Kidd amusing and engrossing (làm mê mải, thu hút sự chú ý) his rapt listeners, we sense a stealthily shrewd showman who knows precisely how to dress to project courtly authority, and when to pause for effect or emphasize for impact. 

Jeffrey served as chief soil (đất) whisperer for eight years and (pause for effect) was not paid a single cent by taxpayers. It was top mandarin Phil Gaetjens (ScoMo’s former chief of staff and now secretary of the department of prime minister and cabinet) who wrote to the Remittance Tribunal on August 18, on behalf of Scott Morrison, requesting the soil salary. 

After a pause for effect, Durbin continued by saying, “I can’t understand why this has become such a novelty (mới lạ) in Washington under the Trump administration, but it has. This attorney general, time and again, has been willing to say whatever this president wanted him to say. Today, he spoke the truth and it made the news.”

In just one generation, we went from being plastic-free — pause for effect — to a level of reliance (phụ thuộc) on plastic that results in 12 million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans every year. That’s a full rubbish (rác thải) truck every minute.
