Diary of looking for immovables

What a bad week for me. Last week, I had decided to go to Son Tay district, Hanoi for a looking of a real estate after receiving an information from the mother of my friend. She told me that there is a house which is near her home and the household wanted to seld the estate with the reasonable price which I could manage if I would like to buy it. I am so interested in this news, because I have taken a lot of time going around to find some place like that to invest the amount of money I have suitably. But, I think I do not lucky enough:). The point is at the night she called me, I had decided to visit the place at the following day. I told myself that the house maybe good because its position is near the home of my friend which is very nice place I am sure.

At the morning of the following day, she called me again and told me that due to bar weather, therefore, she suggested that I should take the plan for a visiting at the weekend. I quite disappointed but I agreed at last. I have went to there with my colleague at HIM, he is very intelligent and have much more experience in this topic than me. He agreed to go to there with me,

Fiction help us develop our creativity. when we read stories, we try to imagine what the places and characters look like. we try to image what it feels like to live a character’s life. Developing creativity is just as important as knowing a lot of facts.

topic 117: Some people choose friends who are different from themselves. Others choose friends who are similar to themselves. Compare the advantaged of having friends who are different from you with te advatages of having friends who are similar to you. Which kind of friends do you prefer for yourself? Why?

There are alot of advantages to having friends who are different from you. They can introduce you to new food, books, and music. They can present you with a different way of looking at the world. However, there are times when you need a friend who really understand you. That is why I enjoy having all kinds of friends-both those who are different from me and those who are similar.

Someone who is different from you can show different ways of looking at things. If you tend to be a spontaneous person, a scheduled person can help you be more organized. And you can help that person loosen up a bit at times, too. If you are impatient, a patient friend can help you calm down. If oyu are a little bit timid, an assertive friend can help you develop more self-confidence.

Someone who has different states from you can introduce you to the new things. A friend might persuade you to read a book that you thought you wouldn’t like. Afriend might get you to try new kinds of food. You can share your different tastes and interests with your friends, too. Together, you can dare to try new things.

There are times, however, when you really need a friend who is similar to you. Sometimes you get tired of compromising on what you want to do. You want to be with someone who has the same states as you do. A friend who is similar to you probably has the same reactions to situations as you do. Therefore, if you feel unhappy, a friend who is similar to you can understand just why you feel that way.

Friends who are different from you have a lot of offer. Friends who are similar to you offer something else. That is why it is important to know all kinds of people.

116: people learn in different ways. Some people learn by doing things, other people learn by listening to people talk about things, some people learn by reading about things. Which of these methods of learning is best for you? Use specifc reasons and examples to support your answer.

I have never been able to learn well from reading or listening to someone talk. My mind wanders and I can’t grasp the situation. The best way for me to learn is by doing things. It helps me understand and remember information better, and it is much more interesting for me than reading and listening.

Doing things helps me understand. Someone may explain to me how a musical instrument works, for example. I don’t really understand this, however, until I try to play ithe instrument myself. Then I can hear and see how the sounds is made. I can feel how hard I have to make the sound I want. Or I could read a recipe in a cookbook. But I don’t really understand how to prepare the food until I try to cook it myself.

Doing things help me remember. A teacher could explain some grammar rules to me, but its hard for me to remember them. However, when I practice using the grammar rules by speaking the language, then I will remember them better. The more I speak the language, there better I remmenber the rules. I could also read about math formulas in a book. But I can’t remember them unless I use them to try to solve some math prpblems.

Doing things holds my attention. When I listen to a lecture, my thoughts wanders to other things and I don’t hear the information at all. When I read something, It is hard for me to follow the ideas unless I concentrate really hard. When I do something, on the other hand, I am always interested in it. I have to pay attention because I am the one who is doing it.

We all have our own learning styles. For me, it is clear that I learn best by doing things. It is the only way I can really focusmy attention on information, understand it and remember it.

115: Some people prefer to plan activities for their free time very carefully. Other choose not to make any plans at all for their free time. Compare the benefits of planning free-time activities with the benefits of not making plans. Which do you prefer-planning or not planning for your leisure time? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choice.

My frree time is very valuable. I don’t have a lot of free time, so I want to be sure to spend every minutes of it well. Therefore, I always try to make plans ahead of time. In this way, I don’t waste any of my free time, I have a chance to make any necessary preparations, and I can invite my friends to join me.

If I make a plan for the weekend ahead of time, I don’t waste any of my free time trying to decide what to do. If I don’t have a plan, I might spend all morning thinking about the different things I could do. BEfore I knew it, half of the day would be gome. I would lose half my free time making decisions and it would be too late to start a lot of activities.

If I make a plan for the weekend ahead of time, I can also make my preparations ahead of time. Then I can spend whole weekend just enjoying myself. For example, if I want to a picnic, I can have my food all prepared beforehand. If I want to go to a concert, I can get my tickets ahead of time. By making plans ahead of time, I am sure I will be ready to do just what I want to do.

If I make a plan for the weekend a head of time, it’s easier to invite friends to join me. If I wait until the last minute, my friends might already have plans to do something else. If I make plans ahead of time, I can invite any friends I want to. And even if those particular friends are already busy, I still have time to invite somebody else.

It’s always best to plan anything ahead of time. I think it is especially important to plan free time, because my free time is my best time. I want to enjoy every minute of it.

114:Some people think that family is the most important influence on young adults. Other people think that friends are the most important influence on young adults. Which view do you agree with? Use examples to support your opinion.

Although friends make an impression on your life, they do not have the same influence that your family has. Nothing is as important to me as my family. From them, I learned everything that is important. I learned about trust, ambition, and love.

Your family is with you forever. They are not going to leave you because they find another daughter or boy they like better. They are not going to leave you because they think you are too much trouble. Friends come and go, but a family is permanent. You can always trust your family.

Your parents are your role models. They will encourage you to do your best, to push yourself, and to improve yourself. Friends want you to stay the same; they don’t want you to be different. Your family is ambitious for you. Friends are not.

A family’s love is not judgemental. They love you for everything you are. Friends may love you because you have a new car, or because you got out with them on Saturday evenings. Friends may only like you, but your family loves you.

Without my family, I wouldn’t know what to do. I wouldn’t feel as secure. I might not have ambition to go to school. I peobably would afraid to love. My family is my greatest influence.

113: the government has announced that it plans to build a new university. Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your community. Use specific details in your discussion.

A university can contribute a lot of good things to our community, but it also brings some disadvantages. If we build a university here, it would brings jobs, culture, and interesting new people to our town. On the other hand, it would also destroyed land, cause traffic problems, and be a burden on city services. There are two sides to every story.

A university would brings jobs, but it would also destroy land. During construction, the university would have to hire carpenters to help run and maintain the campus. We needs jobs in our community, so this is big advantages. On the other hand, the university needs land to build on. Would they take over one of our city parks, or tear down some of our houses? Either way, they would destroy things that we use and enjoy now.

The university would bring culture to our community, but it would also bring crowds. The community could take advantage of events at the university such as concerts, lectures, and exhibits. But a lot of people from all over would also attend these events. They would fill our streets with traffic and cause parking problems. Our community would no longer be q quite place.

The university would bring interesting people , but it would also cause a burden on our city services. People such as professors, researchers, and visiting lecturers would work at the university. They are sure to contribute a lot to our community life. However, they are also sure to have families. They will need houses, schools, and transportation. How can our city suddenly provide services for a lot of new residents?

A university would bring many advantages to our city, but it would also have some big disadvantages. The fact is, we already have two universities here and I don’t think we need any more.

112: Some people think that children should begin their formal education oat a very early age and should spend most of their time on their school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?

Should a children spend more time on school studies or more time on play? The answer to this question depend on the quality of the school and the quality of the play. Wherever children spend their time, they should be active participants, not passive observers.

Not all schools are the same. In some schools, children must sit quietly all day and memorize dates and facts. In other schools, children are encouraged to participate in different kinds of activities. They are encouraged to ask questions, to interact with other children, and to experience things.

Not all students play the same way. Some children prefer to watch TV or video games. Other children enjoy games that involve physical activities, using imagination, or playing with other children.

Not all children are the same, but all children have the same requirements for learning. They learn when their minds and their bodies are active. They learn when they socialize with other children. They can do these things during school time or during play time. It doesn’t matter when or where they do these things, it only matter that they do them.

Children can learn a lot from formal education and they can learn a lot from play. Parents needs to make sure that the time their children spend in school is quality time. They need to make sure that the time their children spend at playing is also quality time. Then they can feel assured that their children are getting the experiences they need to learn and grow.

111: Some people prefer to spend time with one or two close friends, others choose to spend time with a large number of friends. Compare the advantages of each choice. Which of these two ways of spending time do you prefer? Use specific reasons to support your answer.

We all need to have friends, and I think the more friends we have the better. When you have alot of friends, you are never alone. You will always have people who will entertain you, people you can trust, and people who teach you about life.

I want to have a lot of people I can have fun with. If I have a lot of friends, I always have people to laugh and joke with me. I have people to go to the movies or the mall with me. I have people to go to parties with me. If I have only a few friends, they might be busy when I want to do these things, or they might not enjoy some of the things I enjoy.

I need to have a lot of people I can trust. If I have problems, I want to share it with several friends. If I make a mistake or fail a test or have a fight with my parents, I needs my friends to help me. I want to be able to pick up the phone and I know I can easily find some friends to talk with. If I have only a few friends, they might not be available when I need them.

I like to have alot of people who teach me about life. If I have a lot of friends, I have a lot of different people to learn from. Each peoson has different experiences and different points of view. I can learn a lot of things from a lot of different people. If I have only few friends, I will see only a few points of view.

I like to have a lot of friends around me-. I like to have fun with them and to learn from them and to know that I can rely on them. My life is better because of all the friends I have.

110: Some people prefer to spend most of thei time alone. Others like to be with friends most of the time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

I cannot understand people who like to be alone. I always choose to be with frienfd whenever possible. My friends keep me company, they are enjoyable to talk with, and they teach me new things. I always feel good when I spend time with friends.

My friends keep me from feeling lonely. If I want to do something, I invite friend or friends and we do it together. It is fun to go to the movies, shopping, or even to the library to study with friends. It isn’t fun to do anything alone.

I like talking with my friends. If I have a problem, I talk it over with my friends and they help me solve it. If something interesting happens to me, I share it with my friends. They share their problems and experiences with me, too.

I learn a lot from ny frienfs. A friends might invite me to a movie that I haven’t ever heard of. A friend might tell me about a trip she took or a book she read. A friend might have different points of view about a political issue. I learn alot of new and interesting things by sharing with my friends.

Friends make our lives richer. They keep us company, share their problems and experiences with us, and teach us many things. Life would be sad and lonely without friends.
