Heroes – The New Frontier (2/2)

This is printed version which I have used to deliver for group. Unluckily, last Friday I didnot have much time to share with group all of this because I was the last one in class :(, the last one always is the apple of all other eyes in class. All will look toward him/her and make them
embarrassed sometimes. I was in that case. Anyhow, I note down here just to share few of interesting thing about the article Heroes. This article is about 5 pages A4 long (fontsize 12pt)

1/ My favourite sentences:

- The world has changed, and so has heroism

- No-one is fooled into thinking that fame-----or even success-----is the same as heroism
(How to use the symbol ----- ?)

- Has TV----as it is so often accused of doing----diminished the possibility of heroes, and devalued the every word, by feeding us to many stories about too many celebrities, surrounded by too much hype?
(abreviation, symbol----usage, a long question..)

- Today’s potential hero (or was he/she a mere celebrity) is soon pushed aside by tomorrow’s headline
(An example of bracket usage in the sentence)

- Unsung heroes have always been a part of us, of course; not necessarily buried in an organisation, but possibly just chipping away, year after year, making personal sacrifies that enrich our lives and encourage us to aspire something beyond the everyday in our own lives.(semi-colon usage, a very long sentence, a new word Unsung)

2/ My favourite vocabularies:

+ Hero >> Heroine (women) >> Heroic(a) >> Heroism (n)

+ “sm” suffix of the noun:
- Feminism: the movement aimed at equal rights for women (feminist: a supporter of feminism)
- Heroism

+ unsung: having value that is not acknowledged not famous or acclaimed

+ accuse: (v) make a claim of wrongdoing or misbehavior against

+ diminish (v) decrease in size, extent, or range+ aspire (v) have an ambitious plan+ mere (adj) being nothing more than specified (chi3 là)+ hype (n) blatant or sensational promotion

+ celebrity (n) a widely known person (or the state of being widely honored and acclaimed)

+ triumph (n) a successful ending of a struggle or contest

+ inspire (n) truyen cam hung

+ sophisticated technology: cong nghe tinh vi, hien dai
