The picture depicts a meal of a family which consists of 3 people including : A father, a mother, and their daughter. It seems just a happy dinner because all three members are getting together with tasty food. However, the expression on the daughter's face may change our thoughts. She is very overwhelmed and clutching her head with a face like a wet weekend. She may be very unpleasant because it's clear that she ignores the delicious food picked up by her father. In addition, the atmosphere is very strained now with the daughter's bad mood, which makes the father nearly out of patience with her attitude. We can't know why she feels angry and sad right now, but we can guess. There is an Asian family in this picture because we can see they are using chopsticks and spoons to pick up food while having dinner. We all know that Asian parents often want their children to have high marks or be one of the top students in their class. The teenager may have been rebuked and criticized for not living up to her parent's expectations, which makes her mood down, so she doesn't want to eat anymore. Besides, she may be acting disobediently to get what she wants from her parents, but her parents don't accept her wish and tell her to stop. To end this ice-breaking atmosphere, the parents should talk to their child to show their empathy and make her feel better instead of continuing to scold her and make everything worse and worse.

Da Nang, my hometown, is a splendid coastal city in central Vietnam which is known for its beautiful beaches such as My Khe beach, Xuan Thieu beach,... and rich cultural heritage. My hometown is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, including the Marble Mountains and the famous Ba Na Hills, which offer breathtaking views and unique experiences for visitors. One of Da Nang’s most appealing aspects is its warm, tropical weather, which makes it an ideal destination for beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year. That Da Nang people are always welcoming visitors with open arms creates a friendly atmosphere when people from all walks of life come and visit this place. Besides its natural beauty, Da Nang is also a hub of modern development, with skyscrapers, bridges like the iconic Dragon Bridge. Visitors often comment on how clean and organized the city is, making Da Nang one of the most worth living places. Finally, I wonder if Da Nang is one of the most developed cities in the world but it’s obvious that the city has become one of Vietnam's top tourist destinations.

When I got my first job as an interpreter a few years ago, I chose it because I wanted to broaden my horizon about different cultures. Although the work was sometimes stressful, I found it extremely rewarding to see how my translations helped others connect. After I had worked there for a few months, I became much more confident in handling difficult language barriers. I often had to interpret for people in governal settings, which was challenging but I could improve my attention to detail. One time, I was asked to translate during a very emotional negotiation between the US's president and the Vietnam's president, I had to ensure I didn’t let the pressure affect my accuracy. If I hadn’t accepted that job, I wouldn’t have gained the valuable experience of working in high-pressure environments or improved my problem-solving skills.

A robot is a mechanical device that can perform boring, dangerous, and difficult tasks. First of all, robots can perform repetitive tasks without becoming tired or bored; therefore, they are used in automobile factories to weld and paint. In addition, robots can also function in hostile environments, and they are useful for exploring the ocean bottom as well as deep outer space. Finally, robots can perform tasks requiring pinpoint accuracy too. In the operating room, robotic equipment can assist the surgeon; for instance, a robot can kill a brain tumor, or it can operate on a fetus with great precision.

The field of artificial intelligence is giving robots a limited ability to think and to make decisions; however, robots cannot think conceptually, nor can they function independently, so humans have to program them; otherwise, they are useless. Therefore, humans should not worry that robots will take over the world—at least not yet.
