Gordon was hungry. He opened the refrigerator. There must be something in here to eat, he thought. There was-a single hot dog.
He took it out of its package and put a small frying pan onto the stove’s gas burner. He turned on the heat. Then he poured a little bit of vegetable oil into the pan. He sliced the hot dog in half lengthwise. When the oil got hot, he put the two halves in the pan. About a minute later, he flipped each half over. After another minute, he took the hot dog out of the pan.
Gordon put two slices of bread into the toaster. This was tasty and healthy bread. The first ingredient listed was organic sprouted wheat. The first ingredient in ordinary bread is usually unbleached flour.
When the toast popped up, he put mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup on one slice. Then he added two slices of onion. On top of the onions, he placed the hot dog. On top of the hot dog, he put a couple of slices of apple. Then he added some bits of hot green chile, and then put the top piece of toast onto the chile bits.
Ahh, what a sandwich, he thought, as he sat down to eat.

Admin must be kidding! Henry just try to finish Ms chitam as soon :). To be honest, there were some words Henry don't know the meaning, Henry just guét them from the context! :) Tonight, Henry'll try to turn Ms chitam today's homerork! :) Cause I have to go on for my part time job! :). You know, students! Have a nice weekend, everyone! :)
Hello cochin! It was really nice to talk to you! Yeah, if we just guess meaning from the context, we can understand the word's meaning in English, but we can't explain it into Vietnamese, right? :) Nice weekend, everyone ! :)
Avoid reading anything that you know would be too difficult for you. Reading should be a pleasure so try to read articles in general magazines, light hearted mysteries. Keeping that way, one day you would find that you would acquire a large vocabulary without the need to turn to the dictionary all the time.
utdet mạn phép nhắc Henry 1 chút: the word "guest" henry typed,it must be "guess", "explant" must be "explain". Am I right, Ms. chitam? have a good time, everyone.
@ Ms cochin, I hope I could go that far! :) Because my vocabulary is just a sand in the sea, so far. But there are some difficulties in reading directly like this, such as: how can we know the meaning we guess was corrected? or, how can we remember too many new words at the same time? and so on...

3. he goes half a block up the street to the house on the corner: Ông ta lái lên một nửa quãng đường đến căn nhà ngay góc đường. a block: dẫy nhà giữa hai đoạn đường
Example: He opened the blinds so that he could get more sunlight into the kitchen.
The blinds: Một loại màn cửa (nghĩa trong bài ESL 8: Pete's Sharp Knife), không thể dịch là mù.
