TV in Viet Nam
Thirty years ago in Viet Nam, very few
people had TV sets. These TV owners were
very popular. After dinner, their neighbors
gathered both inside and outside their
houses. Some watched through the
windows.
All evening, they sat and watched the
black and white programs. The older
people might sleep a little and the children
might play with their friends, but no one
went home until the programs finished.
Times have changed. Today, many
families have a TV set. People sit in their
own living rooms and watch TV. Life is
more comfortable now, but many
neighbors don’t spend much time together
any more.
