1. INTRODUCE ABOUT YOURSELF

- hi I’m minh
- I’m from bac ninh
- I’ve just turned 21
- I am a freshman in English language Teaching
- Interest: I’m passionate about coffee and good drinks because it pumps me up for a fresh day.
I absolutely adore Cà phê muối – is an easy to-go flavour, everyone should try the fluffy cream texture with a bit salty
taste touch-up. I promised myself I would make coffee each morning to drag myself out of bed, as a ritual to start the day.
Coffee to me is more than just a beverage, it’s a ritual.

- Passion: u can usually find me in the library studying, or reading books there. Reading books is like taking a look into
other people’s life stories. When I have time for reading it feels like a really good break to remind me I’m still have time to
chill out like a kid.

- my personality:
+ I am a bit reserved and quiet. I get quite pressured if I have to speak to strangers.
+ i am ambitious and goal-driven. That’s why I’m motivated to be hardworking
+ I wanna be adventurous. That’s why I like to enjoy streetfood, eating out on street corner.
- My dream is to…
 - in the nutshell, I am a young person who finds joy in achievement, and also small things like good food, good books and
good friends.

2. Describe your family

- How many people
- Who are they
- What’s their jobs?
- What’s their day to day task?

I live with my grandparents, and my 2 other siblings and a cat. My mom passed away. My dad owns a sewing workshop faraway
at a suburban area. We live in a 3-story house in the middle of Bắc Ninh city, with a small garden on the third floor – next to a
wash yard. They are the true supporters that the 2 kids are dependent on. As I left home for university, normally the kids go to
schools from morning until early afternoon. My grandmother would cook meals with the help of my sister. My dad only comes
home at weekend when he has few orders from customers.

Life is quiet and sometimes the kids don’t obey my grandparents. However, we all love and know how lucky we are to have their
support in our upbringing days.

My little brother loves to watch TV and go outside running with his friends. His favorite show is Looney Tune – I think it’s a
classic kids show and it still gains kids’ cherish (admiration) until today.

My sister is in her high school years and she’s crazy about his internet friends. She’s on tiktok and facebook stories all the time. I
think keeping up with newest trends is part of being a high school student. Although she is my “little” sister, she is very stubborn
(sub…)

I share the room with my little sister.

3. Describe ur fav thing

Linking words
- By the way
- In my opinion

I think the most important possession to every university student is the laptop. I use laptop to study, entertain, and work.
Anything could be done with a laptop in this technology era.
 + special thing: a have heat-holder water bottle, it is durable and helped me hydrating for years. I bought it from The
Coffee House – a famous beverage brand in Vietnam. I have been using the bottle to drink water everyday for 3 years and
it hasn’t broken at all! I don’t really carefully keep it from falling or being molded, so of course there’s are signs of crashes
here and there. However, the function is still in good use. Having a water bottle to bring everywhere reminds me to stay
hydrated by filling the bottle twice a day! Even though 350.000VND was a bit pricey, time has proved it’s worth it to buy
products from quality brand at a high price.

5. Describe your fav food

I usually have….
I think…. Sounds really good
A popular street snack is… it tastes….
Sugary, cheesy, buttery, boney, crusty, fatty oily, juicy, tasty, spicey, creamy, salty

I like eating simple dishes that I can cook, especially spaghetti. Of course I love eating street food like bun cha, bun cha, however
the fact that I can cook and satisfy my appetite is the best moment. To cook spaghetti, we need a meat – pork or beef is alright,
some fish sauce and meat marinate sauce, some potatoes and the spaghetti themselves. First, marinate and fry the meat. Then
cook the potatoes, add sugar and fish sauce until it turns into sweet and fluid texture. Meanwhile, spaghetti should have been
boiled into soft chunks (?). Without a long time cooking and preparing, you still have a tasty, delicious dish for a quick dinner.
6. Describe a place u wanna go
- I love a bustling street, with many places to eat out and take photos. There’s always somewhere to go: the mall, the
concerts, the restaurants, the streets familiar although small and unclean, the wet markets in your neighborhood, the small
alleys. I love a working life in a big corp, so I think as long as it’s a big city I would like to experience living there.
- Living fees are high, and transport might be harder in big cities considering frequent traffic jam.
- However, it’s an opportunities to grow professionally and meeting people from all walk of life.

7. Freetime
- Like to do in freetime:
I don’t often have time to relax, but when I do
I enjoy/cherish/fancy watching tv shows, what everybody is watching on Netflix, especially Some American and Korean
shows. I feel immersed into the plot and really enjoy a laid-back, stress-free time.
 - Like to do on holiday
Meet my friends -> cook -> relaxing and having a good laugh.
Meeting up with friends is a good chance to confide, reflect on what we’ve going through talk about upcoming plans in life
get support. Therefore, to me meeting friends is like a remedy for the soul to recharge In the holiday.

Health
- What do u do to improve health
Get more sunshine. Move your body. Exercises. Get enough sleep and rest.
- What about the food
There’re ways to improve your health. one of them is to fix your diet.
I try to keep my meals nutritious: with meat, vegetables and fish. I try not to eat snack at night and drink enough water
everyday.
