There are many useful subjects that we, Vietnamese students, study at secondary school. First, we must take literature.

Science subjects such as chemistry, physics, and biology are difficult but interesting. Sometimes we do experiments in these classes. In our history and geography classes, we learn about our country’s heritage and its geographical characteristics. English is the most common language we study in our language classes. However, some students also learn French, Chinese, or Japanese. We also have physical education classes and learn how to stay healthy. Information technology now becomes a compulsory subject in every school at this level. Students study how to use computers and design computer programs.

Văn Miếu - The Temple of Literature (Văn Miếu - Ngôi đền văn học) |
The Temple of Literature - Văn Miếu - is in Hà Nội. It is at the corner of Nguyễn Thái Học Street, Tôn Đức Thắng Street and Quốc Tử Giám Street. King Lý Thánh Tông built the temple in 1070 to worship Confucius. Six years later, King Lý Nhân Tông built a school - Quốc Tử Giám - behind the Temple to teach members of the royal family. In 1253, King Trần Thái Tông opened the school to everybody and made it a place for all talented people. In 1484, King Lê Thánh Tông started to build stone stelae on tortoises to honor the most outstanding doctors. Today, students often visit the temple before exams. They come here and show respect to the tortoises. They believe that it will bring luck and help them do better in exams.

Năm 1253, vua Trần Thái Tông mở trường dạy học cho mọi người và coi đây là nơi đào tạo nhân tài. Năm 1484, vua Lê Thánh Tông cho dựng bia đá đặt trên những chú rùa để vinh danh những vị tiến sĩ xuất sắc nhất. Ngày nay, học sinh thường đến thăm chùa trước các kỳ thi.

During music lessons, they have to listen to a rhythm and try to copy it, and sing simple tunes.
In the morning students have number work and reading skills. The afternoons are more creative. They learn to have parties, make little cakes and pour cups of tea for others. They love dressing up in costumes and acting like adults.
