a special day in my student life

Have you ever wondered how the life is without friends? Have you ever wondered how to make friends with another person politely? Have you ever wondered how you did to build a long lasting friendship? And have you ever ask yourself why you are so sad and disappointed when your friendship is broken down? Let answer these entire question at the moment. And I did. Now I find that friendship is really necessary and important in order to have a meaningful and useful life. So I always try to share and help my friends with the bottom of my heart. That is the reason a beautiful and pleasant friendship has already struck up with American four months ago.
Four months has passed but that day is still fresh in my mind. One day at 6p.m, after coming back dorm from study hard, I took a bath and sat down on a bench in front of my room to enjoy the beauty of sunset. In my eyes the sense was very wonderful. The sunset looked like a red globe on the horizon as if it was last sunshine of day. The cool winds glided past my shoulder lightly. In such fresh and quiet air of city at night, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and started rethink what happened on day. It seemed that all the worries of life were taken away. I was in a relax feeling, suddenly the cell phone rang, which severed my thoughts. I could hear my friend’s urgent voice “Thuy, are you free? Come out the school gate quickly” and hung up immediately. Something wrong certainly had happened to her, I thought. So I ran as fast as possible to be with her. Just a minute later I stood in front of her with faster and faster breathing. But there was no problem. She just gave me a sweet smile and introduced her new friend, Esther who comes from American. In the first sight I misunderstood that she was Japanese with piggy eyes and petite body but did not. “Hi, nice to meet you” was the first words she said with a friendly smile. We soon became close friends although the time we met is not enough to understand each other well. Then, we decided to go to the supermarket. We walked along street hand in hand and shared a lot about our country and study. It was very joyful for us to go everywhere and try some products. Yet, there were some people around us had a strange look as we were speaking in English. After a while, we went to the second floor, took many photos and enjoyed the dinner together. From our bright eyes, I know that we were very happy as if we were close friends for a long time. At 9p.m we had to return but it was raining heavily. Without hesitating, we all ran out of the supermarket and danced like some little girls never saw raining. Ten minutes later we were as wet as a drowned rat in school gate. It is time to come back home, so we gave email and phone number to each other and said goodbye with great feeling.
Until now, I still keep in touch with her and we often recall our special memory and smile a lot. It seems to have miracles creating our friendship although we are different countries and languages. And I learn that “life without friendship is like the sky without sun,so never stop sharing and giving”. If you give, it means that you receive already.

A small landscape in my hometown

In the busy and modern life, the demand of traveling is very necessary. Most of us try to find out some famous places such as Da Lat city or Mui Ne to travel on holidays. To me, those trips both cost much money and make me uncomfortable. Although there are a lot of tourist attractions to visit in our country, I just really love a small landscape with a cool stream near my house because of scenes here.
Thanks to the beauty of nature, that stream is an ideal place to visit. To me, nowhere is as beautiful as here. First, you will be surprised because the water is so clean and cool that you can see the bottom of stream clearly. No fish, no dust is in. one more thing is the sound of flowing water is like a melody of nature, which seems to create an interesting sounds. Under the face of the waters, there are full of colorful and multiform stones as grey, brown, yellow blue or white. It looks like a starlit night in the sky. Therefore, it is very useful for the people who want to have a collection of stones. You can even give them to your friends as impress and meaningful souvenirs. Also, the atmosphere is very natural and real with many trees covering at all. If you have a look in the distance, this landscape looks like a stream encompassed by mountains. All these points create a vaporous space as though you are in the immortal world. Here is great enough to spend the days off with your friends. If I have more an opportunity to travel, I will always think of that stream first because I can enjoy the beauty of nature with joyful feeling.
Because of its atmosphere, the stream is always the best place for me to take away the worries of life and studying. At the shore I can lie on the green grass, close the eyes, breath slowly and enjoy the beauty of sky, some white and black clouds drifting and bobbing, the breeze of wind blowing through my hair quietly. Especially when I jump into the stream, it seems that there is an electric current running inside the body. So the fresh and cool air makes me easier to get rid of stress. No one can interrupt me do anything. I really love the time I spent on because of it was very relax and comfortable. When having sadness, everyone often find out somewhere they feel better to forget it. And I have already had one.
Nowadays, in spite of living far away from my hometown, I often return when having days off because there is a great place to spend my leisure time beside my home. In near future, perhaps I will not work at my hometown, but I am sure that I will come back to enjoy the beauty of landscapes there with the feeling of free and peaceful in my soul.
