One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water. She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there.

Soon it carried her safely to dry ground. Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to drop it. Guessing that he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net, the dove was quick to fly away to safety

Bài nghe:

1. Boy: Last week I was looking for a present for my friend Amy. She’s quite fussy, but I found a nice scarf in a clothes store. I was about to pay for it, when I noticed a £10 note on the floor. I handed it to the shop assistant and she said she’d keep it in case anyone came back for it.

2. Boy: I bought a baseball cap yesterday. But as I was leaving the shop, I noticed that the shop assistant had overcharged me. I was paying by card and I didn’t check the amount before I entered my PIN. It said £10 on the price ticket, but she charged me £15. I complained, but it didn’t help. She said, ‘You can have all the money back but I can’t sell it to you for £10.’ I bought it anyway, but I’m glad I did. It’s a really cool cap.

3 Girl: It’s always a mistake to buy things in a sale. I always ask myself, ‘Would you buy it if it was full price?’ If the answer is ‘No, probably not’, then I don’t buy it. There’s a lovely leather jacket that I want but it costs so much! I only get £6 a week from my parents so it’ll be a while before I can afford it. I’m sure Dad would lend me the money if I asked him, but I’d rather not.

Tạm dịch:

1. Cậu bé: Tuần trước mình đã tìm kiếm một món quà cho người bạn của mình Amy. Cậu ấy khá là cầu kỳ, nhưng mà mình đã tìm được một cái khăn choàng đẹp ở trong một cửa hàng quần áo. Khi mình chuẩn bị trả tiền, mình thấy một tờ 10 bảng Anh trên sàn. Mình đưa cho nhân viên bán hàng và cô ấy nó sẽ giữ nó phòng trường hợp có ai quay lại kiếm nó.

2. Cậu bé: Mình đã mua một cái nón bóng chày hôm qua, Nhưng khi mình rời cửa hàng, mình nhận ra nhân viên bán hàng đã bán đắt hơn cho mình. Mình trả bằng thẻ và mình đã không kiểm tra số tiền trước khi mình nhập mã PIN. Nó báo 10 bảng Anh trên nhãn giá nhưng cô ấy bán cho mình 15 bảng Anh. Mình đã khiếu nại, nhưng nó cũng không giúp được gì. Cô ấy nói rằng: “Em có thể lấy lại toàn bộ số tiền nhưng tôi không thể bán cho em với giá 10 bảng Anh được.” Dù sao thì mình cũng mua nó, và mình vui vì đã làm điều đó. Nó là một cái mũ rất tuyệt.

3. Cô bé: Luôn là một lỗi lầm khi mua đồ giảm giá. Mình luôn tự hỏi bản thân rằng có nên mua nó với giá gốc không. Nếu câu trả lời là “Không, có lẽ là không” thì mình sẽ không mua nó. Có một cái áo khoác da rất đáng yêu mà mình muốn nhưng nó tốn quá nhiều tiền đẻ mua! Mình chỉ có được 6 bảng Anh một tuần từ bố mẹ nên phải mất một khoảng thời gian trước khi mình có thể đủ khả năng mua nó. Mình tin là bố sẽ cho mình mượn tiền nếu mình hỏi, nhưng mình không làm thế.
