1.PARTY

I celebrated recently a birthday party for my beloved son in Saturday evening last week. Its his 12^th birthday, so I really want to make him surprise. I invited his best friends and some our relatives to the party. My husband and I prepared everything to decorate for the living room (balloons, candle, pictures, gifts)  and cook a delicious meal for everyone (Sweet and sour pork ribs, Stewed pork  with caramel, Fried rolls, Stuffed pancake , Sweet and sour salad ) At 7.pm, we finished preparation for the party and everyone was in my house. After, my son received presents, we started  dinner and singing birthday song. We all gave him the best wishes. I felt really happy because of seeing his mature day by day.

2. DAILY LIFE

By habit I get up early from bed at 6 a.m. Then, I take physical exercise to keep my body healthy and fit and if it becomes advantageous for me, I take a walk of about one km.I get refreshed with the morning walk or a little exercise and then prepare myself for the work. I work in library Department of BU of HCMC. I start working at 7 A.M and finish at 5 P.M. I maintain punctuality in working. I have break at 12 P.M, I always have lunch with my colleagues at the office. I’m back to work at 1.P.M.  After 5p.m, I get back home and cook dinner for my family. Then I spend time to watch TV or teach my children. At 2 days of weekend, I and my family usually go out to relax : go to the theater, go fishing, go to water park, pay a visit to our relatives…

3. A pratical skill

I'm going to talk about driving, which is a practical skill that I use almost every day.I learnt to drive a car by taking lessons when I was 17. My parents paid for me to have lessons with a professional driving instructor. I learnt by practicing: first I had to get used to steering, changing gears and using the mirrors. I also had to learn the highway code.As a 17-year-old, I wanted to have the experience of driving a motorbike, and I was fed up with having to walk or take the bus or train whenever I wanted to go somewhere. I also knew that driving would be an extremely useful skill.Being able to drive has helped me in so many ways. The public transport where I live isn't very good, so I travel to work by motorbijke most days. Having a motorbike makes my life much easier when it comes to things like shopping or visiting family and friends.

4. IMPORTANT DECISION

Finding a career might be one of the most important decisions I will have to make in life. I mean, this decision will affect the rest of my life as well as the lives of my future family, so it is really something I should analyze before taking the decision of what I am going to do. I was a student graduated from Hue college. So I always wanted to go to higher education and find a better job. I wanted to move to HCM city to do what I wanted for my future. But I had to think so much about that. It was real hard to make a major decision because this will change my life and the other around me. After receiving advices from my family as well as my teachers and my best friends, I finally decided to move from QT to live in HCM city.. Now, I’ve lived in HCM city for 8 years. I have a good job and happy family. I’m going to study continuously master in my major. Life is a journey, and as I walk on the journey of life I will make a number of decisions. But I always know that the decision I made 8 years ago is right. Now I’m very satisfied with my life.

5 EMAIL

I write a lot of emails as part of my job. I probably write between 3 and 6 work emails every day. I like others in my country mainly use email to support our work and sometimes send emails to friends or family. Nowadays, more and more people use email as a useful supporting mean bcoz its fast, safe and convenient. But email still has several disadvantages such as : it depends too much on devices and systems, so some problems happen : cutting of electronicity/ internet, computers are out of work… we cant send our emails. email is more convenient for me cuz I type faster than I write, but I still like making notes or writing ideas down by hand in some cases (If it is for Christmas cards or love letters, I tend to write them by hand)

I dont think computers might one day replace letter writing. Coz it’s an important skill, and schools will continue to teach children to write by hand before they learn to type.

6. FRIENDS:

I have many friends from school and university which are the same age with me. I've got some friends who are older or younger that I met through work . Some of them become my close friends. I usually meet up with some friends during a week because we work in the same office. At weekends I prefer to visit to other friends who are busy during the week. We usually cook dinner or go out together
Yesterday I and my university mates visited to the most luxurious entertainment centre. After competing there three of losers invited winners to a dinner.

My close friends have a great place in my life because they always help me whenever I need. Two of them are closer to me whom I share common interests and my feelings with. I know I can also rely on them whenever I need help or support. Friendship is as important as family so I always try to make them equal. I tend to meet up with my friends at weekends because everyone's too busy during the week.

7. COMPUTERS:

I use computer everyday as a part of my job and my favorite. At the moment, Most people in Vietnam use computer for working, communicating, entertaining… I begin learning to use computer when I was in 6^th . My father bought a new computer for me. I spent lot of time to learn how to use it. I would like to type faster, so I practice very hard. At present, I can type 50 words per minute but I would like to improve it to 100 minutes per minute. The computer made my life better and easier. I can easily search every information on the internet, can keep in touch with my friends and my family, It also help me working more effectively. But sometimes, I waste hours chatting with my friends on the computer. And I realize that people are more antisocial. Nowadays people prefer to chat over the internet instead of talking in real life.

8. Going out in the evening

I seldom go out in the evening bcoz I don’t have many time. After working, I go home and do house work ( cook dinner, wash cloths n dishes, teach my babies…) I usually spend all evening with my family (husband, children : 1 son, 1 daugjhter). We eat dinner, wach TV together. Sometimes, my friends call me to hang out together. When finishing all of housework, I drive my motorbike to go out w them. We usually go to coffee shop and chat w each other. I tell them how my work and my family are going on. I also hear their different stories of life. We share common interests and feelings together. I know I can also rely on them whenever I need help or support. Its really relax and happy to see my friends sometimes

9 SHOP

When speaking of the topic,I want to say something about place that comes first in my eyes. There is a small shop close to where I live,it's only 30 meters away from my university.It's located in Linh trung st.I like shopping, though not as crazy as many of my colleagues,I go there more frequently than other places,about twice a month,cause I'm very busy with my work,so I haven't much time for hanging out. this place has a focus on office fashion and trend.So it is very popular among officers. And you can buy most of the fashionable things there. For me, I sometimes bought clothes,rings necklace, and cute chains to hang on mobile phones there..Where you can do a range of things,from soap to perfumes.I like this shop bcoz it has many ranges of product for my choice and its near my house so that’s very convenient .Gerneraly speaking,it's a very good selection shopping.

11. ADVICE

I mean, this decision will affect the rest of my life as well as the lives of my future family, so it is really something I should analyze before taking the decision of what I am going to do.

13. GIFT

I would like to talk about a mobile phone my husband purchased it for me as a gift on my 38^th birthday which about  2 months ago. It is a samsung smartphone with lots of capabilities including 3 MP Camera.  I was very surprised to see what was inside the wrapping bcoz I had actually thought he was going to give me a new dress or T-shirt ..  I use the phone every day to keep in touch with my friends either by calling them or using the sms functionality to send them text messages or even video messages.
In my spare time, I like to hear music so I use my phone to listen to music. Sometimes I also can check my emails and fb online. This is an extremely useful feature. It even has a calendar that reminds me about appointments. So I don’t have to miss any !

My phone is becoming an essential part of my life. It actually holds all my contacts, my photos, my music collection, my recorded videos. IT is really so special and useful gift that my husband ever give to me

14 BUYING UNSASTIFIED THING

Ok, well I’d actually like to begin by saying that there aren’t really that many things I’ve bought which I’ve been dissatisfied with, so it was kind of difficult trying to come up with something to talk about. But then I remembered the cell phone I once bought which I wasn’t happy with at all, so that’s what I’m going to talk about.And as for when I bought it, well if I remember correctly, it must have been about 2 or 3 months ago, My old cell phone was out of work so I had to buy a new one. I came to Nguyen Kim supermarket and chose for myself a Samsung galaxy. After using for 2 weeks, I recognized that besides nice design, its quality is not good. The phone was out of battery very quickly. And the quality of its sound is also not good.Anyway, regarding why I bought it, well basically it was because I use moisturizing cream every day, as my skin tends to go quite dry after washing it, which I guess is normal for most people. So when I saw that I was about to run out of it at home, I went to go and get some more. However, what happened was I couldn’t find the brand that I normally use, so I decided to experiment and try out a new brand.And compared with the brand I had been using before, the quality turned out to be a lot worse.So considering the money I had spent, I was expecting a lot better. And because I knew there was no way I would be able to get a refund, I ended up just continuting using it.It was a lot of a waste of money, but at least I’ve learnt that if something’s expensive, it by no means guarantees that the quality will be good!
