2. Street Children Volunteer Programme in Delhi

time
on the streets. In Delhi, the capital city, it is estimated that there are about 175,000 street children of which
100% are runaways. In fact, there are more than 25,000 children who live in and around railway stations in
Delhi. They can be seen searching the rubbish heap for a meal, sleeping between the tracks, often beaten and
sexually abused.
Volunteer Work in the Street Children Programme in Delhi, India consists of taking informal education
classes
with the children, playing games with the children and introducing them to different new activities.

3. Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share
knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication
is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent
behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as
dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in
turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a
person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn
verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading
nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the
nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not
cease to exist although become entwined in the total communication process.
1. According to the writer, ________.
A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.
B. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.

4. Relationships in Vietnamese family are more complicated than those of Western countries. The majority
of families in Vietnam are extended families as many generations co-live to take care of each other. Family
in Vietnam looks similar to a system of mini society with the most elderly having the strongest voice and
taking charge of most activities in house.
Each family has its own rules and values that members are supposed to conform with. The younger
generation shows respect for the older generation and vice versa, the old generation tolerates the young. In
the relationships between parents and children, and between husband and wife as well, traditional
Vietnamese retain much of their long established customs and values.
Although influenced by Confucianism, in the eyes of children, Vietnamese mothers still have the
same status as their counterparts. They are the embodiments of love, of self-denial and of sacrifice. For
Vietnamese parents, their children are their most valuable assets; therefore, within their financial capacity,
most of them are eager to have as many children as they can.
1. Why are most families in Vietnam living together over many generations?
A. Because they want to avoid spending the amount of money

5. Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. Some people go shopping more
regularly than other people to browse products in shops even when they do not have much money. This is
known as window shopping and allows people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the
future or wait for the items to drop in price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while
others do not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that the more expensive
the item, the better the quality, but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable,
but some people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really
want rather than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy for other people for a special
occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves at
their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy lifestyle. People are
able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even on the move.
Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the high street. The only real problem
is that the item description and quality may be more different than what they hoped for. This could mean the
customer may become disappointed with the item they receive and will need to return it at their own cost.
People who go to shops to do their shopping often use self-service payment machines. This usually saves
time as the shopper does not need to join a long queue. However, it can be frustrating when the machine has
a problem and the sales assistant is not always available to help.

9. Online shopping can certainly be an awesome way to go. No lines, no traffic, no crowds of people. But is
online shopping safer?
Experts says that online consumers may now be better protected than traditional shoppers, especially
if they follow a few useful tips. First of all, make sure that you are on the site of a real company. Some
thieves have created websites that look like the real one just to get your information and money. The best
way to check if a site is real is to look for the “s”, which stands for “secure”, in the “https” part of the
website address bar. Another indication of a safe website is a special icon in the shape of a padlock which
you can find on the browser bar. And it is better to shop with online companies that you know and trust.
Secondly, make sure your computer has a firewall and up-to-date antivirus software. Updating your
software is one of the easiest things you can do to stop hackers from attacking your system and protect your
personal information. Moreover, beware of links to deals that are too good to be true on social networking
sites. If you have doubts, contact the sellers directly. Finally, keep the details of your purchase in a safe
place. Save or print the receipt, your order confirmation number and the tracking number. If you have a
problem with the order, this information will help you solve the problem quickly.
