Mi: Ms Hoa said we can discuss the stress we have in our lives on the class forum. So, what stress do you have?
Minh: I'm tired of trying to meet my parents expectations. They want me to study well and be good at many things, so they send me to many classes like maths, English, piano, and karate.
Ann: Why don't you tell them your interests and abilities, Minh? I talked to my parents about this so they no longer send me to classes I don't like. Now I just focus on my health and try to lose some weight.
Minh: You look fit, Ann. You should feel good about your body.

Good morning, everyone. Today I'd like to tell you about life on a planet called Planet Hope.
Planet Hope is in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is three times bigger than Earth. It has three suns and four moons, so the weather is hot all year round, and its surface is quite dry. Planet Hope has only one season.
The creatures living there are Hopeans, and they don't look like us. They have a big head, four eyes, two legs, and four arms. They have thick skin to protect them from the heat. They are very friendly and hospitable. They are only dangerous to people who try to attack them.
Hopeans grow special plants for food. They don't drink liquid water, they drink a type of petrol from under the ground. Hopeans use rockets to travel at very high speeds.
That is my description of Planet Hope and the creatures living on it. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for listening.
