Part 1: GIVING GIFTS

When do people give gifts or presents in your country?


In Vietnam, gift-giving is a significant cultural practice, often symbolizing
relationships and gratitude. Key occasions for gift-giving include Tet (Lunar New
Year), birthdays, weddings, and holidays like Teacher's Day and Women's Day.
Gifts are also exchanged during business interactions to foster goodwill.
Additionally, the younger generation increasingly gives presents to express affection
or appreciation on ordinary days, showcasing the evolving nature of gift-giving in
modern Vietnam.
Do you ever take a gift when you visit someone in their home?
[ Why/Why not? ]
However, I can understand the meaning of gift-giving as a social custom. People
often bring small gifts as a gesture of politeness, appreciation, or to show they've put
thought into the visit. For example, a bottle of wine, a bouquet, or a homemade treat
can be thoughtful gifts to bring to a host's home.
When did you last receive a gift? [ What was it? ]
The most memorable birthday gift I received was a handmade card from my best
friend. It was a large, beautifully crafted card filled with our shared memories and
her stunning artwork. The thoughtfulness and effort she poured into creating this
unique gift made it truly special. It's a cherished keepsake that reminds me of our
enduring friendship.
Do you enjoy looking for gifts for people? [ Why/Why not? ]
I love surprising my family and friends with thoughtful gifts. There's a special joy in
selecting something that perfectly suits their tastes. It's more rewarding to give than
to receive, and seeing their happy reactions makes it all worthwhile.
Part 3: MUSIC
Why do you think that some local singers or musicians aren’t as
successful as some from other countries?
The music industry is a competitive landscape, and achieving international success
can be challenging for local artists. Factors such as language barriers, differences in
cultural tastes, and limited access to global platforms can hinder their progress.
Additionally, well-established music industries in certain countries often provide
artists with greater resources and opportunities for exposure
Music tastes vary widely between cultures. What is popular in one country might
not resonate with audiences in another. For example, traditional folk music from
a specific region might have limited appeal to a global audience.
Do you think the Internet has affected the music industry? In what
ways?
The internet dramatically reshaped the music industry. Digital platforms
transformed music consumption, allowing fans to access vast libraries instantly.
Artists gained direct connections with audiences, bypassing traditional gatekeepers.
However, challenges like piracy and revenue sharing emerged, forcing industry
adaptation.
Do you think there will be further changes in the music industry in the
future?
The music industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation driven by
technological advancements. AI, virtual reality, and other innovations are
reshaping how music is created, consumed, and distributed. We can anticipate the
emergence of new musical genres, immersive listening experiences, and alternative
distribution models. As technology continues to evolve, the industry will place an
even greater emphasis on understanding and catering to individual consumer
preferences through personalized recommendations and interactive features.
Do you think the music young people listen to in your country is
becoming more globalized? Why/Why not?
Yes, music tastes among young people are increasingly globalized. The internet has
broken down geographical barriers, exposing them to a vast array of music from
different cultures. Platforms like YouTube and Spotify make it easy to discover and
enjoy music from around the world. This has led to a more diverse and inclusive
music scene, blurring the lines between local and international artists.
