1. What are you going to do in the summer? Learning a language
course (học ngôn ngữ); doing voluntary work (làm tình nguyện)
or learning to play a sport. Which do you think is the best choice?
Sample 1:
- In my opinion attending an English course is the best choice/option
because of the following reasons.
- Firstly, it is a requirement (yêu cầu) for all students to have B1/B2
certificate before graduation at university. Taking an English course helps
me better prepare for the test.
(It is requirement to have B2 to study PhD/ to have B1 to study master’s
degree/ to have B2/B1 certificate for my job) I need B1 for my job. Taking
an English course helps me better prepare for the test. )
- Secondly, If I learn English well, I will have a good job with high salary.
(If I learn English well, I will work better, get promoted and get higher
salary)
- About 2 other options: Doing voluntary work is good for the local
community (cộng đồng) but for me, learning English is more important at this
time. / I don’t choose to do voluntary work because for me, learning English is
more important at this time to graduate from university.
- Taking up sport isn’t my choice because I already go for a walk
everyday, which is also good for my health. (I already do yoga everyday,
it is also good for my health)

- In short, learning a language course is my best choice because of the
reasons I have mentioned above.
2. A group of students are discussing where to buy clothes: in a
shop; in an open-air market; in an online shop. Which do you
think is the best choice?
- In my opinion buying clothes in an open-air market is the best choice for
the following reasons.
- Firstly, there is a wide range of = different/ many kinds of clothes in the
open-air market, there are many shops selling different kinds of clothes.
- Secondly, it is cheaper than in the shop because I don’t have much
money.
- Next, shoppers can bargain (mặc cả) with the sellers.
- About 2 other options, I don’t choose to buy in an online shop because I
can’t try them on, It is difficult to know whether they fit me or not.
Besides, clothes online look really nice thanks to photoshop.
- In short, I would prefer to buy clothes in an open-air market.
3. A first year student is going to choose where to live: living in a
university hostel; renting a flat or staying with relatives? Which
do you think is the best choice?
- In my opinion, a first-year student should live in a university hostel for
the following reasons.
- Firstly, it is cheap to stay there. Students have to pay tuition fees, pay
for food, books and so on. So, living in the dormitory can save them a lot
of money.
- Secondly, It is convenient to stay there because it is close to university,
students can walk there. It saves time and money.
- Besides, It is easy to share the learning materials for study with
roommates. Students can study in groups with roommates, can ask them
for advice or discuss with them.

- I don’t choose to rent a flat because it is expensive and unsafe/ insecure
(ko an toàn)
- I don’t want to stay with relatives because I think I don’t feel
comfortable, they might live far from university. Moreover, I don’t have
time to study.
- In short, living in university dormitory is the best option.
4. If you won the lottery of 1 billion VND; what would you do?
Buying a house? Buying gold or saving in the bank?
Which do you think is the best choice?
-

I think I would buy a house because of the following reasons./ In my

-

opinion buying a house is the best option for the following reasons.
Firstly, at the moment I have to rent a house. Having my own house
has been my dream since I graduated from university. I don’t have
my own house. I don’t have to worry about finding/looking for

-

accommodation
Secondly, a stable accommodation leads to a stable job. I feel
comfortable living in my own house. I would be very proud of buying

-

a house for my family.

I don’t choose to buy gold because I am not good at doing business,
the price of gold goes up and down I don’t know. Moreover, I am

-

worried about where to keep it.
I think it is not a good idea to save money in the bank because the
interest rate (lãi suất) is now low. Moreover, money will lose its value

-

when we keep it in the bank because of inflation.
In short, I would choose to buy a house./ buying a house is the best
choice

5. You have a younger brother who is a talented student. Which
high school would you choose for him: a school abroad in
Australia; a public school near home or a gifted school far from
home.
Sample 1:


- In my opinion, a public school near my house is the best option because
of the following reasons.
- Firstly, he can still live with my family. He can be well taken care of = My
family can take care of him well.
- Secondly, as he lives at home, my family does not have to pay for his
rent or other living costs.
- About 2 other options, I don’t choose a gifted school far away from
home because he has to live on his own, can’t see the family often, he

might feel homesick./ he sometimes get sick easily.
- I think studying abroad is not a good option because living in another
country is quite challenging for a young person like him. / It’s too
expensive, my family can’t afford it.
- In short, wherever he studies, it is himself who decided what he can
learn, so I think the public school close to my house is the best choice for
him.
6. You want to improve your English speaking skills. There are 3
options for you: joining an English club; joining an English class
at the center or talking to foreigners in public places.
- In my opinion taking an English course if the best choice because of the
following reasons.
- Firstly, a course in an English center gives me lessons from the
beginning level to higher level. It provides me with a lot of real life
situations. I can take part in many speaking activities.
- Secondly, the teachers in the center are always the experienced
teachers who know which materials are the best for the students, they
can correct the mistakes, they have good teaching methods which make
students find easy to understand.
- I don’t choose to join an English club because it is often noisy, you
hardly hear what other people are saying. No one corrects my mistakes.


- I do not choose to talk to foreigners in public places because they are
busy sightseeing, they are not willing to speak to us.
- In short, taking an English course is the best option to me.
7. Your school asks for your opinion about students’ wearing
uniforms. Which would you choose: wearing uniforms all week,
wearing uniforms 2 days a week or no uniform at all?
Sample 1:

- In my opinion, I would choose to wear uniform all week because of the
following reasons.
- Firstly, students dress in the same way; there is no difference between
the rich students and the poor students so the poor students will feel
more confident.
- Secondly, students wear uniforms all week, so they don’t have to think
of what to wear everyday or mix different clothes before getting to
school.
- Finally, uniforms show the school unity. They tell other people what
school you belong to.
- In short, wearing uniforms all week is still a good option. Many schools
are now asking students to wear uniforms all week.
Sample 2:
- In my opinion, I choose the option of wearing 2 days a week on Monday
and one weekday maybe Friday.
- Firstly, students can be proud of their school with the logo on the
uniform; this option can be guaranteed on important dates especially for
big ceremonies or meeting every Monday morning.
- Secondly, students can show their personality comfortably by wearing
fashionable clothes the other days. They can feel more comfortable, they
can wear their favorite clothes and keep up with fashion trends
nowadays.


- About 2 other options: wearing all week makes students feel
uncomfortable; they don’t have chance to wear fashionable clothes; and
if they do not wear uniform, the school unity will be lost.
- In short, I think students should wear uniforms 2 days a week.
8. Your cousin is the best student of the class this year. His
parents are thinking about a present, there are three options: a

laptop; a holiday or some money. Which option would you
suggest him?
- In my opinion a laptop would be the best present = gift for the following
reasons.
- Firstly, a laptop is an important and necessary thing to a student. It is
really good for his study. With a laptop, he can search for information, he
can learn English online.
- Secondly, he can relax by reading, listening to music, reading books
online.
- About 2 other options, I don’t choose a holiday because every year his
family usually goes on holidays. (he goes on holiday with his family every
summer)
- I think some money is not a good choice because money is not a
suitable present for a school student.
- In short, a laptop is the best choice for him.
9. You have a Sunday evening out with your friends: seeing a
movie, going shopping or singing karaoke /ˌkæriˈəʊki/. Which one
would you choose?
- In my opinion, going shopping with friends is the best choice
because of the following reasons.
- Firstly, my friends are all keen on shopping. You know, it is great to
spend money on buying favorite items such as clothes, shoes.
- Secondly, going shopping is also a good way to reduce stress after hard
working hours.


When I go to the supermarket with my friends and collect some items that
I like, I feel really relaxed and excited.
-

About 2 other options, I think seeing is movie is entertaining but we
don’t like watching films, it is difficult to choose a film that all of us

-

like.
Singing karaoke is not my choice because I am not good at singing. I

-

don’t like too noisy atmosphere in karaoke bars.
In short, going shopping is the best choice for me and my friends on
a Sunday evening.

10. Your class wants to do something to keep memories at the
university before graduation. Which option do you think is the
best one: a collection of essays; a class photo book or a class
video?
- In my opinion the best choice is a class video because of the following
reasons.
- Firstly, making a video helps to record real emotions and voices of all
class members.
- Secondly, we can keep unforgettable memories in an exciting way with a
video. We can both see images and hear voices of our friends.
- Finally, we can keep it as a soft copy on google drive or Youtube to avoid
being lost. Whenever we want to see we can open it. And it is easy to
share, easy to keep.
- I don’t choose a collection of essays because it takes my classmates
much time to prepare and write essays. It is quite boring to read all of
them.

- A photo book is not my choice because it is not as interesting as a class
video and it is expensive to make the photobook.
- In short, a class video is my best choice to keep memories.
11. You are on the way to taking a very important exam.
Suddenly, you see a person getting accident. There are 3 options:
keep going and ignore; stop to help that person or take the exam
simultaneously call the ambulance. (đang trên đường đi thi thì


đột nhiên gặp 1 người bị tai nạn; có 3 sựa lựa chọn: lờ đi và tiếp
tục đi; dừng lại để giúp; gọi điện cứu thương và sau đó đi thi)
Sample 1:
- In my opinion I would choose to call the ambulance then take the exam
because of the following reasons.
- Firstly, the exam is very important to me. This is my final term test.
- Secondly, calling the ambulance can help him get the immediate
emergency aid from the hospital. Experienced doctors know the best way
to treat him and save his life.
- I don’t keep going and ignore because I think it is important to save a
person’s life as we live in the same society, we should help each other in
life.
- Although stopping to help that person is a good idea, I might miss the
important exam.
- In short, call the ambulance is the best choice in this case.
Sample 2:
- Choice: stop to help that person
- Firstly: the exam is very important but for me, human’s life is even more
important.
- Secondly: if the first aid is not in time, the person can be in danger. I
have skills in giving first aid to people.

- Other 2 options: not keep going and ignore because I will feel guilty
when the person is danger and I ignore him. I don’t take the exam after
calling the ambulance because the patient may be in danger if the
ambulance is late. I resit the exam the next time.


12. Your company is going to have a new product and wants to
advertise it. What is the best option: make a phone call, send
emails or leaflets (tờ rơi).
Sample 1:
- In my opinion using leaflets is the best choice to advertise the new
product of my company because of the following reasons.
- Firstly, leaflets can be delivered to a large number of people. They are
easily delivered everywhere. I can post leaflets through people’s doors or
distribute them in public places.
- Secondly, leaflets can attract customers’ attention with colorful and eyecatching images. On the leaflets, there is a lot of information about the
product, design, function, use.
- I don’t choose to make a phone call because I can’t convey all
information, sometimes phone calls annoy customers. People can get
angry. Besides, It is expensive.
- About sending emails, many people don’t read them may consider as
junk mails.
- In short, using leaflets is the best choice for me.
Sample 2:
- Choice: I think the best choice is sending emails
- Reasons: 1st reason: Emails are popular and convenient with many
people. More people will know about the new products via emails. I can
send emails to many customers at the same time.
2nd reason: I can provide full information about products with cheap cost,
not as expensive as printing out the leaflets.

- Not choose leaflets: leaflets need more time and human resources and
money
- Not choose phone calls: people don’t like; they feel annoyed; they are
not willing to listen to; expensive.
Sample 3
-

Choice: make a phone call


-

Firstly: they can directly communicate with the listeners and

-

introduce to them about the new products
Secondly, they can get the answer immediately and quickly
2 other options: emails: many people do not read it and they

-

consider it junk mails
Leaflets: I am not good at designing; they are expensive; they need
time, human resources and money.

to lose weight. Which do you think is the best choice?

exercises allow more energy released and help us stronger and healthier.
Jogging or going to the gym every day is the good method.
Nowadays, some people often skip their meals or use drugs as the ways
to lose weight. These are acceptable in a short time because they can
have negative influences on our health. If people don’t eat any of three

meals in a day, they tend to die of eating and therefore they can eat
much more in the next meals without control. As a result, they become

Letting her…..: This is a bad habit that can affect many people and herself
32. There is a 3 day trip in one city in Viet Nam: Sapa/ HN/ Da
nang. What is
the best choice?
Sapa: it’s a beautiful place that I have never visited. There is the highest
mountain in the south East Asia/ I can know more about the culture of
ethnic
groups
Hanoi: I visited Hn many times
Da nang: I don’t like beach/ it is very expensive
Hoặc 32.1. Suggest a place for a foreign friend to visit when he
comes to Vietnam. (Hanoi/ Danang/ Dalat)
- Hanoi: the capital of Vietnam; I will take him to visit many
famous places to visit and take photos: Hoan Kiem lake, Ngoc
Son temple; ……. (entertainment centres); enjoy traditional food;
because I have been living here for 30 years; I know many

famous places in Hanoi, I want to introduce to him many things
about Hanoi. Visit Ha Long, ………
- I don’t choose Danang: he doesn’t like going to the beach;
expensive;
- Dalat: he visited it several times
Dalat: best choice; many beautiful places to visit; the weather:
cool; cloudy; activities: visit pagodas; …….
Danang: hot (summer) makes him feel uncomfortable; sunburn
Hanoi: hot (summer)
33. Your nephew is turning 6 years old next week and you are


going to buy
him a gift. There are 3 options: robot/ English comic books/
school bag/.
What’s your best choice?
English comic books: Firstly, it’s useful for him to learn English, learning
English vocabulary; it helps him to develop creativity (sự sáng tạo) and
imagination (trí tưởng tượng) when he looks at the pictures in the books.
Robot: he has a lot of robots at home
School bag: he has it already/ his parents bought him already
33.1 Hoặc Buying things for a five-year old son? What would you
buy for a five-year old son? (a toy/a book/ an Ipad)
33.2 Hoặc Buy present for your brother: a camera, a selfie stick
(gậy tự sướng), a 3-day holiday?
- I think the best present is a camera for the following reasons
- Firstly, taking photos is his hobby; he can take beautiful photos
- Secondly, he can save his memories with friends and family, helpful
because next month we have a holiday; he likes to take photos of family
and landscapes. I will give him on his birthday.

- He can earn some money, because he is really good at photography, he
can follow his dream of being a photographer
- Moreover, he can use it for a long time
- Other 2 options: I don’t choose a a selfie-stick because it is not as
useful as the camera; 3-day holiday is not my good choice
because next month our family is going to Da Nang.

a bouquet of flowers : it’s too simple

34. There are some ways to assess students’ behavior: selfassessment/ teacher
assessment/ peer assessment. What is the best choice? (tự đánh
giá – giáo viên đánh giá – bạn bè đánh giá) assess: đánh giá;
assessment: sự đánh giá
In my opinion, Teacher’s assessment is the best choice because of the
following reasons
- Firstly, Teachers have living experience and know strong points and
weak points of
students.
- Secondly, the teachers are flexible and can assess students in a
comprehensive and fair way.
Peer assessment: brings bias attitude and results may be unreliable
Self-assessment: it’s not objective and students do not have enough skills
to assess

themselves.
35. You are studying economics (nganh kinh te hoc) and need
daily update on economic news: Internet/ TV/ radio. What is the
best choice?
I think the Internet is the best choice
Internet:
Firstly, it’s cheap, fast, convenient, effective/ I can read the news
anywhere at any time I want with Internet connection.
Secondly, it contains a rich source of information about economics
TV: It’s not available every time and it follows the timetable
Radio: it’s boring/ the information is limited because of time
36. You have 3 days off and there are some activities: at home/
go hiking/
travel abroad. What is the best choice?


Hiking: relax and see views/ enjoy the fresh air in the mountain

Your family is making a plan for this weekend. There are THREE
options for you to choose:
-

Going to the cinema

-

Having meal in a restaurant

-

Going to the beach

Which plan do you think is the best choice for your family?
-

In my opinion, the best choice is having a meal in a restaurant for
the following reasons.

-

Firstly, This weekend I do not have free time, so I plan to have a
dinner out with my family. My children love hotpot, so I intend to
have a chicken hotpot in a restaurant near the city centre. It is a
famous restaurant and we have to make a call to book a table
before coming. Last week, we went to the cinema to watch ‘Kungfu
Panda 3’ so I am not going the movie this weekend. I can watch
films on the Internet or TV at home with my family. We are planning
to go to the beach this summer when my children have a long
holiday after a school year.

- whole family, meal, family’s favorite restaurant; the food there is good,
the view is beautiful; staff are friendly; it is not expensive to eat there
- we like different kinds of films, it is difficult to choose 1 film to see.
37. You are preparing activities for Women’s Day. There are some
activities
suggested: class picnic/ Miss contest/ party (karaoke). What’s
your best
choice?

Class picnic: have fun together/ have time to meet friends and do many


activities together: eating; drinking; playing games
Miss contest: there are many things/ plans to prepare
Party (Karaoke): it’s expensive and noisy/ not all students can sing
38. You want to raise money for charity (quyên góp tiền từ thiện).
There are 3 options suggested: concert/ 2nd hand market /
marathon
I think Option 2: It’s easy to collect a lot of 2nd hand stuffs/ things and we
can get a lot of
money; everyone has second-hand things and they are willing to give to
others/ charity.
Concert: I don’t have experience to organize/ not many people
understand about
the concert
Marathon: It takes a lot of time to prepare.
39. You need to take photos at the end of school year (chụp ảnh
kỷ yếu). There are some places suggested: park/ flower garden/
zoo. What is the best choice?
- I think: flower garden there are many beautiful flowers with different
colors to take photos; suitable for photography; suitable for posing; It
inspires people to pose more. They can take photos with their favorite
flowers. Students especialy girls like to see beautiful flowers in the flower
garden.
- I don’t choose the park because: it’s more suitable to do exercises/ It’s
far from school/ not beautiful
- the zoo is not my best choice because: there are many animals; it’s
suitable for visitors especially children/ not suitable for taking photos at
the end of school year.

In short, taking photos in the flower garden is my best choice.
40. You need to buy some things on Tet holiday. There are some
places
suggested: Traditional market/ supermarket/ department store.
