Next is the tourist destination that I look forward to the most on this trip, none
other than Hoi An. Hoi An ancient town is a famous city of Quang Nam province,
an ancient town that is kept almost intact with more than 1,000 ancient
architectural relics, streets, houses, assembly halls, temples, temples, churches,

both sacred and beautiful like a fairyland.

understanding but also the experience when I entered a new land with so many
cultural beauties that do not belong to history but also to people here, spiritually
when we visited two ancient and sacred temples. After the field trip to the central
region, I saw that 21st century skills are truly necessary for my current life.
Specifically, there are the following 5 skills that I have learned from life
experiences when applying during the trip : critical thinking and problem solving ,
communication skill, flexibility and adaptability, cultural collaboration skill, digital
literacy.

 Cultural Collaboration: Participating in group activities, such as guided tours

or cultural workshops, fostered collaboration and teamwork with fellow
travelers and locals.
 Adaptability: Navigating unfamiliar environments and unforeseen
challenges honed my adaptability and problem-solving skills.
  Communication: Engaging with locals and fellow travelers facilitated cross-
cultural communication and collaboration.
 Critical Thinking: Analyzing historical contexts and interpreting cultural
significance sharpened my critical thinking abilities.
 Digital Literacy: Utilizing technology for navigation and documenting
experiences improved my digital literacy and resourcefulness.

I was profoundly affected by this seven-day adventure. Beyond just sightseeing, I

learned a great deal about the history, people, and culture of Vietnam. By forcing
me to leave my comfort zone, adjust to new surroundings, and value different
viewpoints, the trip promoted personal growth.
As I think back on the event, I see how crucial it is to accept cultural diversity and
pursue lifelong learning. A desire to see more of the world was piqued by the trip. I
am appreciative of the experiences made and the abilities learned since they have
helped me become a more knowledgeable, flexible, and culturally sensitive person.

Question 2 (5 points): Write about an essay of 300 words what made your deepest
impression of “GALA EVENING” in Cua Lo, Nghe An Province with your
teachers and friends.

An amazing and remarkable incident occurred during the gala supper held during
the English department field trip. The most striking feature of that gala meal was
the opulent, sophisticated, yet cozy and private ambiance we were surrounded by. I
can clearly recall the thrill and expectation I had heading into this event.
The hotel, with its elegant interior design and well-decorated space, was less than a
kilometer away from the beach for the event. A sophisticated and romantic
ambiance was produced by the shimmering lights, soft music coming from the
speakers, and the well-organized, striking rows of chairs. Looking like we were
entering a royal dinner, we donned glitzy attire.

The gala's music and performances added to the evening's specialness, with each
act making a lasting impression on the audience. I recall the gifted students'
energetic singing performances, live dance routines, and witty comedy in which a
teacher and driver were featured. In addition, I was genuinely startled, delighted,
and moved by the brief film that reflected on our trip and expressed sincere
gratitude to our drivers and professors. It was a memorable night due to the lively
atmosphere and contagious excitement of everyone.

And lastly, the happiness I experienced with my professors and friends will never
leave me. In order to assist us retain a portion of those priceless memories, we sat
down and shared meaningful images while writing down our deepest emotions. All
of these photos were later put online. In addition to developing our relationships,
this was a wonderful opportunity to grow up and make cherished experiences that
will last a lifetime. The value of relationships and shared experiences comes back
to me as I think back on the Gala Evening in Cua Lo. It was a celebration of our
connections and the memories we've made together, not just a get-together. I will
always have a particular place in my heart for this evening as a representation of
harmony and friendship.
