A Andrea - There are six of us in our family, my parents, me, the twins and my older brother, Ted Ted is a
good ten years older than me and the twins - they are girls - are two years younger than me We had a good childhood out in the countryside My parents were always busy with the farm and so we didn't get the help with school work and things like that that children get today But my parents were very loving, especially my father
I regret not helping more around the farm because now I realize that it must have been very hard for my parents, especially as my grandparents lived so far away
Trang 6Bob - Both my parents were in the theatre and they had made quite a name for themselves on the stage As a
child I remember our house being constantly full of famous people, laughing and talking My sisters and me would be brought down by our nanny to kiss parents goodnight and then we would be packed off to the nursery That's as much as we ever really saw of them at that time It's better now, but it has left a mark on all of us - we ring each other now and again, but that's about all I think my father understands this, but I am not sure my mother does
Camillia - I left home when I was sixteen to live with my grandparents in Sydney My parents had a farm in
the outback and I needed to go to college It was quite difficult for me to leave my younger brothers and sisters behind as we were quite a tight-knit group, even though the age gap was fairly wide - as you can imagine there was no one else to play with out in the middle of nowhere!
When I got fed up I'd give them a ring, and my dad would always put me right - a tower of strength he was My grandparents were great too - helped me with my homework, took me on trips, things like that I'll never forget that
David - I am always telling my kids - your family is always there for you, whatever happens You might think
we don't understand you and all that rubbish, but no one else will look after you the way the family will Family
is important to me When I was young, I didn't have much of family life Our kids were quite close in ages so that helped enormously, but we didn't see much of our parents In fact, we saw more of granny and grandpa, but they were a bit strict We all got on and we knew that our parents cared for us But there wasn't much in the way
of trips, treats, things that nowadays people take for granted

In 1986 Vietnam launched a political and economic innovation campaign (Doi Moi) that introduced reforms intended to facilitate the transition from a centralized economy to a "socialist-oriented market economy." Doi Moi combined government planning with free-market incentives The program abolished agricultural collectives, removed price controls on agricultural goods, and enabled farmers to sell their goods in the marketplace It encouraged the establishment of private businesses and foreign investment, including foreign-owned enterprises
By the late 1990s, more than 30,000 private businesses had been created, and the economy was growing
at an annual rate of more than 7 percent From the early 1990s to 2005, poverty declined from about 50 percent
to 29 percent of the population However, progress varied geographically, with most prosperity concentrated in urban areas, particularly in and around Ho Chi Minh City In general, rural areas also made progress, as rural households living in poverty declined from 66 percent of the total in 1993 to 36 percent in 2002 By contrast,
Trang 24concentrations of poverty remained in certain rural areas, particularly the northwest, north-central coast, and central highlands
