II. Persuasive Essay to the Festival Organizing Committee or Heritage Management Board on Accepting My Desire
Dear Heritage Management Board of Bo Da Pagoda!
I am Dang Thuy An, a 10th-grade student at Viet Yen High School No. 2.
Last week, I accompanied my mother to offer prayers at Bo Da Pagoda. While there, I came across an announcement from the Heritage Management Board about recruiting volunteers to introduce the historical site to visitors. Therefore, today, I write this essay with the desire to become a member of the volunteer team.
After carefully reading the criteria set by the management board, I feel that I can fully meet those requirements. I believe that my abilities and strengths will help me successfully complete any assigned tasks.
Firstly, I have a deep passion and immense interest in our cultural and historical values. I regularly read and explore the architecture and art of different feudal periods in our country. Consequently, I have accumulated a considerable amount of knowledge. I can easily identify the architectural style of a particular dynasty and highlight its distinctive features. I hope to contribute a small part to promoting the historical site to everyone.
In my work, I acknowledge that I am a responsible individual. When given a task, I make every effort to excel. I always create detailed and clear plans. Consequently, every step is carefully and meticulously considered. During the execution of tasks, I remain highly focused and attentive. Most importantly, I never try to blame others or find excuses for my mistakes.
In addition, I possess effective communication skills. I have served as an MC for several school events, gaining valuable experience in addressing audiences. To avoid making listeners or viewers feel bored, I have devised methods to capture attention. My friendly and sociable personality also makes me more endearing to people.
If chosen as a volunteer, I will strive to contribute wholeheartedly. I can create promotional content to spread awareness about the historical site to people far and wide. I will generate ideas and find ways to convey information in an engaging and interesting manner. Furthermore, when the Management Board organizes hands-on learning activities for visitors, I will actively participate.
Currently, I am fully prepared for a new position and responsibilities. If selected, I commit to fulfilling the requirements set by the Management Board. In case of any violations, I will self-reflect and accept criticism.
I hope to make a small contribution to the development of the local community. I aspire to spread the beautiful cultural values of our country. These aspirations serve as the driving force behind my essay.
I hope to receive feedback soon from the Heritage Management Board.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration!

II. Persuasive Essay about Myself for Securing a Scholarship to Study Abroad
To the Rector of Moscow State University (MGU),
I am Trần Hà Linh.
Recently, I came across the information posted on the university's website regarding scholarships for international students. Today, I write this essay with the hope that I will be granted this valuable scholarship.
If someone were to ask me why I chose to study abroad in Russia rather than elsewhere, I would undoubtedly answer, 'Russia is the country I love and long to set foot in.' Since I was a child, my parents often told me about the people and life in the land of the white nights. Both of them have studied in Russia, so they have a profound understanding of this place. Moreover, Russia is where they met and fell in love. Therefore, deep within my heart, Russia is a beautiful and romantic country. I want to go there to hear the melody of the song 'Katyusha,' witness the Winter Palace, and, most importantly, study and research at MGU - the most prestigious university in Russia.
After reading the criteria of the university, I feel that I meet all the requirements for application. Firstly, I am currently studying Literature at a specialized high school in Northern Vietnam. Despite being in the social sciences, I don't neglect natural science subjects. I always try to balance and study all subjects evenly. Therefore, my academic results are consistently good. Besides, I actively participate and achieve high results in provincial and national literature competitions. To prepare for future studies abroad, I have been diligently learning foreign languages, including Russian and English, for a long time. Currently, my proficiency in Russian and English is at the TRKI-1 and IELTS 6.5 levels. Due to frequent communication with native speakers on online platforms, I have good speaking and listening skills.
From ancient times, my ancestors have taught, reminded, and advised, 'Learning goes hand in hand with doing.' Following this teaching, in addition to studying, I also actively participate in social activities. During summer vacations, I often go to a mountainous district in Northern Vietnam with brothers, sisters, and friends to do volunteer work. Here, we participate in helping locals clean up waste and tidy up the streets. Additionally, we organize volunteer teaching. Occasionally, if conditions allow, I will also participate in summer camps. Thanks to engaging in such social activities, I have learned and accumulated valuable experiences and lessons for myself. Meeting people from different places has also helped me improve my communication skills. As a result, I become more and more confident.
I have an endless passion for literature. Therefore, I often read famous and valuable literary works such as 'War and Peace,' 'Gone with the Wind,' 'The Steel Was Tempered,' 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' and more. However, I have never been satisfied with what I have learned. I always keep in mind the ancient saying 'traveling one day, learning one wisdom.' Therefore, I hope to study at the Faculty of Philology. I am confident that, with my love for literature and enthusiastic guidance from the quality faculty, I will absorb and harvest invaluable knowledge. Furthermore, I set a goal to pursue a Master's degree at the university if conditions permit.
Whether the path ahead is rugged or smooth, I am prepared for everything. I pledge to adhere to the regulations and rules set forth by the school.
I hope to receive feedback from the school soon.
I sincerely thank you!
