Through this exchange activity, all students in the GDUFS 2011 group studying Vietnamese in Hanoi have received a profound education. They feel strongly that we, as college students, are expected to shoulder the future of our country, for our every move is closely related with the goals of our Motherland's tomorrows. As the Prime Minister said "no more waste of time", students learning minority languages should seize every minute to enhance language skills, have a further knowledge of the target country's history, culture and current conditions, and strive for becoming successors to the traditional friendship between two countries.
