Lost in my hometown


        I still clearly remember that it was 1998 when I was 6 years old. I had a trip to visit my grandmother's home. My hometown is just a small village located to the Southwest of Saigon city. Therefore, there are lack of lights and vehicles in my hometown. One day, when I stayed home alone and played with my toys while my parent and my grandmother were talking in the kitchen. Suddenly, I saw a dog was nibbling my toys. Quickly, I followed the dog to get my toys back. However, the more the dog ran, the more I got far away from my home. I found that I ran too far away so I should go back. Nevertheless, I realized that everything surround me became so blur and I could not remember the way to go back. I just kept moving in the dark without any navigation. I walked through a field that had many tombs around. I did not know where I was going. I felt hungry and exhausted. Everything became so terrible. Suddenly, when thunder and lightning explode across the sky, I found a woman was standing in front of me. She wore a red cap with hair covered her face. She smiled at me and whispered. “Don’t scare little boy, I’m your neighbor”. My heart is beating as it wants to explode and I could not say anything because my mouth is freeze for it cold. Then, she took me to her house and called my parent. After that night, I have learned a biggest lesson for my life. Children should not go out without parent’s permission and do not moving when you get lost.

Valentine's day

            In my opinion, valentine is the day that represent love. Each couples use valentine's day to give each other flowers, chocolates and teddy bears. In my country, valentine's day is a very special day. They take time together in order to find some places to give each other special gifts. However, I do not have any experience about this day. I have been single for a very long long time. I hate seeing couples around me when I still single. Therefore, I do not like valentine's day.

My country's writing style

              I believe that every country have their own writing style. In my country, "writing" is so complicated and difficult. Usually, one word can also have 2 differences meaning. One is physical meaning and other is mental meaning. Therefore, to use its in the right way is very challenging and  if you do not really understand. It could be a distortion. Moreover, the more words you write in your essay, the more points you will get for that. Teacher in my country often grade you based on how long your essay is and what ideas you mention in your essay. That why we usually "remember" exactly all of the samples in order to get higher point.

My attitude about writing

               In my case, I think writing is the best way to perform our opinion about the problems we want to mention. On the other hand, writing also the most effective method to share our feeling and our style. However, I also have some problems about my writing skill.

First, I think the biggest problem is my grammar. I always confuse about whether choose this kind of verb tense or the other one. Then, when I decide to choose this verb tense, I continue to think about whether I put it in the right places or not. 

Second, I have a problem on the words's repetition. I often repeat the same word in many different sentences. Therefore, I think I need to improve my vocabulary. 

Finally, writing style is always the hardest part of writing. International students from different country also have different writing style. Some from China, Japan , Korea, other from Vietnam, Thailand. Everybody have their own style. So do I. Therefore, I think to write in American style is the most important part that I should improve to be better in writing skill.
