it's such a long time

It's such a long time that I come across this page.

The memory of yesterday seems all gone;

but then when reflecting back, I feel regretful;

I know one or two years later, if I look back, I will absolutely regret more.

Time may be our friend or our voe;

It's us who decides where our happiness is.

I have many sad stories, but now I decide not to remember;

It's all about the past. Now is the present, we must shy away from it.

To feel the miracle of time and nuture, to make alive every bit of us, we must self-control and be different.

Let be the change you want to see in the world!!

OUR CLASS'S ROLE - PLAY

After practising and hoping alot,all groups brought out their own products.Our class's role play was taken play yesterday-the nice day.
I honestly to say that it's a big and sucessful.Fisrt, i say something in general : the preparing was very good, well-acted.Therefore many groups used music ,the clothes fitted with the members that made me very excited.
Now i look back and recover the role-play.There are some personal opinions about each group.But i want to say my group first.I think it's bad if compared with others group.We said shortly and didn'd have so much expressions.We had many problems but i want to hear from you - my friends.
The role-play began with " E -girl" ; it is successful presentation:the clothes was well-prepared,the pronunciation was good especially Nghi and Thuy.A fairy tale in modern.
The second was G7 : good music but i think your voice was low.
The third was ours that i said before
The fourth was Sakura with modern problem in many families nowaday.The story familiar with" Alex Mark" which i have ever seen on television.Your acting was good.
The fifth was "Four leaf clover" group.I like your story much : the lovely pigs with a wolf .Your acting was excellent .The content was humorous.It made me laugh alot and you used many expressions.
Finally was "How to smile to life" with" Modern Tam -Cam".I was so surprised because Quan - played the mother i laugh but i didn't hear many sentences while Mai was crying and Oand said a little bit fast.
Certaintly nothing is perfect, no one is perfect .Although we didn't use many expressions which we have studied ,we had many experiences.Every members tried the best with sweat and preparing,I hope we will many role plays in future.

Preparation for role play

We started to prepare for our role play 2 weeks ago. It's quite difficult for us to write the script and to act appropriately, because all of us have never join in any play before. Anyway, we tried hard and practised diligent. We had much difficulties in acting, but we also had fun together. In my view point, role play is a good chance for us to act as a dramatic actors/actresses. It could bring all the members in a group together, and I think it will make all the members in our class close up. Do you think as I do ?

JOURNAL FOR PRESENTATION!!!!-new version

-Hey! Are you feel relieved ? Yes! We have just finished our given task, I am sure that you have many thoughts about that. So let’s share!

-You know before the presentation performance, we were really nervous. We really didn’t have enough preparation, you know: first, it’s too urgent; second, we lacked experience. Fortunately, Mr Binh knew all about that, as far as I remember he said that was the first time so you shouldn’t think that you don’t perform well, just relaxed and tried your best. So I tried, and I talked to myself “It doesn’t matter that your presentation isn’t the best, all you need to do is to conquer yourself”. Thus, I went to the stage with an air of confidence and then I left on behalf of a winner. Now, I think that I have nothing to regret. I don’t care what the other people think or say.

-Let turn to our presentation. Truth be told, there are many outstanding members in our class. For instance: Ms Nghi really has a good voice and an original style, she likes a typical teacher; or Ms Vy, she has a good voice too, and she used it effectively and so naturally, besides that Mr Hiep is really creative while Mr Tuan had a good effort last week and so on, you know I can’t name all here.

-I think that all presentations are also special and well prepared. If only there hadn’t had any sound problem, they would have been better. After the performance, I found that it’s necessary to have the solidarity among group members. We should forget our personal characteristic to blend with group spirit. It’s too hard I think so. But once you can, there’s nothing can prevent you from success.

-Mr Binh didn’t have any comment on our group, it made me a little bit sad. Maybe he didn’t pay attention to our group so it caused him nothing to say, or maybe we are so normal. May be, may be not.

-Lessons from friends:
+ 4 clovers: a ready group. They tried to protect themselves from our teacher’s misunderstanding successfully. So never give up when you know you’re right.
+ Sakura…: a nearly perfect group. They knew how to promote each member’s strength.
+How to smile to life: a funny group. They made a friendly sense in class. Their power _point was also beautiful.
+G7…: a creative group. Their clips are so lovely. So always try to renew yourself.
+ E-girls: an E-group… an energetic group. They prepared their presentation so carefully and they were really active.
-Lessons from our teacher:+ It’s crucial to prepare your presentation with all your heart and your head
+ It’s important to search information on the highway
+ It’s vital to have a good picture with appropriate to the example
+ It’s an indispensable thing to interact with your audience.
+It’s critical not to take advantage of technology excessively.
+It’s essential to be creative.
+You had better lecture than just read.
+ And last you need to have a good journal.

PREPARING FOR THE POWER -POINT

It's the first time our group present power point before the class.We felt very nervous .So we discussed alot in order to find the best way to finish it.We had to share the work to each other.
Dan was responsible for collecting ordering the expression.I seached for the pictures and the music on the internet.Hong found some conversations which had the expression.Lai and Hong were charged of the presentation.
Finally,we synchronized the imformation we had found to be full_done.We tried our best for the power point.I personally think we can get good mark or not we still successfull in co-operating.

After the situation was given every member of our class discussed alot. Each gave many different solutions.Our group's solution wasn't so good but we could learn many things in the real life.After the situation we can learn the relevant lesson

Reading newspaper

Journal_
Do you often read the English language newspapers?
What do you read newspapers for?
Which section of a newspaper would you prefer to read?

These are some questions appearing in my mind after Speaking period with Mr Thanh Binh.In class,the teacher give us lots of topics to discuss.We all have freedom of speech,either agree or disagree.There are some topics I can speak fluently with conclusive proofs such as 'Advertising is great fun' or 'Household pets are disgusting',but there are also some topics I have no idea or do not know how to express my thoughts,for instance, 'Developing nuclear power is essential' , 'Soft drugs like marijuna should be legalized' or 'Women's liberation is ridiculous' .In other words,I am lacking of knowledge of the outside world,especially the one relating to politics,science,human right...Not only I but also some my classmates suffer from this problem.

To solve it,I think we should collect as much information as possible and update it regularly through means of communication.Among the means,newspapers play an important role.According to Wikipedia, "A newspaper is a written publication containing news, information and advertising, usually printed on low-cost paper called newsprint. General-interest newspapers often feature articles on political events, crime, business, art/entertainment, society and sports."
In my opinion,the purspose of newspapers is to provide us with the daily news happening in the country & around the world.We also learn so many things interesting from article on culture as well as new life styles.So,keep yourselves reading ,your common knowledge will increase day by day.And then,you will not feel outside but involve yourselves in any talks,because at that time you always have something to discuss or debate firmly.
Thanks to newspapers,our mind,point of view,and reasoning power are also enriched.It's really help,especially in Speaking subject.
You can read the newspapers issued every day such as:the Young People newspaper,or the Youth newspaper because it have a lot of useful information on universities,youth's activities,and part-time jobs, or you can choose the weekly newspapers:the Vietnam News,the Saigon Times...

If you don't like the idea of old newspapers piling up on your shelves,you can access the Internet or surf Google news ,where you select from thousands of information sources.

There are some address you can drop in http://voanews.com/ or http://www.cnn.com/ I hope reading newspaper is really an opportunity for us to increase our vocabularies as well as knowledge to a level where we can use English effectively in this semester.
