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 35 to 42.

Public holidays in the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as bank holidays, are days where most businesses and non – essential services are closed although an increasing number of retail businesses (especially the larger ones) do open on some of the public holidays. There are restrictions on trading on Sundays and Christmas Day. Four public holidays are common to all countries of the United Kingdom. These are: New Year's Day, the first Monday in May, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Some banks open on some bank holidays. In Scotland, while New Year's Day and Christmas Day are national holidays, other bank holidays are not necessarily public holidays, since the Scots instead observe traditional local customs and practice for their public holidays. In Northern Ireland, once again, bank holidays other than New Year's Day and Christmas Day are not necessarily public holidays. Good Friday and Christmas Day are common law holidays, except in Scotland, where they are bank holidays. In Scotland the holiday on 1 January (or 2 January if 1 January is Sunday) is statutory, and 25 December is also a statutory holiday (or 26 December if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their

bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. And 28 December only is given if Boxing Day is Saturday.

Like Denmark, the United Kingdom has no national day holiday marked or celebrated for its formal founding date. Increasingly, there are calls for public holidays on the patron saints' days in England, Scotland and Wales. An online petition sent to the Prime Minister received 11,000 signatures for a public holiday in Wales on St. David's Day; the Scottish Parliament has passed a bill creating a public holiday on St. Andrew's Day although it must be taken in place of another public holiday; campaigners in England are calling for a bank holiday on St. George's Day; and in Cornwall, there are calls for a public holiday on St. Piran's Day

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. If a holiday falls at the weekend, a substitute day is given in place

B. The British people will get 28 December off if Xmas Day is Sunday

C. The U.K. was founded on the same day with Denmark

D. Online petitions for more holidays are more effective than traditional campaigns

Câu nào có thể được suy ra từ đoạn văn?

A. Nếu một ngày nghỉ lễ rơi vào dịp cuối tuần, một ngày nghỉ bù sẽ được diễn ra.

B. Người Anh sẽ có ngày 28 tháng mười hai được nghỉ nếu ngày giáng sinh rơi vào chủ nhật.

C. Vương quốc Anh được thành lập cùng ngày với Đan Mạch.

D. Một kiến nghị trực tuyến cho nhiều ngày nghỉ hơn thì hiệu quả hơn các chiến dịch truyền thống.

Dịch bài đọc:

Ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng ở vương quốc Anh, thường được gọi là ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday (dành cho ngân hàng), là những ngày mà hầu hết các doanh nghiệp và các dịch vụ không thiết yếu đều đóng cửa, mặc dù vẫn có một số lượng đang tăng lên các doanh nghiệp bán lẻ (đặc biệt là những doanh nghiệp lớn) mở cửa vào một vài ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng. Có những hạn chế trong giao dịch vào các ngày chủ nhật và ngày giáng sinh. Bốn ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng chung cho các nước thuộc vương quốc Anh. Chúng là: ngày đầu năm mới, thứ hai đầu tiên trong tháng năm, ngày giáng sinh và ngày lễ Boxing Day (lễ tặng quà). Một vài ngân hàng vẫn mở cửa vào ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday. Ở Scotland, trong khi ngày đầu năm mới và ngày giáng sinh là những ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng, thì những ngày nghỉ Bank holiday khác không phải là những ngày nghỉ lễ cần thiết, bởi vì người Scotland theo các phong tục địa phương truyền thống và thực hiện nó trong các kì nghỉ lễ công cộng của họ. Ở Bắc Ireland, lại một lần nữa, các ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday khác hai ngày đầu năm mới và ngày giáng sinh cũng không phải là các ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng cần thiết. Ngày thứ sáu tốt lành và giáng sinh là những ngày nghỉ lễ theo luật chung, ngoại trừ ở Scotland, nơi chúng được xếp vào ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday. Ở Scotland ngày lễ vào ngày mùng 1 tháng một (hoặc mùng 2 tháng một nếu ngày mùng 1 tháng một rơi vào chủ nhật) thì là bắt buộc, và ngày 25 tháng mười hai cũng là một ngày nghỉ lễ bắt buộc (hoặc ngày 26 tháng mười hai nếu ngày giáng sinh rơi vào chủ nhật). Ngày lễ Boxing Day là một ngày nghỉ lễ truyền thống được tổ chức vào ngày sau ngày giáng sinh, khi mà những người phục vụ và những người giao hàng sẽ được nhận quà tặng, được biết đến như là “hộp quà giáng sinh”, từ những người sếp và ông chủ của họ. Ngày nay, ngày lễ Boxing Day là một ngày nghỉ lễ Bank holiday thường diễn ra vào ngày 26 tháng mười hai. Và là ngày 28 tháng mười hai chỉ khi dịp lễ này rơi vào thứ bảy.

Giống như Đan Mạch, vương quốc Anh không có ngày lễ quốc khánh mà được đánh dấu mốc hoặc được kỉ niệm cho ngày thành lập chính thức quốc gia. Ngày càng có nhiều lời kêu gọi cho ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng vào các ngày của các vị thánh bảo trợ ở Anh, Scotland và Wales. Một kiến nghị trực tuyến được gửi đến cho Thủ tướng đã nhận được 11,000 chữ ký cho một ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng ở Wales vào ngày thánh David; Quốc hội Scotland đã thông qua một dự luật tạo ra một ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng vào ngày thánh Andrew mặc dù nó phải được diễn ra vào ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng khác; các nhà vận động chiến dịch ở Anh đang kêu gọi một ngày nghỉ lễ ngân hàng vào ngày thánh George; và ở Cornwall, có những kêu gọi cho ngày nghỉ lễ công cộng vào ngày thánh Piran.
