Read the following passage. Then, decide whether the first four statements are True or False, and choose the correct answer for the remaining two questions.
To an outsider, cosplay might just look like dressing up. However, for a global community of fans, it is a serious performance art. At major events like Comic-Con, or even local festivals at the Youth Cultural House in Ho Chi Minh City, cosplay is celebrated as a complex hobby. It goes far beyond simply wearing a costume; it is about bringing a fictional character to life through a combination of creativity, skill, and dedication that many people underestimate.
One of the most demanding aspects of cosplay is the craftsmanship involved. Many top-tier cosplayers spend hundreds of hours creating their own outfits. This process requires a wide range of skills, from sewing fabrics to sculpting armor and building props from materials like foam and plastic. This meticulous work ensures that every detail of the character's appearance, from the smallest button to the largest weapon, is accurately recreated.
Beyond the physical costume, the performance element is what truly completes a cosplay. A great cosplayer doesn't just look like the character; they become the character. This involves studying the character’s personality, imitating their unique way of walking and talking, and posing for photos in a way that feels authentic. This acting skill separates a simple costume from a memorable and convincing performance that captures the spirit of the original character.
So, what drives this passion? For many, cosplay is a powerful way to connect with others who share the same interests, creating a strong sense of community. Participating in cosplay events can also be a significant confidence booster. As a result of successfully embodying a character they admire, many young people feel more comfortable expressing themselves and gain valuable social skills that last a lifetime.

According to the passage, an authentic-looking costume is all that is needed for a successful cosplay.
- True
- False
Question 26

- True
- False
Question 27
The passage indicates that being part of the cosplay community can boost a person's confidence.
- True
- False
Question 28
Crafting a detailed cosplay outfit often involves skills like sculpting and building, not just sewing.
- True
- False
Question 29
According to paragraph 4, what is one positive result of participating in cosplay communities?
- It guarantees they will become famous online.
- It teaches them how to sew and build props.
