In high school students go to classes from first grade to 6th grade. In college they first mall to 6th mall. When children go to school parents have to pay and it not for free like United Stated. They have to pay for notebooks, pencils, clothes, almost everything. Some people have enough money to educate their children from first to 6th grade.
Students walk to school since there no school buses. They walk for about three miles every day. If you have money you can take a bus to school, but most students walk. They start at 8:00 am until 3:30 pm. In the morning, when students go to class they have to sing a song to Thai flag. Then after that they go to class.

Three Qualities of a Good Teacher
To my understanding, a good teacher should not just be educated, but have a good teaching strategy. Many teachers just state facts. Good teacher must make these facts understandable. Another quality of a good teacher is being friendly with students. Students should not be afraid or intimidated to ask some questions. One more characteristic of good teachers is not to have teacher’s pets in a classroom. Every student must be equal.

Three Qualities of a Good Student
In Vietnam, students need to come to school 15 minutes early to clean up a classroom and finish home work before school
In class students need to listen to a teacher and pass all the tests in one year. Every year, if students got good grades the school gives them books, pens and even some money.

Three Qualities of a Good Teacher
Teachers are our second parents who understand our behaviour and learning style. They care and worry about each pupil as a member of family. Their mission is to be a template of behavior both in the form of clothes, and in comprehension of knowledge. The pupil is no more than a teacher but he/she tries to reach that level with the help of teacher’s knowledge. And teachers in return show the endurance to fill students with that knowledge. I am grateful to our teachers for their patience!

My family is too big. I have three sisters and three brothers, my parents taught me a lot of things some of these things were help me when I took a mistake. Who I speak nice with people.
My parents did not have a lot of money but they had good health. My dad worked all week, my mom was very good because helped my dad a lot. My mom was always at home working, cleaning up or cooking.
They taught me some very important rules about life .They taught me how to help the old people. My parents taught me that I have to look at things with an open mind.
Right now I feel that when I do something I remember my parents because of their way of raising me. I feel thankful for everything. I wish I could be the same as my dad and mom.

When I was a child I did have a good time. My family is: my parents, my siblings and me. They taught me a lot of things. I will never forget my parents.
My parents worked very much and came home very late. I helped my parents in the house; cleaned house, cooked dinner, watched my little sister, and washed clothes. When I was sick my mother gave me medicine. She bought good clothes, toys, and books. We read books every night and she taught about history.
My parents helped me always with school, my homework, college and my life. My parents told me that did could be good and bad.
My parents were the best in the world for me. I thank them for all they did for me. I want to take care of them.

Advice to Newcomers
Welcome to my country. I want to give you three advices that can help. You must be careful, you can use bus and other public transportation, and people can help you.
When I say “to be careful” I mean: not to speak with mischievous people, not to go in to the night, be careful with money, and do not go in to little streets. I am speaking about this, because in my country many people haven’t worked and between they are angry, sometimes they drink too much alcohol and take narcotics.
If you use public transport it’s easier, because anybody can break into your car, sometimes you can’t find for parking space, you can’t park a car on streets at night.
If you can’t find anything, people can ask you about location and speak what transport you can use.
In my country more place where people moving without transportation, you can see many people on the streets, it’s usual. Any of them is good, any bad, they are different. If you will use my advice, you cannot see what bad in my country.

Food
Traditional food in my country is fruit, vegetables, chicken, watermelon and rice. In the United States it is easier to cook than in Mexico. I didn’t have to start cooking at 5:30 am. In the United States there are buffets and different types of food. I don’t like some foods because of the chemicals. In my country everything is natural. When you need something, you can go to a market.

I think that all fruit, vegetable, and meat are the same in my country and the U.S. The only difference is which dishes people cook at home. In America there are a lot of pre-packaged products in stores. In Russia there is less. There is a big variety of sweets with different stuffing. There are a lot of kinds of candy and cookies with cinnamon. It’s very bad because I don’t like cinnamon.

My country has a lot of traditions associated with food. For example, in the evening, the whole family eats dinner and talks to each other. In Ukraine on holidays people cook a lot of delicious dishes; and cold appetizers and a lot of different desserts. There is a tradition that on Christmas Day people prepare twelve different dishes and sit down to eat when the first star comes out in the sky. On Easter, people bake pies with raisins and paint eggs. Traditional salad is ‘’Olivie’’. Ukrainian food is more natural. Food in Ukraine and in U.S. is not the same; but every country has food that is tasty and not so delicious. In America, I like smoked ham, salads, bacon, desserts like biscuit and a lot of other food.
