My vacation

Last summer, my close friend and me I travelled to Vung tau beach, which is located in Vung Tau city in the southern of Viet Nam and I was really impressed with there it.

To arrive at the destination, we catch caught a coach from the Dat Mui where the end point of Viet Nam’s broundary is. When we reached there, to be honest, the scenery appealed to me a lot, especially the city and the beach. Vung Tau is a small, clean and beautiful city which around is surrounded by beach. It takes about 15 minitures minutes to visit all around all the city with a motorbike. From the Hai Dang light, all views of whole city opened before my eyes and the beach itself was absolutely breathtaking and the crystal water seemed to be stretch endlessly to be the horizon. In addition, from a distance, I saw the oil refinery over the large sea.

Viewing Watching on the beach, many people were enjoying the scenery, some were swimming while their children were making sandcatles castles. My friend and I still drived with slowing speed drove slowly on a street beside on the beach by motorbike.

Actually, this vacation gave me to chance to relax and all my worries seemed to fall away. Therefore, I hope that we will be able to enjoy more holidays like this in the next year.

The English exam for new semester

I heard a bad news this afternoon--my university will ask everyone to take an English exam at the beginning of next semester. I really dislike exams, but I have to prepare for it since I have to take it. The exam will have two parts: one is for listening, the other is writing.

For listening, I can understand very standard voices such as BBC or VOA as they speak slowly. If I am familiar with one topic, I can understand more when they speak really fast. But it's really hard for me to grasp the idea of people's casual talk, like TV shows, movies etc. They are really quite fast and with some idioms!

For writhing, my vocabulary is a big problem. I often would like to say something but can't find the exact word or sentence patterns. The same for speaking. So I guess I should learn more words and not only know how to say or spell them, but also learn the way to use them.

I'll try to write more if possible. I'm so lazzy. Every time I told myself to write something today, I failed. But this time, I'll try, because I have exams now. Let's see exam will work or not haha.

Thank you for helping me correct them, many thanks!!!

 

the last sentence in yellow.. I'm not sure if you mean 'see if you pass or not'?

'see if exam will work' doesnt make sense.

maybe try 'let's see if my hard work helps me pass or not, haha' ?

 

apart from that, excellent writing!

i don't quite understand. could you rephrase the question

a 'typical night out' would be getting dressed up, going to the cinema or the pub, out with friends etc 'typical night in' is staying at home. maybe watching a movie or have friends around
