4.5.1 Reading
LIFE’S GREAT!
Văn and I studied at the same Viet Nam Maritime College five years ago. We were classmates. We lived in a building near a river. Our room was on the second floor. It wasn’t very large and comfortable, but it suited the student’s life. There was a table in the middle of the room. The chairs were around the table. That table was used for learning only, because we had meals at the canteen of school.
In the morning, we got up at 6:30, had a small breakfast and went to class. Our learning time started at 7:00 and finished at 11:30. In the afternoon, we could stay home if there were no practice lesson in workshop. Evenings were the time for us to do homework or enjoy some entertainments such as: playing chess, going to English club, seeing movies, etc.
Now, we are Vietnamese sailors. We sail on the same cargo vessel. She carries cargoes from Sài Gòn port to other ports in Vietnam. Our time depends on our ship is underway or not and the watches that we have to keep. The sailors’ life is not as wonderful as the school life, but we can earn living ourselves. Life’s great!

+ When the verb ends in a consonant + y, we change -y to -ied: carry – carried; try – tried.
- Pronunciation:
+ After a vowel sound or a voiced consonant we pronounce the final -d [d]: pulled [puld]; lived [livd].
+ After a voiceless consonant (p, k, tʃ, ʃ, s) we pronounce the final -d [t]: stopped [stɔpt]; looked [lukt]; watched [wɔtʃt]; missed [mist].
+ After -t or -d we pronounce the final syllable [id]: started [sta:tid]; needed [ni:did].
