Your attitude toward vietnamese movies
In yesterday morning , when I went to school my girl friends run to me, she was very happy and she told me anything about “ Anh se tro ve “ moies. Suddenly she talked low voice and she cried, I were very surprise and I were inquisitive about “ I come to me” movies that is sad love story and yesterday evening I came to cinema with my girl friends. In this morning, I go to school I tell anything with my friends about the movies I watched yesterday and they are very interesting the movies. I do think that Vietnamese films recent is more attractive than Vietnamese films in 90s century. It is three characteristics, it is increasing very fast about type, tenor, styles, etc … It have new tenor and new styles accord Vietnamese people. However, it is quite hot scene and many case actress and actor
First of all Vietnamese films is increasing very fast about type, tenor, styles and have large fans. I am remember that in 90s Vietnamese films is very unattractive, it usually one or two tenor and I can think scene at the end of the films. In 90s Korean films always have large fans is Vietnamese people and Vietnamese films is watched by old people, it is not accord young people. According to Vnexpress.net in 90s , 85% young people don’t watch and 12% old people feel unattractive. Nowadays, Vietnamese films have large fans after 2005 when Vietnamese have award in Cans
Second of all Vietnamese films have new tenor and new styles accord Vietnamese people. When I studied in high school I usually came to home early because I watch “ nhat ki vang anh “ movies, I think that it is accorded youth. It have serial film and one film is 10 minute, it is quite short but it is very attractive. I do think that the new film not only new style but also it is new tenor .According to Dienanhvietnam.vn the new Vietnamese film will have been gone to Vietkieu, for example “ Mua Oi” or “ Mua len trau” had award in Asia-Pacific Film Festival and it have been interested oversea.
Finally it is quite hot scene. Many new films is famous because the director use marketing for the films and one of them is post the picture and clip *** of actor and actress, it can be bring this films big fans. I do think that it is very dangerous because it is effected to the youth people and the films is not tenor.
There can be no doubt that the Vietnamese films is developing very fast about type and tenor. In near future the Vietnamese films is premiered in oversea and it will be bring character of Vietnamese people. I hope that the Vietnamese films is one of the entertainment

Your attitude towards inflation in Viet Nam:
Trần Công Hùng E43:

Inflation is one of the most important issues in economics. Inflation's effects on an economy are various and can be simultaneously Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} [FONT=&quot]positive and negative[/FONT]. Negative effects of inflation distorts the operation of the price mechanism and can result in an inefficient allocation of resources. When inflation is volatile, consumers and firms are unlikely to have sufficient information on relative price levels to make informed choices about which products *****pply and purchase. Therefore, rising inflation has become a key policy concern for governments around Asia but consumer prices in Vietnam have risen faster than in neighboring countries. About this matter, from my own attitude. I will list out several factors that reveal Viet Nam’s inflation. These factors include status, caution, solution of Viet Nam’s inflation.
First of all, Viet Nam’s inflation status is increasing to alarm level . For example, In February authorities increased petrol prices by 18 percent while electricity prices rose 15 per cent on March 1. After the Ministry of Finance's decision on March 29 to raise retail fuel prices by VND2,000-2,800 a liter. Hence, Viet Nam's consumer price index (CPI) in March is estimated to increase by 2.41 percent over last month and 13.56 percent compared to the same period last year, the General Statistics Office (GSO) said. This is the sharpest rise of Viet Nam 's CPI since February 2010 when the figure stood at 2.61 percent. All 11 product categories registered price increases with five of them rising over 1 percent. The biggest price hikes in the month were seen in transportation services with 7.41 percent, following by housing, electricity, water, fuel and building materials with 3.19 percent, food and restaurant services with 2.79 percent. According to economic analysts, the high CPI this month will create pressure on the country's economy as well as the target of curbing the annual inflation rate at 7 percent.
One way is to explain this status. According to a Bloomberg article , there are three reasons made it. First, Viet Nam’s inflation is caused by money supply growing faster than the rate of economic growth. This happens when there is too much liqui***y , which is excess dollars or cre***. In 2009, a large amount of foreign currency have invested in our country to increase more 30 percent of amount of money in exchange circulations. In ad***ion, Viet Nam ’s inflation also called "supply shock inflation," is caused by a drop in aggregate supply (potential output). This may be due to increased prices of inputs. For example, a sudden decrease in the supply of oil, leading to increased oil prices in Viet Nam, can cause cost-push inflation. Producers for whom oil is a part of their costs could then pass this on to consumers in the form of increased prices. Besides, Viet Nam’s inflation is a result of overheated economic growth . Inflation is caused by increases in aggregate demand due to increased private and government spending, etc. Demand inflation is constructive to a faster rate of economic growth since the excess demand and favorable market con***ions will stimulate investment and expansion.
Finally, Some solutions solve for problem of inflation. Today the primary tool for controlling inflation is monetary policy. Most central banks are tasked with keeping the federal funds lending rate at a low level. According to the International Monetary Fund, The currency's depreciation is playing a “significant role” in the acceleration of inflation. As a result, The Viet Nam government in late February announced a solution package which focuses on tightening the monetary policies, reducing budget overspending, reducing trade deficits, strengthening production and marching towards the market price mechanism. Commenting about the solution package, Mr Guzmanb of Moody's also thinks that the government is going the right way, especially when high inflation is an obvious danger for Asian countries, including Vietnam.
In conclusion, We can easily see from few examples about Viet Nam’s inflation status. We hope that Vietnam government has timely given the overall policies to tame inflation and stabilize the economy .Vietnam's economy will be recovered.
