 SCRIPT
Hello everyone, My name is Toan and I am currently a student of the
University of foreign languages. I will be the one of our representative to
introduce you guys a few things about our country.

First and foremost, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you who
are embarking on this exciting adventure to study in our university for the
upcoming semester. This experience will be trans-formative, and I'm honored
to be here today to share some insights that I believe will enhance your time in
Vietnam.

Let's start with a topic close to everyone's heart – food. Our local cuisine is a
delightful change of flavors that will undoubtedly Fantasize your taste buds.
From savory street food to delicate traditional dishes, don't hesitate to explore
and savor the diverse culinary experiences our city has to offer. And if you're
feeling a bit homesick, fear not; we have a variety of international restaurants
that cater to different tastes.

Another thing you need to keep in mind is the weather and clothing. In
Vietnam, October usually marks the beginning of cold climate, and
temperatures can drop significantly. So, pack accordingly with warm layers, a
good coat, and don't forget a sturdy umbrella because the rains will occur quite
persistent. Most importantly, watch out for heavy rain because in this season
the flood can rise extremely quickly. But fear not, the cold climate has its
charm, and after the flood, you'll find the city beautifully adorned with seasonal
decorations.

Accommodation is another important aspect of your stay. Many of you will be

living in student residences, fostering a sense of community and making it
easier to forge friendships. Take advantage of the communal spaces and get to
know your neighbors – you never know the friendships you might form during
your stay.

Moving on to academics, our university prides itself on a diverse and inclusive

learning environment. You'll encounter a variety of teaching styles, including
lectures, seminars, and practical sessions. Don't hesitate to engage with your
professors and fellow students; our academic community values collaboration
and intellectual curiosity.

Beyond the classroom, there are numerous activities to participate in. Whether
it's joining a club, attending cultural events, or exploring recreational sports,
these activities provide opportunities to make friends and immerse yourself in
the local culture. Speaking of culture, our city boasts a rich history with many
historical sites to explore. Take some time to visit local landmarks and
museums, as they offer a glimpse into the fascinating stories that have shaped
our community.
Now, let's talk about the heart of any community – its people. The locals
Vietnamese are known for their hospitality and friendliness. Don't be shy to
strike up conversations and embrace the opportunity to learn from one another.
Engaging with the local community will enrich your experience and broaden
your perspectives.

Lastly, I want to encourage you to consider participate in charitable activities

during your stay. Volunteering is a meaningful way to give back to the
community that has welcomed you, and it provides a unique opportunity to
make a positive impact. If you are interested, some of the non-profit
organization I would recommend are : Vietnam Red-cross society, operation
smile, Saigon Children’s Charity.

Before ending my speech, I just want to say : In the coming months, you're not
just studying in a new place; you're embracing a trans-formative adventure. See
each challenge as a chance to grow, every unfamiliar face as a potential friend,
and every lesson, inside and outside the classroom, as a stepping stone to a
more profound understanding of the world and yourself. This journey is more
than a semester; it's an opportunity for extraordinary personal and academic
growth. So, dive in, make the most of every moment, and let this experience
shape you in ways you never imagined. Safe travels and welcome to the
journey of a lifetime!
