Some people say that a place of interest is a place famous for its scenery or a well-known historical
site. I don’t think it has to be so limited. In my opinion, a place of interest is simply one that people
like going to. In my town, the park is an attraction because many people love spending time there.
Old people do exercise and walk in the park. Children play games there while their parents sit and
talk with each other. Another place of interest in my town is Hoa Binh market. It’s a traditional
market with a lot of things to see. I love to go there to buy food and clothes, and watch other people
buying and selling. Foreign tourists also like this market because they can experience the culture of
Vietnamese people, and buy woven cloth and other handicrafts as souvenirs.

Practical stress management can help students deal with their worries and become more
productive, competent and efficient. First of all, students must be able to design and stick to
a timetable. Choose a relaxing break between work and study, even if it’s just taking out time
to breathe. In addition, a healthy lifestyle is essential for students. Let’s drink more water as
well as take out time to get some air and exercise. Furthermore, organization is very important
in academic life for dealing with stress. By keeping academic notes organized, turning in
assignments on time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be reduced to a great extent.
Stress can also get worse if a person feels lonely. Therefore, by letting out all your thoughts
to someone you trust, you immediately feel a lot better. However, if you feel extremely
stressed out, take a break and do something you love. Whether it is painting or listening to
music, doing something you enjoy can cheer up your mood and distract you from a stressor.

stress.
