Talk about the weather in your country

Vietnam is a tropical country. The climate is often hot and humid. The weather here is unusual and
different in each region. In North Vietnam where I live, there are 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and
Winter, whereas the South has only two seasons: dry and rainy. The spring makes people feel the most
comfortable and is the most beautiful season of the year. The weather is fine and cloudy. And spring, it is a
special season because there is a long holiday in the season, do you know?.. Tet holiday. Tet holiday is the most
important holiday of the year in Vietnam. At that time, plants are in bud. In the summer, the weather becomes
hot and wet. It can rain dogs and cats in the morning and suddenly clear out in the afternoon. But it is very crisp
in the winter. In winter, we usually wear warm clothes and have a comfortable sleep on a mattress bed. The
autumn is my favorite season because the weather is very fresh and pleasant. The sky is blue and pretty high
while the sun is warm. The yellow leaf is full of the road. Everyone wears simple clothes. In the morning, it has
many foggy but will dissolve quickly when the sun rises. Autumn weather is ideal for walking or meeting
friends. And you, what season of the year do you like?
1. What often do you do in the summer ? => I usually lie in the air conditioner and eat ice cream.
2. What season of the year do you not like?
=> I think I don’t like summer beacause it is so hot, I like a cooler season.

Talk about the role of English in your future career.

The importance of English is undeniable. For my career to become a prosecutor in the future, English is
necessary. There are a few reasons I can give. First, English is the Language of International Communication.
English is currently the official language of 53 countries and is spoken by around 400 million people over the
world. Learning English is important as it allows you to communicate easily with global citizens. Second, there
are many useful resources for learning to use the English language. For example, international law, foreign
cases, etc. Using English fluently makes it easier for me to access and explore these resources. Third, English

also improving my knowledge. If I have the opportunity to study later in a foreign country, being fluent in
English is a huge advantage. With all the above advantages and necessity, English for a prosecutor student is
important not only in the current study but also in the future career.\
1. How many skills does English have?
=> English has 4 skills, including: listening, speaking, reading and writing
2. What skills are you confident about? => I think my reading skill is better than other skills

Describe your most memorable holiday

As a person who loves to travel, I usually go on holiday with my family every summer but my holiday
last summer is different. It was the most memorable holiday of my life, the first time I was traveling with my
friends, not with my family as usual. After many months and days of planning, our trip to Moc Chau was finally
successful. This Moc Chau trip is an after-term high school graduation reward. My place is about 80km from
Moc Chau town by car. Departing at 6 am, we arrive at 9 am. We booked a room in advance at a small
homestay called Happyland, that owner is so friendly. Coming to Moc Chau, we, who are photography lovers,
cannot miss check-in at famous places such as Ang village pine forest, Dai Yem Waterfall, tea hill, plum flower
garden, strawberry farm, etc. Thanks to shooting photos of my friend that I have had a lot of nice pictures.
Although the trip only lasted two days one night, we have had lots of memories together. I hope we will have
more trips together.

Describe your favourite shopping center.

My favorite shopping center is Aeon mall, Ha Dong. It is located in Hoang Van Thu urban area, Duong
Noi ward, Ha Dong district, and about 3km from where I live. I usually go there with my friends on the
weekends. It has a lot of facilities such as a cinema, restaurants, supermarket and game entertainment. It also
has shops with the newest and trendy brands like clothes, jeans, mobile phones, and even toys. I can find almost
everything I need to shop from here. The food counter and the cosmetic counter are my two most favorite
places here. I can roam all day to look at without getting bored. Besides, Ha Dong aeon mall is also an ideal
place for those who love taking the photo because any corner helps you get beautiful pictures. On every festival

Talk about three machines you can buy to make your life easier

Talk about three machines you can buy to make your life easier nowadays, modern technology is
popular. We have many choices. For me, I will buy three machines: refrigerators, washing machines, and
computers. I think they can make my life easier for some reasons. First, after learning at school for hours, I
don't have to go to the market every day like many people. Refrigerators can keep food fresh for a long time.
Besides, I love ice cream. Second, the washing machine is another appliance that has changed my life. I can
spend the time I wash clothes by hand to do other work. Third, the computer is an intelligent device for me to

study. I can search documents relating to my curriculum or any information I am interested in on the internet if
that computer has a global network. On the other hand, when I am tired after sitting with a computer for study a

long time in a day, I can relax my mind with many kinds of films, listen to music, etc. In conclusion, I want to
talk that machines have many benefits making our life comfortable but don’t abuse them because they also
make you lazier.
1. If only one were selected, which device would you choose?
=> I will choose the computer because it helps me in my study
2. How many days do you go to the market? => I usually go to the market once every 3 days

Student B

Talk about the advantages (or disadvantages) of wearing school uniform.

Nowadays, wearing a school uniform is quite common. There are many different types of uniforms as
school uniforms, gym uniforms, etc. However, there are still many opinions and contrary views. The debate
about the benefits and limitations of wearing a school uniform as well as whether it should be compulsory or
not? From my point of view, having students wear school uniforms has several benefits. First, wearing a
uniform creates uniformity. It would be better if everyone wears the same, thereby creating a uniform and
unique mark for your school. Also, it minimizes the competition between people for costume value. Second,
They give a sense of belonging and pride. The uniform is considered a sign of the school you are attending, so
wouldn't it be beneficial if your uniform belonged to a famous school, right? Third, the uniform takes away
social segregation. People will not feel discriminated against about their background when all the rich and poor
demanded to wear the same clothes at school. Besides, Wearing a school uniform is time-saving since you do
not have to think of what to wear every day, which may help you concentrate on learning. It is also economical
because you only need two outfits for the whole year. With all of the above advantages, I fully support wearing
the school uniform.
1. What color is your university uniform? => My university uniform is blue.
2. How many days a week do you have to wear uniform? => I wear uniform every Monday.

Student B

Talk about your favorite pet.

At present I’m feeding one cat, her name is Meo. I named her that because she is round =))). She is two
years old. She is a Calico cat with three colors: yellow, black, and white. Her eyes are bright round blue. Meo’s
fur is soft and smooth. She has a lovely pink nose and a long tail. Meo is a very clean cat because she always
cleans up after herself when she has to go to the bathroom. I put her litter tray in my bathroom. After she
finishes her bathroom business, she even covers it up with the litter. Meo enjoys bathing and grooming. I bathe
her two times a week. Her routine is so simple that consists of three activities: sunbath, eat, and sleep. She
spends most of her time eating and sleeps, but sometimes she also exercises by catching some cockroaches =)).

Although Meo is a lazy cat and sleeps almost every time you can wake her up by shaking the pack of food, she
will appear immediately in front of you. Her favorite foods are fish and cat food. Sometimes I also praise Meo
with treats when I train her to stand with two legs. She loves cuddling and will make a purring sound whenever
I pet her. If one day my mood isn’t good, I will hug Meo that makes my mood better. When I’m doing my
homework, watching TV, reading a book, or anything else, Meo will sleep next to me. That’s so sweeties. She is
an intelligent cat. Sometimes she tries to seek attention for no reason at all. I love my cat because she is an
important part of my life.

People often keep memories, special moments in life through pictures, and so do I. My favorite photo is
probably my family photo. It was possibly the picture of my extended family with my grandparent, all
daughters, sons, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and my cousins. This photograph was framed and enlarged and

it is hanging on the wall in the living room. The photo was taken on the occasion of Tet last year to celebrate
my grandfather's 70th birthday. It is rare for everyone in the family to gather enough to take pictures together,
but this is a meaningful occasion. Why not do something to celebrate? That day, all members gathered at the
grandparents' house, beautifully dressed. My aunt asked a photographer to come over to take pictures of my
family. In the photo, My grandparents sat in the middle, surrounded by nephews, granddaughter and standing in
the back row were my parents and my aunt's family. Standing in the frame with a happy smile, I still remember
the atmosphere at that time, the warm reunion of the family. Surely this will be a priceless treasure of all
members of my family, I deeply respect the photo. I love my family so much.

Student B

Describe a historical place

As a son of heroic Son La hometown, I am proud to visit the Son La prison relic - a place to keep
remnants of a historical revolutionary struggle, the indomitable spirit of communist soldiers. Son La Prison
relic was built in 1908 by French Colonial, located on the top of Khau Ca hill, now belongs to group 9, To Hieu
ward, Son La city, Son La province. It is a unique historical and cultural relic, educating young generations on
patriotic tradition. From 1930 to 1945, the French colonialists turned the prison into a hell on earth to imprison,
torture, drain the vitality and eliminate the will to fight the revolutionary soldiers. Under such brutal torture,
Son La Prison has become a place to train and foster excellent communist soldiers, contributing to the August
Revolution 1945, typically comrades: To Hieu, Le Duan, Truong Chinh, Le Thanh Nghi, etc. Son La prison is

material evidence of significance, typical proof of the regime's brutal crimes former colonialism towards the
Vietnamese people, at the same time, affirmed true patriotism, the indomitable will of the Vietnamese nation. If
you have a chance to come to Son La, make sure you do not miss this meaningful historical place.

Student B Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones
in communication.
The mobile phone is a useful technology device which is not lacking in our lives. Today, the mobile
phone has become popular with everybody since it is very convenient. The most advantage of having a mobile
phone is you can communicate with your family and your friends no matter where you are, especially for a
student away from home like me. But everything has two sides to it, mobile phones also prevent us from
communicating directly with each other. Everyone became focused on looking at the phone screens. Going to
coffee, and meet friends, but each holds their phones without talking to each other. Finally, although mobile
phones increase the speed of communication, the lack of face-to-face communication due to the excessive use
of mobile phones can worsen certain relationships, making people become far apart. Besides, the early use of
mobile phones for children also impedes their communication and language development. In conclusion,
mobile phones bring both pros and cons to users in communication. I hope everyone who uses their phones
should use them wisely to make their best use.
1. How often do you call your family? => I call my family every day?
2. How many hours a day do you use the phone? => I often use about 3 to 4 hours a day.
