Compose a story from what you've heard and read - Week 6, concise 1

Question 1 (page 58 Vietnamese Language 4 textbook): Narrate a story about self-respect that you have heard and read.
Answer:
Let's recall the Physical Education class story from last year. Do you remember? For me, that story is deeply imprinted, especially the image of Nen-li – a boy with a disability who refused to be inferior to his friends, determined to rise to the challenge. He embodied not only strong willpower but also a high level of self-respect, unwilling to let anyone belittle him. I vividly remember when Nen-li's friends completed their climbing exercises, it was his turn. Despite the teacher's suggestion to come down after succeeding, he insisted on achieving the parallel bar exercise. Everyone was concerned as he ascended step by step. Eventually, he firmly grasped the bar. The teacher praised him, asking him to come down, but Nen-li wanted to stand on the parallel bar like everyone else. He persisted and succeeded. He stood tall, looking at his friends, his face radiant. Everyone cheered: Hooray for Nen-li! I admire the boy; despite his disability, he was determined to rise and not let anyone belittle him. I believe you all share the same positive sentiments about Nen-li as I do.

Physical Education Class

1. Today was our physical education class. The teacher took us to a tall, straight pole. We had to climb to the top and stand upright on the horizontal bar.
De-rot-xi and Co-ret-ti climbed like monkeys. Xtac-di panted heavily, his face as red as a turkey. Garo-ne climbed effortlessly, as if he could carry another person on his shoulders because he was as strong as a young ox.
2. Then came Nen-li. This friend was exempted from physical education due to a disability since childhood, but he insisted on joining like everyone else.
Nen-li started to climb with great difficulty. His face was as red as fire, and sweat dripped from his forehead. The teacher suggested he could come down, but he persisted in climbing. People were both anxious and encouraging, saying, 'Keep going! Keep going!'
Nen-li reached the point where only two fingers held the bar. 'Hooray! Just a little more!' - Everyone cheered. Shortly after, Nen-li firmly grasped the bar.
3. The teacher said, 'Well done! Now, come down!' But Nen-li wanted to stand on the bar like others.
After several attempts, he placed both elbows, then both knees, and finally both feet on the bar. He stood upright, breathing heavily but with a triumphant and radiant face, looking down at us.
Translated by Amixi (Hoang Thieu Son)
* Meaning: Self-respect helped Nen-li achieve his goal in the physical education class.
