“If you had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, what city in the world would be your destination? Explain why?” Number 11 If I had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, I would go right away to Geneva of Switzerland This city is a worldwide center for finance, diplomacy and science, thanks to the presence of numerous international organizations, like the headquarters of agencies of United Nations, the Red Cross and The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Geneva also stays a cultural center for Switzerland through time with renowned sites, including Cathedral St-Pierre, Museum of Art and History Nevertheless, numerous visitable places are not the ultimate reasons why I long to visit Geneva I just need to take a stroll of CERN laboratory and that would be satisfying Currently a high energy physics student, I find resource for the subject at my university rather limited Up to now, all the reactions between particles, the main subject of my senior year study, have been either simplified by Feynman’s diagrams or written in complicated equations The visual scenes for them only appear when I focus my eyes on nothing That simply drives me to long for a visit of CERN, where accelerators and decelerators are put into work for research, where particle collisions don’t only appear on paper, so much And so, if I could actually have a magic carpet to go there, I would get to see how my imagination fitted the real scenes of experiments Even if I could not see with my own eyes how particles are set to react there, I would be satisfied with contemplating the accelerator complex built by tremendous human efforts for science and knowledge discovery That alone could help to enrich my imagination, which I think is necessary for science study, and that alone would be an extremely rare and precious experience for a Vietnamese student From knowing the fundamental structures of lab complex, from hearing any scientists’ discussions, I could well self-visualize particle collisions and gain different viewpoints “Seeing is believing” - I trust whatever I could witness would help to accelerate my study a great deal Geneva, where CERN is located, becomes the place I would visit at first choice if I had a magic carpet In fact, I think I will really go to Geneva, to CERN, one day in the near future However, I would still choose Geneva over other cities at the moment because, factually, any city I visit will never remain the same when I set my feet on its land again Thus, if I had a chance to fly to Geneva with a magic carpet this time, I would have a different perspective about the city, the CERN laboratory and the machines the following time And so would I about the physics fundamental problems, as I could well be a researcher the next time there Number 12 Someone asked me where I had would come if I had had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin Then I said that China was the wonderful destination that I always dreamed to come there That is a country where there are thousands of historical years China is one of the soonest human civilization My passion is to see ancient things Over 5000 years, China was founded by great works such as tombs, Great Wall… Great Wall is constructed by soil and stones from th BC to 16th centery to defend the empire China from the invader It is 21,196 kilometers long according to the newest survey Its average height is meters to the ground Once I studied Great Wall from secondary school, I wanted to see it immediately The best time to see is the spring Going long for walk on there under the immense blue sky must be an amazing feeling Besides, under the ground of a somefield, there is a giantly royal tomb of the emporor Tan Thuy Hoang The royal tomb was one of the first project that Tan Thuy Hoang proceeded when he was alive He used about than 700,000 people to build the royal tomb for himself There are about 6000 warriors and their purpose is to protect the emporor in another world from evil souls They were made by clay That is the greatest tomb I have ever known Moreover, I love China not only its historical places but also its culture They created incredible kung fu films based on classical stories of the writer Kim Dung Nothing is more interesting to stop me watching them Actresses in films are so beautiful in gorgeous dresses In conclusion, eventhough I was not born in China, this country seems to be strangly familiar to me If I have the opportunity, I will not miss to travel China Number 13 “If you had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, what city in the world would be your destination? Explain why?” With the development of the society, people are getting busier with their career Although I have to face with this trend, I usually spend time thinking about my life after finishing my work I think that when I had a magic carpet like Aladdin, I would definitely go to Paris, France with my beloved people First of all, going to France to study is one of my biggest dreams I am a physics student since this subject is my passion Being a Physics teacher is the way I choose settle and build my future In order to study abroad, I have searched information about many countries with their cultures Undeniably, Paris is the most suitable place for me with a lot of high – quality universities, having professional management and good teaching methods The distance between Hanoi and Paris is quite far, therefore, the magic carpet will have me enhance my observation about this place without worrying about financial problem Another reason is that I am in love with lifestyle and landscape in nice country – France Unlike modern and active beauty in many other cities, Paris has an ancient grace with lots of beauty spots which I desire to witness such as: Eiffel Tower, Triumphal arch, cathedral and so on I always dream in someday that I, together with my girlfriend, could walk along Seine River at sunset and enjoy French traditional foods Finally, Ho Chi Minh – the Great father figure of Vietnam had experienced for many years in France War is over, the relationship between Vietnam and France becomes closer I, however, want to understand why Uncle Ho could find the way in France – the conquering nation to save our country Simultaneously, learning by internet, TV or newspapers, I can improve my knowledge in political and historical areas Moreover, if I have a chance by this trip, I will bring back the culture and architecture of Paris which had dominated Vietnam for nearly one century In conclusion, although the magic carpet of Aladdin is in reality or imaginary, everybody has the right to dream about it Certainly, I will use it for the journey to Paris Besides, this magic carpet is also useful for me to help the others Number 14 Man, through the ages, always dream of the magic wings which would help him travel anywhere on this spectacular Earth Obviously, as almost other dreams, it never came true Nevertheless, nowadays, with the development of air services, we can go to every corner of this world, wherever and whenever we want as long as we have enough money Assume that you had Aladdin’s magic carpet, where would you go? Actually, each of us will have our own destination depending on our taste Some may prefer expensive cities as New York, London or Tokyo whereas others love somewhere that is more romantic and quiet as Venice or Vancouver For my part, despite of the fact that I have variety of favorite cities, I would like to go for a tour round our unique and charming capital, Hanoi It is seem to be unusual, even ridiculous when I choose Hanoi while I am living and studying there Obviously, you might think that there is nothing left for me to discover in this so familiar city and I should try newfangled places as foreign cities However, Hanoi probably is good choice for me because of several reasons Firstly, in my point of view, living in Hanoi does not mean you knew and understood everything about it Indeed, although I have lived here for two years, I didn’t have many chances to learn about Hanoi as well as experience its beauty All of my memories are the way from my house to University, some cinemas, supermarkets and something like that Actually, I just walked twice around Sword Lake and even haven’t seen West Lake yet It must be great if I had a chance to take a walk on ancient Old Quarter, enjoy a tasty Trangtien ice cream and witness a colorful sunset in West Lake Such is the irony of life that we usually ignore close beauties to dream about impractical heavens That is why I aspire to discover and understand Hanoi instead of many other fascinating cities Secondly, Hanoi is worthy of a wonderful destination for anyone due to its multiform attractiveness What makes the unique of Hanoi is the perfect mix of traditional style with modernization of an extensive capital In fact, Hanoi has a thousand-year history with many ancient places, such as the Temple of Literature, the One Pillar Pagoda, Thanglong royal Citadel Beside this, there are also many modern leisure centers that may be more appropriate to the young as Baoson Paradise, Kinder Park or World Syrena Furthermore, if you prefer to commune with nature, Thienson Suoinga Resort and Bavi National Park must be wise choices It is also exciting when we experience cultural beauties of Hanoi- special food, traditional handicrafts and colorful festivals In addition, people in Hanoi are very hospitable, friendly and enthusiastic In recent years, the city has made great strides in tourist industry and gradually becomes one of the most remarkable destinations in Asia That is reason why Hanoi was considered as a perfect city to travel In conclusion, without suggesting that a foreign city must be a good choice if I had a chance to travel, I strongly believe that Hanoi is still a mysterious city to discover There is no denying that the city has many weak points, such as environmental pollution, traffic jam or expensiveness However, as time goes on, everything will be improved I am proud of our lovely capital and whether I had a magic carpet or not, I will go for a tour round Hanoi someday Number 15 We all know that experienced adventures and challenges, Aladdin lives happily with Princess Badroulbadour ever after However, what about the destiny of his famous magic carpet? Where is it now? Well, let’s imagine it fell into my hands, then I could travel to anywhere I would like Do you know which place I would choose as the first stop of my journey? It would be Istanbul, of course As a history lover, I am surprised by the unique admirable past of this city Istanbul was a Greek city called Byzantium which was established around 2600 years ago The Roman emperor Constantine renamed it to his name – Constantinople - and assigned it as the empire’s capital In 1453, the great city was captured by Islamic Turks and became the capital of the Ottoman Empire with a new name, Istanbul For centuries it had been one of the greatest cities in the world; but the most impressive fact is it survived numerous wars and dynasties, revived incredibly from all destructions and natural disasters In modern times, it isn’t a capital anymore but still the economic, historical and cultural heart of Turkey and among the world’s largest cities To describe Istanbul in a few words, I would say it is a miraculous mixture It is a transcontinental city straddling the Bosporus Strait between Asia and Europe and located on the strategic life-lines of global commerce Here there are vestiges of various cultures including Greek traditions, Eastern Orthodox and Islamism Moreover, it also shows a harmony of historical places with modern commercial areas If I arrived to Istanbul, I would visit its historical center first This area has a reputation for well-preserved ancient architectures and are honored as an UNESCO Heritage Site Hagia Sophia, Istanbul’s most iconic structure, has been my desired destination for years Characterizing for Byzantine architecture, it was constructed in the sixth century and stood as the largest cathedral in the world for more than a thousand years; now it open to the public as a museum Then I would walk on long-standing streets to see other magnificent buildings such as the Topkapi Palace and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, which represent for Ottoman architecture I might also reach the seashore to contemplate the famous lighthouses and fortresses around the Golden Horn Harbor, which is, in my opinion, one of the most spectacular scenery in the world For remaining time, I would travel to another half of the city - the modernized urban area There I could witness firsthand the rapid transformation of Istanbul in recent years Turkey is a rising star in the global economy due to its natural advantages as well as its thorough and effective reform – a good lesson for my very country So there I would view the skyscrapers, the animated commercial centers Another thing I want to enjoy in Istanbul would be seafood and kebab (a typical Turkish cuisine) in the well-known and upscale restaurants along the seashore Furthermore, if it were weekend, it would be wonderful to watch the Galatasaray F.C playing at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium, because Turkish people are popularly known as the crazy soccer fans Finally, I might come back the old quarter and spend time to look in some traditional markets there I would choose some great souvenirs for my family, my friends and myself, absolutely And I might able to purchase another mysterious treasure as my carpet, who knows? In brief, Istanbul is a perfect combination of natural beauty and human creativity, traditions and modernity A travel to this beautiful city would be my really memorable experience How about you? Number 16 Since being a child, I was fond of fairy tales, especially Aladdin and his magic lamp Image of Aladdin fly on the magic carpet over beautiful sceneries has imprinted deeply in my mind Were I to possess a magic carpet, I would travel to many different cities all over the world By way of illustration, Venice would be my destinations by virtue of its unique architecture and romantic atmosphere Eventful pace of life and exciting amusement of New York also fascinates me Nonetheless, my desire is quite simple that is discovering Hanoi due to its diversity of peaceful, awesome beauty over different time periods in a day and food Hanoi pace of life begins on early morning when citizens also start doing exercises after good sleeps The view is so live with varied exercise from slow tai chi to vibrant aerobics Besides, taking a trip to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in order to see the saluting the flag is unforgettable experience When the flag is pulled to the top of flagpole, I could feel the great effort of previous generations in fighting and defending country and my patriotism is on the rise Having a bowl of Pho help you enjoy a full Hanoi peaceful morning and provide sufficient energy for a new workday Then, however, Hanoi has a vigorous change From view on the magic carpet, I can see tremendous number of people trying to go to school or work on time move on roads and streets Everybody go out with hope of successful and lucky day Hanoi, at the moment, emerges in an active way and it is truly a motive force of Vietnam economic Furthermore, in the afternoon, visiting historical monument is best way to see Hanoi is not only modern but also old To take a case in this point, Thaprua, Ngocson temple and Thehuc Bridge attached closely to Hanoi’s history are icons of the capital city Furthermore, The Temple of Literature, which is first university in the world, is a proud of Vietnamese people There are also enormous number of temples and pagodas which assist in revealing entire one thousand years history of Hanoi To finish a day around Hanoi, going out in old quarter is a novel feeling Thirty six streets and precincts have created a great mystery matrix in which strangers are likely to get lost Hanoi tradition still presents obviously in old quarters; each street is named after a typical feature For prime example, Hang Thuoc is well-known for medicine; otherwise, Hang Chao is where people sell rice gruel The air is filled with many smells of delicious and fragrant favor of foods; however, they have low price such as baked sweet potato or baked chestnuts, etc Evening is also suitable time to enjoy Hanoi delicious foods In conclusion, Hanoi has hidden beauties that fascinate me in all time in the day It represents peace in the morning, animation in the workday, the past in the place of historic interest and tradition in old quarter in the evening Moreover, food in Hanoi is also appealing and diverse Thus, Hanoi is my ideal destination in my adventure on the magic carpet Number 17 When i was a little child, i dreamt about one day i set my foot on the lands of dream called Disney land,in which all of my beloved cartoon characters live Day by day,when i entered my adulthood with mature enough ,my girl's heart urged me travel to Paris known as shopping paradise and romantic homeland My aspiration is that one day i can stand under the Eiffel towel But one thing changed all my plan Therefore, at the moment,if i had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, i couldn't wait to expose myself to the dream-like land, Moscow Moscow is neither my academic target nor dream destination, nevertheless, i love Moscow through each special letter from special person -my best friend We have known each other since we were freshman I was strongly impressed on his local accent,which indicated we are from same province,right on the first class Since this day,we became attached to each other ,due to the fact that nobody can understand our local voice He always nurtures to go abroad to study futher and discovers the world Time passes by quickly, one day he phoned me and informed me that he gain a scholarship to Moscow Russia The day which i saw him off, i could not hold back my feeling and bursted into tear Just as everytime he comforted me "Everything is going alright ,be strong my girl" he said After settled down month ,he called me via skype to talk a tons of thing about this city He showed a lot of photos regarding historical places such as kremlins, Cathedral Square, Cathedral of Dormition and especially Red Square But,one day after a tiring lesson ,i received a hand letter from him It could not describe how jubilate i was There were many pictures with some notes in each ,he actually brought Moscow to me Regularly on every 25th of each month,i was nervous to wait his letter.Sometime,a line of unending poplar erased my trouble in hot summer in Vietnam Snow flakes enables me feel the cold of foreign country and even of my friend's heart Gradually, Moscow is becoming a part of my life and sometime i even felt that Dung was side by side me instead of living far from here I indeed did not know since when i have fallen in love with this city However, last month a exceptional letter was sent to me-a picture of he and his girl friend I did not know the reason why i felt my heart broke down and at that moment i recognized that i love him more than i have ever imagined Fromwhich ,we losed contact gradually Moscow is also far from me forever Every night Dung and Moscow always appears in my mind ,unfortunatelly, the person who goes along with him is not me Thus, if i had a carpet now,i immediately go to Moscow to see the beautiful landscape that i had seen in photo and especially i really want to know how wonderful it is that stole the boy i love most Number 18 “If you had a magic carpet as the one of Aladdin, what city in the world would be your destination?
