Unforgettable Experiences
Interviewer: This is Radio 3. In our ‘unforgettable Experiences’ programme tonight we talk to
Christina, a successful business woman. Hello Christina, welcome to our
programme.
Christina: Hello and thank you! It’s nice being with you tonight.
Interviewer: Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorable experience in
your life?
Christina: Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my
house burned down.
Interviewer: Really? How did it happen?
Christina: the fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove.
Interviewer: What were you doing at that time?
Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes
to find myself surrounded by walls of fire.
Interviewer: That’s terrible! How did you escape?
Christina: I was terrified. Then I heard my mother’s voice calling my name. I rushed to her.
She carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn.
Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way?
Christina: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the
experience helped me to grow up.
Interviewer: What do you mean?
Christina: Well, before the fire, I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how
small my room was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed
everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I didn’t really need my old
thing. I just needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes anytime, but a
family can never be replaced.
Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you something, too.
Christina: Exactly. It taught me to appreciate my family more than things

Mai is my neighbor. She turned 16 recently and her parents held a birthday party for her. I was
one of those invited.
The party began at about three in the afternoon. There were about twenty of us gathering in
Mai’s house. She didn’t like having the party at a restaurant because it is noisy and expensive.
We gave presents to Mai and she happily opened them. It must really be exciting to receive all
those presents. After that Mai’s mother served us soft drinks and biscuits. We then listened to
music and played cards. The winners were given prizes. At about four thirty Mai’s mother brought
out birthday cake. It was beautifully decorated with pink and white icing. Sixteen colourful candles
sat in the middle of the cake. We all clapped our hands eagerly and sang “Happy Birthday” as she
blew out the candles and cut the cake. We helped ourselves to slices of the delicious cake and
sang all the song that we knew.
Finally at about six in the evening the party came to an end. We were all tired but happy. The
parents of other children came to collect them by motor bikes. I helped Mai and her mother clean
up the mess we had made. After that I walked home, which was only three doors away.

Lan is one of my best friend. We have many things in common so we often meet and do things
together. We live on the same street. It’s interesting that her birthday is also in June but a week
before mine so we often help each other to celebrate it. Last June we had a very special birthday
parties. We didn’t have it at home as usual but we had our birthday celebrations at San Son beach
during a two week holiday with our parents. We spent the morning swimming and playing on the
beach. We had seafood for lunch at the restaurant. In the afternoon we went shopping around the
area and bought lots of souvenirs. Though I did not have many presents on my last birthday, but I
enjoyed it most of all.

Spring school is an informal school. It provides classes to disadvantaged children in Ho Chi
Minh City. Around 30 street children live and study at the school and about 250 children with
special difficulties from District 1 regularly attend classes.
The Organization for Educational Development co-operate with Spring School to set up
English classes in 1998. Dance, theatre, singing and folk music classes were set up a year later.
Children from these classes participate in fundraising performances. They raise money to
continue their English and Performance Arts classes.
Spring School requires volunteers to help organise their fundraising dinner held annually in
June. This is an exciting night in which children dance, sing and play music at one of largest
hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. They also need foreign volunteers to contact sponsors and help to
expand the school activities. Volunteers are required from February until July to help organise
these events.
It is hoped that more schools like Spring School will soon be found in other cities in Vietnam.
