How students can survive from the context of inflation.(OUTLINE)

Introduction

Inflation occurs and causes many problems which affect to all social strata especially to students

As a student, I find it is not too difficult to survive from this state if we know how to manage our budget, try to get a part time job and start saving money.

Body

Paragraph 1

How can we do to manage our budget? To do this we have to distinguish what we like and what we need for not waste money on useless things.

+Things we like often useless. We are impressed by its interesting function or its nice outlook.

+ What we need is something really essential for our life.

If we do not know this, we will run out of money soon.

Example….

Paragraph 2

Inflation can last long, so the permanent solution to live with it is getting a part time job. There are many jobs for us to do and with the wage we can quite independent in finance.

Paragraph 3

Saving is very necessary because in some situation we can solve finance problem by our savings.

Example…..

Conclusion

Surviving from the inflation is not a big problem anymore if we know the way to manage our budget, have a part time job and save money. Being a student in inflation period, I tried and found that these ways are really helpful. To survive is difficult, but it does not mean impossible.

BROAD STATEMENT

Inflation occurs and causes many problems in which price rising is the biggest one. It affects to many people especially to the students who live far away from home. Depending on their family in finance and now facing with the “price storm”, students have to undergo a difficult period. Besides concentrating on their study, they have to care much about the cost of living which is rising every day. How can they do to survive this state? As a student, I found that in spite of difficulties, students still can survive if they know how to manage their budget, try to get a part time job and start saving money.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST.

Inflation makes our life more difficult than ever. In the past, the price, the cost of living, everything is suitable. Parents can support their children who are students and live far away from home to study without any difficulties. With 200thousand VND, they can live in one week but now, in the context of inflation with the price goes up rapidly, this amount of money is not enough. Everything is rising but the salary is not. It means that the cost of living is really a big problem for both parents and students. However, students can survive and help themselves by manage their budget, save money and try to get a part time job.

QUESTION

What can we do with 200 thousand VND? For a student, with its amount of money, he can live in one week, but this is only true in the past-just three months before- when there is not any inflation at all, and the cost of living is not expensive like these days. Now, the global commercial has trouble; inflation occurs and makes the price higher than ever. The money spend for food, drink, clothing, health care, personal products is rising everyday while the wage is not. This is really a big problem for people especially for student who live far away from home and mostly depend on their family. Many of them have to be frugal in living, save money and get a part time job to survive and improve their life in this context of inflation.

THE POWER OF WRITING

Nowadays, the pace of life is much faster and faster; everything needs to be done more quickly and the language is also. We use language to express ourselves often by speaking and writing. Speaking is save time and more convenient in daily talk while writing seems to be less used, but it is really powerful in our life. Writing can help us record our memories, release ourselves and focus on things to do in our plan.

Firstly, writing records all memorable moments in our life. One’s life is a lively story with full of happiness and sadness. For example, it is the happiness when your son was born in this life or the sadness of separation moment. No matter that is happiness or sadness, we want to keep all of them for each time we reread them, we can recall and feel these memories are still alive vividly in our mind.

Secondly, writing help us release whenever we feel stressful or sad but do not have anyone to share. We can share happiness easily but it is not easy for the sadness. When we feel sad, all we need is someone who just sits and listens to us but how we can do if they are secrets and we cannot share with others. In these situations, writing is really helpful. We can write down all of our thoughts, feelings or whatever makes us stressful and secure that they still be secret. Writing is a way to express ourselves and after do that we take the balance to start new work.

Finally, we can organize our life through writing by making our future plan. If we want to get success in any fields, we have to make a specific plan in each period with things to do to get real goal. Writing plan helps us keep track of life and focus on what we need to do, not waste time or miss some important things. It is really effective especially for the person has short memory. My friend is an example. She often forgets her daily schedule and misses classes but since she tried to list what she needs to do each day, she did not miss classes or late for school any more. Thus, writing is very helpful.

Writing takes time but we can benefit from its power. Using a note book and a pen to record our memorable moments and keep them lively with the time; write down our feelings to release ourselves; and make a plan to focus on things we should do to get success.

My Hobbies

In modern life, we have to face with lots of problems that make us feel tired even stressed. We always have pressure in studying, working, so having a way to relax is very neccessary for us. We need choosing some ways which through them we are not only relaxed, but we can also study something. We can do them in our free-time, or when we feel tired, streesed. They make us feel better and ready to start a new work. They are called " hobbies", so "what are your hobbies?" Listen to music, watch TV, play games or something else?
All people have their hobbies, and so do I. Reading is one of my hobbies. I usually read books in my free-time. Living far away from home, sometimes, I feel very lonely, but when I have a book, I never have that feeling. I like reading when I was a little girl. At that time, my grandmother always lulled me by telling me many mystery stories. Step by step, I was familiar with them. When I was in grade two, I myself can read them. My grandmother was very pleased , so she bought lots of books for me. She herself helped me have the habit of reading.
Books are the most close friend of mine. They broaden my knowledge, and they help me understand the beauty of life, the vary of the world around me. Reading help me have the style of language to express my ideas in the beauty of expression . Moreover, when I feel tired, my brain is heavy with serious study, I can lose myself in some funny stories. They help me feel beter. Through books, I can keep up with the latest news and many interesting things.
I like many kinds of book such as love story book, novel, thriller... sometimes ,I read comic book , and I find that it is very interesting. I think you should try to read a book one day, and I am sure that you will satisfice with it. When you choose a book, you should notice that only choose one which you can understand not choose one so high because if you don't understand, you will feel bored. You see, the book world is very various, so choosing a suitable book is very difficult.We need food for our body as well as we need reading for our mind." Do you agree with me?"

Our University

I have learned in HCM University of Technical Education for three months, but each time recalling to the reason why I choose this university, I am still surprised because this choice came to me very accidentally, and the person who introduced me about this university is my brother.
When I was in grate 8, I loved English very much, so I admired my English teacher,Mai, who graduated from University of Science Social and Humanities . I dreamed to study in her university to become good at English like her. I tried my best to improve my knowledge; however, everything didn't happen as I thought. Three years ago, my brother took the entrance exam to study in a university its name is HCM University of Technical Education. That was the first time I have heard about it. After passing the exam, he started with a new life, a new school. He told me everything about his university; his stories made me fascinated, and little by little, I felt like his school, it became something so familiar with me. When he said that his university had English major, I felt very happy. Sometimes, I thought seriouly about my choice, i wondered which choice would better for me, and, finally,I decided to choose HCM University of Technical Education.
The first time I have seen it was when I came to take entrance exam. I was impressed by its bulkiness. Everything was different from what I imagined.It was larger,bigger and more crowded than I thought. I felt nervous and something like the fascinating. I thought this feeling itself was the promotion made me try my best in the entrance exam.
I passed the entrance exam, it means that I can call the HCM University of Technical Education that, " it is my school". The feeling about it has something like the one when my brother told me about it, but it has something more ,I means it is closer and closer. I had chance to discover the university, and I fint it is very large, about 17 hecta with many zones such as A, B, C, D, E, workshop, laboratory...
Campus area has lots of trees. They make the air become fresher; moreover, under the shade, I can find lots of stone chairs, which are good places for me to do homework or relax. The first day in the university was a memory in my life.I felt strange when I was surounded by many strange faces, but now I soon get used to the new condition, and I have lots of new friends.
I think that I have chosen a good way for my life, and I will never regret about it.

Friendship

"Do you have a definition of friendship?"
...In my opinion, it is one of our relation in society .In daily life, we have to contact to many people around us, time to time, may be they will become our friends. One person will have lots of friends, but I am not sure all of them will be his or her close friend." Do you have any close friends? " i think all of you will answer " Yes". If you have many close friends, you are a happy person because it's not easy to have a close friend in life. Between two friends has a relation called " friendship".There are some conditions of friendship ;indeed, these are the base of true friendship.
The first one is unselfish love. I think it's very necessary for friendship. Two persons make friend together because they have the same hobbies, target, or both of them try to reach the same thing. If one of them has any personal purpose, it can't be called friendship.It's only the exploitation of him ; thus, true friendship is a two side affairs and lives by giving and taking.
The second one is the sincerity in words and behavior. When one has difficult problem , the other should share and support him ; moreover, together they will find solusion to solve the problem easily.
Another important condition of friendship is constancy. Two friends must be loyal to each other ; furthermore, they must know each other well, if not, their friendship will be broken soon because there has too many suspicions between them.
Finally, there must be have confidence and sympathetic between friends.I am sure that all of you won't want to have a friend who always tells everyone about your secrets, laugh at your foolish works , or who is not willing to share sadness and happiness with you. All you need is a friend who you can confide in , and whenever you sad or happy, he is the first person you think about.
If you are having a true friendship, let keep it carefully. Believe me! you are having a valuable treasure. Normally, your friend keeps silent , but he always stands by you whenever you want. A person said that ," The friends like the stars. May be you don't see them , but you sure that they are still there." Let's think about it and thanks God for giving us many good friends.
