Scandinavia has ranked as the best place in the world to raise children. The Nordic region
holds the top three places on the US News & World Report's list of "The Best Countries for
Raising Kids" in 2020. The list has been compiled annually since 2016 in collaboration with the
University of Pennsylvania. Denmark topped the list, with Sweden a close runner-up, and
neighbour Norway edging out Canada for third place. The 2020 listings will come as little
surprise as the three nations also ranked highest on the list for 2019. A spokeswoman explained:
"These countries tend to have generous paternal leave and maternal leave, offer free preschool
and have good overall public education systems."

The listing was released as part of the annual "Best Countries" list. This survey adopted "a
global perceptions-based" approach in examining data and attitudes. It used research from the
World Bank, as well as the opinions of 20,000 people in the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle
East and Africa. Researchers tested countries against 65 different metrics, or what the
researchers called "country attributes". These included income equality, well-developed public
education and healthcare systems, human rights, gender equality, safety, family friendliness and
levels of perceived happiness. Switzerland once again topped the "Best Countries" list, followed
by Canada and Japan.

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 question.
From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world.
Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a
century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the
way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in
this sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in
manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam, which was traditionally
agrarian, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important
component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing
amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Vietnam have
retained many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly
today as they were in the past. This is best exemplified in the way they welcome foreigners to
their unique country. Moreover, the resilience and determination of the people of Vietnam has
not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the development of their
country.

The teddy bear is a child's toy, a nice soft stuffed animal suitable for cuddling. It is, however,

In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional
craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular domestically, and
they are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started
here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat
weaving village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving
sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different.
Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.

Nguyễn Thị Hường K72A2_FOE_Hnue 31


Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs
during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and
June, otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their
products till the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat
producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000
households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long
Dinh mat weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats.
Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth,
a common material in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed
brought in more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably,
resulting in better conditions for the whole village.
