The ugly duckling Once upon a time there was a little mother duck. She was excited. Her five eggs were finally going to hatch. She watched and counted as one by one the eggs hatched. "One duckling, two ducklings, three, four, five ducklings", she said happily. Suddenly she noticed that there was one more egg. It was bigger and whiter than the rest. "This cannot be my egg", she thought. Slowly the big egg began to crack and the strange looking duckling came up. Mother duck was surprised. The younger duckling was great and bigger than the rest. "How ugly the little one is", she thought. As the day went by, the ducklings began to grow, but the younger duckling looked different from the rest. Everybody looked at him and said, "There goes the ugly duckling". His brothers, sisters teased him all the time. The ugly duckling felt very bad. Whenever people laughed at him, he used to run away and hide behind the reeds near the lake. "Nobody loves me", he thought. One day, the duckling decided to run away from home. He swam and swam, and on his way he had many adventures.

There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

The Hare ran down the road for a while and then paused to rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

The Tortoise walked and walked, never ever stopping until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise that they woke up the Hare. The Hare stretched, yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise had already crossed the finish line.

the bus was so late so i decided to walk. This is the first time i have walked to school so i felt excited. But not much, because i had to walk as fast as i could to get to school on time. The weather on that day was so nice that i planned to go fishing with my best friend in the afternoon. Sunddenly, i saw a little boy crying under a big tree. I didn't want to help him at first because i would be late for school. But then, i came over there and ask him if i could help. He said that he was lost and he felt so scared. I consoled him and lead him to the police station. Although i have been already late for school, i was still happy. About 15 minutes later, his mother came. She thanked me and hug her son. When i came to school, my teacher asked the reason why i came to school late. And she praised me after listening to my story. On the next week, my activity was praised by my principal. I have never had such a happy feeling before.

Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. As the advantage we can consider the fact that the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy. You are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean. In the country there are many plant species. There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or bothersome traffic jams. In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests. You can enjoy walking in the forest and picking mushrooms or hunting. Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the garden, because charges for ground are much lower than in the suburbs. Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower. What is more, you can invite your friends to the barbecue organized in your garden. It would be great! The other positive side is the safety. In the rural area the crime rate is much lower. There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the possibility of burglary is also lower. In the countryside people usually and keep eyes on neighbour's estates. They always react when something strange is happening. Country life is very peaceful and silent. You will enjoy the feeling of peace.

However, there are a lot of positive aspects of living in the country side, there are also some disadvantages. Living in the country is slower. People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time. People in the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city. On the other hand, they don't earn so much money. Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time. The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city. The problem may be also the communication. If you don't have your own car, you may have problem how to commute to work. The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village. Last of all, there are some dangers connected with country life such as heavy snowfall or rainfall.

To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breathtaking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the life in the town is easier. The easy access to shops and other institutions are the great advantage.

Although Vietnam's territory is entirely located in the tropics, Vietnam's climate is distributed into three regions according to the Köppen climate classification with the North and North Central regions being humid subtropical climates. The North consists of four seasons: Spring, Summer, and Winter. The Central and South Central regions are monsoon tropical, the southernmost of the Central and the South have savanna tropical features. At the same time, because it is located on the southeastern edge of mainland Asia, bordering the East Sea (part of the Pacific), it is directly influenced by the trade monsoon climate, often blowing in the regions. low latitude. The South usually has 2 seasons: rainy season and dry season. It is necessary to distinguish between temperate and tropical climates, temperate climates with four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, and tropical climates only two seasons, sunny and rainy. In Vietnam, the northern part has 4 seasons so it is completely in the temperate zone, the south part 2 seasons should be completely in the tropics.

I am usually in habit of reading books. Addition to books that offer me much useful information,I also like comic book. I am in fond of it for some following reasons. To begin with, Comic books bring me a great deal of relaxation. One of them is Doremon story, which tells many funny short stories about 2 main characters, Doremon and Nobita,Who are close friends. The author of that comic creats so many amusing situations among characters that I can"t help laughing. It"s actually a hard-to-put-down book. It attracts not only children but also adults as me. Another good point of it I want to mention about is creative imagination. I mean children need to have imaginative mindset, which helps them be more active in life. By and large, comic book is worth reading after hard work. It is nice for everyone.
