I would like express my sincere thanks and deep gratitude to my instructor, Mr Le Minh Hieu who have provided assistance and guidance throughout the process of writing this internship report; Mr Phan Thanh Truc and everyone at Viet Hoa Transportation and Trading Joint Stock Company for hosting and providing me a wonderful experience during

my internship and provided me with necessary information, knowledge, motivation to complete this internship report
