1:

A

lesson/

lecture
I’m going to talk about
the English 7 reading
lesson that impressed me
a lot when I attended
secondary school.
It was quite long time
ago, so I can’t remember
the details but the lesson
was
about
chores.
Mr.Nam, my English
teacher, was slim but had
a deep voice, who made a
good impression on me
about the lesson.

to the lesson by making a

short survey on students’
family. We not only got
familiar with the topic but
also had a good chance to
know about well. In the
main part, instead of
asking students to read
the text, he role-played as
characters and using real
objects that he prepared
to demonstrate. During
the lesson, there were
many
chances
for
students to talk about
doing housework, and get
involved in competitive
and educational games.
By
this
way,
I
remembered new words
in class and nourished
speaking skill.
Topic 2: Future plans

In the lesson, I took part
in games and activities

that were funny and
useful, such as role
playing and guessing
game.

I’m going to talk about
my intention in the
foreseeable future which
is
to
establish
an
educational centre in my
hometown.

I found the lesson
fascinating because of
teaching methods. It was
really a communicative
method. The teacher led

Finishing my graduation,
I have worked for a
private school. I have
planned to work until I’m
35 and then have early

retirement. I am aware of
high demand for study
now, not only for

knowledge but also living
skill.
To achieve my future
plan, I need to prepare
well, both finance and
capacity. The amount of
money I’m currently
saving per month should
allow me to start my
dream.
Moreover,
attending
teaching
method courses is really
necessary to improve my
pedagogy. I will have
close
friends
as
employees and authorities
of teaching, initially I will
work in the centre for 2
years to make it run
smoothly. When
the
business would go on
with its own path, I will
enjoy my vacation.
Establishing a centre is
important to me because I

can prove my capacity of
teaching
and
administration. In spite of
hardship, I have already
taken some steps to make
the plan become true.


Topic 3: A product
I’d like to talk about one
technological device that
I have purchased recently
but didn’t live up to my
expectation.
It would be probably 1
year or so when I bought
a cell phone. I bought
Nokia 630 at a shopping
mall.
I saved money to
purchase a smartl phone
over 4 months that would
allow me to use the
internet
and
install
applications. Due to my
budget
deficiency

I
thought Nokia 630 would
be a good choice and then
I was convinced by a
salesman to buy this one.
I spent almost half an
hour testing the phone
before purchasing it.
I used the smart phone for
u couple of weeks
smoothly and I was really
satisfied with it functions.
However, in one day, it
started
malfunctioning
even though Iused it very
carefully. The problem
was that the touch buttom

didn’t work and I
couldn’t ultilize any
more.
I tried to contact with the
service centre and was
informed that the cell
phone would be checked.
One week later, I took it
back and it worked well.
All of a sudden, the smart
phone had problem with

touch functionality again.
One more time, I had it
fixed in shopping mall.
However,
this
issuerepeated.
Initially, I didn’t use it
and decided to purchase
another cell phone that
made me satisfied.
Topic 4: Tourist site
I’d like to talk about one
of my favourite tourist
destination.

In
regard
to
accommodation, although
there
were
multiple
choices of hotels, we
liked to stay in homestay.
The reason is that
homestay
is
more
reasonable. Moreover, we
had to book a room in

advance because it’s now
perfect time to visit Da
Nang.
To enjoy the natural and
cultural beauty in the city,
Ba Na Hill is one of the
most
interesting
destinations to see. We
went to and spend all day
joining
games
and
activities there. It was
really awesome to enjoy
the feeling of being in the
air in the cable car and
grasp the whole city.
For activities, a visit to
night
market
was
fantastic. We bought a lot
of souvenirs as present
for family and friends.
Besides, we joined a
range of local events such
as music festivals, street
shows.

After receiving result of
university entrance exam,
I got a vacation in Da
Nang that was spondsered
by my parents as a gift for
my efforts.

It’s a pity that you don’t
try local food. Not only is
it diverse but delicious
and highly nutritious.

I spent 4 days in Da Nang
with my friends.

I’d like to talk about my
special gift.

Topic 5: A favourite
present


On my birthday, I
received
one
unforgettable
birthday
gift from my best friend,
an unprofessional tailor,
which is a shirt.

The interesting thing is
that she made it by
herself. Nevertheless to
say, she also made
another for her, so we had
a couple of shirts. At the
back of these shirts, she
put our nickname on,
accompanied with cute
icons.
On meetings or hanging
out with my classmates, I
and my friend often wore
the shirts and made them
surprising. Form some
distance, people often
mistook me for her
because of our things in
common. Our body is
slim with short hair and
oval face. I liked to show
off how awesome I felt to
dress the shirt up.
Although tailor lines on
sleeves and body shew
her
unprofession
of
tailoring, her emotion and
sincere were all tied in

the shirts. I will keep the
gift carefully, my symbol
of true friendship.
Topic 6: A company
I’d like to talk about an
enterprise that I wish to
work in. Last year, I had a
chance to do an internship

in Vincom for 3 months,
and it is my dream
workplace where I want
to apply for a job.
Vincom, the real estate
company, is supposed to
be the most important
sector which makes great
contribution
to
the
success of the Vingroup.
They have taken over a
lot of well-known resorts,
luxury villas around
Vietnam.
My major involves the
property business, so I
wish to work there. Staff
are dynamic and work
professionally.

They
formulate their business
strategy clearly and try to
reach the targets which
they have set.
It was a valuable chance
for me to broaden my
own knowledge not only
in my major but also in
many other fields. It will
enhance my soft skills
and enlarge my social
network. Therefore, I will
try my best to become an
employee in Vincom in
the near future.

Topic 7: Festival/Event
I’d like to talk about a
traditional festival I’ve
ever experienced in my
country, which is New
Year.
New Year day is one of
the
most
widely
celebrated
festivals.
People celebrate with

great joy, hope and
numerous
cultural
programs. It takes place
once a year, falls on the
first days of January
annually.
I and my family prepared
to celebrate it about one
week in advance. We
cleaned the house and
went to the market to buy
flowers and candies. The
most interesting is that
my parents often make
banh chung ,and all
family members gathered
around
and
cooked
through night.
On New Year Eve, I and
my
family
gathered
together, ate food, prayed
for the prosperity and best
things, and stayed awake
till late night to enjoy
firework displays.

When I was a little boy,
my mother often bought
me new clothes to wear at
New Year. But now I’m
mature, it’s no longer
important
to
me.
However, I chose the


most beautiful costume to
wear.
It is an important festival.
Traditionally, we start the
year with the hope of
eliminating the bitterness
and failure of the past
year and start a fresh year
with that of fortune and
happiness.
Topic 8: A café
I’d like to talk about a
café that made a great
impression on me.
A month ago, I went to a
café to attend a birthday
celebration of one of my
friends and this was a
unique place that caught

my eyes. Its name is
“Chạm” nearby the centre
shopping mall. I was a bit
inquisitive about the café
when hearing the name.
But after I reached there,
I found out it was quite a
large place and in fact
well-furnished than a
conventional
party
centre.
It was a Friday evening
when one of my friends
reminded me the birthday
invitation
of
Trung.
Having bought a small
gift for Trung, I and my
friends went to the café.
About 15 people attended
the party, most of whom
are
my
friends.
Differently from other
parties with noisy music,
this one was a bit

peaceful. Invitees all
wished Trung a happy
birthday party and best
things. I sat on a corner,
slowly sipped my wine
and enjoy soft music. To
my amazement, over 10
items were served which
were white heavy for an
evening meal. I felt like
they shone a corner in the
café.
I had to say I had a very
delightful experience in
this
café.
The
environment was quite
unique with gorgeous
painting and decoration
along with delicious food
and friendly service.
Topic 9: A party
I’d like to talk about my
plan to celebrate coming
wedding anniversary of
my parents.
Invitees of the party will
be just family members,
so we can have private

time to be together.
In regard to place and
date, because the exact
date
of
wedding
anniversary is on Friday
while
almost
family
members come back
home late, it would be
better if I leave the party
one day later. That means
we can enjoy the party
comfortably
without
worries of work. A café
might be better than a
restaurant as my parents
like to go to the café.

I and my sister all wish
my parents a happy life
and good health. We will
enjoy the party with cake
first with my parents’
photo on, sitting on a
corner, slowly sip wine
and enjoy soft music

together. But to make
them amazing, about 10
items will be served
which are white heavy for
an evening meal. I
imagine they will shine a
corner in the café.
I and my sister want to
hold a special party for
my parents. We just want
to show our love and
grace for their sacrifice.
Topic 10: An enjoyable
day
I’d like to talk about one
day that I couldn’t forget.
It was one years ago
when I had my very first
motorbike trip with my
friends to the first and
most ancient village
which is located in the
North of my countryside.
Our group of three, I and
two my friends chose to
visit that village because
we wanted to get away
from the hustle and bustle
of the city and get off the
beaten

track. Moreover, because
the village is also the
hometown
of
my
grandparent, I felt really
excited to visit the village
and get a closer insight


into the lifestyle of local
people as well as my
grandparents.
One day of May, we left
home in the early
morning. It took us about
two hours and a half to
reach there. We got to
the picturesque
village which made me
feel over the moon. We
rented some bikes to
cycle
around
the
village. After riding a
bike to the paddy
field, we
visited
an

ancient house which
made of mud where the
local people gathered for
festival celebration or
public meeting. After
that, we had lunch with
food which is locally and
organically grown. In the
afternoon, we joined a
cooking class with the
villagers
who
were
extremely friendly. The
highlight of the trip to the
village was going to the
paddy fields to help the
farmers harvest the crop.
It was such an once-in-alifetime experience which
I really enjoyed.

It’s a pity that you don’t
try local food. Not only is
it diverse but delicious
and highly nutritious.
