1. The Doctor
His clothes are spotless white
His hat, perfectly white
He smiles so cheerfully
With kindness all around.
He cares for the sick
With gentle words and care
He brings the medicine
To heal wounds fast.
He gives injections
Softly and painlessly
His hands check the pulse
Bringing comfort to all!
Oh, doctor dear
You're like a loving mother
Healing those in pain
You are a true savior.

2. Little Doctor in Training
The little one plays doctor
Hastily grabbing the stethoscope
Because Teddy Bear keeps crying
And the Brown Rabbit feels unwell.
The little one gently reassures
“Calm down, my friends, don't cry”
Let me check your health
What’s bothering you today?
Oh, the Brown Rabbit has a stomach ache
From eating too much green lettuce
I'll give you some medicine
Salt and lemon will help.
And Teddy Bear itches
Scratching all over his skin
He was bitten by mosquitoes last night
He should sleep in a mosquito net now.
My dear friends
Always listen and follow instructions
Stay healthy and strong
So you can enjoy playing.
Hooray for the “Little Doctor”
Now they’re all better
Just like adults say
Doctors are like loving mothers.

3. Bé làm hoạ sĩ
Bé muốn làm họa sĩ
Để vẽ ông mặt trời
Với những tia nắng ấm
Sáng rực khắp muôn nơi
Bé thích làm họa sĩ
Để vẽ cô và mẹ
Mẹ có đôi mắt tròn
Còn cô cười rất tươi
Bé ước làm họa sĩ
Để vẽ bạn, vẽ trường
Vẽ những gì yêu thích
Đậm hình trên tranh bé.

4. The Wish Poem
Today I fold a crane
Counting up to one hundred
Close my eyes and make a wish
Hoping for success in life
I want to be a doctor
Healing the sick and weak
Or perhaps a teacher
Caring for poor children
Maybe a mail carrier
Bringing joy every night
My feet travel far
Across the land I love
Such lovely dreams I hold
Of happiness for all
To bring joy to everyone.

5. Following Dad's Footsteps
Dad Tuấn drives the train
Dad Hùng lights the fire
They travel through many villages
Both Hùng and Tuấn are passionate
About doing jobs like their dads
They make many small chairs
Binding them together
Little Tuấn plays with trains
Hùng pretends to drive them
Blowing the banana leaf horn
To start the train's journey
It runs all around the house
The train goes: Choo! Choo!

6. The Child's Dream
The moon is shining so bright
Looking up at the sky
The child quietly wishes
To fly into outer space.
The child builds a factory
And a giant swimming pool
It's so much fun up here
Inviting friends to join
If only friends were here
From everywhere around
To play with the child
Under the starry sky.

7. The Street Sweeper
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of the bell is familiar
It’s the street sweeper’s call
Reminding every household
To bring out their trash
For the sweeper to collect.
Every evening, I remember
As soon as I hear the bell
I quickly run with my mom
To the trash truck
Mom and the sweeper
Load the trash onto the truck.
The truck fills up quickly
The sweeper bends down to push
I watch as the sweeper
Becomes drenched in sweat
But the sweeper smiles
Because the streets are clean.

8. Becoming a Doctor
"Sit still, Mom," I say
As I, the "doctor," prepare to examine
Probably from being out in the sun too long
This is a cough, a common cold
The medicine is sweet, not bitter
Take it with some hot water
If it’s an injection, it’ll hurt a lot
Then Mom will start to cry
She suddenly asks me, the "doctor"
What should she take for a runny nose?
I, the "doctor," understand the hint
Drink milk and eat some bread!

9. The Farmer
We have enough rice to eat
Thanks to the hardworking farmer who sows and plows
In the sun and rain, they never stop
Working all day, yet they stay cheerful.

10. I am a Construction Worker
I am a construction worker
Building houses strong and tall
For grandma, for mom
For sister, for dad.
The houses look amazing
With my trowel in hand
Quickly and skillfully
Just like a master mason.
I am a construction worker
Building homes with joy.
