'Hi, my name is... want to be friends with me'?

The students all laughed when they heard that, but then complained, "I was so fast that I didn't have time to edit the Zalo friend request, teacher!" Even though she was "purple with anger", she still had to click "agree".

Thanks to being in charge of the soft skills subject, I have the opportunity to interact with many students who are only 18 or 19 years old. Having just left high school and their families, many of them are quite confused about both studying and daily life.

Some of you talk directly or text with teachers as if you were talking to a friend, writing and speaking in a blank space. Therefore, I always try to discuss as detailed as possible the necessary soft skills for you, especially communication skills.

However, there are still many students who make her surprised and stunned by adding her as friends on Zalo with the invitation "Hello. My name is A. I know you through your phone number. Let's be friends!".

In urgent cases, when I need to send a presentation, I have to agree to add you as a friend, otherwise I ignore it. Some students have complained that she is too picky, "use the available friend request form to speed things up, it's not that serious".

Generation Z is said to be straightforward, outspoken, and dislikes formality, which sometimes offends adults.

However, no matter how straightforward and frank one is, there are rules of conduct that everyone must voluntarily follow. Respecting elders, thanking those who help you, speaking politely, especially when asking for help, are the basic lessons that students still learn.

Some young people may be confusing or even misunderstanding the concept of polite and flowery speech with politeness in communication. When walking in the school yard and seeing teachers, greeting them, going up and down the stairs without jostling with friends or teachers is not "showing off".

In contact with many young people aged 18-20, I believe that you do not mean to look down on or be rude to adults, but some of you are afraid to communicate or do not know how to communicate properly.

For example, a student texted her: "I missed class yesterday. I texted her the test questions so she could do the test." When you missed class without asking permission, should the teacher "knowingly" send you the test questions so you can make up the test?

Many lecturers and students use Zalo as a platform for communication.

I think that Gen Z is dynamic, bold, sharp, creative, straightforward... but the negative points in communication and behavior are also limitations that you have to bravely look straight at to clearly recognize and adjust.
