Answer:
At exactly 7:05 AM, Teacher Thủy embraced her bag standing in front of the classroom. Beyond 30 years old, she exuded grace in her black trousers and a neatly patterned floral shirt. As the school bell chimed three times, she entered the class. Standing upright, she flashed a bright smile at us as the entire class stood in respectful greeting. Placing her bag on the desk, she walked around the class for inspection, commending the cleanliness of the duty team for the day.
Today's lesson was about reading the poem 'Journey of the Beehive.' Holding a chalk, she wrote the title of the poem and the author's name on the board. Then she read the sample, emphasizing on proper pronunciation. Quỳnh, Thông, and Vĩnh were called to read, receiving praise and good scores from the teacher. Subsequently, she guided us in appreciating and studying the poem, discussing the journey and the places the bees visit in search of flowers. She explained that the bee symbolizes the spirit of hard work, patience, accumulation, and creativity:
Connecting the wild forest to the distant sea
Land finds sweetness everywhere
The teacher remarked: Flowers bloom and then wither; after this season, there will be another season of blossoms. The bee's preciousness lies in accumulating sweet nectar for humans after each flowering season:
The swarm of bees safeguards for humanity
The seasons of flowers have faded away over the months.
The captivating gaze, infectious smile, melodic voice, and insightful teachings of Teacher Thủy during the Reading class linger in my memory.
