a subject should be removed from high school education programmes
In Vietnam school, I am going to suggest that philosophy could be taken out of the education programmes for the grade 10 students (about 15 or 16 years old) . In my experience, philosophy at high school tends to include justification theory about belief, certainty, doubt,quality and quantity,eg.
There are a few reasons why I think that philosophy are unnecessary . Firstly, most of the theories are too difficult and too advanced for the 15- aged students to understand . Consequently, they hardly apply those theories in their daily living and they feel bored in the class. Secondly, the teaching method is not suitable or interesting enough to attract to students . Even many teachers don't understand the spirit of the subject . As a result, they can't make any lesson perfectly.
From my view, philosophy should be taught in the last year high school when the students are mature enough to understand and apply them more easier. They will obtain more knowledge about laws of society, historical laws or economic laws, eg.
Instead of philosophy, high school students should learn about soft skills because they need to learn some basics about communication skills, determining skills, or how to face to the problem, eg. These knowledge were likely to help them when find jobs or solve any problem.

How much is enough?
My pronunciation is not good, especially when I say something which words contain "r". I try to spend one hour per day to practice pronunciation as a beginner. I wonder whether one hour is enough?

IELTS speaking about my primary school [ 2 mins]
I am appreciated for any helps and advice for my notebook entry. Thank you.
"I'm going to talk about my primary school. My school was called Nguyen Thuong Hien primary school. It was in Binh Thanh district, quite near the city center. The location was great because it just took us 10 mins from my house by bike and I remember that my mom often rode for me every morning and I often walked back home every afternoon, sometimes with my friends.
I was a pupil between the ages of 5 and 10, the full 5 years primary education. From age 10 onwards, I went to a nearby secondary school.
My school seemed like a big place at the time. It has 2 blocks, 3-floored building, a very big school yard with lots of tall trees and the whole school often gathered at the school year every Monday morning to hear the message from the headmaster.
I liked all of my teachers. They were very caring and strict at the same time. I think they fostered a positive and fun atmosphere to the school.
I love my primary school years because I had a lot of nice memories with friends and teachers. I remember one of my vivid memories is of performing in a musical competition in my final year and I won the prize at that time. I was a great experience for a ten-year-girl to perform in a public place. "

a letter for asking permission
Hi, I am going to travel to Singapore next week. I am planning to visit the ABC farm where is a organic farm in Singapore. I think that it is very important to send a letter to them to ask for the visiting. This is my ideas for the letter, I hope someone can help me to correct my writing mistakes. Thank you very much.
" Dear ABC Farm
My name is TN. I work as a high school chemistry teacher in Vietnam. I have known about your organic farm via the website WWOOF Singapore and it inspired me a lot. As you know my field is chemistry so I am interested in environmental conservation and green farm. I love to experience as a volunteer working in farm or garden.
I will quit my current job at the end of this year and start a gap year as a volunteer with WWOOF next year before I go for the master degree in Environmental Science.
So I am writing this email to ask for a permission so see whether I can visit your farm for one day next week ( schedule time) .
I hope you will consider for my asking.
I am looking forward to your reply soon.
Thank you for taking time for my email.
Sincerely,
T N

My hello.
I am a Chemistry teacher in high school in Vietnam. I've been learning English for almost 15 years, but truly, after graduating from high school, I couldn't communicate in English at all, so I was afraid of English. Then I started learning Japanese when I was in university but I had to stopped it after two years since I realised that I need English as the important requirement to get a scholarship to study abroad. In addition, I love traveling and experiencing new things as well as exploring this world, so I think English can help me to make my dream come true. As a result, returned to learn English as a child. I learned by myself, by Internet, English movies, English articles,etc... Furthermore, I've joined to website Couchsurfing.com to meet international friends who want to travel to Viet nam and be their free tour guide. After 2 years, I made an significant progress by my self, now I feel confident to talk to the native English speakers, I can understand what Ellen talking in her talk show
( actually, just 50-60%), I have many international friends and still keep in touch.I am happy with that.
am trying to practice for the IELTS test. So I 've joined this website since I hope someone can help me correct my writing.
I am very appreciated for any helps or advices from anyone .
Thank you.
P.S: In my turn, If anyone need to learn Vietnamese, feel free to ask, I am willing to help you.
