The 6-page A4 essay in Russian about the book “Putin’s Courage” by Vu Dinh Hung, a student of the Russian specialized class 12C6 at Phan Boi Chau High School, won the Impressive Essay award from the organizing committee.
In the essay, Hung expressed his views and thoughts on the book “Putin’s Courage” as well as its impact on himself. The essay mentioned that Putin was a naughty child when he was young, but thanks to his living and studying environment and his “guides”, he changed and successfully became the President of Russia.
For Hung himself, the book about his childhood and the stories about President Putin have guided him and helped him grow up. The phrase “Everything may never be okay. But we still have to try for it” has guided his thoughts and motivated him to strive to improve.
Hung's essay, along with 32 other essays selected from 150, made it to the final round. After a 5-minute presentation in Russian before the jury at the Pushkin Institute in Hanoi, Hung left a strong impression on the jury with his content and presentation. The jury decided to award Hung the Impressive Essay Prize at the award ceremony on November 11.
Having always loved Russian, the award from the contest "My favorite book" was even more of a motivation for Hung to be passionate about this language.
Sharing about learning Russian, Hung said that this is an interesting language but also has many difficulties as the grammar, phonetics, and Russian way of speaking are quite difficult. However, this makes Hung even more determined to conquer the foreign language of the land of the White Birch. In the near future, Hung plans to take the entrance exam to the Russian language department of Hanoi University or Foreign Trade University and try to improve his Russian to get a scholarship.
