Which three of your daily activities might be interesting to someone from another country? Why do
you think they might be interesting?

People often ask what my daily routines looks like. This is always a hard question to answer, but I see
the values of these activities in my life. This can be a challenge to list three of my daily activities might be
interesting to someone from another country because routines are all about you and your personality,
so they must vary from person to person.

Actually, daily activities are not really fun, creative or imaginative. But they can do a lot of benefits,
especially with foreigners – not because they’re the way to experience a day, but rather they may help
them consider what they really impress on our country.

Everyday doesn’t look exactly the same for me, but there are three of my daily activities as
presented below I think the foreigners find them interesting:

Firstly, reading something is really one of the most interesting activities I found I my daily routines.
This can be a novel, newspaper or any nonfiction books which can bring you peace and give the way to
achieve your ambition. I like what Thomas Carlyle said:

“All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in pages of book.”

So reading skill is really important, and foreigners may find interesting with Vietnamese books,
which can help them to know more about our history, architecture, music, fashion and language.

Secondly, I think foreigners may love gardening. This kind of activity is popular in many parts of the
world. It gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers, freshfruits and vegetables. But it also gives
us health benefits. Gardening can greatly a wonderful time to get outside and get dirty. It gets you
outdoors and off computers, televisions and other electronics and also gives an effective way to widen a
person’s community. Especially, gardening in Vietnamese style is much fun than in other countries
because of the warm weather and fresh atmosphere.

Finally, as our lives come to be more and more convenient, fast foods are more harmful than
beneficial to our health. So I find cooking meal is the only way to protect myself and I think foreigners
may find it interesting to learn how to make traditional Vietnamese food. A classic example of a
Vietnames dish that mixes historical cultural influences, which is found all over Vietnam and, indeed,
anywhere in the world with Vietnamese immigrant population, this is PHO. Moreover, by learning how
to cook Vietnamese food can make foreigners know more about a melting pot of hundreds of different
communities and cultures.

In conclusion, everyday in our lives is unique and different. Having something interesting things to
do may help foreigners to be happier. So with the three daily activities that I have suggested, I hope that
they may find them interesting and even wanting to experience if they have chances to visit Vietnam.
