I choose question 1

Milk tea - a drink that many people including me love. In my opinion, perhaps its name has brought us curiosity: milk mixed tea. Moreover, milk tea has been with many people from childhood to adulthood. When sad or happy, everyone always chooses to drink milk tea.

We will feel many things mixed as a symphony when drinking it such as the toughness of pearls, the greasy and sweetness of milk foam, the bitterness of teas like black tea, oolong tea, green tea. In addition, there are combinations with fruits like taro, chocolate, strawberry, mango,... 

Currently, many milk tea shops are open from famous brands to home-made milk tea. Since then, many creative versions with milk tea were born such as cheese milk tea, coconut milk tea, coffee mixed milk tea, ... showing the uniqueness and passion of people for this drink.

Those are the reasons why milk tea has become a "national drink".

2. Do any books, songs, or foods make you nostalgic for the past? Explain.

Each person has many beautiful memories to remember. One of the things that can make me nostalgic of my intense childhood is Doraemon vitamin C candy. That is a kind of functional foods, which are often sold in the pharmacy. To attract the attention of children, they made a Doraemon-shaped candy box with many colorful candies inside. When I was a child, I could only get that one if I were sick. My father took me to a pharmacy to buy medicines for me. I always stared at the candy box until I got it. At that time, although I didn't know the candy box's price, it was a fortune for me. Sometimes, I wished I was sick to go and buy that candy box, how silly I was. Nowadays, I have tried thousands of tasty foods. However, whenever I see that Doraemon box, I still remember the nostalgic taste of it, which is a part of my childhood.

2. Do any books, songs, or foods make you nostalgic for the past? Explain.

One of the richest emotions that music brings me is nostalgia. For this reason I love the melodies of music. These days are already in the winter season. The weather changes dramatically, it is chilly and cooler which we can sense a year with all tiresome things is about to pass and the New Year is coming. Some instrumental songs with graceful and playful rhythms make me miss Tet and miss my home so much. Others may think about Tet with decorative scenes or irresistible food, but my soul only has emotions with melodies. The beautiful memories of Tet for me are not things that others can see, but rather emotions that I understand.

When we talk about food, everyone will think about their favorite food right away. For me, I find spaghetti irresistible, the feeling of sour and sweet of crush tomatoes, the tender and juicy of meatballs and the squishy soft taste of noodles always makes me happy for the rest of the day. Spaghetti is also well known for its easy-to-make method and its variety of ways to cook. With simple things like milk and cheese, you can have a delicious bowl of spaghetti for your family, that's the reason why it keeps getting popular all over the world.

2. Do any books, songs, or foods make you nostalgic for the past? Explain.

I really enjoy listening to a song named "Supermarket Flowers" by Ed Sheeran, a song that he wrote and now sings for his deceased grandmother. Whenever I heard that song, it always ends up with tears falling on my face. My grandfather passed away about 1 year before this song was released. My grandfather wanted me to study about English when he was alive. I used to dream about the Music Academy, in which I can fulfill my dream of becoming an instrumentalist. He never said out loud that he wanted me to study English, but his face showed up a priceless smile whenever he heard me spoke English. And in Supermarket Flowers Ed Sheeran sings: "...You got to see the person that I have become. Spread your wing. And I know that when God took you back he said Hallelujah. You're home". My mind automatically shows me my grandfather's happiest face when we speak English together (He really good at English and I super proud of him, as always). And this song simply reminds me about all the memories that I had with my grandfather.
