Topic 1: Transportation Vihicle

Every inventions also change the people’s lives. The transportation that play important role in people’s lives have progressed through inventions. People can use many kinds of transportation vihicle to move. Bycle, motobike and plane are some kinds of vihicle that people often use to move. In my point of view, I strongly that airplane has changed people’s lives deeply. Let me clarify it.

First of all, what deserve my attention is airplane changes the way people move. At the ancient peroid, human used their legs to move from this place to others. Thank to human’s intelligence, mankind has changed the way to move from walking to riding bycle. But it does not stop, people used science to invent other transportation vihicles. For instance, they are motobike, ship, car , airplane…. That is airplane satisfied people’s dream, which is to fly in the sky like a bird and with speed very fast. People can save a lot of time when they use flight to move. Therefore, using airplane can be consider a wise choice to move.

In the second place, airplane has changed place people come and work even travel. It is apparent that using airplane people can move to another place easily. It will be take me a month if I use ship to move from vietnam to american. But just 20 hours, I can put my foot on american through flight. Therefore, I can travel many countries in the world if I use airplane. Eventhough, I can work for internation company. Because flight will take me to my home whenever I want.

In Conclusion, people always care about the vihicle they use to move, which can help them saving time, feel comfortable and convenience. Using airplane can meet the people’s expectation. It not only change the way people move, but also the place people come, working and travel.

Topic 1 - transportation vehicle

One of the most important inventions of human is invention of transportation vehicles. There are various means of transportation like bikes, motorbikes, cars, aircrafts... People have benefited so much from these kinds of means. From my point of view, our life is influenced most by the creation of automobiles due to the two following reasons.

Firstly, automobiles have changed the way people travel. A car or a bus helps us go further and faster than using a bicycle. Or it could carries us to numerous places where a helicopter or an aircraft could not do. In fact, remote populations have greater chances to be reached to interact with modern cultures and things. The amount of time and cost for transportation is less than ever before. Furthermore, the mobility by automobiles are more comfortable than some kinds of vehicle. We could have soft seats with real leather, watch TV or news with a LCD monitor, avoid tough sunlight with air conditioner or a heavy rains... In reality, these kinds of benefit from cars or buses are less expensive than from an airplane. Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine how we go without cars.

Secondly, automobiles affect the way we do business so much. In commerce, goods carried by trucks or vans have being provided faster and further than ever. These means bringing goods can come to any corner on earth at any time. It means that manufactures or providers can open wider market areas. In construction, moving material by trucks can ensure the standard of transportation just-in-time. Helpfully, in remote areas, transportation by automobiles could speed up the building process. More importantly, the development of automobile industry creates marvelous effects. Hundreds of millions of US dollars, thousands of employments, and endless support industries and services have being generated by the growth of this mean. Through exporting automobile, receiving some outsourcing services like spare parts or component production... a nation, esp. a third-world country can reduce the unemployment rate, increase its GDP and develop its technology level... In deed, having jobs and income, a large amount of people could improve their living standards themselves.

It is undeniable that automobiles have revolutionized our life. We have changed the ways we transport and do business. The fast expansion of it is a big motivation for us to develop technology such as green fuel, electric cars...

Thanks Mr. Huan

I would like to send you my thanks for your advice, your farewell party, esp. your attendance at our class.

Through our conversations before beginning each lesson and interesting discussions during the time on class and on the way to parking lot, your thoughts, your consideration before making a decision, your advice... inspire me so much and give me a lot of helpful lesson.

It is regrettable that you are leaving our group. I really, really, really regret.

About our group, we are the persons who have full of excellent dreams and interesting purposes. We come to this group to learn and practice, but we lack of determination to make our target come true. As a result, our learning spirit is so low. I think that each of us should realize this fact and should face it directly to find a better way to work together.

Personally, I am a typical person who has vague purposes, unrealistic dreams... However, I do little think to tackle my own trouble. Shame on me. From your case, I urge myself to find solutions for my problems.

Once  again, thank you so such. I congratulate you on your decision. I really hope that you are always happy with your choice.

I am looking forward to meeting you at extra-activities of our group.

A goodbye letter and an invitation to farewell party

Dear my beloved friends,
It's really hard for me to write you this post but what I am trying to present hereunder is to inform you that I am leaving our class (not leaving you:D) since tonight.
Firstly, please accept my sincere apology for any inconvenience or disappointment my absence may cause. It's not only my new job, my new plan, my new intention but also my new thinking about what I am going to do in the coming short-term and long-term run. The decision to quit a certain goal must be an accumulation of intention and careful considerations. However, what I did, as I once mentioned, might possessed an important part of personal and emotional judgment. I cannot guarantee it is the best, or at least a wise choice, but what I believe now is that, it is a right choice that I must follow.
That's quite a lot about "me" and might show my irresponsibility about the class, but my leave can be a good case for you, I think. We can't ignore the fact that the quality of each meeting has showed poor preparation from the members. More importantly, the effort we spent on self studying and improving our test taking skills, and English as well, has not been good enough. Each of you has a different expectation of the outcome, but I wish that you can arrange better class from now on, given my absence.
One thing I can tell you confidently is that I see the strong inner motivation from many of you. That's really the fresh desire for personal development and the good for the future. It's good that you have it now but it's really a great pity if you lose that desire in the next few years when you put your feet on the professional workplace. What we finally appreciate ourselves is not just about how happy our family is, not about how much money we gain, or how big our house is, or... how fast and expensive car we drive,... as many young Vietnamese professionals are going crazy for now; but how much we are really being sincere to ourselves and how truthful we express our actions to achieve our expectations.
and.........
I would like to invite you to a small farewell party tonight and I hope you can feel better by switching a regular bland practice to a speaking opportunity with delicious food. The party, with your permission of course, will be decided by the board of members at Summit - our frequent place and at the frequent time 6:30.
More interesting stories to be continued....
Yours,
Huan Le

An essay for a cool day :D

Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to be a member of a group than to be the leader of a group. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

There has appeared endless discussion over the social position. Some people are crazy being a leader, while others find being a member a great marvel. In my point of view, I think that the former is my great choice. Let me clarify it by following essay.

First and foremost, what I put on my priority is power. It is easy to be seen that when one hold high position, he can obtain the power in the company. He is always who gives every decisions that he want to do. For instance, as a director in a company, he must give the way to develop the operation business of company or give change the business strategy etc… It is hard to give a decision in work if he is a member. Therefore, we can say that the leader of a group or a company, he can do everything that he feel it is better for the group or company.

The second place, what convince me is high status. It is widely known that a leader often has influence and respect from others. apparently, becoming a leader or high position is everyone’s wish. They consider that a leader is intelligent and proficient person. Hence, they always wish that in some days they can become a leader and be respected by people. For example, I work in the company as an director assistant, I usually work with my director. I feel that he is a great man. He is not only a talented and expert person, but also is humorous and dedicated one. So I consider him as my idol and want to become a person like him in the future.

Last but not least, what deserve my attention is high income. It is apparent that the more people hold higher position, the more the people get higher salary. Because, a leader have a lot of responsibilities and has to give important decision that not anyone can give out. Moreover, as I mentioned above paragraph, a leader usually is talented and proficient person. Hence, the higher salary for him is suitable.

In conclusion, there are a lot of jobs that everyone can take. They can choose to become leaders or members. In my point of view, I want to become a leader because it not only offer me high salary and give me high status, but also give me the power. I strongly believe that leader can help people improve themselves.

To all members in group

I am so sorry for my absence. it was two weeks i did not meet you. Today, i am very eager to go to class to see ya. Unfortunately, i have to guard my home for my parent go to hometown. when i stay at home, i have a lot of time, therefore i don't want to waste it. Hence, i did write an essay. i know that my essay has many errors at using word and expression as well as grammar. I hope you can check it for me. And if you have other essay that you want to be checked, please post it on the blog.

QUESTION; Some people prefer to work for a large company. Others prefer to work for a small company. Which would you prefer? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.

There has appeared controversy over the working place. Some people show strongly advantage of working for a large company, while others believe that working for a small company is a wise choice. In my point of view, I think the latter is my great choice. Let me clarify it by following essay.

First and foremost, what I put on my priority is working environment. When I choose the company that I want to work for, I always put working environment as the first criteria. Everyone always wants to work for a company that has healthy working environment. It will be more accommodating when co-workers are friendly and always help each others. It can be seen perspective if a new comer who has not working experience work in team with strict co-workers. He or she will be stress by working in unfriendly and uncomfortable environment.

In addition, what deserves my attention is ongoing education. Indeed, in the large company, employee is always supplied training courses and conferences. Because the budget is set, employee is often required to spend it. It is good chance to improve professional work and it help employee to be a excellent one at work. Moreover, training courses and conference also are golden opportunities to meet and discuss with great people. after each courses, they can have more networking and friends, which help them a lot of work as well as social life.

Last but not least, High salary and promotion draw much of my attention. It is the fact that the large company often offers higher salary than small one. Salary is always priority to who has difficult economic. People always hope that they will be received high salary. That is not only improve their life, but also assert their status to others. Moreover, when working for a large company, employee can get promotion easier than small one. Because the big company has a lot of positions whereas small one has limited position. It is also motivation that helps people who work for big company advocating their spirit to work.

To sum up, it is a wise choice to work for a big company. It is not only supply a good working environment and ongoing education, but also offer high salary and easier get promotion when working for a big company.
