 Câu 1:   PART 1. Read the following conversation (5 pts) (Rick sees Mai, a Vietnamese student at a party and decides he would like to get to know her.) Rick: Hello. Where are you from? Mai: From Hanoi, Vietnam. Rick: Why did you come to California? Mai: To study. Rick: Oh, what are you studying? Mai: Architecture. Rick: How long do you plan to stay here? Mai: Two years. Rick: When did you come? Mai: Three weeks ago. (Rick is already frustrated. He decides it is not worth getting to know Mai.) In English, one of the best ways of initiating and maintaining a conversation is for at least one of the speakers to ask the other question. Read the dialogue again, change it so that it is not one-sided by adding a question or a comment after Mai’s short answers. Write in Rick’s responses to Mai’s questions. Rick: Hello. Where are you from? Mai: From Hanoi, Vietnam. Hanoi has many unique landscapes and traditional beauty such as Uncle Ho’s Mausoleum, Turtle Tower. I can say that it is the capital of Vietnam. So how about you? Where are you from? Rick:__I am from California, America. Why did you come to California? Mai: To study. ______________________________________ Rick: ______________________________________ What are you studying? Mai: Architecture.

PART 2. Write a short paragraph (100 words) to give advice to a foreigner about nonverbal communication before coming here (5pts).

Non-verbal communication plays an important role in Vietnamese society, sometimes to accompany and reinforce linguistic symbols, sometimes as a substitute for words. So, foreigners should know it, if not it is easy to misunderstand each other. In Vietnam, locals prefer to use non-verbal language rather than verbal language. People tend to hide their feelings as they are quite reserved, so don’t consider this as an unfriendly attitude. Vietnamese usually choose non-verbal gestures, such as gentle bows, friendly smiles, nods, and avoiding direct eye contact. A gentle, not prolonged handshake is commonly used when men greet one another. Women sometimes welcome one another with a handshake, but a slight nod of acknowledgment will often suffice. Besides, a sweet smile is another nonverbal symbol used to convey an apology for a minor offense or to express embarrassment when making a stupid mistake. So, non-verbal communication is very important which helps our conversation more perfect.
