Hello Carol! My name is Nick, I come from Vietnam. Now, I will introduce one of my favourite traditional dish and show you how to cook it.
As you know, the cuisine in Vietnam is very plentiful. Each part of Vietnam has its own traditional dishes. Pesonally, I'm a peson who was born and grew up in Quang Nam Povince - the central of Vietnam, so my favourite food is Quang Noodle. It is local food. It's vey special and vey popular in my country. I would say that it's really delicious. It's not only cheap but also easy to cook. All ingedients we need are: noodles, pork, shrimps, eggs, and some spices. It's vey easy to cook. Bring a pot of water and boil it. Then put the pork, shrimps, eggs and spice into the pot. Cook for about 20 minute. Moreover, you can add some turmeric if you want it to have yellow colour. It'll be more attractive. Do you know, the Quang people when be far from home, they miss Quang Noodle too muchbecause it contains their hometown smell.
In conclusion, Quang Noodle is my favourite traditional food. It's very delicious, cheap and easy to cook. If you have a chance, please come to my hometown, I will invite you to go to eat Quang Noodle with me.

Pho is one of the Vietnamese traditional food. The most delicious and typical brand of Pho in Vietnam is Ha Noi Pho with wonderful flavor. Pho is made from rice noodles, beef or chicken and other spices. Pho is a noodle soup; therefore, it’s better when being added with beansprout. Eating Pho with family not only reflects Vietnamese tradition but also creates cozy atmosphere. At weekends, my friends and I usually go to a cafeteria to enjoy Pho because Pho is served at many restaurants in Vietnam. There are two main kind of Pho: noodle soup with beef and sliced chicken, both of them are delicious and high nutrients. Pho is favorite food of almost Vietnamese and often served as breakfast. Moreover, Pho is popular in international market for its pleasant taste and reasonable price. Foreign tourists visit Vietnam and they really like the taste of Pho here. I am very proud of it. In near future, I hope Pho will be more famous in other countries so that foreigners can enjoy this cuisine and understand about Vietnamese culture.

Tourism and Heritage Protection Travelling is a great thing to do. It helps us learn about different people and different places. Some people travel because they want to see nature. Others travel because they want to make friends and try great food. Of course, a lot of tourists are interested in traditional culture.
Tourism can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to another country, they often want to learn more about that country’s traditions, such as music, food, and history. Therefore, the local people in that country will keep their traditional culture alive. They will wear traditional clothing, and sell traditional food. They will also have shows for tourists. These shows can be dances, concerts, plays, or something else.
Tourism also helps people respect each other. If you understand another culture well, you will probably respect that culture much more. You will probably want to protect that culture as well. However, tourism is not always good for traditional culture. Many people say that tourism creates “fake traditional culture”. This means that the local people wear traditional costumes, and do traditional dances only for tourists, but that is not their real lifestyle. Their real lifestyles are similar to the tourists’ lifestyle. They are just pretending because they want to make money.
