Work ill groups. Discuss the question: “What are the differences between a traditional Vietnamese family and a modern Vietnamese family?” (Là việc từng nhóm. Thảo luận câu hỏi:" Sự khác biệt giữa gia đình Việt Nam truyền thống và gia đình Việt Nam hiện đại?”)
A. I see the traditional Vietnamese family as well as family life is changing a lot. A modern Vietnamese family is quite different from the traditional one.
B. That’s right. First, in my opinion, it's the size. A traditional family was usually an extended family, that is there are more than one generation living together under one roof.
C. But now a modern family is usually a nuclear family, consisting of only parents and their children.
D. OK. And the key fact we should mention is the number of children. A traditional family was usually a large one, with more than three. In some families, people could find the number of children up to ten or even more. On the contrary, a modem family, especially families in big cities, has only one or two children at most.
A. Next, in a traditional family, the father takes all responsibilities for the family. In other words, father works and earns money to support the whole family. The woman’s tasks are confined within the family: bearing children and doing all the housework.
C. And what’s more husband and wife should share household work together.
D. That's the interesting idea about the modern family: everyone in a family has his / her own responsibility to do, that is he / she should take part in the maintenance or the building of the family's happiness.
A. OK. The husband and the wife must have the partnership of equals in the family: no one is superior to the other. Both have their corresponding responsibilities for his /her own.
