Task 1
Task 2
The conical leaf hat is one of the
typical symbols of the Vietnamese
culture because it cannot be found
from anywhere else in the world.
The leaf hat is not only a symbol of
Vietnamese girls/ women but also
part of the spirit of the Vietnamese
nation.
The hat is made from a special kind
of bamboo and young and soft palm
leaves. The rims are shaped into
conical form. The diameter of the
hat is about 40- 45 cm. The form is
covered with the palm leaves, which
are then sewn into all rims . Finally,
the hat is trimmed and painted with

a coat of attar oil.
The leaf hat is used like an umbrella
to protect people from sun or rain.
Beneath the broad rims of the leaf
hat, the girls and women look pretty
and more attractive
