4. Read the passage and then answer the questions.

The Hmong people are one of the major ethnic minorities of Vietnam, with a population of about one million. Like many other ethnic groups, each year, the Hmong celebrates New Year with ritual practices for the gods and celebrations among themselves. The Hmong people celebrate their New Year festival following their own calendar. It usually falls between the eleventh month and the twelfth month of the Lunar calendar and lasts for at least fifteen days. However, it does not have an exact date every year. The date of New Year's Day is revealed some months prior to the celebration, and the festival is organized rather subtly. This is the most important festival of the year for them, symbolising the start of something new and good harvest for the coming year. People from many villages gather together and share their memories of the last year.

During the festival, there are various traditional musical shows that embody Hmong customs. Women and girls dress up in traditional costumes, wearing silver necklaces and diadems. Some other festive activities include tug- of-war and horse racing. They join with the Vietnamese (Kinh) Lunar New Year about a month later, when all the ethnicities also celebrate together.

5. Read the passage and then answer the questions.

When mentioning Tet, the children normally think of "Li Xi". Giving each other best wishes and giving the children "Li xi" have become indispensable parts of Tet. Children are extremely happy and excited when receiving "Li Xi" from adults. "Li Xi" or lucky money is a small amount of money put in a red envelope which is given to children as a token of luck and best wishes. The old also get "Li Xi" from their children with a bless for a new year of health, peace and happiness. It is a common belief that the money can bring good fortune to the upcoming year. Traditionally, in the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year, children will visit their grandparents' home and give them wishes for good health and long life. It is the chance for the kids to show their respect and gratitude toward previous generations. After that, grandparents will give the children "Li xi" to welcome their new age. They also wish their grandchildren health, progress in study...

This traditional ritual still remains preserved until today; and "Li Xi" tradition has been an indispensable part of many generations' childhood. Although the amount of the money is small, the meaning that lucky money brings is very great. It not only presents the best wishes of the adults for the kids, but also demonstrates a succession of generations.

6. Read the passage and then answer the questions.

VIETNAMESE COSTUME

The most recognisable traditional garment you're likely to see in Vietnam today is the ao dai, an item of national dress consisting of a long, tight-fitting, silk tunic worn over loose trousers. The design of the modern ao dai is a variation on more traditional forms of dress, and was perfected in the 1950s. Though it was banned in the late 1970s, the ao dai has since seen a resurgence and many women in Vietnam continue to wear it, often as part of a uniform for schools, universities and public service roles.

The male equivalent of the ao dai is called the ao gam, and is a brocade tunic ordinarily worn only on special occasions, such as birthdays or festivals. You are less likely to see the ao gam than the ao dai in a day-to-day setting in Vietnam.

More well-known even than the ao dai, the non la is a style of Vietnamese conical hat that has become symbolic not just of Vietnam but of East Asia in general for many Westerners. The hat, which is usually made from bamboo or straw, appears in Vietnamese art dating from 2,500-3,000 years ago, and is considered part of modern

Vietnamese national costume.

From the early twentieth century onwards, most Vietnamese have worn Western-style clothing in day-to-day life, while members of minority ethnic groups in the north of country still commonly wear the traditional dress of their own particular locality.
