knowledge has been obtained from books. Books can also teach me how to be a good

have enough warm clothes to wear. They have to work hard to earn only a little

I have made a plan to raise money for those poor people. We are collecting old

Hi! Everybody. What kinds of foods do you like? My favourite food is Pho. Pho is the
most popular food among the population and it plays an important thing in the spirit
of Vietnamese people, especially the people who live in Ha Noi. Anyone feels hungry
in a short time in the morning can also enjoy a bowl of hot and spicy Pho to fill their
empty stomach. Have many Pho but there are two main kind of Pho: Pho with beef
and Pho with chicken. The ingredients of Pho are rice noodles and broth which is
generally made by simmering bones, fried steak charred onion and spices, it takes
several hours to prepare. When people eat Pho they can add some kind of thing such
as chilli, pepper,… I love Pho very much so I can eat it every day without boring. I'm
sure that you do it, too. Wherever in Vietnam, Pho is special food. That’s the end of
my topic. Thanks for listening.
