Learning is what will follow us throughout life. We constantly learn to make

ourselves more perfect. Nowadays, cultural and economic exchanges between
countries are no longer unfamiliar. Therefore, English is an important language
that enables us to communicate in almost every country in the world. I have
developed a plan for myself to learn English to ensure I will get the best results in
the shortest amount of time. My goal is to get 7.0 IELTS by the end of the year.
After the last check. I realized that I still lacked in listening and speaking, so my
English study plan focused heavily on these two parts. Every day I spend at least 1
hours listening and 1 hours practicing speaking. I use the listening materials of the
English speaking center that I am attending. Also, I practice listening through
movies and music. To practice speaking, I use websites that allow chatting with
foreigners and people who have English speaking needs like me. I find this
learning quite effective. It helps me to respond faster. With my own discipline and
determination, I think I will execute the plan I set out and achieve my goals.

I would like to talk about Dalat Palace Heritage Hotel, an upscale hotel in Đà Lạt
city which I had the opportunity to visit a couple years ago. Being a big fan of
learning about history, I always knew that I had to visit this spectacular place.

As its name suggests, it was built over a hundred years ago in the heart of Đà Lạt
city in the Central Highland of Vietnam. The area surrounding the hotel is scenic
and culturally rich as there are the solemn Đà Lạt cathedral and
numerous petit cafes and bars. My first impression about this place was that
the building itself was grand and majestic. The interior of the hotel was decorated
elegantly and luxuriously with vintage furniture and old European paintings
throughout its halls and corridors. The room that I stayed in was
even furnished with a pair of Art decoarmchairs and a rotary phone on top of the
bedside table. From the window of my room, I could see the romantically tranquil
Xuân Hương lake.

Above all, what I enjoyed the most about this place was the clever design
that integrated the old and new ways of life. Besides the vintage features, other
modern amenities such as Wifi, a modern gym and even a karaoke room could also
be found here. When I was there I joined a group of people and we sang in the
Karaoke room until midnight. I think that this blend of past and present is what
makes Dalat Palace stand out.

quite excited. Somebody bought her litte brother with her and he was naughtiest
kid I knew. He yelled and talked the whole way there. The girl tried to make him
sit quietly but he never listened. When we arried, we got to take a cruise and see
the flickering water. Suddenly, I did not feel straight to the bathroom and throw up.
Luckily, no one made fun of me and we had some delicious seafood after that. I
hope my future trips will go more smoothly.

This retreat town offers a good change of atmosphere with a refreshingly cool
