English for FRIENDS - FRIENDS"CLUB ( the 5th floor)

Everyone take cares. Sticky Rice & Meat I''m sure won''t allow this kind of information - Obama, Strong... - existing in his flock. I can sense a deep snarl echoing upon the wind. It is advancing!
Duck down, my men!
Fire in the hole!

may mà trời mưa ko to như dự báo

Cuối tuần này sẽ nắng rùi...!
Chúc cả nhà ngày nghỉ cuối tuần zui zẻ nha!

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I''m counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here
The world''s a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying:
I wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here
//4 a sunny day ...

A son says to his father: ''Dad, would you be willingly to run a marathon with me?
The father, despite his age and a heart disease, says ''YES''.
And they run that marathon, together.
The son asks: ''Dad, can you run another marathon with me?'' Again father says ''YES''.
They run another marathon, together.
One day the son asks his father: ''Dad, would please do the Iron Man with me?
Now just in case you wouldn''t know, ''The Iron Man'' is the toughest triatlon in existance; 4km swimming, then 180 km by bike, and finaly another 42 km running, in one stroke.
Again father says ''YES''
Maybe this doesn''t ''touch'' you yet by heart ... until you see this movie (put on sound!)

Dilemmas.
Dilemma 1 - Sophie"s choice.
A Polish woman, Sophie, was arrested by the Nazis and sent to the death camp. On arrival, she was "honored" for not being a Jew by being allowed a choice:
One of her children will be spared the gas chamber if she chooses which one.
In an agony of indecision, as both children were being taken away, she suddenly did choose. They could take her daughter, who was younger and smaller. Sophie hoped that her older and stronger son would be better able *****rvive, but she lost track of him and never did learn of his fate.
Years later, haunted by the guilt of having chosen between her children, Sophie committed suicide.
According to you:
1. Did Sophie do the right thing?
2. Should she have felt guilty?
3. What would you do if you were Sophie?
Dilemma 2 - A Father''''s Agonizing Choice.
You are an inmate in a concentration camp. A sadistic guard is about to hang your son who tried to escape and wants you to pull the chair from underneath him. He says that if you don''''t he will not only kill your son but some other innocent inmate as well. You don''''t have any doubt that he means what he says.
What should you do?
