Dịch bài luận sang tiếng việt:

Noticing the peach buds slightly blossoming, getting the spring rain clang to the clothes, smelling the incense in the air, which all signal to the fact that Tet has already arrived. Tet is always considered as the most expectant opportunity to gather up beside your beloved ones, to enjoy the full emotion that “I am now in my home”. The Tet holidays before I was 18 suddenly rush into my mind, and I want to write about those nonreturnable Tets. Would you feel eager and distinctive if you could celebrate Tet in both Northern and Southern ways even you were living in the North? That was exactly how I experienced Tet holiday in my family because my grandfather comes from the South. A small apricot blossommed tree, a lovely peach blossom one and a kumquat tree laden with fruits, my house was full of Spring’s colors! I felt as if the living room were absolutely occupied by the Spring’s vitality and energy. To be more important, the best thing of those Tet holidays was that my family still had enough members as I defaulted it must be: my grandparents, my aunt, my parents, my older brother, my younger brother, my dog and me. Hastily preparing food for Tet, my mum spent all of her day considering and listing everything necessary. Re-decorating the house was the my brother’s and my task. My dad took in charge of cooking while my grandparents would like to direct how the altar should be displayed. Together preparing for Tet, I used to experience Tet with its full meaning of “Tet doan vien” (Tet – Family Reunion).

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 questions.

Colors and Emotions

          Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

          Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.

          The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better.

          Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions

According to the passage, what do color, sound, and emotion all have in common?

A. They all affect the cells of the body

B. They are all forms of motion

C. They are all related to health

D. none of the above
