Example 1

Hanoi Capital - Indescribable Emotions

Though I am not a native of Hanoi, since childhood, I have heard much about this thousand-year-old land of civilization, and as I learned more about it, my heart resonated even more.

I realize Hanoi is an extraordinarily beautiful place. From the early days of spelling out words, in my mind as a primary school student at that time, I knew about the red The Huc bridge in lessons about Sword Lake, learned about the sacred Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum through stories and documentaries, and was impressed by the bustling yet ancient 36 streets that appeared on postcards and in poetry... In the movies, songs, and images I have come to know, Hanoi in my heart is not only ancient streets but also modern and vibrant architectural works. Wide squares and towering, lighted buildings make me feel the modern and dynamic nature of this city. When setting foot here, I do not feel unfamiliar, only an increased sense of attachment and closeness to this thousand-year-old cultural capital.

Arriving in Hanoi on a chilly winter's afternoon, with rare golden sunbeams dancing on tree branches, I love the sensation of walking under the yellow leaves along the renowned Hoang Dieu and Phan Dinh Phung streets, shaded by ancient trees and peaceful French architectural buildings, contrasting starkly with the bustling traffic on the roads.

Example 2

Feelings on Uncle Ho’s Homeland - Nghe An

Nghe An - The land that has produced countless generations of renowned talents, poets, writers, distinguished revolutionaries, historical figures, cultural and scholarly greats for our Vietnam. Most notably, it is also the birthplace of the great leader of the Vietnamese people - President Ho Chi Minh.

Surely, every Vietnamese desires to have the opportunity to visit Uncle Ho's homeland, to remember and appreciate his tremendous contributions to the nation and to admire the serene beauty of Nghe An. In my journey to Uncle Ho’s hometown in Nghe An, I not only experienced profound emotions but was also immersed in very special historical horizons.

In the cool air with slight spring drizzle, I set foot on the land of Kim Lien commune, Nam Dan district, Nghe An province.

**Write about your dreams, your aspirations to build a more beautiful country. (The essay should not exceed 800 words).**Template 1

In my soul, dreams and aspirations for building a more beautiful homeland are not just personal desires but also the responsibility and mission of every Vietnamese citizen. I believe that to build a prosperous and beautiful nation, we need determination and unwavering efforts.

One of my greatest dreams is to build a fair and sustainable society. I dream of a nation where all citizens, regardless of social status or economic condition, have equal opportunities to develop. This desire sets the goal of political rectification, constructing a comprehensive educational system, and creating a healthy business environment so that everyone can contribute to the prosperity of the country.

Template 2

When speaking about dreams, Les Brown (a famous American speaker and author) once encouraged: "You cannot be weak on the path to pursuing your dreams. Dare to overcome barriers to find your own path." Indeed, when we dare to set dreams and strive to pursue them, we will conquer that desire.

Those dreams are the good things ahead that we long for. At different stages of life, we have different dreams. As children, we naively wish to become princesses to meet a prince; as we grow older, we wish to become pilots, doctors, or teachers... But no matter what the desire is, it requires effort for it to become a reality. Because on the journey to conquer dreams, everyone has to face many challenges that hinder their steps.

In the journey of building the nation, I nurture dreams and aspirations to create a country that is not only strong in economy but also prosperous in humanity and environment.

I dream of a fair society where everyone has equal opportunities to develop.
