(HBO) – In the recent national high school graduation exam, Tran Duy Linh from the Lac Son High School is one of the province’s two students getting two 10 marks in biology and chemistry. However, few people know that he gained the achievements thanks to learning from his friends, teachers and the internet.


Tran Duy Linh’s study corner has only reference books and a computer

Several days after the results were announced, we came to Lac Son district to see Linh. He is thin and tall. Being humble, he did not want to boast his academic achievements. His father, Le Duy Tien, attributed his outcomes mainly to his self-study.

I and my wife could not teach him at home since he was at the secondary school, Tien said, adding that because we were busy and the educational programmes these days are different from our times. Therefore, we can only encourage him and support his study in term of time and finance. Besides his teachers, some relatives who are teachers also helped Linh in his study. All the study and career choosing were decided by himself.

Sharing his study experience, Linh said "each person has his/her own secrets. I listen carefully to my teachers at school, and ensure that I understand well all the knowledge I have been taught. Besides, most of the time, I study myself. I have always stayed patient and tried my best in my study. I got the best learning methods from reference books and the internet”. 

At the secondary school, Linh started joining online lessons, courses and groups, such as Moon, Qstar, or facebook.

Mai Kim Phuong, a math teacher from the Lac Son High School, said Linh is one of the two most outstanding students at the school, especially in math and other natural science subjects. He was said to be a serious, fast-learning, hard-working, and independent student. He also received help from his friends and teachers. I am not surprised with his achievements.

Talking about his future plans, Linh said "I have been admitted to the Hanoi Medical University. I want to be a doctor to help many people”./.
