    • Welcome aboard! 
      This platform is designed to add power to our face-to-face class. Reading and writing make up an essential part of our life. We read every day to keep up with the events that are happening around us and then we write to express opinions toward those events. I'm sure that it is easy for you to write in Vietnamese, but I hope that after completing this course, you will love writing in English.
