Nam Sach female student won the national prize of UPU letter writing competition twice

In 8th grade, with the theme of writing a letter to an influential person to explain why and how they should act on the climate crisis, Phuong Trang won the consolation prize. That was a stepping stone for Trang to continue to try to develop her letter writing skills, sending messages about climate change to win second prize in this year's contest.

Trang is an all-round excellent student, studying all subjects equally. She used to be on the literature team and is currently a student on the English team participating in the provincial excellent student competition.

Active and enthusiastic in the work of the Youth Union and the Young Pioneers, Trang is also the Secretary of the Youth Union of class 10B, a member of the Executive Committee of the Youth Union of Nam Sach High School. She always balances her studies and participation in activities and movements in class and at school. It is her constant efforts that have helped Trang to be an excellent student for 9 consecutive years, always in the top of the school.

Phuong Trang has won many awards such as the first prize in the Provincial Bright Eyes Competition, the National Encouragement Prize in the Internet English Competition, and the Future Young Leader Award of Hai Duong Province. She was also an exemplary Team Leader for all 4 years of middle school and excellently received the Kim Dong Award from the Central Council of Young Pioneers.

The day she received the results of the UPU Letter Writing Competition coincided with Trang's birthday, so this award was a special gift for her 16th birthday. Phuong Trang considered it a great motivation for her to continue trying in the next journey to conquer the peaks of knowledge and many other competitions.

Sharing about the process of writing this letter, Trang said that teacher Tran Thi Lanh guided her to analyze the topic, determine the direction, form ideas, transform into someone and write to someone. The teacher advised her to consider this as a literature topic that needed to be conquered.

"When I read this year's theme, I thought about life. Climate change is affecting the lives of all humanity. The lives of future generations will suffer the consequences of our actions today towards the environment," Phuong Trang said.

Therefore, I transformed into the Director General of the Universal Postal Union Masahiko Metoki to send future generations profound messages about the world postal service's dedication to humanity, about the dangers of climate change that our green planet has faced, is facing, and will face, along with a call for everyone to join hands to protect the earth and protect our lives.

The letter was written in a friendly and honest manner, without using fancy or flowery words. The teacher also respected my writing style, so the letter did not need much editing.

Teacher Tran Thi Lanh said that Trang is an excellent student with quick thinking and won the national consolation prize in the 2022 UPU International Letter Writing Competition, so she has certain experience to improve the quality of this letter without spending much time. This result is a source of encouragement for the creative efforts and cooperation of her and her students.

In addition to Phuong Trang’s second prize, Nam Sach High School also had 3 students win national consolation prizes in the 53rd UPU International Letter Writing Competition; the school won second prize. On May 17, Trang, her friends and teachers are expected to attend the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the competition in Ninh Binh province.
