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.
Vietnamese generally shake hands when getting and parting. Using both hands shows respect, as
does a slight bow of the head. In rural areas, elderly people who do not extend their hand are greeted
with a slight bow. Women are more likely to bow the head slightly than to shake hands. Vietnamese
names begin with the family name and are followed by a given name. For example, in the name
Nguyen Van Duc , Nguyen is the family name. People address one another by their given names, but
add a title that indicates their perceived relationship to the other person. These titles are family related
rather than professional. Among colleagues, for example, the younger of the two might combine the
given name with the title of “Anh” ( Older Brother ). A basic greeting combined with the given name
and title “Xin chao” (Hello). Classifiers for gender and familiarity are also combined with the
greeting. In formal meetings, business cards are sometimes exchanged on greeting.
Vietnamese people have a strong sense of hospitality and feel embarrassed if they cannot show
their guests full respect by preparing for their arrival. Therefore, it is inappropriate to visit a home
without having been invited. Gifts are not required, but are appreciated. Flowers, incense, or tea may
be appropriate gifts for the hosts. Hosts also appreciate a small gift for their children or elderly
parents.
