answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
Throughout Asia, marriage behaviour and family life are changing. Young people are getting
married later than previous generations. Couples have fewer children, and more married women are working
outside the home. Such trends were first observed in Japan and more recently in South Korea, Taiwan, and
Singapore. Similar patterns are starting to emerge in other Asian countries. However, other aspects of family
life in Asia are still quite different from the way family institutions have developed in the West. Fewer
Asian couples live together outside marriage, and childbearing outside marriage is extremely rare. Marriage
is generally viewed as a permanent arrangement, and divorce rates, although rising, are still quite low in
most Asian societies.
The traditional family structures of Southeast Asia are more varied. Among the large populations of
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, young couples typically establish their own
independent households, or a man may move in with his wife’s parents, at least for a while. At marriage, the
husband’s family often makes a gift to the family of the wife. Although most young couples establish a
home of their own, the youngest daughter and her husband may stay with her parents to look after them in
their old age and eventually inherit their property.

answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Blues is a kind of slow sad music with strong rhythms. It was developed by African-American
musicians in the American South. Early blues often took the form of a story about the unkind treatment
experienced by African Americans. Many elements of the blues have grown from the music of Africa and
religious music.
The blues started at the end of the 19th century and the first blues sheet music appeared at the
beginning of the 20th century. Since then, it has developed into many styles such as country blues and urban
blues. Several decades later, electric blues with electrical equipment replaced traditional blues. At the same
time, the blues also reached a wider audience, especially white listeners. A mixture of blues styles and rock
music, called blues rock, appeared in the 60s and 70s of the last century."
