(5) ___________ seashells in the sand while you’re cleaning the beach
Script:
Taking advantage of things around you to make useful ones for your hobbies is a good way to protect the environment. First, if you like gardening, don’t throw away used glass bottles. You can reuse them to grow herbs and flowers in. They can help you know how much water your plants need easily. Second, ice cream sticks and coloured straws are useful things to make house models. Straws are used to make the roof, and ice cream sticks are used to make the rest of the house. With a little creativity and handiness, you can have cute house models that surprise your friends. Finally, it’s fun to collect some seashells in the sand while you’re cleaning the beach. You can use them to make wind chimes and hang on the window of your bedroom.

Their song is Hoa thom buom luon. It has a beautiful melody, but they find it challenging because the lyrics are difficult for them to pronounce. With the help of Miss Thanh, their Vietnamese tutor, their performance is improving significantly. Besides singing, they also have to practise a traditional dance in order to impress the judges and the audience. Although the dance is not as difficult as the song, they still rehearse very hard.
