Tiếng Anh 

A neighbor who lives next to my house is a kind girl, and I like her very much. Her name is Nghien, she has short hair which is about the shoulders, and her hair is dyed in a light and prominent brown color. Her eyes are big and also have a brown color which suit her hair, and I am asking my parents for permission to get my hair dyed in the same her during my summer break. Every morning when I leave home to go to school is also the time for her to prepare to go to work. She is tall and slightly skinny, but she always knows how to choose the suitable dress for her body. She works in a fashion company so she always looks so stylish, and she also shows me some good tips for combining clothes. Whenever she meets my parents or me, she always has a smile on her face together with a friendly greeting. She is an adult, so she knows how to have a very good manner with every one, and my mother often tells me to learn a lot from her. She likes to plant flowers in front of the house, and she also gave me a small flower pot on my birthday. She cooks well, and she often brings her food to my house. Sometimes I am like a pigeon that transports the mail, because my mother often tells me to bring food to her, and she also send me some food back. Next month she will get married, and maybe she will move out of her current house. I feel very sad to lose a good neighbor like her, but she promises to visit me often. For me, she is not just a neighbor, but I also love her like my older sister.

Tiếng Việt 

Hàng xóm kế bên nhà tôi là một chị gái tốt bụng, và tôi rất yêu quý chị ấy. Chị ấy tên là Nghiên, chị có mái tóc cắt ngắn ngang vai được nhuộm màu nâu rất nổi bật. Đôi mắt chị to tròn và cũng có màu nâu trông rất hợp với màu tóc, và tôi thì đang xin phép bố mẹ để được nhuộm màu tóc giống chị khi tôi được nghỉ hè. Mỗi buổi sáng lúc tôi rời nhà để đến trường cũng là lúc chị ấy chuẩn bị đi làm. Dáng người chị cao và hơi gầy, nhưng chị luôn biết cách chọn trang phục sao cho phù hợp nhất. Chị làm ở một công ty về thời trang nên nhìn chị lúc nào cũng thật phong cách, và chị cũng hay chỉ cho tôi một số mẹo hay để kết hợp quần áo. Những lúc gặp tôi hay bố mẹ tôi chị đều nở một nụ cười cùng lời chào hỏi thân thiện. Chị là một người trưởng thành nên chị luôn biết cách cư xử tốt với mọi người, và mẹ tôi vẫn thường bảo tôi phải học nhiều ở chị. Chị thích trồng hoa ở trước sân nhà, và chị còn tặng tôi một chậu hoa nhỏ vào hôm sinh nhật tôi. Chị nấu ăn cũng rất ngon, và chị hay mang thức ăn qua tặng nhà tôi. Đôi khi tôi giống như một chú chim bồ câu đưa thư, vì mẹ tôi bảo tôi mang thức ăn sang biếu chị, và chị thì lại gọi thêm thức ăn cho nhà tôi. Tháng sau chị sẽ lấy chồng, và có lẽ sẽ dọn ra khỏi khu nhà này. Tôi cảm thấy rất buồn khi mất đi một người hàng xóm tốt như chị, nhưng chị hứa là sẽ thường xuyên ghé thăm tôi. Đối với tôi chị không chỉ là một người hàng xóm, mà tôi còn yêu quý chị như một người chị gái.

I was born and grew up in a small village of DAI TU district, in THAI NGUYEN province. It is about 150 km from here.

It is a small village because it has only a population of 1000 with a size of 3 square kilometers

There is a  primary school in the village, so it is very convenient for children to go to school. There is a small market with a lot of fresh food. The food here is cheaper and fresher than the one in the city.

My village has some nice view, such as: large fields where we can fly a kite and Cau river, where I could swim and my mother usually wash clother there.

Centre of my village is a khuon ga pagoda, it has a large yard,where we usually play badminton, tabletenis or meet each other to chat, next to the pagoda is a large lake. I like going fishing here very much.

Especially, I like tea of my hometown a lot, because it very delecious, I usually drink a cup of tea before I start working.

The people in my village are very hospitable, friendly, helpful and generous. They are all hard working people. They mainly live on farming and business…

Being a learner of Tran quoc Tuan university, I only come home once a month , so I miss my hometown very much.

Life in the city is full of activity. Early in the morning hundreds of people rush out of their homes in the manner ants do when their nest is broken. Soon the streets are full of traffic. Shops and offices open, students flock to their schools and the day’s work begins. The city now throb with activity, and it is full of noise. Hundreds of sight-seers, tourists and others visit many places of interest in the city while businessmen from various parts of the world arrive to transact business.

Then towards evening, the offices and day schools begin to close. Many of the shops too close. There is now a rush for buses and other means of transport. Everyone seems to be in a hurry to reach home. As a result of this rush, many accidents occur. One who has not been to the city before finds it hard to move about at this time. Soon, however, there is almost no activity in several parts of the city. These parts are usually the business centres. With the coming of night, another kind of actịvity begins. The streets are now full of colorful lights. The air is cooler and life becomes more leisurely. People now seek entertainment. Many visit the cinemas, parks and clubs, while others remain indoors to watch television or listen to the radio. Some visit friends and relatives and some spend their time reading books and magazines. Those who are interested in politics discuss the latest political developments. At the same time, hundreds of crimes are committed. Thieves and robbers who wait for the coming of night become active, and misfortune descends upon many. For the greed of a few, many are killed, and some live in constant fear. To bring criminals to justice, the officers of the law are always on the move.

Workers and others who seek advancement in their careers attend educational institutions which are open till late in the night. Hundreds of them sit for various examinations every year. The facilities and opportunities that the people in the city have to further their studies and increase their knowledge of human affairs are indeed many. As a result, the people of the city are usually better informed than those of the village, where even a newspaper is sometimes difficult to get.

The city could, therefore, be described as a place of ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of life is enacted every day.

My favourite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I also like the way he dances.

There were nine children in Michael's family. They lived in a small fourroom house. Later he lived in a house which has seventeen rooms downstairs and sixteen rooms upstaires. It stands in 2,700 acres of ground. Besides the house there are guest houses, a golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, gardens, lakes, forests and a zoo.

A lot of strange stories are told about Jackson. It's difficult to decide whether they are true or not. Michael never gave interviews and was rarely seen in public, except on stage. Certainly his behaviour may seem eccentric. In public he often wore a face mask to protect himself from germs, he slept inside an oxygen capsule, which he believed would help him to live longer. But his manager says that Jackson wasn't eccentric. He was just shy. Michael sang in public for the first time when he was five. Since that time he had always been in the public eye. And since that time he had been working like a grown-up.

There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bedtime. There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life.

He said about himself that in the crowd he was afraid, on stage he was safe. Off stage he felt happiest with animals and children. He was well-known for his childish tastes. It's not a secret that his favourite hero was Peter Pan.

Michael has been called "the child who never grew up", but I think he was a grown-up who was never allowed to be a child.

Whether he was crazy, childish, eccentric or just shy, he was no fool. He created a brilliantly successful image, he made a lot of money and spent it on the things he wanted. Who wouldn't like to do the same?
