WHY DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMAN!!!

Here's the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or

My trip to Hue | Tran Xuan Bao Phuc

      Recently, I visited my hometown in Hue. It was a great opportunity since I wanted to learn more about Hue and visit my grandma.    After the bus had taken me to the wrong place, my dad took me back home and I had dinner. Then I played games on my computer while my dad was preparing for the trip. The next day, my dad took me to Dai Noi. It was a large flat ground with a lot of grass of course. We did some exercises and I asked some questions about Dai Noi. My dad answered all the questions then we had some breakfast and went back home. While I was playing games on my computer, my dad did some cooking, he planned to go to the beach in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon, I and my dad went to the beach and then enjoyed the wind and we swam through the wave. After we went back home, my dad planned to go to the mountain for swimming in the stream. The next day, I and my dad went to a restaurant at a stream. We swam there and had a nice meal. After that, I prepared to go back to Do

A memorable trip to the beach | Le Mai Ha Trang

Last year, my class was organized by our parents to go to the beach. Later that evening, we asked our parents to let us go swimming, but they didn’t agree. We had been looking forward to that day a lot because we were able to swim satisfactorily. At first, we were very sad. Then a friend had an idea: “Why don’t we go swimming together without adults?” he suggested. “I think we are old enough to go swimming on our own”. After 10 minutes, when we were ready, we went to the beach. Swimming was really nice. We thought we would only swim for about 30 minutes. When we were all swimming in the sea, I heard someone scream. And there, a friend in my class was in the distance, and he was shouting for help. Suddenly, my whole class noticed that scream. Fortunately, a man who heard the scream jumped down and saved my friend. He’s just a little tired, the rest is fine. After showing him our gratefulness, we returned to the resort. When we told what had happened to all our parents, they were r

A Memorable Trip by Le Khanh Linh

Last summer, my family had a trip to Phu Quoc. It was a Sunday morning and all the family members got up early to prepare for the trip. First, we took a taxi to Hue and visited the historical sites... Then, we flew to Phu Quoc. It was the first time I flew on a plane so I felt both nervous and excited.  When walking down to the airport, I found it was one of the great tourist places I'd been to. Phu Quoc is an island district, with many large islands and many other small islands.  We booked a room at a hotel near the sea, here we can watch the sunrise, the climate here is cool, the air is very fresh. Phu Quoc has many different beaches. If you have time, should experience them. They have a clear blue sea and fine sand is the attraction of Phu Quoc that can not be found anywhere else. It is a point to check-in. I took a lot of pictures. After the tour, we went to the beach and enjoyed seafood dishes. Fish sauce is one of the specialties in Phu Quoc. So we also bought some as gifts

The Wrong Bus by Truong Vinh Son

Last week, I went to Dong Ha City with some friends. We went by bus and we wanted to go to the supermarket. But it was already lunchtime, and we had been feeling very hungry. So Bach, my friend, said, “ After getting off the bus, we can eat near the supermarket”. We agreed with his opinion. At first, we were very upset because we were hungry and the weather was very hot. We had been waiting for the bus for 30 minutes before it came. The bus we needed was number 19. Then we boarded bus number 29. Ten minutes later, we knew we got on the wrong bus. We were very alarmed about this. We asked the driver for the destination of this bus. He told that its destination was a hospital. We had to get off the bus and we waited for another one. The weather became rainy and it was windy. We took shelter from the rain under the bus stop. Luckily, bus number 20 approached. Its driver said he was going to the supermarket. We were very happy. I thought It was an interesting trip.
