You not only impart knowledge in the easiest way to understand but also guide us on studying at home We hate going to school in the evening, doing homework, and being in detention But all of these are worthy as we love being taught by the teachers Love, sympathy, and encouragement, and sharing are the most valuable treasure we gain from you – our teachers We are proud of ourselves as we are members of the family DC19V1Q2 From the persons who are busy with work and family, from beginners who were afraid of studying at night after a long tiring day, and from those who were lazy in the early days and often late to school, we have changed for the better We love, help, and encourage each other to strive and improve themselves day by day We have created a united, vibrant, and joyful DC19V1Q2 Before closing this task, we would like to quote Mr Huu’s speech from the field trip: “The end of our class is not the end It will be a new beginning for all of us in the future” We love to send all

three-day and two-night trip with about 400-kilometer distance in total The field trip was not too short or too long, but we feel so happy as we had a chance to go there together It was an unforgettable trip from our point of view The trip had the following itinerary On the first day, we started going from Can Tho university at 4h30 to the stopover in Chau Thanh District of An Giang Province at 6h30, and we have breakfast there, with various delicious meals Most of us enjoyed Hu Tieu Soup that is a popular breakfast in the Mekong Delta At 7h30, we continued the trip, and this time Group one begins to manage the class from Chau Thanh District to Ba Chua Xu Temple in Chau Doc city of An Giang Province Ba Chua Xu Temple is a prosperity goddess worshiped in the Mekong Delta region as part of Vietnamese folk religions She is a tutelary of business, health and a protector of the Vietnamese border She is considered prestigious and is worshipped in her temple in Vinh Te village at the foot of Sam Mountain, An Giang Province A three-day festival is held in the town at the beginning of the rainy season, beginning on the twenty-third day of the fourth lunar month, in her honor Ba Chua Xu reached her peak of popularity in the 1990s and still entertains pilgrims every year with her responsiveness to loyal followers Group photo at Ba Chua Xu Temple Around 8h40, we went to visit the grave of Thoai Ngoc Hau Stories state that the Lady of the Realm protected Thoai Ngoc Hau (1761–1829), a mandarin representing the Vietnamese court during the early days of the south of Vietnam occupation, and was instrumental in creating and defending the border between Vietnam and Cambodia The legend states that his wife, Chau Thi Te, went to Ba Chua Xu's shrine on Sam Mountain to pray for her husband to defeat the enemy and bring peace to the land Thoai Ngoc Hau was able to fend off the Khmer troops, and Chau Thi Te showed her gratitude to the goddess by rebuilding the shrine that held her When the temple was complete, Chau Thi Te had a festival that lasted three days Those days became the annual date for the celebration for Ba Chua Xu Group photo at Thoai Ngoc Hau Tomb Then, we moved to Tra Su Melaleuca Forest from 10h40 to 11h30, and we had lunch at 11h50 there If you are curious about what the Mekong Delta's wetlands look like, come to Tra Su Cajuput Forest – an ecotourism site turning green by the water ferns during the rainy season every year Tra Su is just about 30 kilometers southwest of Chau Doc, covering a vast area of 850 hectares Tra Su is an ecosystem of cajuput trees and a flooded mangrove forest, which are the home of many flora and fauna species The larger part of the forest is flooded with green water in the wet season, making an incredible sight, especially when the sunlight reaches down the water surface The forest is also the habitat for many colonies of water birds, bats, and even rare and endangered animals and reptile species There are 140 types of flora, 70 species of birds, 11 species of animals, 25 species of reptiles, and 23 kinds of fish To explore the forest and watch the birds, travelers will take a boat tour offered by forest's administration, paddled and guided by the local ladies When you are on a boat, you will have the luxury feeling of navigating through the carpet of green ferns so dense you cannot even see the water surface The rower will help you understand more about the forest, and here and there, she will tell the point where the birds are So get your camera ready for this particular photoshoot The boat will stop to take you to the cajuput forest with tall, green cajuput trees standing in line on the dirty sidewalk Entrance ticket costs 150,000VND per person, including a boat fee for a round trip You can also explore the area by motorbike, but it is harder to see the birds and the plants by motorbike The best time to visit is the rainy season from September to November, which
