My name is Pham Dao Ngoc Ngan, and I am currently majoring in English Studies at Can Tho University. I have been studying English for nearly 18 years. In the past, I participated in the English Proficiency Contest for Excellent Students. At present, I am preparing to register for the VSTEP Level C1 examination. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in teaching English and participate in the English Club to enhance my language skills. I also take part in various activities organized by the Youth Union and Student Association, including volunteering and cultural events. Moreover, I have conducted scientific research in the field of translation, focusing on the influence of the mother tongue on learners’ translation styles, which has given me a deep understanding of translation theory and practice. Currently, I am involved in TED translation projects, which provide me with an opportunity to contribute my knowledge and further develop my skills in the field of translation.

At the present, I love to become a translator, an English teacher and an English language editor. Besides, I adore singing and acting, specifically play as a sad ,malicious or even active character.

Personally, I believe that young people, especially students, should increase their learning motivation during their first year of study, as it helps them gain a deeper understanding of their major compared to others. I hope this idea can be considered as a topic for discussion on TED.

My name is Ngan, and I am currently studying English Studies. I want to become a member of TED because I believe sharing personal experiences can inspire and help others. When I started my first year at university, I thought it would be the easiest year, so I focused mainly on developing life skills and did not pay enough attention to my studies. However, when I entered my second year and began to study my major more seriously, I realized that I had fallen behind and it was difficult to catch up. From this experience, I learned the importance of balancing both personal development and academic commitment from the very beginning. I want to share my story to encourage other students, especially freshmen, to stay motivated and work hard in their studies right from the start. By doing this, they can build a strong foundation for their future success. I believe that this message fits well with TED’s mission of spreading ideas that matter, and I hope to contribute by sharing meaningful stories like mine. Joining TED will give me the opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about learning and growth.
