Unlike life in countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is
modern and complicated. People from different regions move to cities in the hope of having a better life for

exercise in public parks, preparing for a full day of working and studying, then immersing in crowded
boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home after a busy day. They usually

VIII. Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions
Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live. Obviously, it is
difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of the people living in the twenty-first century
because so many changes have occurred. Even the changes that have occurred over the last ten years are
amazing.
To start with, in the past people had to work harder as they did not have tools and machines to make
their work easier. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and other powerful
machines. In the past living conditions were not as comfortable as they are now. Besides, many people could
not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum cleaner because those used to be luxurious goods.
Another difference between living now and in the past is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to
everyone. In the past men were mainly the only ones educated and women were not allowed into public or
private schools. Besides, nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information
you need – thanks to the Internet. We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the world
because we are connected 24/7. All things considered, it is an obvious conclusion that life has changed
significantly during the course of history. In some ways, it is definitely easier to live in the present. The
standard of living has definitely improved but it can be discussed whether the quality of our lives is also
better.

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world. Substantial
differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a century ago. Vietnam is no
exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past mainly
worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in this sector of the

enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity. However, along with the
differences, similarities also exist. The people of Vietnam have retained many of the characteristics of their
forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in the past. This is best exemplified in
the way they welcome foreigners to their unique country. Moreover, the resilience and determination of the
people of Vietnam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the
development of their country.
