When I agreed to teach you, I did not realize the
enormity of responsibility I was going to undertake. I
am already busy with my thesis, my practicum, my
part-time job and a myriad of other trivial things.
Therefore, I sometimes feel dead tired and terribly
depressed when I am unable to sleep in at the
weekend because our lessons are scheduled on
Saturdays and Sundays. I think you disrupt my life
and deprive me of the moments I want to do
something for myself. I also often have deep hatred
for you because you are so demanding. In the
evenings, I am totally immersed in my work when
you first startle me with a buzz even though I tell
you not to do so again and again, then continually
bombard me with questions about English grammar
and require full, clear explanations until you are
satisfied. Usually, I try to remain patient but one
time my anger with you for wasting my valuable time
led to a quarrel. The result was you were too angryto continue learning and I was left fuming at you.
Instead of reaching a compromise, you and I
exchanged angry words about each other, which was
also a waste of time and a mental constraint for both
of us. You blamed me for not taking teaching you
seriously and complained about my inability to give
clear explanations; I accused you of not being
sympathetic with me because I already have my
hands full without giving you free lessons at the
weekend and in the evening. After a heated debate
about who was wrong, you decided to have no more
because both of us were too angry at that time to
admit our mistakes.
It happened a long time ago, but looking back to
that memory, I can still feel my face redden. I
wonder how I could be such a bad teacher given tha
I have always determined to become one who is
highly committed to her career. But things are
different now. After that big argument, both of us
calmed down and decided to talk in earnest. Welistened to each others feelings, admitted our
mistakes and tried to work out a feasible solution
Never before had I had the chance to get to
understand my student so thoroughly. Your
reasonable words awakened me to the true meaning
of teaching. I realize that knowledge is important bu
not enough to make a good teacher. That is to say
being a teacher requires great commitment
knowledge and love for their students as well. Now
each lesson is no longer a burden but a valuable
experience for me. Even though I sometimes ge
annoyed with you, I know how to express it in a
suitable way so that you do not feel discouraged. I
am also learning how to explain things clearly. And
although I am still very busy and sometimes long for
a day entirely to myself, I put a lot of effort into
teaching you. Thank you for opening my eyes abou
what teaching is.

Like many other first-year students at this
university, I find it difficult to be confident in
myself. I feel as if there was an invisible shell
covering me. I made me feel so shy that I
often kept silent even when I was asked to
perform a simple task like describing a picture.
In each speaking lesson, time seemed to pass
slowly; the atmosphere seemed to be
oppressive. Oh, each speaking lesson was
really a burden to me. This situation had still
continued until two weeks ago when two
trainee teachers came to our class. At first
sight, I took notice of the teacher who looks
rather quiet and strict with her arms folded in
front of her chest. However, when I looked into
her eyes and her smile, I felt something
contrasting. After adding her yahoo
messenger address, I found something
interesting. She is only two years older than
can be free to tell her my thoughts and my
problems as well. She realized my lack of
confidence and encouraged me a lot. It is
quite difficult but try to overcome yourself, be
confident to say anything you like, she said.
She used to be as shy as me and therefore
she lost some opportunities. She does not
want me to make the same mistake. You
cannot imagine how happy I was when
hearing that. Before talking to me, I was really
confused; I needed a sharing, an advice or
only an encouragement. And she gave me all I
need. Those simple things brought me a
strange power. Since then, I have gained
belief and confidence to speak what I think, to
do what I like and to be myself. Believe me or
not, this change has an important meaning.
Now, I want to tell you that Be confident to
overcome yourself, believe in your ability, the

To tell the truth, its not easy for me to adapt myself to this new environment. Everything fro
classmates, teachers to teaching methods, was so strange to me at first. I come from Quang Binh
province in central Vietnam, which made it very difficult for me to make friends with the others - j

Our skills have improved considerably thanks to their help. Therefore, I do not consider sitting

Before going to university, I used to envision that life would be a severe trial. Thats right - but only
some ways. I experienced a lot of hardships and found happiness at the same time. I really
blessed with coming across so many hardships. There are no days passing without me learning m
and more. This environment helps me widen not only my bookish knowledge but also
understanding about people around me and the society. It enriches my mind and beautifies my sou

road ahead but Ill always try my best in order to have a successful future.

My dear readers,
What do you feel about the campus life? About me, I think it is an interesting an
challenging life. There are not only chances but also challenges and difficulties, so we shou
prepare carefully to be able to achieve the best results. In this article, I give you five vital skills f
students (vital it is just my idea, :D). Maybe I dont have a lot of experiences to be sure that they a
necessary for all students but I do hope that they are useful for you.
stly, it is str ess management skill.
hen you are a student, there are many activities for you to do, for example:
udying (of course), doing part-time work, going out, volunteering, etc... Day
er day, all make you tired and stressful, you can also be confused with
adlines. So, you should:
Find yourself a peaceful corner: listening to your favorite songs, sleeping
with hugging a warm pillow or going out with your closest friends, even
eating your favorite foods, etc ... Do things which help you feel comfortable
and be yourself!
Press button stop: stop all for a moment then r ear range them in a logical
way. Working scienti fically helps you save your t ime and discharge str ess
effectively.
Secondly, leadership skill is also very important. It
necessary at universi ty and it is helpful for you to appl
good job after graduating, too.
Be a good member: in order to become a success
leader, you should be a good member firstly. Y
had better learn good points fr om leaders and avo
their bad points.
Be confident, be pr estigious. They are keys for eve
success.
dly, this is communicative skill.
s very necessary for you to persuade everyone and make themderstand what you mean.
Practice speaking skill: you can practice this skill with your friends, your
family, and even strange persons. Try to think and choose topics which
attr act ever yone; you shouldnt ask questions such as How are you? or
What did you do yesterday? etc. because they are quite boring.
Practice listening skill: listen to everyone, listen to their problems.These help you know more about them, thereby you can communicate
with them easily and effectively.Persuade and debate: begin with bargaining when you go to markets,
you will improve skills of persuading and debating.
Then, time management skill is one of f
vital skills for students.
You should have term calendars at the beginn
of a term, weekly schedules, daily schedules
to-do-list to make the best use of your time.
Finally, it is...
What should you do when you fail or have dif ficulties? Be silent or share your trouble with someone? No one can helpyou solve your pr oblems thor oughly. All are up to you.
List things which encourage you, for example: your favorite maxims, your idols, your previous failures, etc... Achieve small successes everyday: you should plan small targets everyday and finish them. They are motivations foryou to be more confident and have more elation for next plans.

The future is the field that I think no one
can know how it will be. Our own future life
belongs to ourselves. However, to some extent,
it also depends on our own luck. And I am sure
that all of us hope to have a beautiful life.
As for me, I wish I would have a settled and
happy life. Now I have a happy family with my
parents, my sister and my brother. All of us
always love and take care of each other, which
is enough for me.Furthermore, in the future, I expect to have
a good husband. I think maybe I will have a
perfect family.
Life in the future
Bui Thi Nhu Ngoc 09.1.E4
Now I am a first- year student at University of Languages
International Studies. In the future I will becom e a teacher. That me
if I try my best to study, I will get a good job. Moreover, teaching
been my dream since I was a child. As for me, there is nothing that c
make me happier than doing my favorite job. In addition, I love
hometown, which makes me want to live and work there. I want to dev
my ability to my beloved country.
I always feel happy because I have many friends who all the ti
stand by and help me whenever I have difficulties. They also share wi
me pleasure and experience in our life. I hope in the future
friendship will never change and we can be good friends forever.
I know, there are a lot of difficulties which I must overcome in t
future. Maybe I will have failure and sadness, however, I believe if
make effort I will get a good future life.

MY OPINION ABOUT UNIVERSITY
Written by Nguyen Huong Thao 09.E21
There is a famous quote, saying Life is the most effective school. It is undeniable that people often
uch from the reality ; however, from what I have experienced, I find myself warmly appreciate what
cademic schooling, especially the university, has taught me. Since I stepped into the university, I have lea
g lessons of active self-stydying and effective communication skills thanks to the knowledge I have learn a
niversity.
My first benefit from tertiary education is the ability to learn something by myself. As you may know,
udy is a must at university. In addition to attending various classes, I have to prepare for any of them; do
f reading, finish all the required exercises and assignments, make reports, do research, take part in seminars,
hese activities gradually build up my habit of self-study. This habit allows me to work independently
eatively in whatever field I choose to get involved in because I am able to gain further knowledge and
rough my own study.
Adding to that, I have also learned how to think clearly and express myself briefly and precisely. As pe
re getting busier and busier in their fast-track lives, I am always highly aware of saving time for both myself
e ones I communicate with. In order to save my time, I have to think as clearly and critically as I can. To
e precious time of whom I have an opportunity to communicate with, either orally or in the form of any wr
ocument, I always try my best to guarantee that what I say is brief, relevant, and clear enough to be unders
mmediately. In other words, I force myself to provide my listener or reader with as much information as need
uch a way that both my energy and his/her time and effort can be saved.
Generally speaking, people may hold different views on education: it is only a waste of time to some
others it is one of the inevitable/necessary factors strongly influencing their success or failure in life. I belo
e later, highly valuing what tertiary education brings to me. Therefore, it deserves my great efforts to meet aquirements, the initial requirements of any well-educated person.

The dream of being rich
A man is put in prison for 12 years. The first day in prison, he catches
an ant and has an idea: 12 years in prison will be really boring and
after that, I will be very poor. Why dont I teach this ant speaking
human language? And I will be financial! Yes! That is a wonderful
idea!
Then he embarks on his work immediately. After 12 years, his ant can
speak human language and he is released.The first free day after 12 years, he jumps into a luxury restaurant. He
sits at the table at the centre of the restaurant and put the ant in a
dish. He asks a waiter:
- What is this?
The waiter kills the ant by his finger and says:
- Im sorry! We will pay more attention to
food hygiene!!!!!!!!!!!!- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never teach a policeman!
In one sunny morning, after a stressful exam, my Math teacher
told us one real story, which happened to her when she was very
young...
On that day, she crossed over a red light and had to pay the
charge by an old judge of the traffic court. She explained to himthat she was a school teacher and she had to get back to her class,
so she asked the judge to take care of her case quickly.
"Well, well," the judge said. "So you are a school teacher? I have
been waiting for many years to fine a teacher in my court. Please sit
right down at that table and write, I will not run a red light again,
500 times." Thats it: Never teach a traffic policeman!
N oc 09E8 Reason!Three students were late for school. The teacher askethem:-Why d id you go to school late, guys?The students answered one by one.Student one said:-Teacher, because I got up late.
