Reporter: First of all, on behalf of the Web team,  I would like to congratulate you on getting a very high score in the past National Examination. Can you share your feelings as well as the meaning of this achievement to yourself?

Dai Phong: As regards my feelings when I got my results, it was something of great joy followed by a little nervousness. But perhaps right now I'm only left with joy, because for me, this is the time to relax after a long period of stress and tiredness.

As for the meaning of this achievement, to me, it is the result of 12 years of schooling, an affirmation of the strength and efforts of myself and also a thank-you to all my teachers. They have always stood by me and gave me invaluable pieces of advice, which greatly helped me both in my study and in life.

Reporter: With regards to preparation for this great exam, what do you think is the most important aspect?

Dai Phong: To prepare for this exam, I spent a lot of time accumulating the knowledge and

exercising my mindset when taking exams, but perhaps the most  important factor is my health. Health will bring alertness, agility - crucial factors to achievement in tests, especially to the Multiple Choice exam.

Reporter: Now that you have successfully crossed the finishing line, looking back on the preparation period, what left the biggest impression on you?

Dai Phong: I honestly do not have many unforgettable memories of the preparation process, so I guess what I remember most is probably the enormous encouragement and support I received from my teachers. By the way, I would like to thank the teachers who helped me a lot during my study period: Ms. Ngoc Ha - Manager of Hoa Phat 1 1417, Ms. Tran Thu Huong - 1417 and Ms. Hoa - Head of Mathematics 1417.

With Phong, the dedicated teachers have contributed greatly to his success.

Reporter: Can you share your plans for the future after the exam?

Dai Phong: Currently I am still taking a rest, after which I will continue to make plans for the future.

Reporter: Every new examination season  poses new challenges for candidates, so what advice do you want to give students preparing for the National High School Examination in 2018?

Just try hard, practice hard, keep a strong spirit and a good health. I believe you guys will certainly pass the exam with flying colors!
