A musical art with both scholarly and folk roots, "Đờn ca tài từ" is an indispensable part of the spiritual activity and (22),

people's life and work on the land and rivers of the Mekong Delta region. Performed at numerous events such as festivals, death anniversary rituals and festive occasions, "Đờn ca tài từ" is thus intimately connected with (23).
cultural practices and customs, oral traditions and handicrafts. The performers express
their feelings by improvising, ornamenting (24)_
varying the 'skeletal melody' and main
rhythmic patterns of these pieces. "Đờn ca tài từ" is played on a variety of different instruments, (25). include the moon-shaped lute, two-stringed fiddle,
sixteen-stringed zither, pear-shaped lute, percussion,
monochord and bamboo flute. Its repertoire is based on twenty principal songs and seventy-two classical songs. The (26)
art is passed on through oral transmission, based on imitation, from master
instrumentalists and singers to students. Musicians need to study for at least three years to learn the basic instrumental techniques and master the musical modes to express different moods and emotions. Vocal students study the traditional songs and learn to improvise subtly, using different ornamentation techniques.

Part 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following question.
Ong Pagoda, conveniently located at Ninh Kieu Wharf, offers visitors a serene and immersive experience.
While exploring this sacred site, take a leisurely stroll along the river to soak in the picturesque scenery, and don't miss the charming walking route leading to Can Tho Mini Beach, adorned with a small accumulation of sand brought in by the river.
Upon entering Ong Pagoda, prepare to be enveloped in an aromatic cloud of incense. The temple continuously burns numerous incense rings, releasing their fragrant smoke for hours on end. While this adds to the spiritual ambiance, it may prove overwhelming for some. To avoid discomfort, I recommend visiting either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as the temperature inside tends to be more tolerable during these times.
It's worth noting that the temple has certain restrictions on photography, which can be a tad disappointing for avid shutterbugs. However, fear not! You can still appreciate the remarkable exterior gate and the adjacent area featuring the Ho Chi Minh monument. These architectural marvels showcase the rich heritage and cultural significance of the site, allowing you to capture some memorable moments while respecting the temple's guidelines.
Overall, a visit to Ong Pagoda offers a profound and introspective experience. The combination of its tranquil location, the ethereal scent of incense, and the captivating river views make it a must-visit destination for those seeking spiritual solace and a deeper understanding of the local culture.
