THINK!

Do you know any poems? Have you ever written one?

(Đọc và nghe bài thơ. Chọn các phương án đúng trong phần tóm tắt dưới đây.)

Be yourself

(A)

When you’re looking in the mirror, tell me, what do you see?

It isn’t always easy to find your own identity

At times things seem so certain; at times they don’t

Sometimes people lose themselves before they find their way again.

(B)

You might say that I’m a rebel ’cos of how I look

You might say that I’m a nerd for reading all those books

So … Dreamer? Leader? Loner? Lover?

Only I know what I am –

Don’t judge this book by its cover.

(C)

Be yourself – we can’t all be the same

Be yourself – you’re more than just a name

Be yourself – I’ll give respect to you

I’ll be myself, so please respect me, too.

(D)

Just like the landscape changes colour between day and night

At different times we see ourselves in a different light

So if I wear black clothes, it doesn’t make me a poser

And if I never win a race, it doesn’t make me a loser

It’s what’s inside that counts and it’s not always simple

Remember labels are for clothes; they’re not for people.

(E)

And if bullies call you names, don’t listen to their hate

Fall down seven times, stand up eight

Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd

You yourself know you’ve got reasons to be proud.

(F)

So I think you should know that I might not conform to

Your ideas about me; it’s best that I warn you

That if you take me as you find me, I’ll be more than happy

But if you don’t, it’s not my fault – I won’t say I’m sorry

To be myself – we can’t all be the same

I am myself – a lot more than a name.

Be yourself, I’ll give respect to you

I’ll be myself, so please respect me, too.

4. USE IT! Choose your favourite lines from the poem. Compare with a partner. Say why you feel that way.

(Thực hành! Chọn những câu em thích nhất trong bài thơ. So sánh với bạn bên cạnh. Nói lý do tại sao bạn cảm thấy như vậy.)

A: I like this line. I think it has a strong message: it doesn’t matter what others think of you.

(Tôi thích câu này. Tôi nghĩ nó mang một thông điệp mạnh mẽ: người khác nghĩ gì về bạn không quan trọng.)

B: I like these two lines because they have the best rhyme.

(Tôi thích hai câu này vì chúng có vần điệu hay nhất.)

Hướng dẫn trả lời:

I resonate with these lines because they emphasize the importance of self-awareness and the dangers of making assumptions based solely on outward appearances. “Only I know what I am” speaks to the uniqueness of each individual's experiences, emotions, and identity. It highlights the idea that only the person themselves truly understands their own thoughts, feelings, and motivations.

“Don’t judge this book by its cover” reinforces the idea that appearances can be deceiving and urges against forming snap judgments about others based solely on superficial characteristics. It serves as a powerful reminder to look beyond outward appearances and stereotypes, encouraging empathy, understanding, and open-mindedness.
