Task 1: Work in pairs. Discuss the differences between Vietnamese culture and some other cultures you know about. Use the ideas in Getting Started and Reading, and the table and examples below to help you. (10 mins)

- Remind Ss of the reading text about the Korean Wave, and elicit what its effects on the life of Vietnamese people.

- Ask, How much do you know about Korean culture? and encourage Ss to come up with as many points as they can (tradition, cuisine, clothes, music, …)

- Then ask Ss to read the table to see if any of their points are included there. Have them work in pairs and discuss the similarities and differences between South Korean and Vietnamese cultures.

- Students share what they know about thetwo people.

- Check answers as a class.

- Recap the comparison Ss have found and write some of them on board, e.g.

- Students read and understand the information on their cards.

* Similarities: both countries eat rice and noodles, a lot of vegetables and soups; use chopsticks; street food is a big part of both cultures. They both worship ancestors, celebrate Lunar New Year, Middle Autumn Festival, Buddha’s Birthday. They have traditional clothes.

* Differences: Koreans eat spicy food and a lot of kimchi; each person eats their own bowl, plates and dishes; they don’t talk when eating and don’t hold their bowl; greetings…

Example:

A: South Koreans seem to eat a lot of spicy food, such as kimchi and tteokbokki, while our traditional dishes, like bun cha and pho, are not very spicy in general.

B: I agree. How about music? I think in both countries, young people like to listen to pop music, but K-pop focuses mainly on dance groups while our pop music is usually produced by solo artists.

Hi, everyone! We've decided to organise a Cultural Diversity Day in our school, so we have discussed what activities to include, and the following ones are our suggestions. For cultural performances, we could invite students to showcase traditional dances, music, or even theatre from various cultures. We can create a schedule for performances throughout the day. It will be a fantastic way for everyone to experience the richness of different cultures. To involve everyone, we will organize a multicultural fashion show. Students can showcase traditional clothing or even modern outfits inspired by their cultural heritage. Finally, we could also incorporate technology by creating QR codes for each culture, linking to short videos or presentations that provide more in-depth insights into their customs, traditions, and celebrations. We hope you will vote Cultural Diversity Day programme for the best. Thank you very much for listening.
