Topic 1: I’ve just seen a brilliant program about dolphins on television. Which program 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 program about dolphins
on television. I’m writing this letter to tell you about program 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 provided by
VTV Cab. It’s also available on satellite digital television 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 co -workers about
what they did to bring us lively , dangerous and spectacular scenes of wildlife. Sometimes, I have to
utter: “Oh My God”, “How could they film that?, “It’s unbelievable 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 truly 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.

Topic 2: My daily life is busy and has a lot of fun. What about you? Please describe 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,
1


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, etc. 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

a hour to refresh my mind. I continue working until 5pm. I get home at 6 o’clock and

playing football is my favorite 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 parent don’t 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 favorite 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 stress because, laughing help me
2


relax và bring balance back to me. My favorite actors and actress are Xuan Hinh, Hoai Linh, Cam Van,
Van Dung, etc. I can’t help laughing when I watch their comedies or hilarious sitcoms . It’s really fun
and very helpful to relieve stress. That’s the reason why I love watching comedy films.
That’s all for now. I hope to see you soon.

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 ice cream. 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
3


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
favorite 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.

I am now working as a senior engineer for a foreign company in Hanoi. My company name is POSCO
E&C. It’s a very famous Korean company operating in construction field . I have had this job for more
than 2years. I have to work from Monday to Saturday. I often drive to office at 7 o’clock to start my
daily work at 8 o’clock until 5 p.m. In my job, I am in charge of designing, estimating, setting up
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
supervision, 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 because I am able to apply the
knowledge and skills of the field I studied in my work. In addition, I have a flexible working time, so I
can make full use of the time in the office and have time for research. Also, I am lucky to work with a
very active and supportive staff. One thing I don’t like about this job is that I often have to travel, so I
sometimes don’t have time for my family. I am planning to further my study to get a doctor degree.
That’s all for now. Hope to see you soon.

English.

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 diseases. 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

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, bonsai, food, drinks, cakes, candies, etc. During Tet, people
visit their relatives, teachers, friends. People wish each other good luck, good health and good success.

Topic 10: In your next letter, could you give me some 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 every day to

stay healthy. The Japanese eat a lot of fish so they 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
vegetable s 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, etc. 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 morning 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!

Topic 12: Spring
Vietnam is in tropical climate and has 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Autumn may be

loved by many people because the weather is nice: cool and not strong

sunshine. But Spring is the

most meaningful and special, because it is not only beautiful, but also waiting by all of Vietnamese
people. It is season of reunion, season of the coming back to hometown of all daughters and sons even
when they are no longer young.
Spring normally start from Jan or Feb of the calendar year, and last for 3 months. The weather is often a
bit cold with small rain. That’s why in Spring all the tree sprout with the new leaves and many kind of
flowers bloom.
In Vietnam, when Spring comes, also the Tet holiday. It is the biggest festival in Vietnam, with at least
four public holidays (will becomes five from 2013) but normally, the holiday often last for at least 1
week. It start when the Lunar year start. It is the first day of Lunar new year. Everybody stop working,

It seems everyone loves Facebook. Everywhere you go, you can see people logged in, updating their
status. Whether they are at home, work or in the passenger seat of a vehicle on their way to school,
people of all ages are signing in to the most popular social network, Facebook. One reason, Facebook is
so popular is that there is a huge amount of Facebook members. Sharing pictures, videos,and interests
7


are some of the features many people enjoy on Facebook. Being able to connect with friends and family
anytime, from anywhere is another. Making connections with friends from the past is something else

that Facebook makes possible. Facebook has tons of applications and games available on the site also.
Playing games with Facebook friends is a great way to spend leisure time. People that have a lot of time,
for that sort of thing, really get into it. It is, as if, they are in their own little virtual world. Playing a
game alone, against the computer is something no one has to do any more.
Topic 14: Class

friend is Huong, She is very beautiful, sweet like a candy and very intelligent. She was always on top in
every exams. She was really good at Math , English and others but literature. i absolutely admire her!
The most respected

person in our class was our monitor, Truong. He is helpful, friendly and

responsible. Without him, our class would be in chaos. Teachers were very committed & dedicated.
They were very patient in explaining problems to us and always makes sure everyone understands. I am
proud to belong to my class. I love them all!
Topic 15: The One Pillar Pagoda
The One Pillar Pagoda (Chùa Một Cột in Vietnamese) is a Buddhist temple in the Ho Chi Minh
Mausoleum complex near Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi. The Pagoda has a unique design that is meant to
evoke a lotus flower rising out of the water. On this flower sat the goddess of mercy, who was seen by
the Emperor Ly Thai Tong in a dream

handing

the latter a baby boy. Afterwards, the Emperor

married a peasant girl, who bore him a son. Overjoyed by his good fortune, the Emperor ordered the
construction of the One Pillar Pagoda.
Topic 16: Hanoi Opera House

WRITING –VIẾT THƯ

TOPIC 1: The last film you saw
Dear Kim,
How are you?
Have you seen any films at the cinema center those days? “Three Idiots” is a very hot film now. You
should see it, my dear. It is amazing. Now I will tell you something about it. It is a story of three
students in a top mechanical university in India. One student in the three has a very wise way of
studying and doing all with his passion for knowledge. That boy has much influence on his teachers as
well as his roommates, which changes their lives. I think it is a must-see film for all learners, thus, I
recommend you it. Give me some comments after that. OK?
See you soon.
Love,
Son
TOPIC 2: How do you keep fit and healthy?

Dear Jenny,
Thank you for your letter.
Keeping fit and staying healthy are always difficult for us, busy people. Honestly, I want to be fit but I
find it difficult. I am just trying to sleep enough and get up a little early in the morning to have some
morning exercises. I rarely drink coffee and alcohol. I sometimes go swimming and go jogging. Ah, I
never smoke, either. I think no smoking can help a lot. If I have time, I would like to take up gym. What
about you? What sport do you like? I think you can take up one sport. Hope to get your letter soon.
Love,
John.

better health and nicer shape. We can also avoid getting old and it’s a great way to reduce stress as we
can always feel relaxed. Besides, it helps me more concentrate on our work. I joined an aerobics class
two years ago. I often do it three times a week with my friends. This center is very big with a variety of
sports so I think I'll play another sport for a change. I will choose tennis because I have to move much
9

Normally, I buy the food in the local market. Sometimes, I can buy them from the big super market near
my house such as Big C and Thang Long Metro. I love hot pot because I can taste much food like
vegetable, mushroom, tofu, beef, pork… I usually use fresh vegetable which is grown in my garden for
my meal. I think cooking at home will be more hygienic and more delicious. Besides, family members
can help me cook, it helps us closer together.

TOPIC 9: Reading book
Dear Alex,
I am very happy to receive your letter.
How are you? How is your work?
My hobby is reading books. I read different kinds of books, such as novels, fairy tales, comics and
reference books. I often stay home and lie on coach or in bed to read before I sleep or after I finish all
housework. Sometimes when I have free time, like at the weekends, I go to the central library to find
books and read them right there. I love reading very much for some reasons. First, I always feel very
relaxed after I read something, such as a fairy tale for my children. They help me forget all my
problems. Second, I can always have something to talk about with friends. Discussing about a book like
a novel is our most interesting topic. Last, I can learn different things in different places and cultures in
the world. Books contain a lot of information for me to discover. Reading is always my best choice
when I’m not busy.
Write to me soon.

Last week I visited Laos. I was told that Laotian girls are not sexy and sights there are not worth
visiting. In fact, I was impressed by the beauty of the female post graduates whom I met in the
graduation ceremony. She is so sexy and charming with deep brown eyes and bright smile. After the
ceremony, my friends and I had a visit to some pagodas where I took a lots of photos to save their
unique beauty and features. It’s a very nice trip to Laos. I was very happy spending time there. You
should come to visit Laos when you have time, my dear friend.
With Love,

I am very happy to receive your letter. How are you?
Well, my country has a lot of traditional festivals. And Hung King’s festival is the most important one
which is also known as "Death anniversary of Hung King", a huge festival of national stature in
Vietnam. It is celebrated to tribute and gratitude to the merits of the Hung Kings founded the country.

They were the first kings of the nation. The festival took place on 10th March on lunar calendar with
many activities such as custom drumming of the Muong, a pilgrimage to commemorate
the Hung Kings, procession and incense-burning ceremony on the upper temple. Do you want to
participate in this festival next year?
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

time of year? Tell me about it)
Bai 1:
Dear Alex,
I am very happy to receive your letter. How are you? How is your family? At the moment, it is summer
in Vietnam so the weather is sunny and hot. Sometimes, it’s rainy. Every year I usually go to the beach
in the summer. Because I'm too busy this year, I often go to the swimming-pool near my house. Besides,
15


my family sometimes goes climbing for a change and to avoid heating. It’s also the opportunity for the
children to discover the nature. Do you have any plans at this time?
Write to me soon.
Love,
Ha.

the computer although I have got a play station. You know, there are a lot of games on the computer. I
usually play them after work. Besides using the computer for playing games, I use it to search
information for my work. Furthermore, thanks to the internet I can communicate with my friends.

Besides, when I have free time, I often read online newspapers or listen to my favorite songs. Therefore,
I can say that I can’t imagine how my life would be without it.

Love,
Ha.

Dear Ann,
Thank you for your letter. Have You had a new computer game? It’s amazing. I have only a computer
and I don’t have any play station. There are some games in my computer and I usually play them in my
free time. I also use the computer to write reports, read newspapers, and listen to music. Sometimes I
use it to watch films on the internet, chat with my friends and write email for you. I use my computer to
search information about your country as well so that I can know you better.
I hope you will write back soon.
Love,
Thuy Linh.
Topic 15. My advice for your work
1/
Dear Alex,
I am very happy to receive your letter. How are you? How is your family? You want to earn some
money at the weekends, so I think you should look for a part-time job in a café as a waiter. This work is
16


very suitable for your major at university. However, you have to be careful because you can shatter glass
items. Furthermore, you have to move much to serve the customers but you can receive tip. And you
will have chance to meet people. It’s fun. Why don’t you try once?
Please send my hello to your family.
Take care,
Ha.
2/

Dear Ann,
Thank you for your letter. Looking for a part-time job is a great idea as you can earn money to buy many
things you want and you don’t need to ask your parents. In my opinion, a part-time job in a shop will be
more fun. I think you will just have to work from 8 a.m to 8 p.m, so you can have time to go out with
your friends in the evening. If you work for a cafe, you will work to 10 p.m because the cafe is
closed later. You can think about my advice. I hope you will write back soon.
Love,
Thuy Linh
Topic 16: DOLPHINS ( I have just seen a brilliant programme about dolphins on television.

Dear Tomas,
Thank you for your letter. I was curious about your dolphins program. My sons love dolphins too. I am
busy at work so I can hardly find time for watching television. However, at weekends, I usually watch
tennis. Every evening, I watch news. Perhaps, news is the program I spend most time on. Sometimes I
watch fashion shows and cuisine corner because my beloved wife love them. I love her so I watch them
with her. I hope I have a chance to watch live programs of dolphins.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your letter. It is great that you sister is getting married next week.
Congratulations!

In my country, the bride and groom wear customs like in Western countries like long white or red
dresses for brides and black or white suits for groom. Their parents wear beautiful and new clothes.

Mothers and sisters usually wear colorful dresses while fathers and brothers wear suits. Guests are free
to choose their ways of dressing. Food and drink are not very special, just like in parties with plenty of
food and various kinds of drinks. I hope you will visit my country and attend such a wedding.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

new trousers. You must look gook in black. I love black too. However, I usually wear T shirts and
shorts. I am said to be good looking and cute in those types of clothes and I believe it. They are my
favorite clothes. I sometimes go shopping with my wife and she buys me some black and white T
shirts and brown shorts. When we meet I will bring you to my favorite shopping mall. There are many
nice trousers there too. Hope to see you soon.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

highly effective people” by Stephen R.Covey. Which book have you enjoyed recently? How often
do you read book?)
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your letter. Have you finished the book "Seven habits of highly effective people"? I love
reading and used to read very often. I used to read War and Peace, Ways to Be A Millionaire, How to
Become A leader, and many other books. However, these days, it is difficult for me to get time. During
flights, I didn't read as earlier but take a nap. I usually read news on my IPad. I must find time for my
reading. It's a good habit and worth keeping it.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Love,
David

Topic 20: GYM ( A new Gym has opened near my house. I go there twice a week. What sports
facilities are available near where you live. How often do you do sport?)
Dear Jenny,
Thanks for your letter. It is very good that you can go to a gym near your house. I wish I could do so but
there is no gym near my place. Instead, I have to drive to a gym for some exercises 3 times a week. That
sometimes causes trouble. I love tennis but I hardly play it due to my tight schedules. Therefore,
spending time in a gym is the best choice which I can practice individually. I can even swim
after exercises. In general, it is a good place. I will write to you more about it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Love,
Jennifer

Topic 22: I’ve just seen a brilliant programe about dolphins on television. Which programes have
you enjoyed recently? How much televison 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
19


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 co-workers 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 23: 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 a 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
20


have dinner…etc, I will come home by 11 p.m because my parent don’t 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 24: 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 25: 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
21


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 26 : 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 !

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 thay 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!
