It was the top news source for old and young adults, chosen by 42 percent of old people and more than one third of young adults and teenagers.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to apply for a part-time receptionist, which you advertised on your website on 11 July. I believe having a part-time job is a great opportunity to learn valuable skills.

I am in my final year of high school. I have some experience in this job before. Last summer, I worked at a hotel as a receptionist. My duties included welcoming guests, making and confirming guest bookings. I also answered incoming calls and managed reservations to make sure the customers were satisfied with their services.

I am friendly, sociable and hard-working. I can also speak English, so I can wait on foreign customers.

would be delighted to meet you in person to discuss my application.

I am available for an interview on weekdays.

If my application is successful, I will be able to start work after 31 July.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Ly

Nowadays, more and more young Vietnamese people are embracing the celebration of festivals like Christmas and Halloween. In my opinion, this trend has both positive and negative impacts on the youth in Vietnam.

Firstly, the positive aspect of this trend is the encouragement of extracurricular activities. Celebrating global festivals provides opportunities for creative expression, fostering a sense of teamwork and skill development among young individuals. This contributes positively to their personal growth and well-rounded development.

Secondly, there is a concern that such global celebrations may lead to the loss of cultural identity among the youth. It is crucial to strike a balance between embracing foreign cultures and preserving traditions. The risk of neglecting local festivals must be acknowledged to maintain a strong sense of identity.

Finally, exposure to different cultures during global festivals helps young Vietnamese people learn about the world. This cultural exchange fosters understanding and building a more interconnected global community.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that while celebrating international festivals has its positive aspects, the youth in Vietnam needs to maintain a balance. Embracing foreign cultures should not come at the expense of neglecting their rich traditions. A balanced approach will ensure the positive impacts outweigh the potential negative consequences.
