Hobbies are activities that people enjoy doing in their free time for fun, relaxation, and personal satisfaction. Unlike work or study, hobbies are not done for money but for pleasure and self-improvement. They play an important role in helping people relieve stress, maintain a positive mood, and live a more balanced life amidst the bustling urban environment of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). There are many types of hobbies that suit different personalities and interests in this vibrant metropolis. For example, people who enjoy quiet activities often like reading books, practicing calligraphy, or painting traditional Vietnamese motifs, as these hobbies allow them to think deeply and express their creativity while escaping the city's noise. Others prefer more active hobbies such as cycling along the Saigon River, playing badminton in local parks, or participating in martial arts like Vovinam, because these activities keep them healthy and energetic in a city known for its fast-paced lifestyle. Some people also enjoy collecting things like vintage postcards of HCMC, traditional ao dai fabrics, or even modern items such as K-pop merchandise, as this helps them learn about local history and global pop culture. In today’s digital age, online hobbies such as playing video games in e-sports cafes, editing travel vlogs, or streaming karaoke sessions on social media are also very popular among young people in HCMC. Having a hobby is not only a way to spend free time meaningfully but also a great opportunity to develop new skills, meet new friends, and discover more about oneself. Overall, hobbies bring joy and balance to our lives, making us happier and more fulfilled individuals in the dynamic heart of Vietnam.

A neighborhood is an area where people live and interact with one another, it tends to have its own identity. A neighborhood is not only a simple space for people to live in, it is also a safe environment for them to ease their minds. For instance, I live in Binh Phu Ward, a neighborhood that has a very strong sense of community because it holds special events every two months. Moreover, the calm atmosphere around my streets is ideal for evening walks.  People often go out for a jog or gather around in the nearby park. My neighborhood is also home to a historical site. Many years ago, the government built a memorial plaque to honor the sacrifice of soldiers. The downside, though, is the darkness of our streets at night. Even though it is a good thing that our Ward cut down pedestrian lights to save electricity at night, i believe leaving some lights on for commuters is possible. Despite those drawbacks, my neighborhood still remains a pleasant place to live. That is why a neighborhood plays an important role in one's life.

There are two major cities in Vietnam, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Both metropolises are the main contributors to the country’s growing economy and vibrant culture. Located in the north, Ha Noi is the capital of the country and the stronghold of politics and administrations, with the government headquarters residing here. It is also home to many historical sites throughout the ages of Vietnam, such as the prestigious Temple of Literature, the One Pillar Pagoda, and Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum. It boasts a rich tapestry of culture and history through the vintage architecture of its landmarks, traditional art and homely cuisine –there is heritage in every aspect of the city. Despite being a large city, the pace of life is rather slow. It is shown through the people’s everyday routines, like leisurely strolling down the streets or chatting over tea and coffee. The calmness and tranquility reflect the city’s timeless beauty. Beyond being a political centre, Ha Noi stands as a symbol of Viet Nam’s past and its enduring cultural identity.

​

Ho Chi Minh City, located in the South, is the economic powerhouse of the nation. In contrast to Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh city is energetic, vibrant, and modern, marked by non-stop urbanization and industrialization. The city attracts many international collaborations, with its strength lying in business and trade. With it comes globalization; the city, especially the youth, has adopted many foreign customs. The influence is most apparent in many diverse cuisines –such as Korean BBQ, Japanese eateries, and European-styled restaurants – as well as social hubs like shopping malls and nightclubs. Even the use of borrowing words from other countries, such as “trend”; “chill”, shows the city’s welcomeness to other cultures. Life in Ho Chi Minh city is unsurprisingly hectic; the traffic is always bustling, crowded with people trying to keep up with daily life and work. The constant movement shows the city’s lively spirit and drive for success.

​

All in all, despite differing lifestyles and aesthetics, Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh city are both vital to Viet Nam. Together, they capture the balance between heritage and modernity that defines the country today.

Personal information is defined as "any data that can be used to identify a living individual" . So for example, my personal information are: My name, my birth date, where i live, my social security number and how many girlfriends i had. Those information can be used to identify me, and are related to myself, hence they are deemed as "my personal information".

There are many different types of personal information, but i will talk about the 2 most important type, which are "public" and "private". Public personal information are things you can safely share with the public, like: first names, hobbies, favorite foods, favorite movies... Things that you would be comfortable with people knowing. Private personal information on the other hand, should NEVER be shared with people you don't trust (the public), things like: Your full name, your home address, your password or pins... Information that are sensitive or private about your life like these should not be shared to the public. Personal information if not protected properly will result in: you being scammed, getting blackmailed, your privacy being taken... so on and so forth. So, how can you protect your personal information without excluding yourself from the world around you? Just be mindful of your personal information, share information responsibly, don't give out private information to untrusted individuals, be aware of what you do, say and post. Protect your private information both online and offline, don't click on links that are shady, don't trust people blindly and don't share more than what needs to be know.

All in all, personal information is a core part of peoples life, everyone should be mindful when sharing it with others to keep themselves safe.

Food is an indispensable part of Vietnamese culture, representing not only daily nourishment but also the country’s identity, traditions, and regional diversity. Vietnamese cuisine is renowned for its harmonious combination of flavors, textures, and colors. It emphasizes the balance between salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter tastes, which reflects the Vietnamese philosophy of harmony in life. Moreover, freshness is highly valued, as most dishes include a wide variety of herbs and vegetables that enhance both the flavor and nutritional value of the meal.

Each region of Vietnam has developed its own distinctive culinary style shaped by geography, climate, and local ingredients. In the North, food tends to be light and balanced, with famous dishes such as phở and bún chả. The Central region, influenced by the royal cuisine of Huế, is well-known for its rich and spicy dishes like mì Quảng and bún bò Huế. Meanwhile, Southern cuisine often features sweeter flavors and vibrant ingredients, seen in popular dishes such as hủ tiếu, cơm tấm, and gỏi cuốn.

Beyond its regional variations, Vietnamese food also carries cultural and social significance. Meals are moments of connection, where family members gather to share stories and strengthen relationships. Food is also deeply tied to festivals and religious ceremonies, symbolizing gratitude and prosperity. Overall, Vietnamese cuisine is not merely about taste but a reflection of the people’s history, values, and way of life.

In some areas of the world, job seekers get rejected because of their age, which is illegal for companies. Although this policy gives everyone equal opportunities, I think this is a negative change.

Firstly, this may allow some employers to exploit young workers who don’t have much experience and make jobs less for older experienced workers. For instance, some companies hire young employees instead of older experienced workers to pay less and exploit them by forcing them to work longer. Therefore, the younger labor force is harmed mentally, physically whereas the older one becomes unemployed.

Secondly, bias may still exist during interviews. With older workers, some employers can have higher expectations on their skills while they have much lower expectations for younger workers. As a result, older workers receive a lower position they have to work harder to promote. Another concern is certain jobs have physical requirements that may not align all applicants' capabilities. Especially older workers, they can’t do manual jobs which require high physical endurance. In addition, sitting long hours in the office chair may affect young people’s health earlier and their potential development. Consequently, this will make the young labor age faster than the previous generation.

In conclusion, while prohibiting age discrimination in hiring fosters fairness and equal opportunity, its effectiveness is limited by bias during interviews, mismatch with job demands and exploitation of young workers.

Out of all the cities I have known, Ho Chi Minh City will always have a place in my heart. Even though Ho Chi Minh City is a part of a developing country, Vietnam, People are still fascinated by the high technology and traditions. Especially with the latest Landmark 81. Along with that, Ho Chi Minh City is also known for its hustle and bustle, with the new order to merge provinces, it becomes more stimulating. Either by day or night, busy street vendors and the locals have enlighten Ho Chi Minh City. Not only is Ho Chi Minh city lively, Ha Noi’s is as well. Ha Noi City, or capital, is also thriving like Ho Chi Minh's. However, it leans more towards being a hot spot for political gatherings and history researching. Still, The way urbanization blended in with the historical sites never fails to make everyone surprised. All in all, Vietnamese cities aim to raise the citizens’ living standards and improve to be more modern.

Food is one of the basic necessities in life. It plays a crucial part in maintaining one’s health and defining one’s culture. First of all, food contains many nutrients, essential for humans’ growth and repair. Any creatures in the world can not go a day without eating food or drinking water, it is in our natural instinct to survive. Another thing is that food differentiate each country’s culture because they create and serve their dishes in many ways. Take Vietnamese cuisine as an instance, Pho is named as one of the best broth noodles in the world, the dish represents the distinctive taste of Vietnamese culinary. That is why a lot of people say food makes them feel a sense of home. All in all, food plays a crucial part in supporting life.

I believe every human has their own mindset and specialties. Having a hobby plays an important role to show one's true self. Personally, my artistic traits stand out the most, as my favourite hobbies are drawing and singing. When I was a child, I envied those with talented art skills. Hence, I would practice drawing pictures in my free time, and it has become a part of me ever since. In addition to drawing, another thing I love to do is singing, a hobby both my dad and i share. Singing helps me clear my mind, and it also forms a bond with my dad. That is why having a hobby is a great thing. Not only can one do what they love, but they can also get through tough times.

Getting a job means earning a living independently. We will come to an age when we have to manage our lives and pay our bills. Hence, it is believed that working in one’s dream job will help increase productivity and salary. For that reason, I chose to be a translator. I have always dreamed of being either an artist or a translator. In my opinion, becoming an artist is quite risky, as there are likely no demands for it in my country. On the other hand, I can see many opportunities as a translator. First of all, it is a stable and flexible job at the same time; if anything goes wrong, I could settle for being an assistant instead. Secondly, it will give me chances to think outside the box and meet new acquaintances. Therefore, being a translator is right in my zone.

You know, when I think about neighborhoods, it's not just about the houses lined up on the street or the corner store where everyone grabs their morning coffee. It's this living, breathing thing that ties people together in ways you don't always notice until it's gone. I've lived in a few different ones over the years—from a quiet suburban block where kids played kickball in the street to a bustling city corner with all sorts of cultures mixing in. And each one has taught me that a neighborhood is really about the people and the little connections that make life feel a bit more human.

Back in the day, neighborhoods were like small villages, right? Think of those old walled towns in Europe, where everyone knew each other and shared what they had. Fast-forward to places like the suburbs in America after World War II, where families built lives around schools and parks. Now, with the world so connected, neighborhoods can be these amazing blends—like the vibrant pockets in big cities where you get the best tacos from the Mexican spot next door to the Indian restaurant across the way. It's cool how they keep traditions alive, but also how they change with new folks moving in.

Why does it matter so much? Well, a good neighborhood isn't just convenient; it's good for your soul. I've seen how neighbors look out for each other—borrowing a cup of sugar or helping with a flat tire. Research backs it up too; places with strong community ties have happier people, less stress, and even healthier kids. Economically, it keeps things going—local shops thrive because people support them, and homes hold their value when everyone's invested.

But it's not all rosy. Gentrification can push out the old-timers, and climate stuff like flooding hits some areas hard, making you wonder how long they'll last. I've worried about that in my own neighborhood, watching as things change.

At the end of the day, though, a neighborhood's magic comes from us. If we chat with our neighbors, join in on community events, or just wave hello, it turns a bunch of buildings into a real home. In this crazy world, that's something worth holding onto. What about you—got a favorite memory from your neighborhood?

Pho, Vietnam's iconic noodle soup, is a dish steeped in history and culture, offering insights into the nation's resilience and daily rhythms. Emerging in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam, it blends Chinese noodle traditions with French-influenced beef broths, as noted by culinary expert Andrea Nguyen. Typically, pho features a clear, aromatic broth from slow-simmered beef or chicken bones, rice noodles, thinly sliced meat, and fresh herbs like basil and lime—customizable with chili or hoisin sauce.

Culturally, pho transcends mere sustenance. In Vietnam, it's a communal staple: laborers fuel up at dawn, families bond over bowls, and street vendors keep it affordable and accessible. Anthropologist Sidney Mintz highlights how such foods mirror societal values, with pho symbolizing unity through hardships like war. Its global spread, especially in diaspora communities, has popularized it, though debates persist over authenticity versus adaptations.

However, modernization poses threats. Mass production and environmental pollution dilute traditional methods, while urbanization strains herb supplies.

Ultimately, pho embodies Vietnam's adaptive spirit. Each bowl tells a story of place and people—simple yet profound. In a world of fast food, savoring pho reminds us of food's power to connect. Have you experienced it? It's worth the journey.

Hello, my name is Thy, Nhan Ái Thy. I am currently a freshman at Sai Gon University. I was born and raised in one of the most prominent cities in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City. My birthday is August 16th, 2007. I live in a suburban area in Phu Dinh ward, formerly known as district 8, with my family. I'm half Chinese since my grandparents were of Chinese descent. There are six members in my household: my parents, my three older siblings, and me, as well as a dog, so we're a rather large family. Being the youngest, I'm always grateful for the knowledge they prepared for me as I face big changes in my life, and right now, it is becoming an adult and taking control of my life. I major in Linguistics, since I've always had a knack for languages, and I hope to have a career in this field. I'm still unsure which path I'll take, but I'm excited to explore, nonetheless. Despite wanting a career where I'll have to talk a lot, I'm a very shy person; I'm quite reserved and keep to myself a lot, but I'm willing to challenge myself. For now, I'm quite hopeful about the future, and I hope to gather more experiences and learn valuable skills as I continue my academic journey.

Food is very important to humans. Besides the obvious survival reasons, food is also a means of communication in many cultures. Like in many Asian countries, one of the ways you could greet someone is by asking them whether they’ve eaten anything yet. It is a love language, humans show their feelings and passion through food, it is what makes even the simplest dish valuable, it is not the extravagant presentation or the high cost, but the memories and emotions they feel when consuming a dish that they love, that resonates with them. There are so many reasons why a dish would be important to an individual; it could bring them happy memories of their childhood, it could taste like their mother's cooking, or perhaps, it was a meal that got them through the toughest of days. For me, my favourite dish would be egg drop soup, a simple soup with egg and vegetables. It was the meal I had whenever I was sick as a kid; I love the warmth that it gave me. But it wasn't just any ordinary take-out from a vendor or restaurant; it was my mother's. She made the soup from scratch at home for me because she knew how much I love it. These memories are what make the egg drop soup so special to me.

Hobbies are leisure activities that one could pursue in their spare time. It offers people some needed quiet time after a day of hard work; it is their safe space, away from the rat race. For me, it would be drawing. I’ve been doing art as a hobbyist ever since the beginning of secondary school. As a kid, I drew a lot. I would draw on random pieces of paper, on old, discarded books, and even on the walls, which my parents were not happy about. When I was 12, I decided to pursue it as an actual hobby after seeing many great artists on the internet show off their crafts. Their talents and skills inspired me. I got my first sketchbooks that year and started my journey as an artist. 6 years later, one sketchbook has now turned into 10 sketchbooks, with a pile of unorganized paper on the side, and there have been a lot of trials and tribulations, and my style has gone through a lot of changes. But I’m happy with where I am in my craft, I’m proud of the skills I’ve honed and continue to hone. Art has brought me a lot of emotions and memories, and it is connected with a lot of important periods of my life, and it changes with me as I grow up. In addition, I also own a ukulele that I would often play and sing with whenever I need a pick-me-up after a draining week. Hobbies usually require a lot of commitment and dedication, but being able to see how far you’ve come and reflect on what you’ve learnt is always rewarding.

Being a university student means I am one step closer to becoming an adult with new responsibilities, and one of them is starting a career to have a stable income and support myself and my family. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been watching a lot of animated media, whether it is Disney, Cartoon Network, or just artists on the Internet showing off their projects. I was intrigued by the medium. As I grew older and started pursuing art as a hobby, I entertained the idea of making it into my career, being able to earn a living from designing and creating characters, scenery, and building up an entire world with complex stories and lore. It sounds like a dream. But I decided to use my language skills, which I’ve also picked up from my consumption of Western media, instead, as I fear making my interest into a regular 9-to-5 would distinguish my initial passion for it. Furthermore, with a Linguistics degree, I have a larger career pool and a greater chance of employment. Although nothing is for certain, I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn and expand my knowledge, as well as meeting and making new connections.

A neighborhood is where a community of people live, work, and interact with each other. It is a place of connection and unity. I live in Phu Dinh Ward, a small and quiet neighborhood. When my family first moved here, the community was relatively small, and there were many vacant lots. Over the years, more people have come and settled down, new houses have been built, and the population has steadily grown. With the government’s improvement plans, our infrastructure has also become better. For instance, the bridge leading to our home was expanded, and traffic lights have been installed to regulate traffic more smoothly. As the neighborhood has grown, so has the sense of community. My family has made some connections; my father has the most. He would meet up with them for coffee and even attend some of their parties and celebrations. No matter how much it changes, I always feel a deep sense of belonging; this place holds countless memories and remains my safe space away from the busy city.

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), often called Saigon, is Vietnam's bustling economic powerhouse and cultural heart, home to over 9 million people. As the country's largest metropolis, it embodies a dynamic blend of colonial history, vibrant traditions, and rapid urbanization, making it a fascinating study in resilience and change.

Historically, HCMC's roots trace back to the 17th century as a small Khmer settlement. It flourished under French colonization in the 19th century, becoming the capital of Cochinchina and a hub for trade and architecture, evident in landmarks like the Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office. The city's name changed in 1975 after the Vietnam War, honoring Ho Chi Minh, the revolutionary leader. Geographically, it sits on the Saigon River in southern Vietnam, enjoying a tropical climate that supports lush greenery but also brings heavy rains and humidity.

Culturally, HCMC pulses with life. Daily routines revolve around bustling markets like Ben Thanh, where vendors hawk fresh produce and souvenirs. The city's cuisine, a fusion of Vietnamese, French, and Chinese flavors, is legendary—think steaming pho bowls or crispy banh mi sandwiches. Festivals, such as Tet (Lunar New Year), fill the streets with lanterns and fireworks, while sites like the Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum offer glimpses into Vietnam's past. Despite modernization, traditional values like family and community endure.

In conclusion, Ho Chi Minh City is more than a city—it's a living testament to Vietnam's journey from war-torn past to thriving future. Its ability to preserve heritage while embracing progress makes it an inspiring model for urban development worldwide.

A hobby is a recreational activity or interest that someone pursues regularly during their leisure time, primarily for enjoyment and personal fulfillment rather than financial gain. Unlike work or obligatory tasks, hobbies are chosen freely and reflect an individual's passions, curiosities, or desire for self-expression. They serve as essential outlets that provide balance to daily life, offering opportunities to relax, learn new skills, and explore creativity outside the pressures of academic or professional responsibilities. Gaming, particularly competitive titles like Counter-Strike 2, exemplifies how a hobby can be both deeply engaging and rewarding. What starts as casual entertainment can evolve into a serious pursuit that demands dedication, strategic thinking, and continuous improvement. In Counter-Strike 2, players invest hours mastering mechanics, studying maps, refining their aim, and developing teamwork skills—all driven by genuine passion rather than obligation. This hobby teaches valuable lessons about perseverance, resilience in facing defeats, and the satisfaction of measurable progress. What defines something as a hobby is the personal investment and genuine interest behind it; it's something you return to not because you must, but because it brings satisfaction, challenge, or joy. Whether playing casually with friends or competing at a semi-professional level, hobbies like Counter-Strike 2 enrich life by providing purpose, community, and a sense of accomplishment beyond the routines of everyday obligations.

A job is more than just a means of earning money—it's a fundamental aspect of adult life that shapes identity, provides structure, and contributes to society. Unlike hobbies pursued for personal enjoyment, jobs involve regular work performed in exchange for compensation, whether it's a salary, wages, or other benefits. They serve multiple purposes in our lives: financially, they provide the resources needed for survival and quality of life; socially, they connect us with colleagues and professional networks; and personally, they can offer a sense of purpose, achievement, and contribution to something larger than ourselves. Jobs span an incredible spectrum, from traditional careers in medicine, education, and engineering, to modern roles in technology, digital marketing, and content creation, to skilled trades like carpentry and plumbing that keep society functioning. The relationship people have with their jobs varies widely—some find deep fulfillment and passion in their work, while others view it primarily as a practical necessity. Ideally, a job aligns with one's skills, interests, and values, creating a sustainable career path that supports both personal and professional growth. In today's evolving economy, the nature of jobs continues to transform, with remote work, freelancing, and entrepreneurship offering alternatives to traditional employment models. Regardless of the specific role, jobs remain central to how people structure their time, build their futures, and define their place in the world.

A neighborhood is more than just a collection of streets and buildings—it's a living community that shapes daily life and creates a sense of belonging. Defined by geographic boundaries within a larger city or town, neighborhoods develop their own distinct character through the people who live there, the local businesses that serve them, and the shared spaces where residents interact. Each neighborhood has its own personality, whether it's a bustling urban district filled with cafes and street markets, a quiet suburban area with tree-lined streets and family homes, or a historic quarter where centuries-old architecture tells stories of the past. The strength of a neighborhood lies in its community connections: neighbors who greet each other on morning walks, local shop owners who remember your name, parks where children play together, and the informal networks of support that form when people share the same streets. In cities like Ho Chi Minh City, neighborhoods pulse with vibrant street life—vendors selling phở on corners, motorbikes weaving through alleys, and the constant hum of activity that makes each district unique. A good neighborhood provides not just shelter, but a foundation for daily routines, a network of familiar faces, and that intangible feeling of being "home." It's where life unfolds in its most ordinary and extraordinary moments, creating memories and connections that often last a lifetime.

Everyone has different hobbies, such as playing sports, listening to music, or collecting things.My favorite hobby is reading books.

I think pho is special because it represents Vietnamese culture. Whenever I eat it, I feel proud of my country’s traditional food. Also, it’s healthy and gives me a lot of energy for the day.

I live in Viet Nam and the two most famous cities here in my country are Ho Chi Minh city and Ha Noi. Each city has it's own unique qualities that makes it stand out. Ho Chi Minh is the country’s largest city and a modern economic center, famous for its skyscrapers, shopping malls, and busy lifestyle. While Ha Noi is known for its rich history, traditional culture, and old streets filled with French-style buildings. Other cities like Hue and Hoi An are famous for their ancient architecture and cultural heritage.

Overall, each country has its own interesting city. These cities have their own history, charm, people and culture. I love my country and its people, and i hope we grow better by the day.

Food is undeniably important in our lives. But not just our life, it's responsible for maintaining all life forms. If it breaths air and is living, it will need to eat food to survive.

So, if we are talking about food I would love to share with you my thoughts on it and which food is my favorite! I live here in Ho Chi Minh city and the food that we have here is diverse and delicious. Back then, there weren't any fast food here because the Western influence didn't hit Viet Nam yet. But nowadays, fast food restaurants can be seen almost on every street. I hate to admit it because its not very healthy, but my favorite food of all time has got to be Popeyes fried chicken. There's just something about eating a tender, juicy piece of fried chicken that has been flavored perfectly with seasoning that just makes me happy. Also, i prefer chicken drumsticks and thighs, i think the breasts are kind of dry sometimes and aren't the best in terms of taste.

All in all, food is important for people like you and me. My favorite food is fried chicken from Popeyes. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should give it a go, trust me it will be worth it.

What do people usually do in their free time? Well the correct answer usually is their hobbies, but i know most people would say scrolling through social media.

Hobbies are free time activities that you can do and enjoy. For example, my hobby is martial arts, specifically muay thai. Whenever Im done with school, or get home from my job, i usually hit the gym and hone my martial arts skill on the heavy bag. I do kicking, punching, kneeing and elbowing on the heavy bag in the gym, It's very tiring but i love the challenge and the martial art itself. Though most people would go to a muay thai class, i prefer to learn it on my own, as i don't have enough of money to pay for the muay thai classes. But that is not all, cause my second all time favorite hobby is playing video games. Yes, i know its nothing special at this point because most people would say that too, but atleast i have another hobby that isn't so unhealthy.

In conclusion, you should have hobbies of your own no matter what it is. It helps build skill and knowledge in that specific area and most importantly make use of the free time that you have.

We all need it, we all have to do it at some point of our lives and no, we don't enjoy it very much (most of the time). Im talking about jobs.

A job is a specific position or role where you perform tasks or duties in exchange for payment. Though i don't think this knowledge is any nuance as almost every teenager know what a job is and why we need a job. So, yes jobs are what we have to do in order to make money. I don't think i have to explain why we need money and why its so important cause everyone also knows that. For me, my job is tutoring, but specifically English tutoring (because im good at english). I teach students English knowledge that i know, and correct the mistakes that they are making. Though that is a very short summary of what i do, as there is more to tutoring than just that. But your probably wondering, how much do i get paid tutoring? Well the amount is around 5 Million Dong a month (depends if the student has to skip any of the sessions). I don't hate my job as it's very fitting for people who talks alot like me, but i don't love it as its very tiring and draining mentally.

All in all, jobs are a necessary part of everyones life, as it is what makes money. I don't "love" my job, but i do enjoy my time working. Maybe you should get a job too and try it out.

Neighborhoods are very important, as it determines if you and your family is going to live in a good or bad environment.

A neighborhood is a part of a town or city where people live close to each other. And usually consists of multiple houses being next to one another. The reason why its so important is because it can determine if you are going to be living safely or not. A good neighborhood can be very uplifting and positive, while a bad one can drag you into unwanted bad situations. For example, a quite nice and beautiful neighborhood can make you feel happy and safe. While, a neighborhood filled with gun violence, robberies and break ins are going to affect the place you live and your own safety. It's very important to choose the right neighborhood. Though i can not relate to having a neighborhood as i live in an appartment, we don't really socialize or anything.

In conclusion, avoid bad neighborhoods and be mindful of where you live. Or just live in an appartment like me and stop worrying about the neighbours.
