TED

A video I listened is about "body language". This video shows how body language affects on humans. Actually, people really concern about others' body language because it shows our feelings as well as our thinking. Moreover, people has power or don't have power, body language will show all of them on their actions, even you don't feel confident. Therefore, it can influence on your success a lot. In addition, body language can help people communicate to each other even though they don't have to talk. Most importantly, humans can know others' behaviors, and they can conclude that person is good or not by keeping an eye on his or her body language.

In my opinion, body language is very important to humans because it help people attract others. For instance, if we use body language on presentation, everybody will pay attention more than we don't. Moreover, it shows our thinking and feeling because when we feel happy, obviously, we are going to smile, or when we are confident, we will show a strong actions before other people. Therefore, body language is really vital as well as necessary for people. According to Amy Cuddy, "your body shapes you are". That is absolutely true. 

Spring holiday

My country also has spring break like in the US. However, it takes place in February not March or April, and it has the other name is Tet holiday as well. Actually, that holiday is quite similar to Lunar New Year. In general, children and adult will have around 13 days to take a break. On that days before Tet holiday comes, people will re-decorate their house, buy new clothes, and cook traditional food to prepare for Tet holiday. 

When the holiday begins, everybody will go to pagodas or churches to pray some good things for their family. After that, they will get together in their ancestor's house to worship and eat traditional food on the first day of the holiday. After having lunch together, children will talk some good things for adults; and then, they will be given lucky money as well as good wishes from adults. Actually, that is the best thing children is always excited when Tet holiday comes. Therefore, it is similar to Lunar New Year, and it is called the spring break like America in Vietnam as well.

Besides that, they also went to some beautiful islands in Brazil. They enjoyed this vacation very well and felt happy. And during these days, John found amazing thing that made he never forget. 

On one day, John found a dolphin on a beach in which is very great in Brazil. However, the dolphin got sick, it didn't have enough energy to do anything. The problem is that dolphin can't eat anything because of so many cavities in its teeth. Therefore, he decided to try to treat for this illness by cleaning its teeth, although he is not a dentist. One thing that made he very surprise that the dolphin is so cute, it always listened his request. Finally, the dolphin felt better and can eat food. After that day, he felt very happy because he helped the dolphin that he has never done it before.

  

Confession

When I was young, I really preferred to wear man's clothes. However, my parents didn't want me to do it. They always forced me to wear dresses, or skirts because they didn't want me look like a man. I felt embarrassed when I went out with my friends. Therefore, I used to be angry with my parents because they didn't understand my thinking. I am not a boy, I just want to do something that I like and I feel convenient. Thus, I decided to wear some clothes are very simple, of course, not dresses or skirts.

When I went to high school, I changed my mind. I saw my friends are very girly. They know to do something that make them more beautiful. That's why, I have understood what my parents did for me. I fixed by myself, I have tried to wear girl's clothes and shoes. It was difficult to me but now, I feel okay with them, hihi. And sometime, I look back in the past, I was so ridiculous because I wasn't a girl when I was child ^^. 

Rome wasn't built in a day

"Rome wasn't built in a day" is the proverb that I like the most, for it has the wonderful meaning. In fact, this proverb's mean is you can't be successful in a short time, you have to take your time and try your best to do it, and then, the success will come to you. In my country, we also have one proverb has the same meaning with this one. That is "practice makes perfect".

I experienced about this proverb when I was 18 years old. At that time, I had to study a lot to graduate in high school. You know, it was very difficult because I really hate history, It has so many details I have to memorize. Unfortunately, history was one of 6 subjects that I had to take the final exam. It was terrible, I had to study a whole book's history that is very thick. I thought I can't do it; however, I did it very well. The reason why I can pass it is because I took my time a lot, and tried to study it everyday. When I forgot something, I went back and studied them again. Day to day, I got so many details about history. As a result, I graduated in high school with the high scores.

Therefore, in my opinion, nothing is impossible. We can do everything and it will be success, if we give up, we will be a loser.   

CHRISTINE :)

My name is Thuy, you guys can call me Christine. I will introduce about myself in this topic. I come from Vietnam, which is located nearby China, Laos and Cambodia. I am 20 years old and my major is Business Administration. 

I have been in the US for 5 months and now, I live in Anaheim city with my older sister. The reason why I chose America to study abroad is because I know there are so many countries in the US, I can learn a lot of cultures with them as well as improve English. In addition, America is a developed country on the world, so it can support me in studying my major.

My hobbies are the same with the other teenagers, such as listening music, going shopping, chatting and sleeping. Most importantly, I really like traveling because I want to expand my mind by learning other cultures and taste different kinds of food on the world.
