Read the following passage and decide whether each of the statements from 20 to 24 is True (T) or False (F).
In a recent discussion, historian Dr. Pham Van Minh shared his views on preserving Vietnam's rich cultural heritage. 'It's not just about protecting old buildings,' he explained. 'It’s about keeping traditions, stories, and skills alive. For example, the art of Dong Ho painting is a national treasure. We need to do more than just display old paintings in museums.'
Dr. Minh emphasized the role of the younger generation. 'Young people need to see heritage not as something from the past, but as a living part of their identity. We can achieve this by integrating heritage education into school curricula.' He suggested practical activities like school trips to historical sites and workshops with artisans, such as lacquerware makers or folk singers.
When asked about the biggest challenge, he pointed to modernization. 'As our country develops, there's a risk that old customs are forgotten. It is the community's responsibility, not just the government's, to find a balance between developing for the future and preserving the past. Having recognized this challenge, we can start to work on solutions together.'
Question 20. Dr. Minh believes preserving heritage is only about protecting ancient structures.

Chef Anh has implemented several strategies in his own restaurant. 'First, we do a better job of inventory management. We order ingredients more frequently in smaller quantities to ensure freshness and reduce spoilage. Second, we've trained our staff to be more creative with leftovers. For example, vegetable scraps that might have been discarded are now used to make flavorful broths.' He also mentions a 'root-to-stem' philosophy, where every part of a plant is utilized.
The impact has been significant. 'Our food costs have gone down by nearly 15%, and our staff feel more engaged and proud of what they do,' he reports. However, he acknowledges that convincing customers can be a hurdle. 'Some people are suspicious of dishes made from what they perceive as 'scraps'. It is our job as chefs to educate them and present these dishes in a way that is both delicious and appealing.' He believes that with creativity and communication, the restaurant industry can make a substantial contribution to tackling the global issue of food waste.
