Can you guess which novel this film was adapted from? And how this novel is called in Vietnamese? Try to do my quiz later. Have fun!

Án mạng ở Venice có tựa gốc là A haunting in Venice. Đầu tiên, mình coi phim vì quá thích nhân vật thám tử Poirot trong truyện của nữ văn sĩ Agatha Christie. 

Thứ hai, phim trinh thám mà hồi hộp từ đầu tới cuối. Lâu lâu bị hù kiểu kinh dị hơn kinh dị.

Thứ ba, mình thấy có Dương Tử Quỳnh đóng nên đi coi thôi. 

Phim không theo mô típ phá án, suy luận thông thường mà là một chuỗi những hành động của những con người toan tính, kể cả một đứa bé.

Nhân vật nào cũng có nỗi niềm riêng. Người mình tưởng là bạn lại không thực sự thật lòng với mình. Kẻ mình tưởng xấu tính ai dè lại đàng hoàng đến lạ. 

Đứa trẻ trưởng thành trước tuổi mình lại tưởng ngây thơ. 

Ngay đến cả ngài Hercule Poirot, người được mệnh danh là cỗ máy suy luận, con người của lý trí mà cũng phải bắt đầu tin vào tâm linh.

Những cú twist, hay nói đúng hơn là thắt mở đúng chỗ từ từ vén màn bí mật cho người đọc. Phim không hoàn toàn giống truyện nhưng hay ở chọn lọc chi tiết đắt giá. 

Người mẹ tận tụy hóa ra lại không phải người hiền lành như vỏ bọc bên ngoài. Chú bé ngây thơ hóa ra lại là người thâm sâu tới khó dò. Người cha bất tài lại yêu con vô hạn. Bà đồng nhập hồn nhưng hóa ra chỉ là mánh khóe được che giấu tinh vi.

Mỗi sắc thái, mỗi nhân vật như gia vị trong hành trình đi tìm chân lý của thám tử Poirot. 

Tưởng là đã bắt được nhưng thì ra nhân quả tuần hoàn.

Things Parents Say: Real English Conversations Podcast On Italki

f you're going to exercise, you have to stretch, right?

Well, maybe not.

The answer might depend on your goals, and what you mean by "stretch."

There are different types of stretches.

In what are known as "static" stretches, you hold a single position for perhaps as long as 60 to 90 seconds. These stretches are great for increasing flexibility.

But there are also "dynamic" stretches, where you repeatedly — but carefully — move your joints through their full range of motion.

Expert opinion on how to use these stretches has changed over the years. But it's now generally believed that dynamic stretching is best before you exercise, while static stretching is better after.

As Alisa Bowman writes for the Mayo Clinic, dynamic stretching helps improve blood flow and joint mobility, which gets your body ready to exercise. Studies have even found that dynamic stretching before exercise can improve your performance.

Meanwhile, some research has found that static stretching can temporarily weaken your muscles, which is why it's generally no longer recommended before certain sports — and especially not for high-performance athletes.

Instead, static stretches are typically recommended for helping to relax your muscles after exercise. Since you've been moving and increasing blood flow to your joints and muscles, you'll actually be more flexible, so you'll get more benefit from those stretches.

But while you may have been told that stretching will reduce soreness after you exercise, research has found that it really doesn't make much difference.

You've also probably been told to stretch to avoid injuries. But research doesn't seem to support that either — especially for static stretching.

Writing for WebMD, Sonya Collins says that, as long as you stretch sometime, it's fine if you don't do it around the time you exercise.

In fact, some experts say if you're short on time, it's better to exercise without doing any stretching than to cut your workout short!
