Language is a means of communication so each nation has its own language. However some nations have the same language. According to the speakers' use of language, it is called the first, second or foreign language. Among the languages used by most people in the world is English. This does not mean that English is spoken by greater number of speakers than any other languages, for it is easily outnemberred by Chinese in this respect. However, it is the most international of languages because it provides ready access to the world scholarship and world trade. That is the reason why millions of men and women try to master it.
Người phỏng vấn: Chúng tôi đã mời vài bạn học sinh đến từ trường Cây Sồi ở Thung lũng Hạnh Phúc đến tham gia diễn đàn Beyond 2030 và họ sẽ chia sẻ với chúng ta tầm nhìn của các em về tương lai. Em sẽ nói đầu tiên nhé, Phong?
Phong: Em tin rằng sự thay đổi lớn nhất sẽ diễn ra bên trong hệ thống giáo dục. Ngoài trường học, chúng ta cũng sẽ học từ những nơi cho chúng ta kiến thức và kinh nghiệm sống thực tế như nhà ga, công ty hoặc ở một nông trại.
Mai: Mình đồng ý. Việc học có sự áp dụng vào cuộc sống thực tế này sẽ cho chúng ta có thấy mình là người trong cuộc, một cảm giác rằng chúng ta là một phần của quá trình.
Người phỏng vấn: Thế còn vai trò của giáo viên thì sao?
Phong: À, họ sẽ giống người cố vấn hơn là người cung cấp thông tin.
Người phỏng vấn: Hấp dẫn đó. Em nhìn thấy tương lai như thế nào nữa, Nguyên?
Nguyên: À, em nghĩ vai trò của người cha sẽ thay đổi mạnh mẽ.
Người phỏng vấn: Ồ thế ư? Bằng cách nào?
Nguyên: Người cha hiện đại sẽ không cần thiết là trụ cột của gia đình, ông ta có thể là người ra ngoài lao động hoặc có thể ở nhà để chăm sóc con cái.
Người phỏng vấn: Và làm việc nhà?
Nguyên: Vâng, đó cũng là công việc, dù có được trả lương hay không, phải không ạ?
Mai: Chắc chắn rồi. Lợi ích có được là trẻ con sẽ được gặp cha của chúng thường xuyên hơn và có mối quan hệ khăng khít với họ hơn. Mình đã không được gặp cha mình nhiều nhưng mình quý mỗi khoảnh khắc ở bên cạnh ông ấy.
Người phỏng vấn: Được rồi, chúng ta chắc chắn sẽ đi qua vài chủ đề hấp dẫn nữa...
Người phỏng vấn: Chúng tôi đã mời một số học sinh từ Trường Oak Tree ở Happy Valley đến diễn đàn Beyond 2030 này và họ sẽ chia sẻ với chúng tôi tầm nhìn về tương lai. Bạn có muốn đi trước không, Phong?

Mai: Tôi đồng ý. Ứng dụng học tập thực tế này sẽ cho chúng ta cảm giác tham gia, cảm giác rằng chúng ta là một phần của quá trình.
PV: Còn vai trò của giáo viên thì sao?
Phong: Ah, họ sẽ giống như người hướng dẫn hơn là nhà cung cấp thông tin.
Người phỏng vấn: Hấp dẫn. Làm thế nào khác để bạn nhìn thấy tương lai, Nguyễn?
Nguyễn: Chà, tôi nghĩ vai trò của những người cha sẽ thay đổi mạnh mẽ.
Người phỏng vấn: Ồ có? Bằng cách nào?
Nguyễn: Người cha hiện đại sẽ không nhất thiết phải là trụ cột của gia đình. Anh ta có thể làm việc bên ngoài hoặc anh ta có thể ở nhà để chăm sóc con cái.
Người phỏng vấn: Và làm việc nhà?
Nguyễn: Vâng. Đó là công việc, được trả tiền hay không, phải không?
Mai: Hoàn toàn đúng. Lợi ích sẽ là trẻ em sẽ nhìn thấy cha của chúng thường xuyên hơn và có mối quan hệ gần gũi hơn với chúng. Tôi không nhìn thấy bố tôi nhiều, nhưng tôi yêu từng khoảnh khắc tôi dành cho ông.
