Chọn MỘT TỪ phù hợp trong đoạn văn để điền vào chỗ trống: Samoan Culture When reporting on foreign culture, the media often focus on what seems different, and the Polynesian island of Samoa is certainly a target of this kind of reporting. Whenever a journalist comes looking for a story, they usually focus on the fa'afafine (Samoan men who dress as women) and ignore other aspects of Samoan culture. Almost without exception, they misrepresent the valued place that a fa'afafine has in the community. Fa'afafine translates as “in the manner of a woman”. In traditional Samoan society, when a family had a large number of male children, one would be selected to help his mother. The choice would be based on which son showed the most ability and interest in domestic work and he would then be dressed and raised as female. The choice was in no way based on sexual preferences. It was a choice based on who was best suited to a certain kind of labour. The fa'afafine abilities in producing crafts, combined with physical strength, were a useful asset to Samoan communities. When the son grew up, he would marry and have children, as is expected of all Samoan men, but continue to retain a female identity. Modern-day Samoa has strong Christian beliefs, as well as a firm sense of cultural identity, and many Samoans are not pleased with the Western description of fa'afafine as homosexual. 19.

Đọc hiểu đoạn văn và chọn đáp án đúng: Fracking, Is It Safe? Fracking is a way of getting energy from the ground where other methods are not possible. First, a special liquid is put into the ground, which then cracks rocks. Then, oil moves through these openings and it becomes much easier to extract from the ground. Fracking was started in 1947 and it has become quite popular in recent years, which is why everyone is suddenly talking about it. A lot of people say that fracking is a good way to get energy. Many types of fossil fuels are quite challenging to extract from the ground unless fracking is involved. Because the world needs more energy, fracking has become increasingly popular in recent years. Also, it is said that fracking creates a lot of jobs. However, many people are against this method. They say that fracking’s “special liquid” pollutes the earth, the groundwater, and the air. People who live near fracking areas could have health problems. Moreover, fracking is so loud that workers often have hearing problems. Therefore, many countries now consider fracking illegal, France was the first nation to implement a law to stop fracking in 2011. In other countries like England, fracking is still acceptable, but there are many rules that control it while other countries are waiting to learn more about fracking before they decide whether or not to allow it. However, fracking is very big in the United States, which is currently the leading fracking country in the world.
