ARTS

- What forms of visual art are popular in your country?


Because Vietnam has much cultural and natural diversity and a long
history, we take pride in various types of visual art ranging from painting,
sculpture, crafts, and drawing. Take Dong Ho Folk painting, for example.
With a unique drawing-printing technique using raw materials and all-
natural colors, this kind of art is preserved not only by the government
but by all Vietnamese people.

- Are there any difference between the art in your country and the
art in Western countries?
Since culture varies, there is a vast difference between art in Vietnam and
western nations. There are some unique Vietnamese art styles, such as
stilt houses and martial arts, that we do not see in the western world.
Having said that, as our country was dominated by France and China in
the past, we were, to some extent, influenced by their artistic styles while
maintaining our own.

1.A vast difference (collocation): sự khác biệt lớn


2.Having said that: tuy nhiên (=however)
3.Stilt house (n): nhà sàn
4.Martial art (n): võ thuật

- Do you want to be an artist?


Not really. Though I have a strong passion for drawing, I don’t expect to
become an artist; that’s why I opted for Business as my university major.
The reason is that being a successful artist is hard, especially for those
from a middle-class family like me. I would have to hope that the public
recognized my work of art to help me move from rags to riches. I don’t
want to lead a difficult life to pursue my dreams.

1. Have a strong passion for: có niềm đam mê mãnh liệt với…


2.Middle class (adj): trung lưu
3.From rags to riches (idiom): đổi đời, từ nghèo lên giàu

OUTER SPACE AND STARS

- Have you ever learnt about outer space and stars?


Yes, I have. Though they are not included in our school curriculum,
exploring the universe always holds my attention. When I was a child ,
my dad bought me some books about outer space, especially the Milky
Way and its stars. Needless to say, I had my nose in those books for hours
as the universe and its secrets are so mysterious and interesting to me.
1.Hold one’s attention: thu hút sự chú ý của ai
2.Had/Got your nose in a book: say sưa đọc sách vì hay, hấp dẫn

- Are you interested in films concerning outer space and stars?


Absolutely. I’m really into sci-fi movies mixed with a bit of fantasy
instead of the dry and boring documentaries on National Geographic. A
telling example is Star Wars, a movie I have binge-watched many times
because it always keeps me on the edge of my seat.

1.Fantasy: giả tưởng


Clash of the Titans may refer to a fantasy film about the myth of Perseus.
2.Dry (adj): khô khốc (nghĩa bóng)
The writing style was too dry for a children's book.
3.Binge-watch (v): cày phim, xem phim liên tục
4.Keep someone on the edge of his/her seat (idiom): khiến ai đó cảm
thấy thú vị

- Do you want to go into outer space in the future?


Yes, that’s the dream I’ve longed for. Traveling into space and beholding
our planet from an entirely different angle would be such a wonderful
experience. Besides, I really want to hang in mid-air in the microgravity
environment of space just once. Hopefully, in the future, with the
advancement of technologies, human beings could have space tours to
explore the universe.

1.Long for (v): ao ước cái gì


2.Hand in mid-air: lơ lửng trong không trung
3.Microgravity environment (n): môi trường không trọng lực
