Hue Ancient Capital
This year, my school organized a trip. We visited Hue Ancient Capital - a famous historical site of our homeland. I felt extremely excited and eager.
Last night, I prepared items for the trip. My mother also bought me snacks and drinks. At six o'clock in the morning, students had to gather at school. I woke up at five-thirty to get ready. Then, my mother took me to school. Upon arrival, I saw many cars parked at the school gate. The schoolyard was bustling and lively. Many parents brought their children to school. I bid farewell to my mother and walked inside. Many students were lining up on the schoolyard. I quickly found my class's position. The homeroom teacher asked the class monitor to take attendance. We lined up to get on the bus. At about seven-thirty, the bus departed. Along with us were the president and vice-president of the parents' association. Also, each class had a tour guide accompanying us. Our class’s guide was Miss Thu Ha. She was very friendly and enthusiastic. On the way, she chatted and exchanged stories with us quite joyfully.
After about ten minutes, the bus arrived. The whole class lined up in two rows, then went on the tour guided by the tour guide. At each site visited, we stopped to observe and listen to the tour guide's presentation about the place. Many friends asked interesting questions, which Miss Ha answered in detail. According to her introduction, Hue Imperial City was built in 1805 during the reign of Emperor Gia Long and extended for nearly thirty years until Emperor Minh Mang’s reign. The city consists of ten main gates. Inside the citadel are the Defensive Walls (built from 1805 - 1817), the Royal Palace and Forbidden City (1840), Nam Giao Esplanade... And also the famous tombs and royal palaces like Gia Long's Tomb (1814 - 1820), Minh Mang's Tomb (1820 - 1840), Tu Duc's Tomb (1864 -1867), which are very majestic and splendid.
After a day of sightseeing, I learned a lot of valuable knowledge, developing a greater love and pride for our nation's history. We also took many beautiful photos.
The trip was truly interesting and enjoyable. I hope there will be more trips in the future to learn more valuable lessons, and develop a greater love and pride for beautiful Vietnam.

Hoan Kiem Lake - Hanoi
My origin is from the capital Hanoi, but because my parents have lived in the South for many years, I haven't had many opportunities to visit my homeland. Until the last summer vacation, on the occasion of my uncle's wedding, I followed my father home to play. Hanoi is a land with four thousand years of civilization, so there are many historical sites marking the imprints of the ancestors. Among them, I am most interested in Hoan Kiem Lake, associated with the legend of King Le Loi returning the sword.
My father and I visited Ho Guom on a cool autumn afternoon. The atmosphere of Hanoi was very comfortable; one could feel the light chill of the autumn breeze, the faint scent of milk flowers somewhere and see the simple bicycles fully loaded with white daisies. Just these things made me love Hanoi much more. Hoan Kiem Lake is located in the center of Hanoi city, looking from above, it resembles a giant mirror reflecting bamboo, willow trees, and ancient trees whose origins are unknown by the lake's edge. The water of Ho Guom is clear and bright, reflecting the deep blue sky with fluffy white clouds hovering like soft cotton balls. The lake surface was calm, occasionally one could hear the sound of fish splashing, creating rippling circles spreading across the water. Yellow leaves quietly fell on the lake surface, gently floating on the waves, giving a strange calm feeling. In the distance ahead is Turtle Tower, perched on a mound in the middle of the tranquil lake with French architecture consisting of four floors. It exudes a meditative, solitary look with pale green moss, highlighting a life full of storms, witnessing countless changes in history. Looking northeast of the lake is the Ngoc Son Temple with The Huc Bridge painted red, radiantly under the sun. Looking to the northeast is the Pen Tower, comprising five floors standing tall pointing upward, next to it is the Ink Stone, together reflecting the cultural beauty and studious spirit of our people over generations. During the walk, I was fortunate to meet an elderly person who had lived in Hanoi all his life. He shared that Ho Guom was once a place for military parades and practice during the Nguyen Dynasty, also known as Thuy Quan Lake, with two parts: Ta Vong and Huu Vong, which intrigued me greatly. After bidding farewell to the elder, I continued the walk with my father by the lake, meeting many people enjoying the cool air, including lovers, happy families, and elderly people exercising, creating a vibrant and bustling scene.
The visit to Ho Guom left me with profound memories of a historical monument with thousands of years of history, witnessing all the changes of Hanoi across 4000 years of civilization. If given the chance to visit Hanoi, don’t forget to stop by Hoan Kiem Lake to once admire the ancient, silent, and nostalgic beauty right in the heart of this capital.

Hoa Lo Prison
War has ended, and the Vietnamese people live in peace. However, the consequences left by the war are immense. To understand the war's brutality more, I visited Hoa Lo Prison with my younger sister.
Hoa Lo Prison is located at No. 1 Hoa Lo Street, Tran Hung Dao Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. From home, we took a bus for about an hour to reach the place. Based on what I learned, Hoa Lo Prison was built by the French colonialists to detain very important Vietnamese revolutionary fighters.
Upon arrival, I bought tickets and entered with my sister. We visited the prison sections in sequence. Hoa Lo Prison is divided into several areas, including a house for guarding; a building for clinic use; a building for charitable hospital use; two buildings for pre-trial detention; a house as a workshop for carpentry, blacksmithing, sewing, and leather; five buildings for sentenced prisoners; four cell blocks for death row, dangerous prisoners, and those violating prison rules.
A common feature of the cells in Hoa Lo Prison is their cramped space with thick walls through which nothing could penetrate. The darkness, confinement, and suffocating environment make anyone feel terrified. But what impressed me most was the cell for death row inmates. The image of the guillotine placed in the central area, with its huge size, made me shudder, fearful of the French colonialists' cruelty. Perhaps that is why this place was dubbed the "hell on earth."
The trip to Hoa Lo Prison provided me with a wealth of useful knowledge. My sister and I both felt gratitude and admiration for the previous generation who sacrificed for the Vietnamese nation to live in peace and independence.

What are the perspectives on developing the Literature curriculum in Vietnam?
According to the General Education Program for Literature issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, perspectives on developing the Literature curriculum in Vietnam are as follows:
The Literature curriculum adheres to the basic regulations stated in the General Program while emphasizing several perspectives:
- The Literature curriculum is developed on theoretical and practical foundations, updates on research achievements in education, psychology, and teaching methodology of Vietnamese literature; achievements in literature and linguistics research; achievements in Vietnamese literature across various periods; experiences in developing Vietnamese literature curricula, particularly from the early 21st century until now, and international trends in curriculum development in general, and the Literature curriculum in particular over recent years, especially from developed countries; societal practice, education, economic conditions, and Vietnamese cultural tradition, especially the diversity of students in terms of regions, conditions, and learning abilities.
- The Literature curriculum focuses on training communication skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) as a central theme throughout all three education levels to meet the program's capacity-oriented direction and ensure coherence and continuity across all grades and levels. Fundamental, foundational knowledge about the Vietnamese language and literature is formed through activities in comprehending and creating texts; directly serving the requirement of training in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.
- The Literature curriculum is developed with an open approach, reflected in not specifying detailed teaching content but stipulating the outcomes needed in reading, writing, speaking, and listening for each grade; delineating some basic, core knowledge about the Vietnamese language, literature, and some texts with a significant, crucial position in national literature as mandatory content for students nationwide.
- The Literature curriculum meets both the innovation requirements and emphasizes inheriting and enhancing the strengths of existing Vietnamese literature curricula, especially the current one.
