Subject : Introduction about yourself

Hi Binas,

My name is Thanh. I am a 20-year-old Vietnamese student from Hanoi. I am currently a sophomore at the Hanoi University of Culture, majoring in Foreign Culture.

I come from a family of four, including my parents, my younger brother, and myself. I am a bit short in stature, with a youthful and round face. I am often described as a perfectionist who enjoys exploring new things and working according to a plan. People also consider me to be honest and quite flexible.

In my free time, I enjoy learning new things and exploring new places. I am also interested in working on independent projects that allow me to earn my own income. I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow and develop myself.

I am writing to you today to express interest. I am confident that my skills and experience would make me a valuable asset to your team. I am a quick learner, and I am always eager to take on new challenges. I am also a team player, and I am always willing to go the extra mile.

Please write soon and tell me about you and your life.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Thanh

The photo was taken in the summer of April 2024 at Laika cafe C4 Giang Vo

In the photo, people are resting after a long and crowded work shift. We have been running and working at full capacity to serve customers coming to the restaurant. Everyone coordinates together to form an effective chain of operations.

I love this photo because it is a moment of memories between friends who have bonded together and comfort after stressful working hours.

On the photo are three friends who study at the same university as me and friends from different schools.

Thank you so much for your lovely letter! I'm so excited to be staying with your family in August and can't wait to experience life in Brighton. I am writing to you from my home in Hanoi, Vietnam.

As for my arrival, I'll be landing at Gatwick Airport at 9.30am on the 15th. Just as you suggested, I'll be taking the train straight to Brighton station. Luckily, I have a cell phone so I'll definitely call you when I'm on the train and you can meet me there.

Now, to answer your question about me: Thankfully, I have no allergies or food or drink restrictions. I am also a non-smoker. In terms of accommodation, I'm flexible – sharing a room with another student would be a great way to meet someone new, but a single room would be great too. Finally, after the course finished, I wanted to take the opportunity to explore more of England. I was hoping to extend my stay for another 3 weeks, if you agree.

Best wishes,

Thanh

I live in the city of Ha Giang, the central area of the province.

This is a small area but with a high population density. There are many modern facilities and amenities here to serve life: shopping centers, restaurants, parks, supermarkets... I enjoy the feeling of eating while watching the sunset on the Cam Mountain.

The weather is similar to the general Northern Vietnam, but due to the high terrain, the weather in summer is mild and cool due to the presence of winds, and the winter is colder, ranging from 5-10 degrees Celsius with the possibility of snow. Tourism develops in March-April when people come here to enjoy a mild and sunny summer, not too hot.

Hà Giang is famous for experiential tourism and exploring nature. There are winding mountain passes that embrace the mesmerizing rocky mountains, such as the Dong Van Karst Plateau. When visiting Hà Giang, you will be immersed in the majestic space of thousands of natural mountains. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to enjoy local specialties such as Thang Co, stone cakes, black chicken hotpot, and more.

People very friendly. I's a working city and it has a real se history, and that's the main reason why 1 like so much.

Dear admissions office,

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Mandarin Chinese course offered by Beijing Language and Culture University. I have always been fascinated by the Chinese language and culture, and I believe that learning Mandarin would be a valuable asset both personally and professionally.

As a student  with 2 years of experience, I am always looking for ways to expand my skillset and make myself more marketable. I believe that Mandarin is an essential language for anyone who wants to do business in China or other Asian countries. Additionally, I am interested in traveling to China and experiencing its culture firsthand, and I know that Mandarin would be essential for doing so.

I have a strong academic background and a proven ability to learn new languages quickly. I am also a hard worker and a dedicated student. I am confident that I have the skills and motivation to succeed in your Mandarin program.

I have looked at your website, but there is no information about intensive courses next summer.

Could you please send me information about dates and prices? I would also like some information about accommodation. If possible I would like to stay at the dormitory.

I have attached my resume for your review. I would be happy to provide any additional information that you may need.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

To: Daniel

Subject: Visit Vietnam!

Hi Daniel,

Thank you very much for your email! I am very pleased to hear that you are thinking of visiting Vietnam. It's a wonderful country with so much to offer and I'd love to help you plan your trip.

Come back Vietnam:

Weather: The weather in Vietnam varies depending on the region, but in general this is a tropical country with warm temperatures all year round. However, the North has cooler winters, while the South is often hotter and more humid. The best time to visit really depends on what you like. If you want to avoid the hottest weather, spring (February to April) or fall (September to November) may be ideal.

Things to do: There really is something for everyone in Vietnam! You can explore bustling city life in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, relax on beautiful beaches like Nha Trang or Phu Quoc, learn history with trips to Ha Long Bay or Hoi An An often trekking through beautiful landscapes in Sa Pa.

About my hometown:

Ha Giang, is a great place to experience authentic Vietnamese culture and tourism. It's not as crowded as some larger cities but there's still plenty to see and do. Here are some reasons you might enjoy visiting:

Local markets: We have great local markets where you can find delicious street food, unique souvenirs and crafts.

Peaceful atmosphere: Compared to larger cities, offers a more peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It's a great place to relax and immerse yourself in the local lifestyle.

In Ha Giang, you will experience the majestic beauty of natural rocky mountains and wonderful mountain passes. Looking at the surreal cloudy sky.

I can certainly give you some more specific recommendations based on your interests, so let me know what you're looking for on your trip!

The best,

Thanh

However, there are some things I don't like about weekends. Sometimes, they can feel like they fly by too quickly.  Especially if I have a lot planned, the weekend can be over in a blink, leaving me wishing for just a bit more time to relax and accomplish everything. 

Final sentence

Do I love it or hate it? In general, I definitely love weekends. The freedom and relaxation they provide are invaluable.
