you are instructed to.
1.1/ If you could invest on one of the followings – planting forests, building zoos and researching
about biodiversity, which one might be your best choice? Why?
ANSWER:
If I could invest on one of the followings- planting forests (ˈfɔːr.ɪst), building zoos and researching
about biodiversity (ˌbaɪ.oʊ.dɪˈvɝː.sə.tt̬i), the best choice (chooiz) for me is planting forests. Because:
Firstly, afforestation (əˌfɔːr.əˈsteɪ.ʃən- áp fo rest xần) is quite (kwaɪt – khoai t) easy and suitable
(ˈsuː.tt̬ə.bəl/) for me to do.
Second, planting trees has a lot of benefits (ˈben.ə.fɪt):
- Most often we plant trees to provide (prəˈvaɪd- phờ vai đ) shade (ʃeɪd – sết đ) and beautify
(ˈbjuː.tt̬ə.faɪ- biu đờ fai) our landscapes (ˈlænd.skeɪp- len x kếp). These are great (ɡreɪt) benefits.
- Trees make (meɪk) life (laɪf) nicer. It has been shown that spending time among (əˈmʌŋ) trees and
green spaces (speɪs) reduces (rɪˈduːs) the amount (əˈmaʊnt – âm mau t) of stress that we carry around
with us (át s) in our daily lives (laɪvz).
- Tree-lined (laɪnd) streets have a traffic (ˈtræf.ɪk- troa fich) calming (kɑːming- khaming) effect (əˈfekt),
traffic moves more slowly and safely (ˈseɪf.li).
- Trees can be placed to screen (skriːn) unwanted (ʌnˈwɑːn.tt̬ɪd) views or noise from busy highways.
- Trees can complement (ˈkɑːm.plə.ment) the architecture (ˈɑːr.kə.tek.tʃɚ- ac cờ thép chờ) or design of

buildings or entire (ɪnˈtaɪr- in thai ờ) neighborhoods (n-ˈneɪ.bə.hʊd).
- Trees reduce the urban (adj ˈɝː.bən) heat (hiːt) island effect (əˈfekt)
- Trees improve (ɪmˈpruːv) our air quality (ˈkwɑː.lə.tt̬i/) by filtering (ˈfɪl.tɚ- phêu tờ rinh) harmful
(ˈhɑːrm.fəl/) dust (/dʌst- đát st) and pollutants (pəˈluː.tt̬ənt) such (sʌtʃ) as ozone (ˈoʊ.zoʊn), carbon
monoxide (ˌkɑːr.bən məˈnɑːk.saɪd), and sulfur dioxide (ˌsʌl.fɚ daɪˈɑːk.saɪd- sâu fo đai ac xai) from the
air we breathe (briːð).
- Trees give off oxygen (ˈɑːk.sɪ.dʒən) that we need to breathe
- Trees reduce the amount of stormwater stɔːrm runoff (ˈrʌnˌɔf), which reduces erosion (ɪˈroʊ.ʒən) and
pollution (pəˈluː.ʃən) in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding (ˈflʌd.ɪŋ).
- Trees provide (prəˈvaɪd) food, protection (prəˈtek.ʃən), and homes for many birds and mammals
(ˈmæm.əl- mem bồ). In other words (wɝːd), forests provide us with timber (ˈtɪm.bɚ) and non-timber
forest products (ˈprɑː.dʌkt), and ecosystem (ˈe.koʊˌsɪs.təm) services (ˈsɝː.vɪs), such as wildlife
(ˈwaɪld.laɪf) protection, carbon sequestration (ˌsiː.kwesˈtreɪ.ʃən), and soil (sɔɪl- sôi el) and watershed
(ˈwɑː.tt̬ɚ.ʃed) maintenance (ˈmeɪn.tən.əns).
- Well-placed trees can reduce your cooling (ˈkuː.lɪŋ) costs (kɑːst) in the summer


2/ You are going to recommend a university for your cousin to study. Among a university in USA,
a university in Japan and a university in Vietnam, which one do you recommend? Why?
ANSWER
Among a university in USA, a university in Japan, and a university in Vietnam, I am going to
recommend a university in Vietnam for my cousin to study. Because:
Firstly, Vietnam is a peaceful and quite happy country. My cousin studying in his country will be very
secure.
Secondly, studying in Vietnam, my cousin will be close to his family, can visit and care for each other
often, and can return home whenever he wants.
Third, the cost of studying in Vietnam is quite cheap, even if you choose to study at international
universities, the cost of accommodation and travel is still cheaper than studying abroad.

striving to develop its close relations with domestic and international partners in order to provide its

students with the best opportunities for studying and taking an internship, especially since there are
many universities of international standards.
Finally, My cousin loves technology so I would recommend him to study at the University of Science
and Technology of Hanoi.
University of Science and Technology of Hanoi – USTH (also called Vietnam France University) is one
of the prestigious universities in Vietnam training high-quality human resources in the field of science
and technology. USTH is one of the first universities in Vietnam that follows an excellent public
university model European-standardised public university. The official teaching language is English,

3/ You are going to buy a book for your little brother as a present. Among the following kinds of
book: a comic book, a fairy tale and a scientific book, which one might be your best choice? Why?
ANSWER:
I am going to buy a comic book for my little brother as a present. Because:
Comic (ˈkɑː.mɪk) books are cool (kuːl)! Batman, Superman, Men in Black, Spider-Man.
Comic Books Help my little brother Learn to Love Reading: With their (ðer) intense (ɪnˈtens) visuals
(ˈvɪʒ.u.ə) and focus on plot (plɑːt) and characters /ˈker.ək.tɚ- khe ec tờ/, comic books can be much
more engaging (ɪnˈɡeɪ.dʒɪŋ- in gây runh) than other literary (ˈlɪtt̬.ə.rer.i- lit đồ roe ri) media, such as
novels or short stories; Comic books may also help my little brother develop the reading skills required
(rɪˈkwaɪəd) to comprehend (kɑːm.prəˈhend) texts with higher levels of difficulty (ˈdɪf.ə.kəl.tt̬i- dis phi cồ
ti). Further (ˈfɝː.ðɚ), comic books and graphic (ˈɡræf.ɪk- groa fech) novels can help he learn
information that they may otherwise (ˈʌð.ɚ.waɪz) find boring, such as stories from history (ˈhɪs.tt̬ɚ.i- hít
truy) or other educational information.
Comic Books Help my little brother Think Differently (ˈdɪf.ɚ.ənt.li): Readers of comic books must
process (ˈprɑː.ses) all the different components (kəmˈpoʊ.nənt)—visual (ˈvɪʒ.u.əl), spatial (ˈspeɪ.ʃə),
and textual (ˈteks.tʃu.əl) —of what they are reading and integrate (ˈɪn.tt̬ə.ɡreɪt) these components into
one solid (ˈsɑː.lɪd) understanding (ˌʌn.dɚˈstæn.dɪŋ) of the story.

Stories in comic books can actually change the ways in which our (ˈaʊ.ɚ) brains (breɪnz) function
(ˈfʌŋk.ʃən) and the ways in which we think. Choosing (chu zing) comics with good and appropriate (ə
ˈproʊ.pri.ət- áp foc ru et) content (kənˈten) is the first step to help children develop (dɪˈvel.əp) thinking.
These (ðiːz) are the reasons (ˈriː.zən) why I chose (tʃoʊz) comic books to give to my little brother.


4/ You are looking for a place to live in Hanoi. Among a small house in the city centre, a flat near
your university/ a company and a big house in the countryside, which one would be your best
choice? Why?
Answer:
I am looking for a place to live in Hanoi. Among a small house in the city center, a flat near your
university/a company and a big house in the countryside, the best choice for me is a big house in the
countryside. Because:
- First, living in the countryside can bring I a clean evironment. The air is fresher and there are lots
oftrees, rice fields and rivers, I can walk on the fields or along the rivers to enjoy the clean and fresh
airthere in the early morning.
- Second, living in a big house in the countryside have more square footage and acreage. The streets are
emptier, and stores are less crowded. Just simply having more room to breathe and live is a great
benefit of living in the country.
- Third, living in the countryside is cheaper than in the city because people there have lower income
anddon’t have the habit of spending a lot of money. Living expenses such as utilities, groceries,
toiletries and entertainment are typically cheaper in rural areas, as well. If I live in the countryside, I
can save a lot of money.
- Fourth, Less noise, Without all of the traffic, sirens, and general noise that comes with city living, you
will find that your life is much quieter when you live in a rural area. A quieter life can actually reduce
your stress levels, making you more at peace and relaxed.
- Finally, people in the country are more friendly and opener than people in the city because they live
neareach other. People live together in a small village so they can talk countryside can have festivals
and youcan join and fell very happy.In conclusin, there are many benefits of living in the country

5/ You are going to take a foreign friend to a festival. Which one might be your best choice: MidAutumn festival, Hung King temple festival or Lim festival? Why?

- The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional holidays in Vietnam. To me, it is
also the most wonderful and exciting one.
- Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated almost everywhere in Vietnam, so my foreign friend doesn't have
to move to a local where there is a festival like the Hung KingTemple festival or the Lim festival.
- The Mid-Autumn Festival shows many traditional cultural values of the nation that I would like to
introduce to my foreign friends, such as::
+ It is the story of The man in the Moon sitting at the base of a banyan tree and the beautiful sister
Hang in the Moon Palace.
+ Those are moon cakes which are a popular traditional Vietnamese food. They are made of powder,
pork meat, egg, peanut, and green bean. Moon cakes represent happiness, wealth, and longevity so
they are used as gifts.
+ During the festival, children of all ages wear colorful masks, carry candle lanterns,
sing folklores and parade on the streets. There are also those who perform lion dance to every house in
their neighbor with the hope that will bring fortune to these households.
+ Foremost, it’s a great time for family members to gather, eat traditional foods, and share joys and
sorrows. Besides, public places are aesthetically decorated and there is a wide range of cultural and
art activities all over the country.

You have 2 minutes to deliver a speech of the topic given. You are expected to include three parts
of a speech, namely Introduction, Development and Conclusion with the use of some linking
words.
1/ “There are a lot of complaints about restaurants in Vietnam”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.
There is a comment that “There are a lot of complaints about restaurants in Viet Nam”. I agree with this
comment.
In recent years, the restaurant business in Vietnam has grown in both scale and quality. However, there
are still many complaints about the restaurant.
The first thing to mention is the complaints about the unprofessional service style. For example:
Restaurants let customers wait too long, waiters don't care about customer needs, waiters bring wrong
dishes, customers come first but are served later...
The second is complaints about food quality, food hygiene and safety issues, for example: guests see
worms or hair in the dish...
The third is the complaints about the restaurant's infrastructure or the noise caused by other guests...
In general, restaurants in Vietnam have many aspects that have not satisfied the majority of customers,
but it is undeniable that they have tried very hard and customer services are increasingly focused and

served better. In particular, it is not possible to generalize all of the restaurants with complaints because
there are still many restaurants that serve very well and receive compliments from customers.
After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
1. Which are most popular in your country: fast food restaurants or traditional ones?


In Vietnam, the most popular traditional restaurant.
2. Some people say that food in an expensive restaurant is always better than that in a cheap one
– would you agree?
I don't think expensive restaurant food is always better than cheap restaurant food. Because of:
Delicious food or not depends on the taste, preferences and feelings of the person enjoying it. Of
course, in an expensive restaurant, with high-quality ingredients, exquisite presentation of dishes,
aesthetics, spacious and luxurious space to help diners feel more appetizing but not all the time.
everywhere. There are cheap restaurants with rustic dishes, idyllic spaces that give diners a delicious,
familiar and unforgettable impression.


2/ “There are many changes of shopping over the last decade”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.
After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
"Có nhiều thay đổi về mua sắm trong thập kỷ qua"
Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểm
của bạn.
I completely/completely agree that, "There's been a lot of change in shopping over the last decade".
Some of the notable changes include:
Firstly, Shopping today is a lot different than it used to be. Technology has created new ways to shop
and accomplish important tasks for consumers and businesses. Consumers are no longer limited to
brick-and-mortar stores, they can shop online and find things more conveniently.
Second, Stay up-to-date with fashion trends to help people have the most effective shopping
experience. Follow their favorite stores online keeping everyone updated on the latest releases and

showcasing full color images of all the seasonal styles.
Third, Technology helps retailers find shoppers interested in their products and put ads in front of
shoppers every day. View ads that give shoppers faster insights into new products.
Fourth, finding discounts for shoppers faster helps them save more and encourages them to buy more
products. Technology has made it easier for retailers to show dedicated customers when items are on
sale and when promotional codes are available to them.
Fifth, Sales are faster with technology than they were years ago. Today, consumers can make purchases
from a number of different stores without leaving their homes. All items are shipped to customer
locations from all over the world. For example, I am in Vietnam but can still order from China or any
other country with a sales website. Consumers don't even have to be at home to shop, and smartphones
have helped to complete transactions faster.


Customers can shop from any location with a cellular signal and use any payment method they prefer.
Most online payment systems accept everything from credit cards to e-wallet payments.
Finally, new technology-driven services even allow consumers to complete their grocery shopping
online and never have to go inside a crowded store. For example, I want to buy food, just order on the
app about 15 - 30 minutes later, someone will ship the food to me.
Sau khi kết thúc bài phát biểu của bạn, hãy trả lời các câu hỏi sau:
1. What are your shopping habits? Thói quen mua sắm của bạn là gì?
In the past, I have a traditional shopping habit, meaning going to the store to buy goods because I can
hold, try... However, in the past few years, that habit has changed a bit, apart from When it's convenient
to go to the store, I usually shop online, especially since the covid - 19 epidemic. The quality of goods
and customer service when shopping online is better than before, so I trust this shopping channel than
before.
2. Do you think online shopping will replace small shops in the future? Why? Bạn có nghĩ mua
sắm trực tuyến sẽ thay thế các cửa hàng nhỏ trong tương lai? Tại sao?
I don't think online shopping can replace the small store in the future because there are many types of
customers with different preferences, habits and shopping needs. Some people like to shop online while
others like to shop in the traditional way.

4/ “There are many problems with education in Vietnam”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.
After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
1. What are the differences between the traditional and modern educational system in Vietnam?
2. What should be done to reduce educational problems in Vietnam?
"Có rất nhiều vấn đề với giáo dục ở Việt Nam"
Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểm
của bạn.
I agree with the point that “There are many problems with education in Vietnam” for some of the
following reasons:
Education plays a foremost role in the life of Vietnamese. Not only is the dedication to learning one of
society's central values, but education is as well recognized as a chance of progression.
First of all, Among all Vietnamese education problems, outmoded teaching systems are one of the
chief issues plaguing the Vietnamese instruction system. Teachers frequently emphasize more on
discipline in the schoolroom than on active interaction and discussions. Censorship as well as
interference from the government are dominant and can make a stifling teaching atmosphere.
Second, As declared above, the quality of teaching in the schoolrooms depends mainly on the
individual educator. If you send your child to a Vietnamese institute, they will be likely to remain
passively studious and attentive.
Third, The system of facilities and teaching equipment is still lacking and outdated. This makes it
difficult for teachers and students to practice.
Fourth, The income of officials, teachers and employees of the education sector is too low compared
to the job requirements they have to perform. Therefore, they are not enthusiastic about the profession,
they have to do many things to support themselves and their families besides serving the education
industry. This greatly affects the quality of their expertise.


Fifth, education in Vietnam is massively trained, not balanced with the needs of the labor market.

The above are the main problems, in addition, the Vietnamese education system still has some
shortcomings in terms of curriculum, teacher ethics, teaching methods...
Sau khi kết thúc bài phát biểu của bạn, hãy trả lời các câu hỏi sau:
1. Hệ thống giáo dục truyền thống và hiện đại ở Việt Nam có gì khác nhau?
Traditional and modern education systems in Vietnam are quite different. For example, the educational
program is reduced and more modern, the teaching content is updated, the teaching methods are more
modern, the system of facilities and teaching equipment is more complete and modern...
2. Cần làm gì để giảm thiểu các vấn đề giáo dục ở Việt Nam?
Some measures that need to be taken to reduce education problems in Vietnam are:
- Increase salaries for officials, teachers, staff of the education sector,
- Renovate curricula and textbooks in the direction of reducing theoretical knowledge and increasing
practice.
- Innovating teaching methods, focusing on training ways of learning, thinking and skills rather than
knowledge.
- ect (/etˈsett̬.ər.ə/- es xai đ ra)


5/ “There are many changes in housing in housing in your hometown”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.
After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
1. Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why?
2. What should be done to promote a regional festival?
“Có nhiều thay đổi về nhà ở ở quê bạn”
Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểm
của bạn.
I agree with the point that “There are many changes in housing in housing in your hometown”
for some of the following reasons:
My hometown is developing very fast, life in the countryside is getting more and more prosperous and
convenient. Accordingly, houses in the countryside also have many changes in design and
architecture...

Traditional houses in my hometown are mainly yin and yang tile roofs, including 3 compartments and 2
wings, common living space, no private room. Currently, houses in my hometown are usually built in
modern styles such as tube houses, renovated level four houses, and Thai roof houses. Wealthy families
or small land built spacious houses. Indoor spaces are often arranged according to functions such as
living room, kitchen, bedroom. Each family member has their own room to ensure privacy.
This change comes from many reasons such as improved living standards, people not only doing
farming anymore, shrinking residential land area, due to the impact of urbanization process...
In short, the house in my hometown today is very different from the original traditional country house.
Currently, most of them are new types of houses, meeting the process of modernization and
urbanization. It seems that this difference can be explained by climatic, economic and especially
changes in lifestyle.

Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểm

I agree with the point that “There are many changes in traditional festivals” for some of the
following reasons:
Vietnam is a country with diverse and unique culture with about 8,000 festivals. Festivals are
community folklore activities held in all parts of the country.
Currently, under the influence of many factors, such as the market mechanism, the development of the
media, tourism, etc., the traditional festivals in our country have undergone many changes.
First, about time: Most village festivals shorten the time from 3-5 days to 1 day. Some regional or
inter-regional festivals of the pilgrimage nature are held for a long time, such as Huong Pagoda festival,

Quoc Mau Tay Thien festival...
Second, about space: Festivals have expanded in space even "super-space" thanks to media. For
example, the Hung Temple festival in Phu Tho
Third, in terms of purpose, today's festival is not only an expression of religious and belief sentiments
but also a business opportunity for tourism.
Fourthly, the festival's participants are not only local people but also attract a lot of tourists from all
over the world and foreign tourists.
In summary, Along with the process of economic development and international integration, the
transformation of traditional festivals is an objective necessity in today's cultural life.
Sau khi kết thúc bài phát biểu của bạn, hãy trả lời các câu hỏi sau:
1. Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why? Mọi người ít hay nhiều đều

Everyone more or less enjoys participating in the festival, that's right. Because of:


- Firstly, festivals often satisfy people's spiritual needs, that is, participate in festivals to pray for
something.
- Second, participating in festivals helps people have fun, visit and increase their knowledge and
understanding of many new things.
2. What should be done to promote a regional festival? Cần làm gì để quảng bá một lễ hội khu vực?
Some measures to promote regional festivals are as follows:
Firstly, build a website, especially about the festival, and fully post all festival information on the
website
Second, widely communicating about the festival on the mass media, the internet...
Third, organize the festival to ensure civility and humanity so that guests who come to attend are
satisfied, from which they will promote the festival.

“Đọc sách mang lại nhiều lợi ích”
Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểm
của bạn.
I agree with the point that “Reading books brings many benefits” for some of the following reasons:
Firstly, Books are an inexhaustible treasure of knowledge about all areas of the lives of their
predecessors, written down, told and passed on to the next generation. No matter what field the book is
written in, it also provides us with new and useful knowledge and experiences. Thus, having more new
knowledge is one of the benefits of reading books.
Secondly, Time to read a good book is a time when you are training your concentration and analytical
thinking ability very well. Because when reading a book, your mind and senses are all focused on your
eyes to watch each word, line by line, in your head to focus on the knowledge that the book is referring

expectancy, and better control emotions.
In short, reading books has many benefits, so it is necessary to practice the habit of reading every day.
Sau khi kết thúc bài phát biểu của bạn, hãy trả lời các câu hỏi sau:
1. Trẻ em ít hay nhiều đều thích đọc sách? Tại sao?
In my opinion, children, more or less love to read books because they are very curious and want to
learn everything around them. While books provide everything children want to know. Children's

Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view.
After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
I agree with the point, “There are many effects of living in a noisy environment”.
Living in a noisy environment can cause health problems for humans and wildlife, both on land and in

high blood pressure. Noise from ships and human activities in the ocean is harmful to whales and
dolphins that depend on echolocation to survive.


Noise pollution affects millions of people every day. The most common health problem it causes is
Noise-induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). Exposure to loud noises can also cause high blood pressure, heart
disease, sleep disturbances, and stress. These health problems can affect all age groups, especially
children. Many children who live near airports or noisy streets have been found to have stress and other
problems, such as impaired memory, attention levels and reading skills.

in the sea.

I agree with the point that “There are many drawbacks of working overtime” such as:


First, working overtime is bad for your physical health - Research at Columbia University shows that:
People who spend 13 hours sitting (inactive) instead of 11.5 hours are twice as likely to die
prematurely.
Second, overtime affects mental health - Your mind needs rest and relaxation after tiring work. More
working hours mean more stress on the mind and less time to relax. Result? Bad effects on your mental
health. A study published by The Independent in 2000 found that 40% of people who worked long
hours were stressed and complained of insomnia, depression, overeating, or drinking too much.
Third, Work-life balance is hindered - A study at Cornell University highlights that people who work
overtime are 30% more likely to face marital conflict. More time at work means less time for yourself,
your social circles, and your family.
Fourth, over time leads to lower productivity and lower job satisfaction.
In addition, the organization does not want you to work overtime. They realize that over time reduces
the overall efficiency of employees. Some organizations also consider it a liability because overtime
needs to be compensated with money. This adds to the company's costs. Overtime also hinders work
culture and negatively affects job satisfaction.
In short, overtime has a lot of limitations. Therefore, we should not work overtime.

To avoid overtime people should:

2, Manage personal time effectively, go to work on time, leave on time.
3. Leverage the achievements of technology to work more efficiently. For example, instead of calling
each person individually, you can call groups on apps.
