READING 4: Read the following passage about cultural diversity and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 8.
Cultural diversity refers to the presence of multiple cultural groups and their practices within a society. It
encompasses various aspects such as language, traditions, beliefs, and values. Embracing cultural diversity can lead to
a more inclusive and harmonious society, where individuals appreciate and respect differences. This diversity enriches
communities by introducing new perspectives, fostering creativity, and promoting mutual understanding.
One significant benefit of cultural diversity is the exchange of ideas and knowledge. When people from
different cultural backgrounds interact, they share their unique experiences and insights. This exchange can lead to
innovative solutions and improvements in various fields such as science, art, and business. Moreover, cultural
diversity can enhance social cohesion by encouraging people to work together and learn from one another.
Education plays a crucial role in promoting cultural diversity. Schools and universities can create inclusive
environments by incorporating diverse perspectives into their curricula and encouraging students to engage with
different cultures. By doing so, educational institutions help students develop a global mindset and prepare them
for a multicultural world. Additionally, exposure to diverse cultures at a young age can reduce prejudices and
promote tolerance.
In the workplace, cultural diversity can boost productivity and creativity. Diverse teams bring together
individuals with different skills, viewpoints, and problem-solving approaches. This variety can enhance decision-
making processes and lead to more effective and innovative solutions. Companies that prioritize cultural diversity also
tend to have a more positive work environment and higher employee satisfaction.
Despite its benefits, cultural diversity also presents challenges. Misunderstandings and conflicts can arise
when people from different cultural backgrounds interact. To address these challenges, it is essential to promote open
communication and cultural competence. By fostering an inclusive culture, societies and organizations can maximize
the benefits of cultural diversity while minimizing potential conflicts.

READING 5: Read the following passage about a multicultural world and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 10..
[I] In today’s interconnected world, multiculturalism has become increasingly prevalent as people from
diverse cultural backgrounds live and work together in the same communities. [II] Multiculturalism fosters cultural
diversity, promoting understanding and tolerance among individuals with different perspectives and traditions (Banks,
2015). [III] However, while multiculturalism brings many benefits, it also poses certain challenges that need to be
addressed to achieve a harmonious society (Parekh, 2000). [IV]
One of the key benefits of multiculturalism is the enrichment of society through diverse perspectives.
Different cultural backgrounds contribute unique ideas, art forms, and traditions, which can lead to a more vibrant and
innovative community. For instance, diverse viewpoints in the workplace often drive creativity and lead to better
problem-solving solutions. Additionally, exposure to various cultures can increase people's awareness and acceptance
of others, thus reducing discrimination and promoting social cohesion.
However, a multicultural society is not without its challenges. Language barriers, for example, can hinder
communication and understanding among individuals. Miscommunication due to language differences can lead to
misunderstandings or even conflicts. Furthermore, people may feel divided by their cultural identities, which can
create a sense of "us versus them." Some argue that without efforts to bridge cultural differences, multiculturalism
might unintentionally lead to social fragmentation (Modood, 2007).
To foster a successful multicultural society, it is essential to promote inclusive policies and encourage
intercultural dialogue. Schools and workplaces can play a significant role by celebrating diversity and teaching
cultural understanding. When people actively engage with different cultures, they are more likely to find common
ground and develop mutual respect, which helps create a stronger, more unified community (Berry, 2011).

 Vietnamese cultural identity is a rich and intricate tapestry that reflects the nation’s long and storied history.
Rooted in over a thousand years of civilization, Vietnam’s cultural identity is a fusion of indigenous traditions and
external influences, shaped by its geographical location and historical interactions.
First and foremost, at the heart of Vietnamese culture is a deep reverence for family and community. Confucian
values emphasizing respect for elders, filial piety, and social harmony have played a pivotal role in shaping
Vietnamese society. These values are reflected in the close-knit family structures, hierarchical relationships, and
communal rituals that are integral to daily life.
Secondly, Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its exquisite flavors and diversity. With its emphasis
on fresh ingredients, fragrant herbs, and balanced flavors, Vietnamese food tells a story of the country’s agricultural
heritage and regional variations. Iconic dishes like pho, banh mi, and spring rolls have become global favorites,
representing the culinary artistry deeply ingrained in Vietnamese culture. Also, Vietnam’s artistic expressions are
equally captivating. Traditional art forms like water puppetry, silk painting, and folk music continue to thrive
alongside contemporary artistic movements. Áo dài, a graceful traditional dress, exemplifies the fusion of elegance
and modesty in Vietnamese fashion, symbolizing cultural pride and identity.
Today, in the face of modernization and globalization, Vietnamese cultural identity remains resilient. While
adapting to the challenges of the 21st century, the Vietnamese people continue to honor their traditions, celebrate
their unique cultural expressions, and pass on their heritage to future generations, ensuring that their cultural identity
remains vibrant and enduring.

correct answer to each of the following questions.
LIVING IN A MULTICULTURAL WORLD
 In today's globalized society, we live in a multicultural world where different cultures, traditions, and
languages mix and interact. [I]. This phenomenon is most apparent in cities, where people from diverse backgrounds
coexist, bringing their unique customs, values, and lifestyles. Living in such a world has both advantages and
challenges. On one hand, multiculturalism fosters open-mindedness, tolerance, and creativity. It allows people to
experience and appreciate different ways of life, expanding their perspectives. On the other hand, it can lead to
misunderstandings, prejudice, and even conflict if people are not open to understanding others' differences.
One significant benefit of multiculturalism is the opportunity for cultural exchange. When people from
different backgrounds share their traditions, it leads to a richer and more diverse community. [II]. For instance, in a
multicultural city, one can enjoy a variety of cuisines, attend different cultural festivals, and learn new languages. This
exchange promotes mutual respect and understanding among people, which is crucial for building a harmonious
society.
However, there are also potential downsides. Sometimes, cultural differences can create barriers to
communication, and people might struggle to integrate into a society that is different from their own. This can lead to
the formation of ethnic enclaves, where people from the same cultural background isolate themselves, limiting
interaction with the broader community. Additionally, there can be instances of discrimination and xenophobia, where
certain groups are treated unfairly because of their culture or ethnicity. [III].
To truly benefit from a multicultural world, it is essential to encourage inclusivity and understanding.
Governments, educational institutions, and individuals must work together to create environments that promote
cultural awareness and respect. This includes educational programs that teach about different cultures, as well as
policies that address discrimination and promote equality. [IV].
