2
The Tower of Pisa, Machu Picchu, The Taj Mahal.
3
You probably know them as famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, structures and monuments of great cultural value.
4
But what about the Mediterranean Diet, the Beijing Opera, or the art of pizza making in Naples?
5
What do these have in common?
6
Traditions like these are known as intangible cultural heritage.
7
In contrast to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, intangible heritage does not include buildings like palaces and temples.
8
Instead, it includes traditional art forms such as music,
9
dance, and craft making, living traditions that are an important part of a place's culture.
10
UNESCO began to identify cultural traditions in 2008.
11
Among the first on their list were the Puppet Theatre of Sicily and Mexico's Day of the Dead Festival.
12
By 2017 UNESCO had approved more than 300 diverse practices.
13
These include cultural events like the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, performing arts including Spanish flamenco,
14
martial arts such as Brazilian capoeira and Korean tequion, and handicrafts like Japanese washi papermaking.
15
In 2010, UNESCO also began to include important regional cuisines, starting with French and Mexican food.
16
Other types of food and drink have since been added, such as Korean kimchi and Croatian gingerbread.
17
Arabic coffee was included in 2015.
18
The sharing of coffee has been an important aspect of Arab hospitality for centuries, according to UNESCO, and is a symbol of generosity.
19
Protecting cultural roots Cultural rituals are an important part of the UNESCO list.
20
An example is the Clemsen wedding ritual in Algeria.
21
The ritual begins in the bride's parents' home, where friends and female relatives help the bride prepare for the ceremony.
22
The bride is first dressed in a golden silk dress.
23
Symbolic henna designs are applied to her hands.
24
Before leaving the house for the ceremony, her face is wrapped in a golden silk veil.
25
Later, during the wedding feast, the bride removes her veil, ready to be married.
26
The tradition has passed from one generation to the next and marks the community's cultural identity.
27
Some of the cultural items on the list are dying out and in need of protection.
28
An example is al-Sadu, traditional weaving in the United Arab Emirates.
29
The tradition was once widely practiced by communities of desert Bedouin women.
30
However, many Bedouin have now moved to cities, and so the practice has begun to disappear.
31
Today, al-Sadhu is mostly practiced by older women whose numbers are declining.
32
The main goal of UNESCO is to promote peace through respect for the world's varied cultures and common humanity.
33
It hopes that by bringing attention to cultural traditions such as al-Sadhu, they will be more likely to survive.
34
Cultural traditions are important to fight for, says Cecile Duvel of UNESCO.
35
The more globalized the world becomes, she says, the more important it is not to lose these traditional roots.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
