Ngoc Thuy shared: The two sisters did not take extra classes but only participated in review classes at school and studied at home. At the beginning of the school year, the two sisters bought a History and Geography course online for more than 300,000 VND to study and practice for exams.

I was lucky to study History with good teachers, so I realized that History is very useful for life. Thanks to studying History, we have a more thorough understanding of society. The secret to studying History is to systematize issues and events in chronological order, and at the same time understand the nature of each issue: Why did those events happen... then we will remember the events longer.
Ms. Ngo Thi Chau, the mother of the two children, shared: When I came back from the exam, I saw that the two sisters were very happy and said they did well on the test. When the results were out, the whole family was extremely happy. This result has created great motivation for the parents to try to raise their children to study properly.

Another thing that makes the two sisters' achievements remarkable is their passion for reading. Many genres of literature, history, and geography books are collected and bought with their pocket money, thus providing a good support for their studies, especially in Literature and History. In the 2017-2018 school year, Ngoc Thuy won second prize and Ngoc Thanh won third prize in History in the Provincial Excellent Student Competition.
Teacher Hoang Thi Hiep, the History teacher of the two students, shared: In addition to imparting knowledge, I have to "pass on" my passion to my students and let them be more confident in themselves, I have to know their abilities and from there build a suitable review outline. I also advise them, before taking the exam, not to worry, not to be "afraid" of being a student of a district school, but to be confident and focus on their exam. Also because of practicing the questions carefully, when entering the National High School Exam, they are not overwhelmed and do the test confidently.
With this score, Chu Thi Ngoc Thanh plans to apply for her first choice at the Faculty of Public Relations, Chu Thi Ngoc Thuy applies for admission to the Faculty of International Studies, Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
Thanh and Thuy both study social subjects, especially history. They have a special passion for this subject. They have a high spirit of self-study and research. This result is a worthy reward for the efforts of Thanh and Thuy in studying and constantly overcoming difficulties.
