This cue card instantly reminds me of a mountainous city names Da Lat, my all-time favorite city that I have visited and will always willing to revisit again. It is located in the southern parts of the Central Highlands region in Vietnam. It is a famous tourist destination, offering lots and lots of hidden gems which give you a whale of a time exploring the city.

It’s not very difficult to travel to Da Lat. From Saigon, you can drive there yourself or going by bus, it will take approximately 8 hours to get there. If you’re not patient or is someone who’s not fond of driving, you can fly to Bao Loc then catch an 1-hour-drive bus to get to Da Lat. It is becoming easier and easier to travel to Da Lat with all the new and upgraded road. However, during the raining season, it can get very dangerous.

There are so many activities which can cater any needs of tourists. If you are into shopping, there are lots of shops and merchants in the central market of the city. If you look for tranquility, there are roads and corners and beautiful pavement café for you to get around enjoy the quietness. And if you you love adventure, there are hiking trails and mountains for you too.

I have always been a mountain guy so I am in love with this city mostly because of its weather and the landscape. There is nothing more satisfying than waking up in the morning and see the view of mountain range and the birds chirping. Its slow pace of life is also the reason for me to love the city so much.

My trip was in the Bat Trang pottery village

The National Day 2/9 is the speacial day of our country. All of people are joyful, glad and have a lot of exciting plans like as : visitting Uncle’s Ho moselium, going to the movie theater or places of entertainment ... I just had a interesting trip in the Bat Trang pottery village on that day. But It must took two hours to go from here to there, therefore that juorney really made me very tired. We leaved at 6.30 am. It may be quite early. Because when we arrived there, a few stores still hadn’t opened yet. Finally we decided to go to the pottery nearly. Making pottery is the work which requires cleverness and creation. At the first time when I have seen the potters rotate the throwing and make potteries by their hand, I did think that it’s very simple to put the clay body on the turntable of throwing then control of your hand cleverly to create the shape you want. but I were wrong, in fact, if you‘re only careless a little your pottery’ll be out of shape. What a pity! I also tried to make a cup myself and it had never finished.
In the pottery, I sudden heard a sound “ Hi! Are you PTIT?” I looked up realizing that sound of Leo( another member of ELFs). That is real a interesting amazement in my trip. We had talked to each other happily.
After an hour, we went to paint statues. There were a lot of people like this art game. I must tried so much to get a sit and choose a statue I like best. Almost people concentraded all their mind on painting so much that they didn’t know everything around them. I chose a lovely frog. It seems to be quite like the one in my inventory of our forum. I painted it as carefullly as posssible. How hard the choice of colours was!. Eventualy, I made up my mind to paint the body’s frog in the green; the feet and hands in yellow, the mounth in red; the cheek in white and had more some red dots. Wao! I thought it was very cute!. I like it so much!. If you see it, you ‘ll certainly like it as me.
When we came back the the Bat Trang pottery market. There were a lot of people there. Most of the stores always crowed with buyers. The ceramic wares there were very plentiful and multiform which attractted the attention of domestic customs as well as international customs. With me the imperessional potteries were ceramic pictures, vases, bracelets, belt, ear-ring…and a lot of art statues which I had never seen before. There were many cute and lovely ceramic wares suitable of the girls. So It seems the girls like shopping there rather than the boys. I also bought a few lovely things made me pleasure. Speacial I bought a vase and a bundle of beautiful-decorated chopticks for my mother . I ‘m sure she ‘ll like it.
About 2 pm, we took a bus and come back home. That was a wonderful day. I’ll remember that interesting trip forever.

My city is a very important city with a high population and many famous hotspots such as markets and landmarks. The Chandni Chowk market area is located in the city of New Delhi. It is one of the most crowded places in the city and hosts a large number of people on a daily basis.

This place is mostly made up of shops and shopfronts with houses and apartments on the back sides or above the shops. The place remains crowded for the most part as visitors throng in the place every day to buy electronics or home care products. I visited Chandni chowk during the last autumn in the month of October. It was a part of my four-day visit to Delhi for a family vacation.

On the last day, I went to this market area to look for and buy a few things as gifts to my friends and to buy a few specific food items available in some very old and famous shops in the area. The market was very crowded that day. All sorts of people were hurrying about in order to sell or buy something. I went around in different shops with my cousins and bought whatever I needed. I had to bargain with the shopkeepers very quickly as there were a lot of customers waiting to buy stuff.

All in all, it was a great experience, even though it was very hectic and tiring. I got to meet so many new people and to buy many new things. It was also great to experience and relish new food items and tastes.

Topic 1: Talk about whether you to be famous?

A person's fame won't help people, but the works speak more louder than anything.

I would to be famous for the following below:

if I happen to publish any book in near future, I would love it to gain favourable response and hope that somewhere it truly helps the readers and connect to their souls.

Or even the actions towards my parents, brother and friends, I would them to remember my genuine feelings towards them.

Or if I get a good chance to volunteer in some place who really needs help or even as a part of my future career if I get to do that, I would definitely want the action to be well known, so that more and more people can take part in it and help out.

Topic 2: Describe the appearance of one of your family members?

The person in my family I really and also love is my mother. She is a very special person and I cannot imagine what I would be without her.

Physically, my mother is petite. She is only about 5 feet tall, and weighs about 110 pounds. She has fine, black hair and a fair complexion. One thing people often noe is that my mother always takes pride in her appearance. Even now, at the age of 80, my mother is a well dressed, well-groomed and elegant woman, with her fine choice of clothes and matching accessories, jewelry and shoes.

Intellectually, my mother always loves learning. Even after her busy day, she won't go to bed without reading the newspaper. She was one of the few members of her family that completed university. She also has many creative and cultural interests such as literature, music and dance. Through her own enjoyment, she passed on this love of culture to all her children, including me.

Emotionally, my mother has a heart of gold. All her life, she has been ready, willing and able to help anyone who needs anything, with a smile on her face.  She is of the old school - she remembers to wish friends and relatives on their birthdays and anniversaries, she attends their weddings, dinners and parties, and she visits them when they're hurt, unwell or in mourning. In fact, my mother has always been a kind soul and people of all ages love her as soon as they meet her. I think this is because she is good-hearted from her core, and her authenity is what everyone relates to. She has taught me the meaning of being compassionate, loving, kind, helpful, supportive and so much more. In fact, thanks to the unconditional love of both my wonderful parents, I  feel I've been truly blessed in this lifetime.

Topic 3: What is a fun weekend for you?

If the weekends are along with a holiday, even small trips could be planned well in advance.

The idea of a fun weekend could differ from person to person. Well according to me, the idea of a fun weekend would be something spending some quality time with family and friends, and enjoy all that I could do. Since we would be having two days off, I have plenty of time to enjoy around and have fun.

I would love to play outdoor games with my friends all through the day and have lots of fun and enjoyment with them on one day. By evening, maybe I could I spent some time with my family, go out with them and enjoy a good dinner. On the second day, maybe we could go out, spend time again playing games, visiting friends and family and spending some time over their place. Apart from these, I also going for small vacations with my family or small trips along with my friends. This gives lots of enjoyment and fun and would definitely rejuvenate me for the coming week to focus more in my studies and school activities.

Activities for weekends could be planned well in advance in some cases and we have also done it. Short trips, family get together were all planned well ahead of time and we did have great fun during those times too.

FAMILY VOLUNTEER DAY 

The first reason why many families do volunteer work is that they feel satisfied and proud. The feeling of fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In addition, volunteering is a great way for families to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don’t have time to volunteer because they have to work and take care of their families. If that’s the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You could select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your family can make and donate gift baskets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can also spend only one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish in your neighborhood.

If I have a chance, I’d like to visit Da Lat. Da Lat is the coolest place in Viet Nam, with an average temperature around 20-25 degree annually. Located in the Lam Vien highland, Da Lat is famous for its cool weather, various types of flower and romantic scenes. Visiting Da Lat, I will visit its pine forests, flowers garden, vintage houses and stores,.. Besides, enjoying the local cuisine attracts me a lot. Xuan Huong lake and Da Lat market are among the most common places in Da Lat for visitors to come. Also, you can see the French architecture in the houses and villas in Da Lat, which has been built nearly 100 years ago. Valleys, lakes, mountains and hills are known as the symbols of Da Lat, Suoi Vang valley, Love valley, Suoi Vang lake, Langbiang mountain are the ideal destinations to have a rest and escape from the city’s noise. They are also the places that many music videos were filmed and gained reputation. Because of its peace, breathtaking views and natural beauty , Da Lat is listed one of the most expected attractions in Viet Nam. I have never been there, but I always dream of coming there once of my life. I believe that, one day, I can put my step there, breath fresh air and enjoy the peace.  

Travelling in historical places always helps expand the realm of knowledge. In fact, this is the way to gain real-life knowledge. So, I love travelling and would like to visit the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

This is the largest pyramid among the pyramid complex located at El Giza in Egypt. The pyramid is better known as the Pyramid of Khufu. Moreover, this is one of the oldest Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This is the only one that has been not been damaged so far. It is known that the pyramid was made by Pharaoh Khufu who belonged to the fourth dynasty of Egypt. The pyramid was built as a royal tomb with a span of 20 years. The pyramid is also famous as it remained as the tallest man-made structure on the planet for a longer time. Egyptologists are of the view that pyramid was made around 2500 BC

Egypt is the country where different mysteries are found and in the current days, the mysteries make the people thrilled. Pyramids are one of the attractive things in the country and have many specialities. The Great Pyramid was made wish casing stones for a smooth outer surface. The pyramid construction is still unknown to all but there are some hypotheses about the construction. The most impressionable hypothesis is that the stones were brought from a quarry by dragging and then those were lifted using some special techniques to be set in their places. But no scientific evidence or explanation has been found yet over the actual construction style. The place is special for another reason - there are three burial chambers inside the pyramid whereas the other pyramids do not have such chambers.

I am a graduate student of history at the Western Sydney University and one of my courses deal with the ancient civilisation. Thereby, I came to know about the past stories of the earth, men, cultures, customs and many other relevant issues. One of the chapters in this course is dealing with the civilisations of Egypt. The chapter is all about the life and living on Egyptian Pharaohs, common people, Nile and the localities near and centring the Nile. A couple of weeks ago, the teacher for History Mr Andrew Smith, started the chapter. Since I was highly interested in ancient history, the chapter attracted me most. Then I took the help of the internet and came to know about many interesting issues about Egypt, Nile and the pyramids.

I have read different interesting information about the pyramids and Egypt. The information has made me curious to visit the place, especially the pyramids. It is known that the emperors (better known as Pharaohs) build the structure as the tomb for them. So, when they died, they were buried inside the burial chamber adorned with precious riches and facilities. The Egyptians believed that the king or emperor may need wealth in the other world. So, they provided the ornaments, precious stones and other wealth. Often they killed the servants to accompany the masters in the other world. They buried the servants with the kings too. Another most interesting factor is the mummification of the dead bodies. They used to preserve the dead bodies in such a way that the bodies remained the same for years and still some of the dead bodies have been found which have not been changed at all. These are highly interesting to me and so I want to visit the pyramids.
