Nghe An: Two pairs of twins both passed the university entrance exam

Happy to fulfill father's wish

In recent days, when her two children received university admission notices, joy spread throughout the family of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Huong in Hamlet 1, Hanh Lam Commune. Phan Dinh Thanh and Phan Dinh Vinh - the youngest sons of the couple - were admitted to the University of Science and Technology and Hanoi Medical University.

Thanh and Vinh were born on May 4, 2000. The two brothers look quite similar, and people who first meet them can easily recognize Thanh thanks to the dimples on their faces. Regarding the names of their children, Ms. Huong - their mother said: Because the two children were born in Vinh City, the family named them Thanh - Vinh as a souvenir.

In primary school, the two brothers studied in the same class, in secondary school, Thanh studied at Ton Quang Phiet Secondary School, and Vinh studied at the town secondary school, in high school, they studied in the same school again, Thanh studied in class 12A, and Vinh studied in class 12B, Thanh Chuong 1 High School.

The common traits of the two brothers are their passion for sports, their gentleness, their diligence, and their excellent students throughout their high school years. They left home in the third grade to study in the city, so they had an independent spirit early on. In natural sciences, Thanh studied Physics more "hardly" and was an excellent student in this subject in the province in the ninth grade, while Vinh studied Chemistry more firmly.

Sharing his joy before the day of departure, Phan Dinh Vinh said: “I feel very happy because I have fulfilled my father’s wish of being admitted to the University of Medicine to become a doctor to save people. This time, both of us passed the university entrance exam, which makes me even happier.”

Talking about her children, Mrs. Huong - the mother of the two children could not hide her excitement: "When we received the acceptance letters from the schools, the whole family hugged each other because we were so happy."

Both are good at Math, both passed the entrance exam to University of Science and Technology

Sharing the same joy, in block 8 of Dung town, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hien's family also has 2 twin children who passed the entrance exam to Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, they are Trinh Viet Tuan and Trinh Viet Tu, born on November 11, 2000.

The two brothers Tuan - Tu are the youngest in a family of 3 sisters, their mother is a primary school teacher, their father is a driver. Like the two brothers Thanh - Vinh, the brothers Tuan - Tu are also quite similar in appearance, making it difficult for people who first meet them to distinguish which is Tuan and which is Tu.

From grade 1 to grade 9, Tuan and Tu studied in the same class. In high school, Tuan studied in grade 12A, and Tu studied in grade 12B, Thanh Chuong 1 High School.

The similarity between the two brothers Tuan and Tu is that during their studies, they both loved and studied Math well. The similar achievements of the two brothers Tuan and Tu in secondary school were that they both achieved the title of excellent Math students in grades 7 and 8. Because they studied in the same block and took the entrance exam to the same school, the two brothers, in addition to studying in class, often actively exchanged lessons with each other at home, striving together to achieve their dream of becoming electrical and electronic engineers.

In the recent national high school exam, Tuan's total score for group A was 22 points (Math: 8; Physics: 6.5; Chemistry: 7.5), Tu's total score for group A was 21.75 points (Math: 7; Physics: 7.75; Chemistry: 7). With this score, Tuan was admitted to the Faculty of Electrical - Electronics, Automation major, and Tu was admitted to the Faculty of Electromechanics - Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology.

Like the five sisters Thanh - Vinh, the three sisters Tuan - Tu also went to university one after another, continuing the family tradition of studiousness. Before that, their older sister graduated from the Faculty of Finance and Banking, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry.

The two brothers Tuan and Tu have been in school for a few days now. From Ho Chi Minh City, new student Trinh Viet Tu shared: "I feel very happy that we both passed the university entrance exam, and passed the same university. We are staying in the dormitory and continue to live in the same room. When we first arrived here, many people recognized us as twins."

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien - mother of the two children said: "Over the past years, the children have made great efforts to excel in their studies with a spirit of self-discipline and diligence. Now the family is even more excited when both children passed the university entrance exam as expected. Hopefully, the children will try to study and practice well in the new environment."

Continuing the story of three triplets who all passed the entrance exam to the same university, two pairs of twins Thanh - Vinh and Tuan - Tu are also contributing to writing the interesting story about the tradition of studiousness in the "Nhut land".
