Migration / Immigration Assessment

I have a brother whose name is Jimmy. Now he is in grade eleventh. He studied in American International School. Now he migrates to America to study abroad. He moves to Boston. He moves for some push factors. First, he cannot attend a Vietnamese University in Vietnam after graduating from American International School. Secondly, condition of studying in Vietnam is not as good as that in the United States. Jimmy also moves to Boston for pull factors. First, education in the United States is better than that in Vietnam. Second, English-speaking environment is more comfortable for improving English skills. Thirdly, transportation is more convenient for him to travel from school to home.

Living in the United States has some positive and negative effects. He gains many benefits from studying abroad. He can learn to live independently. Besides, he can practice English more frequently. He can earn more money in the future because he knows more about America and speaks English more fluently. He also has some difficulties when living in the United States. For example, when he lives far away from his home, he misses his family and he feels homesick. In addition, he has to face cultural differences. He is not familiar with the United State’s lifestyle. Therefore, sometimes he feels discriminated. On the first days at the United States, at times, he could not understand what Americans say. Oppositely, they do not understand what he says. Besides, he does not have enough money all the time because the school fee in the Unite States is much more expensive then in Vietnam.

Perfume Land :X:X:X

Perfume land spreads from 28°N to 155°N and from 15°E to 125°E.It is to the South of Channel Ocean and the North of Guess Ocean. In its south-east is Ed-Hardy Island and Milano Island is right above this land.

As the most perfume-producing land, Perfume land has exported tons of perfume annually to the world. In 1909, after landing in the west of Perfume land, some of the first Sarrynians, who were named after discoverer Sarryna, moved to the east. At the time, there were about 500,000 of them. They left to find more lands to grow flowers. There were another migration ín979 when the war broke out between Gucci & Tommy. People in Gucci gleed to Dior to find safely .Most of Sarrynians followed Hinduism except Tommy .However, in 1970; Hinduism started to spread to Tommy and has had a big imp act on this country until now.

Because Perfume Land has temperate climate, people here can only grow some flowers like tulips, roses, lily, some fruits like strawberries, apples… and some plant. People often traveled by boat along the river. Few years later, Sarrynians built bridges across rivers and tunnels across mountains so that people could travel more easily and more economically. As a land surrounded by sea, Perfume land has long seashore, so fishing in the land has developed a lot. Because the land has a big river running across, flooding is unavoidable. Therefore, many dislikes are built to stop the flood destroying the land.

When the production of perfume increases all over the land, almost all countries have their own factories which have produced tons of perfume products to the world. Among them, the largest one is located in CK. Beside, in order to ensure good health for Sarrynians here, they have many hospitals. Along with travelling by sea, people here can travel by air with many airports. The perfume land is well known for its beautiful nature. One of them is perfume waterfall in Ck whose water is used for making perfume because of its fragrance .The most famous site to visit is Flower Cliff in Gucci which is not affected by humans. That it has was a shape of tulip flower is explained that Perfume land is destined by God to be the land to have the most flowers in the world.

The Perfume land is divided into two main regions according to physical characteristics which are the North and the South. The North consists of Gucci, DKNY and Tommy whiles the south Lancôme and Dior. The North is more mountains than the South. Therefore, it is quite hard for the Northern people to grow flowers. Instead, they dig for gold and diamond. Even so, in the North, some big trees are chopped down and used for extracting oils for producing perfume. The South has more favorable condition for growing flowers than the North. And more factories are built in South because the South has a flatter topography than the North.

Family Project Reflection

This project has really given me chances to discover my family's history. As you know, my grandfather was a Vietnamese soldier who fought for our country's peace. Through that, I know the war past of my country. I also know how my country got over such hard times. I realize Vietnamese people are so brave and determined. And I learn that my mother's difficult childhood has encouraged my mother to work hard until now when our life is better. Vietnamese people are always like that. They are brave in war and hard-working at work. I'm proud of being Vietnamese. 

Thanks to presentations from my friends, I know more about different cultures. Besides, this is the best chance for me to learn more about my friends and to strengthen our friendship. I really want to experience the coldness of winter and the fierce hotness of summer in Japan and Russia. if only I could play skateboard and skiing in winter. My friend's presentations have given me the idea of cultural differences. Some of my friends are really not familiar with Vietnamese food and the others find hard at first when living in Vietnam. However, I hope we, from different cultures, can work be friendly like this to build a better world.

Paradise of paradises ♥

I have traveled to Hong Kong this Tet holiday.  Located in eastern Asia, it has a long coastline with some large islands and many other small islands. It has a quite cold climate with the temperature from 17°C to 29°C. Hong Kong's terrain is hilly with steepy slopes. The life in Hong Kong is not as slow as Vietnam but so fast. Hong Kong citizens are always found rushing to work on the street. There, fast-food restaurants are always crowded with people. In Hong Kong, it seems that people here never ever sleep because lights are on for the whole 24 hours. In rush house, it is not hard to see Hong Kong people packed in trains and buses. 95% of Honkongers are Chinese As one of the Asia’s Tigers, Hong Kong attracts many immigrants and that's why there is a diversity of races living in Hong Kong now. Being a one-time Britain's colony, Hong Kong's culture is the mix of Western and Eastern cultures. Therefore, we can see many western buildings in Hong Kong. Also, Hong Kong is a shopping paradise with many splendid shopping malls where we can go shopping the whole day but there are still many things left for us. Hong Kong is also infamous for its entertainment industry with Disneyland and movie industry with many movie stars who are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, ect.

Myself :X

My name is Hoang Bao Nhi with nickname as Sarryna. I am 13 years old.  I have a lovely  family with grandmother, father, mother, and my little sister who is also studying in AIS- grade 3.

My hobbies are playing badminton and hanging out with friends. Badminton helps me keep a good health, so I often play badminton with my father. Besides, in free time, I sometimes go out with my friends.

I love geography and culture because I can know a lot  different cultures. Even so, sometimes they give me headache for I have to study so much. I love Math .Although, I'm not good at Social Studies, i quite like it . I always have trouble in remembering vocabularies so reading is my weakness . I myself think I am very friendly, kind so many friends in class like me :). Among all colors, i prefer black, white and blue. I like simple and convenient things then I go for simple outfits such as T- shirt and short.

Finally, my objective for life is that I always try all my best on what I'm doing. :-)
