Tìm lỗi sai và sửa I remember my first pet very well. My dad came home from work one day with a box with holes cut in the top. I asked him what it was inside and he opened the lid. Sitting in a corner of the box was a small puppy with big black eyes! He looked very frightened so that I picked him up carefully and stroked him. He started to lick my hand and we soon became great friends. I called him Lucky and he soon was learned to do a few things when I told him to. I took him for a walk on every morning before school and every evening when I got home. It was wonderful, but we soon realised that it was no much fun for him living in a flat in the city. We decided to take Lucky to my grandparents’ house in the country so that he would have been more space. We drove there in the car, with Lucky sitting on my lap. He seemed like excited to be going to a new place to live and he jumped out of the car as soon as we stopped. He seemed to like my grandparents and so I was happy to leave him over there. I see him now as often as I can and I always take him a present, like a big juicy bone.
Cảm nhận vẻ đẹp của nhân vật lão Hạc trong đoạn trích sau: Mặt lão nghiêm trang lại... - Việc gì thế, cụ? - Ông giáo để tôi nói... Nó hơi dài dòng một tí. - Vâng, cụ nói. - Nó thế này, ông giáo ạ! Và lão kể. Lão kể nhỏ nhẹ và dài dòng thật. Nhưng đại khái có thể rút vào hai việc. Việc thứ nhất: Lão thì già, con đi vắng, vả lại nó cũng còn dại lắm, nếu không có người trông nom cho thì khó mà giữ được vườn đất để làm ăn ở làng này. Tôi là người nhiều chữ nghĩa, nhiều lý luận, người ta kiêng nể, vậy lão muốn nhờ tôi cho lão gửi ba sào vườn của thằng con lão, lão viết văn tự nhượng cho tôi để không ai còn tơ tưởng dòm ngó đến; khi nào con lão về thì nó sẽ nhận vườn làm, nhưng văn tự cứ để tên tôi cũng được, để thế để tôi trông coi cho nó... Việc thứ hai: Lão già yếu lắm rồi, không biết sống chết lúc nào: con không có nhà, lỡ chết không biết ai đứng ra lo cho được; để phiền cho hàng xóm thì chết không nhắm mắt: lão còn được hăm nhăm đồng bạc với năm đồng vừa bán chó là ba mươi đồng bạc, muốn gửi tôi để lỡ có chết thì tôi đem ra, nói với hàng xóm giúp, gọi là của lão có tí chút, còn bao nhiêu đành nhờ hàng xóm cả... Tôi bật cười bảo lão:
- Sao cụ lo xa quá thế? Cụ còn khỏe lắm, chưa chết đâu mà sợ! Cụ cứ để tiền ấy mà ăn, lúc chết hãy hay! Tội gì bây giờ nhịn đói mà tiền để lại? - Không, ông giáo ạ! Ăn mãi hết đi thì đến lúc chết lấy gì mà lo liệu? Đã đành rằng là thế, nhưng tôi bòn vườn của nó bao nhiêu, tiêu hết cả. Nó vợ con chưa có. Ngộ nó không lấy gì lo được, lại bán vườn thì sao?... Tôi cắn rơm, cắn cỏ tôi lạy ông giáo! Ông giáo có nghĩ cái tình tôi già nua tuổi tác mà thương thì ông giáo cứ cho tôi gửi. Thấy lão nằn nì mãi, tôi đành nhận vậy. Lúc lão ra về, tôi còn hỏi: - Có đồng nào, cụ nhặt nhạnh đưa cho tôi cả thì cụ lấy gì mà ăn? Lão cười nhạt bảo: - Được ạ! Tôi đã liệu đâu vào đấy... Thế nào rồi cũng xong. Luôn mấy hôm, tôi thấy lão Hạc chỉ ăn khoai. Rồi thì khoai cũng hết. Bắt đầu từ đấy, lão chế tạo được món gì, ăn món ấy. Hôm thì lão ăn củ chuối, hôm thì lão ăn sung luộc, hôm thì ăn rau má, với thỉnh thoảng một vài củ ráy, hay bữa trai, bữa ốc. (Trích truyện ngắn “Lão Hạc” – Nam Cao
