C1, B2
Dear Jane,
Thanks for your letter and it was great to hear from you. You asked me to tell you about my
favourite day of the week. Well, it’s definitely Friday.
One reason I like Friday is because I have my favourite subjects at school: Physical Education
or PE and Chemistry. Chemistry’s great because we do experiments in the science lab and our
teacher, Mr King, is so funny. In PE, we usually play basketball, which is my favourite sport.
We also have French on Friday, which is actually my least favourite subject, but after that we
have ICT which is much more interesting. At the moment I am creating a webpage for our
basketball team. After school I hang out with my friends, and then in the evening I play
football at the sports centre. On Friday nights we sometimes go to someone’s house for a party
Edulife trangtuyensinh.vn
or watch a DVD. We can relax a bit on Friday evenings because there’s no school on
Saturday.
Tell me about your favourite day in your next letter. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love

Dear Jane,
It’s amazing to get your letter. How are things? I hope they are all fine.
I am going to tell you my favorite day of the week. I like Sunday most because I don’t have to
go school and I can do a lot of things I like. In the morning, I get up at about 6 o’clock and
then I go to the park near my house to have some exercise there. I usually play badminton with
my friends. It’s relaxing and good for my health. Then I go home and have a bath. I have
breakfast with bread and a cup of coffee, sometimes I go out and have Pho, a traditional
Vietnamese dish. After breakfast I often go shopping with my best friend, Phuong. We buy
things and eat at a shopping center. In the afternoon, I go swimming. This is my favourite
sport. I really like being in water. In the evening, I go to the cinema with my family.
Sometimes we go to a restaurant and eat there. In the evening, I do my homework and go to
bed. That is my favourite day of the week.
Tell me about your favorite day in your next letter. I look forward to hearing from you.
Love

C1
There is no denying the fact that online shopping has become more popular than in-store
shopping. However, this trend has both positive and negative aspects.
On the one hand, the huge popularity of online shopping can be attributed to the fact that it
makes shopping easier. It saves both time and money. Buyers no longer have to drive all the
way to shops to buy things. Also, online stores tend to offer attractive prices. This allows
shoppers to be able to buy items at deeply discounted prices. In addition, online shopping
makes it easy to buy things from any part of the world. Even if an item is not available in your
country, you can buy it from online stores.
On the other hand, however, the ease of online shopping has made many people compulsive
shoppers. Most of us spend lots of time on the internet every day. The fact that online
shopping encourages us to buy things that we do not need or use cannot be denied. This can
lead to debts. Also, there are security concerns. When you buy things online, you run a small
risk of getting your financial information exploited by hackers.
To conclude, online shopping has several advantages and disadvantages. However, the
advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Of course, the shopper has to exercise some common
sense and keep their device free of malware if they want to enjoy the benefits of online
shopping.
B2
We cannot deny that more and more people are becoming interested in online shopping.
However, there are both good and bad things of online shopping.
On the one hand, online shopping helps us save a lot of time and money. We do not have to
spend much time to go to stores and look for the things we want. We can stay at home, turn on
the computer and go online. There are thousands of things available for us to choose. And it
may take only a few minutes to find the things we want before we order and wait for the thing
to arrive. Also we do not have to spend any money on travelling to the shops. Online shoppers
can often get good deals, it means they can buy things at lower price in comparison with
buying things from the in-store shops. Moreover, it is easy to compare prices online. These can
help us save a big amount of money.
On the other hand, however, online shopping can worry us. We may buy things we do not
really need or the things we get may be different from things we order. Sometimes we may get
wrong color, wrong size and the quality is not as good as they advertised. In addition, we may
Edulife trangtuyensinh.vn
lose money when we buy things online. The information related to our account may be stolen
and someone can easily get our money from the account.
To sum up, online shopping can have both good and bad effects on the development of the
society. Personally, I believe that we can avoid troubles if we are wiser and more careful.

things. They are not as good as we think. And we may lose money because we have to give
someone our information of the account. And if we buy too many things online, we can spend
too much money.
To sum up, online shopping has both good and bad things
