II. Sample speech reference presenting opinions about the character Thị Mầu
Coming to the Speaking and Listening practice session: Discussing an issue with differing opinions today, I would like to present my presentation on the topic: 'Opinions on the character Thị Mầu in the excerpt: Thị Mầu Visits the Temple (Quan Âm Thị Kính) as indifferent and ill-natured. Conversely, another opinion asserts that Thị Mầu is brave enough to live authentically, more pitiable than blameworthy. Presenting my opinion on this issue.' I invite you all to listen attentively.
After reading the excerpt 'Thị Mầu Visits the Temple' (from the play 'Quan Âm Thị Kính'), people often present two viewpoints: first, Thị Mầu is indifferent and ill-natured; second, Thị Mầu is a woman who dares to express herself, more pitiable than blameworthy. So, do you agree with which viewpoint? As for me, I agree with the first opinion.
Thị Mầu, as depicted in the text, exudes an air of nonchalance and audacity. Her personality is evident through her words and actions, which often defy the solemn atmosphere of the temple. Despite the solemnity of the place, Thị speaks inappropriately. Upon seeing the handsome young lad, she instantly becomes infatuated, wondering to herself, 'Who could be as beautiful as a star here?' Thị doesn't hesitate to praise, 'Whoever comes here to the temple/ With a neck three spans long, eyebrows arched'. Feeling that her words are not persuasive enough to move Kính Tâm, she suggests that Tiểu Kính step in to beat him instead. She even teasingly remarks, 'Let me beat you. Who sees a girl and runs away like that?' causing the young lad to flee in fear. Thị Mầu's behavior is inappropriate for the temple, contrary to ethical standards. In the ancient society, Thị Mầu would have been condemned for not upholding the chastity of a woman of 'three obediences and four virtues.'
It can be said that the excerpt 'Thị Mầu Goes to the Temple' reveals the mocking and condemning attitude of the folk author towards women like Thị Mầu, who are frivolous and unattractive.
Ladies and gentlemen, my presentation concludes here. I thank everyone for following along. I look forward to hearing your feedback to further improve the prepared speech. Thank you very much!
