There are many reasons for someone to choose not to vote in our society. Some people think that it is not a matter to vote because they don't care much about politics. Politic is also a difficult topic for most people or they do not know about politics or politicians and do not have time to research about them before an election. Finally, the list of candidates is not appealing to some voters or even they do not like any candidates on the list. That's why they do not vote for anyone. Even though there are still many reasons for people to choose not to vote, the voting system is a great opportunity for citizens to choose their representatives.

The memorable advertisement that I like The advertisement of Nescafe with the song "Nescafe Open up" was appeared a long time ago but it still sticks into my mind because of the lyrics of that song. "You can be rich with no money to spend..." - these lyrics motivate me a lot and it helps me much in some tough times. When I feel down, I just turn on that song and sing with the lyrics. I think the lyrics are so easy to sing along with, so it will make a memorable moment for each person and naturally, the product will stick to the audience. Besides the motivation, the song also encourages to open minds, open eyes, and open thoughts so we can achieve a lot of things that we want to achieve. I think this is also good advice for personal development skills.

Socialize phrase verb Yesterday, I hang out with my friends. We met up at a coffee shop and caught up. We hadn’t seen each other for a long time because of Covid -19 , so we just shot the breeze. And then we popped into a supermarket and quickly bought some food. We prepared lunch and had a lot of fun activities at her house. In the past, when I dropped into her house for a visit, I always brought over something like fruit, cake. However, this time, I didn’t bring anything because we want to set a new rule. Next weekend, I will pop into Rach Dua market to buy some clothes for my daughter. Then I will ask my brother over my house because I wanted to cook a special dinner for him and my family.

My work with phrase verb I am learning English and I like to note down everything because it helps me to memorize better. But sometimes I have to note on the computer because I learn at work when I have free time and I don’t want my co-workers to see the learning thing. In the office, I have to carry out a lot of meetings at the beginning of the week because I want my team to have mini-goals that week. Now, I get on a lot of projects and learning English and I have to manage it well so I can have more time for my daughter. Sometimes, I have to call off the meeting because it comes up out of the blue.

Vietnamese culture There are a lot of things to say about the culture. But I want to begin with traditional festivals. In Vietnam, I like 2 festivals: the mid-autumn festival and Hung King temple festival. The mid-autumn festival is also called: “Children’s festivals” because in this day, children will have the permission to eat a lot of cake and they will receive the gifts and watch/or perform the dragon (unicorn) dance. The mid-autumn festival is on 15 Aug in lunar calendar year every year. The Hung King temple festival is the day that the first Vietnamese King died. It is 10 Mar in lunar calendar year. And now, this day every year became a holiday day. The second thing about Vietnamese culture I want to talk is about Vietnamese clothing. There are 3 kind of Vietnamese clothing that I like is: Conical Hat or Non La (nón lá), Ao dai (áo dài) and Ao tu than (áo tứ thân). Next, I want to talk about food. I love food. I have many chance to eat food from a lot countries but I still love Vietnamese food. There are many Vietnamese food I like, for example: phở (phở bò - Beef Noodle Soup, phở gà - Chicken noodle soup…; Bun Vietnam, Rolled Rice pancake (Banh cuon); Spring rolls (Cha cuôn)… And about religion. Honestly I don’t know much about religion and I have to search the internet to talk about this topic. In Vietnam, almost all Vietnamese people today categorize on their own as non-religious, including myself, even though we usually go to religious temples many times each year. Our behaviors are influenced from numerous religions, specially Confucianism, Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism.

My family There are four members in my family: my mother-in-law, my husband, my daughter and me. My mother-in-law is 75 years old but she is still very strong and wise. I learned a lot from her like how to live with joy and happy, how to treat other people... She moved to here 1 year ago in order to take care of my child. She has a lot of experience with children because she raised 4 her children. My husband is 3 years older than me. We met each other 10 years ago but have just got married 2 years ago. In the past, my husband and me worked at the same company but now he moved to another company. He is so kind and handsome. We have a daughter and now she is 1 year old.
