1. What kind of school did you go as a child?
As a kid, I attended a public primary school, which is quite big school and it is equipped with a lot of modern facilities to cater for students’ learning. At that time, I also studied with a lot of studious and disciplined friends who helped me a lot in studying.
2. What is your area of specialization?
Well, I majored in English Teaching Education Faculty at the University of Languages and International Studies. As I dreamed of becoming an English lecturer in the future who assimilates knowledge to students, I think this major is really right up my alley.
3. Why did you choose that major?
As I previously said, I chose this major mainly because I really want to become an English teacher. I think the huge benefits of being a teacher is a sense of pleasure you achieve when you see your students make progress. Besides, I have been an English enthusiast since I was a child and I want to teach and inspire my students to have interests in this language.
4. Do you like your major?
Well, I have to say that I have never regretted opting for English Teaching Education major since this allows me to have a great command of English. You know, during my student’s years, I had countless chances to practice listening, speaking, reading and writing and to master this language. Additionally, when my students make progress in learning English, I get a sense of job satisfaction and self-worth.
5. Do you think that your country has an effective education system?
To be honest, I don’t think so. The reason is that our country still exits exam-driven education system, which only provides students with theoretical knowledge than practical one. Therefore, a lot of students forget immediately about what they have learned and do not know to apply it into the real situations.
6. What do you do?
I currently work as a teacher at a private centre in Hanoi. I am mainly responsible for teaching IELTS for students who want to pass the IELTS exam with flying colors. To me, it is not a job which helps me earn a great deal but gives me an immense amount of job satisfaction.
7. Why did you choose to do that type of work (or, that job)?
I guess it’s because of my passion which runs in my family. The process of teaching and designing the lessons improves my creativity and ability fighting against stress.
8. Is there some other kind of work you would rather do?
Well, if possible, I’d like to be a writer. Actually I’m a big fan of action movies, so I’d love to write about this topic and share my stories with people of the same taste.
9. What do you like about your job?
It’s a rewarding job which helps me support myself and my family. Moreover, the workplace is also amazing and I can learn a lot of teaching experience from my co-workers.
10. What do you dislike about your job?
I would say the tight deadlines are the things that make me daunting a little bit. In some projects, we need to work to the bone to meet the deadlines.
