SKILL

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.

SPEAKING

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

1. conical hat

2. smart TV

3. open wood fire

- Does the thing in the picture represent the past, present, or both?

- Has it changed over time? If it has, how is it different?

- What do you think about the change?

Answer:

1. Conical Hat

- Past, Present, or Both?: The conical hat, known as "nón lá" in Vietnam, represents both the past and the present.

- Change Over Time: While the design has largely remained the same, the materials and decorative elements may have evolved. In the past, these hats were made strictly from natural materials like palm leaves and bamboo. Nowadays, some versions might include synthetic materials or be used more as cultural symbols and souvenirs rather than everyday wear.

- Thoughts on the Change: The conical hat remains an iconic symbol of Vietnamese culture. The preservation of its traditional design while adapting to modern contexts is a positive change, as it keeps cultural heritage alive while accommodating contemporary uses.

2. Smart TV

- Past, Present, or Both?: The smart TV is a representation of the present.

- Change Over Time: Television has drastically changed over time. From bulky black-and-white sets to color TVs, then to flat-screen LCDs and now smart TVs with internet connectivity and advanced features.

- Thoughts on the Change: The evolution of TV technology has significantly enhanced the viewing experience, offering high-definition content, streaming services, and interactive features. This change is beneficial as it provides more convenience, a wider range of entertainment options, and better picture quality.

3. Open Wood Fire

- Past, Present, or Both?: The open wood fire primarily represents the past but is still used in some contexts today.

- Change Over Time: In the past, open wood fires were a common means of cooking and heating. Today, they have been largely replaced by modern stoves and heating systems in many parts of the world. However, they are still used in rural areas, for camping, or for traditional cooking methods.

- Thoughts on the Change: The shift to modern heating and cooking methods has made life more convenient and safer by reducing the risk of fire hazards and respiratory issues caused by smoke. However, the open wood fire remains a nostalgic and culturally significant practice in many communities, preserving a connection to traditional ways of life
