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 really shocked and angry. We all felt really sorry. We had a memorable trip to the beach.

Make Your Bed and Change the World!

I. Read the following lesson of Admiral William McRaven: Do you want to change your life and change the world to make it a better place? William McRaven is an admiral in the United States Navy and he has some good ideas about how to do this. He says don’t be afraid to try new things that are difficult. Also, he says never give up, never quit when something is difficult. Many people agree that these are very good ideas.  But, Admiral McRaven also has another idea. His idea is very different. He says that you must make your bed every morning to change the world. He gives two reasons for this. First, after you make your bed you will want to do more work, and then more work … and then more work. This is important because you must do lots of work when you want to change the world. Second, sometimes work or school is not easy and you will feel bad – but when you come home and see a beautiful bed, you will feel happy. Then, when you are happy, you will not be afraid to try difficult thing...

A typical week of mine | Hồ Minh Châu

Every weekday morning, my alarm goes off at 7.30 am in the morning. It’s quite late because my school starts in the afternoon. Moreover, I’m a night owl so I prefer to do my work the previous evening instead of waiting until the next morning. My morning routine is very simple. After getting up, I go to the bathroom and have personal hygiene quickly by washing up and brushing my teeth. However, if the weather is hot, I’d like to take a shower early in the morning. After that, I go downstairs and have breakfast with my mom. My school life is quite pressured so after having breakfast, I go upstairs again and start doing my homework and preparing for my lessons in the afternoon. My school finishes at 5.15 pm. My mom usually picks me up because she also finishes her work at the same time. I sometimes help her with house chores when I have no extra classes to go to. In my family, every member shares the housework equally. I prefer to relax after having dinner to do my homework immediat...
