Ms. SYLVIA NGUYEN

Result
I'm from Viet Nam. “Phở” is one of the most
famous dish in my country. It is made from rice
noodles, beef or chicken and other spices.
People can eat “phở” all day for every meal. Pho
is a noodle soup; therefore, it's better when
being added with beansprout. It is famous with
both Vietnamese and foreign visitors.

Ms. SYLVIA NGUYEN

Task 5. Work in groups. Give a short
presentation about the speciality you
discussed in 4.
I live in Tay Ho Village, 12 kilometres from
Hue City. My village is famous for its conical
hats. We make conical hats from “Non”
leaves. We still follow 15 traditional steps to
make a hat. A conical hat protects us from
the sun and the rain as well as makes us
more graceful. What is special about our
conical hats is that each of them carries a
poem. Tay Ho conical hats are not only
famous in Hue but all over Viet Nam.
