brother and love to talk and hang out with my parents . As a family, we understand that
spending quality time with the family is very important.

LEARNING ENGLISH 
1. How long have you been learning English ?
I started learning English when I was in elementary school.
2. Do you have difficulties learning English ?In your opinion ,what aspects of
learning English are the most difficult?
I have a lot of difficulties when I learn English.Talking about learning
English, it is similar to learning a new language in general. In my
point of view, the most challenging part in learning English is when
we are brand new to the language, and putting some effort into
developing knowledge from time to time. 
 In my point of view, the hardest aspect of learning English is
pronunciation .When learning a language, it is important to pronounce
correctly so that the word can be heard, understood and spoken by
the other person. However, for Vietnamese people, learning English
pronunciation is a problem. Words stressing or pressing the last
sounds of words make it difficult to pronounce any word correctly. Not
only about pronunciation, one of the difficulties of learning English
can also arise from finding ideas, vocabulary, forming sentences to
respond / respond (Communication reflex).

being the transition between summer & winter. Moreover,There is a lot of sunshine,
but there are no more bright, hot days like summer

place that has four seasons?
I would go for the second option because I can’t stand boredom. I love the
diversity and variety in nature that four seasons offer. For me, life is worth
living only when there is always something different to look forward to.I like
living where there are four seasons because I can experience many good
things about different seasons
