Geoffrey Hampden has a lot of friends and is very popular at parties. Everybody admired him for his fine sense of humour, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny.

Recently, one of Geoffrey's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a weeding reception. This is the sort of thing that Geoffrey loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the weeding with Jenny. He included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. As soon as he finished, Jenny told him she wanted to go home. Geoffrey was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked. On the way home, he asked Jenny if she enjoyed the speech. To his surprise, she said she didn't. Geoffrey asked her why this was so and she told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him!

“Yellow flowers on the green grass” is a 2015 Vietnamese drama, which was directed by Victor Vu. It is adapted from the novel of the same name by Nguyen Nhat Anh. The film stars Thinh Vinh and Trong Khang. Although there aren't any famous actors, the film attracted a large audience.
The film is about the childhood of the brothers Thieu (Thinh Vinh) and Tuong (Trong Khang) in a poor rural village in central Vietnam in the 1980s. They share and do everything together. However, when their friend next door Man (Thanh My), comes to stay with them and a big flood hits their village, there is a big misunderstanding that leads to Tuong's back injury. The film has an open ending with the scene of Thieu and Tuong studying in their house.
The film received many positive reviews from critics for its touching story, beautiful and familiar scenery of the country in Vietnam, and the especially impressive acting of three main actors.
The film touches audiences' hearts because it is about a story of childhood but it is not childish nor for only children; it's for adults who used to be children. It makes them cry and laugh together when they remember their own childhood, hometown and family. The film is well worth watching.

KEEPING OUR TEETH HEALTHY

It’s very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us chew our food. They also help us look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bit of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside to the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit the dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way.

Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-once after the breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal.

Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables, and fresh fruits. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ______.

Dear Anna,

How are you? I'm fine. I am very busy lately with school and my hobbies. I have basketball practice twice a week - every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I play basketball quite well. Each practice takes me two hours and then I go home and do my homework. Every Friday, we have a Maths quiz (a short exam), so I have to work extra hard on schoolwork after my Thursday's basketball practice. I’m quite good at Maths, but it’s still very tiring. I often have to take a cold shower so that I can concentrate on my school work.

Also, every Saturday morning I enjoy running around the park. I like taking my dog, Jimmy, with me. We like running quickly together. On Saturday evenings, I watch football games on television. My father often watches the games too, but he can’t always do that. He sometimes doesn’t come home from work on time. My mother can watch it with us, but she doesn't like football so much. She enjoys painting pictures. She can paint very well. My sister goes riding on Sunday mornings. Her horse is called Johnny. He is a little slow because he is old. But when he was young he was very quick.

Well, I have to run. I still have homework to do and I can't do it if I go on writing to you, which I like doing.

Yours,

Diana
