As a result of globalisation, the world is becoming more and more connected. This has changed
people's way of life, beliefs, art and customs, or their culture, in many respects. Although people's
experiences around the world have become very similar, globalisation has also encouraged cultural
diversity. Below are some examples.
Fast food chains and international restaurants have become popular, offering a wide range of dishes
and more food choices to local people. For example, here in Viet Nam, we can enjoy Italian pizza or
Japanese sushi, in addition to our traditional food. Moreover, some international dishes use local
ingredients, which make them unique and more suitable to local tastes. On the other hand, Vietnamese
specialties, such as pho and banh mi, are also gaining popularity worldwide.
Thanks to globalisation, people can quickly discover new music from all over the world. People
nowadays enjoy listening to music from different countries and cultures, and in different languages. For
example, American teens are captivated by K-pop music and dance. There are also many music festivals
around the globe that bring artists and music fans together. In today's connected world, it is very common
for musicians across the world to work on music projects and share ideas together.
Globalisation has also impacted fashion by opening it up to a variety of styles and influences from
around the world. Cross-cultural styles that blend both traditional and modern elements are on the rise.
This presents opportunities for fashion designers to be creative and reflect the cultural richness of the
world. It is now easier for people to keep up with fashion trends from different cultures and regions, and
express their identities in new and exciting ways.
In conclusion, globalisation has helped strengthen cultural diversity in the world and made people
appreciate different cultures and lifestyles.

Plastic has become very common in our daily life; however, most plastic items take up to 1,000 years to
decompose in landfills. Can we enjoy the convenience of plastics and a greener world at the same time?
Our readers have sent us many emails with useful tips this week.
Hai, 18
I try to use fewer plastic bags when shopping. The supermarket near my house even provides cardboard
boxes, so I can pack my groceries and get rid of plastic packaging! When I must use plastic bags, I try to
reuse them again and again instead of throwing them away after a single use.
Phuong, 16
I know how convenient it is to buy a bottle of water from a vending machine or a supermarket; however,
I always bring my reusable water bottle. All I have to remember is to fill my bottle before going to school,
and then use the water filling stations or drinking fountains at school.
Hoang, 15
I always reuse plastic takeaway containers. I use them to store portions of cooked food and keep leftovers
in the fridge, which is also better for the environment.
Ha, 16
I have learnt that most plastic containers have numbers at the bottom to show the type of plastic they're
made of. So when you recycle a bottle, for instance, remove the cap because a bottle often has number 1
on it while the cap often has number 5. Numbers 1 and 2 are the most widely accepted plastics for
recycling.
Binh, 17
When I started recycling, I made the mistake of putting some plastic takeaway containers with some
leftover food into the recycling bin. The next day, the whole bin was contaminated, so all the recyclables
were taken to the landfill instead. So now I always rinse out containers before recycling them.
