Public holidays in the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as bank holidays, are days where most businesses and non – essential services are closed although an increasing number of retail businesses (especially the larger ones) do open on some of the public holidays. There are restrictions on trading on Sundays and Christmas Day. Four public holidays are common to all countries of the United Kingdom. These are: New Year's Day, the first Monday in May, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Some banks open on some bank holidays. In Scotland, while New Year's Day and Christmas Day are national holidays, other bank holidays are not necessarily public holidays, since the Scots instead observe traditional local customs and practice for their public holidays. In Northern Ireland, once again, bank holidays other than New Year's Day and Christmas Day are not necessarily public holidays. Good Friday and Christmas Day are common law holidays, except in Scotland, where they are bank holidays. In Scotland the holiday on 1 January (or 2 January if 1 January is Sunday) is statutory, and 25 December is also a statutory holiday (or 26 December if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their

bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. And 28 December only is given if Boxing Day is Saturday.

Like Denmark, the United Kingdom has no national day holiday marked or celebrated for its formal founding date. Increasingly, there are calls for public holidays on the patron saints' days in England, Scotland and Wales. An online petition sent to the Prime Minister received 11,000 signatures for a public holiday in Wales on St. David's Day; the Scottish Parliament has passed a bill creating a public holiday on St. Andrew's Day although it must be taken in place of another public holiday; campaigners in England are calling for a bank holiday on St. George's Day; and in Cornwall, there are calls for a public holiday on St. Piran's Day

Which of the following statements is wrong about the U.K.?

A. All businesses close on public holidays

B. There are 4 common public holidays

D. Một kiến nghị trực tuyến cho nhiều ngày nghỉ hơn thì hiệu quả hơn các chiến dịch truyền thống.

Dịch bài đọc:

Ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng ở vương quốc Anh, thường được gọi là ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday (dành cho ngân hàng), là những ngày mà hầu hết các doanh nghiệp và các dịch vụ không thiết yếu đều đóng cửa, mặc dù vẫn có một số lượng đang tăng lên các doanh nghiệp bán lẻ (đặc biệt là những doanh nghiệp lớn) mở cửa vào một vài ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng. Có những hạn chế trong giao dịch vào các ngày chủ nhật và ngày giáng sinh. Bốn ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng chung cho các nước thuộc vương quốc Anh. Chúng là: ngày đầu năm mới, thứ hai đầu tiên trong tháng năm, ngày giáng sinh và ngày lễ Boxing Day (lễ tặng quà). Một vài ngân hàng vẫn mở cửa vào ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday. Ở Scotland, trong khi ngày đầu năm mới và ngày giáng sinh là những ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng, thì những ngày nghỉ Bank holiday khác không phải là những ngày nghỉ lễ cần thiết, bởi vì người Scotland theo các phong tục địa phương truyền thống và thực hiện nó trong các kì nghỉ lễ công cộng của họ. Ở Bắc Ireland, lại một lần nữa, các ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday khác hai ngày đầu năm mới và ngày giáng sinh cũng không phải là các ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng cần thiết. Ngày thứ sáu tốt lành và giáng sinh là những ngày nghỉ lễ theo luật chung, ngoại trừ ở Scotland, nơi chúng được xếp vào ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday. Ở Scotland ngày lễ vào ngày mùng 1 tháng một (hoặc mùng 2 tháng một nếu ngày mùng 1 tháng một rơi vào chủ nhật) thì là bắt buộc, và ngày 25 tháng mười hai cũng là một ngày nghỉ lễ bắt buộc (hoặc ngày 26 tháng mười hai nếu ngày giáng sinh rơi vào chủ nhật). Ngày lễ Boxing Day là một ngày nghỉ lễ truyền thống được tổ chức vào ngày sau ngày giáng sinh, khi mà những người phục vụ và những người giao hàng sẽ được nhận quà tặng, được biết đến như là “hộp quà giáng sinh”, từ những người sếp và ông chủ của họ. Ngày nay, ngày lễ Boxing Day là một ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday thường diễn ra vào ngày 26 tháng mười hai. Và là ngày 28 tháng mười hai chỉ khi dịp lễ này rơi vào thứ bảy.

Giống như Đan Mạch, vương quốc Anh không có ngày lễ quốc khánh mà được đánh dấu mốc hoặc được kỉ niệm cho ngày thành lập chính thức quốc gia. Ngày càng có nhiều lời kêu gọi cho ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng vào các ngày của các vị thánh bảo trợ ở Anh, Scotland và Wales. Một kiến nghị trực tuyến được gửi đến cho Thủ tướng đã nhận được 11,000 chữ ký cho một ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng ở Wales vào ngày thánh David; Quốc hội Scotland đã thông qua một dự luật tạo ra một ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng vào ngày thánh Andrew mặc dù nó phải được diễn ra vào ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng khác; các nhà vận động chiến dịch ở Anh đang kêu gọi một ngày nghỉ lễ ngân hàng vào ngày thánh George; và ở Cornwall, có những kêu gọi cho ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng vào ngày thánh Piran.

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 from 36 to 42.

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.

Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the US, Thanksgiving is not a national holiday; it's a religious holiday

B. Christmas comes less than a month after Thanksgiving

C. Thanksgiving was originally celebrated by the first Europeans in North America to thank God for their survival

D. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is colorful and exciting

Public holidays in the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as bank holidays, are days where most businesses and non – essential services are closed although an increasing number of retail businesses (especially the larger ones) do open on some of the public holidays. There are restrictions on trading on Sundays and Christmas Day. Four public holidays are common to all countries of the United Kingdom. These are: New Year's Day, the first Monday in May, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Some banks open on some bank holidays. In Scotland, while New Year's Day and Christmas Day are national holidays, other bank holidays are not necessarily public holidays, since the Scots instead observe traditional local customs and practice for their public holidays. In Northern Ireland, once again, bank holidays other than New Year's Day and Christmas Day are not necessarily public holidays. Good Friday and Christmas Day are common law holidays, except in Scotland, where they are bank holidays. In Scotland the holiday on 1 January (or 2 January if 1 January is Sunday) is statutory, and 25 December is also a statutory holiday (or 26 December if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their

bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. And 28 December only is given if Boxing Day is Saturday.

Like Denmark, the United Kingdom has no national day holiday marked or celebrated for its formal founding date. Increasingly, there are calls for public holidays on the patron saints' days in England, Scotland and Wales. An online petition sent to the Prime Minister received 11,000 signatures for a public holiday in Wales on St. David's Day; the Scottish Parliament has passed a bill creating a public holiday on St. Andrew's Day although it must be taken in place of another public holiday; campaigners in England are calling for a bank holiday on St. George's Day; and in Cornwall, there are calls for a public holiday on St. Piran's Day

Bank holidays besides New Year's Day and Christmas Day are not public holidays in Scotland because _______.

A. the Scots observe traditional local customs

B. Scotland does not belong to the U.K

C. they are common law holidays

These are: New Year's Day, the first Monday in May, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Some banks open on some bank holidays. In Scotland, while New Year's Day and Christmas Day are national holidays, other bank holidays are not necessarily public holidays, since the Scots instead observe traditional local customs and practice for their public holidays. In Northern Ireland, once again, bank holidays other than New Year's

Day and Christmas Day are not necessarily public holidays. Good Friday and Christmas Day are common law holidays, except in Scotland, where they are bank holidays. In Scotland the holiday on 1 January (or 2 January if 1 January is Sunday) is statutory, and 25 December is also a statutory holiday (or 26 December if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. And 28 December only is given if Boxing Day is Saturday.

Like Denmark, the United Kingdom has no national day holiday marked or celebrated for its formal founding date. Increasingly, there are calls for public holidays on the patron saints' days in England, Scotland and Wales. An online petition sent to the Prime Minister received 11,000 signatures for a public holiday in Wales on St. David's Day; the Scottish Parliament has passed a bill creating a public holiday on St. Andrew's Day although it must be taken in place of another public holiday; campaigners in England are calling for a bank holiday on St. George's Day; and in Cornwall, there are calls for a public holiday on St. Piran's Day.

Tạm dịch: Ở Scotland, trong khi ngày đầu năm mới và ngày Giáng sinh là ngày lễ quốc gia, các ngày lễ ngân hàng khác không nhất thiết là ngày lễ, vì người Scotland thay vào đó ăn mừng các phong tục và tập quán truyền thống của địa phương cho các ngày lễ của họ.
