2. Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of Americans unusual literary figures. An
individualist, he rambled through the countryside seeing people and places, and making them his own. His
experiences in earning a living were varied : at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse, and a
newspaper editor. He was a big hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by caring for
the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country,
developing his strong sense of nature, which carried through to his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses
he had written, and published them in one thin volume, Leaves of Grass a book which he revised and
rewrote all the rest of his life. The book was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by the others,
probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new
poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didnt grow until after his death, and it
reached a high point in 1920s. Since then, Whitmans style has greatly influenced modern poets.

7. When we were in England last year, I went fishing with my friend. Peter. Early in the morning we
were sitting quietly by the side of a lake when we had an unpleasant surprise; We saw a duck come along
with three ducklings paddling cheerfully behind her. As we watched them, there was a sudden swirl in the
water. We caught a glimpse of the vicious jaws of a pike - a fish which is rather like a freshwater shark -
and one of the ducklings was dragged below the surface.
The incident made Peter furious. He vowed to catch the pike. On three successive mornings we returned
to the vicinity and used different kinds of bait. On the third day Peter was lucky. Using an artificial frog as
baiti he managed to hook the monster. There was a desperate fight but Peter was determined to capture the
pike and he succeeded. When he got itl ashore and killed it, he weighed the fish and found that it scaled
nearly thirty - a record for that district.

If you ask any member of the Vang Trang Khuyet Club which time of the day they enjoy most, and they will
all agree their photography lesson.
The Vang Trang Khuyet Club's members come from the Nhan Chinh School for Deaf Children, Xa Dan
Secondary School for Deaf and Mute Children, and the Hanoi Literature and Art Club for Mentally
Retarded Children.
Whenever we hold a camera, wandering around and taking in our surroundings through a lens, we can
forget the sorrow of our disabilities, says club member Nguyen Minh Tam.
The six-month-old photographic club, which comprises 19 deaf, mute or mentally retarded children, is now
having its first exhibition in Hanoi.
More than 50 color photos are on display at the exhibition room featuring the beauty of daily life seen
through the eyes of these disabled children. The subjects are simple and peaceful: old men reading books
on the banks of Hoan Kiem Lake, labourers hard at work, or chickens looking for food.
The children's passion for taking pictures has stimulated them and helped them escape their sorrow.

Well, I wasn't worried when my son bought a computer. After all lots of children have parents who don't
understand computers. But when my secretary asked me for a computer in the office. I really became
worried. So I decided to take some lessons in computing and my son became my teacher. He's very helpful.
He invited me to sit down in front of the computer screen which I did not know what to call it. When I asked
him what it was, he said that it was VDU. I still didn't know what VDU was, but I was too shy to ask him
any more. From that moment my memory refused to learn because he told me a lot of things that I really
didn't understand at all. After a few lessons I began to feel tired. I made an excuse, saying that I was
having a headache. I suggested we should leave the lesson until another day. Since then I haven't said
anything about the computer to my son and my secretary.

The weekend picnic I enjoyed most was just a few week ago. My class decided to pay a visit to the
Botanical Garden.
It was a glorious Sunday. We assembled at the school gate on time and travelled to the Botanical Garden
by bus. It was a long way to our destination and we sung merrily all the way.

The Botanical Garden was a very beautiful place. We made a short tour round the garden and took some
pictures of the whole class. Then we played a lot of games on a spacious piece of grassland. One of the
boys brought along his guitar and we sang our favourite songs. We laughed, talked and danced, too. After
a delicious meal with various kinds of food that we brought, we all took a rest. Some of us slept very
soundly because it was so peaceful and quiet there. In the afternoon, we went on playing some more
games. Then we packed up the left overs and started home. We all felt happy.

Popffero used to be a small quiet town on the south coast of England. But it has become a crowded and
busy tourist resort now. They're completely destroyed its old atmosphere. The small old houses have been
pulled down, and tall buildings have been put there instead. They're also built a big hotel in the middle of
town. The narrow streets have been widened and resurfaced, so the big trees on the two sides of the streets
have been cut down.
The large area of grass land in the suburbs of the town has been turned into an ugly car park. Even the
old comer shop isn't there any more. It has been replaced by a big department store. And there is an
expensive restaurant where there used to be an old tea shop. Many people in Popffero are happy with the
changes as there are more jobs for them. But some people don't like the changes they miss the quiet and
peaceful life of the old town.
