atrangers.
The way we greet people depends on who they are. For example, to a friend we say
“Hello, Nien. How are you?”. But to teachers, for example, we say “Hello, Mr. Hung”, or “Good
morning, Ms. Minh”.
When we are introduced to someone it means we are meeting them for the first time.

your name?”. The other person would reply by saying “Hello, I’m Lan”.

PHU QUOC ISLAND
PHÚ QUỐC, known as Koh Tral by Cambodians, is the largest island of Vietnam. Situated in
the Gulf of Thailand, the island is part of Kiên Giang province. The district of Phú Quốc includes
the island proper and 21 smaller islets. The district seat, Dương Đông, which is located on the
west coast, is also the largest town on this island, whose total area is 593.05 km².
GEOGRAPHY

Verdant and topographically varied, the island offers the visitor an array for landscapes, ranging
from sandy beaches and coves to forested mountains, river plains and smaller islets which
together make up an archipelago of 26 islands. The island's variety extends to its maritime
heritage, Phu Quoc having both an active fishing industry and good quality coral reefs, most
notably to the south and northwest of the island.
The population, numbering around 85,000, has traditionally beeb associated with the sea, and the
island's most the striking cultural traits remain the fishing communities of the two main towns,
Duong Dong and An Thoi as well as host of smaller and very distinctive fishing villages dotted
around the island. The island has also however attracted considerable migration from to respond
to growing opportunities in the service industries spurred on by tourism.
In the centre and south much of the original lowland tropical evergreen forest cover has been
cleared leaving behind a mix of agricultural and secondary forest landscapes and a variety of
rural, settlements. These areas contrast with denser and more extensive rainforest areas in the
north which national conservation laws protect and whose scenery is particularly striking when
combined with the natural coasting and rivers.
Phu Quoc is geographically familiar to Vietnamese people, particularly in the south of the
country where its tropical island status and mountainous character contrasts sharply with the
flatlands of the Mekong Delta. Internationally it is an almost unknown destination, with only
specialist features of the island, notably the Phu Quoc fish sauce "nuoc mam", Phu Quoc pepper,
"ho tieu" and Phu Quoc dog (unique ridgeback breed) having and international recognition.
STRATEGIC LOCATION
Located 10-degree North latitude, Phu Quoc is a tropical island whose closest landing point in
Vietnam by sea is the town of Ha Tien, also in Kien Giang province and is 46 km away. Rach
Gia city, the capital of the province is 120 km away and be reached by sea and by air (25 minute
fly). Ho Chi Minh City is some 500 km away and is accessible by air (60 minutes fly).

ECONOMY
Phu Quoc is famous for its two traditional products: fish sauce and black pepper. The rich fishing
grounds offshore provides the anchovy catch from which the prized sauce is made. Pepper
cultivation is located inland in the center of the island. More recently a pearl farm was
established.
Tourism plays an important part of the economy with the beaches being the main attraction. Phu
Quoc is served by Phu Quoc Airport which air links to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)'s Tan Son
Nhat Airport and Rach Gia's Rach Gia Airport. A new international airport is going to be built
here. Phu Quoc is also linked with Rach Gia and Hà Tiên by fast ferry hydrofoils.
CLIMATE
The island's monsoonal sub-equatorial climate is characterized by distinct rainy (June to October)
and dry seasons (November to May). The annual rainfall is high averaging 2,879 mm. In the
northern mountains up to 4,000 mm have been recorded. April and May are the hottest months
with temperature reaching 35 °C. Trips to Phu Quoc can be made all year round, but the best
time is dry season when the sky is always sunny, clear and blue.
TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS
Phu Quoc has worldwide been famous for its two traditional products: the pepper and fish sauce.
The numbers are quite surprising: hundreds of fish sauce workshops (annual output: 10 million
liters) and countless pepper gardens (total area: 500 ha). Visitors to pepper gardens will be
captivated by word of "itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny coins" of patient growers while at fish sauce

waiting to be jammed with fresh fish. You will be tempted to try a few pungent green pepper
coins and half a spoonful of the tasty salty sauce.

******************************************************************
Today, I want to tell you about my sister. She is three years, older than me, and she is very funny
and helpful. She often helps me when I have problems. First, I want to tell you know her face and
the way she dresses. She has big eyes and a straight nose. She also has long hair and a small mouth.
She is thin and short. She likes wearing long dresses. Sometimes, she wears dresses that are so
beautiful that they make her looks like a film star.
During the last examinations, I had many lessons and exercises that I did not understand.
She knew it and she helped me study. She also taught me what I could not learn in the textbooks.
We like spending our time together. I remember last summer holiday, we went to the
beach for swimming. However when we arrived, I found that I had forgotten to bring my
swimming suit. I was so upset. To make me happy, she used half of her money to buy a new
swimming suit for me, and I think it was really expensive. It cost $200!
She is the person. Who is very important in my life because she always helps me and
understands me. She stands by me in good times and in bad times. I hope we will be very happy
in the future.
******************************************************************
Since school started, my daily routine has become very structured.

Every morning, I usually wake up at 6:30 or earlier. If I wake up before 7:00 am, I’ll stay in my
room until my mom calls me. At 7:00 am, I go downstairs. I brush my teeth, take a shower, get
dressed, and eat breakfast. I usually have breakfast with bread and eggs. After breakfast, I get
dressed, prepare my school bag and wait until the school bus comes.
At 7:30 am, my school bus arrives to take me to school. I like to go to school by school bus.
I go to school from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. The bus brings me back home at noon.

Once I get home from school, I usually have a snack with coca-cola, then I play with my
brother some more. Then it’s time for lunch. After lunch, I often take a nap by 2: 00 pm. If I
don’t take a nap, then I will go to bed early in the evening. I usually do my homework after that
nap. Most of my afternoon is either napping or doing my homework.
I usually eat dinner with my family at 6:00 pm. Then I watch TV until 7:00 pm. After
that I prepare my lessons for tomorrow. Finally, I brush my teeth and go to bed. My bedtime is
no later than 10:00 pm, though it is most often earlier than that.
