s and 1930s.[3] The updated look was promoted by the artists and magazines of (Self-Reliant Literary Group) as a national costume for the modern era. In the 1950s, Saigon designers tightened the fit to produce the version worn by Vietnamese women today.[3] The dress was extremely popular in South Vietnam in the 1960s and early 1970s. On Tết and other occasions, Vietnamese men may wear (brocade robe), a version of the ao dai made of thicker fabric..What wasn’t, until 1930 that “Ao Dai”appear similar to what it looks today. Now, Men wear it less, generally only on ceremonial occasions such as weddings or funerals. During the 1950s two tailors in Saigon started producing “Ao Dai”with raglan sleeves. This creates a diagonal seam running from the collar to the underarm. This style is still preferred today. “Ao Dai”is made individually to fit each customer's shape to create the most flasttering look. Its body-hugging top flows over wide trousers that brush the floor. The pants should reach the soles of the feet and flow along the floor. Splits in the gown extend well above waist height and make it comfortable and easy to move in. Comfortability is always taken into account for fashions and beauty. Tailors must be skills so as to ensure the wearer has freedom of movement. Despite it being a long robe, “Ao Dai” is cool to wear. Synthetic or silk fabrics are best to use being they do not crush and dry quickly. For this reason “Ao Dai” is a practical uniform for daily wear. The color can show the wearer's age and status. Young girls wear pure white, fully-lined outfits symbolizing their purity. Older but unmarried girls move into soft pastel shades. Only married women wear “Ao Dai”in strong, rich colors, usually over white or black pants. “Ao Dai”is rarely seen in places where manual work is practiced. In the nineties the Ao dai become popular again. It has become standard and common attire for female students as well and staff at offices and hotels. Ao dai nowadays is very popular with different designs and colors. “Ao Dai”has become the most preferred dress for formal occasions and traditionally ceremonies. Nowadays, “Ao Dai” has been modified. Its length is cut shorter usually just below the knee. Variations in the neck, between boat and mandarin style, are common. Adventurous alterations such as a low scooped neckline, puffed sleeves or off the shoulder designs are appearing as ladies experiment with fashion. Access to new fabrics have made for some interesting design most visitors to Vietnam admire local tailors' skills when making ao dai. ashion designers want to change the traditional ao dai. Some have printed lines of poetry on the ao dai, so they look modern and very fashionable. Other designers have taken inspiration from Vietnam’s ethnic minorities. They have visited villages and studied traditional designs and symbols such as suns, stars, crosses, and stripes. They have added these patterns to the ao dai, so Vietnamese women can continue to wear the unique dress, which is now both traditional and fashionable.

Theo như chúng ta biết mọi quốc gia đều có quần áo truyền thống. Áo dài được gọi là quần áo truyền thống Việt Nam đặc biệt là phụ nữ. Các phiên bản đầu tiên của "Áo dài" bắt đầu từ năm 1744 khi chúa Vũ Vương của triều Nguyễn đã quyết định cả đàn ông và phụ nữ nên mặc quần áo và áo choàng có nút ở phía trước. Từ "ao dai" ban đầu được áp dụng cho trang phục mặc tại tòa án của các chúa Nguyễn ở Huế vào thế kỷ 18. Bộ trang phục này đã phát triển thành một chiếc vương miện quý tộc được trang trí năm lần mặc vào đầu thế kỷ 19 và đầu thế kỷ 20. Lấy cảm hứng từ thời trang Paris, Nguyễn Cát Tường và các nghệ sĩ liên kết với Đại học Hà Nội đã thiết kế lại thân hình như một chiếc váy hiện đại trong những năm 1920 và 1930. [3] Hình ảnh cập nhật được quảng bá bởi các nghệ sỹ và tạp chí của tạp chí (Self-Reliant Literary Group) như một bộ trang phục dân tộc cho thời hiện đại. Vào những năm 1950, các nhà thiết kế Sài Gòn đã thắt chặt việc sản xuất ra những phiên bản mà phụ nữ Việt Nam mặc hôm nay. [3] Bộ trang phục rất phổ biến ở miền Nam trong những năm 1960 và đầu những năm 1970. Vào dịp Tết và những dịp khác, đàn ông Việt Nam có thể mặc áo thun, một phiên bản áo dài bằng vải dày hơn. Điều gì cho đến năm 1930 "Áo dài" mới xuất hiện tương tự như hiện nay. Bây giờ, Đàn ông mặc nó ít hơn, thường chỉ trong những dịp nghi lễ như đám cưới hay đám tang. Trong những năm 1950, hai thợ may ở Sài Gòn bắt đầu sản xuất "Áo dài" với tay áo raglan. Điều này tạo ra đường chéo chéo từ cổ áo đến dưới. Phong cách này vẫn được ưa chuộng ngày nay. "Áo dài" được làm riêng biệt để phù hợp với hình dạng của mỗi khách hàng để tạo ra một cái nhìn thoáng hơn. Phần trên của cơ thể của nó chảy trên quần rộng mà đánh sàn. Quần sẽ chạm vào lòng bàn chân và chảy dọc theo sàn nhà. Tách ra trong áo choàng mở rộng tốt trên chiều cao thắt lưng và làm cho nó thoải mái và dễ dàng để di chuyển in Comfortability luôn luôn được đưa vào tài khoản cho thời trang và làm đẹp. Người thợ may phải là kỹ năng để đảm bảo người mặc có quyền tự do đi lại. Mặc dù nó là một chiếc áo dài, "Ao Dai" rất cool. Vải tổng hợp hoặc lụa tốt nhất là sử dụng vì chúng không bị nghiền và khô nhanh. Vì lý do này "Áo dài" là một bộ đồng phục thực tế cho việc mặc hàng ngày. Màu sắc có thể hiển thị tuổi và tình trạng người mặc. Các cô gái trẻ mặc những bộ đồ trắng tinh khiết, đầy đủ lót tượng trưng cho sự tinh khiết của họ. Những cô gái lớn tuổi nhưng chưa lập gia đình chuyển sang màu pastel mềm mại. Chỉ những phụ nữ đã lập gia đình mặc áo dài bằng màu sắc phong phú, mạnh mẽ, thông thường là quần dài màu trắng hoặc đen. "Ao Dai" hiếm khi được nhìn thấy ở những nơi thực hiện công việc thủ công. Trong những năm chín mươi, Ao dai trở nên phổ biến trở lại. Nó đã trở thành trang phục tiêu chuẩn và phổ biến cho nữ sinh viên cũng như nhân viên tại các văn phòng và khách sạn. Ao dai ngày nay rất phổ biến với kiểu dáng và màu sắc khác nhau. "Áo dài" đã trở thành chiếc váy được ưa thích nhất cho những dịp chính thức và các nghi thức truyền thống. Ngày nay, "Áo dài" đã được sửa đổi. Chiều dài của nó được cắt ngắn hơn thường chỉ dưới đầu gối. Các biến thể ở cổ, giữa thuyền và kiểu quýt, là phổ biến. Những thay đổi mạo hiểm chẳng hạn như một đường viền cổ thắt thấp, ống tay phồng hoặc ngoài các thiết kế vai được xuất hiện như những thử nghiệm phụ nữ thời trang. Tiếp cận với các loại vải mới đã tạo ra một số mẫu thiết kế thú vị mà hầu hết du khách đến Việt Nam đều ngưỡng mộ kỹ năng của thợ may trong nước khi tạo ra áo dài. nhà thiết kế ashion muốn thay đổi áo dài truyền thống. Một số đã in dòng thơ trên áo dài, vì vậy chúng trông hiện đại và rất thời trang. Các nhà thiết kế khác đã lấy cảm hứng từ các dân tộc thiểu số ở Việt Nam. Họ đã thăm làng và nghiên cứu các thiết kế truyền thống và các biểu tượng như mặt trời, sao, chéo, và sọc. Họ đã thêm những mẫu này vào bộ áo dài, vì vậy phụ nữ Việt Nam có thể tiếp tục mặc trang phục độc đáo này, hiện nay cả hai đều mang tính truyền thống và thời trang.

Nowadays in the news you can read a lot about biotechnology and the controversies about it and perhaps you ask yourself what it is exactly. Well, this article is going to give you a brief history of the field of biotechnology and show you that, although the word “biotechnology” was first used in 1919, we have been using biotechnology for many thousands of years in ways that are completely uncontroversial. It will also look at the more modern developments which have started intense debate. When you are drinking a cold beer on a hot day, or eating a delicious cheese sandwich, you can thank biotechnology for the pleasure you are experiencing. That’s right! Beer, bread and cheese are all produced using biotechnology. Perhaps a definition will be useful to understand how. A standard definition is that biotechnology (or biotech for short) is the application of science and engineering to the direct or indirect use of living organisms. And as you know, the food and drink above are all produced by the fermentation of micro-organisms. In beer, the yeast multiplies as it eats the sugars in the mixture and turns them into alcohol and CO2. This ancient technique was first used in Egypt to make bread and wine around 4000BC! Antibiotics are used to prevent and treat diseases, especially those caused by bacteria. They are natural substances that are created by bacteria and fungi. The first antibiotic was made in China in about 500BC – to cure boils. In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin and it was considered a medical miracle. Modern research is looking at the creation of super-antibodies which can kill bacteria and viruses inside the cells that house them. Our modern consumer society produces a lot of waste which needs to be disposed of safely and without harmful end products. Environmental biotechnology can help. Indeed, the use of bacteria to treat sewage was first practiced in 1914 in Manchester, England. Vermiculture or using worms to treat waste is another environmentally-friendly practice and the end product is a natural fertiliser. Bacteria have even been developed to help with problems such as oil spills. They convert crude oil and gasoline into non-toxic substances such as carbon dioxide, water and oxygen and help create a cleaner, healthier environment. These examples of biotechnology are accepted by most people. However, the discovery of the DNA structure by Watson and Crick in 1953 was the beginning of the modern era of genetics and the following areas of biotech are very controversial. Read on… The genetic modification of plants and crops has been in practice for many years. This involves changing the genetic code of these plants so that they are more resistant to bad conditions like drought, floods and frost. Supporters of GM food say that it can offer the consumer better quality, safety and taste and for over a decade Americans have been eating GM food. However, things are very different in Europe where genetically modified food is very strictly regulated and regarded with deep suspicion by the public. GM food has even been called “Frankenfood” in the press, a term inspired by the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. There is a great cultural divide between America and Europe over whether such food is safe to eat and will not harm the environment and the discussion is still in progress. 1997 saw the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first animal cloned from an adult cell. This was a remarkable achievement which created world-wide debate on the ethical issues surrounding cloning. International organisations such as the European parliament, UNESCO and WHO all declared that human cloning is both morally and legally wrong. However, we need to make a distinction between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Nowadays the idea of reproductive cloning – creating a copy of another person - is no longer interesting for researchers. Instead therapeutic cloning is creating excitement in the biotech world. Key to this technique is stem cells, which are master cells that have the potential to become any other kind of cell in the body e.g. nerve cells, blood, heart muscle or even brain cells. Stem cells themselves have generated a lot of controversy as it was believed that only human embryos could provide them. However, it now appears that adult stem cells offer the same possibility. This would mean that a patient who suffered a heart attack could provide doctors with his adult stem cells which could then be implanted back into his heart and used to create heart muscle, replacing the muscle that was damaged. As the genetic code is identical, there would be no problem of the body rejecting the implant as, unfortunately, happens with organ transplants. In the future, biotechnologists hope that stem cells could be used to grow entire organs. In this way biotechnology offers the hope of revolutionising medical treatment. In this brief overview of the history of biotechnology we have jumped from making bread to making human organs - an enormous leap- and it is clear that these modern practices raise many controversial issues. However, despite the debate, we can imagine that as biotechnology has been around for many years, it will still be around for some time to come - but who knows where it will take us? Questions: After reading, choose the best answer for the following questions 1. What is the main topic of the article? Brief history and modern developments of biotechnology Benefit of biotechnology Modern research in biotechnology 2. What does the pronoun "IT" in the first paragraph refer to? Biotechnology The article The word "Biotechnology" 3. Which products were first made with fermentation of micro-organisms? Beer, bread and cheese Bread and wine Beer and cheese Decide whether the statement below is True or False. 4. Alexander Fleming discovered super-antibodies which can kill bacteria and viruses inside the cells that house them. TrueFalse 5. GM food is easily available in the U.S. and Europe.

Indeed, the use of bacteria to treat sewage was first practiced in 1914 in Manchester, England. Vermiculture or using worms to treat waste is another environmentally-friendly practice and the end product is a natural fertiliser. Bacteria have even been developed to help with problems such as oil spills. They convert crude oil and gasoline into non-toxic substances such as carbon dioxide, water and oxygen and help create a cleaner, healthier environment. These examples of biotechnology are accepted by most people. However, the discovery of the DNA structure by Watson and Crick in 1953 was the beginning of the modern era of genetics and the following areas of biotech are very controversial. Read on… The genetic modification of plants and crops has been in practice for many years. This involves changing the genetic code of these plants so that they are more resistant to bad conditions like drought, floods and frost. Supporters of GM food say that it can offer the consumer better quality, safety and taste and for over a decade Americans have been eating GM food. However, things are very different in Europe where genetically modified food is very strictly regulated and regarded with deep suspicion by the public. GM food has even been called “Frankenfood” in the press, a term inspired by the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. There is a great cultural divide between America and Europe over whether such food is safe to eat and will not harm the environment and the discussion is still in progress. 1997 saw the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first animal cloned from an adult cell. This was a remarkable achievement which created world-wide debate on the ethical issues surrounding cloning. International organisations such as the European parliament, UNESCO and WHO all declared that human cloning is both morally and legally wrong. However, we need to make a distinction between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Nowadays the idea of reproductive cloning – creating a copy of another person - is no longer interesting for researchers. Instead therapeutic cloning is creating excitement in the biotech world. Key to this technique is stem cells, which are master cells that have the potential to become any other kind of cell in the body e.g. nerve cells, blood, heart muscle or even brain cells. Stem cells themselves have generated a lot of controversy as it was believed that only human embryos could provide them. However, it now appears that adult stem cells offer the same possibility. This would mean that a patient who suffered a heart attack could provide doctors with his adult stem cells which could then be implanted back into his heart and used to create heart muscle, replacing the muscle that was damaged. As the genetic code is identical, there would be no problem of the body rejecting the implant as, unfortunately, happens with organ transplants. In the future, biotechnologists hope that stem cells could be used to grow entire organs. In this way biotechnology offers the hope of revolutionising medical treatment. In this brief overview of the history of biotechnology we have jumped from making bread to making human organs - an enormous leap- and it is clear that these modern practices raise many controversial issues. However, despite the debate, we can imagine that as biotechnology has been around for many years, it will still be around for some time to come - but who knows where it will take us?

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.

   Music therapy is using music to help people with a variety of problems. For example, it can help people with communication and speech problems speak better. It can help people with memory problems remember things from their past. Music therapy can also help people manage stress and be more relaxed. It can even make people with bad pain feel better.

   In music therapy, a music therapist works with one person alone or with small groups. The therapist meets with the person and does tests to find out what the problem is and what the person can do with music. Then the therapist decides what kind of music therapy to use. Some people sing, and others might compose music, but a person doesn't need to know about music to be helped by music therapy. There are options such as listening to music and dancing to music. Research shows that these activities are good for the body and for the mind.

   Homes that take care of elderly people often have music therapy programs. The programs help the elderly be more energetic and also help with memory problems. Some hospitals have music therapy for patients who are in a lot of pain. Music can affect a part of the brain that reduces pain.

   Trevor Gibbons is one example of a person who was helped by music therapy. In 2000, he was putting in windows on the fourth floor of a building when he fell. He was in the hospital for over a year. He was in a lot of pain, and he couldn’t talk. He went from the hospital to a rehabilitation center that has a music therapy program, and a music therapist worked with him for several years. He could sing more easily than he could talk. Trevor says that music also helped him manage loneliness, sadness, and pain after he was hurt. Music and the music therapist inspired him, and he has written and sung many songs. He has even recorded CDs and performed at Lincoln Center in New York.

Question 9: It is stated in the passage that _______.

A. homes for the aged don’t have music therapy programs

B. in music therapy some people sing or even compose music

C. Trevor Gibbons hurt himself when he fell off the fifth floor

D. listening and dancing to music are not included in music therapy

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.

   Every four years the world watches the Olympic Games, which start when somebody from the host country carries a torch into the stadium and lights the flame in the opening ceremony. The flame continues to burn throughout the games until it is extinguished in the closing ceremony.

This is a tradition that started in ancient Greece, when a fire burnt throughout the ancient Olympics, but it was not introduced to the modern games until 1928. The modern world welcomed the idea of an Olympic flame with enthusiasm. In 1936, Carl Diem, a German sports official, came up with the idea of an Olympic torch relay for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Since then the torch relay has been part of the Olympic Games.

   The Olympic torch is lit many months before the opening ceremony at Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympics in Greece. Eleven women take part and one of them lights the torch from the sun using a special mirror. After this, there is a ceremony in the Athenian Panathmaiko Stadium, where the Athens city authorities deliver the torch to the officials of the host city.

   This ceremony is then followed by the torch relay. Traditionally, runners, including athletes, celebrities and ordinary people carry the torch on a journey from Athens to the host city. The relay lasts for many months and goes through many countries. Sometimes the torch travels by boat, or by plane.

   The relay ends when the torch arrives at the Olympic stadium where the Games will take place. The final carrier of the torch is often kept secret until the last moment, and is usually a famous sportsman or woman. They run around the track and towards a huge cauldron, which is usually at the top of a staircase. They use the torch to light the Olympic flame.

   The torch relay represents the passing of Olympic traditions from one generation to the next. Originally, the flame represented the “endeavour for protection and struggle for victory". Since it was introduced again in 1928, it has come to represent “the light of spirit, knowledge, and life”.

Question: Which of the followings can be the best title of the passage?

A. The Olympic Games

B. The Olympic Flame

C. The Olympic Opening Ceremony

D. The Olympic Closing Ceremony
