1. Describe your house
I come from the land of Hung Yen. There was my parents' half-life effort - a beautiful
small house, enough for my family of four to live. My house is in the countryside so the
view around the house overlooks the rice fields. My house has 1 floor including 2
bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. My house has a large kitchen, the
largest of all the rooms. Because my family works in agriculture, the kitchen is large
enough to store grain. My sister and I live in the same room. I like my bedroom the most
because it is decorated to match my personality. The room is painted pink. What I like
most about this room is its window with a wonderful view. When I opened the window I
could smell the faint aroma of rice and see rice fields with cows grazing. The scene is
very peaceful and full of poetry. And that's also the reason I like coming home.
2. Talk about your memorable New Year’s Eve
My most memorable New Year's Eve is probably New Year's Eve 2021. That year was
my family's first New Year's Eve in a new house. From 11:30 p.m., my mother prepared
things to burn incense for New Year's Eve offerings. My father and I helped my mother
complete the offering tray and waited exactly at midnight for my mother to bring the tray
out. After burning incense, my sister and I went to the temple together. People still say
that going to the temple on New Year's Eve can pray for good luck for a smooth new
year. My two sisters went to the temple to burn incense and pray for the new year, then
drew hexagrams to predict what their new year would be like. The reason I say it's special
is because that was the first year I went to the temple on New Year's Eve and also the first
year I celebrated New Year's Eve in my new home.
3. Talk about your last vacation
Last vacation, my parents went to Hai Phong to visit. Because my uncle's house is in Hai
Phong, when he gets there he will take us to visit everywhere in the city. it was a very fun
vacation. I went to the beach and ate seafood at a restaurant with a very romantic view of
the beach. Seafood here is also very delicious and abundant including crabs, oysters,
lobsters... I stayed in Hai Phong to visit for 3 days. During the 3 days, I got to go to a lot
of places, I got to go to the water park and amusement park. Even though I'm older, I still
love the games at the amusement park. Along with me, besides my uncle and my parents,
there were also my uncle's two children. So we were able to hang out together so it was
fun.
4. Talk about your favourite film/movie
I am a person who loves movies. I like a Disney movie called Beauty and the Beast. I
don't remember exactly when I saw this movie, but I've seen it many times. It's a movie
adapted from the fairy tale of the same name. Talks about a prince turned into a monster
by a curse and the monster's love for a girl. The girl's love helped the prince break the
curse. I like watching these romantic movies with a bit of fantasy. Because when
watching those types of movies, I feel like I'm lost in a new world, helping me
temporarily avoid the cruel reality of life. And most of all, these movies always show us
that evil will never win over good.
5. Describe habits of Vietnamese people that surprises tourist
In Vietnam, there are many interesting things that make first-time visitors feel very
strange and surprised. Maybe it's eating habits, communication habits... when coming to
Vietnam, any tourist will be surprised by Vietnam's traffic. There are many motorbikes in
Vietnam, which is rare in other countries. In addition, the traffic is busy and crowded in a
controlled manner, making visitors feel very excited. In addition, the habit of using
chopsticks also makes other tourists very surprised because almost all Western countries
use knives and forks to eat meals. There is another habit: Vietnamese people quite like
eating dog meat. In other countries, they consider dogs as friends, so regarding this habit
of Vietnamese people, the reaction of tourists is somewhat negative.
6. Describe a special meal you have had
My birthday party last year was unforgettable and very meaningful. That day, there were
six adults and two children. Including my uncle, aunt, cousins, and our family of four. To
celebrate my graduation, my parents surprised me with a trip to Hai Phong city where we
indulged in a delicious seafood feast for my birthday. There were delicious lobsters,
blood cockles, and abalone that I still can’t forget. This restaurant is located on the coast
and serves delicious seafood while providing a stunning ocean view. While we were
enjoying fresh seafood, someone surprised me with a birthday cake everyone sang happy
birthday to me, looked at me made a wish, and blew out the candles. All individuals
partook in their meals and engaged in joyful conversation. My birthday was special as it
marked a turning point in my life and the memory of a solemn celebration.
7. Talk about your dream trip/ holiday
I have a small dream that when I'm 27 years old, I will take my parents on a trip to
Danang. I want to travel there for 1 week. The reason I chose to go to Da Nang was
because my parents said they hoped I would take them to Da Nang in the future. So I try
to study to fulfill my parents' wish. Danang is always famous for its beautiful landscapes
and novel architecture. I will take my parents to see the Dragon Bridge and the Golden
Bridge. Visit Hoi An ancient town. Go swimming at My Khe beach. I want my parents to
see the beauty of the outside world. taking them to places they had never been to half
their lives before. And to make this dream trip happen, I cannot be lazy. I will have to
double my efforts, not to disappoint my parents' expectations as well as my own.
8. Advertise your town
I come from Hung Yen. That place borders Hanoi city, so the weather and climate there
are no different from Hanoi. When mentioning Hung Yen, people always think of the
famous specialty, longan. Longan was a rare and delicious dish that only kings could
enjoy. To this day, longan has been considered one of the delicious dishes that people
often choose as gifts for loved ones. Famous landmarks here include Pho Hien. There is a
folk saying "First in the capital, second in Hien Street", so it can be seen that Hien Street
was once very prosperous in the past. The people here are as peaceful as the life here.
Unlike the bustling urban areas, this place is peaceful and people here have a slow pace
of life. If you have the opportunity, come here and try to experience the unique
characteristics of the beautiful land of Hung Yen.
