2. Sample Essay: Describing the comedian I admire (Comedian Trấn Thành)
Currently, there exists a plethora of renowned comedians such as Hoai Linh, Van Dung, Truong Giang, Xuan Bac, and Tran Thanh. Each possesses a distinct comedic style. Particularly, I am deeply impressed by Tran Thanh. He is a young and talented artist, remarkably humorous and charming.
Tran Thanh's full name is Nguyen Tran Thanh. He was born and raised in Saigon. Despite being from the South, he can flawlessly imitate the Northern accent, especially excelling in mimicking various other artists. I adore Tran Thanh's smile—bright, with perfectly aligned teeth and mischievous, twinkling eyes, often referred to as 'smiling eyes.' His face can express a myriad of emotions, portraying genuine feelings. Hence, when watching films he stars in, I sense his immersion in the character, acting with his own emotions, making the audience feel as if he's not acting at all. Besides the show 'Challenge the Comedians,' I also watch Tran Thanh in 'The Singing Contest,' where, whether as a host or a contestant, he showcases his comedic talent, cheerful personality, and friendliness.
Artists, in general, and Tran Thanh, specifically, utilize their talents to bring moments of relaxation and hearty laughter to us. Therefore, I silently appreciate the dedication and effort towards the art of these artists.
>> Alongside Tran Thanh, there are many other beloved comedians whom the public adores, such as Xuan Bac, Hoai Linh, Van Dung... You can explore more descriptions of your favorite comedians here.

2. Sample essay imagining and describing a character from a story I've read (Cinderella)
During the Mid-Autumn Festival talent show 'Moon Festival Night' in our neighborhood, there were numerous princesses stepping out from fairy tales like Snow White, Princess Elsa, Princess Ariel from under the sea, and Cinderella. I was most impressed by the portrayal of Cinderella, where I immediately associated with the arduous tasks and endless work she had to endure.
In my mind, Cinderella embodies purity with her slender figure, petite stature, small face, fair skin, large round eyes, and a perpetually radiant smile in all circumstances. Due to living with a wicked stepmother and two stepsisters, Cinderella had to endure a bitter fate, doing all the household chores, always being belittled, trodden upon, treated no better than a servant. She alone did all the strenuous tasks, tirelessly working from dawn till dusk, daily chores including laundry, cooking, and tending to the animals, without a day of rest. Her whole body was always covered in dirt, yet she never ceased to sing to keep herself motivated. Not only did she sing beautifully, but she was also adept at sewing, stitching her own clothes and shoes. On the night of the ball, simply by shedding her dirty clothes and donning the gown of the fairy godmother, Cinderella transformed into a stunningly beautiful princess, unrecognizable from the Cinderella who spent her days in the kitchen.
