It’s six o’clock in the evening. Many people are at home. They are having dinner. They are watching T.V. They are listening to music. But Mrs Lan is going to work. She’s a doctor and she works at night in the hospital. Today she’s late. The hospital is not in her neighborhood so she usually goes by car. Mrs Lan is in her car now. She’s driving fast. She should slow down but she must be at work by six thirty. A policeman stops her. “You are driving too fast!” he says. "You are going to have an accident". It’s six thirty. Mrs Lan is not at the hospital. She’s at the police station. Her car must stay there for fourteen days.

A MEMORABLE BIRTHDAY

My last birthday might be the most memorable one for me. My husband organized a small party for me  in An Lac restaurant near my house.  Some of  our  close  relatives  and  friends were  invited  to  come.   Everyone  gave me  a  birthday card  and  a  present. My  husband  ordered  a  big  birthday  cake  for  dessert.  Before  the party began, my husband made a speech and I blew out candles. Everyone sang “happy birthday” song. While we were enjoying dinner together, we chatted with each other. My last birthday was really unforgetable for me because at that time, my little daughter was three years old.  With not so clear voice, she read a poem about mother that made me really moved. I would wish to have my birthday with my family and close friends but of course I would rather hold my special day in another restaurant for a change.
