Hi, everyone! We arrived safely in Paris on Saturday evening. It was very windy and rainy, so the flight was a bit bumpy. Emma screamed when the plane landed! Hilarious, lol! The weather is much better now. Still cloudy, but it's stopped raining.

We've already been up the Eiffel Tower. We took the lift up, but walked back down the stairs. We've also walked down the Champs Elysées. The shops there are really expensive, so I didn't buy anything! ! Yesterday we went on a boat trip on the river Seine and then visited the Louvre art gallery. We saw the Mona Lisa, which was a bit disappointing. It's tiny!

Tomorrow we are going to visit Disneyland. It isn't far from here. Can't wait! Then on Friday we're going shopping (but not on the Chams Elysées!) — I want to buy some souvenirs. Will post another entry tomorrow when we're back from Disneyland.

Sorry I haven’t posted since Friday! Arrived in Tri An (Dong Nai Province) two days ago with Joanna after a tiring journey by coach from Ho Chi Minh City. There were roadworks on the motorway and an accident, so the Journey took five hours instead of two. We're staying in a small inn. It’s near a lake. The weather is sunny and dry and I can see a small wood from my window.

We've already been kayaking on the lake. The kayaking was fun and fantastic, but a bit scary! Tomorrow we're going biking.

We're going to hire bikes from a shop near the inn. Really looking forward to it! Watch out for more blog entries in the next few days!

1. FINDING HISTORY (tìm hiểu lịch sử)          

2. WEEKEND FUN (cuối tuần vui vẻ)

January 15

Metal detecting is a great hobby for people interested in history. I first tried it after I got a metal detector for my tenth birthday. I saved up my money and bought a new one last year. Now that I have my own one, I go metal detecting every weekend.

I usually go with my friend, Adam. It's more fun to go with someone else because you have someone to talk to.

It can take hours before you find something. Last Sunday, after I spent the whole day looking, I only found an old bottle top. So, you don't always find treasure!

People think it's an expensive hobby, but I don't think so. The last metal detector I bought cost me two hundred dollars. But apart from that, you only need a cheap shovel and lots of time. Some of my friends think it's boring, but I disagree. The noise your metal detector makes when it finds something is really exciting. There's so much history under the ground. Last summer, Adam and I found a really old gold coin. It was over a thousand years old. It's in the Oregon History Museum now. That was pretty amazing.

Visiting Family in My Hometown

Mar 29, 2022

Vy Nguyễn

Hi, everyone! Sorry didn't post anything last week I couldn't use my computer because wasn't at home.

I visited my family in my hometown. It's a small village in the country, about 200 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. My hometown is very different from the city. It's smaller, and it's much more traditional.

Here, the kids never play computer games, and they rarely watch TV. They prefer to play outdoors. They play sports and folk games. The girls love to jump rope and pick flowers. The boys love to play tug of war and soccer. I often play with the kids here, but I don't like to run around during the day because the weather is usually so sunny and hot.

I prefer to play chess because it's more relaxing than some folk games. My uncle and I sometimes sit down and play it under a tree.

What are your favorite activities?

D. Read the following extract of three online texts. Where do you think they are from? Why?

3. A tourist website_____
