A Lesson on Customs and Traditions

Teacher: Today we’re going to learn about customs and traditions. Do you think they’re the same?

Mi: I think they’re different, but it’s hard to explain how.

Nick: In my opinion, a custom is something that has become an accepted way of doing things. And a tradition is something we do that is special and is passed down through the generations.

Teacher: Yes, spot on! Give me an example of a custom.

Mai: My family has this custom of eating dinner at 7 p.m. sharp.

Teacher: Really?

Mai: Yes, we have to be at the dinner table on time.

Teacher: That’s interesting! How about a tradition, Phong?

Phong: We have a family tradition of visiting the pagoda on the first day of every lunar month.

Nick: You’re kidding!

Phong: No, no. We’ve followed this tradition for generations.

Teacher: You’ve mentioned family, but what about social customs and traditions, Nick?

Nick: Well, in the UK there are lots of customs for table manners. For example, we have to use a knife and fork at dinner. Then, there’s a British tradition of having afternoon tea at 4 p.m.

Teacher: Sounds lovely! Now, for homework, you should find information about a custom or tradition. You’re doing mini presentations next week…
