1. Hello. My name's Nguyen Hong Phong. I'm sixteen year old. I'm a student at Chu Van An High school. Iam in class 10A with forty-five other students. I study many subjects such as Maths, Physic, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, History, Geography, and so on. I like to learn English best because it is an international language. I don't really like getting up early, but I have to because I often have a lesson at 7:15

 

2. Hello. My name's Nguyen Lan Phuong. I teach English at Chu Van An High School. It is one of the biggest schools in Ha Noi. Teaching is hard work, but I enjoy it because I love working with children

 

3. I'm Nguyen Hong Ha. I'm Phong's father. We live in a small flat above a corner shop in Tay Son Street. The flat is far from Phong's school so he usually goes to school by bike. I worry about this. He has to ride his bike in narrow and crowded streets to get to school. There's so much traffic: so- many cars, motorbikes and bicycles
