1.1 The reason for choosing topics
In order to catch up with the trend of global integration, Vietnam's education sector isincreasingly integrated with the world Understanding the importance of modern education isthe training of people who can keep up with the trend of global integration Foreignlanguages in general, English in particular is a powerful tool for the integration process.Many foreign companies have invested in Vietnam, the number of foreigners to travel, work
in our country more and more In addition, the number of Vietnamese students studyingabroad has also increased significantly, and according to a recent statistic it has been statedthat Vietnamese students are no less important than students from other countries Getknowledge, scientific research, the order of study However, the majority of Vietnamesestudents face many difficulties in studying and living abroad because foreign language,especially English, is very limited But how to prepare good knowledge of foreignlanguages, perhaps most students have to prepare English since elementary school

be able to use them to develop good English communication skills in future levels In recentyears, some schools have also used many sets of English books by the Ministry of Educationand Training, Singapore Publishing House, Oxford University to suit the economicpotential of each region and medium Matching the level of acceptance of the child
The communication of children in rural areas is still limited Copper Along with changingthe curriculum and teaching and learning methods, I found that the restriction ofcommunication in rural areas was due to the low level of communication in English that theycould not remember the word Communicating in English requires students to practicevocabulary and vocabulary in the same way that they practice For elementary students, thecontent is not that great, but they require a certain amount of vocabulary to practice andparticipate in some games Elementary English is still a subject of electives, so some parentsand students do not care about their children's lack of vocabulary and memory Because of
Trang 2that, it has caused me to find a way to help children learn the word, remembered for a long
