Visiting sacred places
Gift giving
Say what people should and shouldn’t do in the following situations in Vietnam
1. attending a wedding
2. attending a funeral
Group 2 are happy to share something which we should do when attending a funeral: • Firstly, we should dress
appropriately. This means we should wear dark clothes and avoid anything too flashy or casual.
• Secondly, Offer condolences. We should greet the family of the deceased / dəˈsēst/ and express your
sympathy. You can say something simple and sincere / sinˈsir/, such as “I’m so sorry for your loss”
• Besides, Behave respectfully. During the funeral, you should turn off your phone, avoid talking or making
noise.
• Finally, Bring a gift or donation. We can bring a gift or donation to show your support to the family of the
deceased. This could be flowers or money.
Nhóm 5: When you are invited to a Vietnamese family for dinner, you should note a few things as follows:
1. You should say something as a way to ask for permission to start eating. From the oldest to the youngest one
in turn.
2. You should learn how to use chopsticks because Vietnamese people often use chopsticks to pick up food.
3. You should use a shared ladle or spoon if you want to remove food from shared dishes.
4. Many families add fish sauce to their food, you need to be prepared if you don't like the smell
5. In addition, you can bring a little fruit as a gift. In general, Vietnamese people are very hospitable. We are
also not too strict if you make a few mistakes. As long as you feel comfortable during the meal. Do not worry!

your hometown?

2. Kinds of vacation
Prefer A to B
Yuna prefers a relaxing vacation to a nature vacation.
Yuna prefers taking a beach vacation to going camping.
Which place do you prefer for this summer vacation, Tam Dao Mountain
or Da Nang?
I prefer Tam Dao to Da Nang because Tam Dao is quite near and
beautiful. I don’t choose Da Nang because I don’t have enough time and
money.
Da Nang is very expensive and I can’t afford a trip there.
Topic 4: Make a conversation with your partner about your last vacation. You should consider
the following ideas:
1. Where and when did you go for your last vacation?
2. What did you do on your last vacation?
3. How did you feel about your last vacation?
Last summer, I spent one week in Paris. Well, I had a great time. I did quite a lot of
sightseeing in the first few days – the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and all the usual tourist
attractions. Most places were absolutely packed with tourists. On the third day, I decided
to explore one or two shopping areas and I bought many lovely souvenirs. I got lost on
my way back to the hotel, but it didn’t matter because I discovered a really fascinating
street market selling just about everything from apples to antiques.
The best part of the trip was about food. I ate in the hotel the first night but then I went
out for dinner – the restaurants were great and I could get a set meal for €20.
