In Unit 1's Getting Started section, students will be introduced to the theme of "A visit from a pen pal". This section serves as a starting point for students to familiarize themselves with the upcoming lesson content. Below is a suggested answer to the exercise in the textbook:

Work with a partner. A foreign pen pal is coming to stay with you for a week. What activities would you do during the visit?

Answer:

I would plan a visit to a traditional festival to immerse my friend in the local culture. Additionally, a trip to the Temple of Literature would provide a glimpse into Vietnam's rich history and heritage. The Dong Xuan Market or a bustling night market would be perfect for exploring local goods and culinary delights. An art exhibition or a visit to a historical museum would offer a deeper understanding of the country's artistic and historical significance. To showcase Vietnam's diverse cuisine, I would treat my friend to traditional dishes such as Pho, Bun Cha, Cha Ca, Banh Cuon, and more.
