1. A friend of yours wants to take a short tour around Hoi An, an ancient town in Viet Nam.
He has only one hour for the tour. There are three means suggested: by motorbike, by bike,
and on foot. Which means of transport do you think it is the best choice?
In my opinion, he should travel by bike.
Firstly, travelling by bike is the most convenient. Hoi An is not too big. He doesn’t need to travel
by motorbike. In addition, the streets are too narrow to go by motorbike. He only has an hour to
visit . So, if he walks, he can’t go through the whole town and maybe it’s tiring to walk. While he
goes by bike, he can stop to take photos, to buy souvenirs and enjoy the street food easily.
Secondly, it’s more interesting to go around Hoi An by bike. He can watch the old houses with
lanterns along the street sides. He can also enjoin the peaceful atmosphere while he is riding the
bike.
Moreover, if he like to see stunning landscape, he can travel away from the town center to
explore the villages where local people live and work.
In short, travelling by bike is not only convenient but also relaxing.
2. You are having a day off at the weekend. You would like to watch TV with your family.
Three different things you could watch are suggested: a sports program, a short movie, and a
game show. Which do you decide is the best?

In my opinion, I decide to watch a game show with my family.
Firstly, watching a game show is good way to teach ourselves. We can learn more from games
show than a movie. The games show help me widen my knowledges while it’s hard to learn how
to play sport without a coach.
Secondly, it’s exciting to guess the answers and discuss about results. There is more information
from the games show to talk about than from a sport game. Moreover, it’s also an opportunity to
give our own idea or to share and update our knowledges.
To sum up, watching games show is not only relax but also learn a lot.
3. Your friend is between his/her mind about choosing one of these sports: swimming, football
and boxing. Which do you think is the best for him/her?
I think, swimming is the best sport for her.
Firstly, swimming is better than other sports. It helps maintain a healthy weight, heart and lungs.
It’s help her reduce stress as well. She will have a good body build if he swims regularly. It
builds endurance, muscle strength. It lowers risk of diseases like heart disease, stroke or diabetes.
Secondly, swimming is suitable for her. Due to her hectic schedule. She doesn’t have much time
for activity. She can go swimming on weekend. She can go swimming alone without partner or
teammates like boxing and football. Boxing is too hard for her because she have to practice
regularly. Football is more suitable for man than woman.

By all means, she should take swimming to have a good body and healthy.
4. You are thinking about getting a partime job to earn some money for your study. Three jobs
you can do are suggested: a tutor, a tour guide and a waiter. Which job do you think is the
most suitable for you?
Being a tour guide is the most suitable.
Firstly, I am sociable and outgoing. As a tour guide, I can talk, discuss, joke and share experience
with tourist. While teaching or working in café is more formal. Going some where while working

inside if I am a tutor.
Secondly, when I am a tour guide, I have opportunities to discover my country and the world. I
can spend vacation exploring new places, learn more about the culture, language, food…whereas
do the same things everyday as a tutor or a waiter.
In summary, being a tour guide is suitable for my personally. More interesting to go sightseeing
and earn extra money.
5. Your father would like to give you something relaxing for your birthday. Three things you
need are suggested: computer, a television set, an MP3 player. Which do you decide to take?
I will take a computer.
Firstly, a computer has more functions than a television or MP3 player. I can listen to music,
watch video, play games or even phone and chat with my friends and relatives. While just watch
some TV programs with a TV set, or only listen to music on an MP3 player. A computer is the
most suitable for me to relax.
Secondly, I not only relax but also work with a computer. I need a computer to study and do my
research whereas not work with MP player or television set.
Listen to music and work on the computer as the same time, while listen to music on an MP3
player, I still need a computer to work with.
In conclusion, a computer is the most useful for both relaxation and work.

vegetable, fruit and nutritious food, reduce fatty food, soft drink, alcohol beverage and no
smoking.
Moreover, to have a good spirit, we should spend time with family or friend. We can have
meals, watch TV with family or go out for a drink, travel with friend.
To sum up, I think if we do those things we will have a healthy life.
Topic 2: Discuss the factors that affect people’s choice of job
We often choose job for different factors. In my opinion, there are three main reasons:
Firstly, the job must be suitable for their person abilities. People can work more
effectively if the job fits their personality. For example, sellers will sell a lot of products
when they are extrovert and prefer to communication.
Secondly, people choose the job that they like. If they like it, they will happy when they
work. But they will do it badly and finish it as soon as possible.
Finally, money earning is important to choose a job. Because we need money to support
ourself, our family. Moreover, salary must be equivalent to what we do.
To sum up, we often choose our jobs which those reasons.
Topic 3: Discuss how to learn a foreign language more effectively
Nowadays, learning a foreign language very important. It is necessary for our life. But
how to learn a foreign language effectively. There are many ways to learn foreign
language effectively, I want to talk about 3 ways:
Firstly, communication is the best way. We should speak with our classmate, teacher or
friends and take opportunities to communication with foreigners. This way helps us
improve speaking skill the same way we learn Vietnamese.
Secondly, listen to a foreign language is necessary. We can listen to the radio, music or
watch movie, news in foreign language. It helps us improve listen skill.
Finally, we must practice regularly. They should spend at least one hour studying to
remember.
To sum up, we will quickly learn foreign language well if we follow the above ways.

also has good influences. In reality, television give us many benefits.

happening in our country or in the world from news. We can update fashion trend with
fashion show on TV.
Finally, watching TV can entertain us. We can watch the movies, music show or funny
show after work to relax.
To sum up, Television not only for entertaining us but also for giving us many knowledge
or information of our life.
Topic 5: Discuss the reasons for traveling
Nowadays, the tourism industry has developed, people travel more and more. They travel
for many different purposes. In my opinion, there are 3 main reasons:
Firstly, travelling is a good way for relaxation. People want to travel when they are
stressed. They go to new place to forget the pressure of work, to enjoy the beautiful
scenery or the fresh air.
Secondly, we can make discoveries when we are travel. We are visited other countries
with interesting places. We can learn about the tradition, culture, cuisine and people.
Besides people is also travel to get more information for their own purpose.
Finally, people would like to travel because they could make new friends. When
traveling, we could meet other people who also have interests in common that we could
share together to become friends.
