Mr. Vy: The alarm goes off at 4:30. I get up and go down to the kitchen to boil some water for my morning tea. I drink several cups of tea, have a quick breakfast and then lead the buffalo to the field. It takes me 45 minutes to get ready. I leave the house at a quarter past five and arrive in the field at exactly 5:30. I plough and harrow my plot of land and at a quarter to eight I take a short rest. During my break I often drink tea with my fellow peasants and smoke local tobacco. I continue to work from a quarter past eight till 10:30. Then I go home, take a short rest and have lunch with my family at 11:30. After lunch I usually take an hour’s rest.
Mrs. Tuyet: At 2:30 in the afternoon we go to the field again. We repair the banks of our plot of land. Then my husband pumps water into it while I do the transplanting. We work for about two hours before we take a rest. We finish our work at 6 p.m. Wc have dinner at about 7 p.m. then we watch TV and go to bed at about 10 p.m. Sometimes we go and see our neighbours for a cup of tea. We chat about our work, our children and our plans for the next crop. Although it’s a long day for us, we are contented with what we do. We love working and we love our children.
Dịch bài:
Ông Vy: Đồng hồ báo thức reo lúc 4 giờ 30. Tôi thức dậy và xuống bếp đun nước cho buổi trà sáng. Tôi uống vài tách trà, ăn điểm tâm nhanh và sau đó dẫn trâu ra đồng. Tôi mất 45 phút để chuẩn bị. Tôi rời khỏi nhà lúc 5 giờ 15 và đến ruộng đúng 5 giờ 30. Tôi cày và bừa thửa đất của tôi, và lúc 7 giờ 45 tôi nghỉ một tí. Trong lúc nghỉ, tôi thường uống trà với các bạn nông và hút thuốc lào. Tôi tiếp tục làm việc từ 8 giờ 15 cho đến 10 giờ 30. Sau đó tôi về nhà nghỉ ngơi một tí và ăn trưa với gia đình lúc 11 giờ 30. Sau bữa trưa, tôi thường nghỉ một giờ.
Bà Tuyết: Lúc 2 giờ 30 chiều, chúng tôi ra đồng một lần nữa. Chúng tôi sửa bờ cho các mảnh ruộng. Sau đó chồng tôi bơm nước vào ruộng trong khi tôi cấy lúa. Chúng tôi làm việc khoảng hai giờ trước khi chúng tôi nghỉ. Chúng tôi làm xong công việc lúc 6 giờ. Chúng tôi ăn tối lúc khoảng 7 giờ, sau đó xem tivi và đi ngủ lúc khoảng 10 giờ. Đôi khi chúng tôi sang nhà hàng xóm để uống trà. Chúng tôi tán gẫu về công việc, con cái và kế hoạch cho vụ mùa tới. Dầu ngày có dài nhưng chúng tôi hài lòng với công việc đã làm. Chúng tôi yêu lao động và yêu thương con cái mình.
