Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

        The Mid-Autumn Festival, known as Tết Trung Thu in Vietnam, is a traditional celebration that dates back over a thousand years. This festival, which takes place on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, is particularly special for Vietnamese families and children. The festival is marked by colorful lantern parades, traditional lion dances, and the sharing of mooncakes, which are a symbolic treat during this time.

      The origins of Tết Trung Thu are tied to agricultural rituals and the celebration of the harvest. It is also a time when families come together to appreciate the full moon, which is believed to be at its brightest and most beautiful. Children eagerly participate in making and carrying lanterns, which are often shaped like stars, animals, and other whimsical designs.

      One unique aspect of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam is the tradition of lion dances. Performers in vibrant lion costumes dance to the beat of drums and cymbals, bringing good luck and fortune to the community. This lively performance is a highlight of the festival and draws large crowds.

      Tết Trung Thu is not only a time for celebration but also a chance for families to teach children about their cultural heritage. Through storytelling and traditional activities, the festival helps to preserve Vietnamese customs and pass them on to the next generation.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In today's globalized society, experiencing a multicultural world has become increasingly common. Cities like New York, London, and Sydney are melting pots where various cultures coexist and interact. This diversity enriches communities by bringing together different perspectives, traditions, and customs. People from different backgrounds contribute to the vibrant cultural tapestry of these cities, creating a unique and dynamic environment.

      One of the benefits of living in a multicultural world is the opportunity to learn from others. People can explore new cuisines, languages, and festivals, which broadens their understanding and appreciation of different cultures. For instance, Chinese New Year, Diwali, and Ramadan are celebrated by people of all backgrounds, fostering a sense of unity and mutual respect. Moreover, multicultural societies often stimulate creativity and innovation, as the blending of diverse ideas can lead to new solutions and advancements in various fields.

      However, navigating a multicultural environment also presents challenges. Misunderstandings and cultural clashes can arise, requiring individuals to be open-minded and empathetic. It's essential to engage in open dialogue and educate oneself about other cultures to minimize conflicts and build harmonious relationships. Additionally, there can be issues related to integration and inclusion, where some groups may  feel marginalized or excluded from mainstream society. Addressing these issues requires concerted efforts from governments, communities, and individuals to promote equality and social cohesion.

      Educational institutions play a crucial role in promoting multicultural understanding. Schools and universities can incorporate multicultural education into their curricula, teaching students about the history, values, and traditions of different cultures. This not only enhances students' cultural awareness but also prepares them to thrive in a diverse world. Furthermore, extracurricular activities such as cultural exchange programs and international student organizations provide practical experiences for students to engage with peers from different backgrounds.

      Ultimately, the multicultural world we live in offers a unique chance to grow and learn. By embracing diversity, we can create more inclusive and vibrant communities, where everyone feels valued and respected. While challenges exist, the benefits of multiculturalism far outweigh the difficulties, paving the way for a more interconnected and harmonious global society.
