Trong tháng thứ hai của khóa học y tá, vị giáo sư của chúng tôi đã ra một câu hỏi cuối cùng hết sức bất ngờ trong bài thi: “Hãy cho biết tên người phụ nữ quét dọn trường học của chúng ta”. Một câu hỏi không thuộc chuyên môn, chắc đây chỉ là một câu hỏi đùa thôi. Tôi đã nghĩ vậy!
Thật ra tôi nhìn thấy người phụ nữ đó vài lần. Cô ấy cao, tóc sẫm màu và khoảng chừng 50 tuổi. Nhưng làm sao tôi biết được tên cô chứ? Tôi đã kết thúc bài làm của mình với câu cuối cùng bỏ trống.
Cuối giờ kiểm tra, một sinh viên đã hỏi vị giáo sư rằng: “Thưa, thầy có tính điểm không ạ?”. Giáo sư trả lời: “Chắc chắn rồi – ông nói tiếp – trong cuộc sống và công việc, các em sẽ gặp rất nhiều người. Tất cả họ đều quan trọng, họ xứng đáng được nhận sự quan tâm của các em, dù chỉ là một nụ cười hay một câu chào”.
Tôi đã không bao giờ quên bài học đó trên mỗi bước đường đời của mình sau này.

In this podcast, we talk about the following ten words:
Souvenir: Derived from the French word "souvenir," meaning "to remember," this word entered English in the late 18th century. It refers to an object or memento that serves as a reminder of a person, place, or event.

Rendezvous: Originating from the French phrase "rendez-vous," which means "meeting" or "appointment," this word entered English in the 16th century. 

Cuisine: Borrowed directly from French, "cuisine" refers to a style or method of cooking, often associated with a particular culture or region. It encompasses the preparation and presentation of food.

Fiancé/Fiancée: These terms come from the French words "fiancé" (masculine) and "fiancée" (feminine), both meaning "engaged." They are used to describe a person who is engaged to be married.

Déjà vu: This widely recognized phrase comes from French, where it literally means "already seen." It refers to the feeling or sensation that one has experienced the present situation before, even though it is new.

Encore: Borrowed from French, "encore" means "again" or "once more." It is often used in the context of a performance to request an additional or repeated act from the performer.
