Read the following text and answer the questions below. Process of making a phone call To make a phone call to different provinces or countries, you need to know the areas, provinces and country access and code numbers of those areas. To make a call to other provinces within Laos, you need to dial the provincial access number first (0), then the area code, and then the local number. Making a call to Luang Prabang, for instance, you need to dial: 0 + 71 + 123456 (six digits for a landline phone). However, to make a call to or from a mobile phone, the area codes of all provinces is 20. This means that you have to dial: 0 + 20 + 12345678 (eight digits for a mobile phone). If you want to make a call from overseas to Lao P.D.R, the country access Unit 8 99

number is 856. The following process is necessary for you to follow when making a call from area to areas.

The most popular everyday cards include birthday, anniversary, get well, friendship, sympathy, retirement, thinking of you, thank you, and many other occasions. The most popular seasonal cards are: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and New Year. Anniversary greeting cards are especially popular. We can find many types of these cards. They are specifically designed for particular anniversaries, for example: greeting cards to wives from husbands, or parents from children. Thinking of you and friendship greeting cards are great for letting someone know we care about them. It is true when people get greeting cards they are happy to know that someone cares. Mother’s Day is a great time for letting our mother, or anyone who has acted like our mother know how much we care about her by sending her a greeting card.

Read and answerສະຫງວນລິສຂ.ະວ.ສິສດ Answer the questions - Where do you go shopping? - How many places are there to go shopping in Vientiane? Read the text and answer the questions below. These days people can have more shopping options. They can go shopping in their local markets, big markets in the town and in the shopping centres in Vientiane Capital. We asked four people to tell us where and why they love to go shopping. Souvannaly from Savannakhet I live in Nongviengkham village, but I usually go shopping at DongDok market. In this market, I can find enough products necessary for me and my family for daily consumption. I really love visiting this market because it offers a variety of products from fashionable clothes to local products that are much cheaper here. I go to this market almost every day to buy food- especially vegetables, fish and poultry. I think the food at the market is fresh and organic. I sometimes shop at Talat Sao Mall, Khouadinh and Thongkhankham markets for better quality products like clothes, electric appliances, household goods and electronic devices. Yamane from Japan I work for the JICA Project for Laos and live in Thatkao village. My favourite places to shop are Talat Sao Mall and the shops on the road along the Mekong River. In Talat Sao Mall, I can buy clothes and leather products from Thailand, CDs, DVDs and souvenirs that are much cheaper than in Unit 9 118

ສະຫງວນລິສຂ.ະວ.ສິສດJapan. I really love shopping in Vientiane because I can bargain the price, something I cannot do in Japan. My best time to go shopping in Vientiane is during the celebration of all festivals. Somphone - a student from Phongsaly Shopping in Vientiane capital is a challenge for me because I have to spend more money than when I shop in Phongsaly. I love to go shopping in the local markets because I can save rather than go shopping in the big markets and shopping centre like Talat Sao Mall and Lao ITEC (International Trade Exhibition Centre). However, it’s great for me to go to Talat Sao Mall because I can buy many reasonable quality products that I cannot find in my province. Questions: 1.

Read and answer Read the text and answer the questions below. Manivone’s spending behaviour I have to spend a lot of money on food, groceries, household goods, clothes and stationery for my children every year. So I pay very careful attention to prices. I have to know what prices I expect to pay for these items. I usually spend about 45,000 kip for a kilo of beef, 35,000 kip for a kilo of chicken and 70,000 kip for 5 kilos of washing pounder. I also spend 150,000 kip for the electricity bill and 100,000 kip for water supply a month. I pay about 1,000,000 kip for my two children’s clothes and stationery, and 500,000 kip for household goods a year. By knowing the normal prices of different products, I don’t have to pay too much money on Unit 9 123

ສະຫງວນລິສຂ.ະວ.ສິສດthem. Knowing different markets helps me find the best prices to pay for. For example, local shops and markets have very good prices for food, clothes, stationery for children and groceries, while the big shopping centres like Talat Sao Mall, Sangjieng and NongDouang markets have very good prices for household goods and electric appliances. I also ask the prices from my friends or neighbours before spending my money. In one month, I may visit three to four markets to look for reasonable items that I regularly use. I always walk around and stop at many stores to compare prices for the items I need. I am a very price conscious person, so I don’t waste money on buying things. I find that attention to prices is the best way for me to spend less on advertised products. Questions: 1. Why does Manivone always walk around and stop at many shops? ……………………………………………………………………… 2. Why is paying attention to prices very important for Manivone? ……………………………………………………………………… 3. How much does Manivone have to pay for two kilos of beef? ……………………………………………………………………… 4.

The 25th Southeast Asian games (SEA Games) was held in Vientiane, Laos in December 2009. This was the first time Laos hosted the SEA Games. Previously, Laos declined to host the 1965 Southeast Asian Peninsular games because of financial difficulties. The Lao government decided to host the 25th SEA Games in the hope of boosting the social-economic development of the country. The SEA Games will help expose Lao culture and traditions to the world. A new stadium was built on the 13th South Road at KM 16. It was a sports complex that can organize many sports games at the same time. The mascots for the 2009 SEA Games were two white elephants dressed in traditional Lao attire. The male elephant was named Champa and the female elephant was named Champi. The two white elephants symbolized Laos as it was known as the kingdom of Lane Xang in ancient times, which literally meant \"the kingdom of a million elephants\" when translated into English. The mascots were depicted as being cheerful, which was an important part in making the sports competitions joyful and lively. Lao people were very excited to welcome their guests from ASEAN member countries. Athletes from ASEAN member countries were Unit 10 127

welcomed at Wattay International Airport by the Lao SEA Games committee and then they were sent to the SEA Games campus near The National University of Laos. The Lao government encouraged Lao people to be a good host of the 25th SEA Games. Lao people were enthusiastic about the event as they saw their guests from neighbouring countries. They expressed their friendly culture to their visitors who were overwhelmed by the kindness, charm, and hospitality of Lao people. Questions: 1.

On weekends, I always watch football matches of the English Premier League. Every weekend after dinner, I usually watch football matches from 7:30 to 11:00 p m. My favourite team is Arsenal or ‘the Gunners’. Last Sunday, I watched the big match between Arsenal and Liverpool at Emirates Stadium. There were about 80,000 fans in the stadium. They cheered their own teams by waving the flag of their teams and made a wave around the stadium. In the first half, Torres, a Liverpool striker, dribbled the ball past Arsenal full-back and shot it past the goalkeeper into the net. After Liverpool’s lead of 1-0, Arsenal fought back and controlled the game. At the 44th minute Arshavin an Arsenal striker got the ball crossed in by Fabricas and shot it into the net. The first half ended with a 1-1 draw. In the second half, the game was opened, and the two teams exchanged their attacks. It was a fantastic game because both teams had very good teamwork.
