 Reading & Speaking
• Tran Dai Nghia High School for the gifted is perhaps one of the the best high schools in the entire Ho Chi
Minh city. I spent four years there and have had some wonderful memories there. Probably the best time
of my life is when I was in that school
• Located at District 1, the center of Ho Chi Minh city, Tran Dai Nghia High School offers young students
quality education and one of the best views in town from its premises. It was established almost one
hundred years ago on an area which is pretty big consider the crowded population of Ho Chi Minh City .
This school always make endeavors to excel at all courses that are offered to students. It is one of the
prominent and autonomous schools in our city with excellent academic results.
• I got admitted to this school when I was around 16 years old. I studied there until I finished my high
school diploma and will never forget my time there. I must admit I enjoyed my high school days thorough.
All of my best friends that I have now is my classmates in Tran Dai Nghia high school.
• I loved so many things in my school. I relished the rich collection of books the school library had, the
large and green playground where I used to play every evening, the scenic beauty of it and so on. But
the most attractive aspect of the school was the excellent teachers who used to teach us. The institution
could not have been the best one without the dedication and hard work they have put in.
