1
I have seen the ocean.
2
I am a disabled little boy named Nereus.
3
My mother, fearing that I would bring shame upon her and be ridiculed by others,
4
kept me confined to our home until I was eight years old.
5
My only view of the outside world was the small courtyard where I occasionally glimpsed a few birds darting by,
6
unaware of where they were headed.
7
When I turned eight, my father passed away.
8
Not long after, my mother remarried,
9
taking a retired sailor from the town as her new husband.
10
My mother was forty at the time,
11
while my stepfather was over sixty.
12
My stepfather asked me to call him uncle,
13
and said to me, Nereus,
14
come here, let me take you out for a walk.
15
No, no, I replied, too frightened to move and shrinking away.
16
Come outside and see.
17
There are many beautiful and interesting things out there.
18
I confessed, I'm ugly and crippled and I limp when I walk.
19
Mother says people will laugh at me.
20
As I spoke, I burst into tears.
21
Don't worry, Nereus, my stepfather said,
22
raising his strong, though aging,
23
sailor's fist in a mock threatening gesture.
24
If anyone says anything, I'll give them a piece of my mind.
25
I laughed through my tears.
26
The next day, my stepfather took me to town.
27
It was my first time out,
28
and I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people.
29
I was so frightened and embarrassed that I kept my head down and clung tightly to his coat like a tail.
30
Nereus, lift your head up!
31
What are you afraid of? he shouted,
32
drawing attention from everyone, especially the other children my age.
33
Come here and meet Nereus.
34
He's your new friend, he said warmly,
35
introducing me to the other kids.
36
They eagerly came over asking questions and inviting me to play.
37
Winter arrived and my stepfather's asthma worsened.
38
Many nights, unable to sleep,
39
he would call me to help him to the stove for warmth.
40
In his labored coughs he would tell me stories about the ocean.
41
The sea is blue, as blue as the sky, and salty like salt.
42
It is vast and deep.
43
There are fish in the sea,
44
both big and small, and boats on the water, both large and small.
45
I was captivated by his stories and timidly asked,
46
can I see the ocean, uncle?
47
Of course, When you're older at 15,
48
I'll take you to see the sea.
49
My eyes lit up with the thought of one day seeing the ocean.
50
As I grew older I learned many things and became more knowledgeable.
51
My stepfather encouraged me to help with household chores every day.
52
Since schools did not accept disabled children I studied with him at home,
53
learning five new words and a memorized passage each day while he continued to tell me stories of the boundless ocean.
54
The sea is blue, as blue as… Eventually,
55
my mother remarried again, this time to a tailor from the end of the alley,
56
leaving me and my stepfather to fend for ourselves.
57
His health continued to decline,
58
but he still took me around,
59
encouraging me to shop on my own,
60
helping me with household chores and guiding me in my studies.
61
Whenever I accomplished a small task,
62
he would celebrate with great enthusiasm,
63
praising me, Nereus, you did so well.
64
You've achieved something.
65
We promised each other to go to the sea the following summer when I would turn 15.
66
He constantly reminded me to prepare for the trip,
67
saying, I need to teach you everything before we go to the sea.
68
The final winter was long and harsh.
69
My stepfather lay bedridden, weakened by his asthma,
70
while I navigated the snowy streets of the poor town,
71
seeking doctors, buying medicine, and managing all household tasks.
72
In those moments, I felt I was growing up.
73
One spring morning, my stepfather called me to his bedside and said slowly,
74
Nereus, I won't make it.
75
There's something I must tell you.
76
A year before retiring, the doctor told me that my condition must stay away from the sea.
77
So, today and forever, I cannot take you to the ocean.
78
I deceived you, and I hope you can forgive me.
79
I was deeply disappointed, having prepared for so many years only to face this.
80
I cried as I did years ago with him.
81
Uncle, and that very night he,
82
my only family, passed away, leaving me alone.
83
From then on I worked hard to make a living.
84
Every time I earned money,
85
I stood silently before my stepfather's shrine,
86
reflecting on the meaning of seeing the ocean he had spoken of.
87
I felt as if I were communicating with him.
88
Uncle, I have seen the ocean,
89
I have seen the sea, truly I have.
90
The story of an hour On a gloomy rainy day,
91
Louise Mallard, a woman in her mid-thirties,
92
receives the devastating news that her husband,
93
Brentley Mallard, has died in a tragic train accident.
94
This delicate information is relayed to her by her husband's friend,
95
who is aware of her heart condition and approaches the task with great caution.
96
Upon hearing the news, Louise is initially overwhelmed with grief,
97
her heart heavy with sorrow.
98
She retreats to her room, seeking solace and solitude.
99
As she sits in an armchair near the window,
100
her tears begin to subside and a different emotion starts to stir within her.
101
Louise gazes out at the world outside,
102
the trees now budding with fresh leaves,
103
the sky breaking through the clouds and the sunlight streaming through.
104
In this moment, she begins to experience a profound and unexpected sense of liberation.
105
This newfound freedom feels exhilarating to Louise.
106
She realises that, despite her deep love for her husband,
107
his death opens the door to a future where she can live for herself,
108
unencumbered by the constraints of marriage.
109
The prospect of living solely for her own happiness and desires,
110
without the constant sacrifices she had made for her spouse,
111
fills her with a joyous anticipation.
112
Louise's emotions shift dramatically from sorrow to a delicate euphoria.
113
She imagines a life where she is free to make her own decisions,
114
live independently, and pursue her own dreams.
115
This fleeting moment of personal freedom and self-realization is both thrilling and transformative for her.
116
However, this brief taste of liberation is abruptly and cruelly cut short.
117
As Louise descends the stairs,
118
her husband, Brentley, who had been far from the accident and is very much alive,
119
walks through the front door.
120
Louise, still caught up in the bliss of her imagined future,
121
is struck by the sudden return to her previous reality.
122
The shock of seeing her husband alive and the abrupt collapse of her newfound freedom prove too much for her fragile heart.
123
She falls instantly and draws her last breath.
124
Doctors arrive and quickly determine that Louise's death was caused by a heart disease,
125
the joy that kills.
126
Nonetheless, they have misinterpreted the nature of her emotions,
127
failing to recognize that her heart had been overwhelmed not by the joy of seeing her husband alive,
128
but by the devastating realization that her brief moment of freedom was lost forever.
129
The Father Who Brought the Lunchbox It was already 1pm,
130
and yet my father had not brought the lunchbox.
131
I manage a factory with significant work pressure.
132
The factory doesn't serve lunch,
133
so I asked my father to bring me a meal.
134
Partly for cost-saving reasons, partly because my father's cooking is excellent.
135
My colleagues had tasted his cooking and praised it highly.
136
But in their praise, I felt a trace of disdain.
137
Indeed, disdain.
138
My father, who only knows how to cook and endure hardships without knowing how to enjoy life.
139
Could this be why my mother left us when I was young for another man?
140
She could find a new husband,
141
but I could never find a new father.
142
It was 2pm.
143
My father still hadn't arrived.
144
With a whole day free,
145
he should have just been cooking a bit of food.
146
Recently, his cooking has been haphazard.
147
Yesterday, he didn't bring any meat.
148
The day before, he arrived at 1pm.
149
On another occasion, he forgot the salt.
150
Waiting all afternoon, he still hadn't come.
151
At 7pm, a phone call came from the police station.
152
Your father is here with us.
153
He's lost.
154
Please come and pick him up.
155
Lost?
156
How could my father get lost?
157
When I arrived at the police station,
158
I saw my father still holding the lunchbox.
159
Seeing me, he hurried to give it to me.
160
Eat your lunch.
161
What was he doing carrying a lunchbox all this way?
162
I was on the verge of losing my temper when the police officer said,
163
Someone noticed this elderly man sweating and wandering around.
164
When asked where he was going, he couldn't remember.
165
When asked where he lived or his name,
166
he couldn't remember that either.
167
We called you because we found your contact card on him.
168
Your father has developed age-related dementia.
169
You need to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't wander off.
170
My father had dementia.
171
Only now did I realize that to bring me the lunchbox,
172
he had wandered around all afternoon.
173
The dementia had made him forget where he needed to go,
174
where he lived, who he was.
175
Yet he still remembered to bring the lunchbox for his son.
176
He'd been hungry all afternoon but kept the lunchbox intact.
177
The food was cold and unappetizing but he held it out to me.
178
As a grown man I finally couldn't control my tears and burst into sobs.
179
The Irretrievable Childhood When I was 13 years old and my younger brother was 10,
180
on a weekend our father took us to the circus.
181
But just at lunchtime a phone call came in demanding that Dad urgently go into town to handle some business.
182
Although we were very disappointed,
183
we prepared ourselves mentally for the fact that we would no longer be able to see the circus.
184
However, we overheard Dad's response, which was quite straightforward.
185
No, no way, I can't go.
186
You'll have to wait.
187
Call back next week.
188
Dad returned to the dining table,
189
and Mom smiled at him and said,
190
Actually, this circus crew will return, dear.
191
I know, Dad replied, but their childhood will never come back.
192
Years have passed.
193
I still remember that exact moment.
194
It was in those serene moments that I felt the sweet taste of familial love.
195
It's a bond that can never fade,
196
be wasted, or be lost.
197
It will stay with us throughout our entire lives.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
