TOPIC: IF YOU HAD MAGIC CARPET AS THE ONE OF ALADDIN, WHAT CITY IN THE WORLD WOULD BE YOUR DESTINATION? EXPLAIN WHY? Number 21 People say that I am such a dream girl to keen on traveling That is right, because I suffer from an incurable skin condition How does a little girl can go around the world with bandages and wheelchair, when every second of the day she endures an unimaginable pain? Stuck in my tiny room, I still dream of being able to see the world, to one day be free If only I had a wish, I would no doubt visit Paris- the city of light My disfigured feet leave me immobile and unable to stand or walk 18 years I cannot stand on my own feet but I can stand on believing in Goodness, in Magic that helps me go through Surfing Internet is the best way to solace my longing My computer has full of information about Paris, as if I ready to go for very long Remember vividly the day I saw a beautiful picture of Paris by night, I couldnot force myself stop being directed toward That moment I desired to be someone else escapes from reality- to be there I had never thought such a luxurious city covered by colorful lights and admiring building projects existed Right away, I searched out “Paris” on the internet and all the results made me keep focusing on the screen Till now, I still remain the attraction as the first time when thinking about Paris Since France is considered as the origin of great Europe civilization, its magnanimous history was prettified to the antique features and diversity culture Paris which is the capital of France has the strange fascination with the sparkling and dreamlike beauty It is the place where fashion, culture and music are fabricated together Eiffel Tower, Le Sacré Coeur, Arc de Triomphe, Notre- Dame, etc give an impression of strength and beauty which have lasted up to our days The more I think of Paris, the more I thirst for my wish comes true One day, as normal, I surf the internet: Buzz! Aladdin: Happy birthday, Trang Vu! Trang Vu: Thank you so much! Aladdin: Well Do you believe in Magic? Trang Vu: Of course, Ala But don’t tell me that you have witchcraft Aladdin: Yes, I have Today, you are the special one chosen by me Please tell me your wish Trang Vu: I am? You’re… (I have a little shock) Aladdin: Yeah me Trang Vu: Unbelievable! Oh my Goodness! I always dream of going to Paris Will it be true? Everything changes even though I haven’t typed yet I soon realize my beloved place is right beneath me and I’m on a magic carpet At the moment, I can’t force myself stop bursting into tears I’m so happy to see Paris- the place where my heart belongs Without wheelchair and disease, I’m totally free, free at last to see the world and to live my dream I’ll hold on this feeling forever Being there is the most perfect memory for me to cherish the rest of my life Paris by night… Number 22 Have you ever wished to be a superman or superwoman? Or lived in the wonder land full of marvelous things? You wish to own the flying carpet? And if this dream came true, where would you go? Prosperous Europe or peaceful Asia? If i did, i would come a place, neither beautiful nor wealthy, but a very poor one, where i can give some help for those who are in need Africa is the poorest, with a harsh climate People here, especially children are suffering from many difficulties such as malnutrition, illiteracy, poor health care system, and so on The life of young ones in this continent is worse and worse day by day The images of almost dead children caused by starvation, or a mother with her child on her back walked thousand-mile desert route to get a saving life bowl of porridge made me breathless and heartbreaking Not only lacking food, water is one of the most serious problems here Fresh water is out of most African’s dictionary Lasting 12 month droughts made the peak in the cereal price, threatening the lives of million people When reaching the refugee camp, many parents were nearly exhausted due to experiencing many days without eating There almost dead children on their hands Parents could not anything but watching helplessly their dear daughters, sons gradually die As any other continent’s children, African children are innocent, they have the right to live, to be happy Suffering a lot of pain and hardship, African, children in African need help We, as ones have a happier lives, let something to help children Number 23 If I had a magic carpet like Aladin, which city would I go? This question is not easy to answer at all There are too many interesting places in this world to choose: London, New York, Sydney, even Hanoi too Perhaps if I really had to choose, I would choose Paris Alright, how could Paris be placed over any interesting city above? The first reason can be stated in just one short word: food Paris has the one of the finest cuisines in the world If I were in a restaurant there, I would try every dish I could, from dishes that I have only seen on TV so far - like the Macaron or crepe - to the dishes I have already known - like cheese or the French bread, to see how the same food can taste differently in different places I would even taste some really peculiar dishes like the goose's liver Moreover, I would try to enjoy the food in a Parisian way: sitting on the table as politely as I could; using the spoons, forks and knives on the table properly And of course, I could not eat my meal without any wine at all The second reason why I choose Paris can also be expressed in an even shorter word: art Or a slightly longer word: The Louvre Where else could I see the famous everlasting smile of Mona Lisa? Or the Venus of Milo, in which a woman's physical beauty reaches almost perfection? But while these two works of art would be my main focus, I would take my eyes on as many other paintings and sculptures as I could In fact, since the Museum contains so many things to see, my trip would likely extend to two or more days And of course, every time I went to the Louvre, I would not miss going through the Louvre Pyramid and see everything through the glass Here comes the last reason: just Paris If my trip to Paris were done by a magic carpet, I would see the Eiffel Tower before anything else in the city The Tower would also be my first place to land the carpet, where I would have the whole view of Paris for the first time After that, I would take a slow ride around Paris and stop at any landmark along the way, like the Cathedral of Notre Dame or the Panthéon, where I could pay some respect to France's most famed men and women like Voltaire or Pierre & Marie Curie I would fly to the top of the Eiffel Tower once more at dusk, to see the sunset and the lights turn on in the whole city When the sky was fully dark, I would take a nearly identical ride to the one I had done in the sunlight, but in this time, I would not go inside the previously seen places, instead to look at them on the outside and see their breathtaking lighted-up beauty Now is the time I have to get off of the magic carpet and go back to real life I hope you all enjoy the ride Thanks for your attention! Number 24 Journey to the Big Apple… This is where the dream starts… If I were to acquire Aladdin’s flying carpet, the first thing I would most probably would be crushing into a nearby tree That of course, was just a joke Well, there are plenty of places around the world I would really like to pass by but there is that one special city in particular which I have always dreamed about visiting That city is the New York City… New York City – the Big Apple is one of the largest and busiest cities in the world It is the dream destination for me and millions of people around the world People always dream about starting becoming rich with so called “American Dream” and New York City is the place full of opportunities to begin with Now that I have the carpet, the dream might come true I would be so excited to be able to instantly fly to that fabulous city I would fly over the city first to enjoy its beauty, especially at night: All the glamour, all the lights and beauty of the city – viewable from my ultra speed magical carpet I can only imagine the tall skyscrapers with thousands of bright windows erecting into the sky and beneath them city streets with constantly moving light dots All of which creates a magnificent night view with that dreamy look which can seduce almost every soul The city is also very beautiful in daylight, especially at dawn The sun rising in the horizon slowly lights the city and with it most recognizable landmark - The Statue of Liberty in the distance That is truly a marvelous view, representing what traditional values United States of America stands for: Freedom and Liberty There are of course other landmarks around the city that I could finally visit Among them would be the tall classic Empire State Building, the Epic Times Square, the Yankee Stadium, the Brooklyn Bridge with its large suspension cables, the Central Park with its beautiful natural landscape, the musical Broadway….and lots and lots of them The whole mixture of these special locations just adds to the beauty of the city However, the beauty of New York lies not only with its landmarks, financial districts, huge streets… it is also exhibited by the beauty of its people - the New Yorkers along with many people from different places If you walk around the city, you can see a lot of people ranging from rich businessmen in the lower Manhattan area to the normal working people in all professions in shops, streets, service centers There are a lot of servicemen dedicated to their work such as policemen and firefighters who on that disastrous day September 11th , displayed great courage and sacrifice rescuing thousands of people trapped in WTC In overall, the people of New York are pretty friendly and helpful but unfortunately not all of them The city itself suffers from poor conditions and economy also Some streets are filled with homeless people and they are very dangerous at night as the robberies and homicides are on the daily basis But those are only some minor dark sides and shall not undermine this great city I would like to tell more but I guess there is actually more for me to explore with that flying carpet Also, according to my knowledge, the Aladdin’s flying carpet may accommodate more than one person Therefore you are always welcome to join me in this great journey to the great City as it is waiting for us with all its glamour and music Number 25 If I had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, I would go to Venice It is the city in northeastern Italy, made up of over one hundred small islands linked by bridges and separated by numerous canals I chose this city as my dreamy destination for several reasons First of all, Venice is famous for a variety of architectural styles, especially Gothic style There are many historical buildings and a lot of colorful houses with unique design around the city The interior design in most buildings, moreover, is sophisticated Besides, the city has several fabulous architectural masterpieces designed by some of the most renowned architects in the world Furthermore Venice by night looks very glistening and even mysterious like a labyrinth with hundreds of lamplights Secondly, the whole city was built on the top of a lagoon and the main ways to move from one to other places are canals, on which boats are the favorite means of transport for both the locals and tourists In addition, there are no cars and trains The air is, therefore, so clean This is why many other places in the world wish to be compared with Venice Besides, tourists can walk down the small streets to take photos and see beautiful houses here It is so interesting Another reason I wish to fly to Venice is that I like birds, that I could be friendly with thousands of wild pigeons who are abundantly available everywhere in the city The pigeons in this city are adorned with vibrant colors, for example, red, yellow and green ones There are also pigeons in bright purple Venice is indeed one of the most beautiful cities around the world, which makes it an attractive destination to most of the tourists It is hard for me to afford a long and very expensive journey to that such a remote city Now thanks to a magic carpet I can accomplish my dream Number 26 Imagining I am travelling in the sky, I can touch the clouds, say “Hello!” to the pigeons hovering And below me, a river is gently flowing, a variety of architectural style of buildings dimly loom in the thin fog, adjacent to many parks and garden I am not neither in a plane nor on a crowded street, but sitting on a magic carpet, enjoy the beautiful scenery That would be definitely a strange but tremendous and wonderful experience if I had that chance to come and visit the capital of England and the United Kingdom – London London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence However, the things I like best of London is the beauty of its structures, with reputation of architecture as well as their history One of the ten most-visited attractions is the Tower of London, that is the first place I want to visit Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England, United Kingdom It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history The primary function of the Tower is to be a fortress, a royal palace and a prison for royal internees who have high positions Also, the Tower attracts me because of being one of the most frightfully haunted houses in England There are many stories about the wraith of Queen Anne Boleyn, going around the tower, headless and white-dressed, or King Henry VI, Laday Jane Grey and some other princes Next, I want to “fly” to the center of the city and visit another tourist destination, which is one of the most famous square in the United Kingdom as well as the world – Trafalgar Square The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars over France There is a statue of Duke Nelson to honor him with the victory That is also the most prominent of the square because the statue is 5.5 metres high, and is placed on a 52 metres pillar But in my opinion, the most interesting thing of the square is the feral pigeons, and feeding them was a popular activity Nowadays, the feeding of birds on the square's pedestrianised North Terrace and other pavements in the area are banned But there are still many pigeons there, which bring a natural look for the city There are many other famous and beautiful places in London I want to visit them all The Tower Brigde, which is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, over the River Thames, has become an iconic symbol of London It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name The Baker street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster in London, is most famous for its connection to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who lives at a fictional 221B Baker Street address There are many tennis courts, with the traditional “lawn tennis” different to almost other courts in the world, and the most famous is the center court, the only place to hold the final of the Championships Wimbledon Also, I want to see the famous Buckingham Palace, the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster which is one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England And many other historical, scientific, and monumental places such as the Queen Victoria Memorial, Buckingham Palace: Cung điện Buckingham, Horse Guards, Piccadilly Circus, The Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, Centre of Maritime Greenwich, Royal Obeservatory Altogether, they would be the best memory of my life – the unique chance to visit my favourite city Number 27 Topic: If you had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, what city in the world would be your destination?Explain why? Few years ago, my family moved to Hanoi and I really love this city However, this is not the place I love most If I had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, I would choose to fly to Nha Trang city where I used to live for 16 years Nha Trang city is in the South East of Vietnam with the long beautiful beach and amazing islands Nha Trang bay has been recognized as one of the nicest bay all over the world It contains nineteen islands covering the surface of 507 kilometer square This bay is the most interesting destination for domestic and foreigner tourists because they have chances to go around and discover the perfectly natural combination of sea, sky and islands Besides, tourists are also put in the favorable condition to try different kinds of seafood like crabs, shrimps, fish and so on In the morning, it is really exciting for people to go jogging on the beach for a while and have a seat on the sand to watch the wonderful sunrise before having some fun with the sea water, which gives people the fresh feelings to start a new day When I was there, I felt like every single day was the special day for me to start something new, to try my best to reach my goal and to live with people I love Furthermore, people in Nha Trang are very friendly, hospitable and “laidback” and they enjoy their life without worrying about the global economic crisis, the rise of unemployment and etc Sixteen years in this city is enough for me to understand the lifestyle and the tradition of this area I have a lot of friends there, some was in the primary school and some in the secondary one, but there is a girl that I will remember forever She was my close friend since I took a first step to the kindergarten She has played with me, had lunch with me, taken my hand on the way back home…and she has been always right beside me to not only make me laugh but also share my sorrows since we were kids Sometimes, I accidentally ignore what she has done for me, which makes her cry a lot, but after all, we are still close friends At the moment, I am living in Hanoi while she is a singer in Ho Chi Minh City – the big city in the south of the country We haven’t been together since I left Nha Trang six years ago and I really miss her Thus, if I have a chance to go anywhere, I will definitely go back there, give my close friend a big hug and have a chat for all night long Nha Trang city is not only the place I was born but also the second homeland of mine because it is how I feel my life, what I want to keep in my mind, where I wish to live for all my life and who I love till I die Number 28 In my childhood, I really like to read fairies “ Aladin and shange lamp ” is the most fairies fairy I really want to have magic carpet If I had a magic carpet as the as of Aladin, I would travel the world became I like to see places Having the magic carpet means I don’t have to pay for the ticket and I don’t have to wait for a particular day, I can just sit on the carpet and off I go But the most place is American US is a big country in the world It’s dynamic and exciting and this is the mordern country I want to fly around the liberty englighteaing the world Then I fly on Golden Gate Bridge and view San Francisco bay In the time I feel very free and interesting and feel I’m a bird Number 29 If you had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, what city in the world would be your destination? Explain why? Suddenly, a shining halo appear in dark night, and a carpet is soft curved I blink to see clearly if the carpet is true I gently step on the velvet carpet, it shakes The first place that comes to my mind is the city of New York Few seconds after, I sit on the carpet and fly through the dark sky across cities that shine so bright like magic I don't believe that I'm in the sky of New York, U.S Flying around, suddenly, I spot the face of the statue of Liberty Enlightening the World The Statue of liberty is symbol of independence of US and people in the world, that is dream, aspirations for the world is peace I look at the exquisite face of the goddess Statue of liberty which is a symbol of US, the statue is situated at Ellis island On the right hand of the goddess, holds a torch, left hand holds Symbol on the independence of the U.S The carpet is magical, i am so high up in the sky, I look down and i see Obama through a large TV screen on the road giving a speech Obama is the first black president of the U.S, he represents the elimination of racism Immediately, i move closer to the crowd to have a better view I shouted with all the people: "Obama" I have a dream I like America because they have a long history The first few citizens of New York are not Americans They come from other countries, diversity for the New York as well as other states within US I fly around a modern city, the carpet change location to map of US showing New York as a focus point I smile to myself, finally my dream has come true I open my eyes, it's a nice dream Carpet is so magical, Life also have miracles and if I try my best i can achieve my goals and my dream will come through The dreams never fade away, as long as you believe it will surely come to past Number 30 The place I live now is nearly a disaster I mean no offense to this city but in my opinion, I am not supposed to live here This city makes me sick of its activeness Every day I drive through the cramped quarters, sink in the terrible noise from thousands of motorcycle and million of people talking, yelling, and coursing all day Ha Noi, the city I live since I was born and never been left for more than a fortnight now becomes a stinky nest that I am crazy for running away I have been thinking about this several times, but there is an ugly truth is that I can not afford to pay for transporting, flight ticket is too much for a poor Vietnamese student, I need a free (or cheep) and fast mean of transport; a magic carpet would be perfect, if it is possibly real If I had a magic carpet, I would fly immediately away to find a peaceful, clean and natural place In fact, I would not have to find that, I have already had one in my mind (thanks to the internet), Tasmania island This island is famous for its endemic species, Tasmanian tiger, even though this animal has been extinct long time ago However, the feature, which impressed me about, is the marvelous natural beauties this island has In this place, there are several ecosystem, from marine to terrestrial where consist of unique fauna and flora I can imagine about the scenario if I was there I would climb mountain, walk in the forest blink in the fog or searching for many special species I could not see nowhere in the world, such as the great fern and Tasmanian devil, the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world alive, the journey would be a perfect lesson for a biological student like me In the afternoon, I could wander along the sandy crystal coastal, watching sunset and collecting oyster shells while the penguins go searching for nests More over, in this beautiful place, I could enjoin the peaceful atmosphere, stay away from crowded cities Besides, I also have some small reasons that motivated me to choose this beloved island In spite of being natural, this island is not primitive; it has a quite modern city called Hobart This city is where I could update news from the world outside and buy some necessary equipment or live a modern life for few days if I want with low living price The last but not least reason, Native speaker here using English, the language that feel comfortable in normal conversations and those Australian are believed to be friendly I always dream of that life In conclusion, I have to admit that a dream is just a dream but I am a realistic person The magic carpet is definitely a dream, it is not real, and so is the living in Tasmania at this time However, if I can have a dream, I can make it comes true, it is just the matter of time and money [...]... carpet If I had a magic carpet as the as of Aladin, I would travel the world became I like to see places Having the magic carpet means I don’t have to pay for the ticket and I don’t have to wait for a particular day, I can just sit on the carpet and off I go But the most place is American US is a big country in the world It’s dynamic and exciting and this is the mordern country I want to fly around... is so magical, Life also have miracles and if I try my best i can achieve my goals and my dream will come through The dreams never fade away, as long as you believe it will surely come to past Number 30 The place I live now is nearly a disaster I mean no offense to this city but in my opinion, I am not supposed to live here This city makes me sick of its activeness Every day I drive through the cramped
