WRITING EXAM 1
Task 3 ✓ A: How does music make you feel? I am a music lover.
I usually listen to music depending on my mood. Listening to music makes me feel
relaxed and there are many songs that make me feel the same emotional harmony
through the lyrics.
✓ B: I want to take up playing one music instrument. Can you give me some advice?
In my opinion, playing an instrument should choose an instrument that suits our
interests and desires. Because when you like you will learn and apply very quickly. For
me playing musical instruments is also a form of art enjoyment, so I would choose an
instrument that I have always wanted to learn such as if it were me I would learn the
piano.
✓ C: Nowadays, some people complain that many shops are playing too loud music,
what do you think about this? In my opinion, playing loud music will affect everyone
around. This can affect their work or time around. So I think we should play music at a
volume just enough to listen to so as not to affect people around.
Task 4: Dear members, In recent months, the number of events in our club has
increased rapidly. However, we do not have enough members to run all events, which
might cause many interruptions and delays. Therefore, we are looking for some
volunteers to support, and they are required to be available some evenings during the
week. Do you have any suggestions to attract volunteers to join? Please let us know your
suggestions and why.
The manager.
Question 1: Write an email to your friend, who is also a member of the club. Tell your
friend what the club should do. Write about 50 words. Recommended time: 10 minutes.
Dear Tom,
Long time no see, how are you? I just received an email from the club manager, they
informed me about the lack of volunteers leading to the delay in club activities. What do
you think about this issue? In my opinion, they should put up ads to find volunteers to
solve this problem because advertising will help people know, in addition, stickers will
help advertise for people to know about the club. What do you think about this, please
reply to me!
Love
Le Uyen
Question 2: Write an email to the manager. Tell the manager what suggestions you will
make and why. Write 120-150 words. Recommended time: 20 minutes.
Dear Sir or Madam,
First of all, thank you for your announcement about the lack of volunteers leading to the
delayed in club activities and I was saded to read this announcement. I am contacting
you to discuss a solution to fix this problem.
Actually, as a student, I often use social networks, so I think we should call on members
to share posts on Facebook in public mode so people know more. And we will find
members faster through advertising membership posts on Facebook.
Besides, as a member of a club, I feel that I am very unhappy to the club had to delay the
event due to a lack of people. I think advertising to find volunteers on Facebook is a
perfect opportunity for people to get to know the club more also we can also hand out
flyers to everyone to increase the ability to find members faster. What do you think
about this approach?
I would appreciate a prompt reply to this letter
Yours faithfully,
Le Uyen.
SPEAKING – FAMILY OF 5 IN THE PARK
Task 1: ✓ Please talk about the last time you hung out with your close friends
I often go out together with my friend every last week. We usually go to the cinema and
shopping or make a small food party.
✓ Can you tell me about your first school?
My first school was a primary school. I remember it was quite big with 6 blocks and the
schoolyard was in the middle of the blocks.
✓ Who is your favorite singer? Son Tung is my favorite singer. He is a famous artist in
Vietnam. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a beautiful voice, so his songs are
very popular and known all over the world.
Task 2:
► Please describe what you see in the picture.
In the picture is a family of 5, 3 young children and their parents playing in a park,
behind are a forest with many trees and leaves. The two children in the middle are girls
playing in a circle. The sky is blue and there are few clouds.
► Can you talk about a sport you enjoyed playing with when you were little?
My favorite sport is badminton and I have been playing it since I was a kid. When I was a
kid, I played with my family members and friends. And to this day I still play it and I play
with my team members. I think playing badminton will help me have good health and a
beautiful body. It also helps me get closer to everyone when we play badminton
together.
► In your opinion, how have children games changed in the past 50 years?
In my opinion, in the past, when modern technology had not yet developed, children
would often play folk games or outdoor group activities such as jumping rope, kicking a
shuttlecock, blindfolded, catching goats, or swimming. But today when modern
technology devices develop, children today often play video games or games on the
Internet. This will affect the health of children if they abuse video games excessively.
