1. Provide a brief description about London.

How is London similar to or different from the

captital of your own country?
-London is the capital of England. It is know simply as 'the City' which is the
business and financial heart of the United Kingdom. Also, it is the home for the
headquarters of all government departments, the Parliament, and the monarch.
-London and Hanoi is that both cities have a rich history and cultural heritage that
has been shaped by centuries of experience and tradition.
There are also many differences between the two cities. First, London’s population
is a much larger city than Hanoi ‘s population. Additionally, London is a major
financial, economic, and political center, while Hanoi is primarily a cultural and
administrative hub. The two cities also differ in terms of their architecture,
cuisine, climate, transportation, and lifestyle.
2. What are your general impressions of Brirish people based on what you have studied in
British culture?
British people are polite, reserved, and humorous. In addition, they are also
famous for their love of tea, football, and pub culture. Punctuality is highly valued
in British society, and it is considered rude to arrive late without a good reason.
And with social status traditionally being determined by factors such as family
background, education, and wealth.
3. Would you say that people in your country are more or less enthusiastic about university
education than they are in Britain? Explain your answer.
It seems to me that people in Vietnam are less enthusiastic about university education than they are in
Britain. In Britain, compulsory education is up to the age of 16. 2/3 of students choose to attend A-
Levels and go on to college. With Britain’s newfound enthusiasm for continuing education and
because the general level of unemployment is now high, far fewer sixteen-year-olds go straight out
and look for a job than used to. In Vietnam, despite the government’s efforts in promoting education
in recent years, the university education attendance rate is still low, at 28.3% according to a 2019
report. After leaving high school, students often take part in vocational courses or find a job straight
away if they are not admitted to college.

4. Describe the British monarchy and its role in British society?

* The British monarchy is a constitutional monarchy, which means that the monarch's role is mainly
ceremonial and symbolic, with limited formal powers. The current monarch of the United Kingdom
is King Charles III.
* The role of the monarch
-The personal embodiment of the government
-A final check on a government that was becoming dictatorial: Royal assent to bills
-Performing the ceremonial duties so that the government has more time for the actual job of
running the country

5. What are the main political parties in the UK? How does the system differ from that in your
country?
The main political parties in the UK are the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats ,the
Green Party, and Scottish National Party. While the UK has a multi-party system, Vietnam's political
system is tightly controlled by the Communist Party.
6. In Britain, what are the public services that a local government offers the community?
Local government in Britain provides a range of public services to the community, including:
Education, Social Services, Waste Collection and Recycling, Planning and Development Control,
Public Transportation, Libraries and Museums.
7. How do you explain the popularity of the different types of housing in Britain? Are the same
types popular in your country?
The popularity of different types of housing in Britain can be explained by a combination of factors,
including historical housing trends, availability of land, location, and affordability. Both countries
have significant differences for example, in Vietnam, owning a house or villa is
often viewed as a symbol of status and financial success, whereas in the UK, the
preference for detached and semi-detached houses may reflect a desire for a
traditional family home with a garden.
8. Do the different social classes in your country differentiate themselves in the same way as
they do the Britain? Do language, accent, clothes, money, habits and attitudes play the same
roles in yoru country?
The differentiation of social classes in Vietnam may not follow the same patterns as in Britain. In
Vietnam, social classes are often defined by factors such as occupation, education, income, and
family background. Language and accent can play a role in distinguishing social classes, but the
influence may not be as clear as in Britain. Clothes and appearance can indicate social status to some
extent, but the emphasis on specific fashion trends may not be as significant. Money and wealth
certainly contribute to social distinctions. Habits and attitudes can vary among social classes, but the
cultural context and values in Vietnam may shape these differences differently compared to Britain
9. Local government in Britain is responsible for most of the things that affect people in
everyday life. So why do you think few people bother to vote in an local election?

There could be several reasons why few people bother to vote in local elections in
Britain, despite local government being responsible for most of the things that
affect people in everyday life consists of Low visibility and awareness ; Lack of
interest ; Perception of low stakes; Timing and scheduling ; Voter suppression.
