The store is at the top floor of Ozone mall opposite Pizza Hut. The store is very
roomy with an all-glass entrance wall that is flush with the glass door and intricate
displays lined with various frames and accessories arranged in an orderly fashion
along the other walls. People who might need to check their eyes or change their

'inclement' weather because a few hours later it started to clear. The sun came out,
and the water level slowly dropped. However, a lot of houses were flooded, so it
was very difficult. I found them all quite interesting. In my country, we usually

interesting experience for me.

eat fruit to cool off, we often go swimming on weekday afternoons when we have
free time. After that, we went to eat ice cream together and cycle around the west
lake. Different from others, I really like summer because the sunshine makes my

event attracts lots of people and a festivity goes on surrounding this event. I enjoy
the music, the gathering and the festivity of this event.
Describe a song that means something special to you
I love listening to music, so I like many songs. However, one of my favorite songs
that I want to talk about today is “comethru” by Jeremy Zucker. This song was
released in 2018. When it came out, it quickly became a hit on every single music
chart throughout the world, not just because of its catchy melody, but also for its

meaningful lyrics. I think this song has such a powerful message that whenever I
was tired or had decided to quit, it would lift me up right away. It made me think
about why I had started in the first place and that I needed to finish the job that I
was currently doing.
Tell me about your favorite music band
There are many music bands that I like very much but Chillies is my most
favourite music band. Chillies is a Vietnam pop rock band consisting of 6
members. The group was formed in 2018 and is managed by Warner Music
Vietnam Label. First heard their songs about 4 years ago, when I still was a
university student, and since then I am hooked to their music. Chillies is
considered to be one of the most musically influential and commercially successful
bands. From the very beginning as a soft rock duo, Chillies has been popular for
their love songs, and people react to these love songs very strongly and
passionately because of their romantic nature and mellow sound.

people with its pretty melodies and catchy lyrics while rock is liked simply
because it provides soundtracks for life experiences, motivates people, and

music
Absolutely not. People's personalities, music genre's and tastes are too broad to be
judged upon.
3. Do you think it is true that anyone can sing with the right training
No. it depends. a good song cannot be made by learning with a right if you
don't have a good character for music. my parents let me take music lessons

beginning at a young age, just like i did, but i still sing out of tune.

love songs, while now there is more diversity in terms of genres and styles.

grow in popularity. However, I think that CDs will still be around for some time,
especially among older generations who are more used to physical media.
9. Recently many singers and groups have first become famous through
television talent shows, what do you think about this
I think that television talent shows can be a great way for talented artists to gain
exposure and recognition, but they can also be very competitive and stressful for
the contestants.
10.What do you think about illegal downloading of music? What should be done
about it
I believe that is inappropriate to do. To create a work, the artist has to spend a lot
of effort and money, your illegal download of music is negating their effort.

much of emotion and excitement that it seems as if some work has been done.
PART 2
Describe a book that had a major influence on you
One Vietnamese book that had a major influence on me is "Số đỏ" (Dumb Luck)
by Vu Trong Phung. It's a classic novel written in the 1930s that depicts the corrupt
and decadent society of Vietnam under French colonial rule. I first read this book
as part of my high school literature curriculum, and I couldn't put it down. The plot
follows the misadventures of a poor and uneducated man named Tam who rises to
power through a combination of luck and manipulation. The book exposes the
greed, and exploitation that were rampant in Vietnam at that time, and it made me
reflect on the social and political issues that still affect our country today. It was
also interesting to read about Vietnam's history through the eyes of someone who
lived during that period. I still have a paperback copy of "Số đỏ" that I read from
cover to cover several times, and it remains one of my favourite books.
Describe a movie that you have never seen but would like to see
I’m going to talk about a film that I’d like to see when it comes out later this year.
It’s the new James Bond film, and I saw in the news that it’s going to be called
‘Spectre’. As ‘Spectre’ hasn’t been released yet, I don’t know exactly what it will
be about. I first heard about this film when I was watching the news a couple of
months ago, and since then I’ve seen the official trailer on TV. There have also
been various articles in newspapers discussing the actors who have been cast to
play supporting roles in the film. I’d like to see ‘Spectre’ at the cinema because
I’m sure it will be full of action scenes and special effects, and I like the fact that
Bond’s missions always take place in spectacular locations in different parts of the
world. Of course Bond films are totally unrealistic, you could even say ridiculous.
But they’re always fast, entertaining and fun, a bit like a roller-coaster ride!

PART 3
BOOKS
1. How can books impact on man’s life
Books have the power to shape a person's thoughts and beliefs, provide knowledge

thinking skills.

If a child does not have strong literacy skills, they may find it difficult to
comprehend what they are reading, which can be discouraging.

themselves and discussing what they're reading with the children.
Encouraging them to choose books they're interested in, or making reading time
a fun and enjoyable experience
6. Are there any jobs where people nees to read a lot

Describe a place that has a special meaning to you
Vũ Thị Linh


Visiting different places is my hobby and whenever I get a chance, I try to pay
visits. However, going to so many places, the place I find the most meaningful is

Nam Dinh - the place where I was born. I have many happy memories in this city,
and this is the city where I have spent some of my happiest days in life. So this is
perhaps the most important place for me as a person. I was born and brought up in
Namdinh. While living in the old part of this city, I used to travel downtown of the
city with my friends and schoolmates. The happy memories still linger in my brain,
and I often remember how innocent and carefree those days were. I like this city
for many reasons. The most important thing about the city is that it is my
birthplace where I also spent my childhood and teenage days. Wherever I go, and
whichever city I travel to, I feel a special bond with my birthplace.
Describe a short vacation that you were impressed by
I would like to talk about my recent holiday in Thailand with my best friend last
summer, which was really memorable for us. Although this trip only lasted for 4
days, it involved a lot of planning ahead. We booked the plane tickets a month
ahead to get a couple of cheaper ones. Because we definitely did not want to use a t
ravel agent or book a package tour, we had to search for a lot of information online
to organize our own journey. Throughout the trip, there were a lot of interesting thi
ngs that we had a chance to experience together. We visited some well-known tour
ist attractions in Thailand, which allowed us to discover a new culture and tradition
al customs there. Despite the fact that we did not like food that is too spicy, the var
iety of Thai street dishes tempted us to try them. It was truly a holiday of a lifetime,
and I would love to visit again someday.

On the one hand, booking an all-in package or package holiday can be very
convenient and cost-effective. Holiday brochures can also provide inspiration for
new holiday destinations, and there are plenty of stunning landscapes and breathtaking views to discover. However, if you only have the chance to take a holiday
of a lifetime once, it can be difficult to know which far-off destination to choose.

Travelling is an important short break, as it broadens your horizons and exposes
you to new cultures, languages, and ways of life. It can also help you to develop

important skills such as adaptability, independence, and problem-solving.

The government can attract foreign visitors by filming many promotional videos
about Vietnam's beauty, videos about Vietnamese food, scenery and people.

new things every day. You will learn more about culture, language, customs and
habits of the place you visit.

Vũ Thị Linh


Travelling first class can be very luxurious and comfortable, with plenty of space.

very affordable and allows you to have a more authentic travel experience.

for millions of people from various countries around the world. I would like to
work for an accountant in one of the largest corporations in the world. So, right
after I finish my studies in Vietnam, I will go to Melbourne to apply for a job
there. Anyway, I would like to work in Japan because it has a very good working
culture, where everybody treats each other with great respect. Besides, working in

use it to further advance my career after coming back to work in my own country.

high salary structure.

police force for more than 5 years. he works in order to keep the good citizens of
