Day 18: Hang Day stadium and ...

Hang Day had been the most popular stadium to football supporters in Hanoi before the My Dinh national stadium was used. On November 24 2018, there was a football match between Vietnam and Cambodia of The 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup. Maybe this was the last match of Hang Day stadium because after that match, Hang Day would will be rebuilt. This stadium went along with so many national football matches and a lot of unforgettable memories. From Especially the golden generation of football players in the 1998 Tiger Cup, which will be called AFF Cup now, they who were talented and played with enthusiasm and a fair play spirit. At the time, Hang Day was always full of supporters. However many years later, football supporters came to watch less. That was a dark period of Vietnamese football when football players did not play for their honour, not for their nation and not for their supporters also. They played selfishly and ugly and the worst thing that some players did was that they got involved in a match fixing. They draw an ugly picture of the national team and most of the supporters no longer went to any stadium to watch football.
Luckily, the dark time seemed to stay behind backward when a new golden generation was born. They were collected and trained at the age of 10. They were not only trained about playing football, but also studied as other kids including foreign languages. The supporters started to come back stadiums to watch football when this generation played at U19 game. Some of audiences could not hide their emotions and said that they thanked the U19 players so much because they brought to the audiences a very beautiful match with a lot of emotions and that it had been a long time ago they could feel happy like that.
This year, several football matches were held at Hang Day and each match was all full of audiences. However there was a difference in comparison with 1998's audiences. In the last golden time, most of the audiences were men ( adults). Nowaday, the audiences include old people, young people (both men and women) and children.

Day 22 : A Dutch movie.

"Cool kids don't cry" is the Dutch movie I mention above. Actually movies or films from the Netherlands is are not usually popular in Vietnam. I never watched one before. Last month I bumped into a music video on Youtube named "Under-one of the most emotional songs in the world". The video was a short summary of a film about a girl who had a cancer and her friends. The song's lyrics appeared in both English and Vietnamese. At the end of the video clip, there was an introduction of an English course which co-operated with Effortless English. Then I knew the movie's name "Cool kids don't cry". I thought it was an English speaking movie but I was wrong. I found only one full movie with Vietnamese subtitles. Of course the movie's voices were changed to avoid copyright claim. I was impressed by the film's story, the way pupils sat together as a group of four to study ied, the way the teacher and the doctor cared about the main character when she was ill. Little actress Hanna Obbeek who played the main role-Akkie did a great job in this movie and so did other actors and actresses. This movie was for children but it was not a happy ending movie. However it was not a tragic one like most of films or movies from the East. Akkie was so brave when facing ed to the truth that she had a cancer. She always showed her optimistic side and was full of energy in front of other people. Day by day she became weaker and weaker until that she could not get out of her bed in the hospital while but she always wished she could play soccer or at least could watch her friends playing.
Her friends persuaded the doctor and her parents to allow ed them to play soccer in the hospital's yard so Akkie could watch them play through the window from her room. Akkie died peacefully at the end.

Day 19 : Advertising ideas

Today I watched a music video many times. Actually I watched it one time and then I listened to it many times. This song was released a few years ago but somehow this was the first time I listened to the whole song. In my opinion it is a cool song, its MV is also pretty nice. "Đi thật xa để trở về" is the song's name. Its literal translation is "Go to come back". The song talked about feelings of a young boy who was eager to discover discovering new places. He liked solo travelling and in the MV there were many peaceful places of the countrysides of Vietnam. He sang that everybody's youth was a journey s and it was great when he could enjoy travelling to new places to learn more and got become more mature. He realized that the more and the further he went the more homesick he felt. The most important thing and the most happiest thing was that there was a home, and a family for him to come back to. Going along with the young boy's journeys was his backpack and his shoes - Biti's Hunter - one of shoe brands made in Vietnam.
Biti's brand was very popular when I was a kid with a familiar slogan "Nâng niu bàn chân Việt"-"Biti's cherishing Vietnamese' foot" or "Embrace every step". I did not know how to translate it correctly so I referred a friend's opinions. However its fame faded year after year because Biti's did not catch up to customer 's trends. Recently Biti's has been changing their policy, and changing their ways to meet customers' needs.
Travelling and solo travelling are becoming more and more popular in Vietnam. It followed a new trend of young people. According to this new trend, Biti's has cooperated with a young popular song writer and a hot singer to make out a music video to advertise Biti's Hunter. "Go to come back" became a hit and Biti's Hunter even could did not even have enough shoes to sell. Biti's jumped a big step to come back to the top of the hot shoe brands in Vietnam.

Day 20 : A course of learning to become rich

What do would you think if someone invited you to join a meeting talking about how to become rich ? It will not take any fee. All you have to do is come and listen to their introduction. The n investing decision would just depend s on you. First ly, they introduce themselves as billionaires and they who are very famous. Their properties are present both in and outside of your country. Enrichment is easy to them and it will be too easy to all of you if you join their course. They commit that you will make much more money after finishing the course. So the fee you have to take pay at beginning is nothing in comparison to the with your money you will make after. It is only one thousand dollars. Then they make the atmosphere more dynamic with by playing games, dancing, and singing. At the end of the meeting, they will say that you all are very lucky because if you had joined the meeting before or after, the fee would have been higher. One thousand dollars is their discount fee. Then most of the people in the meeting raise their hands to join the course. Would you raise your hand in that case?

So many people invested in the course which be introduced that they would make more money but there was not only one course. Now they are not any richer yet and instead but have become debtors.

1. If you are asking someone to imagine a situation then you need to use the verb "would".
Example: if someone invited you to go to a meeting to help you get rich *would* you go?  Would goes with the word IF

2. When someone says to imagine if you did something differently then use the word - had
what if i *had* gone to the store, then we would have a lot of food right now.
