Response #4

             Do you like reading? If someone asked me this question 7 years ago, I would say No without thinking. I remember when I was a little boy, my father bought many book for me to read, but I had never finished anybook. However, when I was in university, I read lots of business books. At first, I have just read books because I must read them, they are my homework, and I have to read to get knowledge about my major. After a few week, I realized that reading book was not as boring as I thought. Then I am excting when I read books.
             I like to read business books, sometimes I read comic books. I used to read the biography of Bill Clinton President - New Life - which I was very interesting. I think this is the biggest book I have ever read. I like the way which Bill Clinton used to decribe his childhood and his experiences during his being a President period.
             I used to hate novel, yet when my friend gave me a novel of Guillaume Musso, one of the bestselling authors in French today,  I become a novel addict. However, I just addicted Guillaume Musso books. I have read many novels of him such as: Skidamarink; Afterwards; A Mis-Up in Heaven; Will You Be There?; Lost and Found; One Day, Perhaps; Where I Would Be Without You; Call form an Angel, and so on. At first, I just read these book in Vietnamese, now I am trying to reading English version.
            I think reading book is a very good habbit. You can get much more knowlegde when you read. besides that, reading is very useful for writing skill. The more you reading, the better you writing.
            Thanks you for your reading,

Response # 3: Dream Jobs

           When I was a little boy, I had many dream jobs. Until now, I have still thought about them. I remember when  I was 5-6 years old, my family went to travel by air plane, and this was the first time I knew what the plane was, so I was so excited.When I was on the board, I saw the pilot and his crews - the flight attendants - I was very admire them. I thought that they were so cool, and I wished I could become a pilot or a flight attendant. If I was them, I could fly any where and I did not need to pay money for the ticket (it was my thinking at that time, and it was so stupid). I still kept this dream job until I was in high school. Unfortunately, when I was 16, my eyes were short-sighted (I played game a lots), and there was a crazy rule that a myopic person can not apply to school to training the pilot. I was very shock when I knew that news. I was very upset and I implored my parents for eyes surgeon. However, my mother disagreed, she always scared about surgeon. So I must abandon my dream job. 
             One year later, I decided to become a tourist guide. My family has gone to travel twice a year, and I realize that being a tourist guide is as excited as a pilot or flight attendant. If I become a tourist guide, I can go many places and meet many people. I love travel, so I can improve my knowledge about many things related to travel. So I told my parents that I will be a tourist guide. OMG, when I told that, my parent said NO. My father said that being a tourist guide was a good job, but I must be gone to outside a lots, I have no time for my family in future. If I do not spend time enough for my wife and my children, my family will not happy. I have thought about the advice of my father for several weeks, and I gave up my second dream job. My father is a businessman so he want me to become a businessman like him. After I graduated from high school, I applied to study in an economic university. At first, I did not really like to study in this school, I just studied to make my parent happy, but after one year, I started interested in my major (my major is banking). Now I can say my dream job is work for a bank.
