Teacher Hoa:

To be honest, I didn't focus too much on learning this week. I've felt pretty tired this week. But this is not the main problem. I still wasted my time on Facebook, like just scrolling up & down - this is a bad habit. I need to make a change seriously. So next week, I'm gonna have a detailed plan for what I want to learn.

Another problem I just realized is that I feel my memory is getting worse. Sometimes I can't remember what I'm gonna to do.

Let see... what I learned today....

I could remember a word "sendetary jobs - sitting down jobs" this morning when I had a meeting with Linh, Emma, & Duyen.

This afternoon, I had 2 classes with LayLa & Katniss. I learned what a balanced diet like and why government collects taxes. After that, I had a pretty interesting discussion on true love. There are 4 elements of true love - loving kindness, compasion, joy and equaminity /ˌek.wəˈnɪm.ə.ti/ (a calmness in a difficult situation).

And in the evening, I had a lesson with Beer. We talked about soft and silken Singaporean tofu pudding - which is a delightly low-calorie dessert.

And now, I'm learning about IELTS Exam - The Key to IELTS exam.

Teacher Hoa:

2 things I want to learn/ know is academic writing skills and translation techniques (biên dịch). Actually, translation was one of my favourite subjects at university. And now I want to learn it again.

This week, I am very busy. But I still manage to study on Coursera. I have learned many things. I learned new words, practiced speaking, and improved my learning skills. I don’t remember everything, but I think I am getting better. I feel truly lucky to have had the chance to meet Ms. Hoa. I'm grateful to Ms. My Linh for making the connection.

Two things I want to improve are my listening and speaking skills.

Ever since I joined the group, I truly feel grateful to everyone — all the incredibly lovely girls who are giving me so many valuable lessons, both in learning and in life.

I know our journey together may be short, but still, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A special thanks to chị Linh, who is teaching me so much during the shadowing sessions, and to em Duyên — your persistence really motivates me to try harder every day.

With appreciation and love.
