I’m going to describe a conflict between two of my friends.
If my memory serves me well, It was about 6 years ago when we engaged in a voluntary
activity involving building rooms for school and teaching English for the disadvantaged
children in Quang tri province which is….
So, on a daily basis we needed to hold lots of conversations to discuss and figure out
suitable teaching methods as well as the design of the rooms. At first, every thing had gone

it comes to choosing the right material for English lessons, the argument broke out
between the leader and an American friend. They both came up with different ideas …..
Everything just came to an end when the supervisor gave sound advice. He decided to give
them time to experiment the chosen materials ……………
In terms of my feeling, well, I would say I was quite anxious in the first place as I was afraid
they might pick a fight with each other when both of them just lost their cool but I also
thought that this incidence was partly a positive sign since people put all of their efforts
into the project.

increase the risk of getting cancer for humans.
• In terms of my feeling, I am satisfied with this law because this contributes significantly to cleaning our air instead of smog
blanketing the sky most of the time in megacities. However, I am concerned that the government must make lots of efforts
to upgrade infrastructure like subway and road networks in order to….

tried to stay on top of what’s going on a daily basis and I am no exception. The article writes
about symptoms, preventative measures as well as the current situations of this fatal disease.
Well, due to the social distancing I had to practice, I just stayed at home and glued my eyes to
the smartphone’s screen all the time and came across this article on a famous periodical
while I was surfing the websites.
As I mentioned earlier, the article mentioned everything about the infectious disease and
