If you go to the American state of Alaska, you might find the traditional lifestyle there interesting. Although Alaska is quite large, with nearly 1.7 million square kilometres, it has a small population of about 730,000.
The native peoples in Alaska still maintain many of their traditions. They keep their old ways of making arts and crafts alive. Various native groups have their own special styles of carving or weaving as well as their unique tribal dances and drumming. Therefore, visitors to Alaska may experience some of their culture in their villages. They may see performances of traditional music and native art in galleries and museums.
Alaska is also known for its unusual method of transport - the dogsled. Today, dog sledding (= mushing) is more of a sport than a true means of transport. The best-known race is the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a 1,510 km race from Anchorage to Nome. Mushers from all over the world come to Anchorage each March to compete for cash and prizes.

Nếu bạn đến bang Alaska của Mỹ, bạn có thể sẽ thấy lối sống truyền thống ở đó thú vị. Dù Alaska khá rộng lớn với diện tích gần 1,7 triệu ki-lô-mét vuông, nó có một dân số nhỏ khoảng 730000 người.
Người dân bản địa ở Alaska vẫn giữ được nhiều truyền thống của họ. Họ vẫn bảo tồn cách làm đồ mỹ thuật và thù công của họ. Rất nhiều nhóm người bản địa có những kiểu chạm khắc và dệt may độc đáo của riêng họ cùng với những tiếng trống và vũ điệu dân tộc độc đáo. Do đó, du khách đến Alaska sẽ trải nghiệm được một số văn hóa trong làng của họ. Họ sẽ thấy những màn biểu diễn âm nhạc truyền thống và những tác phẩm nghệ thuật bản địa trong các phòng trưng bày và viện bảo tàng.

Hello everyone. Today I will talk about Australia, an English-speaking country. Australia is the sixth biggest country in the world. It lies between the Pacific and Indian Ocean. In Australia, there are many famous attractions. Sydney's Opera House resembling sails on the ocean is the most famous feature of Australia. It has the Australian Opera Company, theaters, concert halls, and restaurants, and attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year. Along with the Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's top architectural icons. This impressive feat of construction is the largest steel arch bridge in the world. You can't leave Australia without seeing the Great Barrier Reef. This World Heritage-listed natural wonder is one of the largest living structures on the planet. If you have a holiday, you must consider Australia.
