Describe a custom from your country that you would like people
from other countries to adopt.
In Vietnam, we are very proud of the custom to give our full respect
to our teachers. As far as I am concerned, this is a very good custom
which everyone should adopt. There are many reasons for my belief
and I would like to address hereafter some main ones.
Firstly, I would like to describe how respectful we are to our
teachers. In our country, teachers are considered as our second
parents. We never do anything against their advice. We often come
to visit them on important days. For example, if we spend the first
day of a New Year visiting our parents, then the second day will be
for coming to our teachers` homes. Each year we often show our
great respect to our teachers on the Teachers` Day on 20 November.
On that day, students all over the country come to meet their old and
current teachers to express thanks to them. We often give beautiful
flowers and best wishes to our teachers on that day.
There are many reasons for which we respect our teachers. The first
reason which can be obviously seen by everyone is teachers are
people who found the first brick in our knowledge wall and also are
the one to help us to build that wall too. Since they day we
first come to school, it is our teachers who welcome us at the school
gate. They go with us during our school life. Without our teachers,
we could not know how to read and write, how to do count, how to
understand natural events, and so on. It is totally true if we say that
most of the knowledge we have is due to our teachers` effort.
Moreover, our teachers not only teach us lessons of various subjects,
but they also help us to learn how to become a good person. They
teach us to distinguish between the rights and wrongs. They are
happy to see how we grow up and become mature. I still remember
my teacher of Literature in my high school. Whenever we made
mistake, she was very sad as if she had not fulfilled her

responsibility to take care of us. She always gave her best advice to
our problems. As for us, she is really the spiritual sponsor.


From the above reasons, we can conclude that our teachers always
help us to become a good person by teaching us scientific and social
knowledge. Therefore, all students in the world should love and
respect our teachers.
