Two Thanh Chuong male students both got 10 points in History
(Baonghean.vn) - In the recent high school graduation exam, two students, Pham Van Duc and Nguyen Van Cuong, class 12C, Dang Thuc Hua High School, both achieved excellent scores. They are also two of the outstanding Catholic students in Thanh Chuong district.
Changed block but still "top" study
With a total score of 28.75 (Literature 9.5 points, History 10 points and Geography 9.25 points), Pham Van Duc is one of the two students with the highest admission score for block C in the school, and is also among the candidates with the highest score for this block in Thanh Chuong district.
Knowing his exam score shortly after arriving in Hanoi to apply for a job as a worker for a company, both to earn extra income and to gain experience, and to better understand the value of the money he earned with sweat and tears, Duc shared that he was quite satisfied with his score, but still felt a little regretful for getting two easy questions wrong in the Geography exam.

Since the day he knew his exam results, Duc was very excited, and many days he came home late from work without feeling tired. Duc shared: In grade 10, I studied in the Math - Physics - Chemistry specialized class. In grade 11, I liked the C block and switched to the Literature - History - Geography class. At first, I was weakest in History, sometimes I couldn't even get 5 points on the test, but thanks to my efforts, I studied all subjects equally. By grade 12, I was at the top of the class in the midterm and semester exams for these subjects.
Despite transferring grades, Duc is a good student, his academic results and high school graduation exam results make teachers and friends admire him. It is known that Duc won second prize in the provincial excellent student category in Civic Education in grade 12.
According to Duc, “social subjects are not that difficult, the important thing is to know how to study”. Duc’s experience in studying block C effectively is to listen carefully to the teacher in class, grasp the lesson, and go home to Facebook, Tiktok or other websites to learn more. In addition, it is necessary to regularly exchange with friends to gain experience and acquire more new knowledge.

Duc is the fifth child in a large farming family. His parents do not demand much from their children in terms of studying, so he decides how to study, what school to choose, and what major to pursue. With high exam scores, Duc decided to enroll in the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, majoring in Tourism and Travel Management, and was encouraged and supported by his family.
In addition to studying, Duc also possesses many talents, especially his attractive singing voice. During his high school years, he was an artist of the class and school, making many contributions to external activities.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam - Duc's homeroom teacher shared: Duc is a gentle, cheerful, sociable student and is loved by friends and teachers. Although he entered class C one year after his classmates, he studied as well as anyone else, and the achievements Duc has achieved are well-deserved."
"Bookworm" with the dream of becoming a teacher
Also achieving an impressive score of 28.75 (Literature 9.25 points, History 10 points and Geography 9.5 points) like his close friend Pham Van Duc, Nguyen Van Cuong shared that his score was equal to what he expected, only regretting a little bit in Literature because he did not complete the test as he wanted.

It is known that Cuong is a famous excellent student. During his junior high school years, he won the title of Excellent Student of the District in 2 subjects: Literature and History, and the Third Prize in Excellent Student of Literature at the provincial level. In grade 12, Cuong won 2 First Prizes in Literature and Geography, and the Second Prize in History at the provincial level. Therefore, Cuong's high score in the high school graduation exam did not surprise teachers and students in the school.
Sharing his learning method, Cuong said: “My learning method is to learn less and understand more. If you want to remember something, you must first understand its essence. I ask myself why; read more documents to supplement and improve my knowledge.”
Besides studying at school, Cuong always considers the internet an effective learning channel. Cuong believes: "Teachers are guides, success or failure is up to you."

Cuong once dreamed of becoming a teacher to continue the dreams of children, especially poor children. Now with high scores, he still "consistently" chooses the teaching profession and will register for the Literature Pedagogy major.
Interesting commonalities
Duc and Cuong are two students who have many things in common. They live in the same Thanh Khe commune, are classmates, sit at the same desk, have beautiful handwriting, and are good at studying. In particular, as mentioned, in the recent graduation exam, both of them had the same admission score for group C and the same score of 10 in History.

Talking about his students, Mr. Thu - a History teacher said: As a direct teacher, I am extremely excited when the students achieved many 10s in History, including Cuong and Duc. During their studies, Cuong and Duc were two students who lived closely and affectionately with their teachers, were willing to help their friends in their studies, and both were always at the top of their class and school in the exams to select gifted students. In general, both of them studied well in social sciences: good and profound in Literature; intelligent, sensitive and sharp in History, Geography... I hope that the two of them will fly far and high to make their dreams come true.
