After a stressful semester, my parents decide take me to the country to visit grandparents, leave the noise of city behind. Homeland is a small and peaceful land, beside the Red River. The atmosphere here is very fresh, there is no noise, no pollution as in the city I am living. On two sides of the road there are the rows of green trees and birds singing beside the ears. In front of my grandparents’s house is a small garden. Every morning, after sweeping the house, I am taken to the garden to water vegetables, feed chickens. The feeling of watching the little yellow chickens run around the legs is really amazed. In the afternoon, my brother leads me to fly kites on the long dyke with children in the neighborhood. These children also think some interesting games such as chasing, hide and seek ... For me, everything here is new and amazing. After the trip, I know how to swim and learn many many things. I hope next summer parents will take me to visit the grandparents again.

Sau một kì học đầy căng thẳng, mình được bố mẹ cho về quê thăm nội, bỏ lại cuộc sống ồn ào chốn thành thị. Quê nội là một mảnh đất nhỏ bé, thanh bình bên cạnh dòng sông Hồng. Không khí ở đây rất trong lành, không ồn ào, ô nhiễm như ở thành phố mình sống. Hai bên đường là những hàng cây xanh mướt và tiếng chim hót véo von bên tai. Trước sân nhà bà có mộ mảnh vườn nho nhỏ. Mỗi buổi sáng, sau khi quét nhà, mình lại được bà dẫn ra vườn để tưới rau, cho gà ăn. Cảm giác nhìn từng đàn gà nhỏ vàng tơ chạy loanh quanh bên chân thật là thích. Buổi chiều, mình lại được anh dẫn đi thả diều trên chiều đê dài với lũ trẻ con hàng xóm. Bọn trẻ còn bày ra một số trò chơi thú vị như đuổi bắt, bịt mắt bắt dê, ... Đối với mình, mọi thứ ở đây thật mới mẻ và thú vj. Sau chuyến về quê ấy, mình đã biết bơi và còn học được bao điều hay ho khác. Hi vọng hè năm sau bố mẹ sẽ lại cho mình về nội chơi.

Picnics are liked by everyone, but children especially jump for joy when the word is mentioned. That is what happened to us when we learnt that a few families from our colony had planned on a day’s outing to the nearby Park.

The exciting day arrived and we packed ourselves and all the picnic gear into a van and set off. We had already booked a guest house for the day. We children quickly freshened ourselves and ran to play in the grounds.

When all our parents were ready, we walked to a small river nearby to picnic in its banks. Then the elders chose a place where the water was only two or three feet deep.

After that we had a hearty lunch of some of the tastiest things that our mothers had ever prepared. We then went around the National Park itself. it was very tiring, but we were thrilled when we saw a herd of elephants in the distance. We also saw several colorful birds and even a green snake.

We returned to the guest house and played some more games till evening. By then we were thoroughly tired. The warm bed after the ride home was very welcome. It was one of the happiest days of my life, and I will always cherish its memory.
I hope it's help you.

~Chúc bạn học tốt!~

Talk about your favorite food or drink and how to make it.

Hello eveyone,

I'd like to tell you about my favourite food. It's beef noodle. It's made if rice, beef, and many kinds of herbs. I usually eat beef noodle in the morning. My favourite restaurant is Cuong Noodle. It's a small restaurant located on Tran Hung Dao street in Ho Chi Minh city. Whenever i eat beef noodle, it always makes me have a special taste. Hanoi capital is famous for beef noodle. What's more, it's also well-known for a lot of delicious foods. For example Omai, frilled rice...
At home, my mother makes beeff noodle very well. She often makes it when my family get toghether. We enjoy the happy time when we have beef noodle at home.

I often have flu. When I have flu, I often feel very tired and miserable. However, I have some ideas to avoid the illness. Firstly, it very good if you eat more vegetables and fruits. It problems many vitamins such as vitamin A, B, C, etc. Secondly, don't drink too much cold water because it is very bad for our health, especially our throats. Finally, it is very important to keep us warm in the winter. It will help us avoid getting flu. My mother often takes care of me when I have cold or flu. She always reminds me that : " You should take the medicines as the doctor gave ". In the future, I hope I will avoid the disease because of the things I do above.

Pho is one of the Vietnam traditional food. It first appeared in Vietnam a long time ago. Pho is made from rice noodles, beef stock, meat such as beef or chicken, and some kind of herbs. First, the beef stock is boiled to make broth. In the boiled, they often add sliced ginger and roasted onions to get that 'pho' smell. Then, rice noodles and beef or chicken are quickly boiled, then put into a bowl with some herbs. Finally, hot broth is poured into the bowl, making a lovely bowl of pho. When we eat Pho, we use chopsks and a spoon. Before we eat the noodles, we should take a sip of hot broth. Then, we can smell the taste of roast ginger and onions. and we can make sure it isn't too hot. In Hanoi, Pho is not expensive. For only 25,000 VND, we can eat a deliciuos bowl of Pho. People sell it from early morning until late at night. So, we can eat Pho at anytime we want to. In Hanoi, Pho is very important because it has a unforgettable taste, so people who come to visit Hanoi need to try it .

Dear John,

I'm really happy to hear that you can stay with me this summer. So, what do you think about our plan? I think we should go to Japan. Do you know about Detective Conan? It's a famous detective story and I really love it. And you? First, we will come to Sherlock Holmes's house at 252B, Baker street. Then we will go to London Eye. There are many things to discover here. Third, we will see Big Ben- a famous clock in England. Finally, I think we will go to movie theater and see a great movie of Conan. It is Conan Movie 21: Crimson Love Letter. That is my plan. What about you?

best wishes,

Nam

Think about 3 or4 volunteer activities you or your friends can do

Last summer, I and my classmate went to the countryside to do volunteer activities. First, I taught children english and other subjects. We helped them played some games, it was funny. Then, we helped farmer collect their harvest. Some of us planted trees along the street and cleaned the village. I think last summer was very intereting because we have helped poor people. I love this avtivities.

I celebrated my birthday party last year in my own house. I decided to have an all girl party with all my friends and the female members of my family. It was amazing we had two drink fountains, everything was pink and my friend had baked and decorated a huge pink cake for me it was beautiful. I think you can get the jist of my favourite colour. By the middle of the night we were all singing on karaoke and everyone was really drunk. My last memory of the night was me lying on my livingroom floor really drunk and my friend were popping party poppers on me! lol. It was a great night and all my friends still speak about it now.
