Hồng: No, it wasn't. It was Machu Picchu that we saw.

Hải: Oh yes, now I remember. That was the Aztec city the Spanish destroyed in the 1500s, right?

Hồng: No, that was in Mexico. Machu Picchu was built by the Incas in the 1400s as an estate for their emperor. An American archaeologist found it in 1911. But it wasn't until 1983 that it was declared a World Heritage site.

Phương pháp giải

Tạm dịch:

Hải: Xin lỗi, tớ quên mất. Có phải đó là Hồ Titicaca mà bạn đã đến thăm ở Peru?

Hồng: Không, không phải đâu. Đó là Machu Picchu mà chúng ta đã thấy.

Hải: À vâng, giờ tớ mới nhớ ra. Đó là thành phố Aztec mà người Tây Ban Nha đã phá hủy vào những năm 1500 phải không?

Hồng: Không, đó là ở Mexico. Machu Picchu được người Inca xây dựng vào những năm 1400 như một tài sản dành cho hoàng đế của họ. Một nhà khảo cổ học người Mỹ đã tìm thấy nó vào năm 1911. Nhưng mãi đến năm 1983, nó mới được công nhận là Di sản Thế giới.

Heritage sites in Viet Nam

(Các điểm di sản ở Việt Nam)

1. Listen and read. 

(Nghe và đọc.)


Ms Hoa: Good morning, everyone. As part of our school cultural programme, we need to plan a field trip to a heritage site in Viet Nam. So, where would you like to go?

Petter: Do you have any suggestions for us, Ms Hoa?

Ms Hoa: I'd recommend Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. It’s the only place in Southeast Asia to be recognised as a mixed heritage site by UNESCO.

Peter: What's a mixed heritage site?

Ms Hoa: It's a site that has both natural and cultural importance. For example, you can go on a boat trip there to enjoy the beautiful landscape. Or you can visit the old temples and monuments to learn about Vietnamese history.

Anna: That sounds interesting, but if we want to learn about cultural values of the past, where should we go?

Ms Hoa: You can go to Hoi An Ancient Town in central Viet Nam. You'll learn about urban lifestyles and traditions from the 15th to the 19th century and will see examples of ancient architecture. All buildings are kept in their original state. It’s a great place to explore.

Anna: Wow! That's exciting. What about southern Vietnam?

Ms Hoa: You can go to the Mekong River Delta to enjoy don ca tai tu - a form of traditional folk singing. Local artists perform don ca tai tu everywhere - at parties, in fruit gardens, even on the floating market boats.

Peter: It’s a great way to promote this kind of cultural heritage of southern Viet Nam.

Ms Hoa: Indeed. Now, please discuss in your group and let me know your field trip ideas.

PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE

Ideas from teenagers

To encourage young people to learn about and appreciate our cultural heritage, we organised an ideas competition. We invited students from across the country to send us their ideas for protecting and promoting our heritage. We have received many interesting entries. Below are the winners.

A. _________________

The idea of promoting heritage sites through social media came from a group of 11th grade students. They suggested using social media activities, such as photo competitions, to encourage young people to learn about our heritage sites and local traditions on important festivals. They also suggested creating trending topics or challenges on social media. For example, a postcard challenge will invite people to create and share unusual and exciting postcards about the heritage sites that they have visited.

B. _________________

Two 10th grade students suggested forming historical societies or local groups who have akeen interest in their history and heritage. These groups will provide information about local heritage sites, organise special events to celebrate local festivals, and invite young people to discuss issues related to preserving the heritage. This way, they will be able to give voice to suggestions and solutions to problems they care about. They will feel that their voices are heard, and they can contribute to society.

C. _________________

To preserve heritage, such as traditional music and stories, a group of secondary school students proposed setting up folk clubs. The clubs will hold events for young people to experience and learn about traditional performing arts. The artists will not only perform, but also introduce their arts and talk about how students can help promote folk culture. The clubs will organise training for students who want to learn folk songs, a traditional musical instrument, or folk dancing.

PRESERVING HERITAGE AROUND THE WORLD

Crowdfunding for heritage!

Preserving their heritage can present a challenge to many nations, especially if they have a large number of heritage sites, like Italy does. However, the country has found a new method of raising money for heritage projects from a large number of individuals and businesses - crowdfunding. For example, loveitaly, a non-profit organisation, uses its website to reach all the people around the world who love Italy, and collects donations from everyone who wants to help. One of their first success stories was raising enough money to restore an ancient site in Pompeii.

Strict heritage laws

In Australia, individuals and companies have to pay a fine of AUS1,000 to AUS5,000 for any damage to heritage sites or objects, regardless of whether they can be repaired. In some cases, the fines are heavier, and people could even face time in prison. The authorities hope the harsher punishments can stop people from destroying or damaging it cultural sites and items, and prevent heritage crime.

Tourism works!

Spain is one of the countries that has successfully promotedits cultural heritage through tourism. For many years, festivals such as La Tomatina (in which people throw tomatoes at each other) or Las Fallas (a five-day festival of fireworks and light shows) in Valencia have attracted millions of local and foreign tourists. The unique architecture in Barcelona, home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and Santiago de Compostela’s Old Town, which is also on the world heritage list, are famous all over the world.

1. raises money from the public for restoring its heritage?

2. organises successful festivals that attract visitors from around the world?

3. fines people heavily if they damage its heritage?

DON CA TAI TU: THE VOICE OF THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE

Recognised as UNESCO's world cultural heritage in 2013, don ca tai tuhas been an important part of people’s life and work in the Mekong River Delta region.

A. _________________

Having appeared in the late 19th century, don ca tai tu became a popular art formin southern Viet Nam. It started as daily entertainment for the village farmers, who were good neighbours and close friends. After working hard in the fields, the neighbours usually gathered together to sing and relax. This was the time when people started performing this kind of music.

B. _________________

Typically, the men in the group play the instruments while the women sing. Most of the musicians and singers are not professionally trained; they are just music lovers performing with all their heart. They usually perform at events such as weddings and traditional festivals, and the melodies express different moods and feelings. 

C. _________________

Today, tourists can enjoy don ca tai tu performances in southern Viet Nam, where local artists perform at floating markets or in fruit gardens. Such performances help preserve the art form and allow artists to reach a wider audience, including people from around the world.

VIET NAM – Culture and customs

Viet Nam is a multi-racial country with 54 ethnic groups. More than 85% of Viet Nam's population is the Kinh people who mainly inhabit the Red River delta, the central coastal delta, the Mekong delta and major cities. The rest of Viet Nam's population, about 8 million, is scattered in mountainous areas around the country and makes up the other 53 ethnic groups. Major ethnic groups include Tay and Nung (in North East provinces), Thai and Muong people (in Phu Tho Province, Hoa Binh Province), Hoa (around Viet Nam), Khmer (in the Mekong Delta). All ethnic groups in Viet Nam have achieved high levels of development in terms of culture and social strata.

Ethnic groups have distinct cultures and customs. Take marriage practices and weddings as an example. On arrival at the groom's house, a bride in the Nung people pours a bottle of water into a saucepan, which symbolises hard work and dedication to the family. Meanwhile, a wedding ceremony of the Tay people is characterised by a lot of singing known as "hat quan lang". A Thai man usually stays with and works for his fiancé's family for 3 years before the wedding ceremony. Varied as the customs are, they all mean blessings to the newly-weds in their marriage life.

a. Read the blog post very quickly. Which year was Son Doong first explored?

(Đọc bài viết trên blog rất nhanh. Sơn Đoòng được khám phá lần đầu tiên vào năm nào?)

► What's new

Hey, everyone! It's Hùng here. I can't wait to tell you all what I've been up to. If you read my last blog, then you know I had a big problem. I needed to save money before going to university abroad. I hated being a waiter, and I wasn't good at my teaching assistant job, but I finally found something. I'm a tour guide with a company in Phong Nha-Ke Bang in Central Vietnam.

►Training

Before I could lead a tour, I had to train. The company taught us a lot about the endangered species here and safety in the jungle. We even practiced rock climbing. That was fun and exciting, but it was the photography training that I liked most.

We learned how to take cool photos of the park's most incredible places like Son Doong cave. It's the biggest cave in the world! It was only in 2009 that Son Doong was first explored. Can you believe it?

► Phong Nha

Phong Nha-Ke Bang is an impressive place. It's one of Vietnam's UNESCO natural world heritages. People travel here because of the rare karst landscapes. Over millions of years, water washed away some of the limestone and created unique towers and caves.   Vietnam has some of the biggest karst areas in the world. It’s their amazing karst landscape that make Phong Nha and Hạ Long Bay UNESCO Heritage Sites.

►Final thoughts

Working here for the last few months has been great. It's also been a nice break from busy city life. I'm learning a lot, meeting great people, and loving being around nature. I definitely recommend it!

Bài 17 :

a. Read the description of the old capital of Huế. What is the purpose of the text?

(Đọc đoạn văn tả cố đô Huế. Mục đích của văn bản là gì?)

1. to say what the writer likes about Huế (để nói những gì nhà văn thích về Huế)

2. to encourage people to visit Huế (khuyến khích mọi người đến thăm Huế)

Located beside the Hương River, the old capital of Huế was the home of the Nguyễn emperors. Built in the early 19th century, the walled city was a symbol of the emperor's power. The city was made with brick and stone. If you like history, you'll really like Huế.

When you first arrive, you should pass through Ngọ Môn, where the emperor would watch parades. The central gate was for the emperor only. Next, enter the Imperial City. Inside is the Ngũ Phụng Pavilion, which was originally only open to members of the Royal Family. After that, you should check out the Thái Hỏa Palace. It was used for important celebrations such as the Royal Family's birthdays. Finally, visit the Duyệt Thị Đường  Royal Theater. It's the oldest theater in Vietnam! When you're finished exploring the old capital, you should take a boat trip to visit the tombs of the emperors. Remember to bring an umbrella because it often rains in Huế.

You can fly to Huế from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. If you want to see more of the country, we recommend taking an overnight train. After you arrive in Hue, you can take a taxi, bike, or walk around the city. Remember to give yourself lots of time to try the specialty foods of Huế.

Tạm dịch:

Cố đô Huế nằm bên dòng sông Hương xưa, là nơi ở của các vua chúa nhà Nguyễn. Được xây dựng vào đầu thế kỷ 19, tường thành là biểu tượng quyền lực của hoàng đế. Thành phố được làm bằng gạch và đá. Nếu bạn thích lịch sử, bạn sẽ thực sự thích Huế.

Khi mới đến, bạn nên đi ngang qua Ngọ Môn, nơi hoàng đế xem duyệt binh. Cổng trung tâm chỉ dành cho hoàng đế. Tiếp theo, vào Thành phố Hoàng gia. Bên trong là Lầu Ngũ Phụng, ban đầu chỉ mở cửa cho các thành viên của Hoàng gia. Sau đó, bạn nên kiểm tra Cung điện Thái Hòa. Nó được sử dụng cho các lễ kỷ niệm quan trọng như sinh nhật của Hoàng gia. Cuối cùng, tham quan Nhà hát Hoàng gia Duyệt Thị Đường. Đó là nhà hát lâu đời nhất ở Việt Nam! Sau khi khám phá xong cố đô, bạn nên đi thuyền thăm lăng mộ của các vị hoàng đế. Nhớ mang ô vì ở Huế hay mưa.

Bạn có thể bay đến Huế từ Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh hoặc Hà Nội. Nếu bạn muốn khám phá thêm về đất nước này, chúng tôi khuyên bạn nên đi tàu qua đêm. Sau khi đến Huế, bạn có thể đi taxi, xe đạp hoặc đi bộ quanh thành phố. Hãy nhớ dành nhiều thời gian để thử các món ăn đặc sản của Huế.

The Historic City of Ayutthaya, Thailand

Located on an island just north of Bangkok, Thailand, is the ancient site of Ayutthaya, once one of the greatest cities of the world. From the 14th to 18th century, Ayutthaya developed into a busy city and became a centre for both trade and government. The city, which was the capital of Thailand, grew to be one of the largest cities in the world at the time with over one million people. 1_______ Soon after, Bangkok became the new capital city.

Today, the ancient ruins of the city are a UNESCO World Heritage Site because the city was an important part in the development of Thai history and culture. Many people say it is the birthplace of true national Thai art.  2_______ All gives an idea of how rich and modern the city once was.

Visitors to the site can walk around the ruins that have over 400 temples and towers to explore. Each is an incredible example of Thai architecture of that time. They can also admire many giant statues of Buddha around the city as well as the paintings inside the temples and buildings.

3_______ Archaeologists work to repair and protect the buildings and monuments in the park. Ayutthaya is one of the six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Thailand. People all around the world value its historical and cultural importance and try to protect it for future generations to enjoy.

Dear Mr Blackwell,

I am writing to you regarding the volunteer programme at the Prambanan Temple Compound in Indonesia. I am interested in becoming a volunteer and would like to have some information about the programme.

Firstly, do you know what kind of training volunteers get? I have never worked at a heritage site before and I am a bit nervous about what I should do.

Secondly, could you tell me more about the accommodation with the families? Do volunteers have roommates? I also want to know how far the accommodation is from the site.

Finally, I want to find out more about the participation fee. Can you let me know if there are any other costs during the programme? I need to know the total cost for the trip.

I look forward to your reply and learning more about the programme. It sounds like an excellent volunteering experience. Thank you in advance for the information.

Kind regards,

PRESERVING CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE ĐÔNG HỒ PAINTINGS OF VIETNAM

In the 16th century, artists in a small village called Đông Hồ in northern Vietnam started creating a special style of painting. The paintings showed the beautiful countryside, traditional customs, local stories and festivals. The highly-skilled artists used woodblocks with different bright colours to create paintings on a special type of paper-giấy điệp, which is made from the bark of Dó tree, powder of seashells and rice. They also used materials from nature such as trees, flowers and leaves to create the colours of the paint. Over time, the Vietnamese people bought the Đông Hồ paintings to celebrate the Lunar New Year. For good luck in the new year, they bought new Đông Hồ paintings to replace the old ones that decorated their house from the previous year. These paintings have become an important part of Vietnamese folk culture.

In the modern age, the demand for such paintings fell and there were fewer artists making paintings in the village. As a result, very few families today are creating the paintings. In order to help preserve the heritage of the Đông Hồ paintings and support the artists, there are now cultural heritage tours of the village. Tours of the area create interest in the art form from both local and international visitors. One of the artists created the Đông Hồ Paintings Preservation Centre, which displays over 200 paintings, and teaches visitors about the history of the paintings and how the artists make them. The centre and the artists are also working to teach this traditional form of art to younger generations.
