I. GETTING STARTED

   At the International Cultural Festival

1. Listen and read. 🎧

   Nam: OK, we've arrived at the International Cultural Festival! It's a very popular event in Ha Noi. It brings cultures from all over the world to one location! Mai: Yes, it's a way to learn about cultural diversity, particularly by tasting food from different countries. Linda: I'd really love to try Korean kimchi or traditional Japanese sushi. Japanese cuisine is world-famous, as well as very healthy!
   Mai: Can you show us around, Nam?
   Nam: Sure. Let's go to the Korean booth to try some kimchi and spicy rice cakes, called tteokbokki. I also heard that a famous K-pop group will be at their booth.
   Linda: That'll be amazing! I might meet my favourite group there and get their autographs.

   Mai: Well, I'm not really interested in K-pop. Can we first go to the English booth? I'd love to try some fish and chips.
   Nam: The English booth is on the corner. They serve delicious English dishes and sell souvenirs of famous tourist attractions in England.
   Linda: But where's the Vietnamese booth? Nam: I can see it on the map. It's an open booth and it looks huge! Visitors can play Vietnamese traditional games such as tug of war and bamboo dancing.
   Linda: They all sound fun. I'll try to join all of them if I can.
   Nam: And we can also have spring rolls and bun cha- grilled pork meatballs with noodles, which is probably Ha Noi's most popular dish.
   Linda: I suggest that we go to the Vietnamese booth first. I love Vietnamese spring rolls and would like to try bun cha. 
   Mai: Great. That's a nice idea.
