I’d like to talk about a TV show that I recently watched and really enjoyed, called Art
Attack.
It’s actually a classic art and craft program that focuses on handmade creations and creative
techniques. The show features a host who demonstrates how to make different types of artwork
using simple materials like paper, glue, cardboard, and sometimes even random household
objects. One thing that makes the show unique is the “big art attacks”, where the host creates
huge paintings or designs using everyday items—like clothes, plates, or even rubbish—viewed
from above so they form a giant picture. It’s really impressive and fun to watch.

I usually watch it on Sunday mornings, around 7 a.m., so I actually need to wake up quite
early. Even though it’s the weekend, I don’t mind getting up because the show always puts me in
a good mood and gives me a sense of creativity to start the day.

Most of the time, I watch it alone. I find it quite relaxing to enjoy it by myself because it feels
like having a private art lesson where I can focus and follow along at my own pace.

I enjoyed it for several reasons.

Firstly, the show is very inspiring. Even though the crafts look complicated at first, the host
always explains each step clearly, which makes me feel like I can actually recreate the artwork.
Secondly, it sparks my creativity. After watching an episode, I often feel motivated to try making
something on my own. And lastly, it brings back childhood memories because I used to watch
similar craft shows when I was younger, so it gives me a nice sense of nostalgia.

Overall, Art Attack is a simple yet inspiring show, and it really helps me relax while also
encouraging me to be creative.

holiday, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever had.

During our stay, we did a lot of activities. We spent the first day relaxing on Mỹ Khê Beach,
which is famous for its clear blue water and soft white sand. The atmosphere there was
incredibly peaceful, and the sea breeze made me feel refreshed immediately. We also visited Bà
Nà Hills, where we explored the French Village and walked across the Golden Bridge—the one
held up by giant stone hands. The scenery was breathtaking, and the weather was cool, almost
like being in another country. In the evenings, we wandered around the Hàn River, watched the
Dragon Bridge show, and enjoyed local seafood dishes.

Firstly, Đà Nẵng has a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern lifestyle. Everything—
from the beaches to the mountains—felt clean, organized, and welcoming. Secondly, spending
time with my family made the experience even more meaningful. We don’t often travel together
because of our busy schedules, so this trip allowed us to reconnect and create special memories.
