GETTING STARTED
The diary of Dang Thuy Tram

Mark: Hi, Nam. Your book must be very interesting. What are
you reading?
Nam: I'm reading a really good book in English called
Last Night I Dreamed of Peace: The Diary of
Dang Thuy Tram.
Mark: Dang Thuy Tram? Who is she?
Nam: She was born in Hue in 1942. She studied medicine in
Ha Noi, and volunteered to join the army at the age
of 24, working as a surgeon during the resistance war
against the US.
Mark: That's when she started her diary, isn't it?
Nam: Yes. She wrote her diary while she was working in a field
hospital in Quang Ngai Province. The diary contains
personal accounts of her experiences during the war,
and shows her love for her family and country.

Mark: Wow! It sounds interesting. Is she still alive?
Nam: Unfortunately, she was killed by the enemy while
she was doing her duty in the jungle in Quang Ngai
Province. She was only 27 then.

Mark: Oh, that's really sad. But how did
people find her diary?

Nam: An American soldier found it and
saved it from being burnt. Then more
than 30 years after Tram's death,
a copy was returned to her mother.
The diary was published in Viet Nam
in 2005. It has also been translated
into several other languages.

Past simple vs. Past continuous

Past simple

Past continuous

We use the past simple to describe:
• a completed action in the past.
Example: 1 read a good book last
night,
• main events in a story.
Example Mary read a few pages of
her book and went to bed.

We use the past continuous to describe:
• an action which was happening at a specific
point of time in the past.
Example 1 was reading a good book at 10 p.m.
last night.
• the settings of a story.
Example It was raining heavily outside. Mary
read a few pages of her book and went to bed.

• When one action in the past happens in the middle of another, we use the past simple to
talk about the shorter action, and the past continuous for the longer action.
Example: 1 was reading a book when the phone rang.
• When two or more actions in the past are happening at the same time, we use the past
continuous for both/all.
Example While 1 was reading a book, my mother was watching TV

STEVE JOBS' LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS
A.
Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February, 1955 in San Francisco, USA. His biological parents
were not married and gave him up for adoption. He was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs.
In 1971, Jobs met Steve Wozniak, who was five years older than him, but they bonded over
their love of electronics. After high school jobs attended Reed College in Oregon, but found the
classes boring and dropped out after six months.
B.
When Jobs was 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers in Jobs' family garage with money
they got by selling Jobs' van and Wozniak's scientific calculator. By making computers smaller,
cheaper, and accessible to everyday users, their company became a huge success and sales

quickly increased.
Although Jobs left Apple in 1985, he returned to his post in 1997 when the company needed
new ideas. He helped invent new products such as the iMac, the iBook for students, the iPod
music player, and iTunes music software. In 2007, he introduced the touch-screen iPhone which
changed the way phones were used. Apple products were not only designed to be cutting-edge
technology, but also to be stylish and easy to use.
In additionjobs contributed to computer animation. In 1986, he bought a small company, which
later became Pixar Animation Studios. It produced the first full-length computer-animated film
Toy Story, followed by other blockbusters.
C.
In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He fought the disease for
several years, and stopped working in August, 2011. Two months later, he passed away.
He had four children, three with his wife of 20 years and one from a previous relationship.
On an Apple web page, a statement reads, 'Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius,
and the world has lost an amazing human being.'
