WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer. (1.6 pts)
Vietnamese Lifestyle – Past and Now
Life in Vietnam has changed significantly over the past few decades. In the past, most
Vietnamese people lived in small villages and worked mainly in agriculture. Their lives were simple,
and they grew their own food, cooked with firewood, and used bicycles or walked to travel.
Today, many people live in cities, and their lifestyle has become much more modern.
Technology plays an important role in everyday life. People use smartphones, electric cookers, and
motorbikes or cars for transportation. Families now have access to better healthcare and education,
and they enjoy more forms of entertainment like movies, shopping malls, and the internet.
Despite these changes, some traditional values such as respect for elders and strong family bonds
remain important. Tet holiday, for example, is still celebrated widely, and people continue to wear
traditional clothing like the ao dai on special occasions.
