HI,MR BINH.I THINK OUR SPEAKING CLASS WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE IF:FIRST, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE SEATS FOR STUDENTS REGULARLY.IT MAKES ALL THE STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER ALTERNATIVELY(NOT THE OLD GROUPS WORK AGAIN).ALSO,IT MAKES THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE CLASS MORE EXCITING AND PLEASANT.SECOND,YOU SHOULD CORRECT THE WRONG PRONUNCIATION AND INTONATION AFTER THE ROLE-PLAY.IT MAKES THE STUDENTS REALISE THEM AND MAKES THE OTHERS UNDESTAND BETTER WHAT THEY MEANT OR HOW THEY FEEL.SO,IT'S JUST MY OPINION!I HOPE OUR SPEAKING CLASS WILL BE MORE AND MORE EXCITING!

THE READING CLASS

The Reading class on 26/3 is really interesting. Ms Hoa told us many funny stories about the stereotype, a fixed idea about a type of peson or thing,which is often not true in reality.Especially, I like the story about "The sinking ship", it's really amusing. The story is about the ship which was shinking and the captain was very anxious because he didn't know how to persuade the passengers to jump out of the ship to save it from sinking. A sailor decided to take this responsibility. First, he talked to the Russian: " Jumping out of the ship is a revolutionary action". The Russian who always love revolution jumped out of the ship immediately. Next, he talked to the German: "Jumping out of the ship is an order", so they also did what he said. Then, he talked to the English: "Jumping out of the ship is a new sport". The English love sport very much, so they also did it. Afterwards, he met the France and talked to them: "Jumping out of the ship is an action proving your romantic love." And can you guess what happened? All of the passengers did what the tailor said and the ship was saved. The story talked about the characteristics of nations in the world that everyone believe that is true. But it's often not true at all. So, it is our "stereotype". After her stories, I find this word easy to understand. Hei, there is also a funny thing I want to tell you. When the teacher was teaching, a "beautiful voice" of someone in other class singing loudly made all the class feel very humorous.So, do you agree with me that the reading class is really exciting?

Sakura in Japanese language means cherry blossom, that sympolizes for the beauty of the soul. If someone give you this flower, that means your soul is very pure,beautiful and gentle.Sakura is also the name of a lovely girl,the main character in the famous manga " Card captor Sakura" that we love very much. The friendship between the girl and other characters is very good and we hope everyone who comes to this blog will be our good friend too. We welcome all of your comments to make this blog become a sakura paradise- the place gathering many good things and many lovely friends.

The first period

This's my first entry. It talks about the first period with my speaking teacher_Mr Binh. He's myopic, tall, a little fat and jovial. At first, i thought that he 's so strict actually. But a little later i changed my mind.
He said that he couldn't remember names of all members in our class. So, " please, write your name on a paper and put it before you". (some of students said :"we can stick it on our forehead").
He spoke a little faster than Ms Hoa(not much). But sometimes i didn't catch his words actually. He requested us to do a blog, make a presentation with power point. At first, i thought it's so complicated and difficult to do. But now i think it's a chance for me to learn more about information technology. Good for me, good for students.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY

Women's Day is to appreciate those who have the biggest but quietest influence in our lives. It can be mom who balances work and home beautifully or grandma who stuns us with her spirit and courage. It can be teacher who teaches us new knowledge and open our eyes to the world.It might be our daughter, sister or our friend! These women touch our lives and make it better! They make us believe in the value of life. On Women's Day, let's wish them with funny, warm and meaningful ecards or lovely gifts to let them know how important they are!

Finally, wishing you a wonderful day as you are.
