I first heard about Ngo Bao Chau on the news 6 years ago when he received the
Fields Medal, which is often described as the mathematician’s Nobel Prize.

However, earlier in 2005, he was granted the title of professor in Vietnam,

becoming the country’s youngest professor ever.

Professor Ngo Bao Chau has been awarded the highest academic honor due to
his great mathematical research.

He is best known for proving the Fundamental Lemma. His work has achieved
such a distinction that it has been listed as one of the top ten scientific
discoveries of 2009 by Time magazine. The story of Ngo Bao Chau has inspired
me considerably. I remember in an interview after receiving the Medal, Ngo
Bao Chau said that he had been studying math due to his passion but not due to
a desire to achieve. This statement impressed me a lot. Besides, another
characteristic I like regarding this professor is his persistence. During the time
studying the Fundamental Lemma, I became stuck and almost failed to solve
this complex problem. Despite the difficulties, he did not choose to give up so
finally he got through them.

Describe a time

Myself:
Well, actually, I always deem myself as a creative person and I constantly find
one way or another to create things. Because it helps me to cultivate my sense
of interests and I can also create many fascinating products for myself. And
there was a time that I had to use and optimize my imagination and now I will
share with you about my personal experience.

Describe: what time - what - why - how

Well, if my memory recalls correctly, when I was just knee high to a
grasshopper. I had to enroll in a drawing class and in that course, my teacher
required all students to draw a picture of a house in the countryside. Honestly, I
hadn’t had any chance to travel to the rural areas due to my parents’ hectic
schedule.

I was tremendously nervous initially but gradually. I tried to calm myself down,
and with all the knowledge and pictures that I accumulated through videos and
documentaries on the internet.

And I started to draw a picture of the house made of wood with two windows
showing the view of the stunning natural environment around. I drew some
chickens raised in the garden and some palm trees. There was a river in front of
the house creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere of the countryside.

Eventually, my teacher gave me an outstanding mark which was beyond my

expectation and I felt immensely proud of my efforts and imagination. ( pass
with flying colors)

lesson:
After that course, I realized that imagination plays a fundamental role in our
development because it helps us to visualize what will happen in the future and
therefore we can create and generate various fascinating products to meet the
demand of modern citizens and upgrade our living standard.
future:
Down the road, I will make an attempt to read different types of books as well
as play intellectual games to stimulate my brain to have a fertile imagination
and it helps me to be more mentally active, creative and imaginative.

In your opinion, were the standards for judging who is famous before better
than they are now?

As I mentioned, celebrities in the past gained their reputation by their own

talents and abilities. However, in the modern world if a person want to become
famous they ===> with assistance of social media ===> facebook, tiktok,... =>
just only impressive appearance => boost them become famous

=> as a result, past => better

rate = judge
