 The Area of Old Carved Stones in Sa Pa
 The area of old carved stones in Sa Pa lies mainly in the Muong Hoa Valley, where there are 
settlements of ethnic minority people in Sa Pa District, Lao Cai Province. Carved stones here have been 
discovered since a long time ago. In 1925, a French scholar coming here discovered more than 30 pieces 
of stone that had been carved with various images, scattered along the Hoa Spring bank. Later, other 
scientists have come here to study the carved pieces of stone. Until now, researchers have discovered 
more than 200 pieces of stone carved with different images, among them are the big ones which have 
complicated designs.
 The most common patterns are images of mountains, hills and fields. In some pieces of stone, we 
can find images of houses, following the pattern of house on stilts with the form of boat, with curved 
roof, reminding the image of houses on the Dong Son bronze drums.
 Particularly, a number of researchers have raised the hypothesis of traces of 3 kinds of writing 
system, following the pattern of pictorial writing with straight and curved lines. There are writing 
systems almost similar to the writing systems found on amulets of Tay ethnic group and Dao ethnic 
group, but they are not Tay characters. The discovery of the 3 above kinds of writing system on carved 
pieces of stone makes more complicated the determination of the author of those works. Maybe those 
authors belong to many different ethnic minorities and have achieved their works in different times.
 There are opinions underlining that those pieces of stone have been carved by the old Viet people, 
or ethnic groups near to the old Viet people. At present, there remain a number of legends about the 
"Father piece" and "Mother piece" of stone related to inhabitants of the areas lying at the mountain foot 
coming here to find new settlements. However, the problem of determination of the real authors of those 
works is still to be solved.

Age. ___________
2. Hundreds of stone pieces have been found with various images, some of which have big, complex 
patterns. ___________
3. The most common topic for the patterns is nature. ___________
4. Images of stilt houses on these pieces of stone were the same as those on the Dong Son bronze drums. 
 ___________
5. The three kinds of writing system on the carved pieces of stone might share the similar pattern of 
pictorial writing with straight and curved lines. ___________ IV. Read the text, and then do the tasks that follow.
 My Son Sanctuary
 Hidden away in the tropical forest near the port city of Da Nang and the very popular World Heritage 
town of Hoi An is the Champa civilization’s sacred valley of My Son, or “Beautiful Mountain”. I joined 
the full day package tour from Hoi An, which was quite very convenient as it included all transportation, 
ticket fee, lunch and guide. I arrived in My Son around 10 o’clock. After walking for a while, I found 
the complex of tourist facilities, and one of them is the performance hall. Our guide insisted us keeping 
going into the forest. Within few minutes, I started to see the complex of ancient Hindu temples made 
from brick.
 At first, the dilapidated state of the complex was quite shocking, and almost nothing was left to 
see. I decided to discover the site by myself, and I started to be impressed by the amazing quality of 
brick carving details. The image of Hinduism guardians and angels are truly beautiful and reminded me 
about Angkor in Cambodia. For me, My Son is the great evidence of how Southern Indian art expanded 
to Southeast Asia since ancient Cham people came from Java where Indian art flourished, and later 
expand to modern day Viet Nam and later Cambodia and Thailand. The construction method of My Son 
is also very unique: Cham people built a whole block of bricks then burned them to make the whole 
brick block very solid and strong, then chiseled into the temple. I walked around the complex many 
times to enjoy its intricate motifs until the guide informed that there are more complex to see.
 I went to see another complex, this one is located on the hill and recently partial rebuilt by a group 
of Italian archaeologists, and they are planning to rebuild more, which is a very good news for My Son 
preservation. The rebuilt complex is very lovely and illustrates the original layout very well even though 
the new brick really contrasts with the old ones. After that, the guide took me back to the bus and back 
to Hoi An, it was exactly 3 hours inside My Son. Despite the bad state of preservation, I really enjoyed 
my visit to My Son, the place has exceeded my expectation and even small complex can clearly show 
its value as a bridge of cultural exchange between India - Java and mainland Southeast Asia.

Task 2. Match the underlined words in the text with the definitions.
 1. sacred _____ A. a person that protects something VI. Read the article about the Moai, and do the tasks that follow.
 THE MYSTERIOUS MOAI
1 ______________________________________
The Moai are beautiful stone statues that you can see on the Chilean island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), 
in the Pacific Ocean. There are 887 statues, and we know that the first ones were made about 1,00 years 
ago. However, we don’t know very much about the people who made them, or the reasons why they 
made them. The stones are a beautiful mystery.
2 ______________________________________
The Moai are statues of men with very large heads, and smaller bodies and arms. Only one has legs and 
feet.
3 ______________________________________
We know that people used hand tools to make the stones because archeologists have found examples of 
many old tools all over the island. They believed it must have taken about a year to make each statue, 
with five or six people working on each one.
4 ______________________________________
This is a more difficult question! Some of the statues are huge, and people can’t have carried them using 
just their hands. The largest stones are nearly ten metres long, and weigh about 18,000 kilograms. 
Professor Carla Lopez says, ‘The people must have had some way of moving these stones. Some 
archeologists think they might have pulled the stones across the island using ropes. But the stones were 
so heavy, it must have taken between 180 and 250 men to pull each one.’
5 ______________________________________
We don’t know. Most people believe that the statues represent people who had died. However, according 
to Professor Lopez, ‘We can’t explain why the ancient islanders put so much work into creating these 
statues, and why so many of the statues are looking away from the ocean. Perhaps the artists believed 
they were looking towards the villages on the island, to protect them.’
6 ______________________________________
Today Easter Island is a World Heritage site. Thousands of visitors come to study and admire the statues 
every year. Most people just take photos, but there have been some problems. In 2008, a tourist tried to 
take a piece of a statue’s ear home as a souvenir. He had to pay $17,000, and he couldn’t go back to the 
island for three years.
Task 1. Complete the headings with the questions below.
 A. How did people make the Moai?
 B. How did people move the Moai?
 C. What about the Moai today?
 D. What are the Moai?
 E. What do the Moai look like?
