yet? 
Nick:
Not really. Can you suggest
anything? 
Duong: We have lots of legends, folk
tales, and fables. A popular
one is the legend of Lac
Long
Quan and Au Co. 
Nick:
Oh yeah? What's it about?

Duong: Well, it's about the origins of the
Vietnamese people. 
Nick:
Who are the main characters? 
Duong: Lac Long Quan – the dragon king
of the ocean, Au Co – a fairy, and
their sons. 
Nick:
And what's the story? 
Duong: Let me see… Lac Long Quan
married Au Co. She gave birth to
a bag of one hundred eggs, which
produced one hundred baby boys. 
Nick: One hundred baby boys? That's a lot.
 Duong: And some years later, Lac Long
Quan missed the sea so he took
fifty of their sons to the sea, and Au

REMEMBER!
 Exclamatory sentences are used to express surprise
or strong feelings. We use what in exclamatory
sentences:
 What + a / an + adjective + N (singular countable) + S



 Example: What a naughty boy he is!

What + adjective + N (uncountable/ plural countable) + S + V!
  Example:

- What naughty boys they are!
- What beautiful weather it is!

We don't always use an adjective or a subject and
a verb in exclamatory sentences.

What a handsome man (he is)!
