I'm a Hanoi lover. I like to sit still and watch the streets of Hanoi and feel the rhythm of life of the people here, so sidewalk Tra Da is my place to visit to experience that sense of peace. Therefore, when the group of 4 of us first met to discuss the topic for assignment 1, the initial thing that came to my mind was the topic of Tra Da and luckily my teammates agreed with that. The purpose of this decision is we need to make people notice a couple of apparently inconsequential subtleties in our stunning city which are conveniently excused in consistently life.

When our team started working, something unexpected happened, which was that a member of our team was unable to continue this course due to family reasons. Therefore, our group has only 3 people left, so it is quite disadvantaged than other groups, and each member must take on the responsibility of the member who quitted. But fortunately, we worked very well together, as evidenced by the script and the role of each person was agreed upon after only 3 meetings on the library. This is the first time i have worked with other students for an practical assignment, i was extremely worried because it was everyone's responsibility to always be at the highest level to bring the best benefit to the group. But I have to thank this opportunity for helping me know more about how to record and edit a podcast so that it can become a complete product.

At the week 4 where lecturer Linda showed the group's draft podcast to the class, our group was glad that she commented that our podcast was better than other groups and she is keen on our topic. I found that our team's efforts eventually paid off with a very perfect draft, but on the contrary, because the draft was so good, we just tweaked a little and submitted it as a final product. Besides, we forgot that the criteria for teamwork grading are that each member's role must be equal so we lost that point because Hieu's role somewhat overshadowed me and Hong Anh. I feel sorry that the cohesion of our teamwork has not been clear in the final product, i and my team will try to improve that if we have a second chance.
Thanks to the 'Making Media ' courses, we had a chance to meet lecturer Linda, who poured her heart and soul into her teaching. She has taught us a lot of skills so that we can make a real media product. It may sound simple but piece by piece, we can choose many directions to develop our career in the future.
