Vietnam has changed a lot in the past few years. Many parts of Vietnamese culture are not the
same as before. I think the biggest changes are in the way people dress, talk, and live with their families.
Aspect 1 (Dating customs)
Firstly, dating customs have become more modern. In the past, families
often arranged marriages. Today, young people date freely and use applications
or social media to meet new people. Dating is now more about personal choice than family decisions.
Aspect 2 (Clothing customs)
Secondly, clothing has changed a lot. In the past, people mostly wore
traditional clothes like the Ao dai, especially on special occasions. Now, young
people often wear Western-style clothes like jeans and T-shirts every day. This
shows how global fashion influences Vietnam.
Aspect 3 (Table manners)
Finally, table manners have also become more relaxed. In the past, meals
were very formal, with strict rules about seating and eating. Today, families
often eat together in a more casual way, and people sometimes use forks and
knives instead of chopsticks, especially in big cities. Conclusion:
