My secret birthday party on Christmas My Christmas time started off with a secret birthday party with Vietnamese Sarus leaders 2014. They deliberately celebrated my birthday party and didn’t let me know about that. I still remember Thanh sent me a serious message and asked me out for a meeting. Him: Hey! I’m gonna have something to discuss with you. I and my friend are going to have a special project soon. I bet my own that you will be interested in that project and are willing to join us. *excited manner* Me: What kind of that project? Can you be more specific? *a little bit doubt* Him: Well, I think we’d better go out for a meeting and discuss with each other later. It’s not really convenient for us to talk about these stuff in here.*hesitant response* Me: Your friend is a boy or a girl? What is his/her nationality? *start to express my sky-high curiosity* Him: A boy. His nationality is……………. *he grinned* Me: I will be available on……….. I can’t be able to………………… I usually come on time, so please make sure that you won’t let me wait too long. *seriously* Him: Ok, ……………I will meet each other at……………. (Time and location were fixed) Me: I will send you a message to confirm our meeting again Him: See you again! [ON MEETING DAY] I unexpectedly went late 10 minutes because of traffic jam almost happened uncontrollably in my city at Christmas night. When I came to the meeting place, I also saw some Vietnamese Sarus leaders down there and I was like: “What are they doing here, were they also invited?” And I approached them, talked to them some sorts of things and kept waiting for other people. Eventually, Thanh arrived and told me that project meeting was a reasonable excuse to gather every Vietnamese Sarus leaders together at Christmas time. I assumed in my mind: “What the heck is going on? Am I too innocent to lie like that? He is really smart though, why didn’t I realize it before? OMG! I’m so stupid” In the meantime, I saw Tram was carrying a birthday cake. I asked her instantly: "What is this cake used for?" *doubtful* She responded: “It is used for my friend’ birthday party” and I was like: “Oh! It’s useless for tonight, no one in Sarus was born today, she is quite unoccupied and weird, I don’t think she carried that useless stuff all day long” (To be continued....)

***My concentration at midnight!*** Many things happened are gonna support to my perception for the last few weeks. Each people has their own abilities, special hobbies and different kinds of expression. It means that they are only one who can have this mixed-capacity. Many comparisons are totally nonsense in this case, if you have your special ability, you can help and share for the others and the others also do it for what you wanna know or how you wanna improve. Each people is a brilliant one. The problem is why don't you learn from the others around you. You don't need to find so far and wasting most of your time about it, they are who you're looking for. they're extremely talented in many ways, maybe they're more muture and intelective enough than you imagine. In fact, when I normally communicate with my friends, it's simply just a gossip but I can realize that they're more knowlegable than me and I can learn a lot from them. How amazing! Learning from the others is the wonderful way for me to adapt in this modern life

Today! I learn IELTS @@ OMG, I can see slang, jargon, terminology, academic words everywhere in news particularly. My initial thought is that I can't be bothered but actually I must do it to fullfil my ambition. That is the reason why sometimes I'm gonna be brainwork-overload as well. Have fun =]]]]

How to improve my English skill ? I have to affirm that English is the most popular language in the world, everyone learn English and me too. But actually, I don't know how to improve my English in the effective way, especially in writing skills. It such a hard skill in English, I always reading news, mimic some phrases and a wide range of vocabulary which provide me a essential tool for writing. And now, I wanna find some friends all over the world to practice with me and also build a friendship in different country. Who can join with me ? >D<

What happen when children watch too much TV This issue affects children in 2 sides: health and metal Firstly, when children spend much time to watch TV, this can be affected to their eyes somehow it reduces their eyesight, in some dangerous case, children are willing to see movie, gameshow or cartoons so much, they can skip their meals, don't drink water, it's lead to a variety of non-normal development for children such as: asthenic, stomachache..... Finally, It can also affected children in metal way. If they just spend much time to see TV, they don't wanna do anything which can be really interesting in general for other children with the same ages. They don't want to participate in any activities outdoors: sports, voluntary activies or social events......... which have been known as useful and practically knowledge activities. They just see movie and sometimes they eat something or drink gas drink for fun, it's such a big problem for them, just see TV without outdoors activities. It's also lead to glassy, especially autistism - a dangerous disease. Futhermore, maybe sometimes TV shows contain violence contents which shouldn't be showed for children, it's can strongly affected to innocent metal of children. There is such a big arguement in this issue. In my opinion, we can solve this problem by the way to change children's thought, after that it's totally change their life. I think we have a lot of solutions: their parents should control their children more strictly, limit their watching time on TV as well as encourage them to do outdoors activities which the aim to gain a good health for studying or doing something new. It's not only the responsibility of family but also the education. The schools in general and the teachers in particular, they should organize some outdoors activities in schools, cheer and attract students to participate as much as they can. In addition, they can teach and show them some disadvantages of watching TV too much each day and lead them to a better lifestyle. In short, TV have some hamful for childrens who are watch it too much and they should be safe from an abundance sources of information. What we are gonna do next? We should limit their watching time on TV as strictly as possible through out the actions from their parents, their schools and also the functional government to give them a overview with "positive watching TV cultural"
