answer to each of the questions that follow.
Making the leap from school to university
Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are excited about it,
they should also be aware of the difference between university and school.
At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular assignments and
provide support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of your learning at university
involves self-studying and project work that you need to plan and complete by a certain date. It is your
responsibility to review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do research to find information in the library or
online.
Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact with them mostly
in a school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very familiar. By contrast, at
university, you not only have more contacts, but you also meet people from different backgrounds.
Therefore, you need better social skills to deal with any conflict you may come into when interacting with
other people.
As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the daily care and
support you need. You don't have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself. You have
your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go to university, you will probably

Located in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam’s Quang
Binh province, Hang Son Doong is one of the most captivating destinations that can be experienced in
Southeast Asia.
Translated as Mountain River Cave, it was first discovered in 1990 by Ho Khanh, a local farmer who
was seeking shelter from a passing storm in the jungle. Unfortunately, Ho Khanh lost his bearings during his
return, and the exact location of the cave remained lost for 18 years. In 2008 while hunting for food he
stumbled across the entrance again, and returned the following year with Howard and Deb Limbert from The
British Vietnam Caving Expedition Team.
In 2013, it was opened to the public for the first time, with the adventure tour
company Oxalis running the exclusive five-day expedition. Limiting the tour to only one operator has
protected the cave from mass development. Only 10 customers per departure are permitted. Tours run once
per week between February to August per year.
Despite the physical demands guests are perfectly cared for, two caving experts, three local guides,
two chefs, two park rangers and 20 porters join every expedition. The scale of the operation is phenomenal,
and this ensures everyone’s safety and welfare, along with the preservation of the cave, is looked after with
expert precision.
