Hello M2a. Of course that I can tell you somethings about my country, I love this place. Unfortunately all the world know us by the Soccer (football) and Carnival. Brazil is one of biggest countries in the world (5th) with a diversified natural beauties (Amazonia Jungle, Beachs, etc). We have some important sports people like Pelé (soccer, and considered the athlete of century), Ayrton Senna (Formula 1, and for a lot of people the best of history). We are in a important economic moment too, our economy is growing faster, and the economists says that in 20 years we'll be one of the 5 biggest economy of the world.
It will be a pleisure write to you about Brazil, please choice one thing and we can develop this theme (Soccer, Sports, Culture, Natural Beauties, Famous People, Economy, etc...).
And about you, are you from Vietnam, aren't you? Sorry, but like a lot of people I just know Vietnam by the war. Tell me a little bit about your country. I'm confident that is lot more things (good things) about this place.
Thanks for you message.
Regards.
Tiago |

Hi M2a and Tiago!
I'm Vietnam. And many people. just like Tiago, get to know Vietnam by wars between it and the US and France. Yeah, Vietnamese people won in those wars, which is worthy to recalled :). Vietnam has changed a lot since 1975 when it defeated the US. It is now an attractive place for tourists all over the world to visit. I hope you two will visit my country one day.
I'm now a third-year student at Hochiminh City Univ. of Technology. My major is electrical engineering. My real name in Vietnamese in Huy.
How about you, M2a? Where are you from and what is your real name? |

Hi Huy.
Thanks for your message, I thinks it is interesting this chat between us.
I think we can tell a lot of our countries and about us.
I'm graduated in Engineering too, in Industrial Engineering, or Production Engineering in a very respected University of Brazil (http://www2.ufscar.br/english/index.php) or in the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ufscar).
After this, I made my carrer in the financial area in two multinational companies, and now I'm consultant as I told you.
What will be our next topic? What do you think to tell me more about you city (Hochiminh) and send me a link in English too. After this I can write about my City: São Paulo.
Bye |

Hi all!!
First, welcome Olga to this conversation. Hope you won't find it boring :D. Also hope that you will tell everybody here about your Russia. When I think of Russia, I think of conservatories of music such as Tchaikovsky Conservatory and St.Petersburg Conservatory.
Yeah, let's talk about festivals in Vietnam. I can name some popupar festivals such as: Huế festival (in Huế city, every two years), Đà Lạt Flower Festival (in Lâm Đồng province, annual). Another flower festival will take place in Hà Nội from December 30 to January 3 to celebrate New Year and mark the 1000th anniversary of Thăng Long-Hà Nội (A highlight of the festival will be the symbol of a sacred dragon and a 6m high flower tower surrounded by 9 dragons made from flowers and fruits. A huge book also created from flowers and fruits will be placed opposite the Thap But (pen tower) and Dai Nghien (ink pad).)
Besides, you can find many other festivals and carnavals in other provinces. For example, my hometown Châu Đốc has an annual festival called The Landlady Festival which attracts thousands of people.

Hi, Huy!. I am glad to see among the users of English-test.net. This site offers a golden opportunity for learning English and making friends with people from all over the world. I am from Russia and I am interested in good knowllege of English. (at this moment it is snowing outside. I can see falling snow-flakes out of the window of my office) I prefer to spend my spare time reading books, jogging and chatting with my friends. What about you? What is the weather in your country? |
Woa, I wish to see the snowflakes one day. There is only one place in Vietnam that has snow. That place is so far away in the North, an I am living in the South. Well, although winter is everywhere, it's still hot here, in the South. (I heard that it's really cold in Hanoi, isn't it, Ms. Huyen?) |
