Let's Talk!

In pairs: Look at the picture. What are the relationships between these people? What Vietnamese family traditions and customs do you know?

(Theo cặp: Quan sát tranh. Mối quan hệ giữa những người này là gì? Bạn biết những truyền thống, phong tục gia đình Việt Nam nào?)

Gợi ý đáp án

Based on the description of the picture showing an extended family gathering to make "trưng cake" (bánh chưng or bánh tét) during Tet (Lunar New Year), we can infer several relationships and Vietnamese family traditions:

Family Relationships: In the picture, we would likely see multiple generations of family members, including grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, and perhaps even distant relatives. The act of coming together to make trưng cake suggests a close-knit family bond and a shared tradition passed down through generations.

Collaborative Tradition: Making trưng cake during Tet is a significant tradition in Vietnamese culture. It involves a labor-intensive process where family members work together to prepare the ingredients, wrap them in banana leaves, and boil them for several hours. This tradition fosters teamwork and cooperation among family members.

Cultural Significance: Trưng cake is associated with Tet, the most important holiday in Vietnamese culture. It symbolizes prosperity, good fortune, and the coming of spring. By participating in the preparation of trưng cake, family members uphold cultural traditions and reinforce their cultural identity.

Respect for Elders: During the process of making trưng cake, younger family members often defer to elders and follow their instructions. This reflects the traditional Vietnamese value of respect for elders and the passing down of knowledge and wisdom from one generation to the next.

Shared Meals and Celebrations: After making trưng cake, the family may gather to share a meal and celebrate the Lunar New Year together. This communal gathering reinforces the importance of family unity and togetherness during festive occasions.

B: No, not really. We're a nuclear family, just me, my parents, and my brother.

A: Oh, that's nice. Do you see your extended family often?

A: Got it. Do you know anyone who's divorced?

B: Yes, my cousin recently got divorced. His wife didn't want to stay with him anymore.

A: I see. And what about your grandparents?

B: Unfortunately, I don't have any grandparents left. They all passed away when I was young.

What things do you agree or disagree with Mrs. Nguyễn about? Why?

(Thảo luận nhóm: Bạn có thể thấy những thay đổi nào được đề cập trong cuộc phỏng vấn trong gia đình mình? Bạn đồng ý hay không đồng ý với bà Nguyễn về điều gì? Tại sao?)

Gợi ý đáp án

Changes mentioned in the interview:

Smaller Family Size: Like Mrs. Nguyễn mentioned, my family has also experienced a decrease in family size compared to previous generations. Most of my relatives now have nuclear families instead of extended ones.

Roles of Family Members: Similar to the interview, the roles of family members in my family have evolved. While in the past, the husband was traditionally the breadwinner and the wife stayed at home, nowadays, both parents often work, and responsibilities are more evenly distributed.

Agreement/Disagreement with Mrs. Nguyễn:

Positive Aspects of Smaller Families: I agree with Mrs. Nguyễn that smaller family sizes can foster independence. However, I also see her point about weaker connections between relatives, which can sometimes be a downside.

Attitudes Towards Being Single: While Mrs. Nguyễn sees the choice to be single or a single parent as positive, I agree with her partially. It's positive that individuals have more freedom to choose their lifestyles, but it's essential to acknowledge the challenges that come with being single, especially for single parents.

Changing Gender Roles: I agree with Mrs. Nguyễn's observation about changing gender roles in families. Men helping with housework and both parents working are positive developments that contribute to more equitable relationships within families.

(Thảo luận theo cặp: Thảo luận về cách mà mọi người nhớ về truyền thống và phong tục gia đình trong quá khứ và so sánh chúng với hiện tại. Thảo luận về các điểm sau.)

Gợi ý đáp án

A: Hi, let's talk about how people remember family traditions and customs in the past compared to today.

B: Sure, sounds interesting. So, in the past, people often had different dynamics in their parent-child relationships. Parents were usually more authoritative and children had to obey them without question.

A: Yeah, that's true. But nowadays, there seems to be more emphasis on open communication and mutual respect between parents and children. Parents often encourage their kids to express themselves and make decisions together as a family.

B: Right. Another thing that's changed is family size. Back then, families tended to be larger, with several children and sometimes even extended family members living together under one roof.

A: Definitely. But now, families are generally smaller, with fewer children. This change might be due to various factors like economic considerations, lifestyle choices, and access to birth control.

B: And what about family meals? I remember my grandparents telling me how everyone used to gather around the table for dinner every night, but nowadays, with busy schedules and different dietary preferences, it's not always easy to have regular family meals together.

A: Yeah, that's a noticeable change. But some families still make it a priority to have at least one meal together every day, even if it's just breakfast or dinner.

B: How about marriage? In the past, people often got married at a younger age, and arranged marriages were more common. But now, there's more emphasis on personal choice and finding a partner based on compatibility and shared values.

A: That's right. And regarding member roles within the family, traditional gender roles used to be more rigidly defined. Men were typically the breadwinners while women took care of the household and children. But now, there's more flexibility and equality in how responsibilities are shared within families.

B: Exactly. It's interesting to see how family dynamics and traditions have evolved over time, reflecting changes in society and cultural values.

A: Definitely. It's important to remember and appreciate our family traditions from the past while also embracing the changes and opportunities of the present.

B: Absolutely. Our family traditions and customs are an important part of our identity and heritage, and it's up to us to pass them on to future generations.

b. Do you think the changes are better or worse? Why?

(Bạn nghĩ những thay đổi liệu tốt hay tệ hơn? Tại sao?)

Gợi ý đáp án

I think the change in family size is better. Living with many people can be uncomfortable.

I think the change in parent-child relationship is better. In the past, there was often a strict hierarchy where children were expected to unquestioningly obey their parents. Nowadays, there's more emphasis on mutual respect and open communication, allowing for healthier and more supportive relationships within the family.

I think the change in member roles is better. In the past, gender roles were often rigidly defined, with specific expectations for each family member based on their gender. However, today, there is more flexibility and equality in how responsibilities are distributed within the family. This allows individuals to pursue their interests and strengths regardless of gender, leading to more fulfilling and harmonious family dynamics.

I think the change in family meals is worse. In the past, having regular family meals together was a common practice that helped strengthen bonds and foster communication within the family. However, nowadays, with busy schedules and various commitments, it's becoming increasingly challenging for families to sit down together for meals. This can lead to a loss of quality family time and may have negative effects on family relationships and cohesion.
