Vi: Mai hít sâu một hơi.
En: Mai takes a deep breath.

Vi: Cô phải quyết định nhanh chóng.
En: She must decide quickly.

En: Instead of waiting, Mai decides to use what is available.

Vi: Cô lấy giấy và bút, vẽ minh hoạ bằng tay.

En: Seeing this, An joins Mai.

Vi: Cả hai làm việc hăng say, không để khó khăn dừng bước.

En: The presentation begins, but midway, the lights suddenly go out.
