your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to
30.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects
of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are
important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned
consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned
implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware
that certain “invisible” aspects of their culture exist.
By Đỗ Bình, THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – https://violet.vn/quocbinh72

Tr 3/5

Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late
before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or
attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of
culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose
invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not
recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts
may arise when we are unable to recognize others' behavioural differences as cultural rather than
personal. We tend to misinterpret other people's behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions
or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual
differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces,
governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the
differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a
man in a courthouse who was wearing clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying
food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or
that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and
does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural
differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise.
Question 23: What is the main purpose of the passage?

B. To describe cultural diversity.
C. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture.

seen
B. Visible expressions of culture are not significant at all as they represent only a small part

in formal institutions

Read the following passage about the urban shift 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 31 to 40.
[I]. Festivals hold an essential place in human society, transcending geographical
boundaries and bringing people together to celebrate shared beliefs, traditions, and values. [II]
Throughout history, festivals have been observed in various forms, reflecting the distinct cultural
identity of each community. They are occasions for joy, remembrance, and social bonding, playing
a pivotal role in preserving cultural heritage and fostering unity. [III]
[IV] Religious festivals such as Christmas, Eid, and Diwali offer people the chance to
reconnect with their spiritual beliefs and strengthen their religious practices. They often include
prayers, feasts, and special rituals that reinforce the values and teachings of each faith. For example,
during Christmas, Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, while Muslims celebrate the
end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, focusing on forgiveness and gratitude. Such festivals not only
deepen personal faith but also foster a sense of community as people gather to observe their shared
customs.
Seasonal festivals, like Thanksgiving and the Chinese New Year, celebrate nature's cycles
and often signify the transition between seasons. These festivals are rooted in agricultural
traditions and serve as a reminder of the close relationship between humans and the
environment. Harvest festivals, in particular, offer a moment for communities to give thanks for
nature's abundance. Thanksgiving, for instance, is observed in the United States as a time for
families to come together, share a meal, and reflect on the blessings of the past year.
Cultural festivals, such as Carnival in Brazil and the Lunar New Year in various Asian
countries, showcase the customs, art, and history of particular regions. These festivals highlight
music, dance, and food, offering a vibrant expression of cultural pride and identity. They also
serve as platforms for cultural exchange, attracting tourists and fostering understanding between
different peoples. While festivals bring about happiness and communal bonding, they also hold
significant economic value. Festivals can attract large numbers of visitors, boosting local
economies by creating demand for food, accommodation, and other services. However, the
increased crowds and festivities can also lead to environmental damage, requiring thoughtful
management to mitigate negative impacts.

preserve their heritage.

A. Seasonal festivals celebrate nature's cycles and reflect human-environment relationships.
B. Thanksgiving is the most important seasonal festival around the world.
C. Seasonal festivals are losing their significance in modern society.
