Water puppetry (Múa rối nước) is a treasured traditional art form that dates back to the 11th century in the villages of the Red River Delta in northern Viet Nam. Born from the wet-rice civilization, peasants originally created this unique entertainment when their rice paddies were flooded after heavy seasonal rains. Instead of performing on a dry stage, puppeteers stand waist-deep in water behind a split-bamboo screen and skilfully manipulate wooden puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms hidden beneath the water's surface. As a result, the puppets appear to glide magically across the water.

Each puppet is carved from fig wood—a light, water-resistant timber—and then coated with multiple layers of colourful lacquer to protect it from rotting. A traditional performance is always accompanied by a live folk orchestra playing instruments such as wooden bells (mõ), drums, bamboo flutes, cymbals, and the đàn bầu (monochord). Singers, known as chèo vocalists, sit at the side of the stage to narrate the stories, sing folk verses, and even interact humorously with the puppets.

The themes of water puppet shows mostly revolve around rural daily life, such as ploughing fields with buffaloes, catching frogs, fishing, and village festivals, alongside ancient legends like King Le Loi returning the magical sword to the Golden Turtle in Hoan Kiem Lake. Today, water puppetry is not as confined to rural village ponds as it used to be; it has become a world-renowned cultural attraction performed daily in professional theatres for both domestic and international audiences.

Question 92. How do puppeteers control the puppets during a show?

Question 93. The word "manipulate" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

In recent years, Service-Learning has become an integral part of the curriculum at many high-quality lower secondary schools across Viet Nam. Unlike occasional charity drives where students simply donate old clothes or pocket money, Service-Learning combines classroom academic knowledge with meaningful community action. For example, after learning about environmental biology and plant nutrition in Science lessons, seventh-grade students might design a project to turn an abandoned neighbourhood plot into an organic community garden that supplies fresh vegetables to a local nursing home.

Research shows that participating in well-structured community service brings immense benefits to adolescents. First, it fosters empathy and civic responsibility. When teenagers tutor disadvantaged children at an orphanage or read newspapers to the elderly, they gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by others in society. Second, it enhances essential soft skills such as teamwork, time management, problem-solving, and public speaking—skills that are just as crucial as academic grades for their future success.

Moreover, engaging in outdoor volunteer activities has a positive impact on teenagers' physical and mental health. Spending weekend mornings planting trees or cleaning up beaches reduces screen time, increases physical activity, and lowers stress hormone levels. Psychologists call this the "helper's high"—a warm feeling of happiness and self-worth that people experience when they do something kind for others without expecting anything in return.

Question 96. How does Service-Learning differ from traditional charity drives according to paragraph 1?

Question 97. The word "fosters" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 98. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
