	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.
	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.
36.	In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh	 	.
	a. try to produce various types of products b. stop producing the traditional sedge mats
	c. produce new Products from rare material d. for thousands of local labourers
37.	We can infer from the sentence “Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice” that	 	.
	a. both bring similar income b. both occur at the same time
	c. both depend on weather conditions d. both occur on the same land
38.	Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because 	.
	a. they can make the techniques of weaving different b. they can earn more money than growing rice
	c. they can have jobs in the rainy months d. they can go to Korea, Japan and America
39.	We can infer from the passage that 	.
	a. the craft contributes much to the village economy
	b. most of the households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats
	c. the new technique makes labourers work in the dry season
	d. Long Dinh mat production is only well-known in foreign markets
40.	All of the following are true about the craft in Long Dinh EXCEPT that 	.
	a. the techniques are a little bit different from those in other regions
	b. the mats have more attractive colours and designs
	c. it has the origin from Kim Son, Ninh Binh
	d. it has had the reputation for more than 50 years 
Rewrite these sentences

	Định nghĩa câu phức
	Câu phức (complex sentence) là câu có một mệnh đề độc lập (independent clause) và một hoặc nhiều hơn một mệnh đề phụ thuộc (dependent clause)
	Ví dụ:
	She had to walk a long street before she could get to her favourite shop.
	Mệnh đề độc lập là (independent clause): She had to walk a long street
	Mệnh đề phụ thuộc là (dependent clause): before she could get to her favourite shop.
	Một số dạng câu phức thông dụng:
	Câu phức có chứa mệnh đề trạng ngữ/ phó từ (adverbial clause).
	- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ sự tương phản bắt đầu bởi liên từ although, though, hoặc even though. Mệnh đề này thể hiện những kết quả không mong muốn.
	Ví dụ:
	Although she was tired, she finished knitting the scarf for her dad.
	Mặc dù mệt nhưng cô ây vẫn hoàn thành việc đan khăn cho bố mình.
	- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ mục đích bắt đầu bằng liền từ so that hoặc in order that. Mệnh đề này thể hiện mục đích của hành động trong mệnh đề độc lập.
	Ví dụ:
	The artisan moulded the clay so that he could make a mask.
	Người thợ thủ công nặn đất sét để có thể tạo ra một cái mặt nạ.
	- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ để chỉ ra nguyên nhân của vấn đề bắt đầu bởi liên từ because; since hoặc as. Mệnh đề này trả lời cho câu hỏi “Tại sao”.
	Ví dụ:
	Because/Since the water is polluted, the fish are dead.
	Cá chết vì nước bị ô nhiễm.
	Câu phức có chứa dạng “mệnh đề rút gọn” (incomplete/ elliptical clauses).
	Ví dụ:
	Ví dụ 1: The coach could see the game was lost.
	Ví dụ 2: After studying for his test, he watched television.
Trong ví dụ đầu tiên, “that” - là dấu hiệu của mệnh đề danh từ đã bị lược bỏ, mệnh đề đầy đủ là: “that the game was lost”.
Trong ví dụ thứ hai chúng ta có thể hiểu ý đầy đủ là : “After he studied for his test.”
Chú ý:
	Câu phức có chứa dạng mệnh đề quan hệ (relative clause) (xem thêm phần: mệnh đề quan hệ)
	Đặt dấu phẩy câu trong câu phức:
Câu phức phải có một mệnh đề độc lập và ít nhất một mệnh đề phụ thuộc. Mệnh đề phụ thuộc này có thể ở đầu câu, giữa câu hoặc cuối câu. Nếu mệnh đề phụ thuộc đứng đầu câu (trước mệnh đề độc lập) thì dấu phẩy được đặt giữa hai mệnh đề, nếu ngược lại thì không có dấu phẩy giữa hai mệnh đề.
Chú ý:
	Ví dụ:
	Although the dog looked like a mongrel, It was actually a very rare and expensive dog.
	The dog, although it looked like a mongrel, was actually a very rare and expensive dog.
	The dog was actually a very rare and expensive dog although it looked like a mongrel.
Các câu dù viết theo cách thức nào trong ba cách trên đều không thay đổi về mặt ý nghĩa.
