October highlights at UEH English Zone

Last October, the UEH English Park became an interesting destination for UEH students of all levels and systems—a place where they can relax and practice their English skills after intense study hours. With a variety of diverse and creative activities, UEH English Zone has created a lively atmosphere, helping students comfortably practice English to share and learn from each other. Let’s look back at the memorable moments of this October and continue to accompany the English Park in the upcoming activities! EZ starts October off with the flavor of coffee Kicking off October for UEH English Zone is the EZ Talks event themed Coffegan, inspired by International Coffee Day (October 1st). “Coffegan” is a combination of Coffee and Vegan – for coffee lovers and those who choose vegan options. The commonality between coffee and veganism is that both do not stop at food and beverages; in Vietnam, they are also a way of life. At this EZ Talks session, you will share your insights about coffee, your experiences with vegetarianism, and the meaning behind these everyday foods and beverages. Sharing the same idea The Student Union – Student Association of the Faculty of Foreign Languages (SFL) organized the ECOFF “International Coffee Day” event to explore coffee culture and the interesting stories surrounding this beloved beverage. Join the program, where you can savor cups of coffee while discussing modern coffee trends, including the combination of coffee with unique and creative ingredients. “She” – The beautiful half of the world In order to convey love and affection to Vietnamese women on this special day, the Speaking Group Extended: Generation event by the BELL English Club and the EZ Talks – DIY Crafting Queens activity provided an opportunity for participants to personally write cards to send encouraging messages to the women they love, through beautiful flower baskets and cards, gifts made by themselves at the English Zone.

Alongside the EZ Talks: Euphoria to share students’ thoughts on what constitutes true happiness in today’s fast-paced world. The students emphasized that happiness is not just a destination but a continuous process involving self-discovery and growth. The discussion also addressed common misconceptions about happiness, such as the belief that happiness is only related to grades or academic success. Wrapping up October, the English club organized a unique event called EZ Talks: EZ say hi, where a large number of eager students gathered to discuss the topic of music and idols, a universal theme to make friends while improving their English skills. The new arrival of new Boardgames EZ Board Game has always been an activity that attracts a large number of UEH students. In October, EZ launched a new board game called “Cover Your Assets” which requires players to use skill and strategy to accumulate wealth and protect it from opponents who want to steal it. Which student will best demonstrate their “economic” prowess to build wealth and become a millionaire the fastest? Besides Cover your Assets, national board games like Taboo, Mondrawsity, Secret H, etc., also do not fall behind and still attract the participation of many UEH students. Not only entertaining, board games are games for you to practice strategic thinking and communication skills. EZ Talks and Boardgames help participants share humorous stories and personal experiences during the game, thereby improving their English communication skills. The cheerful and interactive atmosphere made the game more memorable than ever.

Transform your writing: Simple techniques for instant improvement

With guest speaker – Mr. Clay Wilkins shared, “My students often struggle with two main issues in English: coherence and the ability to present ideas in a diverse and engaging manner.” To address these challenges, he frequently recommends leveraging the power of ‘adverbs’ and ‘conjunctions’ as keys to unlocking language in a more efficient and effective way. This was also the central theme of the recent language workshop: Transform your writing: Simple techniques for instant improvement, organized by UEH English Zone and featuring a presentation by Mr. Clay Wilkins. “Adverbs in a sentence do more than just a cherry on top; they bring sentences to life, making them more engaging and insightful. By clarifying the meaning, they help readers to develop a deeper understanding of the actions and events being described. Consequently, they significantly enhance the overall quality of writing. However, many learners avoid using adverbials due to their perceived complexity. “I dislike how they complicate language, especially English,” shared Mr.Clay. “Complexity breeds fear and makes language learning tedious.” Therefore, his teaching methods are designed to be simple, understandable, and enjoyable while remaining effective. Through visual examples and straightforward categorization, the speaker helped students grasp the importance of adverbials and how to use them appropriately.” The speaker shares how to classify and use adverbs In addition to enhancing sentence quality through the use of adverbs, Mr. Clay Wilkins shared insights on conjunctions to help students overcome coherence issues in their English writing. Using the familiar ‘FANBOYS’ method, with a fresh and engaging approach, Mr. Wilkins enabled students to improve the coherence of their writing, particularly through the highly engaging on-the-spot practice activities he provided. FANBOYS method of memorizing conjunctions Additionally, the language workshop provides students with an opportunity to express their challenges in English language learning and receive valuable advice from their instructors to overcome common difficulties. To conclude the workshop, a short game was organized to help students practice the vocabulary and linking words discussed during the session. Students exchange questions with the speaker The workshop was a great success, attracting significant interest from the UEH community of language enthusiasts. The two-hour session was filled with a lively atmosphere, a strong learning spirit, and active participation. As part of the UEH English Zone project, the language workshop is a monthly event with various practical themes to gradually increase students’ and staff members’ interest in learning English, fostering habits, and stimulating their intrinsic motivation.

Are You Ready for Dopamine Fasting?

After spending over 180 minutes scrolling through TikTok, you put your phone down and feel an overwhelming sense of emptiness. The faster you scroll and the more you watch, the less satisfaction you derive. Activities that once brought you joy now seem insufficient. If you see yourself in this scenario, you may be experiencing “dopamine overload” – a dependence on the happiness hormone that drives you to repeat tasks and actions until you feel exhausted and completely disoriented. The Dopamine Dose: Is More Always Better? Dopamine, often referred to as the happiness hormone, is a neurotransmitter produced from tyrosine that plays a critical role in the brain and body. It is fundamentally tied to survival instincts, influencing daily behaviors and physical activities. Broadly speaking, dopamine is involved in creating motivation, learning, and pleasure within our bodily systems. Dopamine is associated with euphoria and bliss (Source: University Health News) However, in today’s world, we are surrounded by numerous forms of stimuli, ranging from social media, and sweets to caffeine and cigarettes. If a single cup of coffee used to be enough to keep you alert throughout an all-nighter, now it feels like no amount is sufficient to ward off drowsiness. Many of the things we once enjoyed and consumed regularly now require larger quantities or more frequent use to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction that we experienced in the past. What’s more concerning is that, as a study from PubMed Central suggests, negative stimuli tend to trigger a greater release of dopamine in the brain, making these unhealthy behaviors more enticing than healthier options. When left unchecked, we may unconsciously engage in these activities at increasingly higher intensities, leading to compulsive and impulsive behavior patterns that can be difficult to break. Source: City Village News The initial goal behind dopamine fasting was to offer a foundational reason and suggestion for escaping the frenzy of technology-driven days, replacing them with simpler activities that help us reconnect with ourselves and others. While this idea is sound and reasonable, it is neither new nor groundbreaking. In fact, the concept closely resembles mindfulness practices and strategies for improving sleep quality, such as avoiding screens with blue light before bed. The detox period typically lasts around 90 days. However, there is no fixed duration for everyone, as it must be adjusted based on the individual’s brain reward system. According to PsychCentral, here are four ways you can slow down and rediscover happiness: Set Boundaries: Use reminders to manage social media usage or create a monthly savings account to help manage personal spending.Journal Your Emotions: Recording daily thoughts and habits can help you better understand the root cause behind your addiction to strong stimuli, allowing for a more effective resolution rather than sinking deeper into those habits.Start a Replacement Habit: Music and physical activity are popular alternatives as they are easy to implement and provide long-lasting positive energy. Instead of spending an entire Saturday scrolling through your phone, consider signing up for a gym membership, listening to a favorite playlist, or attending a workshop. Repeating these activities over time will help you forget and eventually “quit” the hardcore sensations of the past.Encourage Those Around You to Join in: We are often influenced by person-to-person interactions, which help shape and refine our mindset. Spending time with friends who practice healthy habits can help you learn valuable lessons and compensate for your own shortcomings. These activities demonstrate the “power” of milder stimuli: they promote mental health, strengthen physical well-being, improve emotional control, and enhance work efficiency. Conclusion Being “addicted to stimulation” is a natural instinct, but recognizing and cultivating self-restraint is what we must learn, reflecting cognitive growth and inner values. Learning to appreciate even the smallest things in life is the most sustainable path to the future, guiding us toward a more fulfilled version of ourselves.
