         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>1. To begin with - Prepared the tart base - can buy for convenience&nbsp;</div><div>2. The next stage is - Custard mixture- At this point - Pour the flour, eggs, and condensed milk, fresh milk - stir, mix&nbsp;</div><div>3. Following this - Pour the mixture on the base&nbsp;</div><div>4. To wrap it up - Bake in the oven - for 170 - 17 mins - ready to serve&nbsp;<br><br>------------<br>To be honest, I’m a die-hard fan of cooking, so I'm a quite handy home cook, especially in making dessert, baking. So I’m gonna introduce you to one of my best favorite cakes - the Egg tart. It’s definitely simple and easy for you to make. You just need about 20’ which is 5’ to prepare the ingredients, make the custard, and 15’ to put it in the oven to bake. So here’s the list of ingredients for a six-serve of Egg tarts:&nbsp; egg, corn starch, condensed milk, fresh sugar-free milk for the custard mixture, . To begin with, for convenience you can buy the tart base to not mess your kitchen up while doing the dough. The next stage is making the custard by breaking an egg then adding about 2 tablespoons of cornstarch next, the condensed milk depends on your appetite. I recommend you should put the ingredients in order as I told you. Following this, stir that mixture up first and finally add about 100ml of fresh sugar-free milk. I shouldn’t forget to tell you that, you should gently pour the custard mixture into the tart base, to prevent air bubbles. To wrap it up, put it in the oven at 160 Celsius degrees for 15’ then you will have a nice mouth-watering golden crunchy ready-to-served Egg tart to enjoy in your spare relaxing time. At the end of the day, I’d say Egg tart is not only my pride of baking skill but also an easy-eating cake to savor. Just do the same with my recipe, you can easily conquer the picky eater.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1.&nbsp;<br>Without a doubt, Yes, I’m a die-hard fan of drawing, and that's the reason why I choose graphic design as my major so that I can broaden my horizon, and gain insight into drawing techniques/skills to have the ability of drawing in both traditional and digital ways.&nbsp;<br>2.&nbsp;<br>To be honest, I must confess that I’m rather partial to Western Arts rather than the Vietnamese ones, so as I’m still in Vietnam now, I'm a bit losing interest in going to an art gallery. If I had a chance, I'd go to Europe to immerse myself in the cradles of Western Arts.&nbsp;<br>3.&nbsp;<br>Absolutely Yes, speaking from a graphic design student, it's like a whole new world for me to get access to Western Arts by studying the History and Aesthetics Philosophy of Arts. Though it's extremely hard for me to do the research continually, some difficult definitions but after studying them, my horizon about Arts is broadened widely, which makes me proud so much.&nbsp;<br>4.&nbsp;<br>Did you learn to draw when you were a kid?</div><div>Between you and me, I must confess that - yes, without a doubt. My love for Art has bloomed since I was a kid. If my memory serves me well, I suppose I did take part in a drawing class when I was in 2nd grade - summer vacation, but soon I dropped out because I prefer to learn something else besides drawing basic animals in a child style.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Van Gogh - Wheat field with cypresses</title>
         <author>rinkakinguyen2003</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Vincent William Van Gogh, a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter. As I'm a big fan of Art, I love immersing myself in searching for paintings, artists,.. and Van Gogh is my most favorite artist. He was born in 1853 in an up-middle class family.On top of that, he is one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. But sadly, it's funny how after he's dead people started recognizing his talent, his works of art. Maybe that is the reason why I love him so much.. If only, once in his lifetime, he could feel that his works, efforts were appreciated, would he ever be depressed, traumatized which led to cut his own ear and decided to end his life by shooting himself? But, reality always hits so hard that at his time, he was considered a madman and a failure. Another thing is that most of his paintings were about landscapes, self- portraits and they were characterized by his very own unique brush style and bold colors. As a matter of fact, people will think I love the “Starry Night” most, but mind you, hands down, my favorite one is always “Wheat field with cypresses”, cause with the nice bright color&nbsp; from Impressionism and his signature painting techniques - "Impasto" combination, I feel so peaceful and relaxed whenever it catches my eyes. It’s like a shelter and comfort zone for me to look for whenever I’m stressed and exhausted. To put it in a nutshell, I bet that Van Gogh felt the same as me. At the end of the day, till this day, whenever I read about his biography, I just feel pity for that talented great man. May he find his happiness.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is crystal clear that a lot of children get access to and enjoy playing computer games in this developing technology era. This essay aims to discuss the useful and useless impacts of this tendency and steps that should be tackled by several effective solutions to solve these issues.&nbsp;</div><div>Noticeably, playing games has already had some influences, both positively and negatively. In positive terms, Games are the tools for kids to entertain in their leisure time after doing tasks. Besides, the Virtual world is also a good place to find soulmates as well as broaden their horizon from the educational content. But, on the other hand, young teenagers easily get addicted to those entertainment which can lead to a large number of consequences. By the way of illustration, they can have bad effects on both physical and mental health, for instance, obesity, eyes strained, etc from sitting for hours in the incorrect posture and grabbing tons of junk food. Besides, the virtual world is a dangerous world of cyberbullying and scamming which can lead kids into depression or even worse - criminal behavioral patterns, as they may get access to unsuitable and violent content.&nbsp;</div><div>Since such issues are serious, steps should be taken immediately to address these problems. The first solution would be good parenting, as they are responsible for guiding their children, by raising awareness, and monitoring the games’ content that kids play. A second measure would be that children are encouraged to learn how to manage their time and take up a new hobby to distract them from games such as outdoor activities, playing instruments, etc.&nbsp;</div><div>In conclusion, there are various positives and negatives of playing computer games and appropriate steps need to be taken to solve these problems.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>It is crystal clear that in this modern age, the young have difficulty applying for a steady job and moving up their career ladder. This essay aims to elucidate a plethora of reasons behind this tendency and several solutions should be adopted to tackle the situation.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The responsibility for this phenomenon lies in both subjective and objective ways. One reason is that the young people in this blooming technology era frequently expect a far-reaching goal such as a well-paid occupation at the beginning of their career. Taking an example from my observation, I have witnessed a lot of the young made wrong choices of course which are not their real passion and dream, as a result, they lack numerous essential soft skills for that job. Furthermore, that reason has been caused by our Vietnamese educational system, especially the Universities’ curriculums. To be more specific, we put too much effort focus on learning theoretical knowledge which makes the freshly graduated don't have any practical experiences.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Since such issues are serious, fortunately, several steps could be taken immediately to prevent this problem. The quick fix is that we should do a revolution and renovation of our national syllabus by applying feasible and effective practical knowledge such as communication, solving problems, teamwork, etc skills besides hard skills. A second measure would be the consistency in career orientation, which can help young people search for a suitable job fitting their God-gifted ability and talents and it would be easier for them to have the promotion prospects and move up their career ladder.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>In conclusion, it is obvious that there are numerous causes for the difficulty in searching for a stable job for the freshly graduated, and appropriate steps need to be taken to solve these problems.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

Such convenient public transportation is that I don't have to worry about the increase in gas prices like my friends.&nbsp;</li><li>Between you and me, I live in a suburban area, so it is kind of hard for me to visit big parks in our city as they are located surrounding the center of the city.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>To begin with, between you and me, speaking of a rural town that I plan to visit shortly, my go-to choice is definitely Tuy Hoa, Phu Yen. It's a coastal town which locates in the middle of Vietnam with tons of specialties and hidden tourist destinations. I suppose the next summer vacation will be a suitable time for me to travel to Tuy Hoa. After that, I have to study abroad, so it’ll be the nearest chance for me to complete my bucket list, which is to visit my best English teacher, who now lives there and continue his passionate teaching career. On top of that, If I had a chance, I'd prefer to go by myself or with my friends to enjoy the trip integrally and comfortably. As I mentioned before, I’d love to have all the Tuy Hoa specialties to differentiate the difference between the southern and the middle cuisine. Last but not least, I want to step on, and explore more natural hidden destinations such as: Ganh Da Dia, ... And shouldn't forget to mention immersing in the gorgeous sea of Phu Yen. So hope that I'm able to fulfill my traveling plan.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The provided illustration gives information about the process in which bricks are created&nbsp; for the construction industry. As is presented, the image consists of seven phases of manufacturing bricks, commencing with unearthing the clay and culminating with distributing the final products to the customers.&nbsp;</div><div>Initially, the clay is excavated out of the ground by a gigantic digger. Following this, that clay is laid on the metal grid, which is used to standardize it into tiny pieces. After that, it is mixed with sand and water in order to create a mixture, which then is molded into the typical-brick shape.&nbsp;</div><div>Subsequently, those rectangle bricks are put into the oven so as to experience the drying process for 24 to 48 hours. At this point, the dehydrated bricks are continuously kept in the kiln, both in moderate and high temperatures, up to 1300 degrees, then placed in a cooling chamber for about two to three days. After that stage, the finished products are packed and ultimately ready for distribution to the consumer.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>The supplied illustration depicts the life cycle of the frog, from spawn to a fully grown amphibian. It can be clearly seen that there are six distinguishable phases of the growth of a frog, commencing with the copulating process and consummating with the metamorphosis being fully mature.</div><div>Initially, the female and the male frog in the breeding season consummate with each other to give birth to a plethora of frog spawn. Then, these eggs grow into small tadpoles. Following this, gradually these tadpoles witness metamorphosis in themselves, through the appearance of the back limbs and the elongation of the tail. Subsequently, the juvenile tadpoles undergo more changes with the growth of the back limbs, the emergence of the front legs, enlargement of the mouth, eyes, and body as well as the complete degrowth of the tail. However, it retains its ability to swim as well as develop its respirability so as to accommodate its new habitat and become a fully grown frog. Having completed all these stages, the life cycle will then begin again.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>Is it important to expose children/infants to music at an early age? how early should we do that?<br><br></div><div>According to my knowledge, I suppose, without a doubt, it's essential to let the infant listen to music at an early age. Because there is a study that the earlier they play the relaxing music to babies in the womb, the higher chance that the babies will recognize it and as a result, they feel calmer and able to perceive pitch, which can lead them to gain the ability to differentiate the intonation to prevent being tone-deaf.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>SHOULD PARENTS REQUIRE CHILDREN TO TAKE UP MUSIC LESSONS?</div><div>Speaking from my observation and humble knowledge, I suppose yes, the parent should require children to expose to music soon. Because taking up music lessons will help kids prevent being tone-deaf as well as lacking confidence. Another thing is that it also makes kids practice discipline, and coordination and boosts their creativity. But mind you, I think each kid has their own ability, and strength in a specific aspect that the parents should not urge them to do that if they don't want to, instead help them to find their strong point.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>WHY DO SOME PEOPLE PREFER TO LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC WHILE OTHERS PREFER CDS?</div><div>Live music:&nbsp;</div><ul><li>interaction with others - idols, singers - realistic voices, etc&nbsp;</li><li>Deliver the emotion of the song - through body language - interaction&nbsp;</li><li>Nice atmosphere - chance to live your lively life - immersed in interests</li><li>Gather like-minded friends&nbsp;</li><li>Suitable for extrovert&nbsp;</li></ul><div>CDS:&nbsp;</div><ul><li>high quality of sound, voice, etc. - clear&nbsp;</li><li>Listen everywhere - anytime - convenient&nbsp;</li><li>Suitable for introvert&nbsp;</li><li>Save money&nbsp;</li></ul>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>MUSIC LESSONS - YOUNGSTERS - FORCED<br><br>In this modern age, it is crystal clear that the question of whether children should learn music from a young age is provoking a heated argument. Whereas some people stick to the opinion that youngsters need to focus on music lessons, I’m on the side to raise objections that the offspring should not be forced to study music.</div><div><br></div><div>Though it is not scientifically proven, there are two main reasons why people support the idea of urging young kids to learn music at an early age.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Neurology:&nbsp;</div><ul><li>Improve brain function/muscle memory - prevent memory loss diseases - hand - eyes coordination.</li></ul><div><br></div><div>Social benefits:&nbsp;</div><ul><li>Self-expression/self-confidence - high chance of moving on the career ladder.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><div>Apart from the practical benefits that learning music brings to young children, as I expressed above, I believe that youngsters should not be forced to learn something they might don't have interested in.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Individual:&nbsp;</div><ul><li>Waste of time: music is not a prerequisite - each individual has their own talent, strength&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><div>Society:&nbsp;</div><ul><li>Force -&gt; rebellion&nbsp;</li><li>Family burden -&gt; discrimination&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, it seems to me that, youngsters should be guided to find their true ability rather than be urged to learn something they don't like such as taking up music lessons.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>It is not hard to see that the education system can reap great merits of developing students’ soft skills such as linguistics, public speaking, and communication skills from the state investment. This means that, with all the essential and high-quality learning tools, teachers and students have the autonomy to display their creativity at its finest through projects and assignments. Another positive thing is that paying for all the educational costs could lessen and ease the family’s financial burden as everyone has the access to high-quality education. With that being the case, this will eradicate the acute illiteracy problems and as a result, this advantage will stabilize and develop a more civilized society.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>Speaking - time you help your friend </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Between you and me, I must confess that helping friends is my thing, I just can't help doing it, so if you ask me to describe it, I would like to tell you my most recent and memorable help that I’ve still remembered vividly. It occurred last May when the final project season at my university took place. You can imagine the hustle and bustle atmosphere there when everybody was working around the clock, and immersed themselves in projects and my friends are not an exception. As I’m in a different major so I’d already done my final that's the reason why I was able to jump in and lend them a helping hand. Had it not been for my timely support, they couldn't have submitted the project in time and perfectly. We had been burning the midnight oil of lining, inking, and coloring the architecture, constructions, and interior for the whole day and even overnight in a coffee shop. Though we were all exhausted, we were over the moon that finally we had gone through a hard complicating project. I feel that was an opportunity to not only tighten my friendship but also enhance my skills, techniques and broaden my horizon in this area.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
