Hi Mai, today you look very fresh and happy!
Hi Nam, I am feeling very excited right now!
Oh, what happened, that makes you so happy?
I am preparing to go on a picnic, with friends!
Look at that huge backpack, on your back!
Haha, I brought a lot of delicious food!
What dishes did you bring, in your backpack?
I brought sandwiches, fresh cool fruit!
What delicious fruits are there Mai?
I brought red watermelon, sweet mango and guava!
Did you prepare any extra drinks?
Of course, I brewed a thermos of iced lotus tea!
Did you bring a red checkered mat, to sit on?
Of course, I brought a two meter wide mat!
So did you bring umbrellas, or raincoats?
Oh dear, I forgot to bring an umbrella!
Forgetting umbrellas in Hanoi summer, is very risky!
Because in the morning it was sunny, I was careless!
If rained on I fear ruining your beautiful backpack!
My backpack is waterproof, but still must be careful!
That is the reason we must be quick-witted!
Let's resolve scenarios, very smartly!
Hanoi summer weather, changes very fast!
That's right, just sunny then clouds gather!
Look out the window over there!
Oh look, dark clouds are gathering, so fast!
Wind is blowing hard, trees are leaning over!
Oh dear, it seems heavy rain, is about to pour!
Dark clouds cover, the whole sky now!
Like this how can a picnic, be done anymore!
Food and mats, will get all wet!
What a pity, effort preparing since morning!
Then we must, change plans right away!
Indeed, bad weather, means being flexible!
Today let's, learn change plans together!
The phrase change plans, means change plans!
That is a very important sentence, on rainy days!
Helps us adapt, in bad weather!
In addition we, have five more new words!

Nam do you remember, a picnic where it rained?
Of course I remember, that time I got rained on, wet all over!
Friends please listen to, Nam's story!
A picnic story, full of surprises!
Last Sunday, I made an appointment with friends for a picnic.
Where was the picnic location, Nam?
At Yen So Park, a very green place.
Oh, that park, rolling on grass is so nice!
I went with two close friends, Thanh and Hoa.
What did everyone bring along, Nam?
Thanh brought a guitar, and Hoa brought red sticky rice.
Prepared so thoughtfully, listening sounds so nice!
We rode motorbikes, to Yen So Park.
Was the road at that time, crowded Nam?
Sunday morning road empty, riding very relaxed.
What time did you all arrive there, Nam?
We arrived there, at nine in the morning.
Weather then, was probably light sun and cool breeze?
That's right, I spread red checkered mat by the lake.

Did everyone lay out the food yet, Nam?
We laid out sandwiches, and fruits.

Just walking to the boat dock, then what happened Nam?
Suddenly, heavy rain poured down furiously!

Raindrops big as corn kernels, tapped down heavily!
Raining heavily like that, what happened to mats and food?
Just five minutes and everything was, soaking wet already!
Oh poor guys, so where did everyone run?
We hurriedly grabbed things, ran into a wooden pavilion.
Ran into the wooden pavilion, to take shelter from rain right?

At that time I told everyone, let us change plans!
So right, raining heavily like that how could you picnic!
We planned to go home, but rain was too heavy to go home yet!
So did everyone stay at the pavilion forever?
No, we pulled into, a coffee shop!
