She has always been engrossed in this work that needs colossal knowledge, it's like an invisible rock. But she is always happy because she derives a lot of pleasure from it. On top of that, she received love and admiration from everyone. Now, she plans to spend time teaching disabled children at the unsocial working hours. Of course, I support that.

2021-09-26 02:19:09 UTC

point of view: a feeling or opinion about something or someone

there is a heavy cloud inside my head: they are depressed or that they are dealing with a lot of stress or sadness.

isolation /ˌaɪ.səlˈeɪ.ʃən/: the condition of being alone, especially when this makes you feel unhappy

desert of joy = place having no joy

***BLUE SKY - LEMON TREE
- The blue sky is quite obvious, it represents a sunny day (a sky without clouds), and so it stands for happiness and optimism.
- The lemon tree is a sign for bitterness (lemon is acid, sour, bitter, and a lemon tree has lots of lemons), and so it would stand for sadness, pessimism, the opposite of blue sky
--> when life gives you lemons... make lemonade
= when something bad happens to you, try to make something good out of it.

2. Fact of the song:
The singer (Peter Freudenthaler) had a French girlfriend who died in a car accident... she crashed against a lemon tree. So yes, the lemon tree stands for bitterness, sadness, it’s the opposite of blue sky, but now we can easily understand why.

2021-09-28 12:00:51 UTC

In my point of view, friendship is an important medicine for life. My best friends have made me so much happier. When I'm lost in the dark, or when there is a heavy cloud inside my head, they always find a way to make me smile. They make me feel like I can count on them. When I felt like I was walking in the desert of joy, those wonderful friends helped me understand: "a friend in need is a friend indeed". Although the isolation because of the covid - 19 makes it difficult for us to see each other, our friendship is always beautiful.

I've figured out a few methods of communication that can help us become more confident. Firstly, being honest is a good thing, but you also need to be ingenious. This will keep your conversations from becoming rude. Second, you should learn how to communicate fluently, this is very important to become attractive in communication. And there are many more things you can imitate through Youtube videos. I think that's basically what you need when you want to get better at conversing.

Nowadays, if you are interested in learning foreign languages, there are many ways to approach them. You can search for groups on Facebook, where a lot of people are also in common with interest foreign languages. Besides, sometimes you will have the opportunity to talk to polyglots and find their methods. There is another way that you can take classes at language centers, which will enable you to increase your chances of using the language you are learning. Those are some of my ideas, hope you will be able to find more unique methods.

You are worried about figuring out the best way to learn a foreign language for your kids? Well, I have something for you. Some kids are geniuses, some aren't, so you need to give your kids a language learning process. Kids often love to draw what they love, so you can turn the books into handmade flashcards or colorful grammar charts. This will help them learn new words more easily and they don't feel bored. The shortcut to learning foreign language is showing them sitcoms or letting them listen to podcasts before bed time. Unlike adults, children need more relaxing methods. And if you can do like this, that will be the ingredient in your success.

She used to be very insecure, but her boyfriend made her feel great about herself. He said that she turned head even without make up, she always overwhelmed him with her own cuteness. And that's why she thinks she doesn't need to cover up or be shy when they're together. She started to feel more comfortable in front of the crowd and she thinks she ain't insecure. She feels lucky to have met her boyfriend who lights up her life. Although it's hard for her to show her feelings, she wishes that if only he knew she also loved him desperately.

1/ Day of the Dead
I arrive in Guatemala on The Day of the Dead, November 1st. I’m (1)...curious... about this holiday, so I go to the (2)...cemetery.. to see what’s happening. What I find is quite interesting.
The (3)..atmosphere..... is like a party. There are people everywhere. Families are sitting around the (4)...graves.... of their dead ancestors. They clean the graves and add fresh flowers. I walk through the cemetery and admire the beauty of all the colorful flowers. There is also color in the sky, because many kids are flying kites. Some families are having a picnic
next to the graves. They eat, drink, and chat together. People laugh and smile. In the Unites States, cemeteries are always (5)....somber.... We certainly never have festivals or parties
next to graves. We don’t laugh or play music or fly kites in cemeteries either. I find that I prefer the Guatemalan (6)...approach... I like the way they remember and celebrate those
who have (7)...passed away..... I like that they acknowledge death, instead of denying it the way Americans do. I like that there is life, as well as death, in their cemeteries. Guatemalans call it “The Day of the Dead”, but it is also a day to (8)..appreciate...... life.

Halloween is a traditional festival celebrated on October 31 every year. Due to the development and intersection of culture, Halloween is now not only a religious festival but also a popular and familiar entertainment costume festival in many countries. Halloween is rooted in the Celtic people - a long-standing people - more than 2,000 years ago on the land what are now the countries of England, Ireland and northern France. There are two meanings that Halloween wants to convey: the meaning of education and the meaning of humanity. The first is that life should not be stingy, dull or excessively greedy, be compassionate, charitable, and help those in need. Secondly, do not joke with the devil and the "devil" here is figuratively understood, that is, threats, deceptions, threatening, scaring others, and mischievous things that harm others.

Nervous system is the controller of the body. Led by the brain nerves, it allows us to move, talk and feel emotions. Your nervous system guides almost everything you do, think, say or feel. It controls complicated processes like movement, thought and memory. It also plays an essential role in the things your body does without thinking, such as breathing, blushing and blinking.

The nerves receive information from the world around you. Then the nerves interpret the information and control your response. It’s almost like an enormous information highway running throughout your body.

The nervous system has two main parts. There are Central nervous system and Peripheral nervous system. Your peripheral nervous system contains your Somatic nervous system and Autonomic nervous system.

Thousands of disorders and conditions can affect your nerves. Nerve injury can cause numbness, a pins-and-needles feeling or pain. It may be difficult or impossible for you to move the area that’s injured. Nerve damage can happen in several ways. Some of the most common causes of nerve damage include: disease, Stroke, Accidental injury, Pressure, toxic substances and aging process.

The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.

The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum. The jejunum is in the middle and the ileum is at the end. The large intestine includes the appendix, cecum, colon, and rectum. The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the cecum. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. The colon is next. The rectum is the end of the large intestine.

Each part of your digestive system helps to move food and liquid through your GI tract, break food and liquid into smaller parts, or both. Once foods are broken into small enough parts, your body can absorb and move the nutrients to where they are needed. Your large intestine absorbs water, and the waste products of digestion become stool. Nerves and hormones help control the digestive process.

When I need to focus on work or something, listening to music is also a way for me to clear my mind and work better. And that's why in my point of view, it's necessary to give music classes in the school. What that class gives students is not professional skills, it's relaxation after stressful hours.

Music is an important part of our life as it is a way of expressing our feelings as well as emotions. Some people consider music as a way to escape from the pain of life. It gives you relax and allows you to reduce the stress. It's often more easy for children to learn music than adults, because for the younger generation, they know more genres of music and their age is more suitable for getting used to something new. My favorite song is Roses by Finn Askew. Its melody makes me feel like I'm sitting on a cloud. The song is about a boy's love for a girl, he always gives her the best he has and wishes she would love herself more. If you have a chance you can listen to it if you want.

There are two things that make humans different from all other animals. They are language and music. Music is clearly different from language. However, people can use it to communicate - especially their emotions. Like reading, writing and speaking, music can express ideas, thoughts and feelings. It can express one’s anger, love, hate or friendship; it can also convey one's hopes and dreams.

Music is very much an integral part of our life. It is played during almost all important events and on special occasions and sets the tone for them. It adds joyfulness to the atmosphere of a festival and makes a funeral more solemn and mournful. Music lulls babies to sleep at night and wakes students up in the morning.
Above all, music entertains. It makes people happy and excited. It delights the senses. In fact, music as entertainment has always been a big business. It is a billion-dollar industry. It is difficult 10 imagine what our lives would be like without music.

1. What's the meaning of the idiom 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?
The idiom used to express the fact that not all people have the same opinions about what is attractive.

2. What's the origin of the phrase 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?
This proverb, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ is attributed to Margaret Hungerford who was an Irish novelist. Hungerford lived between 1855 and 1897, and she tended to write using a pen name: ‘The Duchess’.

In her novel ‘Molly Bawn’ (her most well known book), she included the idiom ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’.

Hungerford was well known in her time for coming up with catchy sayings and proverbs, however this proverb is by far her most famous one.

3. What do you prefer Beauty or Brain?

In my point of view, I prefer Brain. Because external beauty will only make people fall in love with you at first, then the thing to make them stay with you longer is the beauty of your intelligence. In addition, if you are a smart person, you will know how to make yourself look more attractive. That's why I choose Brain.

Peace is like the air around us. We need it everyday. We think about it everyday but somehow we assume that protecting it is not our responsibility. War doesn't just occur in the past. War is the fight between the evil and angel inside each of us so we are the ones who can manage it and we are the ones who can control it. Growing up without my parents taught me how important love is and l'm standing here for the ones who feel neglected, abandoned and somehow you want to spread the pain and the hurt to the others. Please let the love and sympathy raise your inner self so that war and violence cannot happen. I could be neglected but I wont ignore you because I know each of us are the part of changing the world. We are our own hero. Let us all make the brand whole world peace and beautiful

huonggiang2311spnn — 2021-12-10 13:26:00 UTC

Thank you so much. I am a journalist. My job is to talk to people from all walks of life, all over the world. Today, I want to tell you why I decided to do this with my life and what I've learned. My story begins in Caracas, Venezuela, in South America, where I grew up; a place that to me was, and always will be, filled with magic and wonder. Frоm a very young age, my parents wanted me to have a wider view of the world. I remember one time when I was around seven years old, my dad came up to me and said, "Mariana, I'm going to send you and your little sister..." - who was six at the time - "...to a place where nobody speaks Spanish. I want you to experience different cultures." He went on and on about the benefits of spending an entire summer in this summer camp in the United States, stressing a little phrase that I didn't pay too much attention to at the time: "You never know what the future holds." Meanwhile, in my seven-year-old mind, I was thinking, we were going to get to summer camp in Miami. (Laughter) Maybe it was going to be even better, and we were going to go a little further north, to Orlando, where Mickey Mouse lived. (Laughter) I got really excited. My dad, however, had a slightly different plan. Frоm Caracas, he he sent us to Brainerd, Minnesota. (Laughter) Mickey Mouse was not up there, (Laughter) and with no cell phone, no Snapchat, or Instagram, I couldn't look up any information. We got there, and one of the first things I noticed was that the other kids' hair was several shades of blonde, and most of them had blue eyes. Meanwhile, this is what we looked like. The first night, the camp director gathered everyone around the campfire and said, "Kids, we have a very international camp this year; the Atencios are here from Venezuela." (Laughter) The other kids looked at us as if we were from another planet. They would ask us things like, "Do you know what a hamburger is?" Or, "Do you go to school on a donkey or a canoe?" (Laughter) I would try to answer in my broken English, and they would just laugh. I know they were not trying to be mean; they were just trying to understand who we were, and make a correlation with the world they knew. We could either be like them, or like characters out of a book filled with adventures, like Aladdin or the Jungle Book. We certainly didn't look like them, we didn't speak their language, we were different. When you're seven years old, that hurts. But I had my little sister to take care of, and she cried every day at summer camp. So I decided to put on a brave face, and embrace everything I could about the American way of life. We later did what we called "the summer camp experiment," for eight years in different cities that many Americans haven't even heard of. What I remember most about these moments was when I finally clicked with someone. Making a friend was a special reward. Everybody wants to feel valued and accepted, and we think it should happen spontaneously, but it doesn't. When you're different, you have to work at belonging. You have to be either really helpful, smart, funny, anything to be cool for the crowd you want to hang out with. Later on, when I was in high school, my dad expanded on his summer plan, and from Caracas he sent me to Wallingford, Connecticut, for the senior year of high school. This time, I remember daydreaming on the plane about "the American high school experience" - with a locker. It was going to be perfect, just like in my favorite TV show: "Saved by the Bell." (Laughter) I get there, and they tell me that my assigned roommate is eagerly waiting. I opened the door, and there she was, sitting on the bed, with a headscarf. Her name was Fatima, and she was Muslim from Bahrain, and she was not what I expected. She probably sensed my disappointment when I looked at her because I didn't do too much to hide it. See, as a teenager, I wanted to fit in even more, I wanted to be popular, maybe have a boyfriend for prom, and I felt that Fatima just got in the way with her shyness and her strict dress code. I didn't realize that I was making her feel like the kids at summer camp made me feel. This was the high school equivalent of asking her, "Do you know what a hamburger is?" I was consumed by my own selfishness and unable to put myself in her shoes. I have to be honest with you, we only lasted a couple of months together, because she was later sent to live with a counselor instead of other students. I remember thinking, "Ah, she'll be okay. She's just different." You see, when we label someone as different, it dehumanizes them in a way. They become "the other." They're not worthy of our time, not our problem, and in fact, they, "the other," are probably the cause of our problems. So, how do we recognize our blind spots? It begins by understanding what makes you different, by embracing those traits. Only then can you begin to appreciate what makes others special. I remember when this hit me. It was a couple months after that. I had found that boyfriend for prom, made a group of friends, and practically forgotten about Fatima, until everybody signed on to participate in this talent show for charity. You needed to offer a talent for auction. It seemed like everybody had something special to offer. Some kids were going to play the violin, others were going to recite a theater monologue, and I remember thinking, "We don't practice talents like these back home." But I was determined to find something of value. The day of the talent show comes, and I get up on stage with my little boom box, and put it on the side and press "Play," and a song by my favorite emerging artist, Shakira, comes up. And I go, "Whenever, wherever, we're meant to be together," and I said, "My name is Mariana, and I'm going to auction a dance class." It seemed like the whole school raised their hand to bid. My dance class really stood out from, like, the 10th violin class offered that day. Going back to my dorm room, I didn't feel different. I felt really special. That's when I started thinking about Fatima, a person that I had failed to see as special, when I first met her. She was from the Middle East, just like Shakira's family was from the Middle East. She could have probably taught me a thing or two about belly dancing, had I been open to it. Now, I want you all to take that sticker that was given to you at the beginning of our session today, where you wrote down what makes you special, and I want you to look at it. If you're watching at home, take a piece of paper, and write down what makes you different. You may feel guarded when you look at it, maybe even a little ashamed, maybe even proud. But you need to begin to embrace it. Remember, it is the first step in appreciating what makes others special. When I went back home to Venezuela, I began to understand how these experiences were changing me. Being able to speak different languages, to navigate all these different people and places, it gave me a unique sensibility. I was finally beginning to understand the importance of putting myself in other people's shoes. That is a big part of the reason why I decided to become a journalist. Especially being from a part of the world that is often labeled "the backyard," "the illegal aliens," "third-world," "the others," I wanted to do something to change that. It was right around the time, however, when the Venezuelan government shut down the biggest television station in our country. Censorship was growing, and my dad came up to me once again and said, "How are you going to be a journalist here? You have to leave." That's when it hit me. That's what he had been preparing me for. That is what the future held for me. So in 2008, I packed my bags, and I came to the United States, without a return ticket this time. I was painfully aware that, at 24 years old, I was becoming a refugee of sorts, an immigrant, the other, once again, and now for good. I was able to come on a scholarship to study journalism. I remember when they gave me my first assignment to cover the historic election of President Barack Obama. I felt so lucky, so hopeful. I was, like, "Yes, this is it. I've come to post-racial America, where the notion of us and them is being eroded, and will probably be eradicated in my lifetime." Boy, was I wrong, right? Why didn't Barack Obama's presidency alleviate racial tensions in our country? Why do some people still feel threatened by immigrants, LGBTQ, and minority groups who are just trying to find a space in this United States that should be for all of us? I didn't have the answers back then, but on November 8th, 2016, when Donald Trump became our president, it became clear that a large part of the electorate sees them as "the others." Some see people coming to take their jobs, or potential terrorists who speak a different language. Meanwhile, minority groups oftentimes just see hatred, intolerance, and narrow-mindedness on the other side. It's like we're stuck in these bubbles that nobody wants to burst. The only way to do it, the only way to get out of it is to realize that being different also means thinking differently. It takes courage to show respect. In the words of Voltaire: "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it." Failing to see anything good on the other side makes a dialogue impossible. Without a dialogue, we will keep repeating the same mistakes, because we will not learn anything new. I covered the 2016 election for NBC News. It was my first big assignment in this mainstream network, where I had crossed over from Spanish television. And I wanted to do something different. I watched election results with undocumented families. Few thought of sharing that moment with people who weren't citizens, but actually stood the most to lose that night. When it became apparent that Donald Trump was winning, this eight-year-old girl named Angelina rushed up to me in tears. She sobbed, and she asked me if her mom was going to be deported now. I hugged her back and I said, "It's going to be okay," but I really didn't know. This was the photo we took that night, forever ingrained in my heart. Here was this little girl who was around the same age I was when I went to camp in Brainerd. She already knows she is "the other." She walks home from school in fear, every day, that her mom can be taken away. So, how do we put ourselves in Angelina's shoes? How do we make her understand she is special, and not simply unworthy of having her family together? By giving camera time to her and families like hers, I tried to make people see them as human beings, and not simply "illegal aliens." Yes, they broke a law, and they should pay a penalty for it, but they've also given everything for this country, like many other immigrants before them have. I've already told you how my path to personal growth started. To end, I want to tell you how I hit the worst bump in the road yet, one that shook me to my very core. The day, April 10th, 2014, I was driving to the studio, and I got a call from my parents. "Are you on the air?" they asked. I immediately knew something was wrong. "What happened?" I said. "It's your sister; she's been in a car accident." It was as if my heart stopped. My hands gripped the steering wheel, and I remember hearing the words: "It is unlikely she will ever walk again." They say your life can change in a split second. Mine did at that moment. My sister went from being my successful other half, only a year apart in age, to not being able to move her legs, sit up, or get dressed by herself. This wasn't like summer camp, where I could magically make it better. This was terrifying. Throughout the course of two years, my sister underwent 15 surgeries, and she spent the most of that time in a wheelchair. But that wasn't even the worst of it. The worst was something so painful, it's hard to put into words, even now. It was the way people looked at her, looked at us, changed. People were unable to see a successful lawyer or a millennial with a sharp wit and a kind heart. Everywhere we went, I realized that people just saw a poor girl in a wheelchair. They were unable to see anything beyond that. After fighting like a warrior, I can thankfully tell you that today my sister is walking, and has recovered beyond anyone's expectations. (Applause) Thank you. But during that traumatic ordeal, I learned there are differences that simply suck, and it's hard to find positive in them. My sister's not better off because of what happened. But she taught me: you can't let those differences define you. Being able to reimagine yourself beyond what other people see, that is the toughest task of all, but it's also the most beautiful. You see, we all come to this world in a body. People with physical or neurological difficulties, environmentally impacted communities, immigrants, boys, girls, boys who want to dress as girls, girls with veils, women who have been sexually assaulted, athletes who bend their knee as a sign of protest, black, white, Asian, Native American, my sister, you, or me. We all want what everyone wants: to dream and to achieve. But sometimes, society tells us, and we tell ourselves, we don't fit the mold. Well, if you look at my story, from being born somewhere different, to belly dancing in high school, to telling stories you wouldn't normally see on TV, what makes me different is what has made me stand out and be successful. I have traveled the world, and talked to people from all walks of life. You know what I've learned? The single thing every one of us has in common is being human. So take a stand to defend your race, the human race. Let's appeal to it. Let's be humanists, before and after everything else. To end, I want you to take that sticker, that piece of paper where you wrote down what makes you different, and I want you to celebrate it today and every day, shout it from the rooftops. I also encourage you to be curious and ask, "What is on other people's pieces of paper?" "What makes them different?" Let's celebrate those imperfections that make us special. I hope that it teaches you that nobody has a claim on the word "normal." We are all different. We are all quirky, and unique, and that is what makes us wonderfully human. Thank you so much. (Applause)

It is very easy to install USB device and requires only OS (Operating System).

2. fridge: Refrigerators provide cooling, which is necessary to keep your food fresh and safe. In the summer season, refrigerators also keep your water and other drinks cool so that you can enjoy drinking them to the best. They also have freezers which let you freeze water into ice, which can be used for many other purposes.

3. ATM: An automated teller machine (ATM) is an electronic banking outlet that allows customers to complete basic transactions without the aid of a branch representative or teller. Anyone with a credit card or debit card can access cash at most ATMs. The biggest advantage of ATM machines is that they allow access to cash at any time.

The light bulb helped to establish social order after sundown, extended the workday well into the night, and allowed us to navigate and travel safely in the dark. Without the light bulb, there would be no nightlife.

23.12_Inventions - Speaking Part

1. Do you enjoy using technological devices?
I really enjoy using technology devices, such as laptops or smartphones. Simply because it is very convenient in my daily life. I often attend classes and do homework on my laptop, and then entertain with my phone like listening to music or watching movies, chatting with friends. Besides, it is also a device that connects me with family or friends when we are apart.
Model: Definitely yes. (Example) I have to say that I am a techie and I love to browse websites in my free time to find information about the latest technological innovations. I am a big fan of them; for example, smart phone, TV or computer. I think my life would suffer a lot of difficulties if I don’t have these technological inventions.
- Definitely /ˈdef.ɪ.nət.li/: without any doubt
- techie /ˈtek.i/: someone who knows a lot about computers or other electronic equipment
- browse /braʊz/: to look through a book or magazine without reading everything, or to walk around a shop looking at several things without intending to buy any of them
2. Describe an invention that changes people’s life
In my opinion, an invention that has changed people's lives is the smartphone. For example, if in the past people had to send letters to be able to chat with people far away, today with just a phone number or an account you can easily do it. Not only that, you can also go shopping with just one phone. If you are an entertainment person, then I must say that the phone is a great choice. If this life didn't have a smartphone, I think it would be quite difficult.
Model: Well, when it comes to invention, I would choose smart phone – which is one of the revolutionary creations of human beings.
(Reason) It is both convenient and cost-effective. (Example) In the past, when there was no smart phone, people could only get in touch with each other through telephone and it took ages to reach one person but now, with only one smart phone, we can use it for various purposes. Not only can we call others but we can also see their face, keep updated with their daily activities or do other kinds of entertainment; for example, listen to music or surf the net. Moreover, there are available applications such as Grab which helps us catch a taxi or motorbike much more easily. With this smart device, there seems to be little barrier in communication among people.
(Reason) In addition, smart phone helps reduce the cost of our call as we have online application such as Viber, Skype or Whatsapp. (Example) We can also do the shopping without going to traditional markets. With just one screen and one touch, we can get whatever we want and have them delivered to our home. People often say that with only one smart phone, they can carry the whole world with them. So you see, it is a wonderful thing to have it in our life!

3. What do you think are the drawbacks of technological inventions?
4. Describe an inventor that you admire the most.
5. Do you want to become an inventor in the future?

Not only can we call others but we can also see their face, keep updated with their daily activities or do other kinds of entertainment; for example, listen to music or surf the net. Moreover, there are available applications such as Grab which helps us catch a taxi or motorbike much more easily. With this smart device, there seems to be little barrier in communication among people.
(Reason) In addition, smart phone helps reduce the cost of our call as we have online application such as Viber, Skype or Whatsapp. (Example) We can also do the shopping without going to traditional markets. With just one screen and one touch, we can get whatever we want and have them delivered to our home. People often say that with only one smart phone, they can carry the whole world with them. So you see, it is a wonderful thing to have it in our life!

3. From my point of view, technological innovations have a lot of benefits, but there are also significant drawbacks. First of all, technological inventions like TVs, or computers and smartphones will make us waste a lot of time on them. Even people gradually become lazy because they are addicted to surfing social networks instead of exercising or doing outdoor activities. Most importantly, there are some studies that show that using a phone or computer for a long time is bad for your eyes and brain. That's why we should use technological inventions appropriately.

(Answer) Well, I have to say yes. (Example) Technological breakthroughs help humans in many ways and our life is much more convenient. However, people now tend to rely a lot on those inventions, which might make us lazier. We will not do household chores on a regular basis as automated robots will take over them. Moreover, smart phones may hinder us from meeting face-to-face with our beloved people. I think that we should use these devices wisely to avoid being its victims.

1. breakthroughs /ˈbreɪk.θruː/: an important discovery or event that helps to improve a situation or provide an answer to a problem

2. automated /ˈɔː.tə.meɪ.tɪd/: carried out by machines or computers without needing human control

4. Oh yes, honestly, I really admire Thomas Edison. He is an American inventor and businessman. He invented a lot of things that changed the world. First of all, the light bulb, you know, it makes the life of humanity like turning a new page. Just imagining walking in the dark every day makes me think it's a great invention. But I don't think that's all, because Edison has 1000 other inventions besides, such as phonograph, sound recording, etc.

His inventions laid the foundation for the development of later times, which is why I consider Edison to be such an admirable person.

Sample:
(Answer) Wow, to be honest, today I would like to describe Thomas Edison - an American and one of the greatest inventors of all time and he is considered one of the men that have changed the world.
(Reason) I mention him for his perseverance through a lot of trial and error and the practicability of his inventions. (Example) He is famous all over the world for being a very prolific inventor, who has more than 1,000 patents for more than 1,000 inventions throughout his life – a very impressive number! It took him many years to invent those things and his inventions range from fluoroscope, phonograph,… but the most outstanding one must be the light bulb, which is the thing that we still use today. After a lot of experiment then failure and other difficulties, he finally invented one of the greatest inventions in humankind history. The advent of the light bulb in 1880 marked a milestone in history when it put an end to darkness and people had a brand new household appliance to light.
(Example) Moreover, the phonograph, or a record player, is also one of his famous inventions. Although now it is only used by a small number of people, it used to be the most popular entertaining application for millions of people around the world. In addition, Thomas Edison is also famous for his quote: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”, which inspires people to work with perseverance and passion then success will come to them.

Well, it's a pity but I'm sure I won't be an inventor in the future. Simply because I have some plans for myself in the future, I am trying to become a great communicator. Besides, I want to open a pet coffee shop and maybe write novels to pass the time. Secondly, I don't have much confidence to invent something because I'm not a patient person. Moreover, I am not careful and get tired easily when concentrating.

Honestly, there are thousands of reasons not to be an inventor. But for me, the job of making money easier is still better.

(Answer) Actually I find myself not creative enough to be an inventor. (Reason) I don’t have a necessary amount of technical know-how and patience to go through a lot of trial and error. (Example) I would like to be a person who can enjoy the inventions rather than the one who can invent them.

- technical know-how: Technical Know-How means all recorded and unrecorded information and knowledge relating to the design, development of production, installation and operation of the Product.

- :trial and error a finding out of the best way to reach a desired result or a correct solution by trying out one or more ways or means and by noting and eliminating errors or causes of failure

PRACTICE 1:

Well, I will talk about my hometown, a beautiful and wonderful city. I live in Hai Phong city, it is a coastal city and is famous for its sea food that makes you unforgettable. There are many things that I like about my hometown, first of all I am really interested in the sea because it always gives a romantic feeling and you can feel relaxed when you watch the sea. Hai Phong is also very famous for the red phoenix flower, a flower symbolizing summer and sunshine. Maybe that's why Hai Phong always has a great vitality in my eyes. But, there can't be one thing that I don't like about this small city, it really has very few amusement parks and supermarkets, which is a difficult problem for me when choosing a place to hang out with friends or family.

Of course, Hai Phong is very important to me. First of all, that's where I was born and raised, you can go anywhere but home will still be the most important place. Besides, Hai Phong is very beautiful and it has people that I love. However, it's a pity to say that I don't think I will stay in Hai Phong for a while, because I need to attend my favorite university in Ho Chi Minh City. But it's okay, I will go back to Hai Phong to work because going away will be very difficult for someone like me. You know, I can't remember the way even in my own city.

SAMPLE:
1. Where are you from?
I was born and raised in a family on the outskirts of Hanoi. The village where I lived has a very tranquil atmosphere.

Oh, I live in the family on the outskirts of Hai Phong city. My parents built a house here about three years ago, it was the biggest dream of their life. We planted a lot of trees around the yard and the house makes me feel comfortable and it's wonderful. My family is not interested in living in the city center, because we love nature and want to escape from the hectic pace of city life. In my point of view, my accommodation is excellent.

15.1.2022

2022-01-15 13:52:39 UTC

Of course, my hometown has many amenities. There is a large swimming pool only about 200 meters from my house. Besides, if you go a little further there will be a convenience store where my family usually buys food for cooking. It's even more exciting that maybe they will build a park nearby.

You can easily see it through beauty contests around the world with Vietnamese contestants. The second is the very famous street food - Pho.

Besides, in my country there are many tourist attractions such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town with many other beautiful historical stories.

1. It’s really lovely today. There were a few showers this morning and it was a bit chilly, but it has brightened up this afternoon and I think it will stay that way for the rest of the day.
2. At the moment we are having a heatwave, so the temperature is really high. I have been avoiding the sun and going out to run errands in the late afternoons.
3. In the city where I grew up, the temperatures are normally low, as it is in the north of England. Even in the summer months, the temperatures reach between 16-24 degrees. It rains a lot and there are many cloudy days.

16.1.2022

2022-01-16 13:26:31 UTC

Well, I'm really interested in cloudy weather. Of course it's because it's not too sunny to make me sunburn, or too cold to make me sick. I can hang out on cloudy days and enjoy it to the fullest.

I prefer warm days at around 24/25 degrees with clear blue skies and the sun. This is good for walking my dog and to enjoy the outdoors without being too uncomfortable.

16.1.2022

2022-01-16 13:40:06 UTC

In my opinion, it depends on the season. For example, if it's summer I don't like sunny weather, because the sun in summer is bad for my skin. In winter, of course, if it rains it will freeze me and make my clothes dirty when I go out.

16.1.2022

2022-01-16 13:54:04 UTC

9. Well, in fact, Vietnam has a tropical climate. Because it is influenced by its location near the sea. That's also why it rains a lot in my country, and it's convenient for farming. Sure, it has certain effects on people's lives. For example, climate determines people's daily food, helps to develop agriculture, and the characteristics of the wind when changing will often make you sick. However, when you live in Vietnam, you will find that the climate here changes very specifically through the four seasons.

11. If you are a newspaper reader or you live in a city in Vietnam, you will know that rainy days greatly affect traffic here. Heavy rain causes flooding on the roads, and it will cause motorbikes to stop working. Similarly, you will not be able to see the road clearly and will crash into the dents under the road. Besides, it is also the reason that accidents happen.

Homes are often decorated with plants and flowers at this time. Peach blossom is traditional at Tet in the North while apricot blossom is traditional in the South. The kumquat tree with its ripe deep orange fruits is popular throughout the country. One of Tet’s most special foods is banh chung, which is made from sticky rice, green beans and fatty pork. Mut, which is candied fruit such as sugared apples, plums or tomatoes, is also popular.

On the days of Tet everyone tries to be nice and polite to each other. People believe that what they do on the first day of the year will influence their luck during the whole year.

2022-01-29 14:09:49 UTC

According to my memory, on New Year's Day last year, because of the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, I couldn't prepare many decorations for the house. My parents only bought one peach blossom tree, but instead, I was able to make banh chung by myself. My whole family went to visit my grandparents in Hai Phong, but I can only meet my distant relatives by facetime because we can't go out of the city. It's funny to say that I only ate banh chung over the two weeks of Tet last year, which makes it impossible for me to eat them again this year. To talk about my favorite activities, that is watching comedy movies with my family and going out with friends. Including getting up late in the morning, of course.

Well, that's amazing when I get to experience the feeling of sitting on a plane to Ho Chi Minh City. It took me an evening to pack for the trip, and that's why the baggage when I arrived at the airport looked huge. I enjoyed buying gifts at the duty free shop. However I was only able to buy them for a short period of time, because my family needed to go to the gate and show our boarding cards. The plane was really bigger than I imagined, our luggage was arranged in the overhead locker. After fastening my seat belt, I was able to enjoy my in-flight meal and take some pictures.

Choosing a means of travel is a difficult problem for some people, but we also see that air travel is a choice of many customers. First, let's talk about the benefits of air travel. You can move from one place to another extremely quickly by plane, which is a great advantage for business people or when you want to save time for travel. Besides, when you travel by plane, you can comfortably rest, listen to music or eat by the really great and convenient services. However, some disadvantages of air travel are unavoidable. The first thing is that the cost of air tickets is much more expensive than other means of transport, and of course not everyone can afford it. The second thing is that its safety is not absolutely guaranteed, there have been some dangerous accidents. After all, traveling by plane is still a good option.

+ The biggest advantage of an electric vehicle is its green credential. Electric cars are 100 percent eco-friendly as they run on electrically powered engines.

- Disadvantages: + Electric cars are limited by range and speed. Most of these cars have a range of about 50-100 miles and need to be recharged again. You just can’t use them for long journeys as of now, although it is expected to improve in the future.

+ While it takes a couple of minutes to fuel your gasoline-powered car, an electric car takes about 4-6 hours and sometimes even a day to get fully charged.

Well, if I had to decide, I wouldn't let my kids get vaccinated. There are many reasons for this. First of all, according to some scientific studies, vaccines can leave some health sequelas such as: heart palpitations, endocrine effects, ..And from my point of view, I can see that there is not much difference in resistance between people who are not vaccinated and those who have been vaccinated. The thing to note here is to increase your resistance with exercise or a nutritious diet. Not to mention, you won't be able to tell if your child is allergic to the vaccine's ingredients. That is my opinion.

Oh, my first experience with the COVID-19 pandemic was really special. This disease was passed from my cousin to my mother and to me. I had never been vaccinated before because I was afraid of allergies, so when I found out that I was positive for COVID-19 I was quite worried. Symptoms appeared such as I felt achy and tired, I had a fever and toothache soon after. Next, I kept coughing and having a sore throat. To avoid the outbreak of the disease, my family stayed at home for two weeks and my uncle bought food and medicine for us. It took me a week to be negative for COVID-19 and another week for the COVID-19 sequelae to disappear completely. To avoid getting a second COVID-19 infection, I always clean everything with disinfectant and protect myself with a mask.

Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina.

Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.

For me, grit is a great treasure. Today's knowledge is gradually becoming more complex to follow the development of society, so if I don't become more persistent I will not be able to understand the lessons and gradually become lazy. One more thing, when I grittier, I will be able to achieve the goals I desire. It can't be denied that today, the talent that comes with grit will always be the top criteria for you to succeed and have a stable job.

Being alone is always a matter of debate, so what's the point here? First of all, let's talk about the benefits of being alone. It can improve your concentration and memory, because no one will disturb you when you are working or need to remember something. Besides, being alone also makes it easier to figure out your problems and change to become the most perfect stereotype of yourself. Ultimately, this will give you time to regulate your emotions. However, being alone also has some disadvantages. Firstly, being alone for too long makes you feel like you are being isolated from society. And it also makes you plagued by communicating with people. So being alone is not bad, but you should also make time to be with other people.

The most common reason people lie is to protect themselves out of fear. There are two different types of lies. The first types of lies are called true falsehoods. These types of lies are always wrong. The only purpose for telling this type of lie is for one's self interest or self-protection. The second type of lie is considered a verbal falsehood. These are lies that are suitable to tell against enemies, to prevent something bad from happening to one’s self or a friend, and to make up a story for a point. But when you lie, people will not only lose their trust in you after they have figured out the truth, but they will lose their respect for you. Nobody wants to be friends with a liar, associate themselves with a liar, or marry a liar. Therefore, for any of the above mentioned cases, except when protecting an innocent from harms, being honest is always the better option.

I have heard stories about doctors who often lie. I thought it would be the wrong examination, or the wrong prescription or some doctors deliberately lying about the disease to get more money. But I was wrong. The story talk about a patient with cancer, and the doctor told a white lie that the patient would get well. And the miracle is that the lie became an encouragement to make the patient become happier, and then they recovered like in a fairy tale. Then I realized that sometimes lying isn't necessarily a bad thing.

https://www.stormdamagecenter.org/common-storm-types/

1. Hail Storms

Common types of damage caused by hail are: roof damage, siding damage, shingle damage, window damage and automobile damage.

2. Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms can produce many types of damaging weather such as lightning, hail, tornadoes, straight-line winds, flooding and more.

3. Ice Storms

Ice storms produce freezing rain that coats everything in its path with a layer of glaze ice. This type of accumulation can cause broken tree branches, power outages and other hazardous conditions.

4. Tornadoes

Most tornado damage is done by high winds, with recorded speeds exceeding 300 MPH and the flying debris propelled by these fierce winds.

5. Floods

Floods are typically the result of heavy rain and water that rises faster than storm drains can handle. Flash floods driven by quick, violent bursts of rain can flood homes, basements and businesses, causing serious damage to both interiors and exteriors.

My fondest memory of storms in the city is from middle school. I had physical education that day, and we had to wear sneakers. But, because it was raining, the school yard was flooded. I was quite shocked, then because I took off my shoes to go to class, I fell hard. Of course, the clothes was dirty too. The water was up to my knees, so I had to roll up my pants to walk. The most fun thing when it rains is that the weather is very cool, and children often like to play in the water. I seem to have forgotten I just fell before.

huonggiang2311spnn — 2022-05-21 02:12:59 UTC

What is the weather like where you live?

1. Well, I'm currently living in the North of Vietnam, which is a tropical country. Therefore, when it comes to the weather here, it's also very diverse. It has four seasons, for the most part, it’s kinda scorching hot and humid year-round. In the summer, there are days when the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. But when winter comes, the surrounding air becomes frigid but now it's a little more bearable. Some articles suggest that this is the effect of global warming.

2. Does the weather ever affect what you do?
2. I think the weather is always something that strongly influences your life and mood. I mean, when the weather is unfavorable like when it rains heavily for too long or it’s too sunny, I tend to procrastinate my plan and reluctant to go out. On the other hand, when I step outside on a nice cool day, I'm sure that today will be a great day to do many other things.

3. What is your favorite season?
3. Honestly, I'm actually not fond of any particular kind of weather. But if I could only pick one season, I gotta say it's definitely winter. Summer in the north is scorching hot and it's hard to deal with the heat without an air conditioner. On the contrary, although many people do not like winter because the weather was frigid. But for me, I see it as a perfect occasion for me to bundle up and show off my clothes.

What’s the weather like in your country?

Well, as you could probably tell, I’m currently residing in Vietnam, which is a tropical country. When it comes to the weather here, for the most part, it’s kinda scorching hot and humid year-round. I mean, there have been reports about the heatwaves of over 40 degrees celsius in Hanoi in the recent years during summer. In winter, it used to be frigid but now it’s a bit more pleasant and bearable. And I guess it’s due to global warming.

Does the weather affect what you do?

Absolutely. I mean, when the weather is unfavourable like when it’s too sunny, I tend to procrastinate my plan until late afternoon. 5 or 6 pm, because that’s when the temperature lowers a little bit. On the other hand, when it rains heavily for too long, I’m kinda reluctant to drive so I think I would just get a Grab to get around.

What is your favorite season?

Well, I gotta say it’s definitely autumn. I mean Hanoi possesses 4 distinct seasons in a year. In summery months, it’s usually sweltering and stuffy and I’m sure you cannot make it through the summer without an air conditioner. Winter is too cold and it rains a lot in spring. So hands-down, autumn is my go-to season.

22.5_ WEATHER SPEAKING PART 2

huonggiang2311spnn — 2022-05-22 11:28:07 UTC

1. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF WEATHER YOU REALLY DON’T LIKE?

There's no doubt that the kind of weather I hate the most is rain. I mean, when it's drizzling or it's downpours, the surrounding air becomes humid. When I step out into the street on a rainy day, I will hardly see the road clearly or even fall because of its slipperiness. One more thing, you know, it's raining so my clothes get wet and I can even catch a cold the next day if I don't wear a raincoat.

2. DOES BAD WEATHER EVER AFFECT TRANSPORT IN YOUR COUNTRY?

Of course, bad weather can cause traffic chaos in my country. Let me take an example, on stormy days, it is common for rainwater to flood up to the knees or stomachs of passersby. There are vehicles that break down because of the rainwater coming in, and that creates traffic congestion. Worse, when it rains heavily, it is difficult for them to drive normally and lead to unfortunate accidents. Similar to scorching hot days, drivers just want to rush home quickly and no one gives way to others. One bad outcome over and over again is traffic jams and accidents.

3. Do you do different things in different weather?

Well, the fact that this world is made with all kinds of different weather is an opportunity for people to do different things. For me, I usually stay at home and draw when it rains, listening to some songs is also an ideal thing for wet days because I am afraid to go out. On the contrary, when it's sunny or shady, I'll go have coffee with friends or go to the movies and then take pictures. There's a lot to do, but I think it's going to be the right things for that day's weather.

4. Would you prefer to live in a place that has the same weather all year, or a place that has four seasons?

Of course, I'd rather be in a place with all four seasons. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like my life will become more diverse. Like I can wear different kinds of clothes in four different seasons, or do many interesting things in four seasons like hiking or skiing.

5. Do you think the weather is more important to people who play sports?

I completely agree with this. You know, it's like you can't climb mountains on rainy days because it's really dangerous for the road. As another example, when I watch football matches on TV, I find that it is often harder for players to control their ball on snowy or drizzly days. Just like going out, the weather completely affects playing sports. In addition, playing sports on bad weather days can make you sick soon after.

6. Do people change in the summer?

I don't know what to say when it reminds me of myself. Summer is always a time filled with unpleasant weather. I usually can't make it through the summer without an air conditioner or fan, that's why people often get frustrated in the summer because of the harsh weather. Summer often brings crowded vacation trips and what changes in people after the trip is that their skin becomes darker than before. After all, each season of the year brings certain changes.

huonggiang2311spnn — 2022-06-13 13:21:24 UTC

1. What is your favorite color?
Honestly, there are so many colors that I love. For example, I like blue because it gives a very pleasant feeling when you look at them. Besides, the basic colors are also a good choice for me. That's why I often joke with my friends that my favorite color is rainbow.

2. Do you like dark colors?
Just a little. You know, they often say that favorite color shows off a person's personality. That's why I prefer bright colors over dark ones. Because I'm a person who likes things that are vibrant and free, and dark colors give a mature and gentle feeling, I think. But it depends on the situation, for example sometimes choosing dark clothes will make me look smaller and slimmer.

3. Do you usually wear clothes in your favorite color?
Sometime. Actually, it's because when I choose clothes based on my favorite colors, it makes easier for me to decide what to buy or wear. But usually, I will choose all the clothes that I think are beautiful and suitable for me. Because if the clothes are only encapsulated in a few colors, it's really nothing special.

4. Are there any colors you dislike?
This is going to be a tough question for me, because honestly, I don't hate any color that much. But usually the colors that bother me appear for some reason. Maybe it's because they're too blinding, or it makes my clothes look old and sometimes it brings back some unpleasant memories for me. But after all, I love all kinds of colors.

15.6_COLORS (cont)

huonggiang2311spnn — 2022-06-15 13:28:59 UTC

1. Describe a place you remember well that full of colours

Oh well, I definitely have to mention this place, it's my classroom. You know, even though it's summer break right now, the first thing that pops into my mind is the bright colors in the classroom. We usually have a period of time at the beginning of the year to decorate the classroom with all kinds of colored paper, and every festival or something like that is each time different decorations are put up. That's why when I walk into my classroom, I'm often overwhelmed by the green of the iridescent wall paper or the red of the lanterns and flowers, sometimes the miniature planets we stick paper throughout the classroom. I remember them all and well, they were really beautiful.

Model Answer:
I remember during my childhood that family loved going for scenic drives in the countryside. On weekends we were usually all free and ready to do something nice together. We’d all hop in the car and drive around on quiet windy roads and stare out at the picturesque landscape. The best time to do that was usually in mid-Autumn towards the end of October. I grew up in a place that has a pretty temperate climate and during that time the leaves changed to become magnificent colours. The forests not too far away from my home were especially colourful due to them being full of red maple trees.
They really deserved that name because the leaves on those trees at that time had such a rich mixture of colours, including bright gold and intense reds and yellows. Most of the time was filled with just driving around and staring out of the car window. However, we sometimes stopped and did other things. One thing was hiking around on clearly marked forest trails in the wilderness. I really enjoy the outdoors and all of its splendours. Oh I can’t forget to say this. The best bit that I remember doing, when I was pretty small, was jumping in the crunchy leaves and breathing in the invigorating fresh air. Of course, it was a bit cooler then, so we had to dress in layers.
The small towns that we also passed through were also very charming and had good places to occasionally stop in. I remember once we stopped at a bakery and bought some home made food to have a picnic outside. There is nothing like eating freshly made pumpkin pie while being surrounded by the dazzling display of colours. I guess you can say that I am very fortunate to see a lot of the beauty that nature offers. There was about a month long of quality autumn leave viewing near my old hometown. I really loved seeing the spectacular hues during that season. Thank you. That’s all I have to say.

2. Is color important for clothing?

Of course, color has always been a key in fashion including clothing. For example, when you design an outfit, apart from the style, the color will be what makes it something that attracts the buyer or the wearer. And when we go to choose a suit or anything related to fashion, color seems to be the first step to decide. The color not only shows the personality of the person wearing that outfit, but sometimes also helps their figure to be more beautiful or makes the skin fresher. That is the power of color in fashion.

3. Should course books be colourful?

It would be a great idea if we know how to adjust accordingly. You know, the amount of knowledge that students need to absorb today is really a lot. So sometimes a book with different colors can help them not feel bored every time they look at it. But it can happen in some unexpected cases, for example, young students are often attracted to colorful things and they forget the lesson or have to listen to the lecture. But this can be overcome depending on the teaching of the teacher, so I think that making the book colorful is a good choice.

4. You know, when people decorate their home, it's usually the colors they love. So each house will usually have a different color, but most of them are composed of white. There are a few simple reasons to explain this, white always gives your home an elegant and clean feeling. Not only that, it's also a color that can be paired with any other color when you want to combine multiple colors together. Besides white, there are also some other basic colors that we can see in houses on the street, such as blue, yellow and red of tiled roofs.

5. From my point of view it is possible. In fact, color always holds a very important role in human life. And perhaps that's why it has certain effects on us, both physically and mentally. For example, scientists have discovered that the color blue has a positive effect on a person's physical, mental and behavioral health and is used to treat depression. Or in another case, using too much red will lead to less positive thoughts, according to some studies. No need to be meticulous, as soon as you look at the color of a person's clothes, they can get your sympathy better if they use gentle, elegant colors, and this is the effect on mood.

6. Oh, this would be a pretty broad question to answer. I would say that color plays an important role in shopping, and this depends on the trends going on in society. For example, this year will be a playground for blue lovers as it will be a hot summer and all need something to soothe their eyes. But also, for the furniture in the house, colors that match the main color of the wall paint are essential, I will suggest some colors that are suitable for many forms such as brown of wood and cream color. Another equally important problem is that colors that are too bright are often not a priority when people go shopping.

7. Of course, you know, like products, advertisements need to stand out in order to attract customers. And before people can tell what the advertisement is about, color is the first thing they see. It's like before they're ready to get to know you, the first thing they'll notice is the clothes you're wearing. Color makes advertising more vivid, thereby helping to promote the product more successfully.

8. Not a bad idea, I think any book needs pictures. It is not only a decoration to help children's reading not be boring or sleepy, but sometimes it is also a method for teachers to easily convey knowledge through example images in the book. But besides that, this needs to be limited to an appropriate extent, if a book has too many pictures it will cause the lesson to be forgotten.

1. Every day, I usually wake up late because it's summer vacation, around eight to nine in the morning. Then I have breakfast with the whole family, the food can be noodles or bread. I have a free time to do what I like in the morning, I always choose to read stories or listen to music or watch TV. My mother and I used to walk together to exercise in the afternoon, because we needed to wait for my father to get home from work to start dinner. I used to go to bed very late, but lately my mom has advised me to correct that, so I go to bed around eleven o'clock. A day in the summer vacation is not so special, so I think I will travel or go out someday soon.

Every room in the house has its own benefits, but if I had to choose one that I love the most, it would be the bedroom. There are several reasons to explain this. Almost every family will install an air conditioner in the bedroom, because this is where they need to find comfort when resting. That's why I like to sit in my bedroom in the summer because it's cooler than all the other rooms. Besides, the bedroom is also a multi-use place for all my activities. For example, reading books, working on computers or studying online, this is really convenient. That's why the bedroom is always my number one choice.

curtains, sofa, table, bookshelf, cooker, oil-free fryer, electric stove, pillow, bed, cloth hook, wardrobe,...

Exp: Curtain is a piece of material, especially cloth, that hangs across a window or opening to make a room or part of a room dark or private.

Because I have a passion for collecting comic books, a bookshelf is an indispensable item. It is made from wood and hangs in the home office, in addition it is also used as a decoration on the wall.

Another option for you, here's what you need to know about private accommodation. It will usually take about 25 minutes to take the bus from here to the lecture hall, sometimes longer due to unforeseen circumstances.

The Wi-Fi here is very fast, I am happy about that because when I am in my bedroom I can speak to my parents online, I can also play online games. Do you have Wi-Fi in your room? Is the food nice where you live?

Write soon,

Hi Giorgio,

Thank you for replying to my mail. Well, I'm living in campus accommodation. It's great that this place also has Wi-fi, but it sometimes slows down at busy times. I was provided with food while I was here, and the chefs made really delicious dishes. But since it's a dormitory, we have a shared bathroom on each floor. I live on the third floor, and I had to prepare pillows and blankets when I moved in. How about you? Does the place have a private bathroom? Do you have to prepare your own food?

Write soon,

For me, shopping is quite fun. Because you know, I can go slowly all day without having to worry about anything, and then bring back a bunch of stuff that I like like clothes, accessories, etc.

On the contrary, I am quite afraid of canoeing. You know, I'm pretty prone to seasickness or motion sickness, so this wasn't a perfect choice for me.

Well, if I had to choose one boring activity, I think it would be reading. Easier to understand, the reason is because I have read dozens of books in class, so just thinking about it makes me want to go to sleep.

1. Well, as soon as I looked at Aimee Fuller's picture, I guessed that she was someone related to skateboarding. And maybe she's an athlete.

2. She became successful in snowboarding. She did very well in the national competitions.

3. I think the reason for this article is simply to introduce people to a new sports star and knowledge of snowboarding. Sometimes it also inspires those who are intending to learn as well.

1. Badminton is a racket sport played between 2 players or 2 pairs of players on 2 halves of a rectangular court divided by a net in the middle. Players score points by sending the ball over the net with a racket and hitting the ground on the other side of the opponent's court. Each side has only 1 touch to bring the ball to the other side.

2. Table tennis is a sport in which two or four players participate in hitting a light ball (ping-pong ball) back and forth on a table with a small racket. The game takes place on a hard table surface divided in half by a grid. Table tennis has the following general rules of play: the player must let the ball facing himself bounce exactly once on his side of the table, and return the ball to the opponent, so that it bounces at least once on their table.

3. Football is a team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams consisting of 11 players on each side. It plays on a rectangular field called a football field with a goal at each end. The goal is to score in the opponent's goal. The team with the most goals wins.

4. Flying kite is a folk game that has existed for a long time. Kites are made of paper or light fabric, attached to a rope and released by the player into the sky. The kite will use the air currents to rise and remain in the sky.

5. Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, usually five players, face off against each other on a rectangular field, competing for the main goal of throwing a ball over the hoop of a basket mounted on a sign at each end of the field while preventing the opposing team from doing the same to their side's basket. A close shot within the specified range is worth two points, while a shot taken from behind the three-point line is worth three points.

6. Yoga is an ancient practice that involves physical postures, concentration and deep breathing. The overall philosophy of yoga is to connect mind, body and spirit. A regular yoga session can help increase endurance, strength, calmness, flexibility, and happiness.

7. Chess is a board game for two. During the game, two players take turns moving one of their pieces to another position on the board. The player's goal is to try to hit the opponent's king. When a player is shown all the way, the game is over or in other words that player has lost. There are also some cases where the game can end in a draw.

In the two pictures, they are both doing sports in the park. We can see in both pictures there are yoga groups, couples walking, people jogging and one person doing gymnastics by doing push-ups. However, in the first picture we also see the appearance of a cyclist, who is taking his pet for a walk. As for the second picture, there are boys playing football, people jumping rope.

1. Oh, it's my summer vacation right now, so it's easier to talk about this. I have a bunch of to-do lists in my free time, but usually I'll just break it down. I am addicted to lying under the cool air conditioner in my room, then watching online news on my phone and then playing games. I also sometimes go out on the street in the afternoon with my family. Other times I play with my pet or read a book if I like.

2. Although I'm pretty bad at sports, I learned basketball in school and I like it more than other sports like soccer or volleyball. Actually the reason is quite simple, I just found that basketball can make me look taller and cooler. But on the contrary, when choosing sports programs on TV, I usually choose to watch football or volleyball. Because I also watch with my family and people usually love to watch the football matches of the country, you know.

3. There is a very funny story that my mother often asks me to go out more because it is better for health, so I think this is a relatively important thing. You will have more outdoor activities like soccer, jumping rope or jogging. In addition, the outside air will help you circulate blood to the brain and body, it even helps your spirit to be more refreshed when breathing the outdoor air.

Actually, ever since I started growing up, I've been really lazy to travel far. But, I had a great trip to Hanoi when I was in seventh grade. At that time, my whole family went to the capital to prepare for my sister's admission to university. I experienced the feeling of traveling by train for the first time. The food in Hanoi is really delicious, I love eating ice cream on the pedestrian street. The thing that reminds me of this trip is that we encountered rain just as we were about to leave, and it made me eat an ice cream in a minute and get wet all over. It's really funny that my family even missed the last train and had to go back by taxi, it was a torture for car sick like me and my sister. But anyway, it was still the outing that I enjoyed the most.

1. China

A good beef chow mein combines classic pungent flavours from the Chinese cuisine, such as garlic, ginger and oyster sauce, along with fresh vegetables. In essence, beef chow mein is a type of stir-fry. In fact, “chow mein” in Chinese translates into “stir-fried” and “noodles”, respectively. This beef chow mein is very similar to a Chinese mixed vegetable stir-fry. However, unlike the former, the latter doesn’t include noodles.

2. Saudi Arabia

Al Kabsa or sometimes called Khabsa is a traditional rice dish from Saudi Arabia. This recipe is made with chicken but it can be made with other meats like lamb as well. The rice is beautifully spiced and the tender chicken literally falls off the bone.

3. Italy

Pizza is a dish of Italian origin consisting of a usually round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and often various other ingredients (such as various types of sausage, anchovies, mushrooms, onions, olives, vegetables, meat, ham, etc.), which is then baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven.

4. United Kingdom

Fish and chips is a popular hot dish consisting of fried fish in crispy batter, served with chips. The dish originated in England, where these two components had been introduced from separate immigrant cultures; it is not known who created the culinary fusion that became the emblematic British meal.

5. Brazil

Moqueca is a seafood stew with a base of palm oil and coconut milk or olive oil, combined with fish or shrimps (or both). The dish is stewed in traditional clay pots along with vegetables and fresh herbs, and it is traditionally served over rice. It can be traced back to 300 years ago, when it was first invented due to the fact that the Portuguese brought coconuts to the country, and slaves from Africa introduced palm oil to Brazilian cuisine.

1. I had the opportunity to eat pizza. My classmates all love to eat it, so it often appears at our parties. But I can't eat much because it really has a lot of food in it like shrimp or seafood. Anyway, it's really a delicious dish.

2. Vietnam has so many delicious dishes and I haven't even tasted them all. But, lately, I like to eat bloating fern-shaped cake the most. The cake has a greasy taste and the inside is filled with meat with wood ear. My favorite is to sit on the sidewalk in the city and enjoy this dish, it's better when eaten warm.

3. Oh, it goes without saying that it's Pho. You know, it often appears in foreign food programs when it comes to Vietnam. And it really is a great dish, consisting of soft noodles and a rich, flavorful broth. In addition, the beef used in pho is also very good, you can easily find many pho restaurants throughout the city.

1. Mix together the ingredients for the dough. Stir together the alkaline water, golden syrup, and vegetable oil, and sift in the flour more slowly. When mixed together, these ingredients should form a dough. Cover the dough with saran wrap and set it aside for at least 3 hours.

2. Prepare the salted egg yolks. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Put the yolks in a pan and steam them for about 10 minutes on a low to medium heat. Salt the yolks. Set them aside to cool down. Make sure that they have cooled off before you proceed in making the mooncakes. Cut each egg in half.

Once they have dried, you should put them in a bowl and mix them with the cooking wine. Take them out and let them dry. You can also dry them with a paper towel.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). While the oven is preheating, separate the lotus or red bean paste into equal parts. Roll each of these into a ball.

4. Assemble your mooncake. Each mooncake consists of a ball of dough, one ball of lotus or red bean paste, and one half of a salted egg yolk. Make a hole in a ball of lotus or bean paste, and put the egg yolk inside. Make the lotus or red bean paste into a ball that covers the egg yolk entirely.

5. Spray your mooncake mold with nonstick spray. Press each mooncake lightly into the mold. Take the mooncake out of the mold, and put it onto a baking sheet. Put all mooncakes into the oven, and wait 10-12 minutes.

While the mooncakes are baking, make the egg wash. Mix together the egg whites and the egg yolk, and then sift them through a sieve.
Take the mooncakes out of the oven after about 5 minutes and brush them with the egg wash. Put them back in the oven until they become golden brown.

1. Mix the flour, salt, and water in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together until you make a nice, smooth dough. Use a wooden spoon to stir the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated.

2. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This can help the ingredients settle together. As you wait for the dough to rest, you can cover the bowl with cling wrap.

3. Place the dough on a flat surface. A cutting board will work here. Then, cut the dough into equal pieces for the dumplings.

4. Make each circular wrapper. Simply use your hand to pick up each piece of dough and pound it into the board to make a small circular disc. Then, use a rolling pin to smooth out each disc until it's about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. You can add some flour to the rolling pin to keep the wrappers from sticking.

5. Scoop the filling onto each wrapper. Just use a spoon to scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of every wrapper.

6. Fold the sides of the wrapper together. You should wet the edge of each wrapper with a damp finger and then fold the sides together, crimping (pressing together) the dough with your fingers to seal the contents inside.

7. Fry the dumplings for 2-3 minutes until their bottoms are light brown.

1. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge in Sydney, spanning Sydney Harbour from the central business district (CBD) to the North Shore. Nicknamed "The Coathanger" because of its arch-based design, the bridge carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Under the direction of John Bradfield of the New South Wales Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough, and opened in 1932.

2. The National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest , is an 80,000-capacity stadium in Beijing. The stadium was jointly designed by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron from Basel-based architecture team Herzog & de Meuron, project architect Stefan Marbach, artist Ai Weiwei, and CADG, which was led by chief architect Li Xinggang. The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. It was used again in the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

3. The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. After its dedication, the statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea.

4. Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. Ludwig chose to pay for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds. Construction began in 1869, but was never fully completed.

5. The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply, the Tower of Pisa is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of Pisa Cathedral. It is known for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable foundation. The tower is one of three structures in the Pisa's Cathedral Square, which includes the cathedral and Pisa Baptistry. The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight. It worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

1. Just like every other day, I sat on the motorbike and roamed around the city. First, I rode on my mother's motorbike to go to school, then my friend's motorbike because we went to drawing class together.

2. In fact, each person's choice of means of travel depends on where they want to go. But I think the most popular one is the motorbike. Because this is not only a reasonably priced vehicle, it also provides a cool or comfortable feeling when traveling.

3. Well, of course, but it's only like that in certain parts of the city. In the suburbs, it is not crowded, so there is usually no congestion. But this is in contrast to inner-city areas, where not only are traffic jams easy at rush hours, there are also collisions because there are many trucks.

4. I live in a rural area, so the roads are not too dangerous. So I think cycling would be a better option. Because not only it save you commuting time, but it can also become a sport without causing you too much pain in your feet.

5. From my point of view, motorbikes are still the best option. Every family must have at least one motorbike, so you can easily move around with it. The second reason, because it's smaller than a car, you can more easily avoid congestion. Moreover, if you go by motorbike, you can enjoy the breeze, or stop anywhere without having to worry about finding a parking space. In the end, it's faster than traveling by bicycle or on foot.

1. Oh, I live in the family on the outskirts of Hai Phong city. My parents built a house here about three years ago, it was the biggest dream of their life. My family is not interested in living in the city center, because we love nature and want to escape from the hectic pace of city life.

2. In the center of the town where I live, there is a new flower garden established a few months ago. My family often spends a few hours walking there in the evening. It has a very large lake that makes the air there really airy. There are some dance teams of housewives there, that's what makes me feel most excited when walking in this place.

3. I'm not too sure about the historical time of the landmarks, but I think it's the Opera House. It is located in the city center and is very prominent to be seen. It's been there since my mom was a kid, and it still looks great to this day.

4. That's for sure, Hai Phong has always been one of the big cities. This town is famous for delicious dishes such as crab noodles or street bread. You can easily see videos about food tours in Hai Phong on social networks. I feel happy for this.

5. Although this is a previously unsuccessful project in town, I still want it to have a pedestrian street like the capital. This not only attracts tourists but also gives people more places to relax in the evenings.

Although it's not my favorite activity, I'm pretty good at writing. I have been able to write quite a few stories since I was little, but if you let me sit and write for hours in class, I can't. It really makes me sleepy.

Contrary to that, I'm pretty bad at learning math easily. I can't remember formulas or theories too long, so I can forget it after a few days of studying. This troubled me greatly.

Question 1: Do you prefer working alone or with others? Why?

In the age of technology development or from the old days, teamwork is always an effective option. But the funny thing is that I don't really like working in groups. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, teamwork sometimes distracts me and makes the product I make is not very effective. The second thing is partly due to my personality being quite perfectionist, so when working individually it makes it easier for me to adjust to my desires. However, after all, I'm getting better at teamwork with everyone.

Question 2: Which jobs would you say are most respected in your country?

From my point of view, it's probably teachers and doctors. The teachers will be the ones who teach and impart to nurture the country's talents. They are educated, moral people who can teach people. As for doctors, they are the ones who hold the lives of the world in their hands. They have always played an important role in repelling diseases or curing other common diseases. That is why these are two jobs that are always appreciated in society.

Question 3: Many children are encouraged by their parents to get a part time job in their free time. What are the advantages and disadvantages to children of doing so?

Because I find it relatively interesting and it also helps me to have a personal source of income. However, I should do it when I reach adulthood. In addition, I also have a desire to become a designer in the future. Therefore, designing freelance products during the summer time is also a good choice.

In the photos, they are working out in the gym. This has quite a few health benefits. It's extremely good for bones and muscles, and it's also a great way to lose body fat. There are some studies that even suggest that exercising can make your mind better. Of course, you need to exercise in moderation and in accordance with your own health.

Because of my studies, I usually don't go to the gym. I choose to walk on the weekends or ride a bike to exercise. Sometimes, I also play skipping rope. What I do most often to keep myself in good health is to go to bed early and eat well. Because these will be the most basic things you need to do before diving into difficult exercises passively.

Besides, I love sitting in my room listening to music and drawing things that I've encountered these past few days. This is a real healer for me when I have stress issues. Oh, and of course, everyone should have a movie weekend.

Yoga is known for its simple understanding as a type of exercise that helps improve the flexibility of the body. However, Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi thinks yoga is more than that. He stated that yoga not only trains health but also connects people with each other and with nature. So, where does yoga come from? The history of yoga goes back at least 5,000 years, and some say it's closer to 10,000
many years ago. It was first developed in Northern India, and by the 1960s yoga had become a very popular form. Yoga is also known for its benefits to humans. The first is to practice flexibility and balance, this is also a method to protect a healthy heart and reduce back pain. In addition, breathing lessons in yoga can help us relieve anxiety and get better sleep. There are many different types of yoga, such as: Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Bikram Yoga,...Whatever kind of yoga you choose, there are definitely some health benefits, so you can choose what suits you best.

Most exercises like gym, swimming, aerobics will usually help you burn calories and bring flexibility to both body and mind. Yoga also brings flexibility to the body. However, the special feature of this discipline is that it can help people control the mind and body functions such as excretion and digestion. Therefore, there will be certain differences between these two sports. First of all, the cost of practicing yoga is not too high because you do not need to prepare many tools. At the beginning, you just need to buy yourself a yoga suit and a yoga mat. In addition, you can practice anywhere, at home or at clubs. Gym training requires you to go to the gym because this subject mainly works with machines. Therefore, you will have to pay a fee for this problem. Besides, yoga is a subject for everyone, from children to adults. While the gym is not suitable for the elderly and people with health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. If you enjoy the feeling of peace and relaxation, you should choose yoga. Meanwhile, if you want to have a beautiful body, want to have muscles to develop, gym will be a better choice.

Nowadays, with the combination of internet and paper books, learning English has become more diverse as well as more interesting. For me, I often listen to foreign songs to practice my listening ability as well as help me relax my mind more. You can also apply this method with reading books or newspapers in English to practice reading ability. And finally speaking practice, I really appreciate that we practice speaking with native speakers. Because this will make it easier to remember mistakes and give you the opportunity to expand your vocabulary, it's better than just practicing speaking in theory.

4. You know, because we're in the same class, there's really a lot to talk about. However, for my group of close friends, because we get to know each other through the games we play together. So this will probably be a topic often encountered in our messages. That's pretty funny.

5. Actually, this method for me is a bit boring, because I often fall asleep when reading the newspaper. But I think it is really effective in learning languages, because it will contain a lot of vocabulary and its topics are really diverse for us to study.

Further on, I'm gonna think about making money and building a house for myself before I have a husband. Of course, but for now, I need to do well for the upcoming final exam. I'm about to cry over it.

English was chosen as a subject perhaps because it is widely spoken around the world. In Vietnam, as soon as you enter first grade, you will learn English as your first foreign language. That's why I'm still learning English until now. With such a long period of time, I was able to communicate simply in English with some sentences or a relative amount of vocabulary and went through English exams every year. The interesting thing is that I was even selected to participate in English competitions in the city, but it seems that the summer holidays have brought all the knowledge away. But anyway, English is still an interesting subject because you can see that the alphabet between them and Vietnamese has many similarities. I have been studying English for 11 years, and I think it needs to continue until later, even after I have worked. Because you know, I think learning a foreign language isn't just about getting certificates, it's really beneficial to our lives.

I had a lot of opportunities to use my English, but most of it was shown in the classroom through presentations. So, to remind me of the first time I used English properly, it was when I was around 3rd grade. At that time, I often went to the supermarket with my mother on weekends, and this is also the place where You can easily meet guests from many different countries. In my memory, the situation occurs when a foreigner needs to find something he wants to buy. So I used English in a funny way to show him where he needed to go. Although it was a bit difficult for me to speak fluently at that time, the conversation seemed productive. It impressed me more than any other presentation in English, because it was my first time speaking English without any preparation. But I think this will be one of the great methods to help me become more confident in communicating in a foreign language.

1. Of course, especially in recent years it is extremely important to learn new languages. You can easily realize the change of the world when starting the international integration. With our country alone, new languages have been gradually introduced into the curriculum from all levels. So, unless you are a generation class many years ago, learning only Vietnamese is extremely disadvantageous. I'm not talking about qualifications, but as soon as you go out into the working environment, owning yourself another foreign language will make you a lot more confident. And companies today also tend to give preference to employees who know foreign languages, or even universities. So I think it's not necessary to know too much, but always learn new things including the language.

2. In my opinion, this is impossible. Language is like a miniature individual, it can be very diverse but can never be fully grasped. Even if we are learning Vietnamese, a mother tongue that you have been learning since birth, you cannot claim to have completely learned Vietnamese perfectly. I think this is another aspect that shows how interesting the language is. That is, you can try very hard to become a good language learner, but you will continue to learn throughout your life to become even better. And that's why languages are so diverse, it's perfect if you always learn languages with all your heart.

With my guess, perhaps children will be the ones who have the upper hand in language learning. There are several reasons for this speculation. First of all, there is some research that has shown that the brains of children especially infants can process any language they hear from their caregivers. The second thing is that children are not afraid or shy. They can freely interact and play with others without any language barrier. As for adults, most choose to retreat and defend. Because adults are often afraid of saying the wrong thing, afraid of being judged by others. And ultimately, it's because children have more time to devote to language learning, which results in them being able to learn slowly and comfortably. Meanwhile, adults, who are now busy with work, will reduce their efficiency in absorbing and remembering new things.

6.11.2022

2022-11-06 02:58:37 UTC

Have you ever wondered why the world is constantly learning new languages? I think this will also be an answer for this. If knowing languages other than one's mother tongue is a priority in university admissions, it is the same for some companies today. This will be the first benefit you get for your career in language learning. It will absolutely expand our choice of professions, because except for jobs that need foreign languages as a supplement, you can also use them for jobs like translators or interpreters. On the other hand, as soon as you are accepted into the company, owning yourself a foreign language will also increase your chances of success while working. For example, when communicating with foreign partners, or needing to sign documents using other languages. Imagine a scenario where you don't know a foreign language and have to reach for your phone to translate, how embarrassing. I don't think a foreign language is a must to become successful in career, but it will make the ladder to success easier.

There have been many similar questions raised in research around the world, and I found a few reasons below that may explain this. First of all, I will talk about interests and goals, these are two essential things that you need to have when doing any job, similar to language learning. The fact that you love the language and put your heart into learning will make remembering the knowledge faster and longer. Besides, the goal will also be what motivates you to learn the language quickly so that you can reach what you want. For example, between a person who needs to learn a foreign language to study abroad or get a certificate, compared to someone who just needs to learn to know, you will notice the difference in the learning speed of the two subjects. Secondly, I think it has to do with biological knowledge of the structure of the brain, which is why some people may be better at remembering or absorbing new knowledge. Finally, I think it's related to these learning methods. Choosing the right learning methods for you is extremely important, because there will be people who are suitable for books, but some people are better if using the language in a practical way through communication.

You know, it's pretty hard for a girl to escape the temptation of romantic movies. That's why I used to learn Korean and wished that one day I could find someone as amazing as in the movie. But it didn't work as I thought. First, I remember when my mother and I went to the supermarket together and I came across a book that teaches basic conversational Korean. I burst out crying and begged my mother to buy it for me. Of course I was really excited at that time and I read about five pages of it. But to be honest it was too sleepy, but I didn't give up there. After learning to count a few numbers in Korean, I switched to learning to write. Because I'm used to English or Vietnamese, it's really difficult to learn a pictographic language. But after all, what made me give up learning Korean after all these years was because I didn't have enough money to study abroad. That's why until now, my understanding of Korean is probably just a few common sayings in movies.

From my point of view, I think these two types of dictionaries have their own advantages and disadvantages. First of all, as for the paper dictionary, I think that over the past decades it has been really attached to the language learning of many people. It is really useful for learning vocabulary or studying different words in class. However, the disadvantage of the paper dictionary and also the strength of the online dictionary is that it is a bit difficult to find the word you want right away. Instead, using a dictionary on the internet can help you look up anything in a split second. However, using online dictionaries can also be detrimental to those unfamiliar with the use of electronic devices. Sometimes, it can also be easy to get distracted while searching because you have to deal with other pleasures on social media. However, I still prefer to use the online dictionary because it is really convenient when you just need to type and press search.

Learning a language is a great benefit for our lives. If you can learn language like English, you can communicate with many people from all over the world. Most students though study in their own country and have to learn with people who have the same mother tongue as they do. I would like to discuss about the advantages and disadvantages of this.

Firstly, students are good at English can help the others to understand if they do not get the lessons. Secondly, students in class can help each other to improve their English skills especially speaking skills and then they will make progress rapidly.

On the contrary, this maybe a disadvantage if your teachers are not native speakers because they cannot correct your bad pronunciation. Also, using English for communication when you are not comfortable with it can be frustrating.

In conclusion, taking English lessons with classmates has benefits and drawbacks. Try to help those learning English who are not as good as you and ask for help from those who are better than you.

I think the first thing I would choose would be the fridge. Because I usually have a habit of putting some drinks in there or sometimes food. This means that I may not need to cook more food in the evening if they are still usable after breakfast. The second one that I will choose is the air conditioner. Because, you know, the weather is pretty nasty right now so I need it to be able to survive in my room and have a better rest. The last one, it could be the dryer. Because I have a habit of washing my hair every day, I need a hair dryer to make it easier to prepare for everything. And I think this is necessary for a girl.

1. Advanced technology is part of everyday life. One of the most important technologies related to human activity is the mobile phone.

Previously, cell phones were only used to communicate with anyone and anywhere. However, now they are more than just a communication device. With the help of mobile phones, we can easily talk or video chat with anyone across the globe with just one push of a button.

Mobile phones have been a necessity in our daily lives. Today, mobile phones come in all shapes and sizes, with different specifications, and are used for a variety of purposes. You can even use your mobile phone to do banking and other important tasks. With the development of technology, anything is possible. That's why some families also choose a mobile phone instead of a TV or some other device, as it can perform watching movies or reading books and anything like that.

Although the phone is not strictly a device that only exists on the positive side, it is undeniable that it is very useful for people's lives.

The most useful website I know is YouTube, a popular worldwide video streaming site. It's packed with videos on all sorts of topics, so there's really something for everyone.

YouTube has changed the world by changing the way content is produced and shared. Now, people from almost anywhere have access to an incredible archive of information. Personally, I love drawing and so I go to YouTube most days to learn about better drawing techniques or watch tutorials. And perhaps more importantly, those who really have this knowledge can now turn their skills into real money. Many people now have successful careers because they started a YouTube channel and shared their passion with the world.

I think YouTube is very useful because I can learn a lot of things easily. It's not just art. If I want to make dinner but don't know how to cook something, there might be a video for that. That's really amazing and for me it makes YouTube the most useful site on the internet.

With the development of technology, today many new gadgets have been born. However, my favorite thing is probably the headphones.

I got a bluetooth powered headphone last year, because wearing wired headphones caused me to constantly break or damage them. And now it has become one of my must-haves when I go out.

There are many reasons to explain this. First, I am a huge fan of music and listening to music. However, sometimes listening to music on speaker phone in public makes it difficult for me to focus on the tunes. That's why I always need headphones.

What's more, headphones are also a great fashion accessory. Sometimes combining headphones with everyday clothes helps you become more stylish.

Today there are many types of headphones for you to choose from. You can easily own one without fear of the high cost. That's why I love headphones.

1. To be honest, I don't go to many places so it's hard for me to comment on this. However, I think that all people in Vietnam are extremely friendly. You can see this easily in the vlogs of travelers from all over the world. I think it's partly because the national pride in each Vietnamese person has created that friendliness. They always want to bring back the image of the most wonderful country with friends in five continents and with future generations.

2. It is very interesting that my hometown, Hai Phong city, also known as the city of red phoenix flowers, is known for its generous people. Partly because we come from the sea, that's why there are so many people who possess strong and honest personalities. I think that in any locality, there are many social components. However, as an example of myself, I am extremely friendly with the guests who visit my city.

1. Format of speaking Part 1
2. Examples:
- Where do you come from?

The place where I was born and raised is Hai Phong, a majestic city with beautiful beaches and famous red phoenix flowers. My hometown is located in the North of Vietnam, this place is also known as the port city. Although it is one of the big cities of the country, Hai Phong is not very noisy and suitable for those who want to walk around the city as well as enjoy delicious food.

18.6.2023

2023-06-18 03:23:23 UTC

Well, it's great that the weather in Hai Phong is very diverse with four seasons, but the summer here is not as hot as the capital area. This beautiful city stretches to beaches like Do Son or Cat Ba, which is why it has become one of the big cities. Although many people comment that people born in Hai Phong are quite rude, I believe that most residents here are extremely generous with tourists. This is a great choice for those who want to admire the old buildings and enjoy famous street food.

18.6.2023

2023-06-18 03:47:19 UTC

Well you know, my hometown is Hai Phong and you may not know this but Hai Phong is very famous for red phoenix flowers and that's why I love the streets here so much in the summer. Actually, it's a pity to say that I don't like the weather here in particular and the North in general. Summer in Hai Phong is too hot and you can easily get a sunburn when facing temperatures of nearly 40 degrees. However, I am still a true fan of street food in this city, and you know, the old buildings here are also very majestic.

18.6.2023

2023-06-18 04:08:22 UTC

Oh that's right, it has seen a lot of changes. With the explosive development of technology and economy, the living standard of people in Hai Phong has improved relatively. I would say it's great to know that this place has grown not only in terms of tourism, but also economically and educationally. In fact, many new roads have been extended in the areas connecting the suburbs and the city center along with the quality improvement of the old roads. You may not know that there are many high-rise buildings that have been and are being built in Hai Phong, such as Vinpearl (or with the new name Sheraton) and some buildings built by Hoang Huy company. . Actually, people in my hometown also have a more progressive view of education, which is why in recent years there have been many private and international schools. Parallel to it is the improvement of the movement quality of public schools instead of focusing on theory as in the past. It's great to see our city getting better and better.

Nelson Mandela was an outstanding leader of African nationalism and a professional lawyer born on July 18, 1918, in South Africa. He eventually gave up on that, and in 1944 joined the African National Congress. In South Africa, he spearheaded the nonviolent resistance against racial inequality.

He was one of South Africa's finest leaders and independence fighters. Mandela battled against the repressive regime alongside the revolutionaries. Nelson Mandela became the nation's first black president, ultimately leading to the overthrow of the white supremacist administration. He will always be seen as a symbol of social justice and equality. At age 95, he passed away on December 5th, 2013.

Kenneth Locke Hale (August 15, 1934 – October 8, 2001), also known as Ken Hale, was an American linguist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who studied a huge variety of previously unstudied and often endangered languages—especially indigenous languages of North America and Australia. Languages investigated by Hale include Navajo, O'odham, Warlpiri, and Ulwa.

Among his major contributions to linguistic theory was the hypothesis that certain languages were non-configurational, lacking the phrase structure characteristic of such languages as English.

The table and the bar chart given show information about the percentage of people using different means of transport, their average age, and how much CO2 is emitted from each type of vehicle in Houston, Texas. The most common type of vehicle is the car, with 48 percent of people using it alone and 11 percent for cars that carry more than one person. By comparison, up to 37 percent of users prefer train or bus, while only 4 percent of people choose to walk or cycle. On the other hand, people using public transport have an average age of 47, the oldest age, 2 to 3 years older than those using private cars. It is not surprising to see that the group of pedestrians or cyclists has the youngest average age, only 39 years old. In fact, single-drive vehicles emitted the most carbon dioxide, more than 0.3 kilos per person per kilometer. Meanwhile, vehicles used to carry more people produce only close to 0.08 kilos. In addition, people using public transport, walking and cycling only emit a very small amount or even not at all. In general, it is easy to see that although the car is the most popular means of transport, it is also a concern for the environment with its huge carbon dioxide production.

Based on what I have read, I think it is very dangerous to cross the ocean in small boats. They may experience unfavorable weather problems, such as wind storms, tsunamis. Or even face some unfriendly marine life. Moreover, these may also result in their boat being affected or damaged. Marine space is also a place where we can easily get lost.

Nowadays, young people often believe that moving to big cities will make their lives more successful. However, living in a small area also has certain advantages and disadvantages.

In my opinion, there are four main benefits. Firstly, in contrast to large cities that are always full of traffic and crowded with people, small communities have a cleaner atmosphere. This will be a paradise for those who love nature and are not suitable for a busy lifestyle. Secondly, in this place, the standard of living will be lower than in the city, so residents can easily pay for everything. Also, small population is a reason for the decrease in crime rate. Most importantly, because everyone knows each other and so they can help and take care of others in times of trouble.

On the other hand, there are still some drawbacks when choosing to live in rural areas. Firstly, it is inevitable that this place often has poor higher education, lack of health care systems and entertainment areas. Therefore, it will be very difficult for the people here to have a stable job as well as to need medical treatment in an urgent time. As a result, that will be the reason why the residents cannot keep up with the modern lifestyle of society.

In conclusion, you should still try living in big cities to expand your life, but small community areas can be a place for you to find the peace of life when needed.

In my opinion, the main benefit of a car is probably the freedom to move around. Instead of facing inclement weather or jostling on public buses, owning a car can make commuting more convenient. Moreover, car owners can bring their loved ones with them. On the other hand, this type of vehicle also has certain disadvantages. Paying for a car is quite expensive, in addition, when you travel, you also have to spend money on petrol, car repair and periodic maintenance. Besides, causing environmental pollution from cars is still a pretty big problem in today's society.

Well, I'm going to talk about my memorable trip in the past. The type of vehicle I used was a motorbike that was no longer new. I chose it because it is not a public transport, so I could be proactive in my trip depending on my preferences. It was great that I also had a Chinese friend along for the trip. What I liked about the journey was that I met many people and went to places that seemed difficult to reach. Especially this trip was very cheap. However, on the contrary, the weather at that time was both rainy and hot. I have good memories of the trip because I enjoyed the feeling of freedom it brought to me.

13.9.2023

2023-09-13 14:02:27 UTC

To be honest, you know, I'm not the type of person who likes to be active or travel too much. But I had a very memorable trip to Hanoi. It was my family's first trip to the capital, to apply for university admission for my older sister. We traveled there by train, because they are faster than buses and quite affordable. The great thing about that trip was that I got to visit places I had never seen before, such as walking streets, eating Trang Tien ice cream and drinking iced milk coffee. It's funny to remember that the weather that day was really random, we encountered rain when returning to Hai Phong. Because of that, I had to eat all the ice cream I just bought in 2 minutes and I even lost my sandals because the rain washed them away. Oh but you know what I remember about this trip is that we missed the return train by mistake, and spent over a million in taxi fare to get back home.

1. Oh, it's great to say that I'm a real bookworm. Reading helps me relieve negative thoughts in my mind, it also gives me the opportunity to learn new knowledge and opens up a wonderful space for imagination.

2. Absolutely yes, I can get lost in a movie all day. It helps me escape from the pressures in life. Sometimes watching movies also gives me valuable lessons about love or life.

3. Of course, I was completely immersed in the art of painting. That's why I'm interested in drawing, I can sit and draw for hours. This helps me clear my mind and express my inner emotions. It is not simply an art subject, it is a medicine for people who need relief.

1.10.2023

2023-10-01 15:06:29 UTC

1. Although fast food is really convenient, fast and also very delicious. But I'm not very fond of them. Because they are often produced with highly industrial ingredients, that is why they are not good for long-term health, such as instant noodles or fried chicken.

2. It's sad to say that I have absolutely no interest in cooking. Simply because modern life is really too busy, and it will be difficult for me to take the time to cook carefully. So if I do, I usually just cook simple dishes like fried eggs or boiled vegetables.

18.10.2023

2023-10-18 13:43:22 UTC

1. Well, I love to read all kinds of books, but if I had to choose, I would go for comic books. This is because by reading comic books, I can reduce the amount of stress from studying. It also helps me increase my imagination and some comic books also provide practical knowledge.

2. Well, I love all kinds of clothes, but if I had to choose one, it would have to be T-shirts and jeans. Because it's very comfortable and easy to style. I can run and dance for hours in that outfit, it's also very difficult to go out of style.

18.10.2023

2023-10-18 14:14:02 UTC

1. I prefer watching films at home to watching films in cinema because it's more comfortable and convenient. I like the feeling of sitting on the bed, eating and drinking comfortably at a cheaper price. I can also laugh freely and discuss the movie without fear of bothering anyone. Besides, I can switch to another movie if I don't like it.

2. I prefer calling on the phone to chatting online because it's more convenient and interesting. I can hear the other person's voice, making it easier to grasp emotions. In addition, when calling, I can also take advantage of the time to do other things than just focusing on typing.

28.10.2023

2023-10-28 11:16:07 UTC

1. Yes, of course. About 40% of people ride bicycles on the road and nearly everyone owns a bike. I can easily see students riding bicycles to school, elderly people cycling to the market, and some people using it for exercise or artistic cycling. The basic reason for this is because bikes are easy to ride and do not depend on factors such as gasoline or electricity.

2. I think it depends. Because like other foods, everyone has different preferences. I think sweets like chocolate will be more popular with youngsters and children than adults. In addition, it will be used more widely than usual on occasions such as Valentine's Day.

1. I think it depends. Usually sports like soccer are more popular with men than women. However, after my country's successes in football, this sport is almost known and interested by everyone.

2. Yes, of course. Almost 100% of young people will prefer to watch foreign films rather than Vietnamese films. It can be an American, Korean or Chinese movie. I think the reason is because the film industry in foreign countries is often more diverse and widely invested in than in Vietnam, which is why these films are often more attractive.

3. It's a pity but I think not really. I have only encountered a few zoos around the country. Maybe because going to see animals is only popular with a portion of children, the rest of the kids now prefer things on their phones. That's why there are only a few famous zoos in big cities, other cities don't have them at all.

1. I think it depends. For some people, studying in the morning will help them easily remember knowledge or have more energy to study. However, the rest think that studying in the morning will make them sleepy, instead studying in the evening will help them focus more on work. This probably depends partly on each person's living habits. Some people can stay up late, but some people like to wake up early. However, I think this can be balanced so that learning can be more effective and flexible.

2. I think it depends. There are people who choose to work out in the morning because they have the habit of waking up early, and they feel that morning energy will help them train their body better. It's also possible that all of their work is done in the afternoon or evening, so they don't exercise at that time. However, on the contrary, some people will prefer to work out in the afternoon. This is the time when it is not too sunny and they can use exercise as a method of relieving stress.

3. I think it depends on what job you want to choose. For example, jobs that involve a lot of manual work such as waiters, cleaners or at industrial factories, you can search at any time of the year because they always need an abundant amount of labor in these jobs. On the other hand, jobs that involve a lot of mental work such as teachers, office workers or similar professions will be more limited. Usually in the summer, or when they have a need and companies will post recruitment ads. In general, at any time, you can find a good job if you know your abilities and have a good attitude.

I think it depends. In Vietnam, most people know about football. However, it can be seen that this sport is very popular with men, but not so interesting with women.
Of course. Because bicycles are extremely convenient and compact, I can clearly see their popularity everywhere. People often use bicycles to practice sports, go to the morning market or go to work short distances.
For some people who love sweets like children or me, chocolate is a wonderful thing. However, for some elderly people or people who do not like sweets, this is not a popular food.
Oh, of course. The diversity and excitement of foreign films is always a hot topic. There are many movies shown on TV channels or Netflix, and about 70% of viewers love them.
It's a pity but I think not. There are very few zoos in Vietnam, they only appear in a few famous tourist destinations or in big cities. In my city, there isn't even a zoo.

Some people believe that studying in the morning is more effective because they are well-rested and have more energy during that time. However, the rest, including me, think studying at night is best. Because compared to staying up late, waking up early is more difficult, studying in the evening will also help people have more time to review and correct their work.
Some people think that working out in the morning will give them energy for the whole day. But there are also people who like to work out in the afternoon because they can relieve work stress this way, and prepare for a delicious dinner.
