PREPARATION FOR SPEAKING 2

SITUATIONS

You have ONE minute to read the task carefully and another ONE minute to do the task as you
are instructed to.
1/ You are going to have a summer vacation with your family. Between going to the beach,
mountain hiking and visiting your hometown, which one might be the best choice? Why?

I will choose go to the beach in summertime.
Firstly, my family is living at hometown, so we don’t need to visit.
Secondly, about moutain hiking, some people in my family are not strong enough for that,
moutain hiking is not possible. So with me, going to the beach is the best choice for my family.
In any beach place, we can always feel relax. We can experience to feel the breeze of the sea
touching or blowing on our face. At the beach, one of the best moments that we are also waiting for is
the sunset. Many people love to watch the sunset and take pictures of it. It feels romantic and relaxing.
In the evening, you can only sit on the rock and watch the sun sinking into the sea. We can also be in
touch with nature because the beach is the best place for us to be connected again with our nature.

2/ You are going to buy a book for your nephew as a present. Among the following kinds of
books: a comic book, a fairy tale, and a scientific book, which one might be your best choice?
Why?
Bạn định mua một cuốn sách cho cháu trai của bạn như một món quà. Trong số các loại sách
sau: truyện tranh, truyện cổ tích và sách khoa học, loại nào có thể là lựa chọn tốt nhất của bạn?
Tại sao?

For my nephew's birthday, I plan to buy a book as a gift for him. I choose to buy science books
for the following reasons:

Since childhood, he has loved reading books, especially books with titles about the animal
world.


These books are collectively known as science books. But the content my grandson likes the most is
writing about animals, their characteristics and locations. There are species that live on land, in water,
in the air, live in groups, live alone and of course there are species raised at home. Some species are
now extinct. This theme has a particularly compelling power to it. With just such a book, he can sit and
read passionately all afternoon or all day long to rest. There are books he reads for the second and third
time but still finds it as interesting as reading the first time. Books about the position of animals not

1

only entertain children, gain more useful knowledge, but also nurture a big dream for them, which is to
become a scientific researcher in the future.

3/ You have a certain amount of money and you can buy one of the following things: a
dishwasher, a mobile phone or a laptop. What do you think you will buy? Why?
Bạn có một số tiền nhất định và bạn có thể mua một trong những thứ sau: máy rửa bát, điện
thoại di động hoặc máy tính xách tay. Bạn nghĩ bạn sẽ mua gì? Tại sao?

I am going to buy a mobile phone. When it comes to why I-phone becomes a part of my life,
there are two main utilities. I could start by saying that using the mobile phone allows me to keep in
touch with my relatives and my friends more easily. I can know what they’re up to by making a call or
sending a message. Also, with the Internet connection, I can see and talk to them via Facetime
irrespective of long distance. Another thing that I want to mention is that many applications come in
handy, and they play a vital role in assisting me with enhancing my English skills and vocabulary.
Quizlet, for instance, is a popular application that enables me to boost lexical resources by learning new
words via flashcards and audio. Besides, as it’s portable, I can put it in my pocket and bring it to
anywhere I go. To me, I-phone is an indispensable item. I’m so addicted to using it that I think I can’t
live without it.

4/ You are going to take up a hobby this summer vacation. Which one is your best choice –
collecting stamps, fishing, or listening to music? Why?

Bạn sẽ thực hiện một sở thích trong kỳ nghỉ hè này. Cái nào là sự lựa chọn tốt nhất của bạn - sưu
tập tem, câu cá hay nghe nhạc? Tại sao?

I would like listening to music. Because music can elevate mood. It can reduces stress. It
increases workout endurance. It helps you sleep better. Music elevates mood. Music can boost the
brain’s production of the hormone dopamine. This helps reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
Music reduces stress. Research has found that listening to music can relieve stress by triggering
biochemical stress reducers. Music increases workout endurance. Listening to those top workout tracks
can boost physical performance and increase endurance during a tough exercise session. Music helps
you sleep better. A study showed that students who listened to relaxing music for 45 minutes before
bedtime slept better.

5/ There is a vote for the most important technological wonder of the world. There are three choices:
advances in healthcare, the development of air travel and space exploration. What is your vote? Why?

2

5 / Có một cuộc bình chọn cho kỳ quan cơng nghệ quan trọng nhất của thế giới. Có ba sự lựa chọn:
những tiến bộ trong chăm sóc sức khỏe, sự phát triển của du lịch hàng không và khám phá khơng gian.
Phiếu bầu của bạn là gì? Tại sao?

To my viewpoint, I will vote space exploration is one of the most important technological wonder of
the world. Simply because, there are many mysteries in the space that we haven’t discovered Firstly, we
can learn more about the human body. According to research, the impact of space travel will help us
understand the human body. The effects of zero gravity on blood circulation has led to many
discoveries about the body and how to prevent heart disease. Next, protecting Earth is also one of the
important missions. We only have one planet where we can live. It would be nice to keep it in good
condition until we can find out a way to move other planets. Exploring space is the only way we will
learn more about them so we can develop strategies and technology that could help save us from such
events. That’s why I choose space exploration is critical and the only path to the survival of the human

race

6/ You are going to do some sports to keep fit. Between doing aerobics, skiing and playing football,
which one might be the best choice? Why?
6 / Bạn định tập một số môn thể thao để giữ dáng. Giữa tập thể dục nhịp điệu, trượt tuyết và chơi bóng
đá, cái nào có thể là lựa chọn tốt nhất? Tại sao?

I like football because I think it’s a sport that most people like and we can just all gather around and
watch the football. It’s something really fun and sociable. In my country, football is the most common
sport activity and it acquires its reputation for The King of Sports. Two teams will defend in a football
pitch, try to take possession of the ball, pass it to the teammates and aim to score a goal. They also try
to avoid injuries and booking. People prefer football than any kinds of sports because of the animating
atmosphere it brings back.

7/ You are going to be a volunteer in a charity organization. Between an organization that rescues
wildlife animals, a charity that helps people with HIV, and a charity that helps street children,
which one would you like to work for? Why?

y?

7 / Bạn sắp trở thành tình nguyện viên trong một tổ chức từ thiện. Giữa một tổ chức cứu hộ động vật
hoang dã, một tổ chức từ thiện giúp đỡ người nhiễm HIV và một tổ chức từ thiện giúp đỡ trẻ em đường
phố, bạn muốn làm việc cho tổ chức nào? Tại sao?

3

Young street has very little knowledge to know the risks of urban life without adult guidance. Many
children are under the stress of making a living every day. I want to be a volunteer in a charity that
helps street children. I want to share a bit of material and time to support less fortunate situations and
lives. Street children appear on the street to make a living more and more, especially in big cities. In an

environment with many pitfalls, how to keep them safe? Many children have broken the law or joined
criminal gangs. Girls are often at greater risk and danger because they are often the subject of sexual
abuse One factor that is considered safe for children is education and training. Without brain
investments, children will not have a good future and cannot make their dreams come true, even if they
are well fed and protected every day. Fully equipped with knowledge and skills, children will have
more chances to escape their current unhappiness by finding a more stable and secure job. The prospect
of future growth also gives children hope, encouragement and a new meaning to a difficult life now.

8/ You have one hour at the weekend to watch TV. Between watching a sports program, a movie
and a game show, which one might be your best choice? Why?
8/ Bạn có một giờ vào cuối tuần để xem TV. Giữa việc xem một chương trình thể thao, một bộ phim và
một chương trình trị chơi, cái nào có thể là sự lựa chọn tốt nhất của bạn? Tại sao?

There are a wide variety of types of TV shows, but I think the best choice is game show. As game show
do not only provide the audience with witty scenes that make them split their sides but it sometimes
keeps the audience in suspense, most people are keen on this kind. It really makes me feel refreshed
and all daily stress is set aside when I immerse myself in one specific game show.

9/ You want to take a trip to Ha Long Bay with your friends. There are three means of transport
to choose: train, car, motorbike. Which one do you choose? Why?
9/ Bạn muốn cùng bạn bè đi du lịch Vịnh Hạ Long. Có ba phương tiện di chuyển để bạn lựa chọn: tàu
hỏa, ô tô, xe máy. Bạn chọn cái nào? Tại sao?

The choosing of me depended on what I prioritized. If I want to go fast, I will choose to go by car
because it takes only 2 hours from Ha Noi to Ha Long Bay. If I want to enjoy the scenery while seating
swaying following the moving of train, I will choose to go by train. But it has a little inconvenient that I
have to move to Ha Noi station and pretty sure to be on time if I don’t want to miss the train. And if I
want to freely at time for the trip, looking the scenery along the journeys and enjoy the natural air, I
will choose to go by motobike.

10/ You are going to be a volunteer in a charity organization. Between an organization that
rescues wildlife animals, a charity that helps people with HIV, and a charity that helps street
children, which one would you like to work for? Why?

dã, một tổ chức từ thiện giúp đỡ người nhiễm HIV và một tổ chức từ thiện giúp đỡ trẻ em đường phố,
bạn muốn làm việc cho tổ chức nào? Tại sao?

Young street has very little knowledge to know the risks of urban life without adult guidance. Many
children are under the stress of making a living every day. I want to be a volunteer in a charity that
helps street children. I want to share a bit of material and time to support less fortunate situations and
lives. Street children appear on the street to make a living more and more, especially in big cities. In an
environment with many pitfalls, how to keep them safe? Many children have broken the law or joined
criminal gangs. Girls are often at greater risk and danger because they are often the subject of sexual
abuse One factor that is considered safe for children is education and training. Without brain

are well fed and protected every day. Fully equipped with knowledge and skills, children will have
more chances to escape their current unhappiness by finding a more stable and secure job. The prospect
of future growth also gives children hope, encouragement and a new meaning to a difficult life now.

11/ You are going to travel to one of the following cities – Paris, Hanoi, and Tokyo. Which one
will you choose? Why?
11/Bạn sắp đi du lịch đến một trong những thành phố sau - Paris, Hà Nội, và Tokyo. Bạn sẽ chọn cái
nào? Tại sao?

I would like going to travel to Hanoi. Because I love the landscape there, because of the weather,
because of the people anf memories of this place. Hanoi is famous for its hustle and bustle. Hanoi has
its own ancient beauty. In Hanoi, there are many scenic sports associated with historical sites. - The
weather in Hanoi changes with the seasons. I like to see Hanoi on autumn afternoons. Light leaves fall

in the golden sunlight of the sunset. Some odl people go jogging together in the park. A few street
vendors were carring bulky bicycles. The scenry looks peaceful, different from the usual noisy and
bustling Hanoi. - Hanoi has everything. The foot is rich, the commercial centrer, the bustling student
markets. Because of many factories and a large number of factories, the environmental situation in
Hanoi is quite alarming. I Hope this situation will be impoved to make Hanoi more beautiful in the eyes
of everyone. I love Hanoi

12/ You are going on a holiday with your family and have three choices: a big and expensive
hotel, a small but comfortable hotel and a home-stay. Which might be the best choice for you?
Why?
12 / Bạn sắp đi nghỉ cùng gia đình và có ba sự lựa chọn: khách sạn lớn và đắt tiền, khách sạn nhỏ
nhưng tiện nghi và ở nhà dân. Cái nào có thể là sự lựa chọn tốt nhất cho bạn? Tại sao?

It's hard to say which is the best choice if you don't know where you're going to travel, right? Normally,
I would choose a home stay or a comfortable and convenient hotel that suits my budget. However it
will also change depending on where I want to go. For example, if I go on a vacation in high mountain
valleys like Tam Dao or Da Lat, I will stay at home stay, and if I go to the beach, I will choose a hotel
near the sea, the more comfortable the better. The option that I feel is most suitable for me is a comfortable
hotel. Because I love the convenience, not too fussy, not too demanding in a temporary
accommodation.

13/ You are invited to have dinner with an English family. Which gift you are going to bring:
some fruit, a brunch of flower or cakes? Why?
13 / Bạn được mời ăn tối với một gia đình người Anh. Bạn sẽ mang món q nào: một ít trái cây, một
bó hoa hay bánh ngọt? Tại sao?

As our question mentioned, there are many options to choose. In my opinion, some fruit is the best
choice because of the following reasons: Firstly, Eating a lot of fruit is good for health. Give fruit as a

wish of health to the family. Secondly, After finishing the dinner, everyone gathers together to eat fruit,
it will be fun and talk together. Beside, Fruit is also suitable for all members of the family. That’s all
teacher.

TOPICS
You have three minutes to deliver a speech of the topic given. You are expected to include three
parts of a speech, namely Introduction, Development and Conclusion with the use of some linking
words.
1/ “Television brings a large number of benefits to the users”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Television brings a large number of benefits to the users. It is not only a storehouse of
knowledge and information, but it is also a cheap entertainment channel at your home
Firstly, TV news brings us useful information. It contains all types of news thereby enriches our

6

knowledge. It gives us up-to-date information on the current events that are happening over the
whole world within twenty-four hours.
Secondly, TV program channels satisfy most of everyone's hobbies such as cooking channels,
home improvement shows, financial talk shows, traveling shows and so on.
Thirdly, watching TV, especially your favorite programs are likely to have a huge impact on
your mental well-being. They make you relax or make you laugh that can relieve your stress.
Besides, watching TV every evening might bring your family closer together.
In conclusion, TV programs are so plentiful and have many benefits. It not only helps us enrich
our knowledge but also brings us entertainment. However, parents need to control the TV
channels to prevent the children from watching violent, criminal, sexual, or other risky behavior
on television. These issues have negative effects and leave a bad impression on children and as
result, they might have trouble in the future.


2/ “There are many causes of pollution in big cities”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Along with the development always have many negative impacts it causes. Besides the development of
cities in many aspects, one of disadvantages causes of this development is air pollution. In my opinion,
this problem can be explained by some following reasons.
First of all, many factories have been located in the big cities. Besides bringing lots of employments,
but they also are one of the main components of air pollution because they burn a lot of oil and release
it into the air.
Secondly, more and more young people are moving to big cities so that the population is more and
more crowded. The crowded population causes traffic tram and many pollutant gas are emitted by
vehicles.
And thirdly, the large areas of land for growing green trees are shrinking instead of building
infrastructure such as roads, departments, financial and entertainment centers. All we know, trees bring
pure air, on the reverse, no trees cause air pollution.
In conclusion, air pollution reduces the beauty of nature and is a major health problem. All
governments need consciousness and action to solve this problem. In my ability, I plant some trees in
the garden, I ride bicycle or use public transportation instead of riding motorbike to reduce pollutant
gas.

3/ “Regular exercises are advantageous”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

7

Exercising is most essential for everyone to remain healthy and fit. Regular exercises brings us many
advantages.
We must recognize that exercise has a lot of benefits to all of us.
First of all, it helps in maintaining your weight and also reducing weight if you are overweight because
you can burn calories when you exercise.

Secondly, exercising is good for your health. It helps in improving the oxygen level, blood flow and
controls the blood sugar levels of the body. You can reduce stress, better sleep, control memory and
relieve body pain through doing exercises. It also develops your muscles to help you are stronger as
well.
Finally, regular exercise also helps to prevent diabetes, lower the risk of other diseases like heart
attack, Alzheimer’s, obesity.
In conclusion, if you are not healthy, you cannot have a happy life and contribute to the expansion of
society. Thus, everyone needs to exercise reasonably and safely to beat all these modern diseases.

4/ “Doing charities brings many benefits”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Doing charities will enrich your life and is an opportunity for us to better understand how we fit
into the world around us. Doing charities to support people around you is extremely beneficial,
both for you and your community.
Firstly, it is statistically proven that people who do charities regularly are healthier both
physically and mentally. In addition to the health benefits, volunteering gives us a sense of
purpose.
Secondly, doing charities will teach you patience, kindness, and resilience. Not only will you
improve your communication abilities by working alongside a diverse team of people, but you
will also gain many other valuable experiences that will help you navigate your future, discover
a new passion or interest.
Finally, you have the opportunity to meet lots of new people that allow you to broaden your
outlook and your network of friends.
In conclusion, let's give and we will get back. Having many ways to do charities, if you’re too
busy to volunteer or otherwise donate your time, giving money is the perfect workaround as
well. So, do charity in the way you can.

5/ “Choosing the right gift/ present is not easy.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.


8

There is no better way to show that you love and care for your loved ones than by sending them
gifts. However, choosing the right present is not easy. Sometimes, we all have been through a
situation that the person did not like our gift and just pretended to like it anyway. The reasons
might be you did not know anything about the person’s likes and dislikes. So there are some
points we should notice to choose the right present.
Firstly, giving gifts is an art, not related to how much they are worth. Thoughtful, handmade
gifts could be more meaningful than random, expensive ones. No matter what gift you’ve got,
always add your little touch to it. You can write a card or even a tiny note on the gift to make it
more personal and exciting.
Secondly, we can start by making a list of all their likes to pick the best gift. For example, if the
person enjoys reading, make a list of books that he would love to read.
In brief, remember that the best gifts are those that make a person know and feel that you care
for them.

6/ “Air travel is of great importance.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Air travel connects people and markets worldwide and becomes of great importance to our
lives.
Firstly, air travel creates a large of employment for a wide variety of professional qualifications
with potential income.
Secondly, air transport makes a major contribution to people’s individual traveling and thus
promotes international understanding, cultural exchange, and develops tourism. On the other
hand, air travel connects and sales markets all over the world that helps promote the global
economy.
Finally, air travel plays a significant role in emergencies and humanitarian aid. It brings doctors,
rescue teams as well relief goods to conflict and disaster areas.

In conclusion, air transport is one of man's greatest inventions. And I strongly agree that it is
extremely important and affects many aspects of our lives.

7/ “Technology brings many drawbacks to our life.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Just as a coin has two sides, besides the benefits, technology also has its own negative effects on
our life.

9

Firstly, people become more dependent on technology that they even cannot do their everyday
tasks without technology.
Secondly, there are some technologies that can do the hard work faster and easier and the cost
will be lower, this can be the cause that people become jobless.
Thirdly, nowadays people are spending more time playing video games, learning how to use
new modern technologies, using social networks and everyday social isolation is increasing.
Lastly, the use of technology can also have negative results on physical health causing vision
problems, hearing loss, and neck strain or etc. For example, many studies show that mobile
technology affects people in a negative way, especially, health. It can decrease communication
and relations between people. Also, it can be distracting from your schoolwork.
In conclusion, technology has changed people’s lives in both positive and negative ways. People
said that too much of anything is bad. I think we should use technology to a limit and be aware
of the bad effects of technology then that will be good for us.

8/ “Our cities have changed dramatically over the last 10 years.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

I’ve been living in Saigon for the past 25 years, and my first visit here was in 1999. I’ve been
witnessing the city is changing by the minute especially over the last 10 years, most clearly

shown in the economy and infrastructure.
Firstly, over the last decade, economic growth and increased migration have transformed Saigon
into an economic engine for the whole country and an international gateway to the south, and
other parts of the country, by taking advantage of the young workforce, fast growth, and high
urbanization rate.
Secondly, Saigon has made remarkable developments in transport infrastructure and projects
that change the face of the city that increase the quality of life for the citizen. There are more
streets, skyscrapers, new residential areas such as Bitexco, Landmark, bridges over hundreds of
billions, 12-lane inner-city roads, highways to Vung Tau, Thu Thiem river tunnel, River bus.
Especially, a metro system is being built, and there are plans for a new airport with the ambition
of becoming a major hub of Southeast Asia.
In conclusion, in 2020, officially entering a new decade, hopefully, Saigon will more and more
develop, worthy of the title "the Pearl of the Far East".

9/ “People travel for many reasons”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

10

For many people, traveling is not only for relaxation but also for passion. After a period of time,
these people continue to discover new lands and depend on their finance and time to decide
where they will go. There are some reasons people travel.
Firstly, traveling lets you explore some new places that you have always want to visit or dreamt
about. You hear about these places in books, TV or films now you have got the opportunity to
witness it with your own eyes.
Secondly, traveling is not only let you create lifetime memories but also improves your
understanding of many different cultures, people and countries, these experience opens your
mind to lots of new ideas, enrich the knowledge that makes you more interesting, therefore, you
can absolutely become a good conversationalist.
Thirdly, traveling can improve your health. Traveling more is likely to have a positive impact on

your mental well-being. It can help you reduce stress, even a cure for depression and anxiety. Of
course, it's not a perfect cure, but it might help you feel better, both physically and
psychologically.
In conclusion, traveling brings us many fresh, exciting discoveries, it is a useful way to enjoy
and make your life more interesting. However, you should prepare carefully all things for a
healthy and safe trip.

10/ “Mobile phones have many uses.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Cell phones are the most used communication tool today. Cell phones have not only changed
the way of communication but also provide many other fantastic functions.
Firstly, cell phones are the perfect way to stay connected with others. They have become easy to
connect with people worldwide and talk face-to-face using cell phones. Cell phones shorten the
distance between the two businesses or two countries.
Secondly, cell phones provide the user with a sense of security. In emergency situations, having
a cell phone can allow help to find you quickly and with GPS technology, allowing the cell
phone to be found or the user located in the case of loss or emergency.
Thirdly, mobile phones help us to store all the important data handy. We can carry and use
immediately with our files around wherever we go.
Finally, besides the entertainment features such as watching movies, playing games, learning
online, especially, we can do office work with office applications that are set up on cell phones.
In conclusion, cell phones help us communicate efficiently and make our life easier. They have
become a necessity for many people throughout the world and play significant roles in both
personal and professional of each person.

11

11/ “Living in a nuclear family is advantageous”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.


A nuclear family is a popular tendency in modern life due to various factors such as increasing
urbanization, scarcity of living space in big cities, a desire for more privacy, the impact of
westernization, and so on. Living in a nuclear family is advantageous because of the following
reasons.
Firstly, many young people desire more freedom and privacy. Couples in a nuclear family take
complete responsibility for running and taking care of the family instead of being affected and
the absolute control of the eldest family member.
Secondly, sharing the living space with many family members can often lead to conflicts,
misunderstandings, and unpleasant situations. Several couples would rather live separately to
avoid multiple conflicts and undercurrents in family relationships.
Thirdly, shouldering family responsibilities together makes husband and wife appreciative of
each other. For the children, nothing works better than watching their parents have open
conversations, care for, understand, and love each other.
In conclusion, in my opinion, no family is perfect, but when solving any problem, couples need
to ensure the best possible outcomes for all family members. I would like to live in a nuclear
family because preventing of conflicts with other members and have more freedom and privacy

12/ “Living in an extended family is advantageous”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Living in an extended family is a traditional lifestyle in some cultures for many years in many
countries. I think it is advantageous because of the following reasons.
First of all, living in an extended family can reduce the family’s money pressure. For example,
instead of one person paying for a bill, it is now more economical to have a group of people
pays for the bill.
Secondly, it also encourages grandparents and children to spend time together and add value to
each other’s lives. I mean, children have the advantage of growing up with multiple family
members and also learning about caring for their elders, while grandparents feel happier when
living with grandchildren.

Finally, we can find it much easier and simpler to care for and support each other when living in
the same home. This way, we can share the love, responsibilities, mutual support with the
family members.

12

In conclusion, extended family living has many benefits, but it can also become challenging and
put pressure on family relationships. One of the best ways to avoid any potential conflict is to
live together in a home with a layout that gives each member of the family much-needed
privacy, space, and comfort.

13/ “Facebook brings more disadvantages than advantages”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Facebook can consider as a diary, entertainment, information, or business website. Facebook
also allows us to interact with others, make new friends, or find old friends. Although Facebook
brings us some advantages, there are more adverse effects.
Firstly, there are many, who are addicted to Facebook. People just start living in this virtual
world & spend hours & hours on the Facebook cause of bad grades on the student's results and
many employees waste their time surfing FB. Furthermore, this problem keeps you away from
real people and eventually creating problems with real-life relationships.
Secondly, Facebook has many problems related to privacy and criminal issues. Opening an
account, making a fake profile & ID is simple for anyone on Facebook. Therefore, many cases
have been reported about these fake accounts related issues such as bullying, stalking,
blackmailing, due to which many lives have been destroyed especially, teens.
Finally, Facebook creates opportunities for many groups & pages on Facebook to abuse or
violate other religions, personalities, nations, etc. This kind of activity disturbs the social
environment and causes serious social problems.
In conclusion, Facebook brings us both positive and negative ways, but there are more
disadvantages. I think we should consider the way of using Facebook to prevent the bad effects

of Facebook then that will be good for us.

14/ “University students’ working part-time brings many benefits.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Nowadays, the number of students who work part-time during school time is increasing
remarkably due to working part-time brings many benefits for them. There are some benefits
that students should work part-time.
Firstly, many students lack practical experience before entering the workforce because they
have been learning in the education systems which do not teach skills as they just focus on
theory. Through part-time jobs, young people will have ample practical experience in solve a
wide range of problems of today's jobs.

13

Secondly, students can earn some money to spend on daily expenses thanks to a part-time job.
There has been an increase in the number of students leaving college or university because they
don’t have enough money to pay for training fees in recent years.
Finally, working part-time can encourage students to improve time management skills which are
difficult to develop without activities outside the colleges or universities.
In conclusion, students can gain several benefits from working part-time. Besides getting more
practical experiences and earning money to spend on their tuition fee and daily expenses, they
can develop their time management skills, hopefully preparing them for a promising future.

15/ “Children’s use of smart phones should be banned.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Well, this is a debate that has been argued time and again, I think, although there might be a
few advantages of children having mobile phones, they also have downsides that we should
consider before deciding whether to allow our children to use cell phones.

In terms of disadvantages, firstly, many studies recommend that mobile phones should not be
given to children below sixteen years of age because their brain is too sensitive to withstand
the effects of mobile radiation that can cause cell damage and children can have serious health
problems.
Secondly, cell phones can impact negatively their attention ability when children carry mobile
phones to their schools. They talk on the phone and send messages or play games during
school hours. They fail to concentrate on what is being taught in class because they are more
interested in their mobile phones.
Finally, almost all smartphones today have capable of internet access and h
In my opinion, we should not allow children to use cell phones. Even Bill Gates mentioned in
one of his interviews that he did not allow his children to use the phone before they were 14
years old. Although there might be a few advantages of children having mobile phones, there
are more adverse effects.

16/ “People have different reasons to watch movies at the cinema”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

It is no coincidence that many people like to watch movies in a cinema. Many movies are
invested a lot of money to have the shimmering and beautiful effects but movies will bring
different experiences depending on the place they are shown, at home, in the cinema, or on
other smart devices. There are some different reasons for people to watch movies at the cinema.

Firstly, the cinema offers an exciting and lively experience. The average cinema screen at 826”
and surround sound in the cinema is always professionally set up for the audience the optimum
experience.
Secondly, watching a movie in a cinema is not only enjoying a movie but also a great way to
connect with the emotions of those around you. It is a particularly enjoyable emotional
experience.

Finally, the cinema is always on the list of dating places for many young people. It's a great
place to socialize and date.
In conclusion, despite the convenience the smart devices provide for movie-watchers, I firmly
believe that cinemas remain an essential option, especially for movie-goers, who prefer
experience over convenience.

17/ “There are many reasons for people to take up a hobby”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

There are many reasons why we should have at least one hobby and pursue it, here are some
reasons.
Firstly, hobbies help us relax, relieve stress, find pleasure by keeping us engaged in something
we enjoy that is unrelated to work, housework, or other responsibilities.
Second, hobbies help reduce or escape boredom. They not only give us something to do in our
free time but also an activity that we can look forward to and get excited about.
Finally, hobbies create challenges for us. Many people find it difficult to be loyal with the only
hobby for a long time, they easily change them. If we can get over the challenges and pursue
our hobbies, we will create good quality for ourselves - that is a patient.
To sum up, there are many reasons for people to take up a hobby. In my opinion, pursuing our
hobby and doing what we love doesn't always lead us to succeed at career, but it can certainly
bring joy and happiness.

18/ “There are many factors that affect people’s choice of job”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Many factors affect people's choice of job. However, in my opinion, there are two main factors
for people to choose a career: personal factors and family-society factors.
In terms of personal factors, personality and interests are factors that many people care about
and consider when choosing a job. They tend to choose careers that match their personality. For
example, a character who does not like to interact with many people will choose jobs that can be


15

done alone, with little communication, such as accountants and clerical staffs.
In terms of family-society factors, many people choose to continue their family's traditional
profession such as business activities, craft villages. Or parents who work as teachers also orient
their children to study pedagogy. When choosing a school, many people often follow the trend
that graduates will have stable jobs and high salaries.
In short, the choice of job will be determined by different factors. The important thing is that we
need to consider carefully make the right choice for us

19/ “Technology brings many drawbacks to our life.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Just as a coin has two sides, besides the benefits, technology also has its own negative effects on
our life.
Firstly, people become more dependent on technology that they even cannot do their everyday
tasks without technology.
Secondly, there are some technologies that can do the hard work faster and easier and the cost
will be lower, this can be the cause that people become jobless.
Thirdly, nowadays people are spending more time playing video games, learning how to use
new modern technologies, using social networks and everyday social isolation is increasing.
Lastly, the use of technology can also have negative results on physical health causing vision
problems, hearing loss, and neck strain or etc. For example, many studies show that mobile
technology affects people in a negative way, especially, health. It can decrease communication
and relations between people. Also, it can be distracting from your schoolwork.
In conclusion, technology has changed people’s lives in both positive and negative ways. People
said that too much of anything is bad. I think we should use technology to a limit and be aware
of the bad effects of technology then that will be good for us.


20/ “Being a famous person brings many benefits.”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

To be a superstar is a dream of many people. Although there might be a few adverse effects,

professions that provides them a luxurious life and a secure future.
Secondly, if they want to start a business or enter similar professions, they will have a chance to
do better than others because of their fame.

Finally, superstars have the opportunity to influence millions of people and can motivate and
inspire fans as well as the general public. For example, celebrities can collect donations for the
services that charities provide to poor people.
In conclusion, fame combines with graciousness will bring many good things to both celebrities
and society. No wonder if we say that being famous is a big dream for many people around us.

21/ “Public transport brings a many benefits to the society”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel by public transports because it brings them
many benefits and convenience. In my opinion, there are third primary advantages.
Firstly, public transport contributes a lot of money in economic returns by ticket fee obtaining
and it can save time and money for personal vehicle owners many kinds of cost such as
maintenance and servicing, parking spaces, and fees at the various destinations.
Secondly, public transport carries many people on one vehicle, it burns less fuel and reduces air
pollution less than many individual vehicles put together. Besides, it can help reduce traffic
jams.
Thirdly, it allows people who cannot afford to buy their personal vehicles to travel. In addition,

public transport is a lot safer than other means because it must have safety standards to be used
for public transport.
In conclusion, in my opinion, although public transport is good for the environment and the
economy, and gives you many advantages as well, choosing public transport or personal
vehicles depends on the demands of each person. However, if you are in urgent situations, you
should not choose public transports.

Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.


Nowadays, it’s difficult to imagine a world without the internet. Our daily life tasks,
communication, and enjoyment depend mainly on the internet. And the widespread use of the
internet has a mostly positive effect on life in today’s world.
First of all, nowadays, it has become easy to connect with people worldwide and talk face-toface using
the internet. The internet shortens the distance between us, businesses or countries.
On the other hand, the internet brings us entertainment and news updates.
The next positive effect of the internet is in learning. The internet provides to us a free and huge
knowledge resource. Therefore, teachers and students can access them from any part of the
world and learn or research them. Especially, the student can easily communicate and ask
questions from their teachers in real-time via Viber, Zalo, and so on.

24/ “In my country, young people have a better life today than their parents enjoyed when they
were young.”

The world has changed in innumerable ways since my parents were in their youth. In my
opinion, my lifestyle is superior to the one they enjoyed at that time. I feel this way for two
reasons.
Firstly, my generation enjoys more leisure time, which makes our lives more fulfilling and
enables us to follow our passions. People today take more extended vacations and have more
paid time off from their jobs than either of my parents did before.

18


Secondly, society provides many more opportunities for women. In the past, women had a
tough time achieving personal and professional success. When I was young, I was encouraged
to attend university and later enter the workforce. On the other hand, my mother was expected
to raise children and be a home-maker.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that I have a more accessible and better life than my parents had
just a few decades ago. That is because I enjoy much more leisure time than they did and
especially, women today have many more opportunities than they did in the past.

25/ “People communicate with each other less than in the past because of the popularity of smart
phones.”

Although cell phones bring us many fantastic benefits, there are some adverse effects on our
health and our relationships with one another as well. In my opinion, smartphones make us less
communication than in the past in several ways.
Firstly, smartphones can isolate individuals. Even though smartphones can be used as
communication tools, they have become a substitute for face-to-face communication and
genuine relationships. Many people still communicate and stay connected with their friends
through smartphones, but they don't enthusiastic to meet up at large social gatherings or see
each other in person.
Secondly, smartphones might be addictive lead to us spend time looking at our phones, rather
than the people and the environment that is physically around us and the time with loved ones
becomes scarce. You are too dependent on them and always check your phone multiple times a
day, to check notifications from social media apps or email.
To sum up, experts have shown that using the wrong phone will adversely affect both physical
and psychological health. If this condition persists, it will reduce your quality of life. Especially
in terms of communication, it is true that "People are communicating less with each other than
before because of the popularity of smartphones."

26/ “My lifestyle is easier and more comfortable than the one my grandparents experienced when
they were young.”


Many people often think of the past life because they think it was more delightful than the
current life. Personally, however, I believe the past life has never been as easy as it is today
because of two reasons.
First, in the past, my grandparents could only get one-way official information from the national
television station, moreover, freedom and equality are not as highly valued as today. Now, I and

19

the younger generation are easy to access the information all aspects, especially we have
freedom of speech, are respected and equal.
Next, today, materials are available online serve for studying and researching instead of
rummaging through the library or asking around for teachers like my grandparents used to.
In short, my lifestyle is really easier and comfortable than my grandparents experienced when
they were young because I benefit from technology that makes daily tasks, entertainment, and
also housework never easier than it is today. It helps me save time, do daily tasks effectively,
and relax with a variety of forms.

27/ Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what type of neighbor is the best
to have?

-someone who is quiet
-someone who we are similar to
-someone who is supportive

Our neighbors have a direct influence on our lives. You know, it would be great if we could be
near the ideal neighbors who are ready to respect and help us. That is my view, so I hope my
neighbors also have these qualities.
First and foremost, for me, respect should be the first quality of neighbors. You know, "respect"
here is do not interfere with the privacy of others include personal life and personal living space.

The good neighbors do not talk about you behind your back and disturb the neighbors by
making noise. Politeness is also a way to show respect to your neighbors.
Secondly, when you face unexpected situations, the only ones who can assist you instantly are
those who live nearby. I have the experience be supportive by a wonderful neighbor when I
lived alone and was sick. And then she bought medicine and cooked porridge for me. I'm really
grateful for her help.
In conclusion, people said that "A stranger nearby is better than a far-away relative". In my
opinion, the kind of neighbor who always respects and helps me in difficult situations is the
best. I am lucky when having these ideal neighbors

28/ When you face difficult problems in life, what do you feel is the best way to solve them?
