 Use your notes to tell the life story of General Vo Nguyen Giap or Vo Thi 
3 Sau to the class. Vote for the best-told story. 
 Suggested answer: 
 We’d like to talk about the life of Vo Thi Sau, a national heroine of our 
 country. She was born in 1933 in Ba Ria Province. At the age of 15, she 
 joined the Viet Minh, the league for the independence of Viet Nam from 
 French rule. In 1947, she was brave enough to carry out attacks against 
 French soldiers. She managed to kill some of them by throwing grenades at 
 them. Unfortunately, in another unsuccessful attempt in 1949, she was 
 caught and put in prison. She was sentenced to death at Con Son Prison, 
 Con Dao Island at the age of 19. Although she died nearly 80 years ago, 
 many generations in Viet Nam still admire Vo Thi Sau for her great bravery 
 and sacrifice for the independence of our country. CONSOLIDATION
