Exercise 2. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

The Dao ethnic group, which has many names such as Đông, Trại, Dìu Miền, and Kim Miền, has a total population of nearly 1 million people. They live mainly in the northern mountain provinces of Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Lai Chau and Tuyen Quang and the midland provinces of Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc, and Hoa Binh.

A small number of the Dao group, who traditionally live in the northern mountain provinces, have migrated to the Central Highlands. There are many subgroups differentiated by habits, customs, and costumes, for example, the Red Dao, Dao Quần Chẹt, Dao Lo Ga, White Pants Dao, and Dao Thanh Y. Each Dao group is easily identified by their costumes. Generally, a woman’s costume includes a shirt, skirt, headscarf, a pair of leggings, and jewellery. A man wears a short shirt with a line of buttons. Doctor Vo Mai Phuong of the Viet Nam Museum of Ethnology says: “The Red Dao people wear red costumes from top to toe. They have red shirts, leggings, pants, headscarves, and belts. The Dao Tien are the only Dao group who wear skirts embroidered with the images of coins. The Dao Quan Chat are also called Sơn Đầu, which means painted head, because the women shave off their hair, paint their heads, and cover their heads with traditional headscarves. The White Pants Dao always wear white pants.”

The Dao have maintained their traditional culture in costumes and language. Although they include many groups living in many different localities, they speak one language.

Social development and integration have affected many ethnic minority customs, but the Dao people have maintained their unique cultural values and in doing so have helped to preserve and promote the culture of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups.

Ngữ pháp

YES/NO QUESTIONS & WH- QUESTIONS

(Câu hỏi Yes/ No & câu hỏi Wh)

I. Wh-question (Câu hỏi Wh)

1. Câu hỏi về chủ ngữ

Cấu trúc: Wh-word + V +…?

Ví dụ:

What happened this morning? (Chuyện gì đã xảy ra sáng nay vậy?)

Who told you? (Ai đã nói với bạn vậy?)

How many people went to the class last morning? (Bao nhiêu người đã tới lớp học sáng qua?)

Which bus goes to the shopping mall? (Chiếc xe buýt nào đi tới trung tâm thương mại vậy?)

Khi từ để hỏi đóng vai trò là chủ ngữ trong câu, ta không dùng trợ động từ, mà sau từ để hỏi là động từ đã được chia.

2. Câu hỏi về tân ngữ

Cấu trúc: Wh-word + trợ động từ + S + V +…?

Ví dụ:

Whom did you talk to? (Bạn đã nói chuyện với ai vậy?)

What did you make? (Bạn đã làm gì?)

Khi từ để hỏi đóng vai trò là tân ngữ của câu, sau chúng là trợ động từ + chủ ngữ + động từ chính.

3. Câu hỏi cho bổ ngữ

Cấu trúc: Wh-word +  trợ động từ + S + V + …?

Từ để hỏi	Ví dụ
When – khi nào	When will you finish this work? (Khi nào cậu sẽ hoàn thành việc này?)
Where – ở đâu	Where are you going now? (Cậu đang đi đâu vậy?)
How – như thế nào	How did Timy go to work this morning? (Sáng nay Timy đi làm bằng gì vậy?)

How long – bao lâu	How long does it take me from here to Hanoi? (Mất bao lâu để tôi từ đây đến Hà Nội?)
How far – bao xa	How far is it from my house to your house? (Từ nhà tôi đến nhà bạn bao xa?)

How many – bao nhiêu (hỏi về số lượng đếm được)	How many bags are there on the table? (Có bao nhiêu chiếc túi trên bàn.)
How much – bao nhiêu (hỏi về số lượng không đếm được)	How much does a bottle of wine cost? (Chai rượu này có giá bao nhiêu?)

II. Cấu trúc câu hỏi Yes/ No

Câu hỏi Yes/No luôn bắt đầu bằng một trong những trợ động từ be, have, do hoặc một động từ khiếm khuyết và có thể trả lời đơn giản là Yes hoặc No, hay có thể lặp lại câu hỏi.

1. Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với động từ “be”

Bạn có thể dùng be + danh từ/tính từ để hỏi về nhân dạng hoặc hình dạng của một người, một nơi chốn hoặc đồ vật nào đó: 

Be + S + adj/ N?

Ví dụ:

Is this interesting? – No, it is not. (Cái này có thú vị không? Không.)

Are these islands part of Vietnam? – Yes, they are. (Những hòn đảo này thuộc về Việt Nam phải không? Phải.)

Were they happy? – Yes, they were. (Họ có vui không? Có.)

2. Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với “have”

Have/ Has/ Had + S + Ved/P2?

Ví dụ:

Has your brother left? No (he hasn’t). (Em trai cậu đã đi chưa?)

Has the party started? Yes (it has). (Buổi tiệc đã bắt đầu chưa?)

3. Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với “do”

Dùng động từ do để hỏi về những sự thật/thực tế về người, nơi chốn hay vật.

Theo sau “do” luôn là chủ ngữ và động từ ở dạng nguyên mẫu không “to”.

Do/ Does/ Did + S + V(nguyên thể)?

Ví dụ:

Do they smoke? - No (they don’t). (Họ có hút thuốc không? - Không.)

Did it work? - No (it didn’t). (Nó có hoạt động không? - Không.)

Does running hurt your knees? - Yes (it does). (Chạy có làm đầu gối bạn đau không? - Có.)

4. Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với động từ khuyết thiếu

Dùng động từ khiếm khuyết để hỏi thông tin về những khả năng hoặc những việc chưa chắc chắn. Sau động từ khuyết thiếu là các động từ nguyên thể không “to”.

Modals + S + V(nguyên thể)?

Ví dụ:

Can we stay? - Yes (we can). (Chúng ta có thể ở lại không? - Có.)

Should they stop? - No (they shouldn’t). (Có có nên dừng lại không? - Không.)

III. READING

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

Question 2: The duration and inclination of a bow doesn’t depend on who you greet.

A. True     B. False

Question 3: A lightning-fast 30-degree bow is used for friends.

A. True     B. False

Question 4: You need to tip when using cabs, restaurants, healthcare in Japan.

A. True     B. False

Question 5: Japanese find tipping a little insulting.

A. True     B. False
