Trải nghiệm đáng xấu hổ nhất của tôi
Trải nghiệm đáng xấu hổ nhất của tôi đã xảy ra cách đây vài năm, khi tôi còn là một học sinh lớp 9. Trong những ngày đó, ước mơ lớn nhất của tôi là có được một chiếc mũ màu đỏ, một chiếc mũ bằng bông mềm như cái mà thần tượng ngôi sao nhạc pop của tôi đã đội trong video clip của cô ấy. Tôi nghĩ rằng tôi sẽ cảm thấy rất tuyệt khi đội nó. Cha tôi biết điều này, vì vậy vào ngày sinh nhật của tôi, ông đã cho tôi một số tiền để tôi có thể mua chiếc mũ cho chính mình. Tôi rất vui mừng và quyết định đi đến cửa hàng ngay lúc ấy. Tôi đã lên xe buýt và ngồi xuống bên cạnh một cậu học sinh cùng độ tuổi với tôi. Cậu bé liếc nhìn tôi và quay đi. Có một cái nhìn lén lút trên
gương mặt của cậu ấy, nhưng tôi không nghĩ nhiều về điều đó. Tôi đang bận tưởng tượng làm thế nào khi tôi đội chiếc mũ đỏ. Sau một lúc, tôi quay lại và nhìn thấy chiếc cặp của cậu bé đã được mở. Bên trong đó, tôi thấy một nắm đô la nhìn giống như những tờ đô la mà cha tôi đã cho tôi. Tôi nhanh chóng nhìn vào những tờ tiền trong túi của tôi nhưng chúng đã biến mất. Tôi chắc chắn rằng cậu bé kia chính là một tên trộm. Cậu ấy đã lấy trộm tiền của tôi. Tôi không muốn làm ổn ào lên, vì vậy tôi quyết định chỉ lấy tiền của tôi trở lại từ túi của cậu ấy. mà không nói một lời nào về nó. Nên tôi cẩn thận đặt tay vào túi của cậu ấy, lấy các tờ tiền và đặt nó trở lại vào trong túi của riêng tôi. Với số tiền tôi đã mua chiếc mũ xinh đẹp như mơ của tôi. Khi về nhà tôi đã khoe với cha tỏi. Cha tôi hỏi: "Làm thế nào con trả tiền cho chiếc mũ đó?” Tôi trả lời: "Thưa cha, tất nhiên là với số tiền cha dã cho nhân ngày sinh nhật của con”. Ông chỉ vào một nắm đô la ghi chú trên bàn và hỏi: "Ồ? Thế kia là cái gi?" Bạn có thể tưởng tượng tôi cảm thấy thế nào sau đó không?

I had to rush to the reservation desk to pay for my ticket. The woman at the desk told me that my name was not on the passenger list. It took fifteen minutes to realize that she had spelled my name incorrectly. She gave me the ticket and told me
I'd better check in my luggage quickly or I'd miss my night. I was the last person to get on the plane.
I found my seat and discovered that I was sitting next to a four-year old boy who had a cold. I sat down and wondered if anything else could go wrong. I hate flying, especially take-off, but the plane took off and everything seemed to be all right. Then, a few minutes later, there was a funny
noise and everything started to shake. I looked out of the window and – oh my God - there was smoke coming out of the wing. All I could think was "The engine are on fire. We are going to crash. I am too young to die,"
Almost immediately, the captain spoke to us in a very calm voice "Ladies and gentlement. This is your captain speaking. We are having a slight technical problem with one of our engines. There is no need to panic. We will have to return to the airport. Please remain seated and keep your seat belts fastened."
A few minutes later, we were coming on to land. The pilot made a perfect landing on the runway. It was over. We were safe. That day I decided not to fly again. I caught another taxi and went home. But as I closed the front door. I looked down at my case. Somehow I had picked up the wrong suitcase.

Unforgettable Experiences
Interviewer: This is Radio 3. In our “Unforgettable Experiences” programme tonight we talk to Christina, a successful businesswoman. Hello Christina, welcome to our programme.
Christina: Hello and thank you! It’s nice being with you tonight
Interviewer: Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorable experience in your life?
Christina: Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house burned down.
Interviewer: Really? How did it happen?
Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove.
Interviewer: What were you doing at that time?
Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by walls of fire.
Interviewer: That’s terrible! How did you escape?
Christina: I was terrified. Then I heard my mother’s voice calling my name. I rushed to her. She carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn. Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way?
Christina: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped me grow up.
Interviewer: What do you mean?
Christina: Well, before the fire, I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how small my room was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I didn’t really need my odd things. I just needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes anytime, but a family can never be replaced.
Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you some thing, too.

Dear Patrik,
How are you doing? I am doing quite well here and I hope that you’re, too. Today, my teacher asked us to write you a letter telling you about one of our most unforgettable memories. Well, I guess what I’m going to tell you is quite embarrassing… but ok, it’s so funny, too. Last month, Ha and I went to see “Fast and Furious 8”, a blockbuster action movie. I guess I have told you that I am kind of startled one, it means I am easy to get startled when there’s a sudden loud noise. The story went like this. We came to the cinema a little bit late, as a result we had to rush to our seat. I put the drink on the right and when I was going to sit down, there was a big unnoticed motor noise from the screen. Of course, I got shocked, startled and the popcorn on my hand fell in the
air. Could you imagine what happened? Unfortunately, it didn’t fall on me and Ha but on me and another girl on my left. I felt really sorry, guilty and embarrassed about what happened to that girl. Ha helped me to clean up a little bit, but she couldn’t help laughing at my face. OMG. It was bad, but I still guess it is better that popcorn fell, not the water
Ok, That’s it!!! Now your turn, can you tell me one of your most memorable past experiences.
Wish all the best for you,
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Sincerely Nguyet,
