THE READING CLASS

The Reading class on 26/3 is really interesting. Ms Hoa told us many funny stories about the stereotype, a fixed idea about a type of peson or thing,which is often not true in reality.Especially, I like the story about "The sinking ship", it's really amusing. The story is about the ship which was shinking and the captain was very anxious because he didn't know how to persuade the passengers to jump out of the ship to save it from sinking. A sailor decided to take this responsibility. First, he talked to the Russian: " Jumping out of the ship is a revolutionary action". The Russian who always love revolution jumped out of the ship immediately. Next, he talked to the German: "Jumping out of the ship is an order", so they also did what he said. Then, he talked to the English: "Jumping out of the ship is a new sport". The English love sport very much, so they also did it. Afterwards, he met the France and talked to them: "Jumping out of the ship is an action proving your romantic love." And can you guess what happened? All of the passengers did what the tailor said and the ship was saved. The story talked about the characteristics of nations in the world that everyone believe that is true. But it's often not true at all. So, it is our "stereotype". After her stories, I find this word easy to understand. Hei, there is also a funny thing I want to tell you. When the teacher was teaching, a "beautiful voice" of someone in other class singing loudly made all the class feel very humorous.So, do you agree with me that the reading class is really exciting?
