comfortable. The second, reasons is it can ofter me a chance to improve my health and keep my
body in shape (sip). I don,t think doing yoga is a good choice because I find it hard to learn and
it seems to me that erobics is not suitable for me.
There fore, I would chooce swimming in this situation.
ĐÈ 25: A family party

16
You know, my mother-in-law is going to be 80 next Sunday. I and my spouse wish to give her
a surprise. There are three options: a bunch of flowers, a holiday, and a family party. In my
opinion, a family party is my best choice for her for many reasons.
The first, it's really cozy and meaningful. I'm sure, my mother will feel so happy for that.
The second, a family party is a good chance for many family members to gather and say happy
birthday to my mother. I don't think a holiday is a good choice because she's not strong enough
and I thirk, a bunch of flower is not suitable for her.
Therefore, I would choose prefer a family party.

17
ĐỀ 26: Dalat city
You know, my family members are going to have a three-week vacation together. There are 3
options: Phuket beach, Dalat city and Sydney. In my opinion, Dalat city is my best choice for
many reasons.
The first, it's a small city of Lam Dong province, located in the highlands of my country. It's
not only beautiful but also peaceful (pi xi fun).
The second, it has a lot of tourist attractions that are worth coming such as Langbiang
Mountain, Lam Vien Square and so on. I don't think Sydney is a good choice because it's too
far and I have to pay a lot of money to travel by plane. And I think Phuket beach is not suitable
for me.
Therefore, I would prefer to choose Dalat city.
DE 27: A cellphone
- You know, On my son's 20" birthday, he desired to have a present from me. There are 3
eption: a computer,a laptop and a cellphone. In my opinion, a cellphone is the best choice for
him for many reason.
The first, reasons is the he can use it to play games, watch videos or listen to music when he
has nothing to do in free time.
The secound, reasons is he can take a lot of photos and post than on facebook everyday. I don't
think a laptop is a good choise because it's costly. And a computer is not suitable for him.
There fore, a cellphone is my final choice in this situasion
ĐE 28: Picture books
You khow, I'm asked to give advice on books for children to teachers at kindergartens.
There are 3 option: fairy tales, picture books and folklore. In my opinon, picture books are my
best choice for many reasons.
The first, They are really colorful and they can make a good impression on the children so they
can remember the lesion easier.
The second, picture in book can increase the attention of the children so the lession is more
effective(o phét ti vở). I don't choose fairy tales because they are just suitable for telling story
to children before going to bed. And I think folklore is too hard for children to understand.
Therefore, I would prefer to choose picture books to teach at kindergartens./
ĐE 29: Subways (tàu điện ngầm)
You know, the govemments are going to spend more money on improving public
transportation. There are 3 options: buses, trains, or subways, In my opinion, they should invest
in subways for many reasons.
The first, subways can move really fast so people can save a lot of time as well as money.
18
The second, it's really friendly to the environment and it can help to reduce a number of
congestions on the road. I don't think buses are a good choice because they can cause traffic
jams and I think trains are not suitable because they can cost a lot of money to build a railway
system.
Therefore, I think subways are the best one for govemment to invest in.
ĐE 30: Reading
You know, to reduce stress in modem life, there are three options: Reading, exercising, and
working in gardens. In my opinion, when I'm free in the evening, I will spend time reading and
whenever I have more time in the afternoon I do exercise to reduce stress.
The first I like reading because, it's really fascinating( phát xi nây ing) and a way of
entertainment. It's can help me unwind and let my hair down after busy time of work and study.
Moreover, I can widen my understanding about many aspects in life.
The second, I think doing exercise(ét sờ sai xờ) is important because it's good for my health.
It's can help me feel comfy.
Finally, I also like gardening but my house is small. It doesn't have enough space for a garden.
Therefore, I would prefer to choose reading or doing exercise to reduce stress.
ĐÈ 31: Lotuses (Hoa sen)
You know, in a beauty pageant, the candidate coming from my country is asked to introdute a
cultural symbol. There are three options: aodai, lotuses, and national flag. In my opinion, lotus
flower is the best choice for her for many reasons.
The first, it's not only the national flower of my country but Lotus Village is also the name of
Uncle Ho's Homeland, the greatest president in Vietnam history. The second, it's a symbol of
purity.
I don't think aodai is a good choice because each region in Vietnam has different clothes like
aobaba in the south and ao tu than in the north. Finally, I think a flag is not suitable for a beauty
pageant. Therefor, I would prefer to choose lotus flowers to introduce our cultural symbol.
ĐÈ 32: By train
You know, a group of people is planning a trip from Danang to Hanoi. There are 3 options:
traveling by train, by plane and by coach. In my opinion, traveling by train is the-their best
choice for many reasons.
The first reason is it's really cheap. Actually, they have to pay only 300.000 dong for a ticket so
it's suitable for all classes in life.
The second reason is it's really convenient because they can buy tickets whenever they get on
the train. I don't choose traveling by coach because il's not safe (and it can make people-
passengers feel carsick) and I think going by plane is too expensive.
19
Therefore, I prefer to choose traveling by train.
ĐE 33: Put your bag on the seat so people will not sit next to you, Move your bag so
people can sit down, Talk to the other people
Yow know, when I get on a train alone, there are 3 options for me: Put your bag on the seat so
people will not sit next to you, Move your bag so people can sit down, Talk to the other people,
Actually, whenever I get on a train, I will move my bag and talk to the other people sitting next
to me. In fact, each train has a luggage compartment so passengers can put their bags here to
give enough space for the other people.
Moreover, each person buys only one ticket. It means that they own only one seat. Finally, I
think that traveling by train will be really boring without talking during the trip so we can talk
together.

SPEAKING PART 3
Đề 1: Living in the contryside has many advantages
Many people think that living in the countryside has many advantages. And I strongly agree
with this statement for many reasons.
The first reason is the air is fresh. Actually, there are many trees, mountains, rivers and There is
no pollution from cars, factories, companies so that people can feel more pleasant when living
in the countryside.

20
The second reason is the neighbors are friendly. To be honest, they are willing to help each
other. I mean they always live in peace and harmony.
Moreover, the price is really cheap.You know, people can grow vegetables in their gardens and
They can raise animals like pigs, chickens for food.

reading books has a lot of benefits.
------------------------------------------------------
Đồ 3: It is the best for our children to go to abroad for higher education.
Many people think that it's the best for our children to go abroad for higher education.
And I strongly agree with this statement for many reasons.
Firstly, when they travel abroad to study, they will have better education. You know, they have
a chance to study at a top university and get a better degree.
Secondly, they can become more independent.
Actually, as students have to live far away from their family and friends, they will have to solve
any problems by themselves.
Moreover, young people can widen their understanding and meet up with many people from all
nations in the world. Therefore, 1 believe that studying abroad is really good for our children to
pursue higher study.

21
Đề 4: Television has destroyed communication among family and friends.
Many people think that television has destroyed communication among family and friends.
However, I pesonally think that TV has both benefits and drawback. On the one hand, TV is
really important in our life.
Firstly, It's a way of entertainment. It can help people reduce stress after a busy time of work
and study, so they feel more pleasant.
The second, we have a chance to update a lot of information and winden our mind.
Therefore, out life will surely be boring without TV. On the other had, if we spend about 6-8
hours watching TV everyday, it's really bad. A scientist had said that "TV is chewing gum for
the eyes" because there are to many programs on TV from sports, fashion to game shows.
Therefore, it's undeniable that if people know how to use TV effectively, it certainly has many
benefits.
--------------------------------
Đề 5: Parents are the best teachers.
Many people think that parents are the best teachers. And I strongly agree with this statement
for many reasons.
The first, they are closer to their children because they are always by our side since we were
born. They are willing to take care of us and our first lessons are leart from our parents. The
second, they teach us with love and responsibility.
Actually, they love us more than anyone else in this world so they always hope to bring the best
things for our future.
Finally, they understand our strength and weakness so they know how to give the best guidance
for us to live our life and to become good people in the community. Therefore, I believe that
parents are the best teachers.
--------------------------------
Đề 7: What are qualities of a good student?
Many students think that all they need to do in order to be good students is to work hard to get
knowledge and high scores, but I personally think that to become a good student, they need
some more important qualities.
Firstly, a good student should be hard-working and friendly with both teachers and friends at
school. Secondly, a good student should also be active in community. Actually, he should take
part in many outdoor activities and try to help many people in our life.
Finally, I also believe that a good student should also be well-prepared for the future and make
sure that he can get a good job to support his life and his family.

22
Đề 6: Not everything that is learned is.contained in books
Many people think that "Not everything that is learned is contained in books". And I partly
agree with this statement for many reasons.

entertainment. It can help me unwind and let my hair down after a busy time of work and
study.
The second, I have a chance to get more knowledge and widen my understanding about many
aspects in life.
However, I agree that not everything is learnt from books. Apart from books, I can learn from
teachers at school. Moreover, I can also leam from people living around us like my family
members and friends.
Finally, no one can teach us how to live our life so sometimes, we have to learn from our
experience.
------------------------------
Đề 8: Television has some positive and negative effects on people
Many people think that Television has some positive and negative effects on people. I partly
agree with this statement for many reasons. I have to say that it's a perfect way.for leaming and
relaxing.
Actually, there are many educational channels on TV for students to study such as HTV7,
CTV. Moreover, It's really interesting and a way of entertainment. If people spend about 1 or 2
hours watching TV every day, it can help them reduce stress after a busy time of work.
Moreover, they have a chance to update a lot of information happening in the world. However,
if people spend all day watching TV, they will become lazy and in active. They even can catch
obesity.
Besides, some information on TV hasn't been censored so it's really harmful for people
especially students and children. Therefore, although TV has some benefits, I believe it also has
some drawbacks.
-------------------------------------
Đề 9: When people succeed, it is because of hard work, luck has nothing to with success.
Many people say that when people succeed, it's because of hard work, luck has nothing to do
with success. And I strongly agree with this statement for many reasons.
Firstly, practice makes success. In other words, instead of waiting for luck, people have to
pertorm their plans and ideas to create good results.
Secondly, when people burn in work, they are well - deserved. Actually, successful people
understand that if they want something, they must work hard every day.
23
Finally, I think luck is a natural part and it doesn't have an important effect to their success.
Therefore, I believe that when people succeed, it is because of hard work, luck has nothing to
do with success.
-------------------------------------
Đề 10: Online learning is beneficial to students

statement for many reasons.
Firstly, online learning is very convenient. You know, students can study whenever and
wherever they want only with a mobile phone or a computer connected to the Internet.
Secondly, it is very cheap to study online. Well, students can do research at a very low cost or
even free. Moreover, because students can study at home, they can save time and money.

Many people think that studying abroad has many drawbacks. And I strongly agree with this
statement for many reasons.
Firstly, many students travelling abroad to study at top University, but in fact, they must live
far away from home, away from their friend and I think they will feel so lonely and homesick.
Secondly, I believe the cost of living is so high in foreign countries. To be honest, not every
international students has enough money to pay for it like food, bills and so on.
Moreover, students will face culture shocks because each nation has its own culture.

24
Finally, I think that instead of studying abroad, students can choose to study in their country.

-----------------------------
Đề 11c: Studying abroad has both benefits and drawbacks. (Lợi ích và bất lợi của du học)

Firstly, it has many benefits. You know, it's a way of education. It can help people widen
understanding and get more experience.
Moreover, they can discover new things such as cultures, customs and meet up with many
people. However, I think it also has some drawbacks.
Secondly, people have to live far away from home so they will miss their families and feel
lonely. It's too expensive because they have to pay for many things like books, food and
clothes.
Finally, they can face culture shocks so they will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, I believe that
studying abroad has both benefits and drawbacks.
ĐE 12: Nowhere is sweet like home" (Nhà là nơi ngọt ngào nhất)
Some people think that home is only a setting to eat, sleep and keep possessions.However, treat
if as a wrong point. Home is much more than a physical place, it makes a person feel good.
The main priority for creating a positive psychological atmosphere is treating a particular place
as your refuge from all possible moral or physical disasters.
Another strong point is that our home is our native land, a place or country in which our
ancestors dwell or dwelt.
It is very important, because the roots of our nation always symbolize stability and feeling of
safety. In addition, you can easily create a cozy atmosphere when being at home in your native
country and feel an entire member of nowadays society.
Otherwise, without your place to stay, you can never feel happy as being some kind of intruder
to other's personal space.
---------------------------------------
Đề 13: Internet is a good source to collect information
Many people think that "internet is a good source to collect information". And I partly agree
this statement for many reasons. On the one hand, internet can provide rich information for
people and it can make life easier and more continent.
Actually, internet is so easy access so people can use internet as a way of entertainment and
update a lot of information happening in the world. On the other hand, the information on the

25
internet. may be incorrect, so it can give misconceptions to users. Moreover, the internet may
contain violet information, leading to wrong behavior, especially young people.
Therefore although internet is a good source to collect information, I believe it also has several
drawbacks.
------------------------------------
ĐE 14: Internet has changed our world in different ways
I personally think that Internet has changed our world in different ways both positively (pa dờ
típ ly) and negatively (na gờ típ ly). It has many benefits. The first, it's really interesting and a
way of entertainment. It can help me refresh my mind by listening to music, watching videos,
playing computer games. So I will feel more comfy. The second, I can widen my understanding
about many aspects in life and update a lot of information.
However, the internet can bring people a lot of drawbacks. Firstly, if people spend too much
time using the internet, it's a waste of time and money. And some people can have health
problems. Secondly, more and more people are too dependent on the internet, they can forget
their real life. Therefore, I think that if people know how to use the internet effectively, it
certainly has many benefits.

Đề 16: It's better for children to gow up in the countryside than in a big city.
Many people think that it's better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city.

The first reason is when children live in city, they will have a better standard of living.
Actually, children will have a better educational system, services, healthcare and everything.
Therefore, they will surely have a better future when they grow up. The second reason is after
leaving school, they will find more job opportunities with handsome salaries, which makes
their life happier.
Đề 17: Parents are the best teachers.
It is said by some that "parents are the best teachers". from my point of view, I strongly agree
with this statement because of many reasons.
The first reason is parents are always close to their children. clearly, they live together in the
same house and they see each other every day, so I think they can share a lot of things and
teach children a lot of lessons.
The second reason I want to mention is most of parents love their children unconditionally very
much. They tend to spend the best things for the children and teach them small things in life,
for example, parents teach children how to talk, how to walk, how to eat and then how to
become a good person.
26
Finally, parents can understand the strengths and weaknesses of their children, so they can give
their children the best guidance to live the life happily when they grow up.
Therefore, it's true to say that parents are the best teachers.
Đề 18: Not everything that is learned is contined in books

Many people think that "Not everything that is learned is contained in books". And I partly
agree with this statement for many reasons. On the one hand, books are really interesting and a
way for me to reduce stress after a busy time of work and study.

things. However, experience and skill are also important in my life. Actually, no one can teach
me how to live my life, how to share my feeling and course such things must be learned from
my own experience. Now days, E-books are becoming more popular and I think they are
necessary because people can read books whenever and wherever they want without buying
any of them from bookstores, which can help them save a lot of money
Đề 19: When people succeed, it is because of hard work, luck has nothing to with success.
Many people say that when people succeed, it's because of hard work, luck has nothing to de

can have a chance to widen my understanding about many things.
Secondly, when people bum in work, they are well-deserved.
Finally, I think luck is just a natural part. Actually, although they are always luck in life, they
will fail without working hard. There is a saying: failure is the mother of success. In other
words, don't be afraid to fail because learn to keep trying for it
