My ideal planet for humans to live on would provide a suitable amount of energy and heat for life to thrive.  I suppose that we will be taller, stronger and more intelligent in our new life. The planet would have a diverse range of landscapes, which has a comfortable climate that was not too extreme, with plenty of freshwater sources and a variety of plant and animal species to support a healthy ecosystem. I expect that the inhabitants will have a strong sense of community and a deep connection to the natural environment, with a shared commitment to preserving the planet for future generations. In terms of technology, humans will invent advanced infrastructure to support modern living, including reliable communication networks, efficient transportation systems, and sustainable sources of energy.

1. Lifebuoy Matcha shower gel

160,000 VND

I bought Lifebuoy Matcha shower gel last month, and I would say it's a good product for the body. This product is extracted from two natural ingredients, matcha and bitter melon, to help kill bacteria and purify the skin from dirt. In particular, those who are experiencing difficult-to-solve back acne, regular use of this product will help remove dirt in the pores, reduce inflammation, and limit acne scars so that you can confidently show off smooth, blemish-free skin. The downside is that the product can cause irritation to sensitive skin because of its bactericidal effect, you should research and test it before long-term use. It's really a must-have item, so I will give it 5 stars.

2. Bluetooth headphone HOCO

(Tai nghe bluetooth HOCO)

300,000 – 500,000 VND

This is a product with an affordable price, suitable for many people. It’s very convenient to listen anytime, anywhere. In addition to advantages such as sound quality and great design, it also has ear pads that help the wearer feel no pain when using. The biggest disadvantage is genuine accessories are not available, so that it will be difficult to replace when damaged.

The Tam Dao salamander or Vietnamese salamander (Paramesotriton deloustali) lives in Vietnam ( in streams of mountains in Tam Đảo, Vĩnh Phúc, Tuyên Quang and Thái Nguyên province). It can grow to 144 – 206 millimetres. It eats small animals such as insects, worm spiders, tadpoles, baby frogs and moss. It’s in danger now and it’s rare. The biggest problem is habitat loss and poaching. You can find information on Việt Nam’s Red List. It explains how to protect the salamander. For example, we can stop poaching it and conserve its natural habitats.

Vũng Tàu is in the south of Việt Nam. It's got a population of over 1,000,000 in 2019. It's very modern and the people are really friendly. There are many beautiful beaches, green parks, some shopping malls, office buildings and factories here. Côn Đảo, Hồ Chí Minh City, and Đà Lạt are some quite nice places not far from Vũng Tàu. I sometimes visit these places for holidays, but Vũng Tàu is more fantastic.

Vũng Tàu ở phía nam Việt Nam. Nó có dân số hơn 1.000.000 vào năm 2019. Nó rất hiện đại và người dân thực sự thân thiện. Có rất nhiều bãi biển đẹp, công viên cây xanh, một số trung tâm mua sắm, cao ốc văn phòng và nhà máy ở đây. Côn Đảo, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và Đà Lạt là một số địa điểm khá đẹp cách Vũng Tàu không xa. Tôi thỉnh thoảng đến thăm những nơi này vào những ngày nghỉ, nhưng Vũng Tàu thì tuyệt vời hơn.
