Mr Brown: Hello everybody. Hope you're all working on your essay on cultural identity. Do you have
any questions?
Van: Yes. I'm not quite sure about how people express their cultural identity.
Mr Brown: That's an interesting question. Can anyone give some examples?
Lam: I think people can do that through the language they speak, the food they eat and ... certain styles
of clothing. For example, some people still wear their traditional costumes so they can preserve their
national identity.
Mr Brown: That's right. It can also be expressed by beliefs and cultural practices.
Yumi: Do you mean people's religious beliefs, music activities and festivals?
Mr Brown: Correct. Any other questions?
Lam: I wonder... why people need to protect their cultural identity.
Yumi: You live here, in your motherland, so you can't see why this is important. But for me, a Japanese
living in Viet Nam, it's essential to understand my family history and traditions.
Van: Interesting. Are your parents both Japanese, Yumi?
Yumi: Yes, but they've been living here for twenty years, and they're afraid that my sister and I are
becoming less and less familiar with our traditions.
Lam: So how do you maintain your culture?
Yumi: Well, we wear kimonos on special occasions and celebrate Japanese festivals such as the cherry
blossom festival. We also eat sushi, sashimi and udon noodles. At home we speak Japanese only.
Van: Do you often go back home?
Yumi: I've been to Kyoto four or five times to visit my grandparents. But to tell you the truth, I don't
know whether Viet Nam or Japan is really my home. My parents are from Japan, but I was born and
grew up here.
Mr Brown: I'd be interested to read about your experiences in Viet Nam in your essay, Yumi. OK, just to

remind you that the essays are due next Wednesday and late submissions won't be accepted.

a. On the other hand, there are people who choose to abandon their heritage culture and assimilate into

b. Cultural identity is usually understood as the identity or feeling of belonging to a group that has its

c. However, people often do not confine themselves to one culture.
d. The first stage, known as unexamined cultural identity, occurs during childhood, when culture is taken
for granted.
There are various studies on cultural identity. (1)___________________ . Individuals usually define
themselves by cultural identifiers such as nationality, ethnicity, location, history, language, gender,
beliefs, customs, clothing and food.

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí
It is suggested that cultural identity develops in three stages. (2)__________________________ .
Cultural ideas and values provided by families, communities or the media are easily accepted without
much critical thinking. In the second stage, called the cultural identity search, teenagers may become
more curious, and willing to explore, analyse and compare their beliefs with other cultures. When people
develop a clear sense of cultural identity, know which social group they belong to and feel satisfied with
their cultural identity, they reach the final stage called cultural identity achievement.
Living in their own country, people can easily acquire and maintain their cultural identity because they
are fully exposed to different aspects of their native culture. They inherit their ancestors' history,
knowledge, language, beliefs, values, and customs, which have been passed from one generation to the
next one.
(3) ____________________ . In the age of globalisation, access to the Internet and the media provides
instant contact with many cultures. A person's cultural identity may be influenced by certain aspects of
other cultures.
When people move to a new culture, they may react differently. Some people feel a strong urge to keep
their cultural identity, so they continue speaking their language, cooking their food, wearing their
traditional clothing, and celebrating their festivals. They also insist that their children and grandchildren
maintain their
cultural identity. (4) __________________________ . Yet, there are people who integrate into the new
cultural environment while keeping their own cultural identity and flexibly adjusting to the different
aspects of the new culture.

Audio script
Singapore gained its independence on 9 August 1965 and now has a population of more than five
million people including Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians. The country has four official
languages: English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Singapore does not have a national costume, as people

from the different ethnic groups tend to wear their traditional clothing.
The Chinese traditional attire for ladies is called cheongsam, which means a long garment. Originally,
both men and women used to wear this long, one-piece dress specially designed to conceal the body
shape. Today it's often worn by Chinese women in Singapore during Chinese New Year celebrations and
at traditional wedding ceremonies.
For Malay men, the traditional garment is called baju melayu.
It consists of a loose shirt and a sarong worn over a pair of trousers. Malay women often wear baju
kurung, which looks like a long- sleeved and collarless blouse worn over a long skirt.
The traditional dress for Indian women is thesari, which can be not only worn on special occasions, but
used every day. It's a long piece of brightly-coloured cloth wrapped around the waist and hung over the
shoulder. It's usually decorated with beautiful patterns.
Because of the hot temperatures and the modern character of Singapore, clothing is usually very casual
and most people prefer western fashions. For business, men usually wear dark trousers, white shirts and
a tie. Standard office attire for women includes a long-sleeved blouse with trousers or a skirt.
Unified by the common goal for a better future, the people of Singapore, especially the younger
generations, think of themselves as Singaporeans first, and then as Chinese, Malay or Indian.

Gợi ý:
Some people believe cultural identity is how we identify ourselves as part of a culture.This can simply
be done through the language we use, the food we often have, or the clothing we often wear on special
occasions. In my opinion, festivals and cultural practices celebrated and preserved years after years are
the most important cultural identifiers.
Through festivals, we want to express our unity as well as cultural identifier. Originally, festivals are
special occasions when people at a particular place stop working in order to celebrate parties or events.
They are often connected with religious beliefs of a specificgroupofpeopletothankGodsand ancestors for
good harvests, fortune, and happiness.
Along with festivals, cultural practices are unique ways of expressing who we are and what country or
culture we belong to. These are traditionally considered the right things to do in a community. For
example, Vietnamese people usually go to pagodas on first days of New Year to pray for good health
and happiness. Although we are now in modern time, these traditions are well preserved respectably as a
cultural stereotype.
As people all over the world become closer and closer, we share our festivals and cultural practices
the most important features. We organise international festivals and take part in various kinds of
cultural events in other countries. This is always the meaningful way of identifying, sharing and
preserving cultures.

They are encouraged to maintain their cultural identity.
They want to assimilate into the new culture, but they also want to maintain their own culture.
The first way: encouraging all family members to speak the mother tongue at home; travelling to
the home country regularly.
The second way: attending festivals celebrating the migrants'culture.
Audio script
The topic of my talk today is the problems many migrants have to face when living in a place which is
not their homeland. Migrants can be immigrants who settle down in another country. But migrants can

also be those people moving from one place to another within the same country, like... moving from the
countryside to the city.
In a multicultural society like ours, migrants are encouraged to maintain their own cultural identity.
When people migrate, they do not leave their beliefs, customs or cultural practices behind. They want to
assimilate into the new culture, but they also want to maintain their own. However, their children and
grandchildren, I mean the next generations, find it difficult.
There are mainly two ways for migrants to pass down their culture to the next generation. First, they
should encourage all family members to speak the mother tongue at home. This will help the young ones
to communicate with people in the home
country when they have a chance to visit their homeland, in s also means that it's necessary to travel to
the home country regularly. There is no better way to learn about a culture than to experience it
first-hand. Second, they should attend festivals celebrating their culture, such as the Lunar New Year for
some Asian communities. On these occasions, everybody can enjoy traditional food, wear traditional
clothes, sing folk songs, and exchange best wishes in the heritage language. People will have a chance to
get together, and maintain and further develop their sense of cultural identity.

Festivals

1
Read the text about celebrations of some ethnic groups in Viet Nam. Write the names of the
festivals under the pictures. (Đọc văn bản về lễ kỷ niệm của một số dân tộc ở Việt Nam. Viết tên của
các lễ hội dưới hình ảnh.)
Festivals are celebrated to highlight the cultural heritage of nations. At national level, festivals help to
strengthen the spirit of solidarity and unity of the whole nation. Regional festivals or festivals of an
ethnic group, on the other hand, help to maintain the cultural identity of a community. Taking part in
different activities of the festival, group members get together, have fun, and promote their cultural
image. Examples can be found in well-known festivals of some ethnic groups in Viet Nam.
In March, the Elephant Racing Festival is held at Don Village, in Dak Lak Province, to promote the
martial spirit of the M'Nong and Ede people, who are famous for their bravery in wild elephant hunting.
Every year, more and more participants in colourful costumes flock to the area to watch the race and
take part in other fun activities such as eating traditional food, drinking rice wine, dancing, and watching
elephants play soccer.
Forest Worshipping is an important festival of the Nung and Dao people in Ha Giang and Lao Cai
Provinces, which takes place in thefirst lunar month. People worship the god of trees and villagers who
sacrificed their lives to protect the village.They also pray for good health, fruitful trees and favourable
climate. The ceremony is held under an old tree in the forest, with a lot of agricultural products used as
offerings. After the ceremony, local people sign a statement to protect forests and plant more trees
around their houses. Finally, they take part in folk games with strong ethnic identity, such as blind man's
buff, swinging, shuttlecock throwing, and tug of war.
