The person I admire
Hung: The topic for tomorrow’s presentation is really interesting. Have you decided who to talk about, Quang?
Quang: Not yet. I’m still wavering between two famous people, Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson. I admire them both.
Hung: But who’s had a greater impact on you?
Quang: I’m not sure … Steve Jobs’s work stimulates my creativity and innovation, while Michael Jackson’s music inspired me to learn to play a musical instrument. What do you think?
Hung: Well, both of them were very talented and influential, but I prefer Steve Jobs. I think Michael Jackson was a great dancer, but not an excellent singer. In his later years, his singing voice became weak and thin and wasn’t as good as before.
Quang: I see. What about you? Who are you going to talk about?
Hung: Christine Ha.
Quang: You mean … the lady who won the US MasterChef trophy in 2012?
Hung: That’s right.
Quang: I know your dream is to become a famous chef. Is that why you want to talk about her?
Hung: Yes. What’s more, Christine is a blind chef and a gifted writer. She’s very talented and determined. It was absolutely amazing to watch her use all the kitchen tools and prepare the dishes.
Quang: I agree. I remember how excited I felt when Christine was creating those great-looking dishes … and even anxious when the judges were tasting them. By the way, do you know where she was born? In Viet Nam or the US?
Hung: In California, but she was inspired by memories of her mum’s cooking.
Quang: It seems you know quite a lot about her. Good luck with your presentation tomorrow!
Hung: The same to you!

Practice 2:
The Hudson River is one of the most significant rivers in America, though it is not the largest. It was named after Henry Hudson, an English explorer who charted the river for the Dutch East India Company. The Hudson goes for 315 miles, starting in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. It enters the ocean around New York City.
Washington Irving, an American writer, was one of the first to write about the Hudson River. He lived in the Hudson River Valley and wrote about the unique characteristics of this area. He developed the first kind of American folklore and told a story of a man named Rip Van Winkle. Rip Van Winkle fell asleep one day while climbing the mountains around the Hudson River. He did not wake up for twenty years. When he finally woke up, America had become a free country.
The river has not only been written about by famous writers, but has had practical purposes as well. It was an important means of transportation as America developed. The Eric Canal was built to connect the river to Lake Erie, one of the nation’s great lakes. This canal allowed the many cities on the Great Lakes to get goods from Europe. The Hudson River Valley area was also good for building railroads. All in all, the Hudson River is an important river in America.

A. Washington Irving’s River C. A River of American Importance
