My partner is Hao. He attended Quang Trung Lower-secondary school. He had to learn so many things even unnecessary subjects as he told. He had four or five class-periods every school dat and a lot of homework. About tests and examinations, he had different kinds of them. He said he didn’t like some activities at school, especially unnecessary subjects, which only wasted time and money. School children didn’t benefit anything from these subjects. But one thing he valued was the friendship among his schoolfellows.
