 The ao dai, the traditional dress of Vietnamese women, has a long history. In the early 
17th century, Vietnamese clothing designers made changes to the design of the traditional 
Chinese costume, creating the primitive forms of the present ao dai. This creativity showed 
Vietnam’s strong sense of independence. The ao dai, with different designs and materials, 
was traditionally worn by both men and women. Over the years, despite the coming of 
western clothing for more convenience in daily activities of modern life, the ao dai has been

IV. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. (1.0 pt) 
 It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass 
examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to 
learn English without studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and 
confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking 
naturally like a native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as 
non-native students do. 
 Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain 
power. This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may 
notice that there are also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because 
they go to an English-speaking school, but find friends from their own country and don’t 
practice English. Some others can speak English well because they live in an English-
speaking environment. 
Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that 
you will only speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry 
around an iPod and listen to English as much as possible. 
19. You don’t need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English. 
20. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well. 
21. Living in an English-speaking environment, people will learn the language better. 
22. An iPod may be useful for you to improve your listening skill.
