One more week off, according to the latest schedule for the new semester. That means one more week staying at home, doing nothing but just sleeping, eating and sticking into Facebook. Then have to fake a smile and pull the nearby neighbor's legs by telling them "I've been kicked out of school", whenever they ask why I'm still messing around here. They all seem to start believing that I'm indeed an expellee. Ridiculous, but quite annoyed and bored! I was ablaze with anger when Puwa woke me up from my deep nap this afternoon, only to announce me of the newly-changed-for-the-hundredth-times schedule. I had received it the day before, and strongly believed (and hoped) that it would be the last and official one. Yet it was not. They have, for the 3rd time within 3 days, changed it. For this last alteration, they simply posted the new one on the website and do nothing else to let us know. They did mention this before, saying that we need to keep track of the website

It’s you who can lucidly choose your other-half In the feudal age, arranged marriage is very common. Even some old-fashioned family nowadays still arrange their children’s marriage. Arranaged marriage is the marriage in which the couple are made, usually by their parents, to marry the one they may not know and may not want to get married with. Reality, together with a great number of surveys made over years, show that just a few couples amongst those engaged in an arranged marriage feel happy with their spouses. Such fact reinforces my view that one had better find his or her other-half themselves. No one but you yourself can know when you are ready for starting a love and getting married. This plays a very important role because loving and marrying someone is one of the most decisive turning-points in one’s life. You, therefore, ought to carefully consider finding the right time when You are full-prepared for your married life. If you agree on an arranged marriage, you will probably e

Every early morning, Tèo, a twenty-year-old student, starts his new day by checking his email inbox, which is always full of messages from his friends all over the country and even oversea. He then read through all the new incoming mails and goes to school, leaving the job of replying those messages until late at night, before bedtime. Tèo, like a great deal of modern teenagers and youth nowadays, prefers sending email to writing letter. “It’s a waste of time writing and waiting for a letter”, as many of them claimed. Yet if they try, though just once, to write a letter instead of type an email, they may realize some spiritual benefits that this kind of traditional communication can bring. First of all, the preparation for writing a letter shows that you are sincere and really care for the recipients. While an email-sender merely need a computer to type what he or she wants to say, a letter-writer needs more than just pen and paper. He or she needs to carefully consider which kind o

Why there is room for high standard coffeehouses to grow in Vietnam?

U.S. Public schools provide two education programs for immigrants, who are not proficient in English: the ESL and the bilingual. The ESL programs are taught entirely in simplified English and also include further explanation on the language. Meanwhile, students choosing the bilingual programs are taught in their native languages and also learn English as one of their subjects. These two education programs have created a debate on parents, who find it difficult to make up their mind on which program is the most suitable for their children. In my opinion, bilingual is better for immigrants. “Language reflects culture”, as someone said. One should learn and master his native tongue in order to preserve and transfer the value of his culture to the following generations. For immigrants, who have to live faraway from their homeland, mother tongue is of great importance. Young children should know how to speak native language so that when they come back to the country, they can

Another assignment on the Academic writing, still at second year. ---- In almost every office computers you can easily find many small games such as Dynomite, FeedingFrenzy, Lines, etc. These are called mini games, as they are easy to play and don’t take much time to finish the whole game. Therefore, they are preferred much by Vietnamese white-collar workers, who usually don’t have much task to do in their work time. Considering the game play, i.e. the way the game is played, there are three types of mini game: card, action and puzzle. Card games, as named, are games in which playing cards are used. There are a great variety of card games, including those are played in casino; or such traditional types as the Poker or the Bridge. Some games even help you to play mahjong, a Chinese game played with small pieces of wood with symbols on them. The noticeable feature of this kind of game is that it is none of complexity, i.e. it is fairly easy to play, as long as you catch the rule. Th
