Post - writingA SAMPLE WRITING:	I have just read a short story “Lao Hac”, which was written by Nam Cao, a famous Vietnamese writer, and considered a literary works with high value of reality criticism over the Vietnamese society before 1945. This story reflects the poverty and miseries of the poor, especially farmers who were attached to their lands and villages. The main character of the story is old Mr. Hac, a very poor farmer, whose son lives and works far from the family. He has a dog and it is his only close friend. Like other people at that time, Mr. Hac is so poor that he cannot support himself. Having nothing to eat to survive , he has to sell his only dog for a little money, but it does not help him continue his life long.	When thinking about his son, he does not want to sell his house or his small piece of land. He finds it impossible to suffer such miserable life anymore. In the depth of despair, he kills himself.	Although the story has a sad ending, I think it is really worth reading. It helps us understand and sympathize with the poor in our society at that time.HOMEWORKWrite a book / film report.Prepare new lesson: Unit 12 - ReadingThe outline (Dàn ý) I.
