Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Vietnamese cultural identity is a rich and intricate tapestry (tấm thảm phức tạp) that reflects the nation's
long and storied history. Rooted in over a thousand years of civilization, Vietnam's cultural identity is a
fusion (sự hợp nhất) of indigenous traditions and external influences, shaped by its geographical location
and historical interactions.
First and foremost, at the heart of Vietnamese culture is a deep reverence (thái độ tôn trọng sâu sắc) for
family and community. Confucian (Nho giáo) values emphasizing respect for elders, filial piety (lòng hiếu
thảo), and social harmony have played a pivotal role in shaping Vietnamese society. These values are
reflected in the close-knit family structures, hierarchical (thứ bậc) relationships, and communal rituals that
are integral to daily life.
Secondly, Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its exquisite (very beautiful and delicate)
flavors and diversity. With its emphasis on fresh ingredients, fragrant herbs, and balanced flavors, Vietnamese
food tells a story of the country's agricultural heritage and regional variations. Iconic dishes like pho, banh mi,
and spring rolls have become global favorites, representing the culinary artistry deeply ingrained (ăn sâu) in
Vietnamese culture. Also, Vietnam's artistic expressions are equally captivating. Traditional art forms like
water puppetry, silk painting, and folk music continue to thrive alongside contemporary artistic movements.
Áo dài, a graceful traditional dress, exemplifies the fusion of elegance and modesty in Vietnamese
fashion, symbolizing cultural pride and identity.
Today, in the face of modernization and globalization, Vietnamese cultural identity remains resilient (=
strong). While adapting to the challenges of the 21st century, the Vietnamese people continue to honor their
traditions, celebrate (= praise = tôn vinh) their unique cultural expressions, and pass on their heritage to
future generations, ensuring that their cultural identity remains vibrant and enduring.

better communication. When we spend time with our families, love each other and communicate openly, we
create a better future for ourselves. When we stay connected with our families, we learn to connect better
with the world.
Finally, families teach us patience. It gets tough sometimes to be patient with our family members. Yet,
