It was a busy day in Manila. The sun was shining and everyone was hurrying to work. Michael decided to take a different route to college, and something caught his eye.
A young puppy was limping along the road. He looked very sick and he was starving.
Michael found him some food and water, but he couldn’t afford to adopt him because he was supporting both himself and his younger brother through school.
So he turned to his friends for help. He posted a message on Facebook with a map of the dog’s location and asked everyone to share it.
The message made its way to the US where Geri picked it up. She contacted her friends in the Philippines and found someone to take Jay to the vet.
Jay was suffering from mange, a skin disease that made him lose his fur. He was always scratching because his skin was itchy, but not any more. Jay was adopted by Ninfa and just look at him now. What a bundle of lovely white fur and what a happy dog!

An old pirate was sitting in the bar. He was smoking a pipe and drinking a glass of rum. He was wearing an eye patch and he had a parrot on his shoulder and a wooden leg. Instead of his righthand he had a metal hook. A young sailor was chatting with the pirate and he asked him about his adventures at sea.

‘So, how did you lose your leg?’, the young man asked the pirate.

‘Arrr! ,’ said the pirate, ‘You see, some sharks were circling the ship when I fell over board. Luckily, my men pulled me back onto the ship before the sharks ate me completely, but one of the sharks got my leg.’

‘And how about the hook on your hand? How did you lose your hand?’

‘I was boarding a ship when another sailor cut off my hand with a sword.’

‘That’s amazing! What a life full of adventures!’ said the young man.

‘And how about your eye? How did you lose that?’

‘I was eating a grapefruit when the juice went into my eye.’

‘But I don’t understand. How did you lose your eye from the grapefruit juice?’

‘Arrr!’ said the pirate, ‘it was my first day with the new hook.’

Introduction

Police office & Mr. Shaw

Tự đánh giá và cam kết:

Tôi có thể dùng thì Quá khứ tiếp diễn để nói về những hoạt động của mình ở một thời điểm cụ thể trong quá khứ như “at this time yesterday, at 10AM yesterday, before I fell asleep, v.v.”
Tôi có thể kể lại những sự việc đã diễn ra bằng thì Quá khứ đơn và Quá khứ tiếp diễn.
Tôi đã thực hành nghe hiểu liền và sẽ tiếp tục cho đến khi thực sự nghe hiểu liền như tiếng Việt.
