tape transcript
Ethnic minority children might live the life different from that of most
Kinh children. They spend some of their time helping their parents
inside and outside the house. They learn to work from an early age,
usually at six. Girls help look after the house, care for smaller children,
weave clothing, and prepare food. Boys learn to do what their fathers
do. They grow crops, raise the family's livestock, and catch fish.
In the evening, the family often gathers round the open fire. Children
listen to stories or legends of heroes from their grandparents. They also
listen to adults talk about their work. This is how the elders pass on
traditions and knowledge to their children.
Nowadays, more and more minority children are going to school. There,
they meet children from other ethnic groups. They play new games and
learn new things.

my parents to do the housework. I often clean the floor
