Bài 1 :

Ca Tru was also called “Hat A Dao” or “Hat Noi”. Originally, attractive young female singers entertained men in a relaxed environment, sometimes serving drinks and snacks. Men might have visited a “Hat A Dao” in with friends to celebrate a successful business deal or the birth of a son.

Ca Tru flourished in the 15th century in northern Vietnam when it was popular with the royal palace and a favourite hobby of aristocrats and scholars.

Later, it was performed in communal houses, inns, and private homes, and gained its high popularity.

These performances were mostly for men. When men entered a Ca Tru inn, they purchased bamboo tally cards. In Chinese Vietnamese, “tru” means “card”, and “ca” means “song” in Vietnamese, so the name Ca Tru means tally card songs. The tallies were given to the singers in appreciation for the performance. After the performance each singer received payment in proportion to the number of cards received.

Ca Tru requires at least three performers. The singer is always a woman and plays the “phach”, an instrument made of wood or bamboo that is beaten with two wooden sticks. A musician accompanies the singer on the “dan day”, a long-necked lute with three silk strings and 10 frets. There is also a drummer or “trong chau”. The drummer shows his approval of the singer or the songs depending on how he hits the drum. If he likes a song, he might hit the side of the drum twice. The “dan day” player must follow the rhythm of the “phach”. His instrument, the “dan day”, is only used in Ca Tru and is now made almost exclusively for sale to tourists.

a. Most have a positive view of the British overall. _____

b. More than half have a better opinion of the British now that they live in the country. _____

How foreigners see the British

What is a typical British person like? People who come to Britain from other countries probably have a few expectations: British people are polite, rather reserved, and enjoy drinking tea and standing in queues! But how accurate is this stereotype? In an online survey of 1402 foreign nationals living in the UK, just over half said that the British matched their expectations.

The survey also asked which aspects of the British character the foreign nationals liked and disliked. British people's good manners were popular with 49% and 40% liked the ability to queue. Many agreed that the British are reserved and for 32% this was a good quality but for 19% it was negative. Other negative aspects were the British sense of humour (31%) and British culture in general (28%). However, 77% said they liked British people in general and 61% said that their opinion of the British got better as a result of living in the UK. 

A spokesman for the researchers said: People probably come to Britain with a stereotype of what to expect. It’s good to see that, for the majority, the reality is better than the stereotype.'

The Mường people

In the mountains of Northern Vietnam live the Mường people, one of the largest ethnic groups in the country. The Mường often live in stilt houses in villages. They live mainly by growing rice and raising poultry and cattle. They have their own language and traditions and are known as friendly and welcoming people.

In modern life, many of the Mường people still make their clothes themselves. They need to be very creative, talented and patient because their clothes have colourful patterns on them, which are difficult to make and take a lot of skill and time. Mường women often wear a long black skirt, a white shirt and a plain or colourful headscarf. Men often wear a long white shirt with dark trousers.

The Mường people have their own style of music and they play the gong, one of the traditional musical instruments of the Mường culture. There are songs for special occasions, such as moving into a new home, and songs with stories about the history of the Mường. The Mường people are proud of their traditions and culture.

Native Americans

Thousands of years before the Europeans came to America, the people now called Native Americans lived there.

A

 

 The Native Americans lived in tents called tepees, which they made from animal skins and tree branches. They hunted animals for food, such as deer and buffalo, and were also excellent farmers. They even grew different plants to make medicine. They also made beautiful pottery and jewellery.

B

 

The Native Americans enjoyed music. They played drums and wooden flutes. Dancing was important to their culture, too. When the weather was too hot and dry, they would come together for a ‘rain dance’, which they believed made the rain fall.

C

 

Native Americans did not travel on horseback until the 1600s, when Europeans brought over horses on ships. Before this, Native Americans did not travel. They sent messages to each other from far away by using smoke signals. They used this system to communicate with people up to 50 miles away!

Today, there are only around five million Native Americans living in the United States. Although they have a more modern lifestyle, they still try to keep their traditions alive.

Glastonbury Festival

The UK has some fantastic music festivals, but which one is the favourite of British fans? It’s definitely Glastonbury! It takes place at the end of June every year in Pilton, Somerset, England.

The first festival happened in 1970. It lasted two days and tickets cost just £1 each – plus every festivalgoer got free milk from the farm! Only 1,500 people came that year, but it was the start of something very special. These days, a ticket to stay the whole five days costs over £200. The price doesn’t put people off, however – around 200,000 people attend every year, and tickets sell out in about 30 minutes!

The great music is only part of the Glastonbury experience. Festival-goers camp in tents around the farm and stay up all night dancing. Of course, they have to be prepared for the British weather. It often rains, and there is a lot of mud, so a pair of wellies* is essential! But at Glastonbury, people don’t mind the bad weather. They love nature and care about the environment. In fact, Glastonbury has been a plasticfree festival since 2019, when the organisers decided to stop selling food and drinks in plastic containers.

It’s hard to say what makes Glastonbury a better music festival than all the others. Is it the bands, or perhaps the location? British singer Elly Jackson (La Roux) thinks it’s the atmosphere. “Festivals all have one,” she says, “but Glastonbury has something other festivals will never have.”

*wellies: waterproof boots, short for Wellington boots

1. Glastonbury is an arts festival. _____

2. Tickets for the first festival in 1970 were free. _____

3. The festival now lasts five days. _____

4. The festival doesn’t take place in bad weather. _____

5. Since 2019, organisers haven’t sold food and drinks in plastic containers at the festival. _____

VIỆT NAM

 The house-warming ritual is very important to the Vietnamese. According to tradition, the homeowner invites people to celebrate a new house. Traditionally, the Vietnamese believe new houses are cold and need to be warmed up with occupants. The purpose of the ritual is to bring warmth and good luck. Guests generally bring useful gifts and offer good wishes. The host introduces the guests to the rooms, functions of each room, materials, and the design of the new house. After that, they enjoy a feast together.

THE US

In the US, new homeowners often throw a house-warming party. They invite family, friends, and new neighbours to come. The parties are held 2-3 weeks after the new owner moves in. The house should be ready and look like a nice place to live. Generally, the homeowners send out invitations which should include the date and time of the event. However, they are careful not to invite too many guests, so people have a place to gather.

The Japanese people have one of the healthiest diets in the world. They eat three meals in a day, but breakfast is their biggest meal of the day. They eat a well-balanced diet of fish, vegetables, fruit, soy, and rice. They do not like packaged and canned food as well as processed food and instant food as they are not good for their health. Besides eating fresh food, they also do not use much oil in their cooking. They often stew, steam, and grill their food rather than to deep-fry it. Vegetable broth is known as the base of many dishes. Japanese people rarely eat desserts. If they do, they like to have healthy ingredients like red beans. Finally, they do not overeat. They prefer to have small portions and are more likely to eat little pieces slowly. Eating is more like a ritual than a feast.
