Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such things needs lots of practice. It is never enough simply to “know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what to know. For example, it is not enough simply to read a book on how to fly an aeroplane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The same is true of learning the piano or learning a foreign language. Can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.

In Viet Nam, a market is a trading place, but many markets are not only about buying and selling things. They reflect the life of the community. A traditional market is a social gathering point for people of all ages and it is a new and exciting experience for children, a trading place for local craftsmen, and a chance for young people to meet. People go to the traditional market not only to buy and sell things but also to eat, drink, play games and socialize.

All the other animals would be busy singing, playing and looking for food and shelter but not Sloth. They told him “ You are good for nothing”. But Sloth ignored them and carried on lazing around.
One day, a bird built her nest near Sloth’ branch. She laid her egss and watched them until they hatched. Then, she had to fly off and look for food. She asked Sloth to keep an eye on her babies. Sloth was too lazy to answer. “ You are good for nothing” said the bird angrily and flew off.
Soon, a snake slithered up the tree looking for baby bird to eat. It did not notice Sloth on the branch. It was just about to strike the baby birds when it felt a sharp pain on its side. Sloth had clawed it. The snake fell to the ground and slithered away. The mother bird saw what Sloth did. She felt so ashamed of herself. “ Sorry”, she said to Sloth. Sloth simply went back to sleep.
