to go . That will be very convenient for them .

It ‘s up to each person , but in my opinion they like the feeling of being

traffic )

services?

(ne – ti – zần ) will find and comment on negative words on the
referee’s Facebook account )

complain about ?

nowadays. Fake products sold at very high prices which cause
frustration (fhơ-tray-sần )for people .

real experience

you’ve achieved.

can't do something, but when they patiently do it again and again,
don't give up, the results they achieve are really worth it.

3. Which do you think is more important for people to become

successful ? Hard work or opportunities ?.

I have always believed that success requires constant effort and is only
for those who are not afraid of challenges. Enthusiasm, diligence in any
work will help you. Remember that the difference between successful
people and unsuccessful people is the difference that comes from their
efforts

I think it depends on the case. If you succeed the first time, it will help

inexperienced, complacent and have no will to strive, only relying on
luck.

students will develop. comprehensive development

convenient and comfortable

many purposes such as business, making friends, teaching,.
