Task 6. Read the following text and fill each gap with a word from the box. ancestors controversial superstition rituals generations authorities proud expressions

the age of increased globalisation, some festivals include (21) _________ that are considered too old-
fashioned and obviously need to be modified.
An example is the (22) ___________ pig-slaughter festival in a village in northern Viet Nam. There has

The pig-slaughter ceremony has taken place in the village for many centuries. The older (23) _________
insist on continuing this so-called ‘cultural’ practice and have argued that they are keeping the traditions
of their (24)_______ alive. They also say it does not break the law and should be decided by the villagers.
Concerns about this backward festival have been raised not only by international animal rights groups,

values and symbols. While it is important to preserve traditions and customs, communities should make
sure that the rituals are in harmony with current social beliefs, strengthen their sense of belonging, and

Task 7. Read the text about urbanisation. Based on the information in the text, decide whether the
following statements are true (T), false (F), or not given (NG). Tick the boxes.
Urbanisation programmes are being carried out in many parts of the world, especially in densely
populated regions with limited land and resources. It is the natural outcome of economic development and
industrialisation. It has brought a lot of benefits to our society. However, it also poses various problems
for local authorities and town planners in the process of maintaining sustainable urbanisation, especially in developing countries.
When too many people cram into a small area, urban infrastructure can't be effective. There will be a lack
of livable housing, energy and water supply. This will create overcrowded urban districts with no proper facilities.
Currently, fast urbanisation is taking place predominantly in developing countries where sustainable
urbanisation has little relevance to people's lives. Their houses are just shabby slums with poor sanitation.
Their children only manage to get basic education. Hence, the struggle for survival is their first priority
rather than anything else. Only when the quality of their existence is improved, can they seek for other high values in their life.
Thus, sustainable urbanisation in different regions should start from different levels. For more developed
regions, the focus could be on achieving a more sustainable urban life. But for less developed regions,
urban development should really start with the provision of the basic human needs such as sufficient
energy, clean water, housing with proper sanitation, and access to effective social infrastructure.
Question 27: Urbanisation is the natural product of economic development and industrialisation. _____
Question 28: The advantages of urbanisation outweigh its disadvantages. _____
Question 29: Slum dwellers in developing countries understand the meaning of sustainable urbanisation. ______
Question 30: The struggle for survival is the most important thing for poor people in developing countries. ______
Question 31: Different regions should deal with different tasks to achieve sustainable urbanisation. _____
