II. Sample Essay: You portray Le Than recounting the legend of Ho Guom

I was born in a fishing village. Every day, I cast my nets to catch shrimp and fish to sustain myself and make a living. That day, in the evening, I cast my net on a deserted shore. I felt the weight of that net and was certain I had caught a large net full of fish.

I pulled the net up, but it was just an iron bar. I angrily threw that iron bar away and tried to pull up another net. On the next attempt, still feeling the same weight as the first time, I was convinced this time it would be a big catch. I reassured myself that it couldn't be a coincidence that the iron bar got caught in my net three times.

At that time, the Ming invaders came to our land. They killed people, looted, leaving no one spared. Le Loi, who was the leader of Lam Son righteous army, bravely led his troops to fight off the Ming invaders multiple times but failed. I was outraged by the atrocities of the enemy and wanted to unite, to support General Le Loi in accomplishing great deeds. So, I joined Le Loi's army. I told the story of pulling up the net with the sword to the general. Le Loi was curious to see the sword. At that moment, the sword placed in Le Loi's hand suddenly shone brightly, revealing the inscription 'Thuan Thien'. Once, while passing through a forest, Le Loi suddenly saw a strange light on a tree. Upon closer observation, he found it to be the hilt of a sword. Remembering the sword from before, Le Loi took it down and brought it back. Strangely, the sword fitted perfectly into the hilt. Knowing this was the heaven-sent treasure to drive away the Ming invaders, Le Loi treasured it and rallied the people's forces for a major battle. The sword seemed authoritative, with extraordinary power, wherever it went, the righteous army annihilated the enemy to the root.

When the country was at peace, Le Loi was enthroned as king. Later, on one occasion, I was accompanying the king on a stroll around Lake Tả Vọng. When the boat approached the lake, a golden turtle emerged from the water. The turtle came close to the boat and said: 'Please return the sword to Long Quan'. At that moment, both I and Le Loi realized that it was the treasure that Long Quan lent to defeat the enemy.
