The Da Lat Fieldtrip - 31st March – 3rd April 2009 - My memmory

The Da Lat Fieldtrip

The Da Lat Fieldtrip is an opportunity for me to get many achievements. At the first time, when I heard some information about Da Lat Fieldtrip, I decided to join in because of many reasons. Through this trip, I know how to adapt with the life outdoor university, learn something about people and far away the Mekong Delta. Especially, I like minority groups of people and their cultures. Beside that, I also know how to take care of myself and my friends, and help them when having trouble. It is also an occasion for me to work in group. Groupwork helps me to share work with my friends. They are very important for my major and my future work because I realize that we do not work effectively and well when working individually. When I stayed at hotel and had meals at restaurant, I recognized that living in group was really important.

However, some group leaders and others did not work well. Some students were not careful on this trip. She lost her cell phone in the Da Lat Market. An unexpected accident occurred in this trip. However, this was a problem that we did not expect. In addition, allowed time for going sight-seeing is short. We only spent a morning for two or three destinations. So, we cannot go around all of destinations and know clearly about the places.

One more interesting thing is that listening tour guide’s stories. He told students many stories about the land, destinations and minority couple’s love. They educated students about spirit and moral.  It made all of students feel interested in the places where they came.

In my opinion, I suggest that English Department should organize more and more trips such as Da Lat, Vung Tau, Hue, and others attractive places for students (course 32, 33, 34…). These are some occasions for them to learn and relax after hard-studying years. Furthermore, fieldtrip leader should assign more time for each destination for students to have enough time to travel. Lecturers and students should be more careful to avoid the trouble on the trips.

      In conclusion, I like the Da Lat Fieldtrip. It will remain in my heart and my life forever. I cannot forget my lecturers, my friends and all of people who I have met on this trip. If I have time, I will come back here and I will remember all of things that happening in this trip. However, at that time, I think the feeling will be entirely different and I cannot have enough friends like that. I want to say “Good bye” with Da Lat and begin with my work in front of me. I hope that I will come back here as soon as possible.
