Composing Lesson on Spelling Emily, My Child, Part 2
1. Recall - write: Emily, my child...
Emily, oh my child!
The sky is getting dark...
Father can't bring you home anymore!
When the flames flare up in the morning
Tonight, mother will come looking for you
You will embrace mother and kiss her
For father, okay
And you will tell mother:
Father left happily, please don't be sad!
Oasis
At sunset
Oh those souls
Alive, lost?
The moment our hearts shine the brightest!
We ignite our bodies
For the flame to shine brightly
The truth
Note:
Accurately, present verses 3 and 4 of the poem Emily, my child...
Be sure to write the foreign names correctly.
2. Find words containing 'ưa' or 'ươ' in the two verses below. Comment on the tone marks on those words.
Boats anchored, boats sailed with closed bows
Rain drizzled, the warm sea at the horizon
A boat carrying fish to the harbor
Smoke mixed with cloud colors like an island afar.
A child from which boat plays in the water
Spring rain freshens all sails
The sea is flat without tides
Rice smells fragrant in the midst of rainy day

Answer:
Words containing 'ưa' or 'ươ': lưa thưa, mưa, tưởng, nước, tươi, ngược, giữa.
Comment on tone marks.
In the mid-word (with no final sound), the tone mark is placed on the first letter of the main vowel. Words like lưa thưa, mưa do not have tone marks because they carry a flat tone.
In words like tưởng, nước, ngược (with final sound), the tone mark is placed on the secondary letter of the main vowel. The word tươi does not have a tone mark because it carries a flat tone.
