| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: Huyen, do Vietnamese people like shopping? |
| Huyen: Yes. Very much. Even while travelling to other countries, Vietnamese tourists love going to shopping centers, malls, or anywhere that sells things. |
| Becky: That’s true. I heard that for many Vietnamese, it’s okay not to visit all the famous tourist spots, but they can’t skip a shopping mall. |
| Huyen: (laughs) That sounds about right. If they can’t buy something to bring home, they will feel bad about their trip. |
| Becky: By the way, what products do Vietnamese people usually buy during a trip? |
| Huyen: Well, electronic goods and household appliances are popular, especially those imported from foreign countries such as America, Japan, Korea and Australia. |
| Becky: I see. Okay, now onto the vocab. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Becky: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Huyen: tặng |
| Becky: which means “to present.” You can use this verb with your friends, or someone younger than you. |
| Huyen: Right. When we give a gift to an older person or a distinguished person, we use the verb biếu instead of tặng. Biếu is more polite. |
| Becky: Huyen, how can we say “to present someone something” in Vietnamese? Is the order the same as in English? |
| Huyen: Yes, it is. First say tặng, the verb meaning “to present.” Then add the person’s name and the object. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using the pattern? |
| Huyen: Sure. If An presents me with a bag of mangoes, I can say.. An tặng tôi một túi xoài. First, we have the subject, An, then the verb tặng. It’s followed by the person who is receiving the item, in this sentence, tôi, “me.” |
| Becky: Then we have the object, “a bag of mangoes.” |
| Huyen: That’s right. So altogether, we have An tặng tôi một túi xoài. |
| Becky: “An presents me with a bag of mangoes.” What about in a formal situation? |
| Huyen: In a formal situation, you can use the verb biếu and say.. An biếu bác Minh một túi xoài. |
| Becky: “An presents Uncle Minh with a bag of mangoes.” Okay, what's the next word? |
| Huyen: hết hạn |
| Becky: which means “to expire.” |
| Huyen: hết hạn is made up of two words, hết, meaning “to end” and hạn, meaning “limit, term.” |
| Becky: You can use this verb after a noun to indicate that a document has come to the end of its validity or a food item is past its expiration date. |
| Huyen: We often use this verb with the adverbs đã or rồi, which both mean “already.” |
| Becky: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
| Becky: In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use the verb meaning “to apply.” |
| Huyen: The word is áp dụng. áp dụng is often used in the passive form to mean “to be applied,” or in past tense or present perfect tense. For example...đã được áp dụng |
| Becky: which means “to be applied.” And you can use it with the simple sentence pattern. |
| Huyen: That’s right. First say the subject, then the verb áp dụng. Then you need to add the prepositions cho or với meaning “to” and “with,” respectively, and a noun for a person or thing. |
| Becky: So, altogether, it will mean “to be applied to someone or something.” |
| Huyen: That’s right. If something was applied to a specific place, just replace the prepositions cho or với with trong or vào meaning “in” and then add a noun indicating field or place. |
| Becky: I see. Before we get into more sentences, it seems we need to learn some words we can use together. What are they? |
| Huyen: First, luật |
| Becky: “law” |
| Huyen: quy định |
| Becky: “regulation” |
| Huyen: thuế |
| Becky: “tax” |
| Huyen: lý thuyết |
| Becky: “theory” |
| Huyen: công nghệ, kỹ thuật |
| Becky: “technology, technique.” |
| Huyen: These are the nouns that usually work with the phrase áp dụng meaning “to apply.” |
| Becky: Okay. Can you give us some examples? |
| Huyen: Sure. Công nghệ này đã được áp dụng vào sản xuất nông nghiệp. |
| Becky: “This technology has been applied in agricultural production.” |
| Huyen: First, we have Công nghệ này, “this technology,” and the verb đã được áp dụng |
| Becky: meaning “to be applied” in the passive form. And the rest is for “in agricultural production”, right? |
| Huyen: That’s right. vào sản xuất nông nghiệp. All together, we have Công nghệ này đã được áp dụng vào sản xuất nông nghiệp. |
| Becky: “This technology has been applied in agricultural production.” |
Outro |
| Becky: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Huyen: Cảm ơn các bạn. |
