- Charles is from France. He said that the first time he had been to Viet Nam was in 1965. He said that many people were/had been illiterate then but he was astonished that after nearly 30 years there was no more illiteracy although the population had nearly tripled. He was also surprised to learn that the country was one of the largest rice exporting countries.

3. Work in groups. Use the suggestions in the table to write as many posts as possible about the recent changes in Viet Nam that you have heard of or read about. Remember to use adjectives or adverbs to modify the changes.
Which of the changes do you think are the most beneficial?
I think there have been considerable changes in the way people work in our country for over ten years. There is more technology and equipment than before in our country…
I went to Viet Nam in 1996. There were mostly manual labor and agricultural productions. 12 years later, when I came back, the country had dramatically changed, there were more technology and equipment and more industrial production too.
Last year, I went back to Ho Chi Minh city after 20 years and to my surprise, there were more services. There were also many opportunities for university (inside and outside the country), which were another surprise for me.
Talk about recent changes in our neighborhood.
Example:
Our neighborhood has dramatically changed for 10 years.
Before there was mostly agricultural production, but there is more industrial production now…
