WARM-UP

The differences
between life
in the past and
at present?

PRACTICE - READING

1 Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.
Not long ago, open-air markets played an important part in the lives of the Vietnamese.
Wherever there was open space, the local people could start their own market. There,
you could find almost everything from local home-made and home-grown products to
those that the sellers bought wholesale from somewhere and resold them for a profit.
Since the locals went there nearly every day, they knew one another, and the sellers
even remembered the customers' preferences. Then supermarkets came and soon
became popular. There are many reasons to explain their popularity. First, they offer a
cool and large shopping site. Shoppers can spend hours in them without worrying about
heat or rain. Second, they provide shoppers with a wide range of goods, from foods and
kitchenware to cosmetics and pet care products. People do not have to move from shop
to shop to collect all the things they need. Nowadays, many supermarkets even offer
home-delivery service and online shopping, which makes shopping even easier.

PRACTICE - SPEAKING

2Work in groups. Choose ONE of the things below and discuss it, using
the cues. Then present it to your class.

Our group will talk about the conical hat. It's a
symbol of Vietnamese women. They wear it to
protect them from sunlight and rain whenever they
go out, whether on foot or by bike. It was used in
the past, still in use at the present, and will
continue to exist in the future. The change is not
in the hat itself. It's still the same in shape, colour,
and materials. The change is in the use. More
women change to cloth hats as they are more
convenient to carry. However, you can still find
conical hats in every corner of Viet Nam.

PRACTICE - LISTENING

3 Listen to a talk about entertainment for Vietnamese children in the
past and complete each sentence with ONE word.

equipment
1. Games in the past required little ___________.
rainwater
2. We floated paper boats on imagined 'rivers' formed from __________.
3. Thanks to making our own toys, we became creative
________.

groups outdoors.
4. We played most games in _______
strong bonds among us.
5. Team games helped develop _______

Entertainment for children in the past was very different from now.
In my time, playing was cheap or cost nothing. We just chose a
place suitable for our games: a smaller space for games like tug of
war or hide-and-seek, and a bigger space for football and kite
flying. Most of those games required little equipment. We also
floated paper boats on imagined 'rivers' formed from rainwater, or
played cooking with any thing we found in and around our house.
We collected natural materials like sticks and leaves or used
things like paper and bottles to make toys and play games. This
helped us become creative. Another amazing thing is we mostly
played in groups outdoors. Therefore, we got to know one another
well and developed strong bonds among us. We had more stories
to share when we met again years later.
