Listen and read
Liz: Thanks for inviting me to the rice-cooking festival, Ba. Can you explain what is happening?
Ba: Sure. There are three competitions: water-fetching, fire-making and rice-cooking.
Liz: Where does the water come from?
Ba: There’s a river about one kilometer away. One person from each team has to run to a river. There are four bottles of water on the river bank and each runner must take a bottle and return to the starting position.
Liz: That man seems upset. What did he just yell?
Ba: He urged his teammate to run faster.
Liz: What’s special about the fire-making contest?
Ba: The fire is made in the traditional way. Two team members try to make the fire by rubbing pieces of bamboo together. The winners are the first ones to make a fire.
Liz: I’m interested in the rice-cooking contest, too.
Ba: Six people from each team participate in this event. They have to separate the rice from the husk and then cook the rice.
Liz: How do they decide who wins the contest?
Ba: The judges try the finished products and the most delicious rice is the winner. Then all the points are added and the grand prize is awarded
Liz: Is that what is happening now?
Ba: The council leader just said that he was please to award the prize to the Thon Trieu team.
