Street Food Shoulder Poles on Saigon streets
Street food shoulder pole is familiar with Saigon people throughout many years. Nowadays it has become a
special thing that makes travelers curious. In small areas of District 1 and District 3, we could count more than
100 vendors who earned money using shoulder poles. A shoulder pole, also called a carrying pole, is a yoke of
wood or bamboo, used by people to carry a load. The vendors put their goods in two baskets from each end of
the yoke.
In the downtown, we can meet young women with their shoulder poles. The baskets are covered with plastic
wrap carefully to protect the foods from the street dust. In a tight space of one basket, she could mix the
ingredients and bake the cake on a small charcoal which was defended by carton. The ready cakes were put in
other basket.
In the morning or evening, on rainy or sunny day, Saigon streets are marked by shoulder poles of people
from different regions of the country, which has become a unique part of Saigon. It has been said that it isn’t
hard to live in Saigon if you work hard. With the carrying pole on shoulders, the vendor has turned it into a
“store”. The reason is very simple, they don’t have enough money to open a real store. Every day these women
continue their journey through Saigon streets under the sun and the rain, selling cheap things or street foods to
earn money and feed their children.

EX 4. Read the passage and choose the best answers.

Ha Long Bay is located in Quang Ninh Province, northeast Vietnam, just 180 km east of Hanoi; surrounded
by Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, Cat Ba Island, Tuan Chau Island and Ha Long City. While Ha Long Bay is
not a large area, it packs some 1,600 limestone islands and islets into its 1,553 km2. Limestone towers, green
islands and islets boast karst caves, caverns and grottoes, many hidden and still waiting to be discovered. Some
islands are completely hollow. Framing the islands are gorgeous beaches, the emerald sea lapping gently on the
soft, white sand. The Bay was first recorded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 thanks to its exceptional
natural beauty and aesthetic importance. In 2000, it had the honour of being recognised the second time for its
significant geomorphic features, as a billion-year-living proof of Earth’s formation.

Many travellers are unaware that Ha Long Bay actually has an immense value to the world because of its
rare concentration of biodiversity, culture and history. Hence, this uniqueness is exactly what makes Ha Long
Bay a magical destination where travellers cannot wait to visit it. Cruising the green islands is the only way to
truly experience Ha Long Bay. On a wooden junk or cruise vessel, you can take in the picture-perfect serenity of
the area from balcony, sun deck and the front of the boat in complete luxury. Watch the sun rise and set over the
Bay, all pink and orange and plump, and breathe the fresh air deep into your lungs, recharging your soul.
