Write a short paragraph about quan ho singing
Gợi ý: Quan họ is one of the typical folk songs of the Red River delta in the North of Vietnam. It was formed and developed in the Kinh Bac ancient culture area, especially the area boundary between Bac Giang province and Bac Ninh province today. Kinh Bac is an old province consisting of both Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces (and parts of Lang Son, Hung Yen, Hanoi today). Quan họ was also formed in this Kinh Bac culture. Due to geographic splits, they are also named locally as Kinh Bac, Bac Giang or Bac Ninh.
Dịch: Quan họ là một trong những làn điệu dân ca tiêu biểu của vùng châu thổ sông Hồng, Bắc Bộ. Nó được hình thành và phát triển trên vùng văn hóa Kinh Bắc xưa, đặc biệt là vùng ranh giới giữa tỉnh Bắc Giang và tỉnh Bắc Ninh ngày nay. Kinh Bắc là một tỉnh xưa bao gồm hai tỉnh Bắc Ninh và Bắc Giang (và một phần Lạng Sơn, Hưng Yên, Hà Nội ngày nay). Quan họ cũng được hình thành trong nền văn hóa Kinh Bắc này. Do sự chia cắt về địa lý, họ còn được đặt tên theo địa phương là Kinh Bắc, Bắc Giang hoặc Bắc Ninh.

Growing up in the early 2000s, a period when technology began to enter our lives, I remembered my childhood in two distinct parts. In elementary school, my friends and I spent our free time after school playing outside. We would go to different street vendors to eat junk food and buy cheap toys. Sometimes, we would watch cartoons together. But there were few channels back then; we didn’t spend too much time in front of the TV. Everything gradually changed when I started secondary school. Internet had become more popular so I began spending more time at Internet cafe. I would play games online and chat with my friends. Cable channel was also on the rise at the time. There were channels airing cartoons all day, every day. Watching TV became a routine for many kids my age. At the time, I didn’t give much thought about the changes. Now, I realize that I miss those old days hanging out with my friends, eating junk food and sharing toys.
