Vietnam is still a highly agrarian society with eighty percent of the population living in country villages.
With the habit of working in teams and being helpful to one another, villagers usually earn their living from
farming, raising livestock and making handicrafts. They live in a small community with a temple or a communal
cultural house where great events, such as festivals worshipping the village god and traditional games are
organized. Villagers in the South usually live in houses lined up along central road and built on stilts (upright
poles) to keep above flood waters. Along the coastal lines, fishermen depend on the sea to make a living. In
Central Vietnam, a place suffering lots of natural disasters all the year round, people tend to be more hard-
working than those in regions with favorable conditions. People in the central highlands and the northern
mountains mostly lived by growing rice, rubber trees, coffee and tea as well as hunting. However,

agriculture. Instead of working in farms, many people choose to work in industrial zones or move to cities in
search of a better job.

Twenty years ago people realized that computers were about to become part of our daily lives. This short period
of time has seen enormous changes in business, education and public administration. Jobs which took weeks to
complete in the past are now carried out in minutes. Clerks who spent all day copying and checking calculations
are now freed from these tedious tasks. In offices, the soft hum and clicking of word processors have replaced the
clatters of typewriters. Schoolchildren have become as familiar with hardware and software as their parents used
to be with pencils and exercise books. Computerization of public records has enable government departments to
analyze the need of citizens in detail. Some of us many wonder, however, whether life has really improved as a
result of these changes. Many jobs disappeared, for example, when intelligent machines took over the work.
Employers complain that clerical staff has become dependent on calculators and can’t do simple arithmetic. There
are fears that governments haven’t done enough to ensure that personal information held on computers is really
kept secret. Certainly, many people may not be wondering whether the spread of computers has brought us as
many problems as it has solved.

Everybody loves movies. We see them at theatre and watch them on TV. They are popular with children and
adults, too. We can learn from them, or we can have a good time watching them. They are a wonderful
invention.
We also call movies 'motion pictures'. 'Motion' is a noun for 'moving'. People have tried to show motion in
pictures for centuries. Even prehistoric artists showed animals running in the cave pictures.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, several Europeans and Americans tried to make movies. No one
knows who made the first one. New York City had the first movie theatre in 1894. People put money in a small
machine and looked into it at the movie. By 1900, movies were popular all over Europe and the United States.
They were not very good, but people liked them because they were new and different.
Every year people invented ways to make movies better. They invented machines to show the pictures on a
screen. Then everyone could see the motion pictures on the front wall of a theatre instead of inside a small
machine. In 1927, inventors added sound to movies. Then they added color.
Today it costs several million dollars to make a movie. However, movie makers collect millions of dollars
from people at movie theatres because everyone loves movies.
