DISCUSSION
1. Vietnam brings in fruits like apples, grapes, and oranges, along with vegetables such as potatoes and
carrots, seafood like salmon and shrimp, meats like beef and pork, dairy products, and nuts to meet
different tastes and ensure a steady food supply.
2. I do buy imported fresh food, especially fruits, vegetables, seafood, and certain meat and dairy
products, even though they can be more expensive. This is because they offer a wider range of options,
better quality, and are available throughout the year, matching various international dishes.
3. British people purchase food that has traveled long distances due to reasons like wanting diverse
options all year round, seeking variety, following cultural preferences, and sometimes because it's
cheaper to produce in other places.
4. Similarly, in Vietnam, it's common for people to buy food that has traveled long distances for reasons
such as having access to a variety of options throughout the year, following cultural preferences, and
considering cost factors.

DISCUSSION
Work with a partner. Discuss the question below about your country.
1. What is the best-known national dish? Is it popular outside your country?

2. Is there a difference between the food that people eat in the countryside and in big cities?
DISCUSSION
3. Should the governments stop the growth of multinational restaurant chains, to allow local,
traditional restaurants to compete for customers?
DISCUSSION
1. The best-known national dish in Vietnam is phở, a flavorful noodle soup enjoyed for breakfast and
throughout the day. It's popular worldwide, especially in countries with large Vietnamese communities
like the US, France, Australia, and Canada.
2. Yes, there can be differences. In rural areas, food is often simpler, using local ingredients and
traditional methods. In big cities, there's more diversity with international cuisines, alongside traditional
Vietnamese dishes like phở and bánh mì.
3. Deciding whether the Vietnamese government should control the expansion of big international
restaurant chains is a debated issue. Doing so might help local businesses and keep traditional food
alive, but it could also limit what people can choose to eat and slow down the economy. The
government needs to think about how it will affect small businesses, protect culture, and help the
economy before deciding. https://kta.elearn.vn

PASSAGE 1
Are organically grown foods the best choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods – a
term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious
than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping
claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these
claims are not supported by scientific evidence, th preponderance of written material advancing such calims
makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, calims that eating a diet
consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health
have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder
foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones,
that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than
fumigated grains and the like.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more
than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases customers are misled if they believe organic foods can
maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real
cause for concern if customers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy
only expensive organic foods instead.

PASSAGE 2
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods in season. Drying,
smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a very short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of
fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas
Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1950’s an American named Gail
Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became
more common during the 1860’s but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880,
however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass produced cans from tinplate.
Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets.
Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more
produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to
preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western
strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year.
In addition, increased use of ice boxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice
commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand
commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and
remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were
heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could
take advantages of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.

smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a very short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that
of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810 a French inventor named
Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1950’s an American
named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed
milk became more common during the 1860’s but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by
hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass produced
cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.

SAMPLE ESSAY
Globalization, defined as the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of countries and
communities worldwide, has become a defining feature of the modern era. This essay aims to explore the
multifaceted effects of globalization on local communities, encompassing cultural, economic, and social
dimensions.
The positive impacts of globalization on local communities are evident in various aspects. Firstly, it facilitates
access to foreign cultures, enriching local communities with diverse experiences in food, movies, music, and
art. For instance, sushi restaurants in small towns and the popularity of Bollywood films globally exemplify
how globalization broadens cultural horizons. Secondly, globalization accelerates the dissemination of
knowledge and technological advances, fostering connectivity and information sharing among communities.
This enables local communities to benefit from innovations such as telemedicine or renewable energy
technologies, improving their quality of life and well-being. Economically, globalization presents opportunities
for local communities through lower-cost production methods for companies and increased access to high-
quality yet affordable products for consumers. This can stimulate economic growth and development within
communities, creating job opportunities and enhancing living standards.
SAMPLE ESSAY
However, globalization also poses challenges for local communities. One significant concern is the loss of
cultural identity due to cultural homogenization, where traditional practices and languages are overshadowed
by global influences. Moreover, globalization exacerbates social inequalities, with marginalized groups
experiencing exploitation and widening wealth gaps within communities. Furthermore, the rapid
industrialization driven by globalization contributes to environmental degradation, posing risks to the well-
being of local communities and ecosystems.
In conclusion, globalization presents a complex interplay of advantages and disadvantages for local
communities. While it fosters cultural exchange, economic growth, and technological progress, it also brings
about challenges such as cultural homogenization, social inequality, and environmental degradation. It is
imperative for policymakers, businesses, and civil society to address these challenges and strive for a more
inclusive, sustainable, and equitable global society.

Let’s talk about wedding

1. What presents are suitable for a wedding in your country?
2. Do you think money spent on a wedding is wasted?
3. What is your idea of an ideal wedding party?
SAMPLE ANSWERS
1. What is your favorite festival?
My favorite festival is Tet Nguyen Dan, or the Lunar New Year. It's a time when families come together to
celebrate and honor their ancestors, enjoy delicious food, and exchange good wishes for the upcoming
year. I love the festive atmosphere, the vibrant decorations, and the sense of togetherness it brings. It's a
special time for reconnecting with loved ones and starting fresh for the new year ahead.
2. What are the most popular Vietnamese festivals?

The most popular Vietnamese festivals include Tet Nguyen Dan (Lunar New Year), Tet Trung Thu (Mid-
Autumn Festival), and Tet Doan Ngo (Dragon Boat Festival). These festivals are cherished for their
cultural significance, family gatherings, and traditional rituals. My favorite festival is Tet Nguyen Dan
because of its festive atmosphere, delicious food, and the opportunity to spend quality time with family
and friends, welcoming the new year with hope and joy.
SAMPLE ANSWERS
3. Do you like western festivals?
Yes, I enjoy western festivals like Christmas and Thanksgiving for their cultural richness and festive spirit.
These festivals bring people together to celebrate and create joyful memories. I appreciate the traditions,
such as decorating Christmas trees or sharing a Thanksgiving meal with loved ones, as they promote a
sense of community and gratitude. While they may differ from Vietnamese festivals, I find them equally
enjoyable and meaningful.
1. What presents are suitable for a wedding in your country?
Suitable presents for a wedding in my country often include practical items for the couple's new life
together, such as kitchen appliances, bedding sets, or decorative household items. Monetary gifts are
also common and appreciated, as they allow the couple to choose what they need most. Some people
opt for personalized gifts or experiences to make their present more unique and memorable. Ultimately,
the best gift depends on the couple's preferences and needs.
SAMPLE ANSWERS
2. Do you think money spent on a wedding is wasted?
It depends on personal perspective, but many don't consider money spent on a wedding as wasted. A
wedding is a significant life event, celebrating love and commitment, and the expenses often go towards
creating cherished memories for the couple and their guests. While weddings can be costly, they
symbolize a meaningful investment in the couple's future and their shared happiness.
3. What is your idea of an ideal wedding party?

An ideal wedding party, in my opinion, involves close friends and family gathering to celebrate the love
between the couple. It should have a warm and joyful atmosphere, with delicious food, lively music, and
heartfelt speeches. Personal touches that reflect the couple's personalities and cultural traditions make it
even more special. Ultimately, the most important thing is for everyone to share in the happiness of the
newlyweds and create lasting memories together.
SPEAKING TASK
PART 2
You're shopping at a local market, and you notice a variety of products from different countries on the
shelves. There are 3 options: buying products from different parts of the world, choosing among
so many unfamiliar products, or sticking to familiar local products. Which one would you choose?
What are the reasons for your choice?
SAMPLE ANSWERS
PART 2
When it comes to shopping at a local market with products from different countries, I believe sticking to
familiar local products is the best choice.
Firstly, choosing local products helps the local economy. When we buy goods made in our own
community or country, we're supporting local farmers, artisans, and businesses. This helps to sustain
local jobs and businesses, which is important for keeping our community's economy healthy.
Secondly, sticking to familiar local products ensures quality and safety. We usually trust the standards and
rules that control products made in our own country. We're also more familiar with the production methods
and ingredients used, which reducing the risk of buying things that might not be safe or good quality.
SAMPLE ANSWERS
PART 2
Moreover, buying local products helps cut down on our carbon footprint. Items that come from faraway
places usually need to travel long distances, which adds to greenhouse gas emissions and harms the
environment. When we go for local products, we can reduce the environmental damage caused by
transportation and encourage more eco-friendly shopping habits.
Finally, buying local products helps us feel more connected to our community and cultural heritage. It lets
us experience the traditions, values, and tastes of our region. This creates a sense of pride and
belonging, knowing that we're supporting local artisans and producers who add to the special identity of
our community.
In summary, sticking to familiar local products brings many advantages, such as helping the local
economy, ensuring quality and safety, reducing our environmental impact, and creating a stronger sense
of community. That's why it's the top choice when shopping at a local market.
SAMPLE ANSWERS
PART 2
- While it might seem exciting to try products from various countries, this choice may have drawbacks.
Firstly, importing products from faraway places usually means they've traveled long distances, leading to
carbon emissions and environmental damage. Secondly, it may not support the local economy as much as
purchasing local products does. Additionally, there could be concerns about quality control and safety
standards in products from unfamiliar regions.
- Choosing unfamiliar products can be an exciting adventure, but it also carries risks. Firstly, there may be
a lack of knowledge about the ingredients, production methods, and cultural background of these
products. This may lead to uncertainty about their quality and suitability. Secondly, it might result in
spending money on things that don't match our expectations or preferences, leading to wasteful spending.
- In summary, sticking to familiar local products is the most practical and beneficial choice in terms of
economic, environmental, and cultural considerations.
SPEAKING TASK
PART 3
Topic: There are several benefits of globalization.
SAMPLE ANSWERS
Globalization brings about numerous advantages that affect various aspects of our world.
Firstly, it fosters economic growth by promoting international trade and investment. When countries
engage in global trade, they can explore new markets, become more efficient through specialization, and
benefit from producing goods on a large scale. This leads to higher productivity, more job opportunities,
and ultimately, improved living standards for people worldwide.
Secondly, globalization helps create new and improved technologies by making it easier for people from
different places to share ideas and knowledge. When companies worldwide work together and compete,
they try harder to develop better products. This pushes them to invest in research and development,
leading to faster progress in technology. These advancements not only make our daily lives better but
also help tackle important global issues like healthcare, energy, and taking care of the environment.
SAMPLE ANSWERS
Moreover, globalization encourages different cultures to mix and learn from each other. When people from
various backgrounds meet through travel, trade, and technology, they get to see different ways of life.
This helps them become more open-minded and respectful towards other cultures. As a result, it brings
people closer together and makes the world feel more connected.
To sum up, globalization brings many good things like making economies grow, creating new
technologies, and mixing different cultures. Even though there are some problems like inequality and
cultures becoming too similar, we can't ignore the good things globalization brings. By using its benefits
wisely and being responsible when we connect globally, we can make the world a better place where
everyone can thrive and get along.
SPEAKING TASK
PART 3
1. Can you discuss the influence of globalization on job opportunities for Vietnamese citizens?
Globalization has brought both opportunities and challenges for job seekers in Vietnam. On one hand,
foreign investment and new industries create more job options. However, increased competition and
automation have also affected some industries, leading to job displacement and wage pressures. So, while
there are more job options, people need to keep learning new skills to handle these changes well.
2. How has globalization contributed to the growth of the tourism industry in Vietnam?
Globalization has boosted Vietnam's tourism by making it easier for travelers to visit, spreading awareness
of its attractions online, attracting foreign investment in hotels and infrastructure, and diversifying tourism
experiences to meet global standards and trends. This has led to more visitors and economic growth in the
tourism sector.
