Audio Script:
The topic of my talk today is the problems many migrants have to face when living in a place which is not their homeland. Migrants can be immigrants who settle down in another country. But migrants can also be those people moving from one place to another within the same country, like... moving from the countryside to the city. In a multicultural society like ours, migrants are encouraged to maintain their own cultural identity. When people migrate, they do not leave their beliefs, customs or cultural practices behind. They want to assimilate into the new culture, but they also want to maintain their own. However, their children and grandchildren, I mean the next generations, find it difficult.

Audio Script:
There are mainly two ways for migrants to pass down their culture to the next generation. First, they should encourage all family members to speak the mother tongue at home. This will help the young ones to communicate with people in the home country when they have a chance to visit their homeland, in also means that it's necessary to travel to the home country regularly. There is no better way to learn about a culture than to experience it first-hand. Second, they should attend festivals celebrating their culture, such as the Lunar New Year for some Asian communities. On these occasions, everybody can enjoy traditional food, wear traditional clothes, sing folk songs, and exchange best wishes in the heritage language. People will have a chance to get together, and maintain and further develop their sense of cultural identity.

Chủ đề của cuộc nói chuyện hôm nay của tôi là những vấn đề mà nhiều người nhập cư phải đối mặt khi sống ở một nơi không phải là quê hương của họ. Người di cư có thể là những người nhập cư định cư ở một quốc gia khác. Nhưng người di cư cũng có thể là những người di chuyển từ nơi này sang nơi khác trong cùng một quốc gia, như ... di chuyển từ nông thôn đến thành phố. Trong một xã hội đa văn hóa như của chúng ta, người di cư được khuyến khích duy trì bản sắc văn hoá của mình. Khi họ di cư, họ không để lại tín ngưỡng, phong tục tập quán hoặc thực tiễn văn hoá của họ. Họ muốn hòa nhập vào nền văn hoá mới, nhưng họ cũng muốn duy trì nền văn hoá của họ. Tuy nhiên, con cái và cháu của họ, ý tôi là các thế hệ tiếp theo sẽ thấy khó khăn.

Có hai cách chính là di cư để chuyển văn hóa của họ sang thế hệ kế tiếp. Thứ nhất, họ nên khuyến khích các thành viên trong gia đình nói tiếng mẹ đẻ ở nhà. Điều này sẽ giúp những người trẻ dễ giao tiếp với mọi người cùng quê hương khi họ có cơ hội thăm quê hương của họ, cũng có nghĩa là nó là cần thiết để đi du lịch đến đất nước mình thường xuyên. Không có cách nào tốt hơn để tìm hiểu về một nền văn hoá hơn là trải nghiệm nó một cách trực tiếp. Thứ hai, họ nên tham dự lễ hội kỷ niệm văn hóa của họ, chẳng hạn như Tết Nguyên Đán cho một số cộng đồng Châu Á. Trong những dịp này, mọi người có thể thưởng thức các món ăn truyền thống, mặc quần áo truyền thống, hát các bài hát dân gian và trao đổi những lời chúc tốt nhất bằng ngôn ngữ di sản. Mọi người sẽ có cơ hội để có được với nhau, và duy trì và phát triển hơn nữa ý thức của họ về bản sắc văn hoá.

Festivals are celebrated to highlight the cultural heritage of nations. At national level, festivals help to strengthen the spirit of solidarity and unity of the whole nation. Regional festivals or festivals of an ethnic group, on the other hand, help to maintain the cultural identity of a community. Taking part in different activities of the festival, group members get together, have fun, and promote their cultural image. Examples can be found in well-known festivals of some ethnic groups in Viet Nam.
In March, the Elephant Racing Festival is held at Don Village, in Dak Lak Province, to promote the martial spirit of the M’Nong and Ede people, who are famous for their bravery in wild elephant hunting. Every year, more and more participants in colourful costumes flock to the area to watch the race and take part in other fun activities such as eating traditional food, drinking rice wine, dancing, and watching elephants play soccer.

Forest Worshipping is an important festival of the Nung and Dao people in Ha Giang and Lao Cai Provinces, which takes place in the fi rst lunar month. People worship the god of trees and villagers who sacrificed their lives to protect the village. They also pray for good health, fruitful trees and favourable climate. The ceremony is held under an old tree in the forest, with a lot of agricultural products used as offerings. After the ceremony, local people sign a statement to protect forests and plant more trees around their houses. Finally, they take part in folk games with strong ethnic identity, such as blind man’s buff, swinging, shuttlecock throwing, and tug of war.
