Candles...

Besides its use of lightening, candle can also help to freshen the air. Back then, we did not have electricity, candle was the only thing that brought light to us. Nowadays, electricity is widely used, but candle still has its unique use. What will we do if the electricity is out at night time? We cannot see anything, so candle is a good choice to have a light. It does not like the light from electricity, but it can help us to see and do something we can. For example, one year ago when it was out off the electricity, but I really need to go to restroom, so how I can go there if I didn’t have a candle. In addition, this candle could freshen smell from restroom when I was inside.

Although fire which help people do a lot of things is very useful in anyway, sometime it become dangerously with people.
Indeed, it is really dangerous even small fires. When we cook something, it can burn our hand and face if we don’t do carefully.

Moreover, when fires become bigger and bigger, it can burns anything even houses which are built very strong. In my mine, I still remember fires which burned the bakery in my neighbourhood. It was a great fear when I saw them which burned three houses and killed 6 people in only one night. Everyone saw them but we could not do anything, because it was too big fire. We only waited support from firemen and got out form the houses which were firing. It was a great shock for everyone in my city.
In conclusion, Fire is great invent. It can help people a lot in daily life, however, we should be careful when we use it.

Time management ...Journal #21

Time management is an important skill for college students to master. Nowaday, student have to study and do a lot homework. Besides the studying hours on school, someone has to work to live. However, we have only twenty hours a day, so every student has their own techniques which can use to effectively manage their time.
One of popular ways which everyone uses is planning. Students usually have a plan for spending time on activities in a day, a week, or a month. This skill can help them control the time on works which they have to do. In addition, with a good plan, they will know what they do at the special time and how much time they need to spend on that work. It helps students to raise the sense of initiative.
The second way which can help student master their time is focusing on one work and do quickly if they can. Indeed, when we concentre into one work , we can do it effectively and then we another works. We don’t need to spend many times to do the same work. For example, I want to do homework, but I also want to watch TV, so last day, while I was studying, I also was watching TV. Finally I couldn’t finish my homework although I had three hours to do that. Therefore, students can save their time very much when they focus on one work and follow this way.
The last way which can help students master their time is doing exercise everyday. At first we don’t see any relation between doing exercise and time management. However, It is really an important skill which help student have a good health to do another skills. For instance, if they don’t have a good health, what thing they can do. No thing…Right? Moreover, When students become sick, how they can do their plans. How they can focus on their work and so on.
In short, time management is an important skill for college students. Therefore, they should have plans for their time, focus on their work, and do exercise to have a good health. I think if students, you, and me follow these ways, we can use to effectively manage our time.

Essay… Journal #20

My high school is one of the big schools in my city. It was built since 1921 and modified last time three years ago. It is really beautiful school, and there are a lot of best teachers and student every year. However, students study English not too much, and English class is not important class in any way. Therefore, they usually meet the problem when they study abroad. So, English class or foreign language class should be required and considered carefully.
Today, foreign languages are considered as an important factor when student want to apply for job. Indeed, most of companies in my city have an investment from foreign funds. Therefore, they require their employees have to know English or other languages beside native language. Sometime these employees have to work and communicate with foreign people. For example, when my brother applies for an office job in private companies which has 50% fund from a foreign country, required my brother had to have English certificates or something like that. So, students need to study foreign languages as soon as possible. And High schools will play important role in achieving these things. Students have to study abroad languages carefully.
In addition, students usually want to go abroad to study. So English and other languages are very important. It will be the first condition when they apply for a university. If they want to have a good opportunity to study in abroad, they should have a background about the language which they speak. Indeed they will be easy to adapt to the university environment if they can speak the language in place where they live. In short, studying English and other languages are really necessaries in high school.

Halloween…Journal #19

Two days ago, I was not going to Halloween party with ALP on the 27th. However, I have changed my mine. I decided to go there to know what the Halloween is in the United States. As I know everyone have to wear their own costumes clothes when we go there. But I don’t know what I will wear on that day? Maybe I will wear nothing like Tazan or I can wear my ancient clothes. It is really fun when I just think of it. I called to Sarah who is my American friend in University last day to ask about what kind of clothes I can wear. And she introduces me to “Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Captain Jack”. It sounds good but too expensive ($79.99). So I till haven’t decided what I’ll wear on that day. If anyone has any good idea then let me know, I will enjoy that.

I also liked ghost movies. I usually watched this kind of movie when I was in university. However, when I came to the US, I really like cartoon movies. I don’t know why like it. May be the new life in the US is more stressful, so I need to relax. Sure, it can be a reason I like it. I really like watching Tom and Jerry movies. Especially, at the first time I watched Finding Nemo movie, I found something can help me relax after school hours. When I watch this kind of movie, I can laugh so much. Sometime I laugh myself into fits, and I don’t think about anything when I watch this kind of movie. Besides relaxing when I watch this kind of movie, I feel I become younger. Indeed, I can help me recall the time when I was in primary school. I watched and waited to watch Tom and Jerry movie on the TV at each Sunday night. One more important reason is I can find out some interesting situations and smart characters when I watch cartoon movies. These characters and actors respond each other intelligently. I have learned so much from it. I really like and need it in this time, it is my favorite movie.

My Favorite Place... Journal #17

When I was in Vietnam, I saw a lot of pictures of Hawaii on the movie. So, if I could visit any place in the world, I would go to Hawaii. First, I like swimming and going to the beach in the early morning. In Hawaii, there are a lot of the beautiful beaches which have high waves, where I can surf and swim anytime I want. In addition, I can walk along the beach, and I can see the sunrise at the morning and the sunset at the evening. Second, I like the way people dance there. I still remember that it is Hula. It’s a really famous and interesting dance. Hula is the soul of Hawaii expressed in motion. No one knows its exact origins and when the first Hula was performed. Two or three years ago, I saw this kind of dancing on the TV. I wish I could join in, dancing around the bonfire. Everyone usually wears Hawaiian traditional clothes when they dance. I like these clothes. Last but not least my girlfriend really likes this place, and she hopes she can go there soon. So, if we can go there together, we will be very happy. Everyone tells me it is a good place for couples. We can live some days on paradise of earth together. I will not worry about anything such as work, family, and so on. It will be a good time in my life.
