Marriages were<br /> generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter.<br /> In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their<br /> engagement or marriage.<br /> In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based<br /> on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite<br /> illegal.<br /> The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese<br /> occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional<br /> Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often<br /> combining both western and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an<br /> engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual<br /> nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune<br /> teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the<br /> ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along<br /> with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another<br /> ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of<br /> guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served.<br /> Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet<br /> will go from table to table collecting.<br /> Question 36: In the past, ______.<br /> 4<br /> <br /> A.

Although we usually identify communication with speech,<br /> communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.<br /> Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent<br /> behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such<br /> as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.<br /> Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others,<br /> in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.<br /> Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined<br /> throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating,<br /> much as they learn verbal skills.<br /> 5<br /> <br />
