The secret to good study of the valedictorian of grade 10 Chemistry at Phan school

Our first impression of Kien was a tall male student with a bright face, exuding intelligence and composure.

Through conversation, Kien shared: I started to learn and have a special love for Chemistry since the summer of 7th grade, preparing for 8th grade from images and videos of experiments on the internet. The more I studied, the more I loved the subject and determined to become a student specializing in Chemistry.

Nguyen Trung Kien is an excellent student for many years in a row.

Kien believes that “you must not hide your ignorance”, so if you are still unsure, you should boldly ask your teacher or classmates. This helps you understand the nature of the lessons and remember them longer.

At home, I often study selectively, looking up new sources of documents, good lectures both in Vietnamese and English, thereby gaining a new perspective and approaching Chemistry better. At the same time, I also participate in Fanpage groups on social networks such as: I love chemistry, Chemistry for Secondary School... to create interaction and exchange exercises among friends in the group, helping Kien have more diverse problem-solving methods.

Kien determined that the most important thing is to self-study and build goals and methods to avoid boredom in studying. That is, in class, he does not allow himself to lose focus for a single moment while the teacher is teaching and tries to take full and detailed notes.

Another reference channel that Kien thinks is very useful in the learning process is the topics in the magazine "Chemistry and Applications", so he often orders this magazine by mail to follow. According to Kien, in this magazine, there are often many good teachers who participate in writing articles and there is a section of exercise questions, both secondary and high school types for me to solve. The next issue will have exercise answers for the previous issue, helping me check the solution, consolidate and enrich my knowledge. In addition, this magazine also has a section on Chemistry and Life, which helps me learn more tips to apply the subject well in daily life.

In addition to his special love for Chemistry, Kien also excels in Math, English and all other subjects. Therefore, he always wins first prize in district and school competitions and is ranked first in the team participating in the provincial Chemistry competition in grade 9, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the exam was postponed.

Ms. Le Thi Thu Huong - Homeroom teacher of class 9B, Ho Xuan Huong Secondary School, Quynh Luu district said: Trung Kien is intelligent, diligent, hard-working and studies with passion.

Kien is truly an exemplary student, mature, brave, has a sense of responsibility to the collective, whatever task is assigned, he completes it excellently, is very loved by friends and teachers.
