so glad to tell that I have recently started work in a new company. The main
reason why I’m this writing is to share with you something about my new job.

involved in contacting with some bookstores and introducing many my

develops children’s verbal abilities compared to watching TV
will be exposed to a wide range of vocabularies as well as sentence
structures when reading
Therefore, reading books can provide great opportunities for children to
advance their vocabulary level, which can lead to their better writing skills.
increasing children’s vocabulary.
Many people agree that reading picture books could boost up children's
imagination. Although some people agree that picture books are not so good
for children as television, I completely disagree with these two opinions.
The first reason is that watching TV can cause children with eye diseases
such as myopia, eye pain. This will greatly affect the child's health and will
gradually cause children to suffer from diseases such as headaches.
The second reason is that picture book can't help children learn the new word
because there is a little vocabulary in picture book and that is not enough to
teach children. In addition, the fact that picture books have many colors can
also cause headaches and eye pains, although it is a rare case.
The last reason is that reading picture book or watch TV cannot boost up
children imagination like you think, because there already have the picture of
the thing and children can't imaginary them. If you want to improve children
imagination you should let children read book with less picture and more
word. On the one hand, it helps children learn new vocabulary, on the other
hand, they have a high level of imagination because there are few pictures in
the book, so they have to imagine things for themselves.
In conclusion, for all the reasons I have mention above, I maintain that
reading picture books nor watching TV can help children improve
imagination.
Tet holiday
It is a very important holiday for all Vietnamese people. It often takes place
from the end of January till the end of February. People use the Lunar
Calendar to count the dates. It is also spring time. So the weather is very
suitable for this festival.
It takes place to welcome the New Lunar Year. Another reason
is because people have worked hard for the whole year and they need a
break. Moreover, we also need to spend time with our family and Tet holiday
is a good occasion.
Before the festival, people should do a complete spring cleaning. During the
festival, they will visit their friend’s and relatives’ houses, enjoy some special
food, play cards and exchange lucky money. In addition, they will also visit
pagodas and pray for a good year of work.
First, I can get together with my family and friends after a year of hard work
and study. Second, I’m happy to get dressed up in nice clothes and take a
walk in public places. Third, I can visit pagodas and pray for a lucky coming
year. in this festival.
In conclusion, that’s all I would like to say. I hope that this holiday will come
soon.
