 In the past, I had a wonderful trip to Dalat, everything in there
made me feel very comfortable. My first impression when I came
to Da Lat was the weather, it is quite cold. I rented a 3 star hotel,
however, when I entered the room, I did not see the air
conditioner anywhere. Was the air cold, so they didn’t have an air
conditioner? I stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights, the food in Da
Lat was quite good, the scenery was also very nice. Especially,
the people were very friendly. Maybe I will return to Da Lat
someday

 Harry Potter is one of my favourite movies. I have loved it since
it was held in the theatre years ago. Based on the best seller
fiction written by JK.Rowling, the movie makes it real. This
movie was about Harry Potter, he is a wizard born in the dark
days of the wizardry world. His parents died in the hand of
Voldemort, the dark lord. During his journey, he experienced a
lot: happiness, sadness, live and death moments, etc. At last, he
finally beat Voldermort and became a great auror like his parents.
This movie taught me many things. The most important thing for
me is that love and friendship will always be there for those who
deserve it and fight for it. I’d recommend this movie for everyone
 It's been a long time, about 1 year ago. I like watching movies in
theaters. Watching movies in the theater is very interesting and

more than Pho with beef . Chicken Pho is made using the same
spices as beef, but the broth is made using only chicken bones
and meat, I always enjoy a bowl of hot and spicy Pho for
breakfast. Mornings are a special time for pho in Vietnam. I love
Pho and I can eat it every morning without boring.

favorite restaurant is B, reasonable price but delicious food
