Lan: We have dinner at 7.00. But you can come before 6.15 so we can watch ‘The Adventure of the Cricket' together.

TV in Viet Nam

Thirty years ago in Viet Nam, very few people had TV sets. These TV owners were very popular. After dinner, their neighbors gathered both inside and outside their houses. Some watched through the windows.

All evening, they sat and watched the black and white programs. The older people might sleep a little and the children might play with their friends, but no one went home until the TV programs finished.

Time?; have changed. Today, many families have a TV set. People sit in their own living rooms and watch TV. Life is more comfortable now, but many neighbors don't spend much time together any more.

4. Play with words.

(Chơi với chữ)

My radio is very small,

But on it I can listen to all

The programs I want to hear

From countries far and near.

I like my little radio.

It's the way I get to know

About the things that interest me.

And I hear them all for free.
