TEXAS

A Texas middle school is under fire after students say they have been banned from speaking Spanish in class. The students say their principal announced the rule last month over the intercom. Inside the walls of Hemptead Middle School, a language controversy is brewing. “There’s one teacher that said, „If you speak Spanish in my class, I’m gonna write you up,” 8th grader Tiffani Resurez says. Four students say their principal’s announcement – banning them from speaking Spanish in class – has given teachers and fellow students a hall pass to discriminate. “She was like, „No speaking Spanish.’ She told me that. I was like, „That’s my first language.’ She said, „Well, you can get out,” fellow classmate Yedhany Gallegos says. A letter sent home by the superintendent says, “Neither the district nor any campus has any policy prohibiting the speaking of Spanish.” The four students feel that the statement from the superintendent has not been made entirely clear that their school. “People don’t want to speak it anymore and don’t want to get caught speaking it because they’re going to get into trouble,” 6th grader Kiara Lozano says. Parents, like Cynthia Zamora, believe the school is not getting to the root of the problem. She wants to know why the “No Spanish” announcement was ever made in the first place. “I was very surprised that she would even go to such lengths,” Zamora says. Many students at the school grew up speaking Spanish at home, and they say it often comes as second nature when they’re talking to each other at school. “I’m not scared. I’m gonna keep speaking my language. That’s my first language, and I’m gonna keep doing it,” Lozano said. The principal has been placed on paid administrative leave while the district investigates. A spokewoman for Hempstead Independent School District has released a statement saying, in part, “The district is committed to efficiently and effectively resolving this matter with as little disruption to our students and their learning environment as possible.”

TEXAS

Một trường trung học ở Texas đang bị lên án sau khi học sinh nói rằng họ đã bị cấm nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha trong lớp. Các sinh viên nói rằng hiệu trưởng của họ đã công bố quy tắc vào tháng trước về hệ thống liên lạc nội bộ. Bên trong những bức tường của trường trung học Heemead, một cuộc tranh cãi về ngôn ngữ đang diễn ra. Một giáo viên dạy tiếng Anh nói: "Nếu em nào nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha trong lớp của tôi, tôi sẽ lập biên bản cho em,” học sinh lớp 8 Tiffani Resurez nói. Bốn học sinh nói rằng thông báo chính của họ - cấm họ nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha trong lớp - đã cho giáo viên và học sinh vượt qua để phân biệt đối xử. Cô ấy giống như, “Không nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha.” Cô ấy nói với tôi điều đó. Tôi giống như, “Đó là ngôn ngữ mẹ đẻ của em”. Cô ấy nói, “Vậy thì, em có thể ra ngoài”, bạn cùng lớp của Yedhany Gallegos nói. Một bức thư của quản lý gửi về nhà viết rằng, “không phải khu học chánh hay khu học xá nào cũng có bất kỳ chính sách nào cấm nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha”. Bốn học sinh cảm thấy rằng tuyên bố của quản lý đã không được làm rõ hoàn toàn rằng trường của họ. “Mọi người không còn muốn nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha nữa và cũng không muốn bị bắt vì họ sẽ gặp rắc rối,” học sinh lớp 6 Kiara Lozano nói. Phụ huynh, như Cynthia Zamora, tin rằng trường học không đi đến gốc rễ của vấn đề. Cô ấy muốn biết lý do tại sao thông báo đầu tiên của “không được nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha” được đưa ra ngay từ đầu. Tôi đã rất ngạc nhiên khi cô ấy thậm chí sẽ đi những quãng đường dài như vậy, Zam Zamora nói. Nhiều học sinh trong trường lớn lên nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha ở nhà, và họ nói rằng nó rất tự nhiên khi họ nói chuyện với nhau ở trường. "Tôi không sợ. Tôi sẽ tiếp tục nói ngôn ngữ của mình. Đó là ngôn ngữ mẹ đẻ, và tôi sẽ tiếp tục thực hiện nó.” Hiệu trưởng đã được nghỉ phép hành chính có lương trong khi quận điều tra. Một nữ phát ngôn viên của Học khu độc lập Hempstead đã đưa ra một tuyên bố rằng, một phần, “Học khu cam kết giải quyết vấn đề này một cách hiệu quả nhất và với ít sự gián đoạn nhất đối với học sinh và môi trường học tập của chúng.”

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.

Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, it’s a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.

At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear”, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey” - an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.

There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said

What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters

B. To state the qualifications of an interpreter

C. To point out the importance of an interpreter

Dịch bài

Chỉ đơn giản là song ngữ không đủ điều kiện cho một người nào đó để phiên dịch. Phiên dịch không chỉ là một quá trình cơ học để chuyển một câu thành ngôn ngữ A sang cùng một câu trong ngôn ngữ B. Thay vào đó, đó là một nghệ thuật phức tạp, trong đó các ý nghĩ và thành ngữ không có bản tương ứng rõ ràng từ ngôn ngữ này đến ngôn ngữ khác ¬¬_ hoặc những từ có nhiều ý nghĩa phải được chuyển đổi nhanh chóng theo cách sao cho thông điệp được trình bày rõ ràng và chính xác cho người nghe.

Tại một cuộc hội thảo quốc tế, một diễn giả người Mỹ đã nói, "You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear", điều đó không có nghĩa gì đối với khán giả Tây Ban Nha. Phiên dịch ra sẽ là, "A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey" - một thành ngữ mà người Tây Ban Nha hiểu và thể hiện cùng một ý nghĩa.

Có 2 loại phiên dịch viên, đồng thời và nối tiếp. Loại được nhắc đến trước, họ ngồi ở một căn buồng riêng biệt, thường là tại một hội nghị đa ngôn ngữ lớn, nói chuyện với người nghe đeo tai nghe, giải thích những gì mà một người nói tiếng nước ngoài nói thực sự một câu sau đó. Phiên dịch viên nối tiếp là những người mà các cuộc đàm phán quốc tế hay sử dụng nhất. Họ được thuê cho các cuộc họp nhỏ hơn mà không có buồng âm thanh và tai nghe. Phiên dịch nối tiếp cũng yêu cầu nhóm 2 người. Một người nói tiếng nước ngoài nói phần của anh ta trong khi người phiên dịch, sử dụng một ký tự đặc biệt, ghi chép và trong thời gian tạm dừng, nói lại với khách hàng những gì đã được nói

*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 24 to 30.

  Twenty-five students from Walling School are currently living in France. They are there for three months as part of a living-abroad project. The 16- and 17-year-old students are living with French families and attending a French school. Most of the students have taken French language classes for 3 or 4 years and are finally getting an opportunity to use their French.

  Not only are students learning a new language, but they are learning about a new culture, too. Students have been particularly surprised about the French attitude towards food. “They won’t leave anything on their plate,” says Vanessa Athol. “They aren’t wasteful at all.” Vanessa has vowed to be more careful with waste when returning to the United States.

  The group’s chaperone, Mrs. Smith, has been pleased with the students’ acquisition of language. “Even the most timid are trying their best to speak. The students are learning a lot. I’m very impressed,” she said. Mrs. Smith added that she thinks living with a French family makes a difference because students are forced to speak French. “We are all very grateful to the French families who are hosting us.”

  The French families are happy to have the students, as they are getting to leam about American culture. Both groups will be celebrating the exchange at a large potluck dinner at the end of the stay. There will be a slide show of memories and the students will speak about their experiences. Currently, the American students are periodically posting pictures and student essays on the Walling School website. “Living in France is an experience I’ll never forget,” writes student Tina Davis. “I know I’ll want to eat these croissants and this Camembert for the rest of my life!”
