A gesture is an action that sends a message from one person to another without using words. We use
gestures to communicate with others. There are some gestures that have completely different meaning
depending on when and where they are used.
When an American wants to show that something is OK. or good, he raises his hand and makes a circle
with his thumb and foreigners. The circle sign has only one meaning for him. He might be surprised to
learn that in other countries it can mean something different. In Japan, for instance, it is the gesture for
money. In France, it means 'zero' or 'worthless'. Such differences can lead to all kinds of
misunderstanding when foreigners meet. But why is it that the same gesture has so many different meanings?
When some people want to show that something is exact or precise, they make a sign to show that they
are holding something between the tips of their thumb and forefinger. Many people from all over the
world do this when they want to make a specific point as they are speaking. People later started using this
signal to mean 'exactly right' or 'perfect'. This was how the famous OK was bom.
In Japan, money means coins and coins are around. Therefore, making a round hand sign came to
represent money. It is simple as that. The French sign for 'nothing' or 'worthless' also has a simple origin.
This time the circle doesn't represent a coin, but nought. Nought equals zero, zero equals nothing, nothing equals worthless.
Question 31: What is the difference between gesture and speech.
A. Speech use words while gestures don't.
B. Gestures use words whole speech doesn't.
C. Gestures are used to communicate with others but speech isn't.
D. Gestures convey meanings that are different from speech.
Question 32: When does an American raise his hand and make a circle sign?
A. When he means that he has no money.

* 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.
Halloween falls on October 31 each year in North America and other part of the world. What do you
know about Halloween? Do you celebrate it in your country? Here is a little history about it?
Like other holidays, Halloween has evolved and changed throughout history. Over 2,000 years ago
people called the Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of Northern France. November 1
was their New Year's Day. They believed that the night before the New Year (October 31) was a time
when the living and the dead came together.
More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1 All Saints Day (also called All
Hallows). This was a special holy day to honor the saints and other people who died for their religion.
The night before All Hallows was called Hallows Eve. Later the name was changed to Halloween.
Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the dead would visit the earth
on Halloween. They worried that evil spirits would cause problems or hurt them. So on that night people
wore costumes that looked like ghosts or other evil creatures. They thought if they dressed like that, the
spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them.
The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some of the
traditions changed a little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europe some people would carry
lanterns made from turnips. In America, pumpkins were more common. So people began putting candles
inside them and using them as lanterns. That is why you see Jack 'o lanterns today.
These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It primarily a fun for children.
Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead of worrying about evil Trang 4/5
