AMERICAN LITERATURE 1&2
Part 1. Write a short professional bio data about your profession,
responsibilities, education, interests, and current work (no more than 150
words).
My name is Pham Thi Hoai. I have been working at Nghean Oncology Hospital as
a Phamacist since 2020.
In this essay, I want to talk about a special job – pharmacist. A pharmacist is a
person who reviews prescriptions and dispenses suitable drugs for patients. A
pharmacist must know every single detail about the drugs: ingredients, effects, side
effects and the dosage. This job requires excellent knowledge about drugs, all of
medical terminology. Every pharmacist must have a Doctor degree of Pharmacy
and a license in order to work. Despite all the hardship of pharmacy, there is a joy
of making people feel better physically. Working in pharmacy can also mean
contributing to the science of drugs. Overall, pharmacy is one of the most
important jobs in the world and I hope it will continue to grow.
Part 2: Choose one of these questions which are given in the task and answer
it in a 300-words essay
8.In the satirical essay titled "Advice to Youth" what, exactly, is the advice
which Twain offers to the younger generation?
Mark Twain is most well known for his humorist approach to his literature, usually
utilizing Horatian satire. The use of such light satire allows for Twain to approach
realism differently than most conventional speakers would when instructed to
deliver a speech to the youth of America.
In his "Advice to Youth," Mark Twain is poking fun at the solemnity and high
moral seriousness of traditional graduation day speechesAs someone with an acute
awareness of the way that language can be distorted for the purposes of selfinterest, Twain uses his essay to expose the hypocrisy that often lurks behind highflown rhetoric.
Twain evidently wants young graduates to share his suspicion towards the
bromides and platitudes that those in positions of authority so often hand down to
young peopleAlthough the way in which Twain goes about achieving this objective
-through sarcasm, hyperbole, and tongue-in-cheek humor may be light-hearted,
there's a serious message behind all the badinage. Throughout his long life, Twain
has learned a thing or two about authority figures and would dearly love for the
younger generation to receive the benefit of his wisdom.
In preparing his readers for the rigors of adult life, Twain believes that it is
essential to give them some cold, unvarnished truth about what the real world is
really like. To this end, he gives the impression that lying is an important skill to
have if one is to get ahead in life. Once again, one can see an important lesson-how
to deal with life and all its many challenges delivered with wry humor, pretty much
an epitome of Twain's entire approach in "Advice to Youth."
