The story of the mosquito
Once upon a time in a faraway region of Vietnam, there was a young, brave and generous farmer of the name Ngọc Tâm. He had a wife of the name Nhan Diệp. She was gracious and charming. Contrary to her husband who was thrifty and hard working, she was lazy and loved luxury. In spite of that, Ngoc Tan loved his wife and forgave her for anything. Unfortunately, this union lasted only for a short time because his wife died brutally on a beautiful morning. Sinking into distress, Ngọc Tâm did not want to stay away from the corpse of his wife and opposed to her burial. After having sold all his assets, he embarked in a sampan with the casket and drifted with the current without having in mind any precise destination. One day, his sampan took him to the foot of a green and scented hill. Landing on ground, he discovered a landscape imprinted with the beauty of rare flowers and trees bearing varied fruits. During the time he continued his exploration, he suddenly met an old man with his long hair as white as his goatie beard.
From the old man emanated a great serenity and a surprising compassion, which allowed him to understand he had in front of him a God of Places. He threw himself down to the old man''s feet, then implore him to give back life to his wife.

Feeling sorry for him, the God said: " I am going to grant your wish because your love and grief are sincere. But could you not regret it later on!". Then he asked the peasant to open the casket, and cut the end of his finger and let three drops of blood fall on the body of his wife Nhan Diep. Right away, the latter opened her eyes as if she got out of a long lethargy. Her forces returned very fast. Before leaving, the God told the woman: "Don''t forget your duties of a wife. Think of the love your husband brought to you and of his devotion. Be happy both of you."
Hurrying to go back home, the peasant Ngọc Tâm tried to row days and nights. One evening, he had to land to buy groceries. During his absence, a big boat of a wealthy merchant drew up alonside his.
Caught by the beauty of Nhan Diệp, the merchant got into a conversation with her, ended up seducing her and taking her with him to a new destination. Upon his return, furious Ngọc Tâm decided to launch himself into the pursuit of the rich merchant. He succeeded in finding the latter after long months of search. He found his wife and proposed her to go back to him. Used to easy life, the latter refused to the proposal. Right then, the peasant recovered from his craze and told his wife: " You are free to leave me. But you have to give back my three drops of blood that I poured on your body to revive you".
Happy for getting rid of her stupid husband at a good deal, Nhan Diệp hurried to prick her finger. But at the time the blood began to flow, she tumbled down dead. This frivolous and light-hearted woman could not be resigned to leave this world definitively. She came back by transforming herself into a minuscule insect relentlessly pursuing Ngọc Tâm to steal from him the three drops of blood that brought her to human life. This tiny creature is known later as the mosquito.

Unit 2: The thorn bird
Task 1: Reading

* Passage 1:

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the momenr it leaves the nesr it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it foung one. Then singing among the savage branchs, it impales of itself on the longest, sharpest spine. and dying,it rises above its aginy to out- carol the lark and nightingale. One superlative song, existence of price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His Heaven smiles, For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain...Or so saysthe legend.
* Passage 2
Meggie put the form down on the table and stared wide-eyed through the windows at the wealth of autumn roses in the garden. Perfume of roses,bees of roses. And the hibiscus, the bottlebrush, the ghost gums, the bougainvillaea up above the world so high, the pepper trees. How beautiful the garden was, how alive. To see its small things grow big,change,and wither: and new little things come again in the same endless, unceasing cycle.
Time foe Drogeda to stop. Yes, more than time. Let the cycle renew itself with unknown people. I *** it all to myself, I have no one else to blame. And I cannot regret one single moment of it
The birds with the thorn in its breat, it follows an immutable law; ot os driven by it knows not what to impale itself and die singings. At the very instants the thorn enters there it no awarness in it of the dying to come; it simply sings and sings untils there is not the life left to utter another note. But we, when we put the theons in oiut breasts, we know. We understand. And still we do it. Still we do it.

Mình rất thích lời đề từ trong cuốn tiểu thuyết Tiếng chim hót trong bụi mận gai, rất ý nghĩa, sâu sắc và buồn. Ngày xưa khi lần đầu tiên đọc nó mình đã chép ngay vào cuốn sổ tay của mình. Hôm nay được đọc lại bằng Tiếng Anh vẫn khiến mình xao động. CLB Tiếng Anh hà Đông làm mình thấy hấp dẫn và thú vị đấy. Mong các bạn chấp nhận mình là một member nhé, mình rất thích học Tiếng Anh (vì TA của mình rất kém), công việc của mình khá nhiều và bận rộn nhưng hy vọng vẫn tham gia CLB của các bạn. Mình cũng là dân Hà Đông (nhưng là ở countryside). Nice to meet you.
