Teaching our Parents | Nguyen Ha Thuy Duong (Emma) | TEDxISHCMCAmericanAcademy


so hi everyone I’m stuffy as ol and this

is my first year avian so I grew up with

technology I can use technology when I

was 5 or 6 years old but she this is my

mother she grew up with traditional

games and this is her when she is using

her own hands and I was at my

grandmother’s house and she was asking

me to have her to download the missing

to the iPad I touched her carefully step

by step she understood but the next day

she forgot it all actually I must teach

her lots of time after for her to

remember but after all she forgot it

again it’s really hard to teach old

person growing up as a go I always think

that the adult is always right my

parents used to set that to me because

they think so but after last summer for

the first time I realized that even

though I am a granddaughter I have more

knowledge than an adult I can do lots of

things more than most of the adults not

always know how to do my name is Emma

today I’m going to show you that why

should sometimes the adults must listen

through georgians so I first can I ask

everyone that have you ever teaching

your parents or your grandparents

something I have teach my parents and my

grandparents lots of things especially

it’s about technology as you know that

our parents were born in tough time in

Vietnamese war so there are no high

technology like iPad or iPhone or any

web page such as Gmail or Google Drive I

feels like my parents and my

grandparents were born in black and

white to ward

there are many difference between

generations in each family for example

the technology changed time by time or

in your

parents time even hadn’t up here and not

just only technology maybe the education

too

as you can see that now there are lots

of international school but in the past

they are known those kind of school and

at this goal we can learn lots of more

interesting about the world English

technology because of that sometimes the

adults must listen to us this is some

pictures when I teach my parents to use

the iPhone actually I’m next to them

sometimes I also teach my dad or the

forwards the message to it’s easy to

teach our parents but hard to teach our

parents because they are older and it is

difficult but I still teach them how a

little bit of English how to make the

text bigger or open the news on the

Internet

I not just teach them to use the

technology but I also explain the things

that they don’t understand sometimes I

translate the news from English to

Vietnamese from my grandmother what we

need to teach again and again so that

they can remember that proves that don’t

use the adults teach decisions knowledge

but the jigeon’s can teach and spread in

knowledge

besides children’s not know on the other

hand sorry I don’t just teach the adults

to do something but I also protect my

point of loop in front of them when I

think what is right that mean that I

make the adults to think that problem is

right like me for example when my uncle

came home late for our lunar new year

party my dad called him and shot of him

I totally disapprove who made that

emesis and I said to my dad that you

cannot shut him like that

after all he is your older brother and

the important is he is my uncle

how could you shatter him like that it

was wrong and then my dad he is quiet

because he knew he was wrong that is an

example adults never listen did you just

besides students not always need to

listen to the HP adult I remember that

one time in my English test my teacher

is Miss Cameron he is or she is also my

character coach and she is right there

thank you she asked all of the class

that do you think that he adults always

write I answer note and today I’m here

to improve the Manzo’s to prove them

answers right they are adults doesn’t

mean that they always write doesn’t

matter I am a secretive or not I still

have my voice every one little in their

life will make mistakes not accept the

adults but it includes every age from

small to older age I’m sorry to say this

but each of you had mechanistic already

so why did some Vietnamese parents and

the parents in all of the war always set

to decisions that they are always right

I agreed that the middle school is soo

young and we sometimes it’s wrong

something and we don’t understand

something but as an adult you just need

to talk gently to your judges you no

need to shout at them in my opinion but

that way your judges were easy to learn

and they will be happy I know this is

just a swish of a secret is like me but

I can understand a part of it because my

turn sometimes shout at me too and I

feel very bad but when they talk to me

gently I’m feel happy and I feel willing

to improve but please don’t think that

we are always right if you think your

ideas right you might need to keep check

your thinking again before you a deal

with your parents now and nowadays

Vietnam already joined do all kind of me

technology change day by day the

information of that every day so I hope

that Britain returns and the parents in

all of the war can change their mindset

about adults on which rights and

understand Egyptians instead of hit a

shot at them

thank you you
