• Meaning:
• Comparison helps to make the image more vivid, attractive and easy to visualize.
• Using the comparison "Youth" with "cool stars" shows the brilliance of the youth in contributing to building the country, bringing confidence, love and pride.

II. WRITING

Question 1.

1. Opening paragraph

- Problem introduction: The responsibility of the young generation in following in the footsteps of previous generations.

2. Body paragraph

a. Explanation

- Responsibility: is what each person must do and be aware of those actions.

=> The younger generation must take responsibility for following in the footsteps of previous generations.

b. Analysis

* Why does today's young generation need to take responsibility for following in the footsteps of previous generations?

- Our ancestors have built and preserved the country for thousands of years. We have inherited independence based on the blood and bones of many generations. Therefore, we need to have the responsibility to promote and build the country to become increasingly rich and strong.

- For the young generation, following in the footsteps of previous generations is not only contributing to building the country but it is also an opportunity to develop oneself, accumulate experience, and create opportunities for oneself.

- The responsibility of building and developing the country is the common task of everyone.

* What should the young generation do to follow in the footsteps of previous generations?

- For students, we need to try hard to study, improve ourselves and accumulate a lot of knowledge.

- Not afraid of difficulties and challenges, dare to take risks to gain more experiences and accumulate experience for yourself.

- Be aware and deeply grateful to previous generations who have contributed to building the country.

=> Meaning: Help each person live with ideals and purposes, be responsible for their duties and obligations to the country, thereby helping the country become stronger and stronger.

c. Antithesis

- Many young people still live dependently, have no desire to learn and contribute to society.

- Selfish lifestyle, only thinking about oneself and not wanting to improve has hindered the development of today's generation.

3. Conclusion

- The responsibility of the younger generation in following in the footsteps of previous generations is important.

- Self-relation: As a student, you need to be responsible for what your ancestors have built, you must try harder to practice to be worthy of inheriting and promoting the achievements of previous generations.

Sentence 2.

I. Introduction:

* Introducing the author and work:

- Author: Nguyen Minh Chau is a talented prose writer of modern Vietnamese literature. Before the eighties, he wrote in the epic direction, leaning towards lyricism and romance. Later, he turned to worldly inspiration with ethical issues and philosophy of life. He is an elite pioneer, a pioneer in the literature of the renovation period.

- The work: "The boat offshore" is one of the stories that boldly bears the philosophical narrative style of Nguyen Minh Chau, expressing his profound contemplations on art and life.

* Overview of the discussion issue: The first discovery of the character Phung, connecting the image of the boat in the excerpt with the image of the boat struggling with the stormy waves in the middle of the lagoon described in the story to draw a message about the relationship between art and life.

II. Body:

1. Analysis of the excerpt - The first discovery of the character Phung.

a. Introduce the location of the excerpt.

The excerpt is in the first part of the work when the character Phung, after many days of searching, finally discovers a "heavenly precious scene".

b. Analysis: First discovery - about the absolute beauty and goodness:

- The morning seascape in the morning mist appears beautiful, as perfect as an ink painting.

- The vast scene of the ocean with the image of a poetic, peaceful boat appearing in the middle of the milky white fog mixed with a bit of pink due to the sunlight.

- Several adults and children sat still as statues on the curved roof facing the shore.

-> The artist's delicate feelings and eyes have discovered the beauty of the picture of life that he believes is a "heaven-sent scene". It is a miraculous picture given to man by nature and life; a rare product of nature that every photographer in his life longs to witness. That is why the artist feels moved, that happiness is the happiness of discovery and creation, of feeling the wonderful beauty.

- In a moment, Phung realized the truth of perfection. It turns out that standing before the beauty, before the perfection, harmony, and romance of life, the artist's soul can be purified to become clearer.

=> The first discovery of the character Phung shows us the image of a true artist, an artist with a sensitive, delicate soul, who loves beauty and appreciates beauty. For him, beauty is morality. However, from this discovery, we also realize that the character Phung's view is a bit one-sided, full of rosy colors, full of beautiful things without experience and a multi-dimensional view.

2. Connect with the image of a boat struggling against the stormy waves in the lagoon described in the story to draw a message about the relationship between art and life.

- The image of the boat in the excerpt: is a beautiful, simple, and somewhat poetic image. This is the image symbolizing art and the beauty of life.

- The image of a boat struggling in the lagoon: is a realistic image showing the difficulties and hidden corners of life.

-> Looking at the phenomenon, these are two opposing images, but in reality, both boats aim for their own values: one value is easy to see, easy to see, the other value needs to be dug deep, searched for to be discovered. Therefore, when an artist stands before beauty, he must not simply see it but also see through it.

=> Message about the relationship between art and life: Art must be attached to and originate from life, must not be far from life and must return to serve life. And for the artist, it is also necessary to have a keen eye, sympathetic to all events of life, in order to not only discover the superficial beauty but also discover the hidden, thorny beauty of this life.

III. Conclusion:

- Summarize the content value and artistic value of the work.

- Affirm the writer's position.
