Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they live in. Manners
are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation.
Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect seniority. When
they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they entered a room, they had to
bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do
housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a
mistake, they would not let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were
taught that families were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity.(tai họa, nghịch cảnh)
Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique
Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.

learners even the advanced learners need practice. There is a fact that a learner can know a lot of grammar rules
and have a large vocabulary; however, they can't speak well yet. So the learners must know how to use what
