I am going to tell you about An. We have known each other for 10 years/ since 2010. She is
a kind, friendly and humorous person. This is because she always helps me when I have trouble.
For example, when I had a fever/was extremely sick/ was under the weather/ felt poorly last
week, I couldn’t go to school, so she took notes/ jotted down for me. She is a big fan of/ is
interested in/ is keen on/enjoys/ is passionate about/ is crazy about reading books and cooking.
She cooks better than I do. Because Reading helps her to increase knowledge. Additionally,
reading books gives her the opportunity to broaden her horizons and perspectives about the
world. Besides, Cooking makes her feel relaxed and comfortable after a day of hard work. She
can recharge her batteries and relax her mind when she reads books and cooks meals for her
family. She can make pizza very well. Currently, she is a student at Hanoi University which is

Speaking 2.
Situation: You are assessing your student's test. There are three suggested ways: marking
only, writing comments and both- cả. Which option do you think is the best choice? Why?

I am going to talk about the situation. [Đọc nguyên đề bài phần giới thiệu tình huống]

All three options [liệt kê 3 sự lựa chọn] are reasonable but when choosing among three
options, I believe that [option A] is the best choice because of the following reasons.

-Firstly, it is convenient and suitable

-Secondly, it is good (for students). Students can understand their strength and weakness
( điểm yếu). They will know how to improve themselves in the future.
-Thirdly, I/He/She like + phương án chọn …… I can encourage them to study better.
-Finally, it is + adj khen (time-saving)

Therefore, they are the reasons why I agree with this solution.

Marking only
And there are some reasons why I don’t choose the other options.
[Option B] isn’t my choice because it is boring and inconvenient. Moreover, I am not
interested in + phương án B (marking only)
Finally, it is + adj chê ( not good for students) because Students cannot understand their
strength and weakness ( điểm yếu)

I don’t think [option C] is the suitable choice because it lacks sui-ta-bi-li-ty and convenience.
Moreover, I am not a big fan of + phương án C
Finally, it is + adj chê ( not good for me ) Because I cannot encourage students to study
better.

Hence, (they are the reasons why) I do not agree with these solutions.
To sum up, if I were in the situation, I would go for [option A] because it is the most
suitable.

eating junk food helps/enables people to save a lot of / a great deal of time. For

On the other hand,- mặt khác thì, despite the aforementioned benefits,

people eat fast food regularly, people may suffer from serious diseases such as
obesity and high blood pressure. Another downside would be that producing
fast food is disadvantageous to/for the environment. People use a lot of plastic

It is said that online learning is the best way of learning.

Do you agree or disagree?
=> topic: online learning => education
It is the fact that education plays an important role in our lives. Nowadays, an increasing
number of people are concerned about online learning. Some people subscribe to the view
that online learning is the best way of learning. I am one of those who strongly agree with
this idea because of the following reasons.

1 TS => 2-3 SS => 1 CS

thân 1 - khen 1 - cheap + convenient
Firstly, it is obvious that online learning is convenient. This is due to the fact that students
can stay at home to study and they do not have to travel. In stead of spending 30 minutes
going to classes, they can make use of that period of time to study more. In addition,
online learning is cheap and even free. For instance, everyone can enroll in free courses
NGUYEN THANH TU
Hanoi Procuratorate University

(which are offered by prestigious universities) all around the world. Hence, it is
beneficial to learners as it is not only cheap but also convenient.
thân 2 - khen 2 - effective: students + teachers
Moreover, this learning method contributes to make the lessons more effective. This is
because during online courses, students can surf the Internet, play games, and use some
educational applications to make their learning experience more interesting. Besides,
thanks to various websites and tools, teachers can manage classrooms and deliver
knowledge better. Therefore, online has a positive impact on the quality of the lessons.
