Well, now, i’m going to talk about a special gift that i took a lot of time to find and choose That gift was for my Maths teacher at my secondary school, who i admired and considered

as my second mother My teacher was born in September, but i had to think of what the gift was from July Fortunately, it coincided with my summer holiday in Sapa I immediately went shopping to look for some special things when I reached there Unfortunately, there are a variety of products and I also do not know about my teacher’s hobby Therefore, finding a suitable job for her is extremely a challenge for me After 2 days with careful considerations, i decided to buy a scarf made from brocade fabric It was sophisticated and unique I crushed on that scarf at the first sight I was satisfied because at least, i had tried to find a meaningful gift for my beloved teacher And she seemed to love it a lot

If there is a chance to change something which makes our local area better, i think it’s the small library

The standard knowledge about social issues of local people is quite low I will give you a

prominent instance about my cousin She was the same age as me and she just married last

week ‘cause she had 5 month pregnancy But the thing was she didn’t know she was

pregnant until 2 weeks ago

Apparently, she was lack of sexual knowledge and I think that if only my hometown had a

library in which there was a wide range of books , she wouldn’t have come into troubles

Also with a small library, people at all ages can equip themselves with a reservoir of

knowledge about all aspects of life I’m sure that this change is a significant turing-point

in the education of my local area For example, the literacy rate can be higher, so my province can provide a better well-educated workforce for economy, and uemployment level or other social evils can be mitigated All in all, the appearance of a library is the key

to open a new door for my province
