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.
