ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the beginning, I would like to express my gratitude to the Department of Foreign
Languages Dean for incorporating the course into my training program. Extracurricular
activities provide a setting in which students can enhance their English language
proficiency and gain more confidence in unfamiliar circumstances.
Furthermore, I express my gratitude to Teacher Le Hoang Duy Thuan, a committed
and passionate educator, whose suggestions and encouragement greatly aided in the
organization of my survey, particularly throughout the preparation of this report. Thanks
to him, I was able to finish my report, create and deliver an impressive presentation.
Besides my teacher, I would like to give thanks to the 36 foreigners who took the
time to help me finish the survey. Without them, I could not have collected enough data
and information to write my report.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my group members, Nguyen Thao
Quyen, Nguyen Ho Bao Kim, Nguyen Dang Thanh Ngan, and Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Y, for
their assistance during the interview process with international visitors.

 I. INTRODUCTION
1. Background:
Love is not something strange to each of us. Everyone has love in their heart. Love
includes romantic relationships.
One of the many tourist sites is Nha Trang. The COVID-19 epidemic has resulted
in a significant decline in tourism over the last two years, not just in Nha Trang but also
worldwide. To draw visitors, some nations have concentrated on increasing tourism's
effectiveness. As a whole and Nha Trang in particular have done a commendable job of
enabling the continuation of their tourist enterprises.

2. Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to help people understand more about themselves,
helping people clarify their perspectives in romantic relationships. From there, help people
find a suitable life partner for themselves. Finally, this is an opportunity for us to improve
our communication skills, improve our ability to handle situations and help us become
more confident when communicating with people.

 II. THE PROJECT
1. Overview the topic
Nha Trang is a beautiful tourist city. Every year, Nha Trang City welcomes millions
of tourists to visit. A romantic relationship is special in love. Love does not discriminate
between age, gender, color, etc. This is a topic that resonates with everyone, helping people
better understand themselves. The survey included general questions on the topic of
romantic relationships. It provides information about romantic relationships between men
and women. All of the reasons above lead to the reason why we chose the topic.

 III. PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THE TOPIC AND THE PROJECT

1. About the topic

a. Benefits
This is a very familiar and close topic to everyone. Everyone has love in their heart.
Anyone can take this survey. This is a topic that does not depend much on nationality, skin
color, religion, etc. The questions in the questionnaire are simple and easy to understand.
This topic also has an impact on people. It helps people understand more about themselves.
The topic also helps people know more perspectives on romantic relationships, thereby
helping people understand more about romantic relationships in love. At the same time, it
offers some perspectives on romantic relationships to help people find the right partner for
them.

b. Challenges
The topic rarely explores current tourism issues in Nha Trang city. In addition, this
topic asks people to give their personal views on romantic relationships. Besides, the topic
includes potential difficulties in romantic relationships.

c. Recommendations
For this topic, I have a few suggestions as follows. Students should design the
questionnaire with questions that highlight views about romantic relationships. Students
should interview and gather many people's perspectives on romantic relationships.

2. About the project

a. Benefits
There are many advantages to doing this project. First of all, my communication and
problem-solving skills are significantly improved. I have the opportunity to practice
English communication. In addition, I feel more confident when communicating. My
vocabulary and idiom has expanded. I learned how to work effectively in groups. Finally,
I learned how to complete a project, how to design a questionnaire, and write a complete
report. This project improved and enhanced a lot of my soft skills.

b. Challenges
There were many difficulties when I completed this project. First is the language
barrier, many foreigners cannot communicate in English. They come to Nha Trang to
travel. In addition, we have not chosen the right time and place with many foreigners. In
the morning there were not many foreigners for us to interview. Some foreigners just want
to run and sunbathe in the morning. Moreover, when we went to do more surveys, we met
other groups who were also doing surveys that day. That leads to many foreigners feeling
bothered and unprepared when they take many surveys. Finally, many people refuse to
interview because they feel bothered and just want to travel. They are not willing to do
interviews. Foreigners only agreed to do interviews when I explained a lot and I got
rejected a lot from them.

15
 c. Recommendations
Through this project, we feel we should spend more time interviewing foreigners. The
appropriate time frame is from 3.00-5.00 pm in areas with a large concentration of
foreigners such as 2/4 Square, Hon Chong Beach, Tram Huong Tower,... In addition,
students should explain and encourage foreigners to record a video of the interview.
Moreover, students need to be more confident when communicating with foreigners,
showing the true spirit of being an English language student. Students should set up plenty
of time to complete the best report possible.

16
IV. CONCLUSION

In summary, this report provides a personal perspective on romantic relationships.

This report highlights each person's perspective on romantic relationships, helping
people find their right partner. According to survey participants, they will find a suitable
life partner when they complete this report.

Finally, with the support of Teacher Thuan, 36 foreign participants, our team was
able to collect enough data to complete our report. Up to this point, our team has learned
how to create a report and how to conduct a survey. When we look for foreigners, we
also communication has improved. This is the success after we completed this report.
