HEALTH

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our podcast “ HANU PC”. My name

is Ha Thu- the host of this Program. Today, we have a guest – Pham Thi
Tuyen – a freshman at Hanoi Uni. We are going to discuss doing exercise
for students– a good habit which we should take up in our life.
1. Tuyen, can I ask you a question? Do you often do exercise every day?
- Yes, of course, I am sort of a sporty girl and often ride my bike with
my father around the lake. Compared with others at my age, I must
admit that I’m as fit as a fiddle.
- I am a sporty girl, too. I work out at the gym day in, day out to keep
fit.
2. In your opinion, Could the exercise bring to you some advantages?
- First of all, doing exercise regularly helps me stronger and strengthen
resistance. Besides, it’s a good way for me to lose weight and keep fit,
even increase my height.
- Moreover, doing exercise also help me reduce stress, so I often work
out after finishing my work.
- Yeah, as I know, exercise releases chemicals like endorphins and
serotonin that improve our mood.
3. How do you think about Vietnamese people do exercise nowadays?
What are their purposes?
- Overall: regardless of sex, age, and location, people in V do exercise
more because of the enhancement of living quality.
- The reasons for this trend are they are more pay attention to their
health. When the younger people want to keep in shape, more
attractive and the older people want to prolong their age and have an
active lifestyle.
- This is reason why the young often choose to do the gym or aerobic,
or go swimming, or other sports. While the old often do yoga, or go
along with their friends in the park.
- Yeah, nowadays, I see more and more Vietnamese people take part in
sporty activities. I suppose it’s a positive impact in our modern life.
Doing exercise plays an important role in our life. We should do exercise
not only to enhance our health but also to relax, reduce stress and enjoy the
fresh air.
This podcast today is going to end here and we hope this topic can give
some useful information for your life. See you.
TECHNOLOGY
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our podcast “ HANU PC”. My name
is Ha Thu- the host of this Program. Today, we have a guest – Pham Thi
Tuyen. We are going to discuss technology, especially technological devices
and their functions in our life.
1. What technological devices are you using mostly?
- As many students, I mostly use smartphones, and laptops on a daily
basis, in school, at home, and going out.
2. Do they make your life more convenient?
- Yes, they have many positive impacts on my life.
- I use them for online classes. It’s an useful tool for me to
communicate with their classmates and teachers through email or
other platforms for shared discussions and knowledge.
- Moreover, thanks to them, I can keep in contact with friends, and
family.
I totally agree with you. Modern technological devices really make
our life easier. Nowadays, we can only sit in front of a laptop, we can
connect with all over the world.
3. What are the drawbacks of those technological devices?
- One of the most recognizable drawbacks of technology devices is
addiction to technology devices. You know, for example teenagers,
they spend too much time chatting, playing games or watching
movies. Whenever we see them holding the phone in their hand.
- That leads to a second drawback of technology devices that is, it
makes users more and more distant from their loved ones. In the
family, the father watches TV, the mother uses the computer, the
children use the phone, and each person has a device, no one talks to
anyone.
- Yes, and when, technology cause isolation from relationships, first of
all is family relationship, then are friendship, neighbor relationshop
and other relationships.

4. Are you dependent on mostly these technological devices? Can you

give some solutions for others to balance between using modern
devices and leading an active lifestyle?
- No, actually, I spend my time in an effective way and don’t spend
most of my time surfacing on-screen and sitting on the desk with a
computer. My solution for this problem is using an application that
helps me to control my time a day and I need to follow it strictly.
 - Another measure is to spend more time going out and playing with
friends, and family and exploring interesting things.
Nowadays, technology devices play an essential role in our lives and assist
our life to become more comfortable. However, instead of using them for a
long time, we should hang out with our family, and our friends to have
direct connections with others.
This podcast today is going to end here and we hope this topic can give
some useful information for your life. See you.

CULTURE
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our podcast “ HANU PC”. My name

interesting customs.
1. Do you know anything about Korea? If you have a chance, will you
go there?
- I only some information about Korea. As I know, Korea consists a lot
of islands, seem 4000 islands.
- What impressed me most about Korea is their unique culture. They are
world famous for their traditional costumes, you know Hanbook.
Especially now, Korean music groups or movies, dramas are
dominating the world's chart.
- That's right, now when we talk about Korea, we will definitely talk

immediately.
- Haha, me too.

Hanbook - the popular identity of Korean people.
- besides, on this occasion, they also have their own special food, if I
remember correctly they call it songpyeon in Korean
- wow, I feel you have great knowledge about this festival. You even
remember name of special food, I am not sure, I can’t do. What is it
called, I forgot again?
- Songpyeon
- Oh, Songpyeon, I remember, thank you.
4. Many people say that Vietnamese young people these days tend to be
more open and oriented towards K culture, what is your opinion?
- I completely agree with this point. In fact, the younger people I meet
from my friends to others I meet along the street, usually wear clothes
following the Korean style and they also listen to the music of this
country.
- Thereby, I think Korean culture will become a part of our life because
of its special customs, as well as modern culture.If have a chance, I
am sure, not only me, but also a lot of Vietnamese people want to go
to Korea oncce and experience their culture because of their beauty
and their tradition. This podcast today is going to end here and we

ENVIRONMENT
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our podcast “ HANU PC”. My
name is Ha Thu- the host of this Program. Today, we have a guest –
Pham Thi Tuyen. We are going to discuss an environmental problem –
the mass in using plastic bags around the globe – a top topic recently all
over the world.
1. Do you often use plastic bags for storage or shopping?
- Yes, of cause, I often use plastic bags in some situations like
supermarkets or stores.
 - In my view, Not only you but also many people, even me today
become an integral part of our daily life
2. Do you know how the use of too many plastic bags affects the
environment?
- As I know, using too many plastic bags can pollute the soil, air and
water environment.
- You know, lastic bags are difficult to decompose and costly to recycle.
Therefore, most plastic waste is either incinerated or buried in the
ground. That directly causes pollution of the air, soil and even
groundwater. Sometimes, people throw those plastic bags directly into
the river or sea, causing the river or sea to be polluted, which we often
use a word called "white pollution" to refer to them.
- yes, not only does it pollute the environment, it also has negative
effects on our health. We breathe polluted air, drink polluted water, in
the long run we will also get diseases, typically cancer.
3. Although using too much plastic bags has many negative impacts on
our environmet, why do people use so many plastic bags?
- I supposse first of all, because plastic bags are cheaper than other
bags, and they are also durable, plastic packaging is portable.
- Besides, they are so easy to produce with a large quantity.
4. What do you think we should do to reduce the amount of plastic bags
released into the environment?
- I think to begin with decline the bag we use everyday. We should
bring our reusable bags instead.
- Next is to recycle the plastic bags. I suggest, the goverment should
build more recycling plants.
- But the easiest way is that we should reuse those plastic bags, I mean
after each use, we can wash them for the next use.
- I totally agree with you. At home, I often reuse plastic bags many
times. I think it’s a good way for us to protect our environment before
“white pollution”.
Nowadays, the use of plastic bags and the discharge of plastic waste into the
environment is always a serious problem not only in our country but also in
the whole world. Understanding their impact on the environment will
partly help us be more aware of the use of plastic products, helping to
reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment.
HISTORY- VO NGUYEN GIAP
Welcome to our podcast- we are HISTORY – THE PAST- THE PRESENT
AND THE FUTURE. Today, we gonna talk about a distinguished Vietnamese
person, he is VO NGUYEN GIAP – a historical figure in Vietnam. And my
company today is Ha Thu- she is a student of Hanoi Uni- who is interested in
Vietnam history.
As you know, the Vietnamese people experienced nearly 1000 years in order to
prevent their national sovereignty and as a result, they gained independence
from the invaders in 1945. In these fights of Vietnamese history, they have a
number of historical figures who devoted their lives to protecting their country
from the invaders. The famous Vietnamese person we gonna talk about is VNG-
he is a captain of Vietnam’s army when having the war in this country and
become a general of the socialist republic of Vietnam after the war.
1, And Ha Thu, do u know VNG

- play an important role in competing against foreign invaders.
- the first general of the Vietnam military.
2, He is so popular for a number of glorious victories in his career, which of his
historical highlight impress you the most? VIET BAC CAMPAIGN 1947
- Is the first huge historical highlight of Vietminh, beating the plan of
the France invaders.
- Main leader of Vietminh is VNG. He directly led the military, so
shooting 18 planes, 16 warships, 38 canoes were sunk, 255 vehicles of
different types were destroyed.
This victory remained the security of resistance headquarters and improved the
strength of the main army and defend the VietBac base.
3, As you know, VNG died on 4/10/2013, his death left pain and sorrow for
Vietnamese people and the population who love history in the world. In your
opinion, what are the reasons for other people to pay tribute and respect for
him? Talent, Kind, Devotion.
- First of all, he is a distinguished historical figure of Vietnam. He is a
visionary leader, with great leadership and he can seize the
opportunity to beat the drawback of opponents.
 - Secondly, he is a patriot. He is willing to devote his youth and his life
to reclaiming Vietnam’s sovereignty.
And he wants to cultivate patriotism in the next generations through his books,
his literature, and the children’s names he gave them: Hoa Binh, Dien Bien, …
4, Apart from Vo Nguyen Giap, do u know other historical figures in Vietnam
and over the globe? HO CHI MINH- prominent leader and HITLER
- HCM is famous over the world and is the prominent leader of Vietnam.
He is the person who paved the way to gain independence of Vietnam
and established The socialist republic of Vietnam.
- In the other hand, Hitler was also popular in the world with his arbitrary
political policy. He was a dictator in Germany, was born in 1889, and
died in 1945.
Nowadays, the younger people live in a peaceful country, which was protected
by a number of Vietnamese people in the past, they devoted most of their lives
time and even sacrificed their lives to remain the sustainability of Vietnam.
Therefore, younger people these days need to be aware of our responsibility for
contributing and developing the country in many aspects: military, policy,
economy and culture, and education.
SCIENCE
As u know, science is a crucial part of our lives with a number of important
achievements which are being applied these days. Therefore, science is a core
subject at school and a lot of children want to be a scientist in the future to
analyze and find out new theories for the development of our life.
Today, we gonna talk about science with students, let’s see what is student
opinion about the importance and role of science in their life. And my company
is Ha Thu- a student of HANOI UNI – who studies social sciences – linguistics.
1, Did you have a science class in high school?
Yes, I have. They are so informative and I was keen on them.
2, What kinds of science classes did you study at school?
At my high school, I usually studied natural sciences with some subjects such as
Physics, chemistry, biology, and geology.
And now, I study English Department, it belongs to social sciences.
Apart from natural sciences and social sciences, formal sciences also become
popular with younger people these days, because afritical intelligences and
advanced computers are more important in our life.
3, some people believe that science could bring some positive effects on our
life. Are you agree with this point?
I strongly agree with this opinion that science plays a crucial role in our
lives. By studying and working out in this area, we can understand a lot of
theories, phenomena of different natural environments, and human beings.
For example, With natural sciences, we can know how the movement of the
moon, the earth, and some situations occur in daily life. With social
sciences, we can build a connection with each other by studying linguistics
and international relations. With formal sciences, we can optimize the
development of cognitive processes and characterize abstract structures
with symbolic systems.

4, Do you want to be a scientist who works out in science and our life, why?
Yes, of course. As you know, my major is the English department so after my
graduation, I want to devote my life to working out language studies in English
and other languages such as Chinese and Japanese.
You have a sweet dream, that’s great and I hope you can achieve this target. In
my view, becoming a scientist requires some strict qualifications and huge
knowledge of a particular subject so I would be afraid if I was required to
become a scientist.
Science with different aspects plays an important role in human life because it
helps us to learn about the world, natural situations, and social environments in
general. Therefore, studying science is necessary for students and all of the
population to boost the awareness of protecting the earth and living
environment.

BUSINESS- a start-up for young people

Nowadays, many young people tend to run their businesses, according to a
report in 2021, 1 in 5 18-34 years old have a business idea for themselves. As a
result, companies are on the rise every year.
Today, my company is Ha Thu – a young student at Finance University. She
will share her view and her business plan in the future.
1. Do you have a plan to run your business in the future? And what kind of
your product do you sell?
- Yes, I always have an idea to run my business if I have opportunity.
- And my agency can focus on fashion such as T-shirt, trousers,
bombers, coats and other cloths.
 - The reason for me to choose them is you know, cloths is more
important in younger people todays, and in this way, I think we are
more likely to be successful if reaching exact costumers.
It is quite possible and potential, I hope that you can seize the opportunity to
start your plan.
2. In your opinion, what are the traits of a successful business person?
- In reality, to become a sucessful businessman, we need a lot of traits
but if I can choose 2 factors which is the most important, I think deep
passion and creativity is more necessary.
- Deep passion is a huge motivation for them to reach their taget, they
need to focus on what they love and follow strictly this object to be
great.
- these days, with the aggressive competition, entrepreneurs are forced
to come up with original ideas that differ from others. They also need
to find new different solutions to solve their problems.
Apart from deep passion and creativity, I consider that great leadership is
also a necessary factor for young people to start up sucessfully. The need to
have easygoing attitude with colleges, costumers and other people and also
find the solutions to pave the way for their company.
3. If you are a founder of a company, what are the advantages you receive
from this job?
- Gain more experience, and learn to upgrade skills such as
communication, office, computer amd leadership.
- Achieve greater professional goals
- Have the chance to foster new relationships and friendships with
colleges, customers and partners. Because running business forces us
to get out and interact with new people in order to learn and
introduce our plan and product.
4. What is the biggest issue to deal with for a young person who wants to
startup? Finance. Experience.

It is obvious that the number of self-employed young people has risen

dramatically in recent times because of the benefits that running a business
could bring. Young people need to deal with some difficulties with customers,
finances, and the lack of experience to gain profits for their agencies abd
become successful businessman.
