Topic 1: You agree to meet your English- speaking friend tomorrow but now you can’t go. Write
an email to him or her to apologise, explain why you can’t meet and suggest meeting another
day.
Start with: Dear Ann/ Tom; End with: Nguyen Phan
Dear Ann
16
By right we’re meeting each other tomorrow. But my apologies, I’ll not be able to see you. I
will be having a formal year-end meeting at my company. The meeting is about the reflection
and review of our company’s progress this year so it is really important. Besides, I will be in
charge of the whole programe like doing presentation and setting up visualiser. I’m really sorry
that I can’t see you. I’d appreciate if you understand and I’m sure we will have another chance
to meet up soon. Perhaps we can meet on New year’s Day if you are free on that day. It will
definitely be exciting and we will have fun time together, talking and enjoying ourselves.
Lots of love
Nguyen Phan
Topic 2: Describe your ideal house
Iam a nature lover. Thus, I want my house to have great view with alot of trees around. And
I can breathe in clean and fresh air. This kind of environment around my house would be
pleasant. Moreover, the rooms should have good ventilation so that I can feel comfortable. In
addition, I want a balcony in my house so that in the morning I can go there and enjoy the
sunlight shining into my house. To have all these conditions, my house should be located in a
peaceful and quiet area, perhaps in the outskirt of the city and far from traffic roads. On top of
that, I want to see my house painted in blue beacaus this colour symbolizes peace. Finally, it
would certainly be excellent if the security of my house is good. There should be security guard
all day and night watching over our house.
Topic 3: Write about your typical day at work
I am a sale manager in charge of business so my working day is very flexible that depends
on the customers, projects and time. But basically, my working day includes the following
tasks:
In the morning I often go to the office at 8:30 and the first important work to be done is to
swipe my ID staff card. From 8:30 to 9:00 is the time to open the computer, drink water and
chat with colleagues. Then I check and answer emails from 9:00 to 9:30. From 9:30 to 10:00 is
usually used to check which things have not been resolved yet and arrange emergent things to
17
solve first. From 10:00 to 12:00 is flexible time, I can meet customers, have group meeting and
department meeting at the company, or read jobs related and useful documents, etc. From 12:00
to 1:30 is for lunch and rest. I have lunch at the company or occasionally have lunch with
customers. Then I have a short sleep at noon in the company. Working hours of the afternoon
are from 1:30 to 6:00. From 1:30 to 2:00 is time to surf the internet to update information and
other issues related to my job. I often meet customers from 2:00 to 4:00 at the coffee or the
customer's office. Time from 4:00 to 5:00 is for checking and solving the remaining things that
have not been solved yet. From 5:00 to 6:00 is the time to check and reply to emails and read
documents. My working day ends at 6:00 pm. Before leaving the office, I always remember
doing one thing very similar in the morning is to swipe my ID staff card.
Topic 4: Do you think teenagers should work? Why (not)?
In my opinion teenagers should work but they just work out of learning hours at school. The
problem is that what they do, how they can manage their time not to affect their learning.
Their working makes them more dynamic. They can open up their vision rather than being
constrained within the family and school. In working environment, they can meet more people
and get more new friends.
With the working, they can have experience and prepare well for their future. It helps them
know how the working environment is and what they need to prepare. Then they have the

stories. At this time, I am reading a famous novel called “Great Gatsby”. My second hobby is

hobbies that you should enjoy in the free time
Topic 7: Write a passage about one of your unforgettable holidays (xem kỹ)
Last year I had a very interesting and unforgettable holiday with my family. It was five-day
holiday in Bangkok. We flew there by air and stayed in a hotel near the river. The hotel was
comfortable, but quite expensive. We liked the food very much but we didn’t like the weather-
it was very hot. There were a lot of tourists there, they were from different countries. My
children were fond of talking with them in English. The city was enormous so we didn’t walk
very much. We travelled on the new overhead railway. It was very fast and comfortable. We
19
visited a lot of temples and we watched the boats on the river. We visited some fantastic street
markets and bought a lot of souvernirs. We had very happy days there. It was our unforgetable
holiday.
Topic 8: Write about some things exciting you like to do for relaxing
I am a state employee, I have to work 5 days a week, so I’m very busy. After the work,
reading is one of activities I like to do for relaxing. I read story books, magazines, newspapers
and any kind of material that I find interested. This hobby got started when I was a little girl. I
wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me. But they got fed up and tired of
having to read the same stories again and again. I started to read simple fairy tales and other
stories by myself. Now I read anything that is available. Reading enables me to learn about so
many things that I do not know. I could learn about ther wounders of the world, space travel,
human achievements, animals, world news and other fascinating things of our world.

In this era, life is busy and fast-pace. Therefore, peole tend to get stressed quite easily.
Thus, people hope to find ways to cope with stress and stay happily. I have my own ways to be

after every working week. We as a family do a lot of things together to relax and have fun. We
may go shopping at a suppermarket or going to an amusement park. It is truly entertaining or
we also enjoy gardening because it’s very relaxing. Sometimes, we change our weekend
activities by meeting up with friends. We usually eat out together or watch nice movies.
Additionally, on special occasion like birthday of anyone in my family, I invite some of my
friends and relatives to come over to my house for birthday celebration. These are some tips to
have a happy life. Happiness is also very good for health. That’s why I’m really comcerned
about how to stay happily.
Topic 10: what do you think of TV program today?
One can watch a variety of program on TV today. Moreover, the programs are high-quality
