Organic food is better for people because it is safe and healthier. Today, many governments

other artificial products. The aim is to show that they (28) __________ about the environment and
about people's health. But is this the right approach?

really important thing is that organic sounds more "natural'. Eating organic is a way of defining
oneself as natural, good, caring, different from the junk-food-scoffing masses. As one journalist puts
it: "It feels closer to the source, the beginning, the start of things."

pesticides. Techniques such as crop rotation improve soil quality and help organic farmers (30)

labour and land, there are severe limits to how much food can be produced.

Cheo singing is believed to have originated in the 11th century, and has its roots in village
festivals in the Red River Delta. After crop harvest, the farmers hold the festivals which include a
series of activities such as plays, Cheo singing, etc. to exchange the information as well as to make
new relationships. Since then, many national Cheo repertoires which are considered treasures of the
traditional stage are created, examples are Truong Vien, Kim Nhan, Luu Binh Duong Le and Quan
Am Thi Kinh.
Like many ancient performance arts in Vietnam like Xam singing or Tuong, Cheo singing is
an oral one win stories composed by anonymous author-performers and orally passed on to fellow
performers. In this folk art performance, stories which can be legends, poetry, history or even daily
life are the most important, “whenever there are stories, we have Cheo” said an experienced Cheo
actor.
Cheo tells tales of chiefs, heroes and lovely maidens and offers an eclectic mix of romance,
tragedy and comedy. These stories are performed by folk songs with pantomime, instrumental music
and dances, combined with instructive or interpretative sketches.
Beside the stories, the characters are the soul of a play. Like Tuong, Cheo uses standard stock
characters - usually a hero, a heroine and a clown - who are instantly recognizable to the audience.
Cheo stories may sometimes be romantic or tragic but they are delivered in an amusing or satirical
way as well as to make fun of ridiculous or dishonest characters.
