activities in your area? What kinds of clothes should I pack?
Dear Susan,
Sorry I haven't written for so long but I've been really busy recently studying
for my exams. It was great to get your letter and hear all your news, especially the
part about you and your parents coming to visit in September.
The weather is still fairly warm then so we should be able to spend quite a bit of
time at the beach. I think your parents will really enjoy the city, particularly the old
town. The music festival will be on then so we shall take full advantage of that as
well.
You asked what clothes you should bring. You will be fine with light summer
dresses, skirts and trousers and a sweater or jacket for the evenings, which can be
rather cool. Don't forget to pack your swimming costumes! It will still be warm
enough to swim.
I'd better go and get on with my exam preparation. I hope your exams go well
too and that you have a lovely summer. I'm really looking forward to seeing you in
September!
All the best,
Anna

Many cities suffer from traffic-related problems. What problems does traffic
cause in cities and what are the possible solutions?
1. Viết đoạn mở bài
Nowadays almost every city in the world has to face with traffic related problems.
This essay will describe some problems caused by traffic and suggest some
possible solutions to overcome them.
2. Viết đoạn thân bài 1 sử dụng những gợi ý sau
-Traffic jams are caused by too many cars and lorries. The number of vehicles
allowed into city centres should be limited to reduce the amount of traffic.
-Traffic problems in cities increase journey times to work and school. People
should pay to drive into cities during busy times such as mornings and evenings.
Firstly, one of the most obvious problems in big cities is traffic jams. They are
caused by too many cars and lorries, especially during rush hours. It can easily be
seen that a long line of vehicles gets stuck in the traffic. As a result, it takes longer
time to get to work or school. A solution to this problem is to limit the number of
vehicles allowed in city centres to reduce the amount of traffic. Moreover, people
should pay to drive into cities during busy times such as mornings and evenings.
By doing this, more money can be raised to invest in public transport.
3. Viết đoạn thân bài 2 sử dụng những gợi ý sau
-Air pollution caused by traffic has increased health problems. Environmentally-
friendly cars should be cheaper/ public transport should be more reliable and
efficient.
Another worrying trend is that air pollution caused by traffic has increased health
problems. For example, people in big cities seem to suffer from respiratory
diseases more often than those in the countryside. To tackle this problem, the
government should help to produce cheaper environmentally friendly cars. Also,
DANG HAI ENGLISH
public transport should be more reliable and efficient so that people would rely on
public transport more. This would lead to a reduction in the amount of traffic and
air pollution would be decreased consequently.
4. Viết kết bài
In conclusion, traffic problems such as traffic jams and air pollution are very
common in cities. I believe that if the suggested measures are taken, these
problems will be resolved.

I couldn’t have asked for better guides to show me around. Sorry I didn’t write to

TASK 2
Childhood obesity is becoming a serious problem in many countries. Explain the
main causes and effects of this problem, and suggest some possible solutions.
Đoạn 1: Giới thiệu chủ đề + trả lời yêu cầu đề bài
Many nations in the world are now facing the problem of obesity among young
children. As it badly affects young generation’s health, steps should be taken to
overcome this problem. In this essay, I would describe some significant reasons for
this problem, the effects it brings and propose some possible solutions.
Đoạn 2: Viết nguyên nhân và hệ quả
Causes
-eat junk food e.g. hamburgers, chips/ drink sugary soft drinks
-lack of exercise/ physical activity contributes to the obesity problem
-play computer games/ chat on the Internet, rather than playing outside or doing
sport Effects
-these problems lead to obesity/ children are overweight, unhealthy, unfit
-a higher risk of diseases e.g. diabetes, heart diseases, cancer
-put a strain on hospitals/ they will be a burden on hospitals in the future
Firstly, one of the most obvious reasons for being overweight is an inactive
lifestyle. It is true that children nowadays tend to lack exercise and physical
activities. For example, many children like playing computer games or chatting on
the Internet rather than playing outside or doing sport. Another cause of this is the
young’s preferable unhealthy diet. They often eat junk food like hamburgers or
drink sugary soft drinks. This less active habit and unhealthy diet would contribute
to obesity which can lead to a higher risk of diseases such as diabetes, heart
diseases or cancer.
DANG HAI ENGLISH
Đoạn 3: Viết giải pháp
The problem of obesity can be solved in many ways. Firstly, it is the parents’ and
schools’ responsibility to ensure that children have a healthy diet at home as well
as at school. Furthermore, parents could restrict the time they spend playing
computer games and at the same time encourage them to take regular exercise. A
further solution is for the government to limit junk food advertising. By doing this,
children can stay away from food that has a negative effect on their health.
Đoạn 4: Kết luận
In conclusion, obesity is still one of the most serious problems affecting children’s
health in the modern world. I believe that only when parents, schools and
government take actions, could the problem be resolved.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing in response to your request for further information of my friend’s
birthday party.
My friend has invited some close friends at high school and university. We are
mostly university students who are 20 years old and we are young and dynamic.
Her parents and her brother who is a high school student are also going to attend
the party. There are 20 people altogether. Concerning the activities, first I would
suggest that everyone will enjoy a meal together and sing the happy birthday song.
After that, it would be great if we took part in some activities such as dancing,
singing karaoke songs, playing some funny games and so on. Regarding the food
and drinks for the party, we have not chosen them yet, so could you please
recommend some delicious dishes served at your restaurant? Finally, please
prepare a birthday cake with 20 candles for my friend.
I am really grateful for your assistance in organizing the party for my friend. I
hope that we will have an unforgettable celebration with you.
Yours sincerely,

TASK 2
Nowadays more and more people are interested in playing games, especially
children. While I accept that video games are beneficial to kids’ growth and
advancement, I also believe that they badly affect their lives.
On the one hand, computer games bring plenty of educational benefits, which
give children chances to develop different skills. In the first place, games
encourage children’s imagination, creativity, concentration and problem solving
skills. For example, engaging in a motor racing game, kids have to highly
concentrate on it to avoid any obstacles on the road. Another advantage of
computer games is that they prepare children for real world tasks. Because games
stimulates activities in real life, children are able to improve skills needed to
complete tasks outside the gaming context. Making cake game, for instance,
enables kids to learn how to make a cake in reality
On the other hand, I believe that gaming has a negative impact on children’s
lives. Firstly, children are easily addicted to games because users are motivated to
achieve higher scores or new targets. As a result, they spend too much time sitting
in front of computer screen, which is harmful to their eyes. Moreover, a sedentary
lifestyle might also lead to obesity. Another detrimental effect is that children
might not have enough time to take part in outdoor activities or complete their
schoolwork, which is important to their lives.
All things considered, it seems to me that the potential dangers of video games
outweigh the benefits. As a consequence, parents should limit their children’s time
of gaming.

Dear Ann,
I’m delighted that you are coming to Vietnam next month. I think it would be
great if you could stay with me and my family, who send you their best wishes.
Otherwise, if you prefer, I can easily book you a cheap but comfortable hotel in the
city centre so you can be more independent.
There are lots of things to do in my city. If I were you, I’d spend some days
sightseeing in the city and then another few days discovering Hanoi surrounding.
There are several interesting museums and temples which I’m sure you will enjoy.
When you are here, I will show you around Hanoi especially some places of
interest including The Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Sword
Lake, West Lake and so on. Moreover, we can also try some Vietnamese
traditional foods which are really delicious.
About the weather, the winter is coming soon, so you need to bring some warm
clothes such as coats, pullovers, scarves and so on. You know, Vietnam is famous
for cheap but high quality clothes, so why don’t you buy some here instead of
packing too many clothes from home?

Please let me know exactly when you're coming so that I can meet you at the
airport. It’ll be great to see you again so we can get up-to-date with all our news!

TASK 2
Shopping online has grown rapidly recently. According to Ho Chi Minh city
Department of Industry and Trade, the city has had 92,910 commercial websites of
which 80,000 carry on e-commerce.
Nowadays shopping on the Internet has become increasingly popular. Ho Chi
Minh city Department of Industry and Trade states that 80,000 out of 92,910
commercial websites carry on e-commerce. This essay will describe both benefits
and drawbacks of buying things on the Internet.
On the one hand, there are some merits of buying items online. Firstly, it is
quicker and cheaper to shop on the Internet. For example, instead of going to
traditional stores, people can just stay at home and order the products they wish.
Therefore, it enables them to save time and cost of travelling. Another advantage
of purchasing on the Intenet is that it allows people to have a wider range of
products at a competitive price. As almost everything is sold online nowadays, it is
possible for people to do research of the desired product from various providers.
Thus, they are able to compare different brands and shops in terms of price,
quality, guarantee policy and so on.
On the other hand, making a purchase on the Internet can be negative in several
ways. The first drawback is that customers cannot try the products before buying
them. As a result, they might not be satisfied with them when the products get
delivered home. For example, it is impossible for people to try on clothes to see if
they fit or not. Furthermore, products sold online are often less reliable. To be
specific, customers might see unreal pictures of the products online and the things
they buy might have poorer quality than expected.
DANG HAI ENGLISH
In conclusion, it can be seen that shopping on the Internet has both merits and
downsides. However, I believe that the advantages still outweigh the
disadvantages.
