1) What advice would you give someone on how to study English?

- There are many ways to learn English depending on learner’s
conditions, interests and proficiency. The best way is that you put
yourself in an English speaking environment. You can listen to English
songs, see English films. Furthermore, communicating with a native
speaker, participating in an English speaking club are very good to
improve your English as well.
2) Do you think being a student is the best time of your life? Why/
why not?
- In my opinion being a student is the best time of one’s life because
we have an exciting, wonderful time with friends at university. At that
time, people are young, strong, carefree and eager to explore new
knowledge. They are willing to do voluntary work without thinking
about themselves.
3) Should a student’s university education be free (học phí miễn phí)
or should the students have to get a loan (vay tiền đóng học phí)?
Explain your choice.
- In my view university education should be free for some specific
majors, such as police, military education because those are
demanding jobs. People who are devoted to them may sacrifice their
 life to defend the motherland. However, most fields in education
should not be free. Students should understand the value of their
education in order to try harder. The money should be paid for training
facilities, materials, administration and education affairs.
