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 Question s.

 Thanks to electricity, candles are no longer a necessity in our lives, but they are still a pleasure. The warm flame of candlelight can quickly alter the mood and atmosphere of a room, often creating a peaceful scene that electric light just cannot match.

 Candles are an important part of many cultural and religious festival and have been burnt in various forms for centuries. The ancient Romans and Egyptians made candles from a type of fiber coated with wax. However, up until the nineteenth century, most candles were made from a substance called tallow, obtained from beef fat. Tallow candles were very smoky and, understandably, had an unpleasant odor.

 In the 19th century, candle makers learned to separate stearin, the solid form fat used as a type of glue, from tallow and used it to harden other fats. Candles that contained stearin would burn longer than previous ones and had a better smell. Stearin is still one of the main components of modern candle-making, and the techniques used to create candles today are much the same as they have been for many years. These days, the increase range of wax dyes, perfumes and other additives that are now available make candle making a very exciting and rewarding hobby.

 Sales of candles have increased greatly over the last few years, showing that they have become part of our lives again, not through necessity, but because of the magical atmosphere they create. In our increasingly stressful lives, the calming quality of candlelight has a relaxing effect that many enjoy.

 For those would like to learn to make candles, finding and buying candle-making kits is easy. Candle-making is definitely enhanced by the exciting possibilities of experimentation with various materials. Be brave and try out different effects – some of the most wonderful creations can happen by accident. With a bit of practice, you will be amazed at the very professional finish that can be achieved.

 Despite their delicate beauty, candles can, of course, be highly dangerous. One should never leave lit candles unattended, even for a few moments. Always make sure candles are securely placed within candleholders.

 Teach your children to respect a burning candle, and of course keep burning candles away from flammable materials. Keep your home safe by remembering that a candle is magical, but fire can be very destructive. Be careful, and enjoy the beauty of your candles!

 Thanks to electricity, candles are no longer a necessity in our lives, but they are still a pleasure. The warm flame of candlelight can quickly alter the mood and atmosphere of a room, often creating a peaceful scene that electric light just cannot match.

 Candles are an important part of many cultural and religious festival and have been burnt in various forms for centuries. The ancient Romans and Egyptians made candles from a type of fiber coated with wax. However, up until the nineteenth century, most candles were made from a substance called tallow, obtained from beef fat. Tallow candles were very smoky and, understandably, had an unpleasant odor.

 In the 19th century, candle makers learned to separate stearin, the solid form fat used as a type of glue, from tallow and used it to harden other fats. Candles that contained stearin would burn longer than previous ones and had a better smell. Stearin is still one of the main components of modern candle-making, and the techniques used to create candles today are much the same as they have been for many years. These days, the increase range of wax dyes, perfumes and other additives that are now available make candle making a very exciting and rewarding hobby.

 Sales of candles have increased greatly over the last few years, showing that they have become part of our lives again, not through necessity, but because of the magical atmosphere they create. In our increasingly stressful lives, the calming quality of candlelight has a relaxing effect that many enjoy.

 For those would like to learn to make candles, finding and buying candle-making kits is easy. Candle-making is definitely enhanced by the exciting possibilities of experimentation with various materials. Be brave and try out different effects – some of the most wonderful creations can happen by accident. With a bit of practice, you will be amazed at the very professional finish that can be achieved.

 Despite their delicate beauty, candles can, of course, be highly dangerous. One should never leave lit candles unattended, even for a few moments. Always make sure candles are securely placed within candleholders.

 Teach your children to respect a burning candle, and of course keep burning candles away from flammable materials. Keep your home safe by remembering that a candle is magical, but fire can be very destructive. Be careful, and enjoy the beauty of your candles!

Dịch bài đọc:

Nhờ có điện, nến không còn là một điều cần thiết trong cuộc sống của chúng ta, nhưng chúng vẫn là một niềm vui. Ngọn lửa ấm áp của ánh nến có thể nhanh chóng thay đổi tâm trạng và bầu không khí của căn phòng, thường tạo ra một cảnh yên bình mà ánh sáng điện không thể sánh được.

Nến là một phần quan trọng của nhiều lễ hội văn hóa và tôn giáo và đã bị đốt cháy dưới nhiều hình thức trong nhiều thế kỷ. Người La Mã cổ đại và người Ai Cập đã làm nến từ một loại sợi phủ sáp. Tuy nhiên, cho đến thế kỷ XIX, hầu hết nến được làm từ một chất gọi là mỡ, thu được từ mỡ bò. Những cây nến trát rất khói và dễ hiểu, có mùi khó chịu.

Trong thế kỷ 19, các nhà sản xuất nến đã học cách tách stearin, chất béo dạng rắn được sử dụng như một loại keo, từ mỡ động vật và sử dụng nó để làm cứng các chất béo khác. Nến có chứa stearin sẽ cháy lâu hơn những loại trước và có mùi thơm hơn. Stearin vẫn là một trong những thành phần chính của việc chế tạo nến hiện đại, và các kỹ thuật được sử dụng để tạo ra nến ngày nay cũng giống như chúng đã tồn tại trong nhiều năm. Những ngày này, phạm vi gia tăng của thuốc nhuộm sáp, nước hoa và các chất phụ gia khác hiện đang có sẵn làm cho việc làm nến là một sở thích rất thú vị và bổ ích.

Việc bán nến đã tăng lên đáng kể trong vài năm qua, cho thấy rằng họ đã trở thành một phần của cuộc sống của chúng ta một lần nữa, không phải thông qua sự cần thiết, mà là vì bầu không khí kỳ diệu mà chúng tạo ra. Trong cuộc sống ngày càng căng thẳng của chúng tôi, chất lượng êm dịu của ánh nến có tác dụng thư giãn mà nhiều người thích.

Đối với những người muốn học cách làm nến, việc tìm kiếm và mua bộ dụng cụ làm nến thật dễ dàng. Làm nến chắc chắn được tăng cường bởi những khả năng thú vị của thử nghiệm với các vật liệu khác nhau. Hãy dũng cảm và thử các hiệu ứng khác nhau - một số trong những sáng tạo tuyệt vời nhất có thể xảy ra một cách tình cờ. Với một chút luyện tập, bạn sẽ ngạc nhiên trước kết thúc rất chuyên nghiệp có thể đạt được.

Mặc dù vẻ đẹp tinh tế của chúng, nến có thể, tất nhiên, rất nguy hiểm. Người ta không bao giờ nên rời khỏi và để nến cháy mà không cần giám sát, ngay cả trong một vài phút. Luôn đảm bảo rằng nến được đặt an toàn trong cốc nến.

Dạy cho trẻ em của bạn tôn trọng một ngọn nến đang cháy, và tất nhiên hãy tiếp tục đốt nến khỏi các vật liệu dễ cháy. Giữ nhà của bạn an toàn bằng cách nhớ rằng một cây nến là huyền diệu, nhưng lửa có thể rất phá hoại. Hãy cẩn thận, và tận hưởng vẻ đẹp của nến của bạn!
