Topic 2 : A couple of months ago I went to the Greek island of Crete. We stayed in a town called Xania, which is on the coast in the north west of Crete. It is a really picturesque town with small cobbled streets, a large harbour and many ancient buildings. I went there with my husband Brendan for a one-week holiday. We got there by various means of transport, taking a train to the airport, then a four-hour flight, followed by a twenty-minute taxi ride from the airport to where we were staying. The whole journey took around eight hours from door to door, which was a bit longer than we expected it to take, although we didn't have any major delays, thank goodness. I enjoyed my stay there very much, as I had not had a holiday for ages and needed to switch off from working. We didn't do much sightseeing, although Xania itself has a long and fascinating history so went to the local museum in order to learn more about it. I spent a lot of time reading books and swimming in the sea, which I must admit was quite a lot colder than I thought it would be. I also enjoyed eating the delicious Cretan food, and walking around the ancient streets in the town. One of the things I enjoyed the most was going to a restaurant called Xalkina, where they had live Cretan music every night. The musicians were playing instruments that I had never seen before, and I loved the style and tempo of the music they played. I would definitely like to go back to Crete one day, though next time I would probably make more effort to see the amazing sights of the rest of Crete.

Tet is a traditional holiday of our country, Vietnam.
It often begins in late-January and ends in early-February. With the meaning of seeing the old year off and welcoming the new year, Tet becomes a special occasion of reunion for Vietnamese families. At that time, all family members try to come back to their home and get together to make such preparations for Tet as buying new clothes and cleaning their house. A branch of apricot blossoms or a Kumquat tree is indispensable decoration for every family in these days. They seem like a fresh air to the house. We display a tray full of fruits and vases of flowers on the ancestral altar.
Some typical Tet's food are sweets, coconut jam, fruit candies, melon seeds, stew pork with eggs, and especially sticky rice cake. Tet meals are usually bigger and more delicious than our daily ones.
On Tet holiday, people have many recreational activities. Young persons take part in the traditional games such as: tug of war, cooking rice, cock fighting, watching lion dance. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money to children. Woman like going to pagoda to wish good things for their family.
In my opinion, I like cozy and fresh Tet atmosphere. All family members gather and talk about resolutions for a happy new year. I can hang out with my friend and don't worry about anything.
" Tet" holiday is always in Vietnamese's heart.

At Tet, spring fairs are organized, streets and public buildings are brightly decorated and almost all shops are crowded with people shopping for Tet.

Unlike in the old days, we could only learn English through radio books, television and in school. There are many more ways to learn English today, especially through the internet, smartphones and many English learning centers opened up. There is no compulsory method to learn English, but each person must find a suitable way to learn it effectively. Many people will think that learning English is difficult, but what we need to do is get our own way of learning and an effort. Using the right vocabulary and sentence structure correctly requires a long process, but we can always invent new learning methods. We can go to parks or join English-speaking clubs for a chance to speak with foreigners, and that helps us improve our grammar and accent. Books, movies, songs, and newspapers in English are also what help us get used to how foreigners use it. The key to learning English is that we should not try to remember everything in the notebook, but we need to meet and practice it in real life. But learning English can be more effective when we can create our own learning styles.

In different countries around the world, there are many countries with different eating habits. So is the Vietnamese. We have a habit of organizing a combination meal, eating together, so members of the meal are related and closely dependent on each other, so we must be careful when sitting and eating. This is a high expression in Vietnamese community life. In the structure of Vietnamese meals, while other dishes are eaten by people, others are not, while rice and fish sauce are used by everyone. Therefore, the cup of gravy becomes a measure of thoughtfulness, measuring the level of human culture.
