VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each question.
For formal ceremonies, men would have two additional items, a long gown with slits on either
side, and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or silk. In feudal times, there were
strict dress codes. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear clothes with dyes rather than black,
brown or white. Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King. Those in purple and red were
reserved for high - ranking court officials, while dresses in blue were exclusively worn by petty
court officials. Men's dress has gradually changed along with social development.
The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to more modern-looking suits,
while business shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts and wide trousers.
Traditional costumes still exist and efforts are increasingly being made to restore traditional
festivals and entertainment which incorporate traditional costumes.
For women, the outer garment is a special silk gown called an ―ao tu than‖ which is brown
or light brown in colour with four slits divided equally on its lower section. The second layer is a
gown in a light yellow colour and the third layer is a pink gown. When a woman wears her three
gowns, she fastens the buttons on the side, and leave those on the chest unfastened so that it
forms a shaped collar. This allows her to show the different colors on the upper part of the three
gowns. Today, on formal occasions women wear ―ao dai‖.
