universities to became an engineer, a architect, a lawyer a professor, a science.

Hầu hết những người làm công tác chuyên môn phải có thêm tri thức giáo dục vượt
ra ngoài cấp trung học.
Lượng thời gian giáo dục cần thiết của họ thay đổi tùy theo mức chuyên môn nghề
nghiệp. Họ phải đi đến các trường cao đẳng và đại học để trở thành một kỹ sư, một
kiến trúc sư, một luật sư, một giáo sư, một nhà khoa học.
Ý kiến của tôi về một công việc thú vị là nó hữu ích cho tương lai bản thân, gia
đình, đất nước và xã hội.

hạnh phúc và hữu ích.

TOPIC 7: Advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.
As we know, living in a big city is supplied move facilities than anywhere esle.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.
First, I think living in a big city dwellers are provided a lot of society services,
such as health care, education, good job and they have much chance to contac or
work with foreigners, residents can easily travel fast, thanks to good infrastructure.
In addtion that, social services help life be easy and comfortable.
On the other hand, people living in a big city have to suffer from many
disadvantages : smoke rising from factories and all kinds of vehicle on the streets
makes environment polluted and influence people's health. The noise all day and
night makes their minds tense. Traffic jams happen every day.

Bản dịch: Những thuận lợi và khó khăn của cuộc sống trong một thành phố lớn
Như chúng ta biết, sống trong một thành phố lớn được cung cấp phương tiện di
chuyển tốt hơn so với bất cứ nơi nào khác. Tuy nhiên, có thuận lợi và khó khăn khi
sinh sống tại một thành phố lớn.
Trước tiên, tui nghĩ rằng cư dân sống trong một thành phố lớn được cung cấp rất
nhiều dịch vụ xã hội, chẳng hạn như chăm nom sức khỏe, giáo dục, công việc tốt
và họ có nhiều thời cơ để liên lạc hoặc làm việc với người nước ngoài, các cư dân
có thể dễ dàng đi du lịch nhanh chóng, nhờ vào cơ sở hạ tầng tốt. Bên cạnh đó,
dịch vụ xã hội giúp cuộc sống dễ dàng và thoải mái.
Mặt khác, người dân sống ở thành phố lớn phải gánh chịu nhiều bất lợi : khói tăng
từ các nhà máy và các loại xe trên các đường phố làm cho môi trường ô nhiễm và
ảnh hưởng tới sức khỏe con người. Tiếng ồn cả ngày và đêm làm cho tâm trí của
họ căng thẳng. Ùn tắc giao thông xảy ra hàng ngày
TOPIC 8: My holiday
Last summer, I had a good holiday. I never forget that meaningful holiday. When I
came back my home from my holiday. First of all, I went to visit all my uncles and
aunts then I and some my friends went to visit all my old teachers. We talked about
our lives and works very much.
After that days, I stayed at home with my family. I helped my parents to paint the
house and did something else. I talked about my life in Ho Chi Minh city and my
work. My parents was very proud of me and I was very happy. After my holiday, I
came back Ho Chi Minh city to go on working. I think that I had a good holiday
and I’ll never forget it
Bản dịch: Kỳ nghỉ hè của tôi
Mùa hè năm ngoái, tui có một kỳ nghỉ tốt. tui không bao giờ quên kỳ nghỉ nghỉ hè
năm ngoái đầy ý nghĩa của tôi.
Khi tui trở về nhà cho kỳ nghỉ. Trước hết, tui đi thăm tất cả các bác, chú, cậu,
dượng và cô, dì, thím, mợ, bác gái của tôi.
Sau đó, tui cùng một số người bạn của tui đi thăm tất cả các thầy cô giáo cũ. Chúng
tui nói về cuộc sống và việc làm của chúng tui rất nhiều.

Sau những ngày đó, tui thường ở nhà với gia đình tôi. tui giúp bố mẹ tui sơn nhà
cửa và làm mọi thứ khác. tui nói về cuộc sống của tui ở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và
việc làm của tôi. Bố mẹ tui vừa rất tự hào về tui và tui rất hạnh phúc.
Sau kỳ nghỉ, tui trở lại thành phố Hồ Chí Minh để đi làm việc. tui nghĩ rằng: tui
vừa có một kỳ nghỉ thật là tốt và tui sẽ không bao giờ quên nó.
TOPIC 9: The means of transport you like most
If I have to decide which mean of transport I like most, it’ll be a car. Nowadays it
is really necessary for me and my family.
- Firstly, it is safer to drive a car than to ride a motorbike because in a car there are
air bags, seatbelts, car alarm… that prevent us from being injured if you have an
accident. Driving a car at night on a lonely road will safer than riding a motorbike.
- Secondly, you never have to think about the weather (such a rain, sun, storm, and
dark at night) when you drive. A car has air-conditioner which helps you to avoid
getting wet, dust… so it help to keep you healthy.
In the third place, a car is comfortable and fast. You can pretty much travel
wherever you want whenever you want within your local area, without having to
worry about the departure times and delays of the public transport system.
- Furthermore, you will feel comfortable and relaxed with the CD and DVD
machines on the car. You can listen music and you have pleasure of driving. When
you are tired, you can stop the journey and rest.
- Finally, if you have just the one car between you and your family, it can be
possible to share the vehicle between all of the family members thus providing
everyone with a mode of transport at all times.
TOPIC 10: The most useful machine in the twentieth century
Among the most useful inventins in the last century; I find the computer the most
important because of these reasons:
- First, when the computer is connected to the Internet, it is a good way of learning
anh getting information. You can read newspapers on line and download lots of
information from the web pages. Besides, you can learn online as well.
- Second, computers is convenient because it helps you work faster by typing,

printing document and storing data if you want.
- Finally, computer is a good way to entertain with many kinds of games and
entertainments. There are a lot of games and on line activities like forum or
facebook for you to share ideas and information with your friends. You can also
listen to music or watch movies if you like.
In short, computers are really useful and important to my life and my work.
TOPIC 11: Your favorite leisure activity (for women)
I often cook when I have free time because cooking is a joyful and relaxing activity
for me.
- First, cooking a good meal brings happiness to my family. All the members in my
family can gather around the table and enjoy the food I cook and talk and share the
joy with each others.
- Second, cooking is my favorite hobby because I’m a woman. Cooking is one way
to show my feminine character and to show my responsibility in the family.
- finally, cooking helps me reduce stress of everyday hard work and makes me
relaxed. When I cook, I can forget the problems that I have and just pay attention
to the cooking.
Maybe, after relaxing, I feel much happier and I can solve my problem.
In conclusion, cooking is my favourite activity when I have free time.
TOPIC 12: The advantages of living in the countryside
Living in the countryside is really good for your life because of these reasons:
- First, living in the country can bring you a clean evironment. The air is fresher
and there are lots of trees, rice fields and rivers, you can walk on the fields or along
the rivers to enjoy the clean and fresh air there in the early morning.
- Second, living in the countryside is cheaper than in the city because people there
have lower income and don’t have the habit of spending a lot of money. If you live
in the country, you can save a lot of money.
- Finally, people in the country are more friendly and opener than people in the city
because they live near each other. People live together in a small village so they
can talk countryside can have festivals and you can join and fell very happy.

In conclusin, there are many benefits of living in the country.
TOPIC 13: The disadvantages of living in the city
Many people find it difficult and unpleassant to live in the city because of these
reasons.
- First, the air in the city is getting more and polluted because the traffic is so
heavy, the city roads are in bad conditions and the population is really big. There
are fewer and fewer trees, lakes and rivers.
- Second, the cost of living is much higher than in the rural areas. People have to
spend more money on food, drink, clothes and other activities like traveling and
entertainment, while the salary has not been much improved.
- Finally, life in the city is more dangerous than in the countryside because of night
clubs, discotheques, casinos… City people are easily attracted by social evils such
as drinking, drug – talking or gambling… So, there are more crimes because some
people don’t want to work but only want money to play.
- In short, living in the city has many disadvantages so people have to struggle a lot
to survive.
TOPIC 14: Talk about your weekend activities
Weekend time is my favorite time in the week because I can enjoy myself and do
many relaxing activities I like.
In the morning, after a relaxing breakfast, I often call some of my friends to ask
them to go shopping with me. We spend the whole morning going shopping and
then have lunch in a restaurant in the centre of Hanoi.
Then, I come back home for a nap. In the afternoon, I often go swimming with my
neighbor if the weather is hot. In winter I go jogging in the central park instead. I
usually have dinner with my family during weekend, so we can talk with each
other and share our stories. After dinner, I sometime listen to music or surf the net
to chat with friends or check emails. I usually do not go to bed late because I will
have lots of work on Monday.

to survive.

People may have different hobbis such as listening to music, watching T.V,
dancing. playing games or collecting things. My hobby is to read books.
I enjoy reading many types of books, but my favorite is detective. I like reading
stories about Sherlock Holmes of author Conald Doyle. I often read books in the
evening after I finish preparing things for the next day’s work.
When I have free time, I often go to bookstores to look for new books. Once a
week, I go to the city library to read there. I sometimers read books on line if I
canot get hard copies of the books I want.
Books help me relax a lot after days of hard work. Thanks to books, I can broaden
my knowledge and learn new things.
TOPIC 16: The most interesting place you have been to
I have beeb to many places in Vietnam, but the most intersting place that I always
remember is Da Nang, the beautiful coastal city in Vietnam. It’s wonderful to me
because of these reasons.
First, the scenery in Da Nang is ideal for us to go sunbathing. We can swim in the
blue and clear sea water or do sunbathing on the soft sand beach under the yellow
and warm sunshine. The air is so fresh and pure.
Second, the local sea food are fresh, delicious but not expensive. For example,
tourists can enjoy different kinds of seafood such as crab, prawn, lobster,
seashell… Also, the people there are friendly, sociable and polite.
Third, there are many interesting activities to do beside playing football, tennis on
the beach, building sandcastles on the beach or watching the sunrise. For example,
we can sail on a boad trip to the Cu Lao Cham and watch the mountain scenery on
the way. Also, we may visit BaNa Hill….

TOPIC 19: Talk about your favorite television program
Among many programs and channels available on TV these days such as the
current news programs, sport programs, entertaining programs, educational

programs and movie programs, etc., I like the program “the World of Animals”
most.
This program is usually shown on VTV2 everyday at 8.30 in the evening. It often
lasts about 45 minutes. In this program, stories of the life of many animals in the
world are told in a very lively way. For example, people can watch films about
monkeys, snakes, tigers, insects, birds, sea turtles, sharks etc. … and even the
penguins and the polar bears in the far North. While watching these films, I find
the everyday life activities and habits of these animals very interesting and full
mysteries. In addition, I also learn that it is very important to protect these animals
and their living environments because they are part of our valuable natural world.
Watching this program makes me very well informed and relaxed after a day of
work.
TOPIC 20: Talk about your favorite sport
These days, people are practicing many types of sport such as swimming, running,
cycling, aerobics, tennis, table tennis, badminton, golf and football, etc…. My
favorite sport is jogging. Jogging is a simple sport to practice because you don’t
need any special or expensive equipment like other sports. In fact you just need a
good pair of trainers for your self . The most suitable place for jogging is a park or
somewhere around a lake near your house. You can also jog on a field or in the
forest if you are living in the countryside. For me, I jog for about an hour in the
afternoon everyday after work. I usually go jogging alone, but if possible you can
ask my family members, friends or neighbors to go with me. While we jog, we
often talk and share with each other about everyday life stories, so we feel that we
can reduce our stress. After going jogging each day, I feel that I am more relaxed
and fit again after a long day of work.
TOPIC 21: Talk about one of your close friends
I have had many friends so far, but Thanh Nga is one of my close friends. Nga is
about 30 years old and is now working a researcher at an institute
in Hanoi. We met each other when we were in the secondary school. During those
days, we went to school together everyday, studied in the same class and shared

with each other all the joys and sorrow, so we have become close friends since
then.
My friend Nga is not very tall, but pretty with long black hair and a nice smile. She
is a very sincere, modest and helpful person. She likes painting and painted many
pictures. Also, I can still remember that Nga was very good at literature and
foreign languages.
We often meet each other when we have time. When we are very busy, we often
talk to each other on the phone or we chat on the Internet. Whenever we meet, we
often go to see other friends, go shopping or sit in a quite place to have coffee. We
talk about our life and share with each other our good news or problems and see if
we can help each other. Nga is really a good friend of mine, a friend for life.
TOPIC 22: Talk about your house/flat
I live in a house in Hanoi … The house is in a small and quiet street in …………
district of Hanoi/…It takes about half an hout to go to the city center. The house
was built 5 years ago. It isn’t a big house and has two floors.
In my house there are 4 main rooms: a living room, a dining rooms, two bedrooms.
Besides, we have a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet.
We have a little but pretty garden; my family often spend our free time there to
grow plant and vegetables. Next to the garden there is a small yard where my
children often play after school.
In my house, I like the living room is my favorite one. This room was painted light
green, so we feel very pleasant. In this room, there is a tea table, a sofa and a
television. On the wall there is a couple of oil paintings. After dinner, our family
often spend time together talking to each other or watching a favorite TV program.

million vehicles of all kinds. Moreover, the streets are narrow and in bad condition.
Worse still, many people disobey the traffic regulations. Consequently, there are
many traffic accidents, which kill and injure hundreds of people every month.

widened; encourage city-dwellers to use public transport; the city people should be
educated to obey the traffic rules.

Life in the city is more convenient than in the countryside. In the city, the houses
are supplied with electricity and drinking-water. People go from place to place
very quicky by motorbite, by bus or by taxi. People can buy everything they need
in shops and supermarkets everywhere. There are so many interesting things to see

great deal may become less intelligent and less healthy.
Because of above reasons, we shouldn’t smoking.

know about weather.

TOPIC 45: If you were a billionaire, what would you do?
If I were a billionaire, I would build a vocational school for street children. The
following are the reasons of my decision. First of all, street children are very poor.
They have no job, no home, very little money. Their lives are unstable in streets. In
addition, street children are helpless. They are put aside society. Their bad
destinies are always in danger. Finally, street children are the results of the
mistakes of adults. They are innocent. Therefore, they are worth of being helped to
have a chance for a better life. It is the above-mentioned things that I decide to
build a vocational school for helping street children when I become a billionaire.
TOPIC 46: How many seasons are there in the South of Vietnam? Which one
do you prefer? Why?
Southern Vietnam has two seasons: wet season and dry season. However, I only
like the dry season because of the reasons as follows. Firstly, in the dry season, we
can do many things very conveniently and comfortably such as going to school,
going on picnic, traveling whenever I like, while in the wet season, rains day after
day prevent us from doing many things. Secondly, the dry season is always
peaceful for our living. On the contrary, floods, storms, thunders, landslides are
deadly disasters which often come in the rainy season. Last of all, the dry season is
the ideal time for earning-for-living activities of many people, especially the poor.
In the mean time, bad phenomena of weather usually happen in the wet season,
causing the life of very many people meet difficulties.
In summary, I prefer the dry season to the wet season because of the convenient
things that I have told you.

I think that computers are very useful for our life in many ways. First, computers
help us work conveniently and quickly. When we enter data and orders into a

useful for our study. Nowadays, with a computer connecting to the internet, we can
learn a lot of things all over the world. Moreover, computers are also wonderful
means of entertainment. With media soft-wares, we can enjoy all kinds of films,

plays and music. Last of all, computers can serve as neat storages. On a computer
we can store a lot of documents and memorial photographs safely for a long time.
In short, computers have been improving our life and work better and better.

TOPIC 48: What’s your favorite means of transportation? Why do you like
it?
My favorite means of transportation is the bicycle because of its conveniences.
First, bicycling helps you save money. To buy a car or a motorbike, you must pay
plenty of money, but you spend much less money to buy a bicycle. Also, while you
must pay for gasoline to use vehicles having engines, a bicycle requires no money
for gasoline at all. On the other hand, bicycling is good for your health. You sit still
as riding a motorbike, but with a bicycle, you surely have chances to do body
exercises regularly, keeping you healthier and healthier. Last but not least, bicycles
contribute to protect environment. Smokes from engines pollute the air day after
day; bicycling produces no pollution, making our atmosphere fresh and clean. The
abovementioned explain why I like bicycling most.
TOPIC 49: Do you have any problems in learning English? How do you
overcome them?
When I learn English, I meet many difficulties in speaking and listening. As for
speaking skill, I can not speak English well. My tongue is stiff. There are so many
English sounds that I can’t pronounce English correctly. Besides, I have no English
language environment. These obstacles prevent me from speaking English well. As
for listening skill, I can’t listen to English well, either. Owing to my bad English
pronunciation, I can’t understand much when the others speak English to me.
Furthermore, linking words is another problem for me because I am not familiar
with it. My bad ability of speaking and listening to English makes me find it very
terrible when I encounter this subject.
However, I have got some ways to overcome difficulties in speaking and listening
to English. As for speaking, I will spend much more time to practise with my
friends and even with myself. I will drill my pronunciations and ask for my English

teacher’s advice. As for listening, I will increase my time for listening to English
as well as learn experience from other people. I am optimistic that, my speaking
and listening skills will be improved soon.
TOPIC 50: Tell about how to keep healthy.
There are many ways to keep our health. First, we should eat nutritious food
moderately such as meat, eggs, and vegetables. Second, we should drink nutritious
beverage such as milk, wine. Moreover, we should do morning exercises regularly.
Thanks to doing body exercises every morning, we can lower the level of
cholesterol in our bodies and make the organs in our bodies work well. In addition,
we should also keep our mind relaxed since stressed moods always negatively
affect our health. At last, we should help other people in need. The more we help
the others, the more we want to be healthy to enjoy the happiness and
meaningfulness of our life. To sum up, there are many ways to keep our health if
we really pay attention to it
TOPIC 51: Describe the room that you like best in your house. Why do you
like it?
In my house, I like the living-room best because that is the place actively
influencing my family. First, the living-room is where my family get together
every evening to enjoy the cozy family atmosphere. At that moment, we often
watch TV, my parents give us advice, and we always chat with one another very
merrily. Also, the living-room is where we welcome visitors and guests. In my
house, it is the ideal place to receive everybody and they always feel happy and
comfortable to be in there. Moreover, the living-room is the best place to relax. It
is the place that is best equipped, so we always feel pleasant and peaceful there
when we have any mental problems. To sum up, the living room is the place that
always brings us positive things in our life.
TOPIC 52: Tell an experience that you never forget.
I never forget the moment that I received the news of my passing the university
entrance examination. When I saw my name on the list of passers, I felt so happy
that I was going to burst into tears. My parents were also very glad. They gave me

compliments, and showed me how they were pleased about my examination result.
My relatives and my friends offered me congratulations. At that time, it seemed
that I had been the apple in everybody’s eyes. I felt very proud of my self and
everybody felt proud of me, too. That is the sweetest memory that I have
experienced in my life so far.
TOPIC 53:Which places in Vietnam do you think are the most interesting for
visitors from other countries
In my view, two most interesting places that visitors should come in our country
are Ha Long Bay and Phu Tu Island. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful landscape in
Northern Vietnam. That is where there are thousands of strange-shaped islands and
limestone grottoes of all sizes covering a large sea zone in the Gulf of Tonkin. The
sea there is very calm while the sky above is often clear and bright, making the
whole panorama of Ha Long Bay strangely attractive and full of poetry. Similarly,
Phu Tu Island is really a beautiful scenery of Southern Vietnam. It locates in Hon
Chong area of Kien Giang Province. There, you will see a wonder of nature: two
high masses of stone, a big one and a small one, growing from a natural pedestal
on the sea surface like a father and a son watching over the sea day and night. Phu
Tu Island is the emblem of Kien Giang Province. However, the Island of Phu has
been collapsed recently due to a sudden weather incident and the authorities of
Kien Giang Province are planning to restore it as it used to be. Subjectively
speaking, the two sites that I have told you are the best to visit in this country.
TOPIC 54: How do you spend your weekends?
At weekends, I often spend time for my favorite activities. On Saturday evening, I
often go watching films in a café alone or with some of my friends. If I don’t
watch films, I play cards with my roommates and chat about all things that we can
imagine and go to bed very late. On Sunday morning, I also get up late to relax
since my busy study from Monday through Friday always makes me tired. Besides,
at weekends, I often buy delicious food to enjoy and to nourish my body. On
Sunday afternoon, I do nothing but relax and listen to music or watch TV. Every
once a month, I return to my homeland to visit my parents, my brothers and sisters,

my relatives and to ask my parents for money as well. As these routines happen
repeatedly, I am always happy and pleased with weekends I have enjoyed so far.
TOPIC 55: Talk about your daily routine. What are you activities in a
normal day?
My days are always busy and the same. My day begins very early in the morning. I
usually get up a 4.30 am. After having got up, I clear my bed, clean my face, brush
my teeth and do morning exercises. At about 5.30, I wash my dirty clothes and
take a bath. I often have breakfast at 6.30. After having had breakfast, I prepare my
books and notebooks, and go to school. I study at school from 7.00 am to 11.00
am. At noon, I get home at 11.00 and prepare for lunch. I usually finish my lunch
at 11.50 and then I rest and take a nap. In the afternoon, I often learn in the library
from 1.30 pm till 4.30 pm. After that I go to market to buy food for dinner. I
usually finish cooking for dinner at about 5.30 and have dinner until 6.00 pm. In
the evening, from 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm, I often take a rest, read newspapers, and
listen to music. From 7.00 pm to 9.30 pm, I am self-taught in the school library. I
usually get to my living-place at about 9.45. After that, I go to bed. I often sleep
until 4.30 am of the next morning when a new day of mine begins. Although my
daily routine is busy, I am very pleased with it. That’s all.
TOPIC 56: What do you like and dislike?
I like helping my friends because when I do something good for the others, I
receive new exhilaration, making me feel more interested and happier. First, each
help that I have given to a friend brings me a lovely memory. The friend receiving
my help often offers me a special attention in our friendship. Second, helping my
friends makes my life meaningful. The more I do good things for everybody, the
more I feel proud of my existence in this life. Moreover, helping friends also
means helping yourself. Everybody sees your good heart and thus it is sure that
they will not forsake you when you fall in difficulties. It is the immediate benefits
that I have told you make me fond of helping my friends.
I hate telling a lie because it brings many dangers. Firstly, telling a lie make
everybody not respect us. We know that telling a lie is not good. When we do so, it

means that we do not respect ourselves and thus other people also do not respect
us. Secondly, telling a lie negatively affects our jobs. When everybody doesn’t
trust us, it is really difficult for us to deal with partners in our business. Thirdly,
telling a lie unintentionally hurts our kin people. They are surely very shameful
when other people know that they are kin to liars like us. It is the bad effects in
such a chain that I do not like telling a lie at all.
TOPIC 57: Talk about your last holiday. When? Where? What? And how?
My most recent holiday is the trip to Hon Chong two months ago. That trip was at
weekends. On that Saturday morning, my friends and I departed very early by
motorbike. We rode non-stop from Long Xuyen to Rach Gia city where we
stopped for 30 minutes to relax. We spent approximately one hour to go around
Rach Gia city. At about 11.00 am, we began to head to Hon Chong. We arrived at
Hon Chong at about 3.30. On that afternoon, we rent a room in a hotel in Hon
Chong to stay overnight. From 4.30 pm to 5.30 on that same day, we went taking a
sea bath. After that, we went back to our hotel to take a bath with fresh water and
have dinner. In the evening, we ate seafood in a small restaurant by the sea and
enjoyed the romantic nightfall scenery for 2 hours. We went to bed at 10.30 pm in
that night. When the dawn of the next day came, we visited Hang Pagoda, Tu
Island (which used to be named Phu Tu Island but the Phu Island has collapsed
recently due to a natural incident). At 9.30 on Sunday morning, we left Hon Chong
