You recently received an email from your English-speaking friend, Pat, inviting you to visit and
stay with his family. Read part of Pat’s email below.
You said you’d like to come and stay for a while in the summer, so I’m writing to ask
if you’d like to visit in July.
By the way, it’s my brother Tim’s 18th birthday on 10th July so try to be here then,
because there’ll be a big special party to go to. Lots of our friends and relatives will
be there!
I’m on holiday in July too, so perhaps we could go camping for a few days as well?
If you’re coming, let me know if there’s anything else you’d particularly like to do.
Then I can make some plans.

Write an email responding to Pat. You should write at least 120 words. You are not allowed
to include your name.
Example:
Dear Pat,
It is great to hear from you. I have 3 month holiday in the summer from June to August so that I
will definitely visit your country in July. I still remember that I gave Tim best wish on his birthday
in the last year and promised to meet him some day there in the future. It will be a nice time to
attend his birthday and meet your friends and relatives.
Going camping is also my plan in the trip to your country this time. I trust that it is much more
interesting to go with you. We will have a lot of fun then.
I would like to take further study after graduating. I will do research of some universities in your
country.

Could you help me visit these universities when I stay there? I really appreciate your help.
I am looking forward to meeting you in your country soon.
Best regards,

Read the following text from a book about peer group.
As children grow older, they become increasingly involved with their peer group, a group whose
members are about the same age and have similar interests. The peer group- along with the
family and the school- is one of the three main socializing agents. The peer group is both a
positive and negative influence in our lives. (Academic Encounters- Life in Society, chapter 2,
page 35)

Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss the effects of peer group on children. Include
reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer.
You should write at least 250 words. Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task
fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar.
Example:
A peer group is both a social group and a primary group of people who have similar interests, age,
background, or social status. The members of this group are likely to influence the person’s beliefs
and behavior so that it holds both positive and negative effect in our lives. When you do not like a
particular idea or when you have no inclination towards a particular field, it is obvious that you
won't like to go by it. For sure, you won't like to go that way. But it is you peer group, which may
compel you on doing something you hate. In such cases, there are chances that you won't do well
in those things. Things you do not enjoy doing cannot fetch you success. You cannot emerge
successful in something you have never liked doing. So, it is important that you do not lose
happiness of your life by succumbing to peer pressure.
Peer pressure is not always bad. It can help you analyze yourself and contemplate on your ways of

life. Some of the practices that the masses follow may actually teach you the way of living. You
may be able to change yourself for the better. Looking at what others do, can help you bring about
a positive change in your way of thinking. If you can pick selectively, peer pressure can actually
result in a positive change in your way of life.
A strong support from family, an ability to differentiate between the positive and the negative
and a skill to choose friends from the peers - this three-pronged strategy is the best way to
keep away from negative peer pressure.

You have received a letter from your English-speaking friend, Sam, asking you about a festival in
your country. Read part of Sam’s email below.
I’m studying different festivals from around the world for a project I’m doing. Can you
tell me which is the most important festival in your region and when it happens?
Also I’d be very grateful for any information you could give me about the festival itself.
If you think it is worth it, perhaps I could come and see what it’s like. What do you
think?
If I come, will you be free? I'd like to see you again and perhaps we could visit the
festival together.

Dear …..,

Viet Nam is a country with 54 ethnic minority groups so there are so many festivals throughout the
year. However, most festivals take place after TET holiday which is the most important festival of
Kinh group. TET festival, which is also called Lular New Year Festival often falls between late
January and early February; it is among the most important holidays in Vietnam.
Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese
people often spend about nearly a month to celebrate this special event. It is to thank Gods for the
arrival of spring with a variety of blooming trees and flowers after a cold and harsh winter.
Many activities are organized to celebrate the festival. Many kind of traditional food are made to
welcomethe festival. I recommend you go to Vietnam on the TET festival to learn about our culture.
I will take you around to see the festival.
Your sincerely!

Read the following text from a book about advertizing.
Advertizing is a very common feature of all our daily media. In fact, in most daily newspapers,
advertizing makes up the majority of the content. Very large amounts of money are spent on
advertizing. A television commercial can easily cost many thousands of dollars per second.
(Academic Encounters- Life in Society, chapter 5, page 117)

Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss both advantages and disadvantages of
advertizing. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer.
You should write at least 250 words. Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task
fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar.
Example:
Advertising is an indispensable part in modern social life. Although there are many benefits, many
people still criticize it. In this essay, I will discuss the positive and negative points of advertisements.
To begin with, advertising helps producers to sell goods. People get to know about company’s new

offerings easily through advertising. Without advertising, publicity of company’s product and
services will not be possible. Thus advertising helps companies in increasing their sales and profits.
Secondly, advertising industry creates employment opportunities for many people because it
requires a large number of staff, such as actors, technical assistants, script writers, etc...
Additionally, advertising is a kind of entertainment.
They often contain images and music which attract people’s interest, especially children’s.
However, advertisements have some drawbacks. Many advertisements are intrusive and irritating
at times. Advertising on the mobile phone is an example. With the latest technology, mobile
companies are now able to send advertising messages via SMS to consumers' phones, which is
really annoying. Moreover, advertising encourages people to buy products they may not need or
cannot afford. Children and young people in particular are influenced by advertisements showing
the latest toys, clothing or music and this can put enormous pressure on the parents. Furthermore,
customers are sometimes cheated about the quality, prize and appearance of the products. Buyers
can purchase goods which are far different from what they have seen on TV or newspapers.
To sum up, advertising industry not only brings benefits to manufacturers and advertising producers,
but also serves as a kind of entertainment. However, many aspects of advertising appear to be
morally wrong and are not acceptable in today's society which should be eliminated.

You have received the following letter from your English-speaking friend, Sam, asking you about
how to get to your apartment from the airport. Read part of Sam’s email below.
Thanks for inviting me to stay with you when I visit your country next month. I'm not

sure how to get to your apartment from the airport. Could you write back giving me
some basic instructions? What would be the best method of transport for me? I'd prefer
one that isn't too expensive!
Just one other thing - what will the weather be like when I get there? (Just so I'll know
what clothes to pack!

Write a letter responding to Sam. You should write at least 120 words. You are not allowed
to include your name.
Example:
Dear …..,
I am very happy to hear that you will visit my hometown. It is very far from the airport to my home.
You have to get off the plane at Noi Bai airport in Ha Noi. You can go to Thai Nguyen by taxi, car,
or bus. It takes about two hours. The bus is very cheap, but you will have to catch 3 trips. Taxi is
the most convenient way. However, you have to pay more for a taxi than a car. I think moving by
car is most suitable for you.
About the weather, it is autumn here, so you should bring summer clothes. My country is tropical
climate, It is always hotter than yours.
Hope to see you.
Yours!

Read the following text from a book about the Internet.
The Internet is an amazing information resource. Students, teachers, and researchers use it as an
investigating tool. Journalists use it to find information for stories. Doctors use it to learn more
about unfamiliar diseases and the latest medical developments. Ordinary people use it for
shopping, banking, bill-paying, and communicating with family and friends. However, while
there are many positive developments associated with the Internet, there are also certain fears

and concerns. (Academic Encounters- Life in Society, chapter 6, page 129)

Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss the negative effects of the Internet. Include
reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer.
You should write at least 250 words. Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task fulfillment,
Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar.
Example:
The Internet is an amazing information resource. Students, teachers, and researchers use it as an
investigative tool. Journalists use it to find information for stories. Doctors use it to learn more about
unfamiliar diseases and the latest medical developments. Ordinary people use it for shopping, banking,
bill-paying, and communicating with family and friends. People all over the world use it to connect
with individuals from other countries and cultures. However, while there are many positive
developments associated with the Internet, there are also certain fears and concerns.
Firstly, one concern relates to a lack of censorship or control over what appears on the Internet. Anyone
can put information on the Internet that can then be read by anyone else, at any time. This makes it very
different from television or radio. With television and radio there are editors to check the accuracy or
appropriateness of the content of programs, and with television there are restrictions on what kinds of
programs can be broadcast and at what times of the day. With the Internet, parents cannot check a
published guide to determine what is suitable for their children to see. While softwarecan be used to
block access to certain websites, such as those displaying pornography, this can never be completely
effective.
Sencondly, there are also concerns about privacy and control of communication on the


Trung tâm Anh ngữ ViViAn – Hotline: 0974 498 347

Internet. For example, when you use e-mail communication or participate in chat groups, it is possible
that your private messages may be read by others without your knowing. If you buy things on-lineor
simply browsethe Internet, it is possible to trace all the websites that you visit. One potential danger is

that the information could be used by others to your disadvantage. For example, an employer could use
such information to decide that you are not a suitable applicant for a job.
A further issue relates to the misuse of the Internet in the workplace. Many companies are now finding
that they need to establish policies to control when employees use the Internet and for what purposes.
Many companies block the popular social network like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc… to ensure
their employees will not waste time on the internet during working hours.
