If you look at the map, you will see that Vietnam has an S shape ,wide at the top and bottom and very narrow at the center. The Land covers its geography, climate, agriculture, fishery, transportation, wildlife, cities and a little history. My only quibble with this book is the lack of maps. The first page gives a locational map of Vietnam's place in Southeast Asia, which is good, but the only other map is a rather small physical map with some place names. Some classrooms have little else than old wooden benches, scratched tables, and fifty determined students.
Children go to school six days a week.
Many must walk a long distance. In crowded schools, the students work in shifts so that all the children in the community can get an education. Then a second group comes to school in the afternoon. Often there is a long break for lunch because the weather gets very hot. People usually take a nap after lunch.
