are English teaching jobs in almost countries in the world. People teaching English in other countries often have a
chance to travel on the weekends around the country. One drawback is that many teachers often wind up hanging out

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 38 to 45:
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English,
at least three have been identified and described.
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority
of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words
and expression are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are
familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal
speed or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic
expressions are colloquial language. Slang, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number
of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority.
Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 814
Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified.
Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than writing. Colloquial speech often passes
into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy
momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang
phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its
own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.
It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the
creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and
situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association
among the subgroups and the majority population.
Finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard", "colloquial", and "slang" exist only as abstract
labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware
that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate
situations, select and use three types of expressions.

A. Dictionary usage. B. Different types of vocabulary. C. Idiomatic phrases. D. Standard speech.
