THE KITE RUNNER

Ali and Baba grew up together as childhood playmates just like Hassan and I grew up a generation later. Baba was always telling us about their mischiefs he and Ali used to cause. But in none of his stories did Baba ever refer to Ali as his friend.

The curious thing was, I never thought of Hassan and me as friends either. 1 _____ Never mind that we taught each other to ride a bicycle with no hands, or to build a fully functional homemade camera out of a cardboard box. Never mind that we spent entire winters flying kites, running kites. Never mind that to me, the face of Afghanistan is that of a boy with a thin-boned frame, a shaved head, and low-set ears, a boy with a Chinese doll face perpetually lit by a harelipped smile.

Never mind any of those things. 2 _____ Neither is religion. In the end, I was a Pashtun and he was a Hazara, I was Sunni and he was Shi'a, and nothing was ever going to change that. Nothing.

We saw our first Western together, Rio Bravo with John Wayne, at the Cinema Park. I remember begging Baba to take us to Iran so we could meet John Wayne. Baba burst out in gales of his deep-throated laughter and then explained to us the concept of voice dubbing. 3 _____ John Wayne didn't really speak Farsi and he wasn't Iranian! He was American, just like the friendly, long-haired men and women we always saw hanging around in Kabul, dressed in their tattered, brightly colored shirts.

During the school year, we had a daily routine. By the time I dragged myself out of bed and lumbered to the- bathroom, Hassan had already washed up, prayed the morning namaz with Ali, and prepared my breakfast. While I ate and complained about homework, Hassan made my bed, polished my shoes, ironed my outfit for the day, packed my books and pencils. 4 _____

(Adapted from The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini)

(Làm việc theo cặp. Tại sao thường khó hình thành tình bạn với những người có nền văn hóa hoặc xã hội khác nhau? Sử dụng các ý tưởng dưới đây và thêm ý tưởng của riêng bạn.)

Gợi ý đáp án

A: As far as I'm concerned, one reason why it's often difficult to form friendships with people from different cultural or social backgrounds is because of different hobbies and interests.

B: My view is that when people have different hobbies and interests, it can be hard to find common ground and activities to do together, which can hinder the development of a strong bond.

A: To my mind, another challenge is other people's attitudes. Sometimes, individuals may hold preconceived notions or stereotypes about others from different backgrounds, which can create barriers to forming genuine connections.

B: In my opinion, having different views, opinions, or outlooks on life can also make it challenging to form friendships. When people have contrasting perspectives, it can lead to misunderstandings or conflicts, making it difficult to establish trust and rapport.
