Having a history of making impressions by his English teaching parody videos, the 9x teacher Nguyen Thai Duong came present at UEF and inspired the students. “To do amazing things, you all should be courageous to get out of your comfort zones” was the message the teacher delivered. According to Mr Nguyen Thai Duong, similar to English learning and foreign language learning, just be confident, don’t be afraid of saying anything wrong, don’t be shy showing off yourselves in front of the crowd. That would help you practice both of your communication skills and English competence.
The popular teacher Nguyen Thai Duong advised the students against their “comfort zones”.

The speaker, then, went on to share more about experience on English interpreting and translating, which was considerably useful for foreign language-majored students who chose to pursue the path of translating – interpreting at UEF. The overall picture about job opportunities got sketched on a more visible level. Hence, they, the students, were able to choose the path they wished to pursue in the near future with confidence.
