English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries, children are taught and encouraged to learn English as a second language.

On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other languages often give you the option to translate the site. It is the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no matter where in the world you are, you will find some of these books and newspapers available.

Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is the easiest language in the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide you want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe. Because it is the international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assistance and help in every part of the world. You can test it by online travel.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help
to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But
increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight
of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs.
However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too
much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about
taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing
you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it
could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true;
shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in
pain then you should stop and take a rest.
2. All forms of exercise must be started__________.

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated the surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which can be gained from direct human experience. The first geologist on the moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of interpreting the story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the rod deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine the history of this frozen world in any detail.

Who called on the Americans to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system?

Education system of Vietnam in the past

Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records that indicated a formal education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long and were busy with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the Ly dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.

To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Tong established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select scholars for office, and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’s history, was set up for the education of sons of royalty and other high – ranking officials.

There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don,

Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan… The students would only study literature and ancient history of China, of Viet Nam for the entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public Administration curriculum was finally added to the program. When the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were taught simple mathematics.

From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education program has adopted the western educational system with three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese National language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law, science, math, medicine, and as well as other languages.

Vietnam is a densely populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover from the ravages of war.  Substantial progress was achieved from1986 to 1997 in moving forward from an extremely low level of development and significantly reducing poverty.  Since 2001, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and international integration.  They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive export-driven industries.

Vietnam’s membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force of the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001. have led to even more rapid changes in Vietnam’s trade and economic regime.  Vietnam’s exports to the US doubled in 2002 and again in 2003.

Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a decade long negotiation process.  This should provide an important boost to the economy and should help to ensure the continuation of liberalizing reforms.

Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labour force that is growing by more than one million people every year.  Vietnamese authorities have tightened monetary and fiscal policies to stem high inflation.  Hanoi is targeting an economic growth rate of 7. 5-8% during the next five years.
