Việt Nam - Past and Present

Life in Việt Nam today is different from life in the past and it is still changing.

FAMILY.

In the past, parents, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins often lived together in an extended family. Today, it is common that a nuclear family with parents and children live in a household.

TRANSPORT.

In the past, Vietnamese people mostly travelled on foot. They also got around by hand-drawn carts (richshaws) or bicycle carts (cyclos). Today, motorcycles are popular, but these are also cars, buses, trains and planes.

HOUSING.

A long time ago, most Vietnamese people lived in cottages or small houses, but a lot of people live in tube houses today. Flats in skyscrapers are popular in big cities while there are lots of small brick houses in the countryside.

WORK.

In the old days, men worked outside the home while women stayed home to do the housework and raise children. Nowadays, both the husband and the wife work and make a good living to support the family.

Inventions That Changed History

Do you want to learn about inventions that changed history? Then keep reading!

1) Radio

Guglielmo Marconi invented the first radio in 1895. It used radio waves to send messages instead of wires. The radio became an important means of communication in the 20th century. However, the message only went one way, so people couldn't use it to have conversations. Instead, they used it to broadcast important messages, songs and stories.

2) The Internet

There wasn't one inventor of the Internet and the idea started longer ago than you think. Since the 1950s, many scientists were working to create the networks of electrical connections all over the world - what we call the Internet today. We can use the Internet to communicate with text, sound or even video. Some people say it is the most important invention in history. What do you think?

3) Smartphone

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, and people kept improving his invention over time. The technology company IBM developed the first smartphone in 1993. However, it wasn't until Apple created the iPhone in 2007 that phones with screens became popular. Today, over 7 billion people have smartphones.
