BÀI TẬP BỔ TRỢ VÀ NÂNG CAO - UNIT 9 I. Reading comprehensively and answer the questions Ogden Nash was a poet, storyteller, humorist, and philosopher.

One of his most famous is a two-line verse titled “reflections on Ice-Breaking” in which he offers the following advice to young lovers: “Candy is candy, but liquor is quicker”.
