Mr. John<\/td>\nAnh \u0111ang \u0103n m\u00f3n b\u00edt t\u1ebft t\u00e1i.<\/span>
\nI am eating rare steak.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ms. Van<\/td>\nTh\u1ecbt s\u1ed1ng \u01b0?<\/span>

\nIf you eat meat raw like that, won’t you get a stomachache?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\nKh\u00f4ng h\u1ec1. Th\u1ecbt b\u00f2 \u1edf M\u1ef9 \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c ki\u1ec3m tra r\u1ea5t nghi\u00eam ng\u1eb7t n\u00ean ch\u1eafc ch\u1eafn kh\u00f4ng sao.<\/span>
\nNot at all. Beef in the US is inspected very strictly, so it is definitely safe.
\nNg\u01b0\u1eddi M\u1ef9 r\u1ea5t nghi\u1ec7n m\u00f3n n\u00e0y.<\/span>
\nAmericans are addicted to this dish.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ms. Van<\/td>\n\u1ed2 v\u1eady h\u1ea3. \u1ede Vi\u1ec7t Nam, m\u1ecdi ng\u01b0\u1eddi th\u01b0\u1eddng kh\u00f4ng \u0103n \u0111\u1ed3 s\u1ed1ng. V\u00ed d\u1ee5 nh\u01b0 c\u00e1, th\u1ecbt, tr\u1ee9ng,… s\u1ed1ng.<\/span>
\nReally? In Vietnam, people usually don’t eat raw food. For example, raw fish, meat, eggs…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\n\u1ee6a, t\u1ea1i sao v\u1eady?<\/span>
\nOh, why is that?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ms. Van<\/td>\nV\u00ec ng\u01b0\u1eddi ta ngh\u0129 r\u1eb1ng trong \u0111\u1ed3 s\u1ed1ng c\u00f3 r\u1ea5t nhi\u1ec1u vi khu\u1ea9n, \u0103n v\u00e0o s\u1ebd d\u1ec5 b\u1ecb ng\u1ed9 \u0111\u1ed9c th\u1ef1c ph\u1ea9m, r\u1ea5t nguy hi\u1ec3m<\/span>
\nBecause people think raw food contains a lot of bacteria, and eating it can easily cause food poisoning, which is very dangerous.
\nH\u01a1n n\u1eefa, Vi\u1ec7t Nam l\u00e0 n\u01b0\u1edbc nhi\u1ec7t \u0111\u1edbi, r\u1ea5t d\u1ec5 sinh ra vi khu\u1ea9n.<\/span>
\nMoreover, Vietnam is a tropical country, so bacteria grow easily.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\nV\u1eady \u00e0. \u1ede M\u1ef9 th\u00ec kh\u00e1c.<\/span>
\nI see. In the US, it’s different.

\nSteak is a famous American dish, and people often eat it rare. Americans believe that the original taste of fresh ingredients is the best.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ms. Van<\/td>\nNg\u01b0\u1eddi M\u1ef9 kh\u00f4ng s\u1ee3 khi \u0103n \u0111\u1ed3 s\u1ed1ng, h\u1ea3 anh?<\/span>

Mr. John<\/td>\n\u0110\u01b0\u01a1ng nhi\u00ean l\u00e0 kh\u00f4ng. <\/span>
\nOf course not.
\nNh\u1eefng th\u1ef1c ph\u1ea9m nh\u01b0 th\u1ecbt b\u00f2… \u1edf M\u1ef9 \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c ki\u1ec3m d\u1ecbch r\u1ea5t nghi\u00eam ng\u1eb7t. N\u00ean m\u1ecdi ng\u01b0\u1eddi ho\u00e0n to\u00e0n y\u00ean t\u00e2m.<\/span>
\nFoods like beef… in the US are inspected strictly. So everyone is completely assured.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ms. Van<\/td>\nEm th\u1ea5y d\u1ea1o n\u00e0y \u1edf Vi\u1ec7t Nam c\u00f3 r\u1ea5t nhi\u1ec1u nh\u00e0 h\u00e0ng B\u00edt t\u1ebft.<\/span>
\nI see there are many Steak restaurants in Vietnam lately.

\nIt seems Vietnamese people are gradually getting used to eating rare food.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\n\n

\u1eea, c\u00f3 l\u1ebd v\u1eady.
\n<\/span>Yes, maybe so.

\n<\/span>Indeed, rare steak is a dish that not everyone can eat.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Ms. Van<\/td>\n\u0110\u00fang v\u1eady. Nh\u01b0ng n\u1ebfu \u0111\u00e3 \u0103n \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c r\u1ed3i th\u00ec tr\u1edf n\u00ean nghi\u1ec7n lu\u00f4n.<\/span>
\nThat’s right. But once you can eat it, you become addicted.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\n\u1eea, th\u00fa v\u1ecb th\u1eadt.<\/span>
