One time, I needed to ask for support with my math homework. I was confused about a difficult problem and didn’t know how to solve it. It was last week after school, and I felt stuck. I decided to ask my best friend for receiving advices because she is good at math. I went to her and explained my problem. She listened carefully and showed me step-by-step how to solve it. She told me to break the equation into smaller parts, which made it easier to follow. After she helped me, I felt much more confident. I was happy because I finally understood the math question. Thanks to her advices, I was able to finish my homework on time. I also learned a new way to approach difficult problems. Now, I know I can ask for help when I need it, and it makes me feel less worried. The experience made me realize that asking for help can make things easier and more fun.

One evening, while doing my math homework, I found myself completely stuck. No matter how many times I read the questions, I just couldn’t understand them. I felt frustrated and close to tears because I had spent so much time trying and still couldn’t figure it out. I didn’t want to give up, so I decided to ask my older sister for help because she was great with math. She came into my room and sat next to me. Instead of just giving me the answers, she patiently listened to my questions and explained each step clearly. She used simple words and real-life examples to help me understand. Every time I got confused, she calmly explained again until it made sense. We worked through each problem together, and with her help, I slowly started to understand the math problem better. By the time we finished, I not only completed my homework but also felt much more confident. The next day at school, I took a math test and was able to solve the problems on my own. I got a good grade, which was really amazing. That experience taught me that it is understandable to ask for help when we are in difficult situations. Sometimes, support from someone who cares can make all the difference.

One time, I was stuck on a frustrating math question, so I reached out to my mom for a little bit of help. Earlier that week, our teacher assigned our class with a daunting 3-page algebra worksheet for homework. There were 2 days left until the deadline, but thankfully, I managed to complete the first two pages in relative ease. It was until I reached the third page that my hopes of finishing easily were shattered. I stared at the questions for hours on end, my eyes felt like they were giving up on themselves, and despite trying countless methods, the answer just didn’t come out right. It was exhausting, and I was on the verge of turning in the sheet uncompleted. Finally, I decided to stop being so stubborn and sheepishly asked my mom for help in the living room. As I explained the equation, she listened quietly while taking notes at the same time. In mere minutes, she identified a series of mistakes I made, which I understood almost immediately. With her guidance, I could finally finish the homework on time. The relief I felt was refreshing, and I was truly grateful for her patience and kindness.

I still remember the day I had to ask for help, even though I was too shy to speak up at first. It was a cold, rainy afternoon, and I was walking home from school when my umbrella flipped inside out because of the strong wind. Within minutes, I was completely drenched. I didn’t have a raincoat, and my bag was starting to soak through. I felt helpless and frustrated, close to tears. Just then, I noticed an older girl from my school standing nearby under a big red umbrella. I hesitated, feeling embarrassed, but I gathered my courage and quietly asked, “Can I walk with you for a bit?” To my surprise, she smiled warmly and said, “Of course, come here!” We walked side by side, chatting a little, and I slowly started to feel better. She walked with me until I reached my street, even though it wasn’t her way home. That small moment of kindness stayed with me. It reminded me that asking for help isn’t something to be ashamed of, sometimes it opens the door to connection and unexpected kindness.

During my trip in Hoi An, I had to wait for over 10 hours with nobody else but the counsellors, and it helped me overcome one of my biggest weaknesses. For summer, I attended a camp in Hoi An and travelled by plane. When the camp ended, me and my group were moving back to the airport for a flight at 7:30. At the airport, we waited in a coffee shop for hours, and it was incredibly boring. Our flight got delayed multiple times, and most students already switched to another flight. I didn’t bother asking anyone because of my awkwardness. It was getting late and there was only me and 2 other counsellors left still waiting. I finally worked up the courage to ask them about the situation, and thankfully, they commended me to just call my parents and directly drive me home. Turns out, if I had waited at the airport for longer, I would’ve had to wait 2 more hours! This experience taught me that I shouldn’t be scared to ask adults.

One afternoon, when I was 4 years old. I was careless in the elevator to go back to my apartment when something unexpected happened. Somehow, my hand got stuck between the elevator door and the wall. At first, I panicked and didn’t know what to do, I so confused and scared. Then, I saw a woman standing nearby, so I quickly asked her for help. She came over right away, pressed the emergency button, and carefully helped me pull my hand out. Thanks to her quick thinking and kindness, I didn’t get hurt badly. That day, I learned that sometimes it’s okay to ask for help when you really need it, and there are always kind people willing to help.

The Tower of Pisa, Machu Pichu, The Taj Mahal are example of UNESCO World Heritage. Traditionals are known as intangible cultural heritage. Intangible heritage does not include buildings, places or temples. Instead it includes traditional art forms like : music, dance, and handicrafts are important parts of a place’s cultures. UNESCO first reconize the Puppet Theatre of Sicily and Mexico’s Day of the Dead festival in 2008. In 2017, UNESCO approve Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, Spanish flameco, Brazil and Korean Taekkyeon, and handicrafts like Japanese washi - paper - making. In 2010, UNESCO approved some traditional food like : French and Mexican food, Korean kimchi, and Croatian gingerbread. In 2015, Arabic coffee was included because of sharing cofffee has been an important aspect of Arab hospitality for centuries. The weddin ritual in Algeria starts in the bride’s parent’s home, symbolic henna designs were applied the the bride’ hand, her head was wrapped in golden silk veil. When the fest starts, the bride remove the silk veil, ready to be married. Some cultures are dying out like AI Sadu the traditional weaving festival. Today, AI Sadu is mostly practice by older woman whose number are declining. UNESCO is to promote peace through respect for the world’s varried culture.

UNESCO isn’t just about protecting famous landmarks like the Taj Mahal or the Tower of Pisa, it also cares deeply about the traditions that live in people’s everyday lives. These are things you can’t touch like buildings, but you can feel them: a song passed down through generations, a wedding ceremony filled with meaning, or a shared family recipe. They’re called “living traditions,” and they include music, dance, storytelling, food, and craft-making, parts of culture that bring people together and keep history alive. Since 2008, UNESCO has worked to protect over 300 of these traditions, such as the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, Korean kimchi-making, and Brazilian capoeira. Many of them are still widely practiced, but others are slowly disappearing. One example is Al Sadu weaving in the United Arab Emirates, once a common art among Bedouin women, now mostly kept alive by elders.

These traditions matter. In Algeria, for instance, a wedding ceremony involves family, symbolic clothes, henna designs, and special rituals that connect generations. UNESCO wants the world to see how valuable these cultural roots are. As the world grows more connected and fast-paced, holding on to these traditions helps us remember who we are and how we belong.

# data[].attributes.body
Unlike UNESCO Word Heritage Sites, "intangible heritage" includes traditional art forms, regional cuisines and cultural events. In 2008, UNESCO identify the first cultural traditions, and by 2017, they had approved more than 300 diverse practices. In 2010, UNESCO also began including important regional cuisines. Cultural rituals are an important part of the UNESCO list, often being passed through generations, and symbolic of the community's cultural identity. Despite this, some cultural items on the list are dying out and in need of protection. UNESCO's main goal to promote peace through respecting varied cultures and common humanity in the hopes that, by bringing attention to dying traditions, they will be more likely to survive.

I believe young children can benefit from having their own cellphone, young children can benefit from having their own cellphone if used responsibly. A cellphone can be a useful tool for communication, especially in emergencies. It allows parents to stay in touch with their children when they are at school, on a trip, or with friends. Additionally, many educational apps can help children learn math, reading, and other skills in a fun and interactive way. With proper parental controls, children can safely explore the digital world and develop important tech skills early. Therefore, having a cellphone can be both helpful and educational for young children.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think young children need their own cellphones just yet. Childhood is a special time to explore, play, and connect with people face to face not through a screen. When kids get phones too early, they can easily become distracted by games, videos, or social media, which can take time away from studying or playing outside with friends. It can also affect their sleep and make them feel anxious or left out if they see things online they don’t understand. Some parents give their kids phones to stay in touch, which is understandable, but there are other ways to keep them safe like using a basic phone or communicating through a teacher or guardian. Personally, I think it’s better to wait until a child is older and can handle the responsibility. Phones are useful, but young kids should enjoy being kids, not worry about messages or apps.

# data[].attributes.body
While the invention of cellphones has revolutionized communication, I don’t think that children need their own one. The Internet and social media are known to cause addiction in children, with constant stimulation and excessive screen time. This can impair cognitive functions at a young age, potentially leading to reduced attention spans, poor academic performance, and worse social skills. Moreover, cyberbullying and manipulation are abundantly present in many online communities. Children can very easily be misled or taken advantage of by untrustworthy people, leading to exploitation or emotional trauma. Additionally, unrestricted access to inappropriate or violent content can desensitize kids to bad influences. Consequently, they may grow up admiring or even adopting these problematic traits. Overall, due to many disadvantages of the cellphone, children shouldn’t be provided with one.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, young children should have their own cell phones because I think they bring many useful benefits. I believe phones help children contact parents or ask for help quickly if they get lost or face danger. I also think cell phones give access to educational apps, online lessons, and creative tools that encourage curiosity and help them learn new skills. Besides, using a phone can teach children to be more disciplined and responsible, for example, by planning daily tasks or writing a diary. Personally, I feel cell phones also help children stay in touch with family and friends, building stronger relationships and emotional support even when they are far apart. Although some people worry that cell phones might distract children, I believe the advantages are greater. Overall, I think having a cell phone can improve children’s safety, learning, and personal growth, so it is a valuable tool in modern life.

Do children need cellphones, that is a really big question. In my opinion, children don't need cellphones because they can bring many negative benefits. First, they might receive calls from unknown individuals and be deceived into doing they shouldn't do. Next, children may become distracted by addictive online games or apps, which can hinder their ability to concentrate on their studies. This distraction can lead to poor academic performance and bad grades. Cellphones can also lead to inactive eyesight problem. Cellphones can spread out lots of blue light which can harm your eyesight. Then, using cellphones and going online can easily expose to inappropriate content that affects mental health. Lastly, less face to face interaction too much time on screens can leads to less time for hanging out with friends which can negatively affects real life relationships. In conclusion, children shouldn't have a cellphone.

In my opinion, money can bring happiness and certainly plays an important role in our lives. Of course, having enough money can reduce stress by covering basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. Money can also help people buy a new house to protect themselves during natural disasters or in harsh winter weather. Additionally, it creates various opportunities to travel around the world, study abroad, or enjoy entertainment, which may bring temporary joy. According to highly credible information from a joint study by researchers from Penn (Wharton School) and Princeton (Daniel Kahneman, Matthew Killingsworth, and Barbara Mellers), the results showed that for most people, higher income is associated with greater happiness, and there is no clear cut‑off point where this effect stops. However, there is a smaller subgroup of “unhappy” individuals whose happiness improves only up to around $100,000 per year, after which additional income makes little difference. In the U.S., there are many people who don’t have enough money, so they have to live in homelessness. For these reasons, I believe money can bring happiness and help people in many aspects of their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
bring happiness. While money can be exciting at first, have you ever been truly satisfied by the things you buy for the long-term? The happiness that comes from money is often temporary and you’ll most likely forget about it in 2 months or less. Additionally, people can also get trapped in a loop of worrying about maintaining or growing their bank account. This not only increases stress and anxiety but can also lead to more exhaustion and early burnout. Finally, genuine happiness stems from things that give you purpose. Money can never replace the relationships you’ve built throughout your life or the personal lessons you’ve individually learnt. In conclusion, happiness can’t be bought by money despite its many benefits in other parts of life.
