countries around the world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today,
and the way we lived a century ago.Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of
life in Viet Nam that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in
this sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be employed in
manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally
agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an
important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an
increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept
many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as
they were in the past. This is best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover, the
determination of the people of Viet Nam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and
happily towards the development of their country.
To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always
will be, the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.
