You should say:
What the activity is
Who invited you to participate in it
Whether you asked for help in the activity
And explain what change you had in the activity

as a person who are fond of doing outdoor activities, so I have many thing to describe. Well, let's choose. Spring up to my mind, I will opt for cycling to desribe.... Well, I started riding by bicycles about many years before Covid 19 to be continue

U know, at that time, cycling is a good thing for my health and also during that time -> many young people aslo take up cycling as a hobby -> I am not an exception, I cannot resist the temptation -> I have been cycling twice a wek

after understanding my habit, in the trip to Florida, some of my friends suggested that we go cycling across the beach. Right off the bat, I totally agree with this idea since I knew it could be an awesome time with my friends

Even though, that was the first time I cycle at a new place, I didnt face any troubles likes renting a bike and adapting myself

After 2 years of cycling with the same route => I'd got a little bit fed up. doing this activity in a new place like recharge my battery. I felt so lively when cycling across the shore and enjoy the moment of sunset and sunrise.

honestly, this trip instilled a sense of novelty in me ,,, gay ra cam giac moi la
so glad I had that experience => would love to recommend my fellow to go to Florida and they could have a same feeling

Well, I dont have a knack of taking photo as a profession. I just took photos in some events or go other places as these photoes to remind. However, I will describe about a particular photo, it's a selfie photo and I will tell U why I choose this photo


As I remember exactly. I had a chance to go to Arizona with Taylor, this photo was taken in our trip to Arizona, a dessert in America. This was the trip we had planned -> this was very special to both of us => we took a bunch of photos

One of the best tourise attractions in Arizona is Trump tower, which is about 40 km tall and located in the center of Arizona. after reading all positive reviews, we decided to go there even though both of us dont know Arizona. When we went to this tower => we decided to took a photo

This photo is a special memory of not only the unique of this place but also our relationship - everytime I look at the photo, it reminds me about the past when we went to this great/marvellous place together. So I hope that in the future, we will have more chances to go travelling

well, when reading this topic, the first occasion came to my mind was when I received money as a gift during my 18th birthday

As I remember exactly, it was my birthday that my sister, Taylor send me an envelope with many money tucked inside, which was quite unexpected for me because every year she usually gives me a hug or kiss haha to

Honestly, I didnt know the exact reason why Taylor gave me this money. at first, I thought she didnt know the thing I like to send me because she 's quite busy with the 1989 tour. But I was totally wrong about it. She told me she want to give me a freedom to everything I want . I was on the cloud nine when receiving this money since I have a plan to spend money on buying a new ticket to return Vietnam

As a travelling avid, I felt so grateful for Taylor of unwavering support because without her financial supports, I wouldnot be able to start my journey

Looking aback again, my sister is an awesome girl and I couldn't any words desribe my sister :x

As u know, 2020 in the first few months of Covid-19 => so there are several lockdowns all around the world to keep everyone in a safe place. This forced me to work remote => so I bought a new printer to print my documents. U know, at the same time, this printer was all-in-one solution, I mean, it can cater to my printing, scanning

As a part of my job => I have to use this device every single day to handle the huge workload
=> Having said that, my experience with it has never easy as day one

firstly, the printer frequently experiences paper jams => so it need to manual fix. Apart from that, replacing the ink or set up always a hassle with me. Even though I have found many video on Youtbe to find solution, well, I still feel this machine is quite sophisticated to use as a blind technology like me

While I have to admit this device is quite convinent, but it still an obsession for me

Before I signed up this class, I know, I have to reasearch many documents on the Internet to have a deeper insight these batters.

U know, I really took aback about an eclectic mix of resources on the Internet about these batters. It took me about 2 -3 week to collect all the information from these source before I start creating my power point


My presentation mostly talk about the impacts of 2 batters on Vietnam and other countries
because of that, not only I need to research information Vietnamese historical books, but also I have to research many documents in Laos, Campuchia. U know, some time it's panic in my brain because I have to find documents from these country and use Google translate to compile these foreign language

Other problems I found , U know, well, on the Internet it has both reliable and unreliable resource, I have to choose my documents carefully

Despite that, since the topic was so fascinated, I had a deeper insight my history and instill my passion with my country. I got A+ from professor and even praised me for my time and effort

Well, I will desribe about my sister's house in the center of New york, it's in vicinity of Trump Tower. Even though many people would surprise about my dream house, trust me, this is awesome house

First of all, my sister's house is quite medium, I mean it just enough to feel a sense of coziness. So I estimated it around 60 meters. Thanks to the size, this house can be easier to clean. U know, the prices of estate at city center like Newyork increase drammatically, I mean they are always exorbitant.

Apart from that, the house just a stone's throw away from time square, so it's quite convinent for my sister if she have to engage her show in this. Beside, my sister's house is surround many tree, like a green space, it's opposite with my house in a jungle concrete. This is also one of the foremost reasons why this would be an ideal place to unwind and recharge my battery. Sometimes my sister invite me to go to her house to escape the hustle and bustle of Hanoi
