ELECTRICLAMP

Introduction: many people say that, at the same time science is developing, it is also threatening our peace and civilization. There are many questions: is it useful or harmful for us? What is it benefit…and so on. No one can have the right answer for these questions. And we all know that a lot of inventions are very important to our life. One of them is electric lamp.

Body 1:  first, electric lamp played an important part in social medicine many years ago.

Before the invention of electric lamp, a lot of people died because there wasn’t enough light at night for performing surgery. At that time, all surgeries were performed in daylight for there wasn’t enough modern equipment and light at night. There were many serious accidents which needed performing urgent surgery; however, all victims had to wait until daylight. Therefore, lots of people died before going to the hospital to perform a surgery. With the invention of the electric lamp, many people were saved not only at daylight but also at night. So electric lamp is a very important invention to social medicine.

Body 2: second, electric lamp also played an important part in improving poor farmers’ living standard. At that time, every body spent all their time working very hard in daylight; however, they couldn’t earn enough money to support their life. Therefore, they had to spend time doing something else at night but they don’t have enough light. When electric lamp was invented, the poor have some chances to do some small jobs to improve their life such as: sewing clothes, closed shoes… if there wasn’t enough light, they couldn’t do anything like that to support their life. With a little money, they could buy more food, more medicine… that made them live easily and easily. Moreover, electric lamp could help people to increase crop productivity by hunting insects, stimulating of fruit ripening… all of them showed that electric lamp is very important on improving poor farmers’ living standard.

PHUOC LONG CHURCH

Phuoc long church is the most famous church in my hometown. It was designed by a French architect in 1960 and 5 years after, it was officially opened. From there, thousands of people visit it every year.

Last week was the first time I have visited the church. My first impression was its architecture. Though it was built many years ago, it still remained its beauty. All the walls were made by stone which were painted in mossy green; therefore, it was a little ancient. The building included 3 rows of room, 40 windows and 7 doors. 7 doors were all made by wood. Each of them was about 2 meters wide and 3 meters high. It was glued by a lot of bright slap of stone. 40 windows were cut into the walls and made by wood. Around the church there were many tall trees. They had luxuriant and thick foliage. Just a little light can go through these foliage. It was shining, the birds were singing… when I stood under them, I felt as if I was in heaven on earth. I didn’t scare anything, I just felt comfortable and relax. At the top of the church, a big bell was hung and it rang every 30 minutes. It made the church more and more solemn.

The church attracted a lot of visitors every year. Thousands of people from my hometown and other provinces visit it each year especial at Christmas and Thanksgiving. At this time, the church was decorated carefully many days before with balloons, cards, lights and bells. In distance, it looked as a magnificent castle in fairy tale. Every one went there to pray for the happiness, prosperity and luckiness. After that, they wanted to enjoy the beautiful landscape. Although it was not the most beautiful church in Viet Nam, it attracted many people and it became the pride of people in my hometown.

When I have free time, I often go to this church for sitting on the chair after hard working. I find myself happy and comfortable.

YOU CAN LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING EXCEPT YOUR BELIEF

A beggar can become a millionaire and a millionaire can become a beggar. It depends on you.I was born in a family with 4 people: my parents, my older brother and i. my father is a mathematics professor in a big university, my mother is a surgeon and my brother has just graduated from the university medical of Ho Chi Minh city and now he is going to work in a hospital like my mother. All my family’s members are very excellent; therefore, I try my best to study hard to become a good surgeon. However, my dream had stopped when I didn’t pass the examination in the university. It is the sock that I have never imagined.

I was a good student during my studying at primary school, secondary school and high school. I studied very well especial Math, Physic, Chemistry and English. I was always the best student in my class. I could do almost the test with the highest mark and everything wasn’t difficult to me. Moreover, I was the pride of my parents. I had dream to be a surgeon when I was a little child, so I studied very hard. Every day I spent time doing the exercises and tests to prepare carefully for the exam in the university. I was very confident and sure that I would become a new student the university medical of Ho Chi Minh City.

I failed the exam was the first sock in my life. During the exam, I found everything was so new that I didn’t do it effectively. I failed  the exam with only 19 marks. It was the first sock in my life. After the exam I was so ashamed and disappointed. I stayed at home by myself with the question “why and why” and said nothing. everything was broke up on my mind. I couldn’t understand why I failed the exam so when i closed my eyes, the exam appeared on my mind again and again and it repeated every night. " oh my God. If only i could have come back to the past, i had done the test well". i had no more chances.wasn't i? " what should i do?" i have no answer. I was born in a good conditional family, I didn’t have to do the household chores, I can do everything freely and I didn’t have to follow my parents in choosing school. My parents and my brother said nothing to me because they understood how ashamed I was. About 3 months after I failed the exam, my parents and my brother told me what I would do next. I kept silent. I was waiting for my parents’ angriness; however, my father smiled with me and said that: “ don’t worry, baby. Try your best and do it again. Everything will be alright. You can lose almost everything except your belief.” I cried. I couldn’t sleep that night to think about what my father said.” Everything will be OK. Try my best and do it again”. Many people who are crippled, mute, deaf... they try their best to succeed why don't I do like that? Of course I have enough ability to gain my dream. If i can't do it successfully at the first time, I will do it the second time and the third time... until I can gain it and I can hold everything in my hand.

Now, I am a 50-year-old- woman. I am a good surgeon in a big hospital in my husband’s hometown. My dream has been coming true until now because i had a lesson from my father that I can lose almost everything except my belief. Don’t lose your belief, try your best and do it again.

MY FATHER

I was born in a big family with 8 people. My parents have to work very hard to earn enough money for us to go to school, especial my father. He always gets up early and stays up late every day to give us the best thing he can.

My father is a hero in my heart. He is a very kind man dressed in army clothes. He has thick and bushy eyebrows, tanned and austere but lenient face, domed forehead and wide mouth. When he smiles, his eyes are light up. He always looks us with loving eyes full of hope and belief. His strong, large shoulders and his large back is a solid prop for us whenever and wherever. His rough hands contain warm love make us stronger and stronger. He will do everything he can to take of us with is love, so he is always the hero in my heart.

Furthermore, my father is the best teacher in my life. When I was a little stubborn child, he always spent his little spare time helping me with my studying, teaching me how to play the guitar well. When I grow up, he teaches me about the proper behavior, the honesty. His lessons make me happy and confident when I live far from him. He teaches me a lot of things to be a good, confident and useful people. I have learned many things from my best teacher which help me live independently, happily and successfully.

My father is not only my best teacher but also my close-friend. We have the same hobbies such as: watching football match, playing card and going fishing. I always share all my problems with him. We share my feelings after that we discuss together before making an important decision. I wish I were a child so that my close-friend would not get older. Therefore, I can stand behind him and I can be protected by him forever.

I can not imagine how I can live without my father because he is my dad, my best teacher and my close-friend. He plays an important part in my life. I hope that my father will be always healthy to live with us forever.
