What are the 4+ sample paragraphs about a favorite character for 4th-grade students in Vietnam?

Writing a paragraph about a favorite character is a task that 4th-grade students will practice in their Vietnamese language curriculum.

Students can refer to the following sample paragraphs:

Sample 1: The Character De Men in "Dế Mèn phiêu lưu ký"

My most favorite character is De Men in the work "Dế Mèn phiêu lưu ký" by To Hoai. De Men is a strong and brave cricket with a sturdy body and glossy wings. Initially, De Men was a bit arrogant and mocked his friends, but after causing the death of De Choat, he changed to become a kind cricket who helps others. The challenging adventure helped De Men to become more mature. I love De Men because he is not only courageous but also knows how to correct his mistakes to become a better person.

Sample 2: The Character Thach Sanh in the Fairy Tale "Thạch Sanh"

In the fairy tale "Thach Sanh," I really like the character Thach Sanh. Thach Sanh is a gentle, hardworking, and brave young man. Although he was orphaned from a young age, Thach Sanh lived honestly and kindly. He accomplished many great feats, defeating the Ogre, slaying the eagle, saving the princess, and helping the people escape from war. Despite being harmed by villains, Thach Sanh forgave them, showing his kind heart. I like Thach Sanh because he possesses noble qualities and always fights for justice.

Sample 3: The Character Tam in the Fairy Tale "Tấm Cám"

The character I love most is Ms. Tam in the fairy tale "Tấm Cám." Tam is a gentle and hardworking girl but is treated unfairly by her stepmother and Cam. Despite facing many difficulties, Tam always keeps her kind heart. Thanks to the help of Buddha, she overcame hardships and finally found happiness. Tam symbolizes honesty, kindness, and noble qualities of humans. I love Ms. Tam because, despite facing many injustices, she perseveres and finds her deserved happiness.

Sample 4: The Old Fisherman in "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish"

In the story "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" by A. Pushkin, I adore the character of the old fisherman. He is a gentle and simple man who is content with life. When he caught the golden fish, he did not become greedy but released it back into the sea. Although his wife repeatedly forced him to demand extravagant things from the fish, he remained kind-hearted. In the end, the greedy wife was punished, while the old man continued living a simple life by the sea. I like the old man because he is good-hearted, not greedy, and lives peacefully.

Sample 5: The Character Son Tinh in the Legend "Sơn Tinh, Thủy Tinh"

In the legend "Sơn Tinh, Thủy Tinh," I really love the character Son Tinh. Son Tinh is the mountain god, possessing extraordinary strength, capable of moving mountains and filling seas. When King Hung sought a son-in-law, Son Tinh won against Thuy Tinh and married Princess Mi Nuong. Every year, Thuy Tinh raises the waters to challenge Son Tinh but always fails. Son Tinh symbolizes the enduring and persistent spirit of humans in the struggle against natural disasters. I like Son Tinh because he is brave, talented, and always protects the country from natural disasters.

What texts may be selected for the 4th-grade Vietnamese language curriculum?

Under the General Education Program in Literature issued in conjunction with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the selection of texts for the 4th-grade Vietnamese language curriculum is as follows:

- Based on the text selection criteria (stated in Section V) and text selection requirements (stated in Section VIII), the program constructs a list of suggested texts (materials) for each grade.

This list is not exhaustive of all class materials but serves as illustrative examples of genres, text types, topics, and suitability with student awareness and psychology, aiming to meet achievement requirements in reading, writing, speaking, and listening for each grade.

To ensure convenience and flexibility in material selection, the texts are suggested according to class groups: Grades 1, 2, and 3; Grades 4 and 5; Grades 6 and 7; Grades 8 and 9; Grades 10, 11, and 12 (Text names for all grades are alphabetically ordered A, B, C).

Textbook authors can rely on this list to select and seek additional equivalent texts in genre and difficulty for compiling, provided they meet the criteria (stated in Section V) and text selection requirements (stated in Section VIII).

- The suggested texts (materials) in this list are arranged in order of type, genre (story, poetry, drama, narrative, argumentative, informational).

The number of texts in each type, genre varies, depending on the program's achievement requirements.

The list includes both new texts and texts that have been or are currently being used in existing textbooks (arranged to fit the achievement requirements of each grade), ensuring harmony between heritage and innovation. For informational texts, the list does not introduce specific text names but merely states the themes and text types for textbook authors to freely choose.

The authors listed in this directory appear only once across all three educational levels, except for some mandatory authors and works stated in the program.

To give textbook authors direction in selecting suitable texts for group classes, this list suggests allocation for even the mandatory works.
