2. Sample passage: Write a paragraph expressing emotions about the poem 'Spring Nursery Rhymes' by Nguyen Khoa Diem.
In the poem 'Spring Nursery Rhymes' by Nguyen Khoa Diem, the image of the soldier Uncle Ho has evoked many emotions in me. At the beginning of the poem, the image of the soldier heading into the green mountains during the fiery years of national resistance fills me with great admiration. However, he sacrificed on the battlefield before the day of peace could arrive: 'One peaceful day/ You never returned'. The two lines of verse evoke deep sorrow at the harsh reality of war: soldiers leaving for battle never to return. The day he left, he was a young man, 'never loved before', never knew the taste of coffee. He still loved to fly kites in the vast countryside. Yet, the cruel war took his life: 'One bomb explosion/ Black smoke in the forest evening/ You became a flame/ Friends carried you away'. The line 'You became a flame/ Friends carried you away' makes me feel the painful sacrifice, but his death has become an eternal flame, illuminating the will, spirit for comrades to carry with them into battle. Though he is no longer here, memories of the 'Backpack of a frog/ The green shirt/ The feverish skin/ The gentle smile' still deeply engrained in the memories of his comrades. On the day the country triumphs, many people return to their families, their homeland. Only he remains, leaving behind his youthful enthusiasm deep in the depths of the Truong Son mountains, under the 'golden apricot roots', under the 'color of the forest flowers' along with eyes as clear as 'blue springs', shoulders full of the image of the mountains and forests. Every passing spring is a length of longing and nostalgia. With exquisite language, rhythmic verse, 2/2 meter, and literary devices like the simile 'Eyes like blue springs', the poet has etched the image of the soldier deep into the hearts of every Vietnamese. These soldiers live forever in the love, gratitude, and respect of the people because they are the ones who bring spring to the country, to the nation.

2. Sample passage: Write a reflective passage on the poem Encountering Rice Paddy Leaves by Thanh Thao.
During the resistance years against America, numerous poignant poems emerged to mark the heroic period of our nation's history, notably the work 'Encountering Rice Paddy Leaves'. Thanh Thao's poem has left me deeply moved by the soldier's affection for his elderly mother and his profound love for homeland and country. From the very first verse, the son directly expresses his longing: 'Far from home for years/ Craving a bowl of harvest rice/ Smoke drifts within sight/ The scent of rice oddly familiar.' The son, far from home for years, finds the rice paddy leaves suddenly bringing back vivid memories of harvest rice. The flavor of the rice paddy leaves evokes memories of 'smoke drifting within sight,' 'the scent of rice oddly familiar.' The image of harvest rice is also closely associated with the figure of the tireless mother: 'Where is mother this evening/ Gathering leaves to cook/ Only mother's breath on the rice/ Makes it fragrant throughout my journey.' The question 'Where is mother this evening' deeply moves me with the son's sacred affection for his mother. The son understands the hardships and toils of the elderly mother but cannot ease her burden, cannot assist her. Throughout the military march, the son's most cherished memory is still the scent of rice cooked by his mother's hands. It is the flavor of homeland, the silhouette of the mother, the embodiment of the country. The son shares, distributes his longing and affection equally to the elderly mother and the country. Mother is both the driving force urging the son to fight to defend the Fatherland and the source of nourishment, illuminating the son's soul. Therefore, 'The small trees of the Truong Son forest/ Understand the heart, forever fragrant.' With exquisite language and vivid imagery, simple and concise five-word poetry form, the author has expressed the longing and affection for the mother. Family love merges into love for the country, becoming a prominent, indelible mark in the reader's heart.
