8’ Post-reading
Discussion: the meanings of whistling & hand-claping in VNese
- have Ss work in groups & discuss that
- encourage Ss to think of as many ideas as possible that they think is suitable for the two ways of socializing
- call on some pairs to give their ideas in front of the class - comment & give suggested answers:
In VNese culture, whistling is done when a person feels happy, when he wants to attract other people’s attention in an
informal way.Sometimes a person may whistle along with a song so that he/she can feel relaxed.
(24)is that when we want to encourage s.o, we clap our hands & the other is when we want to despise s.o However, the
difference in the way we clap – fast or slow – together with other expressions like facial expression or sound will make it easier to imply the meaning of the hand-clapping.
