A gadget is important to me: A laptop
I don't consider myself as a technophile, but it's hard for me to live a day without using technological devices, especially my laptop. Due to my knowledgeable limitation in the technology field, I can't tell you all things about its specifications, however, I can tell you that is quite light and easy to carry around with both a keyboard and a touch screen as well as it's quite multifunctional which compared to the old generation. Although sometimes my friends ask me why don't you buy another one or enhance the computer data storage at least. I still find it works efficiently and it seems suitable for my financial ability as a student than owning a new modern one. So the laptop's significance has become an irreplaceable thing because it was a present from my parents to congratulate me on my high school graduation 2 years ago, and it has come
in handy ever since. The laptop is important to me for various reason. Surely, it helps me professionally in my studying because I can use it to schedule lesson plans, carry out research on new topics, download e-books for my academic studies at university. Although I'm not addicted to social networking, I still use it every day for personal thing such as chatting to others using Skype. My laptop is with me most of the time because of my academic and others needs. I can't negate that devices have a lot of function, but it has influenced my life on both the negative and positive side. Maybe I'm not interested in social networking or games, but I'm actually addicted to using the laptop for the whole time. Thus it's difficult for me to spend time on outdoor activities and social interaction so I'm thinking of reducing the time using it for my well-being.

Vietnam staple food : grilled rice
In my country, Vietnam, rice is a staple food. We eat rice for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Rice comes with different kinds of viand such as pork, chicken, vegetables which are individual in each part of Vietnam, so it is also prepared in variable recipes. And grilled rice, one of my favorite food that is getting more popular because of its tastiness and their unique preparation. So grilled rice or “ Com Lam” the local name is simply rice with kinds of herb. Instead of cooking by multi rice cooker, they put a small amount of rice and herb into a bamboo’s joint and it is sealed off by a piece of banana leaf. Oh, I nearly forget water, it can be three-fouth joint in water with half rice occupy. Before that joint is directly grilled over the fire. It is raised along the side of the fire until the outer switches from green to more swarthy. In the past, it was just popular with people living in the countryside or mountain range regions. In those regions, the local people usually go to the tropical forest for natural products exploration so that grilled rice is suitable with the simple ingredients. Due to the development of tourism, it currently appears on the menu of many restaurants. But we can completely cook at home because of its simplicity. Above all, I like it because it’s easy to prepare and it really delicious. Actually, I’m not quite sure about its nutritional benefits but I’m sure that we can get some nutrients in it too, especially if herbs or vegetables are added.
