swimming, acrobics, yoga. which
answer
My situation is summer vacation is coming. I wish to take up a kind of sports to
keep fit. There are three options for me: swimming, aerobics, yoga. In my
opinion, swimming is my best choice for many reasons. The first, the weather is
really hot in the summer so swimming can make me feel cool and comfortable.
The second, it's really cheap. Actually, it costs nothing to swim in the sea.
Moreover, it's a survival skill so it's important for people.
I don’t think doing yoga is a good choice because it’s hard to learn. To be
honest, it has a lot of movements and steps that make me confused and I think
doing aerobics is not suitable for me.
In short, I would prefer to choose swimming if I were in this situation.

Đề 2
Phuket beach, Dalat, and Sydney

You know, my family members are going to have a three-week vacation

together. There are 3 options: Phuket beach, Dalat, and Sydney. In my
opinion, Dalat city is my best choice for many reasons. The first, Da Lat City is
not only beautiful but also peaceful. Besides, the people living here are friendly
and warm-hearted. The weather is nice.
The second, It is really cheap and convenient. I’m 100% guarantee that it is
cheaper than other destinations since Da Lat is a city located in our country.
Moreover, coming to Da Lat city, I have a chance to visit many famous
landscapes like Lang Biang mountain, Lam Vien square, and so on. I don’t
think Phuket beach is a good choice because I find it hard to communicate with
local people. And I think Sydney is not suitable for me. In short, I would prefer
to choose Dalat if I were in this situation. Saving a large amount of money.
Đề 3
a bunch of flowers, a holiday, and a family party.
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 many reasons. the first, it's
convenient for us to prepare all things and this's a chance for each members of
my family to gather and say happy birthday to my mother together. the second, a
family party is actually cozy, I’m 100% guarantee that my mother will feel
happy about that. I don't think a holiday is a good choice because she's not
strong enough. and I think a bunch of flowers is not suitable for her.
Therefore, I would prefer to choose a family party for my mother.

Đề 4
a state-owned university, a private one, or a vocational college? Why?
Answer
You know, my son is going to get into university next year, There are 3
options: a state-owned university, a private one, or a vocational college. In my
opinion, a state-owned university is the best choice for him for many reasons.
The first, the school fee in a state-owned university is more cheaper and
reasonable than other schools. Actually, when studying in a state-owned
university, students don't have to pay too much money. The second, students
have a chance to join in a lot of activities outside the classroom. I don't think a
private one is a good choice because, actually, we originate from the
countryside, so it's too expensive for our standard of living. and I think a
vocational college is not suitable for him. You know that, there are many options
in our lives, so we should choose the better one, right? And in this case, a
vocational college is not suitable for him. In short, he would prefer to choose a
state-owned university in this situation.
Đề 5
a computer, a laptop, and a cellphone.
You know, My Son's 20th birthday, he desired to have a present from you.
there are three options: a computer, a laptop, and a cellphone. In my opinion,
a Laptop is the best choice for him for many reasons.
Actually, He is a second-year student at Vinh University so a Laptop is not only
essential but also convenient and versatile. Firstly, He can use it to study online,
search for information, look for documents, even he can use it to write
documents and submit assignments. Second, He can relax by listening to music,
watching videos, and playing games after work. I don't think a cellphone is a
good choice because he already has one. and I think a computer is not suitable
for him. It's quite bulky and it occupied a large space in his small room.
In short, I would prefer to buy a laptop in this situation.
Đề 6
a tutor, a waitress, and a shop assistant. Which job do you think is the best
choice?
You know, my friend is a fresh student. she is looking for a part-time job but
she does not know what job is suitable for her. There are three options: a tutor,
a waitress, and a shop assistant.
In my opinion, a tutor is the best choice for her for many reasons. Firstly, she
is a fresh student at Vinh University, and her major is English teacher training. If
she is a tutor, she will help herself learn all things on a deeper level. So, this is a
chance to her can get more knowledge and skills for her future job. Second, it’s
easy to flexible her time, she can choose what days to work and where to work,
and how to work. I don't think a shop assistant is a good choice because it's
really time-consuming. And I think a waitress is not suitable for her. She In
short, she should become a tutor in this situation.

Đề số 7
Fairy tales, picture books, and folklore
You know, I'm asked to give advice on books for children to teachers at
kindergartens. There are three options: Fairy tales, picture books, and folklore.
In my opinion, 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 lesson easier. The second, pictures in books
can increase the attention of the children so the lesson is more effective. I don't
choose fairytales 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.
Đề 8: part 2
aodai, lotuses, and national flag.
Chọn ÁO DÀI
You know, In a beauty pageant, the candidate coming from my country is
asked to introduce a cultural symbol. there are three options: Aodai, lotus,
and National flag. In my opinion, Aodai is the my best choice for many reasons.
The first, in Vietnam, it’s not only a kind of clothes but also holds the soul of
Vietnam people. The second, it’s really beautiful and it symbolizes for the
beauty of all the women not only in Vietnam but also in over the world. I don’t
choose lotus because it cannot be kept for a long time. And I think a national
flag is a national symbol not a symbol of beauty. Therefore, I would prefer to
choose Aodai.

Chọn Lotus plower

You know, In a beauty pageant, the candidate coming from your co

Untry is asked to introduce a cultural symbol. There are three options: aodai,
lotuses, and national flag. In my opinion, lotus plower 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. Therefore, I would prefer to choose lotus flowers to introduce
our cultural symbol.
Đề 9:
When you get on a train alone, what do you do? Use specific reasons and
examples to support your opinion: put your bag on the sent to people with
not sit next to you, move your bag so people can sit down, talk to the other
people.
My situation is my reaction when I get on a train alone. Among the 3 options: put
my bag on the sent to people with not sit next to me, move my bag so people can
sit down, and talk to the other people. I don't suppose one of them is the most
suitable choice because of the following reasons. Actually, wherever 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 passengers. 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.
Therefore if I were in this situation, I would prefer to do all of them due to the
above reasons.

Đề 10
Situation: The governments are going to spend more money on improving
public transportation. Which means of transportation (buses, trains, or
subways) do you think they should be invested in?
ANSWER
you know, there are 3 options for a government to invest in: bus, train, or
subway. In my opinion, investing in subway is the best choice for many
reasons. The first, it has great speed so it can save time for passengers. The
second, it's really safe. Moreover, it also reduces traffic congestion and
environmental pollution. They shouldn't spend much money on bus because it
can increase traffic jams, especially during rush hours.
And I think investing in train is not a good idea because it can cost a lot of
money to build a railway system. Therefore, I believe that it's a great idea if
government spends money on subway.
 Đề 11
Situation: You are asked to suggest some different ways of escaping the
stress and difficulties of modern life. Reading, exercising, and working in
their gardens, what do you think are the best ways of reducing stress? Use
specific details and examples in your answer).

you know, to reduce stress in the modern time, there are 3 options: reading,
doing exercise and gardening. 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 or keep fit. Firstly, I like reading because it's really
interesting and a way of entertainment. It can help me refresh my mind after a
busy time of work. Moreover, I can widen my understanding about many aspects
in life. Secondly, I think doing exercise is important because it's good for my
health, It 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.

use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
you know, if I could be a bird, there are 3 options for me: a pigeon, a peacock, or
a swan. In my opinion, a pigeon is my best choice for many reasons. The first, it's
so beautiful and it's a symbol of love and peace. The second, it's so intelligent
that it can help people to exchange letters in the past.
I don't think a peacock is a good choice because it's too big, heavy and it cannot
fly. It seems to me that swan is not suitable because I don't want to spend half of
my life in the water.

Đề 13
You are going to invite your friends to your birthday party, but you are
wondering where to hold your party: at your house? At a restaurant? or at a
karaoke? (Bạn dự định mời bạn bè đến dự tiệc sinh nhật của bạn nhưng tự
hỏi nên tổ chức tiệc ở nơi nào, tại nhà, tại nhà hàng hay ở quán karaoke?)
Sample answer: I am planning to have a birthday party and invite my friends
over, but haven't decided on a venue yet. Among the three options: my house,
restaurant, and karaoke bar, I think I would rather have a party at home than the
other 2 places because of the following reasons. Firstly, I can prepare my own
cakes and delicious food for the friends I love. Secondly, having a party at home
is more comfortable and less expensive. I think holding a party at a restaurant is
also a good idea but it's not as private and cozy as at home. I don’t choose a
karaoke bar because I am not really into singing.

Which season do you think is the best time to go Vietnam: spring, autumn or
summer? (Một số người bạn nước ngoài nhờ bạn tư vấn về thời gian tốt
nhất để đến thăm Việt Nam. Bạn nghĩ mùa nào là thời điểm tốt nhất để đến
Việt Nam: mùa xuân, mùa thu hay mùa hè?)
Answer: I was asked to give advice to some overseas friends on the best time for
them to visit Vietnam. Among the three seasons: Spring, Autumn, and Summer, I
think Spring is the most suitable time because the weather is warm and there are
many interesting activities to prepare for Tet holiday that they can participate in.
I think Autumn and Summer are also good ideas but tourists may face many
disadvantages in terms of weather if they come to Vietnam in these two seasons.

accommodation you want. There are three options for you to choose from:
living with your parents, living with your close friends in a rented house,
and living in the dormitory. Which do you think is the best?

Sample Answer: Now, I’m 18 so it’s time for me to decide where to stay. Among
3 options: living with my family, living in a rented house with best friends, and
living in the dormitory, I think living in the dorm would be the best choice for me
because of the following reasons. Firstly, it will be more convenient and effective
for my study since I can have easy access to school facilities such as library or
laboratory. Secondly, I will have the opportunity to experience many interesting
collective activities while living there. I think living in a rented house and living
with my family are also good ideas but they will involve commuting to college.
Moreover, when I'm with my parents, I won't be able to practice self-reliance.

like to go to: the cinema, shopping center, recreation center? (Bạn và bạn bè

phim, trung tâm mua sắm, trung tâm giải trí?)
Why ? (Tại sao lại chọn rạp chiếu phim?): bởi vì rạp đang giảm giá vé cho bộ
phim hành động vừa công chiếu.
Why not? (Tại sao không chọn trung tâm mua sắm, trung tâm giải trí?): vì trung
tâm mua sắm xa nhà và trung tâm giải trí thì đã đi vào tuần trước.

Sample Answer: My friends and I are considering where to hang out tonight.
Among three options: the cinema, shopping center, and recreation center, I
suppose I would choose the cinema as the most suitable choice because it is
currently offering a discount on tickets tonight for the action movie that just
came out. I think the shopping center is also a good idea but it's a bit far from my
house. On the other hand, I don’t choose to go to the recreation center since we
went there last week. In short, the cinema is the option that suits me most.

chép vào sổ nữa và đã được mẹ tặng cho 1 chiếc túi rồi.
Sample Answer: A close friend wants to give me a present for my birthday and
asks me to choose one of the items including a camera, a bag, or a notebook.
Obviously, a camera would be my ultimate option. Actually, I have been longing
to own a digital camera for a long time but haven't saved up enough to buy one
yet. I think a notebook is also a good idea but I don't have the habit of taking
notes in a notebook as before, now I prefer to use online applications on my
phone. I will not choose a bag since my mother gave me a very beautiful bag. In
short, I hope to receive a camera on my birthday next week.
