A typical week of mine | Hồ Minh Châu

Every weekday morning, my alarm goes off at 7.30 am in the morning. It’s quite late because my school starts in the afternoon. Moreover, I’m a night owl so I prefer to do my work the previous evening instead of waiting until the next morning.

My morning routine is very simple. After getting up, I go to the bathroom and have personal hygiene quickly by washing up and brushing my teeth. However, if the weather is hot, I’d like to take a shower early in the morning. After that, I go downstairs and have breakfast with my mom. My school life is quite pressured so after having breakfast, I go upstairs again and start doing my homework and preparing for my lessons in the afternoon.

My school finishes at 5.15 pm. My mom usually picks me up because she also finishes her work at the same time. I sometimes help her with house chores when I have no extra classes to go to. In my family, every member shares the housework equally.

I prefer to relax after having dinner to do my homework immediately. I always try to balance my work and fun so hardly do I feel pressure except days of exams. Therefore, I usually watch TV together with my family. Before going to bed at about 11.30 pm, I do my homework. Another reason that I have said earlier is that I’m a night owl. I cannot sleep when it’s just around 9 or 10 pm.

On the weekend, I try to keep myself away from books and notes.  I have been working hard all weekdays so why can’t I give myself a day off? And then my following week can start in a much more productive way.

My trip to Hue | Tran Xuan Bao Phuc

      Recently, I visited my hometown in Hue. It was a great opportunity since I wanted to learn more about Hue and visit my grandma.    After the bus had taken me to the wrong place, my dad took me back home and I had dinner. Then I played games on my computer while my dad was preparing for the trip. The next day, my dad took me to Dai Noi. It was a large flat ground with a lot of grass of course. We did some exercises and I asked some questions about Dai Noi. My dad answered all the questions then we had some breakfast and went back home. While I was playing games on my computer, my dad did some cooking, he planned to go to the beach in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon, I and my dad went to the beach and then enjoyed the wind and we swam through the wave. After we went back home, my dad planned to go to the mountain for swimming in the stream. The next day, I and my dad went to a restaurant at a stream. We swam there and had a nice meal. After that...

Why do we need to practise the three Rs?

An essay by Hồ Minh Châu Environmental pollution is one of the hottest topics of debate nowadays. It’s almost caused by people’s behavior and the three Rs exist for that. Firstly, we need to reuse things around us like a water bottle, a shopping bag or even an old book by giving them to the younger, we’ll save money and help some trees from being cut down. Secondly, stop using plastic or nylon bags. It needs at least 400 to 1,000 years to be disposed of. Instead, we can use reusable bags or vacuum bottle cans also environmentally friendly and keep water cold from morning to night at the same time, it’s a great choice in this season. Besides single-use things, we need to reduce the use of electricity and water, too. Remember to turn off the light when you leave the room, close the fridge door, and don’t let the water run unless you really need to. And last but not least, try to recycle something around you. You can turn a plastic bottle into a nice plant pot or a beautiful flower ...
