Knowing about the weather and climate of the country you intend to visit is always recommend. This knowledge may effect the time of year you choose to travel to your destinations as well as what sort of clothing you wear. Russia ia a very large country and as such , its weather changes from region to region. The summer months are only a few degrees cooler than most other parts of the world, while the winter months are extremely cold-getting colder th further worth one goes. It’s a good idea to look up the predicted temperatures so that you will be better prepared for them. Besides, may be you have problems. Example for, your visa is not registered in a polile. You have 3 days to register your visa but cops pretends that they dont’s know about it. If you are not going to pay thay say that you’ll be taken to police department. In this case, 1st advice: Don’t be lieve it and don’t pay anyway! Thay just need your money. They don’t need you. If they understand that your are not going to pay they’ll leave you. The 2nd advice: if cop wants money anyway, give hime 50 rubels (about 2$) and say that you don’t have money. All money left in a hotel. This is last price you can pay! But don’t pay anything if you know that everything is ok with you. As you know, nowadays Kremlin palace is an official residence of the President of Russian Fe deration. So, you can visit just part of the Kremlin territory. To visit it you should buy ticket in the ticket office which is in the Alexander’s Garden, western side of the Kremlin. Your ticket only allows entrance to each of these places once so see everything you want to before you leave. Moscow is a great city. Allow for a minium of 3 full days. But if you have time, and money, stay for a week. VI- “HUE TEMPLE AND MAUSOLEUMS” IS ONE OF THE WORLD WONDERS IN VIET NAM. If the Kremlin is strong hold of Russian , Hue Temple and Mausoleums is the most brilliant specimens of Viet Nam’s ancient architeure. The Temple was built in 1845 as the Bao Dinh palace by then emperor Thieu Tri in the area now known as Tay Loc word in Hue’s royal citadel. Since 1885, when the royal citadel was lost to the French, the palace has been remained unoccupied. In 1908, the wooden structure was moved to its present location at 3 Le Truc street, some 3 Km from the previons location. It was turned into the long An Temple and used as a library for the imperial training school for maindarins of the Nguyen Dynasty. In 1925, Emperor Khai Dinh signed a decree to use it the Khai Dinh Museum. The building was renamed the Hue Royal Citadel Antique Museum after the liberation of the South in 1975. the architecture of Hue Temple wonderfully mixed with the romantic nature of this land. Speaxing about Hue Temple, the Vietnamese used to understand it as the very history of a Royal Temple with its unique and aldest system of palatial architectures and Mausoleums that still remain in Viet Nam. Similar to the Kremlin, Hue Temple where all predecessor of the Nguyen Kings and lords were worshipped.

After 3 weeks rearching, we finished our assignment. We feell very satisfield with it. There are 10 pages in our final assignment. Every part is very clear and easy. Besides it, for our assignment, there are overall the Kremlin is a wonderful place to visit as you really do get a felling of the power that has come from these buildings throughout history. It’s isn’t very difficult for us to do this assignment. Because we gain a lot of valuable skills and experience from the assignment. And my partner and I understand each other very much. Especially, we received carefully helping from our teacher. That’s some advantages of doing it. But there are some disavantages such as: vocabulary, time…the teacher don’t accept copying. So, we spent a lot of times translating that into English from Vietnamese. At that time, we have to take different exams. We’re really stressfull. Although we try our best, our assignment isn’t good as we expected. So, we hope that the teachers give useful advices to us to complete it more effectively. Generally speaking, this is really English learning method for tourism students. It brings us a lot of of benefits. It helps us gain more knowledge in tourism, history, art… Notonly in Viet Nam but also in the world… This is also a chance for us to learn to work in pairs effectively, how to support each other which all will be useful for our future carreer. As for me, doing assignment isn’t very difficult! We highly recommend this method. Thank the teacher for helping us to finish this assignment so much!!! D – RECOMMENDATIONS. In my opinion, this exercise is very interesting but a World Wonder report part which ia to be a minium of 4 pages is too short for us to do. I think that should be a minium of 6 pages is best. So , we can write more informations about it!!! THE END PHOTOGRAPHS ABOUT HUE TEMPLE
