Telling the Whole Food Truth As a teacher of whole-food vegetarian cookery, I do feel a certain sympathy with the ‘Men for Meat’ group. There is both confusion and just plain, unappetizing cooking in this area, when a whole-food/ vegetable diet should and can be highly nutritious and utterly delicious.
The words ‘whole-food’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not synonymous: vegetarians do not eat any ‘fish, flesh or fowl’. Most eat dairy products. Those who don’t are called vegans. I tell students not to turn vegetarian until they have become knowledgeable about nutrition, and especially about protein. It’s very easy to become a sick vegetarian.
And a whole-food diet just consists of eating the whole of food, with nothing added, and nothing taken away. For example, you eat whole-wheat flour, not white flour, which has had bleach added. In all, no refined carbohydrates are eaten and very fatty and additive-laden foods are avoided and the stress is on fresh products of the best quality. And that’s all - except you must then find recipes which are both healthy and delicious because you’ll have to cook it all yourself. Very few ready- bought meals fulfill both requirements.
6. A whole food diet _____.
A. has a lot of nutrition B. is easy to eat C. is added with flour. D. is often fresh
7. According to the writer, what is wrong with ready bought meals for vegetarians?
A. They can be cooked easily. B. They can’t be both healthy and delicious.
C. They contain some additives. D. They have best quality.
8. What is NOT true about the writer?
A. She supports the whole food. B. She is a teacher.
C. She dislikes ready bought meal D. She is a vegetarian.
9. The writer of this article feels a ‘certain sympathy’ for this group because _____.
A. She is a vegetarian. B. They don’t know much about vegetarian cooking
C. her students do not eat meat. D. “whole food” and “vegetarian” are not the same.
10. ‘Men for Meat’ is a _____.
A. group of vegetarians B. cookery group C. group that eat all kinds of food D.group of men

Visitors to Vietnam should pay attention to the following advice.
Socializing
Vietnamese people like to ask questions about age, marriage, salary, etc when they meet someone for the first time. For example, they may ask, ‘How old are you?’,
‘Are you married?’, ‘What do you do for a living?’, ‘Do you have any children?’
Don’t be embarrassed by these kinds of questions. This is the Vietnamese way of being friendly.
Presents
Vietnamese people always show their gratitude when receiving a gift. However, you should not be surprised if they do not open a present you had given them immediately.
Opening a present in front of the gift-giver is considered to be embarrassing.
Compliments
Although Vietnamese people always appreciate compliments, they are usually modest in their reactions. For example, in response to the compliment ‘What a nice dress!’ a Vietnamese girl may say, ‘I don’t think so. It’s very old.’
The elderly
Always show the elderly respect. Bowing your head slightly to an elderly person is a sign of respect. During a meal, elderly people should be served first.

Read the passage and do the tasks that follow
Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture.
If we are involved in a culture that is unlike our own, we may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures. Having our own judgement could lead us to discriminate other cultural values which are different from our own because we do not understand them.
Culture diversity is important because we can increase our level of understanding about other cultures by interacting with people outside of your own culture- meaningful relationships may never develop simple due to a lack of understanding.
Learning about other cultures also helps us understand different aspects in the world, and helps remove negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups.
In addition, culture diversity helps us recognize and respect other ways of life that are not necessary our own, so that as we interact with others we can build bridged to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures.
Culture diversity supports the idea that every person can make a unique and positive contribution to the larger society because of, rather than in spite of, their differences. Imagine a place where diversity is recognized and respected; various cultural ideas are acknowledged and valued, contributions from all groups are encouraged to achieve their full potential, and differences are celebrated.
Task 1: Match a word with its definition, writing the answer in each blank.
……….1. lens a. a wrong idea about someone or something
……….2. disoriented b. something that provides you information about something else.
………..3. stereotype c. an act of removing differences between two things.
………4. Bias d. not knowing where to go and what to do
………5. Bridge e. prejudice or unfair judgement Task 2: Read the passage again then answer the questions.
1. What is the function of culture?
2. Why may people experience culture shock?
3. Why is culture diversity important?
4. What are the benefits of culture diversity?
5. Which interesting idea does cultural diversity support?

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them.
For example, there are about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the
world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of them don't attack people. Some sharks are very small – the smallest shark is about 6 inches long - about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest species of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a kind of tough white flexible material (called cartilage). Sharks do not have ears. However, they 'hear' sounds and movements in the wade. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrates. Sharks can feel these vibrations and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn in the evening, or in the middle of the night.

If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.

Ask yourself which is the best style for the particular task you are doing.
