AFTER GRAMMATICAL REVIEW

1/ The two Koreas will discuss an offer from Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s leader, to send an
Olympic delegation, but they may also touch on broader issues in a dialogue that raised hopes
for a thaw.

2/Supporters say the recently approved tax law will help American multinationals compete
more aggressively. Others see incentives to put factories overseas.

3/David Zwirner is planning a five-story, $50 million gallery that will become the heart of his
New York operation.

4/ Early Sunday morning, with temperatures in the single digits in the city, the subway became
the shelter of last resort for some of New York’s homeless. On just one E train at about 2:30
a.m., 45 homeless people had sought refuge from the longest spell of freezing days in New
York since 1961.

5/ There was a man with a trash bag filled with cans, and another man dozing next to a pizza
box. It was quiet and warm, and everyone was sleeping. A man with a cane had taken off his
soaked boots to dry his socks, and he briefly woke up.

6/ There are an estimated 3,900 unsheltered homeless people living around New York City,
according to the latest figures from 2017, a 40 percent increase over the previous year. In
normal weather, they sleep on the streets, in tunnels and overpasses, and in the subway. But
during extremely cold weather, more than usual descend into the subway, open and heated 24
hours a day, and transform its trains into rolling shelters.

7/ Failure to stop arriving international flights after a storm created a traffic jam at Kennedy
Airport, the New York City hub.

8/The harsh winter storm had passed. In its aftermath, parts of the airport were overloaded,
jammed with planes that had been kept on the ground during the storm. But screens showed
bright yellow airplane icons — incoming flights — approaching, with many more on the way.
One by one they landed. Unused runways became parking lots, with planes waiting for gates.
And still they kept coming. Hours and hours passed.
It was the failure to stop them, experts said, that turned a chaotic but manageable winter-
storm episode into an airport delay for the ages.
9/ A rolling cascade of emergencies brought about by human error and winter weather led to
the nightmarish long weekend, as thousands of travelers from around the world found
themselves trapped. And that was before frigid water from a burst pipe began raining from a
ceiling in Terminal 4, pooling amid the luggage of the stranded.
The turmoil was a reminder of the domino effect of air travel, and that the ripples from
complications at an airport that is a vital cog in the global travel network can quickly spread
across the world.

10/ Around the world, airlines were reading that forecast as a green light to take off for long
hauls to New York City. As late as 6:20 p.m., the Port Authority was still sending out tweets
that it expected to reopen Kennedy that night. But an hour later, close to 7:30 p.m., the Port
Authority decided to keep Kennedy closed until Friday morning. That meant that all of the
flights bound for Kennedy had to divert to other airports or turn around.
The sudden, unplanned detouring of all of those planes set off a chain reaction that stretched
to various continents and left Kennedy tied in knots for the next few days, with passengers
stranded in overcrowded terminals and on planes.

1/ Tục lì xì là một hoạt động giúp không khí Tết thêm vui tươi, náo nhiệt trong nhà. Trẻ con
được cho tiền thì mừng vui, đem đến nụ cười cho cả nhà ngày Tết. Hơn thế nữa, trẻ con
thường được dạy trước những câu chúc khi nhận bao lì xì, đó là những câu chúc tốt lành dành
cho cha mẹ ông bà và những người lớn trong nhà. Điều này mang ý nghĩa giáo dục trong gia
đình.
Ngoài ra, tục lì xì còn mang thêm ý nghĩa giao tiếp cộng đồng xã hội. Đến nhà bà con, bạn bè
chúc Tết, người ta cũng thường lì xì cho trẻ nhỏ trong nhà. Những điều trên đây mới là ý nghĩa
thực sự của tục lì xì.

2/ Xuất hiện cuối năm 2015, bao lì xì cách tân trở thành sản phẩm bắt mắt đối với các bạn trẻ
hai mùa Tết liên tiếp. Năm nay, phong cách mới lạ trở nên thịnh hành hơn.

3/ Điểm mới lạ của bao lì xì nằm ở những họa tiết. Khi mới tung ra thị trường, Cổ&Cũ nhận
được phản hồi rất tích cực từ khách hàng. Các mẫu họa tiết trẻ trung, vui nhộn, bắt kịp xu
hướng đã thu hút sự quan tâm lớn từ giới trẻ. Ngoài ra, những người lớn tuổi cũng hứng thú
với các mẫu đứng đắn như Tết An Nhiên, Đại Thành Công, Bolero…
4/ Muốn đánh giá những bao lì xì cách tân tác động như thế nào đến truyền thống tốt đẹp thì
phải so lại với những ý nghĩa trên. Hơn nữa, chỉ cần xem xét đối tượng: người tặng lì xì và
người nhận lì xì là ai, thì sẽ thấy ngay kiểu thiết kế và từ ngữ trên bao lì xì đó có phù hợp hay
không".
