Today I'm going to talk about an old person who has had an interesting life. I guess I could begin by saying something about who this person is. I think I would have to choose my grandfather. He's now in his seventies and he lives in a small town near Hanoi. He is a kind and hardworking person, and everyone in my family respects him very much. Going on to my next point, which is where he lives. He has spent most of his life in the countryside. Ten years ago, when I was still a normal student in school, I often visited him during summer vacations. Now, with reference to what he has done in his life, I suppose I would say that he has faced difficult situations. When he was young, my family was poor, so he had to work very hard to support them. Later, he became a teacher and spent more than 30 years teaching children in his village. In answer to the question of how I feel about this person, I really admire him because he is wise, patient, and optimistic.
