II. Sample speech expressing opinions about the character Thị Mầu:
In today's discussion on the portrayal of the character Thị Mầu in the excerpt from 'Quan Âm Thị Kính' ('Thị Mầu Goes to the Temple'), opinions diverge. Some view Thị Mầu as indifferent and malicious, while others assert that she is someone brave enough to live authentically, more deserving of sympathy than blame. Allow me to express my viewpoint. I sincerely hope that you and my peers pay attention.
Do you agree with the first or the second opinion? For me, I align with the first opinion.
Firstly, Thị Mầu appears in the text with an air of indifference and licentiousness. Her every word and action reflects this. Despite the temple being a place of tranquility and solemnity, Thị Mầu shows no respect. Upon seeing a handsome young boy, she immediately feels lustful, pondering to herself, 'Who is this as beautiful as a shooting star?' She lavishes praise on Kính Tâm, saying 'Who wouldn't come to this temple/ With three high beams and straight eyebrows.' She even teasingly sings to the young boy, 'Stop running, let me hit you. Who sees a girl and runs away like that!' causing the boy to flee in fear. Feeling her words were not persuasive enough, not touching hearts, Thị Mầu goes as far as to grab the boy's hand and offer to sweep the yard in his place. Thị Mầu is indeed a bold, indifferent woman, deserving of condemnation in the old society for not knowing how to preserve her dignity. Through the character of Thị Mầu, the folk author has demonstrated a sarcastic, critical attitude towards women lacking in morals.
Dear teacher and classmates, my presentation concludes here. I thank you all for your attention. I eagerly await feedback to further improve my prepared speech.
