One of the easiest and easiest part-time jobs to make money is probably tutoring. I’m a Maths tutor for two kids of a family. They’re twins and both in grade 6. I usually tutor every 4-6 nights and even Saturday and Sunday. I find this job from accidently from Facebook. First, I think I didn’t have any experience in teaching anyone so I decided to ignore the post, but I want to try this job so much so I leaved a comment under that post. After 2 days, I received a message from the family that I can go to their home and teach their kids. At the first time, there was some small difficulties about how to convey my knowledge to the kids, but it’s okay in the next 2 days. The twins are so cute and intelligient so I have a really good relationship with them. I turn the this job into a job I love, and since then I have been more motivated to work.
Thanks to my hard work, my income could reach 4 million a month. For a student like me while studying and working, this is a fairly high salary. This job brings me many interesting experience to my now and then work.
Card 3: Talk about a special holiday or trip.
You should say: what it was when and where you went what you did And explain why it is special to you.
Weather is always hot in
summers, that is why many people choose to escape the heat by going to somewhere cold such as Da Lat or Sapa. And lucky for me, last summer I had had a great chance to go to Da Lat with my friends on my summer holiday.
To me, the weather there was so perfect, it was still always cold during that summer. The atmosphere there was very clean and fresh, which made me feel very comfortable. Which made me surprised most is that the hotel we stayed has no air-conditional, but we still felt cold, that’s awesome.
We stayed there for about 2 weeks and we had gone to many spectacular places. We went to Love valley- one of the greatest tourists attraction in Da Lat, Elephant falls, Lang Biang, Dambri waterfall.
I also had chance to try out various food, drink, and fresh fruit. I really liked the mulberry smoothy there, avocado ice cream, fruit jam which was made totally from real fresh fruit,….They were all very tasty.
Especially, Da Lat had a number of beautiful scenery, much lovely coffee shop, and attractive spots that made me want to take a lot of picture to keep the memory. There was also a night market, always crowded with customers, where people can buy food, flowers, or any stuff they want. I had gone there and buy many gifts for my family. It was an unforgettable trip, I was quite upset that I could not stay there for a long time, but I hoped I still can visit Da Lat whenever I have time, and I really recommend you went to Da Lat for holiday, it is very wonderful!
Card 4: Describe an activity you like doing to keep healthy. You should say: what it is when and where you do it how it keeps you healthy And explain why you like doing it.
When talking about a way to have good health, the first thing that comes into my mind is to drink a cup of warm water with lemon in the morning.
I have started developing this habit since I came across an article from the guardian.com website, which is a popular newspaper on the Internet. According to the article, if people build up the habit of kicking off the new day with a glass of lemon juice, it might be wholly beneficial to their physical and mental health.
I could start off by saying that by drinking lemon juice, each individual will flush out harmful toxins in the body and enhance your digestive system. They may feel less hungry, and this helps them to lose weight caused by overeating. In addition, lemon water is rich in vitamin C, which boosts our immune system to fight off common diseases such as cold. When a person drinks about one liter of water per day, it can also prevent the skin from aging and make it more radiant. Last but not least, drinking lemon juice can ward off stress and depression, leading to the increase in the productivity of working or studying.
Thanks to that article, since I have got into this routine, I feel healthier and revitalized and I recommend this way to my friends.
Card 5:
Describe an important event in your life.
You should say: what the event was where and when it took place who was there and explain what made it important to you. I would love to tell you about one of the most important events in my life, which is my 18th birthday.
By that time, I had just graduated from high school. This was such a turning point in my life – I had to leave my hometown behind to move to a new city where I knew almost no one. I was kinda clueless about my future without family and closest friends by my side.
And there came my birthday. Luckily it was on weekends so I decided to return home to celebrate it with people I loved. That event indeed refreshed me. Once again, I was surrounded by my family and friends whom I had always missed from far away.
What happened was that we had meaningful conversations. In these conversations, I had a chance to express all my feelings, like how homesick I was, and how lonely I felt when I was in a new environment. My parents and friends encouraged me a lot by saying that I got their back anywhere anytime. They would always be there for me.
From that moment on, I realized that I had grown up with much love and support. I felt bigger and stronger. Thanks to that, it can be difficult to stay away from them, but I feel like I can stand on my own feet.
