HSK2 (Level 2) Reading and Listening Practice Part 1

Một hôm Thỏ mẹ dặn Thỏ con: 
-" Thỏ con của mẹ, con ở nhà chớ đi chơi xa con nhé"
-" Vâng ạ, con ở nhà, con không đi chơi xa"
Nhưng Bươm bướm bay đến, Bươm bướm gọi:
-" Thỏ con ơi, ra vườn kia chơi đi. Ở đấy có cỏ này, có hoa này, thích lắm"
Thỏ con liền chạy theo Bươm bướm. Thỏ con đi chơi mãi, chơi mãi, xa, thật xa.
Thế rồi Thỏ con quên cả lối về nhà. Thỏ con khóc hu hu và gọi:
-" Mẹ ơi, mẹ ơi"
Bác Gấu đi qua, thấy Thỏ con khóc, Bác dắt Thỏ con về nhà. Thỏ mẹ chạy ra ôm Thỏ con.
Thỏ con nói với mẹ:
-" Mẹ, mẹ dặn con ở nhà, con lại đi chơi xa, con xin lỗi mẹ"

【电灯泡】
这个词有两个意思，一个是指灯，另一个是指在不合适的时间出现的人。

比如：
Lisa:  嗨，Lily,今晚我男朋友约我一起出去吃饭，你和我一起去吧。

 Lily:  额...还是算了吧，我就不要去当电灯泡了。你们两人去就好了，路上注意安全。

Ən gözəl hədiyyə

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.
