a. Alice wrote an essay about her best friend for homework. Does she like everything about Simon?

(Alice đã viết một bài văn về bạn thân nhất của mình cho bài tập về nhà. Bạn ấy có thích mọi thứ về Simon không?)

My best friend is Simon. He is very helpful. When I can't do my math homework, he helps me.

He doesn't like selfish people. That's why he always shares his candy with his friends. I think he is very kind. He always thinks about other people.

Simon always makes me laugh. He is so funny! Lots of students in our class like him. He is very friendly, too. He has a lot of friends.

One bad thing about Simon is he can be lazy. He doesn't like doing housework or schoolwork. That's OK because he is my best friend!

3. How I Met the King

Tâm Trần, June 21

One of my favorite stories is from Vietnam. It's about two sisters, Tấm and Cám. The two sisters are very different. Tấm works hard every day helping to cook and clean the house. She always thinks about other people and tries to help her family. Cám is very different to Tấm. She never does any chores and she doesn't share anything. Cám does lots of bad things to Tấm. It's not a nice story, but in the end, Tấm's life is very good. I like this story because after such a hard life she is happy.
