Topic 1: I’ve just seen a brilliant programe about dolphins on
television. Which programes have you enjoyed recently? How much
television do you watch?
Dear John
I’m very happy when I received your letter. I know you’ve just seen a
brilliant programne about dolphins on television. I’m writing this letter to
tell you about programes i have enjoyed recently.
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 DISCOVERY
CHANNEL every day at 9 o’clock in the evening on CHANNEL 40 if you have
payment television povided by VTV Cab. It’s also available on satellite
digital televison like K+. 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,the world under water and even the penguins and the polar
bears in the far North & Sound Poles..etc. It’s really interesting and
fascinating. I absolutely admire the filmmakers, cameramen and their coworkers about what they did to bring us lively , dangerous and spectacular
scenes of wildlife. Sometimes, I have to utter : “ Oh My God “ , “ How coud
they film that ?
“ It’s unbelieveble when they filmed a hungry big white shark chasing prey
or a King cobra snake – the world's longest venomous snake opening his
mount to bit and spray venom to cameraman. That’s trully dangerous
situation. I think Vietnamese filmmakers can’t ever do the same thing as
they do. 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. I don’t spend much time watching tv every day . I just
want to watch Discovery Channel and News to get information about life,
economic, politics…etc. Another time I spend surfing web, reading books or
going out with my friends. It’s much better than spend a lot of time
watching Tv.
That’s all for now. I hope to see you soon
See you
Topic 2: My daily life is busy and has a lot of fun. What about you?
Please describle your weekday. How do you deal with your work
during the day? What are your hobbies after working? Do you enjoy
your life?
Dear John


I’m very happy when I received your letter. I’m writing this letter to tell you
about my daily life. It seems my life is always very full of activities and
obligations so I never have much time for myself. During the week I’m very
busy. On weekdays, I usually have to get up at half past six even though I
would really prefer to sleep much later. After I get up I perform my morning
routine of washing my face, brushing my teeth....I usually have breakfast at
quarter to seven in the morning. After getting dressed, I drive to my office
and my workday starts at eight o'clock with plenty of work to deal with.
Sometimes, it causes my stress but I love my job as a civil engineer. I have
lunch at 12 o’clock, after that I take a nap in an hour to refresh my mind. I
continue working until 5pm. I get home at 6 o’clock and playing football is
my favourite sport after work. It helps me healthy and keep fit. I have
dinner with my parent at 8 o’clock. I like watching tv or reading book after
dinner. If I go out to meet my friends or have dinner…etc, I will come home
by 11 p.m because my parents do not allow me to come home late.
Checking mail or comments on my facebook is the last thing I do

before going to bed. I love my life and really enjoy it!
That’s all for now. I Hope to see you soon
Topic 3: I’ve just joined a film club. I’ve already seen some fantastic films. What kind of
films do you like watching?
Dear John
I’m very happy when I received your letter. I know you have just joined a
film club! That’s great. I’m writing this letter to tell you about my favourite
kind of film I like watching. I’m very interested in Comedy films. As you
know, There are many forms of expression inside of everybody; however
the most common form is laughter. The sound of laughter can be heard all
around the worlds every second, it helps us relieve stress and makes us feel
better about ourselves. Comedy films play such an important role in helping
us laugh. There are many forms of films out there today. In spite of the
recent incline in action and horror films today, comedy films has always
been my number one choice because it gives people an opportunity to look
at humor in life, it usually has a pointless, useless moral that we can relate
to, and it allows you to look at things in a new light and possibly expand
your horizon to become a more optimistic person. All comedies always have
one essential ingredient to make it a great comedy, humor. All comedies
give people an opportunity to look at humor in life and laugh at it.
Comedies usually show a hilarious scene for people to enjoy and laugh at.
Many scenes which has a outburst of crazy and ridiculous moments will not
usually happen in our daily life, but its fun to enjoy. I often watch comedies
when I get upset, have streess because, laughing help me relax và bring
balance back to me. My favourite actors and actress are Xuan Hinh, Hoai
Linh Cam Van, Van Dung …etc. I can’t help laughing


when I watch their commedies or hilarious sitcoms . It’s really fun and very
helpful to relieve stress. That’s the reason why I love waching comedy films.

That’s all for now. I hope to see you soon
See you.

Topic 4: You went to a party last weekend, didn’t you? Did you have a good time there?
Tell me about that party?
Dear john.
I’m very happy when I received your letter. I’m writing this letter to tell you
about the party I went last week. That was my best friend birthday party.
Huong is my close friend. She turned 25 recently and her parents held a
birthday party for her. I was one of those invited. The party began at about
three in the afternoon. There were about twenty guests gathered in her
house. We were all dressed in our best clothes. Everyone, especially Huong
was very happy. We gave our presents to her and she happily opened them.
It must really be exciting to receive all those presents. After that her mother
served us soft drinks and delicious titbits. We then played some games like
"Musical Chairs" and "Treasure Hunt". The winners were given prizes. At
about four-thirty her father brought out the birthday cake. It was beautifully
decorated with pink and white icream. 25 colorful candles sat in the middle
of the cake. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Huong after which she blew
out the candles and cut the cake.
Everyone clapped out hands eagerly. We helped ourselves to slices of the
delicious cake. Then we continued our games. Finally at about six in the
evening the party came to an end. We were all tired but happy. I helped
Huong and her parent clean up the mess we made. After that I walked home
with a very good feeling .
That’s all for now. Hope to see you soon

Topic 5 : in your last letter, you said you had moved to a new house
in the city, what does it look like? What kind of furniture have you
got? Tell me about it

Dear John !
I’m very glad when I received your letter. I’m writing to you now to tell
about my new house in Hanoi city. My house is on a small and quiet street
in Hai Ba Trung district and the neighborhood is really nice. It takes about
half an hour to go to the city center and 40 minutes to drive to my office.
There are some shopping centers, supermarkets near my house that’s the


reasons why we bought this house. It isn’t a big house was built 5 years
ago and painted in yellow. There is also a small garden where I can
grow vegetables and
flowers. Next to the garden there is a small yard where my children often
play after school. There are 3 floors and four main rooms in my house:
a living room, a dining rooms, two bedrooms. Besides, we have a
kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. I like the living room was painted in light
green. In this room, we have a tea table, a sofa, a television and there are a
couple of oil paintings on the wall. After dinner, our family often spend time
together talking to each other or watching our favourite TV program. I love
my house.
Every day, when I come back home from work, I have a warm feeling of
being together with my whole family. Last week, I decided to buy a new
shelf and a sofa at a furniture shop. They were delivered to my house
yesterday. I put the shelf next to the table on the left. The bright color of the
shelf goes well with the color of the wall behind it. I put the sofa in the right
corner of the bed to sit on when I want to watch TV or read
books . Although it is quite far from my house to office, I still like it because
it’s very quiet and comfortable. I really like my new house !
Well, that’s all for now. Hope to see you soon.
See you,

schedule , supervision on the site sometimes …. Besides, I also need to
coordinate my work with other departments in our company in order to run
the company’s business smoothly. To do this job besides my university
degree, I have to do some training courses in construction project
management, site supervison, designing etc…
In addition, the other skills required for this job are communication, time
management, teamwork and presentation skills, etc…I really like my job

sport. Tell me about it. Why do you like it.
Dear friend
I’m so glad to receive your letter.
My favourite sport is football- the most popular sport in the world, is well
known as “ King” sport. In America, people call it Soccer, but I like to call it
Football. I idolize Barcelona football club and Messi is my favourite football
player. I’ve never missed any matches of them although it’s always live at
midnight.
I began to play football when I was 6 years old. So far, I have been playing
football with my friends on the wide yard near my house in free time, after
school or after work every day . It clearly that playing football make me fit,
healthy, avoid some disease. In addition, like the other sports, football help
me make new friends when I take part in some football team. I meet many
young and elderly people playing football with me. They not only help me in

every match but also share me everything in daily life and so on. Especially,
football make me enjoy my life after stressful working hours. Therefore, I
like football the most due to several reasons above.
That’s all for now. Hope to see you soon

Topic 9: I guess there are many traditional festival in your country.
What is the most important one? Why do people celebrate this
festival?
Dear friend,


I’ve just received your email in which you asked me to tell you about
the most important traditional festival in my country. There are a number of
festivals in VN but the most important one is certainly TET. It is the time
when family members come home from all parts of the country to have
family reunion. It is often a one – week holiday. Before Tet, people often
redecorate their houses by repainting walls, buying beautiful flowers,
bonsais, food, drinks, cakes, candies…During Tet, people visit their
relatives, teachers,
friends. People wish each other good luck, good health and good success.
Tet is time for each person come back home, meet again friends,
relatives and has some great parties after a busy year. They also go
to temples, pagodas to pray the best luck for their families. Children are so
happy because they are given new clothes and they receive lucky money in
red envelops from adults. What about the most important holiday in your
country?
That’s all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.

Topic 10 : In your next leter, could you give me sme advice? Tell me
how to keep fit and healthy!
Dear John
I’m very happy when I received your letter. If you want to have good health,
you should follow these pieces of advice: First, you should eat healthy food:
lots of fruits, vegetable, fish and drink enough water everydat to stay
healthy. The Japanese eat a lot of fish so thay live very long. You should eat
less meat and fat food because they may cause heart diseases and increase
the cholesterol level in your blood. Fruits and vegetables no only bring you
lots of vitamins and minerals but also help you have a better immune
system.
Second, you should exercise everyday by choosing a suitable sport such as
jogging, tennis, swimming, yoga… They not only make you strong but help
you relax as well. So, it helps you keep fit and stay healthy. If you don’t
have much time, you just need to do moring exercises regularly.
Finally, you need to have regular health check – up. If you have some
problems with your health, you should go to the doctor immediately before
it gets more serious. You should visit the doctor regularly in order to find out
any diseases you may have, so that you have a better chance to get rid of
it.
In short, if you take this advice, you will have a good health. That’s all for
now.
Hope to see you soon!
See you
