F Audio script: Unit 3 - Skills 2 (page 33 - Textbook) Five - coloured sticky rice is an important traditional dish of many ethnic minorities in the northern mountainous regions. People call the dish five – coloured sticky rice because it has five colours: red, yellow, green, purple and white. The things that create the colour are not chemicals but natural roots and leaves. The five colours of the dish represent five elements of life according to Vietnamese beliefs: yellow is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal and purple or black is water. People believe that these five elements create harmony between heaven and earth. Five – coloured sticky rice is usually made and enjoyed at Tet, in festivals and ceremonies, on special occasions, and whenever the family has guests.

B. education Audio script: REVIEW 2 – Skills – P. 69 After living in France for a few months, I realized that I really should stop trying to be so polite all the time. The French seem to find it annoying if you say things like I'm awfully sorry because they feel you are wasting their time. It must seem to them that the British spend their whole time apologising! The French don’t really make ‘small talk either. Chatting to strangers such as taxi drivers or shop assistants especially politely, is seen as rather strange. And there is another interesting difference. People at dinner parties in France will expect to take part in a serious discussion. The guests are often asked their opinions on ‘big issues’. British people enjoy discussions about house prices and education. However, they are sometimes surprised if their guests want to talk about anything serious, such as politics or art. II.
