Read the following passage. Decide whether the statements from 13 to 16 are True or False and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) to complete the statements in the questions 17 and 18.
Traditional markets have long played an important role in Vietnamese commerce and community life. However, these bustling places are now facing an existential threat as consumers flock to online platforms. The convenience and competitive pricing of online shopping leaves age-old markets struggling to survive, forcing businesses to adapt or perish. Hà Nội’s historic wholesale markets, Đồng Xuân and Hôm markets, are typical of this transformation. “Customers buy everything online, and they don’t go to the market anymore,” one long-time clothing vendor said. Once-crowded aisles are now empty, and the chatter of bargaining has been replaced by the bored scrolling of vendors on their phones. This results from the difficulty of matching the aggressive pricing of online sellers. High overhead costs like rent, employee salaries and transportation have become too much of a heavy burden for vendors.
Another challenge faced by traditional retailers is their limited physical location. While online retailers can reach customers from all over the world, vendors at local markets only restricts their reach to a specific geographical area. Consumers living far from markets have to travel over a long distance to buy groceries. Such challenge requires vendors to expand their reach by offering online shopping options.
It is certain that the future of Việt Nam’s retail sector will be a combination of tradition and technology. The challenge for traditional markets is not just about survival; it is about finding ways to integrate and offer an experience e-commerce cannot replicate.

Communication in Vietnam has undergone remarkable transformations from the past to the present. In-person dialogues, handwritten letters and texting used to be dominant, but many tech-based forms have replaced them.
Traditional modes: During the late 20th century, Vietnam’s telecommunications industry was characterised by limited access to international channels and reliance on traditional forms such as face-to-face interactions and handwritten correspondence. Moreover, state-controlled media played an important role in disseminating information.
Mobile phones: Although the first mobile network officially began operation in 1993, it was not until the early 21st century that the explosion of mobile communication brought about a revolution. With their portability and affordability, they were commonly used to make calls and send messages whenever and wherever you are.
Modern-day communications: In recent years, Vietnam has embraced digital communication fully. Smartphones with high-speed internet connectivity offer instant access to information and connect individuals on a broader scale. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and Zalo, enable users to share news and send pictures with astonishing rapidity, as well as stay connected regardless of geographical distances.
Handwritten letters are no longer popular in the present.
The spread of the news was regulated by the government in the late 20th century.
