TOPICS You have minutes to deliver a speech of the topic given You
are expected to include three parts of a speech, namely
Introduction.
1/ “There are a lot of complaints about restaurants in Vietnam” “Có
nhiều lời phàn nàn nhà hàng Việt Nam” Present your view with clear
arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view After
finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
Which are most popular in your country: fast food restaurants or traditional
ones?
Some people say that food in an expensive restaurant is always better
than that in a cheap one – would you agree? In the past few years, more and
more people have complainted about restaurants in Vietnam, especially
foreigners I think that restaurants in Vietnam have some problems In many
restaurant, customers sometimes suffer from di rty utensils or table This is
because of carelessness of the restaurant One more thing is dirty or illequipped restrooms It probably leaves bad impression on customers Besides,
impolite or condescending servers are heard, the attitude of waters affects
the eaters in the restaurants a lot Last but not least, poor hygiene is a big
problem Customers will not come back to the restaurant that serves dishes

with poor hygiene
In short, restaurant in general need to ask customers’ feedbacks often to
understand their demands If there are any complaints, listen to them and fix
it Traditional restaurants are the most popular in your country I don’t agree
that food in an expensive restaurant is always better than that in a cheap
one Because many cheap restaurants serve many kinds of food with high
quality


2/ “There are many changes of shopping over the last decade” "Có
nhiều thay đổi mua sắm thập kỷ qua"
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
What are your shopping habits?
Do you think online shopping will replace small shops in the future? Why? In
recent years, there has been a growing trend that people tend to buy
things on the Internet This present both pros and cos, however, in my
opinion, its benefits are much more significant than the drawbacks On the
one hand, shopping online brings consumers some disadvatages Initially,
since people are unable to touch or to see the products they want to buy in
reality, it is always hard for them to examine the quality of these products As
a result, they might purchase the items with poor quality In addition to that,
as consumers not feel happy with the items they had bought online, they
tend to abandon these products or don't use them at all This is definitely a
watse of money Moreover, buyings thing on the Internet often makes people
confused since there are a great number of shops on the Internet On the
other hand, I am of opinion that shopping online brings people a number of
benefits First, shopping online allows consumers to browse for products and
checking prices between these online shops Second, buyings things on the

Internet helps people save a great deal of time That is to say, since people
nowadays are often so caught up with work and study, shopping online is a
wise choice which doesn't require them to go the the stores In conclusion,
although buyings things on the Internet exerts some adverse aspects, the
advantages can justify these My shopping habits are shopping online I think
online shopping will replace small shops in the future because it is really
convenient.

4/ “There are many problems with education in Vietnam” "Có nhiều
vấn đề với giáo dục Việt Nam" Present your view with clear arguments
and specific, real-life examples to support your view After finishing
your speech, answer the following questions:
What are the differences between the traditional and modern educational
system in Vietnam?
What should be done to reduce educational problems in Vietnam?
It is clear that Vietnamese students frequently achieve successful
results in academic life However, these students might not a supply for the
potential workforce due to the educational issues This essay will discuss
Vietnamese educational problems and the measures that governments and
individuals can take to address these problems There are some typical
causes that lead to the fact that an increasing number of students focus on
academic performance and are not just focus on developing social skills
Firstly, traditional families have an obsessional achievement in academic
journey Secondly, myriad Vietnamese schools focus solely on theory and
ignore social activities which dominate in gaining career prospect If students
want to improve soft skills, they must study by themselves or go to another
class or club after school
To tackle this issue, adults should not judge children through by the results
and pay attention on balancing both skills In addition, the school should run
social clubs as well as combine social activities with the lectures Another
issue worth noting is that the education programs has not kept pace with job
demanding and has lacked of applicability The lectures focus dominantly on
the theory and lack of or no practice Supposed that, Vietnamese students
calculate very well but not know how to use it in reality Or numerous

graduated students must take a training course before working due to the
difference of theory and practice Educational programmers should gain the
applicability of the lectures and decrease those theories which are unrealistic
In conclusion, Educational errors have ruined numerous youngsters as well
as the development of our country Unless taking urgent action, Vietnamese
people would be struggle with applying for job in work market, especially
when the world has gradually become globalized the differences between the
traditional and modern educational system in Vietnam are that In modern
education system, the learners are able to learn in flexible timings, whereas
in traditional education there is a fixed timing.Traditional education is costly,
the course books, tuition fees, the classroom setup, etc sum up to a huge
amount of money compared to online education The modern education
system doesn’t require any classroom setup, course books, etc hence it is
comparatively low cost
Second, The government needs to find out educational problems so that
causes can be solved step by step.


5/ “There are many changes in housing in your hometown” “Có nhiều
thay đổi nhà ở quê bạn”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why?
What should be done to promote a regional festival?
Since I was a child the town has almost doubled in size and population It
used to consist of just one main street, but now there are many new housing
developments and apartments next to the water Houses are designed
beautifully and have well- decorated facades There are fences or trees
around the house In the back of the house there is a big garden In some of

house garages can be seen B With all these new people moving in, it has
changed the character of the town a little bit, people are not as friendly as
before People’s lives in my hometown are getting better This is a good sign It
means that children can be in better living condition People are less
interested in attending the festival Because they have other interests such
as sports, movies, video games and etc The authorities should something to
raise people’s awareness of traditional values.


6/ “There are many changes in traditional festivals” “Lễ hội truyền
thống có nhiều thay đổi”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why?
What should be done to promote a regional festival?
When we talk of festivals the one thing all of us enjoy is the festivities and
celebrations linked to it Every festival has had a historical while some are
linked to seasonal changes Because the advent of globalization and a
booming economy has had an impact on the way of our festivals
celebrations, today people can afford to enjoy the luxury of buying new
clothes, gadgets etc throughout the year rather than wait for the festivals to
make such purchases Festivals have today become a time to flaunt your
riches Festivals celebrations have become more self centered and moving
away from its tradition It is more of instant gratification now Today you
wouldn’t be surprised to find people working on festivals and concentrating
on their careers rather spend time with their families It is this change that is
unwelcome because at some point in future we would even forget the reason
behind all these festivals We would be celebrating all our traditional festivals
similar to Valentine’s day, Father’s Day, Mother’s day, etc all commercially

driven The good old ways of festivals celebrations were far better than the
ugly show of wealth that our festivals celebrations are getting transformed
into People are less interested in attending the festival Because they have
other interests such as sports, movies, video games and etc The authorities
should something to raise people’s awareness of traditional values


7/ “Reading books brings many benefits” “Đọc sách mang lại nhiều lợi
ích”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Are children more or less interested in reading? Why?
What should be done to encourage children to read?
Nowadays, media development has many positive influences in human’s life
People have lots of sources to get information and take entertainment such
as television, radio, Internet, etc but nobody can deny the importance as well
as the benefits of reading books First, reading books helps us widen our
knowledge Nowadays, not only does reading books costs less money but it is
also more comfortable than taking a trip We just lie on the couch and
comprehensive what is happening in the books Thanks to the wide range of
books such as science, literature, astronomy, archeology, biology, physics,
etc we can get information focus on our own fields as well as the others
Secondly, reading books helps us improve our expression ability like writing
and speaking The writing style of some our favorite writers will affect ours
Especially, when we read foreign literature, we will not only know more about
that country but also have chance to improve our reading skill, learn new
words which can be used to better our essays
Last but not least, reading books helps us relax after a hard-working day It is
also an interest for everybody who does not like to visit crowded places at

the weekend They like quiet atmosphere and not want to disturb anybody so
they consider books as their close friend They meet their stories, their lives
in books and they feel extremely sympathetic with the characters’ situations
Reading books makes them happy and relieve stress In conclusion, reading
books is so important and has many benefits It not only help us become
more clever but also bring us happiness Therefore, everyone should be
encouraged to read books as much as possible I think children are less
interested in reading Because nowadays, most of them prefer playing video
games, watching films or going online Parents or teachers should encourage
them to read books by buying them interesting comics with colourful covers


8/ “There are many effects of living in a noisy environment” “Sống
mơi trường ồn có nhiều tác hại”

Why people still go to noisy places like big cities or cinemas even when they
don’t like noises?


Noise pollution is an invisible danger It is considered to be any unwanted
or disturbing sound that affects the health and well-being of humans and
other organisms Noise pollution impacts millions of people on a daily basis
Exposure to loud noise can also cause high blood pressure, heart disease,
sleep disturbances, and stress These health problems can affect all age
groups, especially children Noise pollution also impacts the health and wellbeing of wildlife Animals use sound for a variety of reasons, including to
navigate, find food, attract mates, and avoid predators Noise pollution makes
it difficult for them to accomplish these tasks, which affects their ability

survive Increasing noise is not only affecting animals on land, it is also a
growing problem for those that live in the ocean Ships, oil drills, sonar
devices, and seismic tests have made the once tranquil marine environment
loud and chaotic The sound blasts can damage the ears of marine animals
and cause serious injury Scientists believe this noise may also be
contributing to the altered behavior of whales The noise affects humans and
animals badly, we should raise our awareness of this I dislike the noise from
vehicles the most, because it is ear-wrecking Because living in big cities
gives them more opportunities to have a good job, to get a better education,
health care or entertainment 9/ “There are many advantages of the
internet” “Có nhiều lợi Internet”

questions:
Do you think the Internet is safe for children to use? Why (or Why not)? How
has the Internet changed the way we live and work?
The Internet plays an important role in our modern life There are many
advantages of the internet by my following provement The Internet is a
breakthrough in developing technology It brings us wonderful advantages
First, education is more and more improved due to appearance of the
internet Students can learn and look for basic knowledge online without
spending too much time in the libarary This leads to the fact that it is very
convenient for both teachers and students to broaden their perception
Second, the internet shorten the distance of people even though they are
very far from each other Skype or Yahoo are good ways for them to contact
and have fun It is true to say that distance is not a big problem in such a
developing technology world Third, the internet makes everything easier and
faster For example, we can send or receive documentary through email for a
short time wwhile 10 years ago, we need to wait foe or days to send to a far
distence In a word, the inetrnet is one of the most wonderful inventions in

the world However, it also causes troubles in our life Thus, we should use it
in moderate I think the internet is not safe for children, because there are
many apps, videos or information that are not suitable for them The internet
has changed the way we live and work, because we can work online at
home, search for information, go shopping online, pay online bills and so on


10/ “There are many causes of pollution in cities” "Có nhiều nguyên
nhân gây ô nhiễm thành phố"
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
What is the biggest environmental problem in your hometown?
Are there any measures you would like to take about this problem?
There are many causes of pollution in big cities The pollution is mostly
from people’s daily activities In big cities, every day with millions of people
participating in traffic continuously from early morning to late at night,
millions of motorbikes, buses and cars are emitting countless emissions into
the environment The construction of houses, buildings, apartments or roads
and infrastructure requires an extremely large amount of soil, sand and
cement This construction process also causes a large amount of dust that
pollutes the air In the suburbs and the provinces adjacent to the big cities,
people using pesticides spray a large amount of toxic chemicals into the
environment Especially in Vietnam, people often burn rice straw, which is
also one of the factors causing heavy air pollution In the daily life of each
family, we use air conditioners, air conditioners, gas stoves or even use coal
and firewood, which also contribute to environmental pollution If we know
the causes of pollution, we need to fight those People should somethings
personally to reduce pollution in big cities Air pollution is the biggest
environmental problem in my hometown There any measures I would like to

take about this problem The government should fine heavily individuals or
organizations if they throw rubbish on the street or into rivers; encourage
people to use less fossil fuels

Will people work more or less in the future? Why?
Whether you're eager to increase your work hours or are just following
your boss's instructions, there are some risks to taking on overtime Here are
five disadvantages to take into consideration Researchers discovered that
just a couple more hours of sedentary work a day is hard on your heart and
is as dangerous to your health as smoking If you must stay late, try to avoid
sitting still the whole time, glued to your computer Take a couple of breaks to
go for a quick walk around the office and get your blood pumping On the
other hand, lengthening hours at more physical jobs can be increasingly
dangerous to your wellbeing, with fatigue and overworked muscles
potentially leading to accidents and injury Intense stress at work can lead to
insomnia, overeating, drinking too much alcohol, depression and other
mental health concerns. In conclusion, we should balance the time between
working and entertainment People should spend more time playing sports,
watching TV and try to finish work in time People will work less in the future
because the development of technology There will be machines or robots
doing the same jobs as people

12/ “There are many problems with food in Vietnam” "Có nhiều vấn đề
với thực phẩm Việt Nam" Present your view with clear arguments and
specific, real-life examples to support your view After finishing your speech,
answer the following questions:
What is a balanced diet? What is a typical diet of people in your country?
What is a typical diet of people in your country?
Foods in Vietnam are not always safe as they look, especially in street
small shops and vendors’ load Foods in Vietnam are not always safe as they
look, especially in street small shops and vendors’ load Since the price of
materials rose up in recent years, many shops must reduce cost to maintain
their profit This leads to the decrease of safety rate in street foods It is quite
adventurous to consume street foods in Vietnam nowadays A bowl of “Pho”
or “Bun Rieu” (vermicelli with crab soup) can make you down quite easily
With “Pho”, it is not too easy to have problem except for the half-done beef,
but vermicelli is not too safe to eat, especially the raw vegetables served
with the bowl In small shops along the street, they rarely clean the
vegetables well due to the lack of time, thus far can cause serious problem
since vegetables in Vietnam are full of insecticide, sometimes more than the
allowed ratio Many people believe that vermicelli is not perfect without raw
vegetables, but it is not a wise choice to have it in small shops or from
vendors Better to have it in restaurant or at home, with well-clean
vegetables Another thread is fried and roasted food along some markets, like
pork, bird, chicken and duck The coal they use for roasting produces too
much smoke for the meat, can cause cancer in the future, and the seasons
for those meats sometimes contains chemical colors which are banned
Moreover, Vietnamese people love to eat pig’s and duck’s blood, and this is
another thread of stomach problem In general, if you are afraid of having
problem with your belly, you really should go to big restaurants, or trusted

address to have a meal Otherwise, you should take some medicine before or
after enjoying Vietnamese street foods to your heart’s content A balanced
diet contains foods from the following groups: fruits, vegetables, dairy ,
grains, and protein There is no concept of 'courses' in Vietnamese meals A
typical meal consists of various dishes serving at once on the table There is
one main dish which is usually meat, fish or egg, together with other dishes
that are fresh vegetables, soup and rice Rice is the staple of the Vietnamese
diet A small bowl of soy sauce or fish sauce is also a must-have for
Vietnamese people

13 “There are many reasons for protecting the nature world” "Có
nhiều lý để bảo vệ giới tự nhiên"
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
What should be done to protect the nature and environment? Why?
Is it the responsibility of school to teach children to protect the nature and
environment? Why? (or Why not?)
When it comes to protecting the nature world there are many things
that we can to help There are tons of ways that you can live a sustainable life
and help to protect the environment Our environment is what houses and
helps our ecosystem grow and thrive Without protecting and taking care of
our environment we’re putting so many lives at danger such as animals,
plants and crops, and even our own One of the major reasons why we need
to work towards protecting the environment is because it helps to protect
humanity If we didn’t have our environment, then we wouldn’t have a place
to live or resources to live off of Right now our air, food, and even water is
being polluted because of many different factors Luckily, natural gas in the
US is on the rise and a great resource to use to help fuel our homes,
businesses, schools, factories, and so much more This is a change that we

should be pushing for if we want to create a better environment When you
live a more sustainable life then you’re helping the forests that we use to live
Our forests can help give us timber, wood, rubber, and even essential oils
When you work to protect the environment, then you’re doing something to
give back to your generation After all, your generation is the one who is
currently using it and living in it Overall, when it comes to answering the


questions why should we protect the environment, there are many reasons!
This is the only place we have to live and we should want to treat it with care
and respect People should protect the environment by not throwing rubbish,
using less fossil fuels, planting more trees and save energy It is the
responsibility of school to teach children to protect the nature and
environment because students spend most of their youth time at school
They have been taught a lot of things since they were small So it really
affects their mind set about protecting the envỉronment

14/ “There are many benefits of studying music or learning to play a
musical instrument” “Có nhiều lợi ích việc học nhạc học chơi nhạc cụ”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Do you think that pop/ rock stars can have bad influence on the young
people?
How much does the internet influence how you listen to music?
Learning how to play a musical instrument is more than just a hobby
The benefits of playing music can be physical, mental and spiritual Several
studies have shown strong correlations between playing music and increased
brain function For example, learning to play music can enhance spatial
reasoning, a cognitive skill that helps improve mathematical and geometrical

ability It helps develop self-confidence, the ability to play an instrument
helps your children get comfortable with self-expression, which in turn helps
to increase their selfworth and self-confidence Playing a musical instrument
can help your children become more sociable Joining a band or an orchestra
can help foster relationships with like-minded people, and it can encourage
teamwork and leadership These are just some of the many benefits that your
children can get from learning how to play a musical instrument If your
children have expressed their interest in playing a musical instrument, show
them your support and encourage them to pursue their instrument of choice
I dont think pop/ rock stars can have bad influence on the young people
While the Internet has made music more accessible to the public (and made
it more difficult for artists to make money), it also happens to be an


incredible tool that enables independent musicians to find a global audience
without the help and backing of a major label

Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Have there been any changes in weather over the past few years? What are

Weather, is the day to day change in conditions including the changes in the
atmosphere Changes of weather affect a lot of things, especially people The
weather conditions can effect the day-to-day lives of and have an impact on
them Farming is always affected by the weather no matter what sort of
farming it is the weather will affect it crops without rainwater will perish and

die as they would without enough sunlight Peoples leisure activities are
effected by the weather and mixing a little with health, Sunbathers on
beaches all over the world must be careful, an example is British people with
the varied weather we have we tent to at the first sign of sun peel off layers
to get a tan as quickly as possible (on the understanding that if they don't
the weather could be miserable again the next day) In conclusion, people
should something to stop weather changing by not throwing rubbish, using
less fossil fuels or recycling things People’s small activities will the planet
Yes, there have been a lot of changes in weather over the past few years
They are global warming, flooding, draught or typhoons In a bad weather, it's
always a good idea to stay at home If you really have to go out, be sure to


check the weather forecast before leaving Remember to stay away from the
river in case of a heavy rain and keep away from trees when the wind is
strong.

16/ “Many things should be changed about education in Vietnam.”
“Nhiều điều nên thay đổi giáo dục Việt Nam.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to
support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Is it a good practice for students to wear uniform at schools? Why/ why not?
Which you prefer: a single-sex school or a co-educational school? Why?
Education is the root of development of every country all over the world
and VietNam is not an exception I'd like to focus on the idea of changing
method which I personally think is the best key to these weaknesses
Numerous lecturers nowadays complain that their students are passive
during lessons Also, most examinations only require students to remember
what they take notes in class This encourages learners to learn by heart like

parrots not students And then leaving rooms, these "parrots" remember
nothing The solution to these problems is new teaching methods which help
developing practical skills and make students more active First of all,there
should be more classes in which teachers ask questions and students are
expected to answer all the questions This will force students think for
themselves, which will reveal the weaknesses in the students's way of
thinking,and lead them to stronger,better ideas These classes will improve
thinking skill and may be communication skill as well In addition to these
classes, extracirrcular activities should be encouraged to help students more
being active, building some esential skills such as teamwork, the ability of


management, and social communication skill,etc they should be given
chances to join hands in community activities such as Earth Hours,as well as
social campaign to assist the community,give charity to the poor In
conclusion,"teaching" should be correctly understood Teaching should mean
instilling in students a thirst for knowledge and the methodology for them to
discover things by themselves It is a good practice for students to wear
uniform at schools because this create equality at school I prefer coeducational school, because students have opportunities to help each other
in study or to learn from each other ...
