Read the passage about the multiculturalism in Vietnam and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the option
that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 23 to 30.
Multiculturalism is no longer an unfamiliar term as it exists in many nations worldwide. It is usual to see Asian
immigrants wear Hanbok, Kimono, or Indian people practice “Namaste” in developed countries like Germany,
France, or the USA. But in Vietnam - a developing country, can multiculturalism still be found? The answer is yes.
Multiculturalism in Vietnam comes from the cultures of 54 ethnic groups coexisting across the nation. It is growing,
with cultural diversity visible in multiple aspects.
Vietnam’s multiculturalism is reflected in its cuisine and ethnic groups. Citizens of northern Vietnam cook
their meals with light-flavoured but very well-prepared dishes, while people from the south prefer adding various
spices, especially sugar and fish sauce to their dishes. Even within a small region, each ethnic group has their own
traditional food such as five-color sticky rice of Tay people or grilled fish of Thai people.
Regarding traditional clothing, Ao dai is widely seen as the national costume of Vietnam, but it is mostly worn
by Kinh people. Other ethnic groups have their unique traditional garments. For example, the Khmer people,
influenced by Thai culture, often wear Sarong.
Various cultures and ethnicities contribute to the rich diversity of Vietnam. The country's numerous regions
each have distinct traditions, languages, and customs. Different as it may seem, Vietnamese people, no matter what
ethnic group they come from, are similar in terms of physical features, as all share the same origin of Southeastern
Asian ancestors. Therefore, there is not much racism and racial tension within the country.

Read the following passage about the future of work and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
As we move deeper into the 21st century, the landscape of work is undergoing a significant transformation.
The traditional office setup, long considered the key element of professional environments, is facing a serious
challenge from remote work. This shift occurred due to several factors, most notably the global COVID-19 pandemic,
which forced many businesses to rapidly adapt to a remote working model.
The advantages of remote work are undeniable. For many employees, the ability to work from home provides
a level of flexibility that was previously unimaginable. Without the need for long commutes, employees can save

Trang 3/4 - Mã đề 215

valuable time and money, which can then be used for personal growth or leisure activities. This flexibility also allows
them to better balance their professional and personal lives, leading to improved mental health and job satisfaction.
[I] Moreover, remote work offers significant cost-saving opportunities for businesses. [II] Companies can
reduce expenses by downsizing office space, cutting bills, and minimizing the need for physical infrastructure. [III]
For businesses with a global workforce, remote work eliminates geographical barriers, enabling them to access talent
pools from across the world. [IV]
However, despite these benefits, remote work is not without its challenges. One of the most cited concerns is
the lack of in-person interaction, which can lead to feelings of isolation among employees. In an office setting,
employees have the opportunity to engage in casual conversations, build stronger relationships with colleagues, and
collaborate more effectively. These social interactions play a crucial role in fostering creativity and innovation, which
are often harder to achieve in a remote work environment.
Additionally, some employers have raised concerns about productivity in a remote setting. Without the
physical presence of managers, it can be more difficult to monitor employee performance and ensure that tasks are
being completed on time. There is also the risk of employees being distracted by their home environment, which may
not always be conducive to focused work.
