V. Reading comprehension (30–33)

In the past, life in Viet Nam was very different from what it is today. Most people lived in extended families with many young generations under one roof. Children often spent their time playing traditional games like tug-of-war or hide-and-seek instead of using electronic devices. Modern technology was not available, so people communicated face-to-face and shared stories around communal house fire or in the village courtyard. This lifestyle helped maintain a strong sense of community and family attachment.
However, as the country undergoes modernization, many traditional customs have changed. Nowadays nuclear families are becoming more common in urban areas. While people enjoy the convenience of the internet and smartphones, some elderly people feel nostalgic for the simplicity of the old days. They worry that younger generations might forget their roots and the hard work of ancestors. To preserve these values, many schools have organized field trips to historical museums and craft villages.
Experts believe that looking back at the past is not about living in it, but about learning from it. By understanding how their grandparents lived, young people can appreciate the progress of the country. When students participate in traditional festivals, they can feel a connection to their heritage. Preserving the past is a way to ensure that the unique cultural identity of the nation remains vibrant for years to come.
