Unlikelifeinthecountrysidewhichisoftenconsideredtobesimpleandtraditional,lifeinthecity is modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in the secretaries of having a better life for them and their children. The inhabitants in city work as secretaries, businessmen,teachers,governmentworkers,factoryworkersand evenstreetvendorsorconstruction workers.

Thehighcostoflivingrequirescitydwellers,especiallysomeonewithlowincome,toworkharder ortotake a part-time job. For many people, anordinary day starts as usual by setting up in the early morning to do exercise in public parks. Preparing for a full day of working and studying, then travelling along crowed boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or high-rise apartment blocks or even in a small rental room equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet, telephone, television and so on. Industrialization and modernization as well as global integration have big impact on lifestyle in the cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothes. The “ao dai” - Vietnamese traditional clothes are no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women’s daily life. Instead, jeans, Tshirtsandfashionableclothesarewidelypreferred.

If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreignlanguageatschool.Afewpeopletrytolearnthelanguagefastbystudyingfor6ormorehours aday.Itisclearlyeasiertolearnthelanguageinthecountrywhereitisspoken.However,mostpeople cannotafford this,andformanyitisnotnecessary.Theyneedthelanguageinorder todotheirwork better.

When many people thinkofwomen in Asian culture, they thinkof a male dominated society where women don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino are different. Filipino women have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in SoutheastAsia.

For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handing the money,actingasreligiousmentorsandevenarrangingmarriagesfortheirsonsanddaughters.Thisis asharpcontrasttowomenbeingsubjugatedtotheirhusbands.

THEVANISHINGINVENTION

In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap andfoundallaroundthe planet.

Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There isnoexplanationforthedisappearanceanywhereontheInternet,apartfromalistofsimilarinventions whichhavealsovanished.AninventorfromthePhilippinescalledDanielDingeldevelopedawaterfuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet fromtheimpendingenvironmentalcatastrophes.

EducationSystemofVietnaminthepast

Because of 1,000 years underthe control ofChina, there were no records which indicated a formal educationsysteminVietnam.In939,EmperorNgoQuyenexpelledtheChineseinvadersanddeclared Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long, and were busywiththenational defense,so theeducationwas just inpagodas.LyCongUan,the founderking oftheLydynastyhadbeeneducatedinapagoda.

To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Tong establishedthe Temple of Literature atthe ancientCapital of Thang Longto encourage people to appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’shistory,wassetupfortheeducationof sonsofroyaltyandotherhigh-rankingofficials.

There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students would only study literatureandancienthistoryofChina,andVietnamforentiretyoftheirschooling.Lateron,thePublic Administrationcurriculumwasfinallyaddedtotheprogramme.WhentheHoRoyalfamilyruledthe country,studentsweretaughtsimplemathematics.

From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme adopted the western education system with three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese national languageisofficiallyused.Studentshavetheopportunitytolearnliterature,history,philosophy,law, science,math,medicineandotherlanguages.
