Listen and read

Tom: Hi, I'm Tom. You look new here.
Lai: I am. I'm Lai from Ha Giang.
Tom: Oh, I've heard about beautiful Ha Giang. Do you live in the mountains?
Lai: Yes, I do. I'm from the Tay ethnic group. We are the second largest ethnic
group in Viet Nam, only after the Kinh.
Tom: Oh … I once saw a bamboo house on high posts in a travel brochure.
Do you live in a home like that?
Lai: Yes, we call it a “stilt house”. Our house overlooks terraced fields.
Tom: Awesome. What is life in your village like?
Lai: It's peaceful. There are 16 houses in my village. We live very close to
nature.
Tom: I love it. Can you tell me something about your culture?
Lai: Certainly. We have our own culture. You can see it in our folk dances,
musical instruments like the dan tinh, and our special five-colour sticky rice.
Tom: It sounds interesting. I hope to visit Ha Giang one day.
