📖 Chủ đề: Vietnamese lifestyle: Then and Now – Lối sống người Việt: Xưa và Nay

Phong: Grandpa, do you mind telling me how our lives are different from yours in the past?

Grandpa: Well, there are many differences. In my day, we mostly played outdoors. The games were simple and cost little. We made our own toys from natural materials.

Phong: That sounds interesting. Nowadays, most leisure games depend on electronic devices.

Grandpa: Right, but that is mostly true in the city only. Many children in the countryside still play traditional games.

Phong: I know.

Grandpa: Another thing is that children nowadays have more freedom of choice. They wear short dresses and jeans with holes. They also dye their hair purple and green.

Phong: Ha ha... Not many, Grandpa.

Grandpa: Hm... And many children of my generation left school early to support their families. Moreover, there were not many schools then.

Phong: You mean we have more opportunities to learn now?

Grandpa: That's right.

Phong: Do you think these changes are for the better?

Grandpa: Yes, they mostly are. They have improved our living conditions.

Phong: Thank you, Grandpa.
