* Nowadays it has become very rare that a girl stays at home and refuses to work. However, just like a coin
has two sides. Working mothers also have advantages and disadvantages. So today we will discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of a working mother.
* Advantages:
- The working mother spends most of the time outside working. For this reason, the children at home get to
know some responsibilities revolving around (to have someone or something as the main or most important interest or
subject) the household. So instead of spoon-feeding, they get to learn a lot of things about life at home. Above
all, they learn how to do some household work at home.
- Being a working mother automatically means that she contributing to the household funds. And having
more funds in the households means better living standard. Above all, a family with a working mother can
afford more stuff and services than non-working mothers. This also enables the child to get all kind of
facilities as there is no shortage of money.
- Everyone wants to secure a good career for their child. A working mother becomes an inspiration for the
child. She’s the one who is working and doing something creative. This enables the child to understand the
importance of career. They learn that they also need to work hard like their mother. This was the list of
Advantages of working mothers.
* Disadvantages:
- Having a 9 to 5 job is not an easy task. And keeping up with a hectic schedule is even harder for a mother
to follow. Accordingly, doing the household work after coming back home is painful as well. Thus, if the
mother fails to manage time then the household work remains undone.
- Again time is very important factor here. The working mothers tend to work for hours in corporate offices.
However, this means that they are not able to spend more time with their child. Sometimes the child may
feel isolated from their mother. This might result in loss of bond between the child and the mother.
Furthermore, the child may also fall in bad company in the absence of mother’s supervision.

* To avoid any culture shock, be prepared to do some research on its local etiquette and customs. Even
though Vietnamese locals can be very kind and hospitable, there are still a few do’s and don’ts when
traveling in Vietnam that you must bear in mind.
- Dress conservatively, especially for female travellers. Vietnamese are quite conservative about their dress,
and it would be disrespectful to wear skimpy or scanty clothes in public, especially in religious institutions.
Pay extra attention and do a double check on how formal you need to be to get into a pagoda or temple. 
- You are expected to keep quiet and pay respect when you’re at a pagoda, temple or church. You might try
praying like the local people by putting your hands together, or simply walking around in silence.
Tranquility is what most people seek when coming to this sort of places. 
- Don’t hold the chopsticks vertically cuz it - is associated with the image of incense sticks which are burnt
for the dead...
- When someone gives you sth, u should receive it with both your hands, otherwise, it is considered to be
disrespectful.
* Vietnamese people are very appreciative if they see you trying to abide by (obey) their customs, and very
forgiving if you get some of them wrong.
4.
* Exchange programs offer benefits to both participants and host countries. For international students this is
a great way to live and work abroad in a foreign country.
- Some things just can’t be taught in a classroom, to some extent culture is one of them. The best way to
learn about a country’s culture is to experience it in the native language. Cultural exchanges also give young
people an important insight into other perspectives, broadening their horizons and encouraging them to
develop their opinions and ideas.
- Immersion in another culture often involves engaging in new and unfamiliar social situations. Through
navigating the social customs of another country, young people become more flexible and adaptable to
unknown situations in general. They also learn to appreciate other cultures and ideas, and become more open
to compromise.
- This is one of the most important things, you will get to build professional relationships, learn from
experienced staff and boost your CV. When you apply for jobs in the future and you have the experience of
working in the United States on your CV this will look amazing to prospective employers who generally
look at this experience in a very positive light.
- You will get to meet locals and other participants from all over the world. You will form strong bonds
working alongside other people and thousands of people from so many different countries. So many
nationalities participate on cultural exchange programs including the UK, Ireland, Australia, Russia,
Kazakhstan, Ireland, Spain, Poland, Germany and more.

* Until recently, the simplest sign of the presence of a cell phone in the classroom could be a reason for
teachers to take drastic measures, such as temporary confiscation of the device. However, outside of
evaluation moments, more teachers have discovered ways to change the paradigm (a model of something, or a
very clear and typical example of something) and start using cell phones as learning allies (đồng minh).
* Pros:
- Students learn in a way they are comfortable. There is a widespread use of smartphones by younger
children. More and more students know how to use them and they are becoming the most used 'tool' by
children.
- Students are able to get answers quickly. Smartphones provide the ability to get answers quickly. A student
may not ask for clarification to a question he or she has in an open classroom hence the use of a smartphone
in a classroom setting can provide those answers.
- Cell phones encourage collaborative learning. Students can share notes and reminders faster and easier
with mobile devices.
- Cell phones can be used as memory aids. Students can document their lessons by taking pictures and/or
videos to enhance retention. With smart phones, learning can also be more interactive and fun.
* Cons:
- Cell phones cause distraction. Students can easily be distracted when their phones ring or vibrate, and the
learning process will be totally disrupted when the students start to send and read messages or make and
receive calls. There’s now a lot of interesting content on such social platform like Youtube, Fb, Ig… so it’s
hard for students to resist the temptation to choose the phone instead of the boredom of learning. Moreover,
with the advent of smart phones, it is now easy for students to access the internet and play or shop online.
- Cell phones can be used in cheating. Text messaging is the new note passing. Students can exchange text
messages with test answers on them without the teacher’s knowing.
* By and large, just like coin that has 2 sides, using smartphones at school can serve as a useful tool but also
can be a source of distraction. But once you find the way to use it wisely, it is able to do wonderful to your
study.

* To make our school an eco-friendly and sustainable place, I’d like to put forward some of my suggestions.
- Toxic cleaning supplies, pest poisons, paints, furnishing finishes, and even chemical fertilizers threaten
kids’ health. They’re also toxic to cleaning and maintenance staff. Ask your school to implement green
cleaning, pest control, and maintenance policies.
- Getting behind (support) a more thorough recycling program is essential. Take environmental education
into your own hands. A student club can take real action on campus issues. Your club may create a campus-
wide recycling or organize cleanup and planting days; raise funds for green initiatives; and even take part in
national green schools competitions. Through all this, students will learn leadership, teamwork, and how
great feels to make a positive difference.
- Organize a Local Food Day: Fruity Friday. Each Friday, students chop up all the leftover food from the
canteen and use it to make special desserts for the whole school. And of course, vegetables can be
composted, or left to break down. Compost can then be used to make soil healthier and grow more produce.
- Finally, we ourselves can help our school go greener by reducing energy use, water use, waste, and
pollution in everyday action.

- One of the best things you can do is to keep yourself informed – the more you know the better. Get
yourself clued up on the facts, stay up to date with recent news on the state of our natural world and work
out what you can do. We have the world at our fingertips, so learn from influential people, keep up with the
news and research organisations that are working to make our planet a better place.
- Food production is a major driver of wildlife extinction. What we eat contributes around a quarter of global
greenhouse gas emissions. Moving away from a meat-dominated diet towards a more plant-based diet can
lower your impact on the environment. Vegetarian and vegan foods are massively on the rise and becoming
far more common in restaurants, cafes and supermarkets, so you’ll rarely struggle. Not only that, but cutting
down on meat and dairy products can reduce your weekly food bills.
- Recycling what we can reduces the amount of new materials we are making, and upcycling is a creative
way to make old items into something more valuable. This could be reusing a jam jar as a candle holder, or
using old tins as plant pots – the possibilities are endless!
- Volunteering can be daunting, and expensive if you don’t know where to look. But it doesn’t need to be
this hard to do good. Often local nature reserves or parks are looking for regular volunteers, which can give
you practical conservation experience as well as helping to restore nature your local area.
