SPEAKING
Task 1. Theo cặp, các em hãy bày tỏ quan điểm của mình qua cách dùng các câu mẫu sử dụng từ / nhóm từ cho sẵn trong khung.
1. A. I think it's a good idea to have three or four generations living together under one roof. They can help one another a lot.
B. I don't agree. It's been said there's a “generation Hap” between the old and the young. Therefore, there may usually be conflicts among family members. In some countries, specially in developing countries, old-aeed people like to live in a nursing homes, where they can lead independent lives.
2. C. In my opinion, it's obvious a happy marriage should he based on love, the true love, because love is the prerequisite for the family happiness. Only the true love can bring about forgiveness and sacrifice.
D. That's true. It’s love that joins a man with a woman together.
3. E. I don’t think it's a good idea that love can be supposed to follow the marriage. It's an obsolete thought. Everyone should have a right to make decisions for his / her own, especially the one relating to his /her personal life. In the other hand, he / she determines and chooses his / her spouse freely. We love something whenever we know and understand it well. The more we know (something), the more we like (it).
F. That’s my thought, too. A happy marriage should he built on love.
4. G. I think it's OK. Holding one's hands is a way to express one’s feelings or love, especially the intimacy.
H. I agree with you. How about kissing each other in public?
G. Personally, it’s not our traditional culture. Our personal feelings may not be performed in public. I mean in front of other people, except for appropriate or necessary circumstances.

Three or sometimes four generations live under one roof Elders live with children and are taken care by their sons. Asking about age, marriage and salary is acceptable. A Vietnamese greets the head of the family or an older person first, then the younger ones. Groceries are bought every day. Tet (Lunar New Year) is the most important. Vietnamese celebrate death days. They prepare meal and invite their relatives to get together and talk about respect of the dead person. Children often sleep with their parents. |
