English and Vietnamese

I began to study English when I was in junior high I feel that it is very difficult to learn a second language because it is nothing like my mother language Therefore, I have

a good determination to find the similarity and the difference in English and Vietnamese There are many similar and different points between English and Vietnamese like

First of all, pronunciation of English and Vietnamese are different but very similar They have the same alphabet in pronouncing sounds For example, the English sound /b/, /d/, /m/, /n/ is the same sound in Vietnamese However, Vietnamese does not have /f/, /w/, /z/, / θ/ sound in the alphabet So the Vietnamese find it very difficult to pronounce these sounds In addition, English sound enunciates the ending sound while Vietnamese doesn’t pronounce ending sound It explains why Vietnamese speak English without end sound Beside that tune in both English and Vietnamese use intonation in question and admiration sentence In rising intonation, the voice goes up at the end of question sentence In falling intonation, the voice goes down at the end of admiration English language has many differences from intonation in speech compared to Vietnamese Good intonation comes from stressing the right word – this is because English is a time – stressed language It moves the tongue so much when it speaks vowel sound / iy/, /a/, and /uw/ /iy/ pushes tongue forward and up while /a/ puts tongue down and back and /uw/

pulls tongue up and back Vietnamese is considers of syllabic and doesn’t have too much intonation in speech To sum up, English pronunciation and Vietnamese pronunciation have some similar sounds and intonations but different ways of pronounce them Secondly, it is the difference and the similar in grammar of English and Vietnamese Both of them have verb tenses as the past, present, and future tenses They also have the same structure (subject + verb + object) for instance; “Tom goes to school” equal “Tom

di den truong” On the other hand, Vietnamese grammar doesn’t start with auxiliary verbs

on question sentence Irregular verbs are used in English sentence; adversely Vietnamese does away with that kind of verbs Furthermore, the two languages make use of verbs plus prepositions followed by the gerund the same way “I gave up smoking” is depicted similarly as “toi da bo hut thuoc” in Vietnamese One of the differences between these two languages is the way they present plurality In order to show something as plural, most often “s” can be added at the end of a subject Vietnamese does not work that way;

“nhieu” is added in front of a subject to show more than one Thus, English and Vietnamese share some common grammar structures, but mostly they are very different Finally, there are some differences and contrasts in communication syntax between Vietnamese and English One of the differences between English and Vietnamese is that Americans use I and you to denote the first and second person In contrary, Vietnamese first and second character are dependents on people who are involved in the conversation

It is disrespectful to call someone older than yourself “you” or even call them by their names “Uncle” or “aunt” is used to call elder When it comes to close relationship between two persons, Vietnamese and English use the same kind of words “Honey” is used to call a lover in English where as “em yeu” means the same in Vietnamese During daily conversation, Vietnamese and English use simple and short sentences Slangs are heavily use in both languages Consequently, it can be very difficult to distinguish these two languages from one another just by the way they use syntax

In conclusion, languages all over the world have the same basic rule and purpose I think you will find many interesting, differences, and similarities things among each language All languages are related to one another one way or the other English and Vietnamese are similar but they both have many of the same and different points in pronunciation, communication syntax, and grammar

The disadvantage of tourism is many influences to Vietnamese culture and custom The Vietnamese were very simple in the traditional fashion For example; from a long

time ago, women wore “ao dai” or “ao ba ba” It was very be careful in their clothes However, Vietnam opened door with many countries therefore many people came to Vietnam They brought so much new things coming to Vietnam The Vietnamese culture and custom changed too The young person begin wear short with low cut décolleté It has never seen before life They like to outside more than stay at home They begin to try club and bar like foreigners There are many hotels, restaurants and public services I can see many children don’t go to school but they become street vendor for the traveler I saw many people in country side changed their life because they want to copy the tourists’ custom The life style has influenced by the traveler Many vices appear in live such as drug, prostitution, and robber from city to country Thus, it is very difficult controlling disadvantage and keeping culture and custom in public Another disadvantage from tourism is natural landscape Vietnam has many natural landscapes with long coast running follow the length of country Some of them have destroyed by the people Tourism is developing in my country so many foreigners want

to travel Vietnam Some of them want to know about landscape, other want to try food, another want to discover culture That is the reason why many people travel to Vietnam every day It means the hotels and the recreation services are opened in everywhere from mainland to island So many natural beauty places have gone with developing of travel It hadn’t extensive forest with tiger, bear, and rhino because human used land for build house The island isn’t exclusion; it becomes nice place with big buildings, huge hotels, and vast sea ports The ocean water has changed by sweepings from tourist They throw many kind of trash when they play on the beach The environment is also devalued by tours from people all the world This is the worst in all disadvantages of tourism that we

Vietnamese Culture

Vietnamese culture may still be mysterious and unknown to most people outside the country Today, more and more people are going to Vietnam for tourism and trading Getting to know Vietnam and its culture is interesting and fascinating I hope with my writing, you can find one of the fascinating resources to understand Vietnamese culture and beyond Those are pregnancy and birth customs of Vietnam people Normally in Vietnam especially in the countryside regions, three generations live under the same roof Based on Confucianism telnets, when a girl gets marry she has to follow her husband and live in her spouse family It presents some difficulties for the wife when she is pregnant and has baby at the first time The first-born child custom means that the wife can come back to her family to have the first-born baby, and from the second child she stays at her husband’s family Why Vietnamese has first-born baby custom? Because in the past the marriage age is young, (woman from thirteen and man from sixteen can get married), and when a young wife has a baby for the first time, she does not have any experiences during pregnancy Furthermore, she still hesitates to depend on her mother-in-law or her sister-in-law for help and it would be easier to ask for help from her mother and sister Any subsequence baby she already has enough experiences to deal with difficulties by herself so she can stay at her husband’s family Some days before confinement, the parent-in-law or the husband goes to the wife’s family to talk with the wife’s parents to take the wife home After confinement and when the baby is strong enough, the husband prepares some presents to pick his wife up and take her back to his home The grandparent-in-law of the baby is very careful mark a smut on baby’s forehead as a way to drive ghost away from

According to the old custom, after checking the family annals, avoiding the profanation of taboo names (name of a child is same as the name of ancestors); the newborn child is officially given a name In case of the name of the child is similar the name of ancestors, it has to be changed The ceremony to announce the name of the newly child is very simple The needed equipments are incense, betel and a glass of wine Normally this ceremony is organized annual during ancestor death anniversary All children who are born in that year are invited to announce their names during the ceremony The order of each name in family annals is sorted by year There are number

of forms which are used to record the name but all of them contain the following information: name, parent, generations, branch of family, first-born child or not, date of

birth and the date of recording this information.

I’m a Vietnamese

Every person has influenced the features of their cultural identity I’m a Vietnamese

so I have some Vietnams’ features for example gentleness, housekeeper and diligence Vietnam has developed wet rice cultural from a long time so Vietnamese is very gentleness It is impregnated in my spirit day by day I love my family and respect all elderly persons My parents always teach me to be respectful to everyone I’m taught obedient from my childhood days So obedience is a virtue of Vietnamese children I think it is different with other cultures Talking back to your parents is something that will not tolerate in my house Next, Vietnamese women love housekeeping works When

I studied at elementary I knew how to cook rice from my mother She taught me how cook many kinds of food and how to do family chores I not only like to cook but also like to find and experiment new dishes In my country most women handle housekeeping works in addition to their daily job That is the reason why Vietnamese women are

working more than Vietnamese men Therefore I think I have inherited the diligence and gentleness features from them Diligence and gentleness are two features of Vietnamese

We have a famous saying proverb: “diligence over shadows intelligence” From thousands of years Vietnamese has known that diligence is necessary for the successful I know study hard is a feature of diligence I think regardless of where you live, you can be easily identified by your unique characteristics based on your cultural identity My unique cultural identity makes me different from others and I’m proud to be a Vietnamese

My Junior High School

I graduated junior high school thirteen years ago There were many unforgettable memories during my time in junior high school That was a beautiful time in my school years July 19th is the anniversary of our class We always have a party and go out together on that day I loved my 9A1 class I liked soccer very much when I was a student

at Phuoc Thang School We divided into two teams and played soccer game after class

We didn’t care much about gender difference; anyone can join in regardless of their gender My Math teacher was forced to be an arbiter although he wanted to play instead Often I sat on bench ready to play when my name is called because I was small However

I had a special job that was to keep score for every game I often lost my voice after a game because I was shouting too much Every game was last for one hour including

fifteen minutes rest time After each game my friends and teacher would go to monitor’s house and ate noodles except for me I had to come back home on time Sometimes I came home late with dirty clothes or injury on my body I didn’t tell my mom because she didn’t allow me to play soccer She wanted me to go back home on time and didn’t want me to hang out with my friends after class That was my secret in my young time All members in our class have grown up but we always keep in touch by email or phone

I still miss our memories and friendship in junior high school

This Is My Intelligence

When I was young my father told me many fairytale stories It is my most favorite fairytale story The story begins like this A tiger comes from the forest It sees a peasant and a buffalo that plough on the field The buffalo tries step by step; from time to time it

is hit one rattan in the buttock Tiger is very surprise In the afternoon, opens the plough, tiger comes near buffalo and asks, “hey, you look strong Why do you let the people beating you so much?” The buffalo spoke in a low voice whisper in tiger’s ear, “the people are small but they have intelligence” The tiger doesn’t understand and curious asks again, “what is the intelligence? How does it look like?” The buffalo didn’t know how to explain and answers, “intelligence is intelligence What do you think it is? If you want to know ask the human.” The tiger went to peasant and asks, “where is your intelligence? Can I see it?” The peasant thought for a moment and said, “my intelligence stays at home I come back and give you If you need I will give you a little bit” The tiger heard that and it was very happy The peasant had just gone and remembered something and said, “but what if you eat my buffalo after I leave” The tiger was still wondering, the peasant continued, “let me tie you to this tree while I’m away?” The tiger agreed and the peasant went ahead and tied the tiger to the tree He then stacked hays around the tiger, started the fire and shout, “this is my intelligence This is my intelligence” The buffalo was laughing so hard, he fell and hit his teeth against the rock and broke his front teeth The rope finally broke; the tiger run straight into the forest and never looked back From there on, all tigers have little black dots and all buffalos don’t have any teeth on their upper row
