What I’ve Learnt…

This project helps me to know more about my friends, their cultures, and also include my family. I learned that even though we may all come from Vietnam, but we have different ways of celebrate our holidays, or cultures. Before this presentation, I didn’t really know where exactly my family comes from, and so I asked my mom, and she told me everything. I know that on my dad side, they are part of Chinese, but I didn’t know my mom side was Chinese also. She told me where my great grandmother used to live, and how she came to Vietnam. She also told me how my great grandmother met my great grandfather.She told me how she had Vietnamese last name, but her family was Chinese.


There were another thing that I like about this project is I found out that Wendy is Nguyen Trai’s great great great great granddaughter. I was very surprised when she said that, because Nguyen Trai was a very famous Vietnamese’s general.

One Place That I Have Been

Describe one place that you have been. You must discuss at least three physical characteristics and two human/evironment interactions.

I went to Nha Trang with Tien this summer, and Nha Trang was a beautiful place. This is not the first time I came to Nha Trang, but I still love this place. We stayed at Tien's house, and in front of her house was a beach, the beach was beautiful, and its water look fresh and deep blue. The climate was not great, because sometimes it too sunny, and sometimes it rain. You can barely see the top of the mountains because of the fog, and because its very high.

I saw lots of people who came to Nha Trang and dive down to the ocean. Tien and I didn't dive, because I didn't want to, and because Tien, she had seasick. At night, there are people taking a walk at the seaside, and also there's people who selling food, so you may want to come to Nha Trang and try some while you sit on the sand, and talking to your friends, or your family.
