I haven't made many new friends yet, but I met a girl named Luna. She talked to me when I went to my new school, and now we walk to school together every day.

Speaking of school, it's a bit far from my house, so I go to school by bike every day. Did you know that? Yesterday, when I was going to school, it started raining, so I arrived late.

Have a nice day, Rupert!

One of my favourite magazines is vnexperss. It always has amazing articles about the history and social issues like violence and education. What I like most is how it explains complicated things in a simple and fun way.

Personally, I prefer reading magazines online. It’s faster, easier for the lazy person like me and I can read them on my phone anywhere. However, I still enjoy holding a paper magazine sometimes because it feels relaxing and special.

Magazines are a great way to learn and have fun at the same time!

I’m a person who loves sweets especially those food containing sugar, so sugarcane juice is my favourite. My favorite drink is sugarcane juice. It is a kind of juice made from the sugarcane plant. The sugarcane is ground into pulp and then the juice comes out. Sugarcane juice contains a lot of sugar so I really like sugarcane juice. I can’t make sugarcane juice because simply I don’t know how to do it have the machine to do it. I always buy sugarcane juice this drink at sugarcane juice shops. It cost very cheap It's very cheap/ It costs very little just 15.000 dong/VND Vietnamese dong. sugarcane This is the popular drink in my country and Most people drink it everyday. But drinking sugarcane juice every day regularly can cause diseases like diabetes because sugarcane juice it contains a large amount of sugar. So even though I like sugarcane juice, I only drink it once a month to avoid diabetes.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for answering my email. How are you doing? I’m really excited to go about our fishing trip this weekend. It’s been such a long time since I last went fishing!

About the meeting time, how about 8AM instead of 6AM? I feel 6AM might be a bit early, but I’m fine with either time. Just let me know what works best for you.

As for the fishing gear, please bring your own equipment because I only have one set.

I can’t wait to see you at the lake this weekend. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

Best,
Thomas

In my life, I have traveled to many tourist destinations throughout Vietnam. I have visited several provinces such as Hue, Da Nang, and Ha Noi. However, the province that left the deepest impression on me was Ha Giang.

Ha Giang is a province in the north of Vietnam, bordering China. About four years ago, I traveled there for the first time. It was winter, and the temperature was around -1 degree Celsius. That trip was very special to me because it was the first time I saw snow in my life. I really enjoyed traveling with my family, and seeing snow made the trip unforgettable.

When it comes to the benefits of traveling, I think it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, if you travel too much, you may spend a lot of money. On the other hand, if you never travel, life can become boring and meaningless. Personally, I still prefer traveling because I am the type of person who wants to enjoy life today and not worry too much about tomorrow.
