Hanging out with my friends

            Last weekend, at 12 p.m my friends and i went to the mall to buy clothes there. We passed by all the stores and bought some cool stuff around it. After that, we had lunch at Thai Food restaurant ,which is very close by. Then we went downtown for walking around and sightseeing. I got a lot of fun down there with my friends. Then the time went by, it was 7 p.m and also it was time to come back and eat dinner. Finally, everybody dispersed, i got home at 7:15. I think it was such a good day to go out with my friends on the weekends.

valentine's blog

         Basiclly, the Valentine day is an opportunity for boys and girls show their love to each other. The love is always romantic even if whenever you are being any situations. In Viet Nam cultures, teachers in school usually teach their students what Valentine day is and how to celebrate it when they are kind of young . Teachers tell to students that just write a small postcard about who you love and put that is the mail box and then about all of those postcard randomly.
         Besides students's way, adults usually buy chocolate, flowers or small gift comes with a post card and give them to their company.
         In my opinion, Valentine day is very important day which people never can miss or forget about it.

A Comparison of Vietnamese and American Writing

          As an international student from VietNam. I can see some differences between Vietnamese and American writing. In order to demonstrate my opinion, i would like to give a brief introduction about it.
           I have some similarities between 2 countries. In Viet Nam, writing isn't an important subject. Students develop their writing skills through the study of literature.The teacher begins by asking the student to write simple and short paragraphs about what happens in his/her daily life. Popular writing topics include “the person you love best,” “pets,” and so on. When grading, the teacher pays attention to spelling, clarity, and the way students use words. In secondary school, a student begins to write longer and more difficult essays, including plot summaries, movie reviews, character- and other kinds of literary analysis.
          In United States, when you write a paragraph, you need make outlines, brain-storms, gathered infomation from internet reseachs in order to support all about your topic sentence. Besides that, you need to double space and leave some room at the end  so that teacher can make corrections.
          In general, there are not lots of similarities about each writing style. By writing any kinds of eassays or paragraphs, we need to write almost the same system that both countries have.
