NORTH BAY AND MY HOME TOWN
  There are so many different things between North Bay and my hometown.  My hometown is one of the biggest cities in my country, but North Bay is a small city in Canada. Because my country is in a tropical area, so the temperature of my hometown is about 22oC to 30oC; there are two seasons: the wet and the dry. The dry comes from spring to the end of summer. Sometimes it rains but there is a little. The temperature is high, in some cases, it’s very hot. The temperature increases to 400C The wet season comes from the beginning of autumn to  the end of winter, and it’s usually rainy, and sometimes it’s heavy rain. In the dry season. As autumn while as, North Bay’s weather is not so hot and there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, the weather depends on the season. There are many entertainment places in my hometown so it is dynamic and crowded but not in North Bay. However, there are no traffic jams in North Bay. The main food of my hometown's citizens is rice just as everywhere in my country.  Meanwhile,  the main food of North Bay's citizens is bread which is made by wheat. Because of different continent,  the family cultures are also different, The teenage who is older than 18years old in North Bay wants to be independentfrom their parents, so they leave home as soon as they can to live under their  rules but not in my hometown. The teenagers of my hometown is usually live in their family home until they get married. Although the culture is different between two cities, there is one similar thing, the citizens of North Bay and my hometown are so  friendly. This is a special point between two different culture.

The Way to Study English Well

             Nowadays, English is the second most language spoken in the world. People speak English in many elements in our live, such as conversation, business, travel, working and so on. So, it’s important if you can speak English well. But how you can do that? In my opinion, to learn English well, you have to study four skills
            The first point is reading: To practice this skill, you have to get a good foundation of knowledge in vocabulary. You should try to learn at least ten words a day; this helps you to study easily. You can learn by writing new words on paper, on walls, or even your hands and anywhere you can see. On the other hand, you also make some notes with which to write new words and put in your bag or your wallet, so you can learn anytime and anywhere. Wherether you are outside or in the class, and you can remember clearly. In addition, you should read newspapers, novels, magazines and documents in English frequently. By this way, I believe that you will have a good reading skill.
            The second point is writing. To practice this skill, you should study grammar well. You shouldpractice to make thorough simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences, and then make short paragraphs, long paragraphs or even essays frequently. You can ask your teacher to check your errors, grammar and structure. When you can get 100% from your teacher, your writing skill is really good.
            The third point, you should practice listening to develop your skill well. When you can understand whatever others are saying, it’s easy for you to make conversation. So let’s try to practice your listening clearly. In my experience, you can practice this skill by watching movies, listening to English music, or watching news day after day or whenever you can. On the other hand, you can connect to BBC or VOV programs on the internet, there are a lot of program in English to practice listening. Surely, you will improve your listening.   
            And the last as well as, the most important point is speaking skill. Although you have good vocabulary, good reading and good listening if you can’t speak, it’s difficult for you to make conversations, negotiations in business or work. To practice this skill, you can enjoy in English class because teachers will show you the best way to pronounce. Otherwise, you can join in English clubs where you make conversations with many people in English. You also can speak English with your friends, your classmates frequently to speak fluently. If others can understand whatever you are saying, it means you speak well.
            In conclusion, English is really important for you to integrate into the international community. With English, you can be welcome easily in many countries that use English as the second language or foreign language. So let’s study hard these four skills as described above. Your English skill will be great in no time.
