Answer
Today is the beginning of the week, so my classmates and I arrived at school very early. Our school is beautiful! The path is adorned with red ceramic tiles that accentuate its existing colors and decorative patterns. The sports field, with its smooth cement surface, is vibrant under the shade of the towering trees. The flagpole stands proudly in the center, and the flag flutters in the early morning breeze. Alongside the field are two rows of majestic phoenix trees. Beneath their shade, we often gather for conversations and sometimes carve our names on the worn-out brown jackets we wear during playtime. Walking along the verandas in front of the classrooms, we encounter clusters of blooming flowers, each petal releasing a subtle fragrance. Standing here and looking towards the corner of the schoolyard, the age-old banyan trees stand tall, resembling colossal pillars. This is the place where we gather to play games like marbles, badminton, jump rope, and catch.

Question 2 (page 43 Vietnamese Textbook 5): Choose to write a paragraph based on the given outline.
Answer:
Every day at 5:45 am, I wake up, freshen up, exercise, have breakfast, and then accompany my mother to school. Our school is named Kim Dong Elementary School, and I have a deep affection for it.
From a distance, our school stands out. Three charming two-story buildings form a U-shape, facing the courtyard. The upper part is adorned with bright red tiles, yellow walls, and interspersed with brown tinted glass windows.
Above the iron gate, the inscription reads: Kim Dong Elementary School. Entering the schoolyard, you are greeted by a smooth cement surface. In front of the Principal's Office, a flagpole stands tall, with the national flag fluttering proudly at the top. Rows of phoenix trees mingle with spreading banyan trees, casting refreshing shadows. Each tree is surrounded by a small white-painted fence and a stone bench underneath. Every Monday morning, we solemnly raise the national flag here. It is also the place where we play, exercise, and have fun.
The three large buildings look truly imposing. Each classroom is decorated uniformly: in front of the classroom, details such as room number, class name, and inside the room are clearly marked. Above the blackboard, a line reads: 'Study well, work well, unity is strength'. Right at the entrance, a board displays the five teachings of Uncle Ho, while in the center of the upper wall hangs a smiling portrait of Uncle Ho, casting a warm gaze over the filled classroom with affection.
Behind the classrooms lies the school garden. Here, there are many types of trees planted and cared for by us. In the middle of the garden, there is a play area with slides, swings, and a merry-go-round.
During class hours, the schoolyard is tranquil, the three buildings stand solemnly, the flagpole, and two rows of trees listen attentively to the lecture... yet when it's time for a break, the schoolyard becomes lively. On stone benches, some girls sit together, while other groups engage in activities like jump rope and hopscotch. The boys, on the other hand, play tag and badminton...
I love and take great pride in my school. Every day, I hope my school becomes larger, more beautiful, and more elegant. Whenever I meet friends, I share stories about my school, hoping they will visit. I believe that when they do, they will love the school just as I do.
