PHÒNG GD & ĐT QUẬN LONG BIÊN ANSWER KEY TRƯỜNG THCS THƯỢNG THANH THE FIRST SEMESTER ENGLISH TEST - CLASS 8 School year: 2018-2019 Time : 45 minutes (CODE 01) Tapescript Five-coloured sticky rice is certainly the dish that best represents almost all ethnic minority groups living in the mountainous areas of Northern Viet Nam. The name of this dish already describes it clearly: steamed sticky rice in five different colours. Each of the five colours symbolises an important element of life: white is metal, green is plants, black is water, red is fire and yellow is earth. It is believed that these five elements together create perfect harmony for heaven, earth and humans. This traditional dish is usually prepared during Tet holiday, on special occasions and to welcome guests. To colour the sticky rice, people have to look for the exact leaves, roots or fruit in the forest. The fact that all these ingredients of delicious five-coloured sticky rice come from nature makes it a well-known speciality nationwide. MULTIPLE CHOICES(each right answer get 2 points) 1. A 2. B 3.
