1.Provide a brief description about London. How is
London similar to or different from the captital of your own country?

Kingdom. Also, it is the home for the headquarters of all
government departments, the Parliament, and the monarch.(nó

cultural heritage that has been shaped by centuries of experience and tradition.
There are also many differences between the two cities. First,
London’s population is a much larger city than Hanoi ‘s
population. Additionally, London is a major financial, economic,

It seems to me that people in Vietnam are less enthusiastic
about university education than they are in Britain. In Britain,
compulsory education is up to the age of 16. 2/3 of students
choose to attend A-Levels and go on to college. With Britain’s
newfound enthusiasm for continuing education and because
the general level of unemployment is now high, far fewer

to. In Vietnam, despite the government’s efforts in promoting
education in recent years, the university education attendance
rate is still low, at 28.3% according to a 2019 report. After
leaving high school, students often take part in vocational
courses or find a job straight away if they are not admitted to college.

7. How do you explain the popularity of the different
types of housing in Britain? Are the same types popular in your country?
The popularity of different types of housing in Britain can be
explained by a combination of factors, including historical
housing trends, availability of land, location, and affordability.
Both countries have significant differences for example, in
Vietnam, owning a house or villa is often viewed as a symbol of
status and financial success, whereas in the UK, the preference
for detached and semi-detached houses may reflect a desire for
a traditional family home with a garden.
8. Do the different social classes in your country
differentiate themselves in the same way as they do the
Britain? Do language, accent, clothes, money, habits and
attitudes play the same roles in yoru country?
The differentiation of social classes in Vietnam may not follow
the same patterns as in Britain. In Vietnam, social classes are
often defined by factors such as occupation, education, income,
and family background. Language and accent can play a role in
distinguishing social classes, but the influence may not be as
clear as in Britain. Clothes and appearance can indicate social
status to some extent, but the emphasis on specific fashion
trends may not be as significant. Money and wealth certainly
contribute to social distinctions. Habits and attitudes can vary
among social classes, but the cultural context and values in
Vietnam may shape these differences differently compared to Britain about:blank 3/4 17:33 7/8/24 Vha - tự luận vha
