books. Reading is an inexpensive hobby that provides so many benefits.
Books help me widen my knowledge of the world. When I am sad
or feel boring in life, I often read book. I realize that the life has many
wonderful things than I thought and I need to try my best to have a good
future. Books also bring me more motivation and joy in life. All of
parents want to give their children a quality education. I think the best
method is let them read book, regardless of any kind of books, as long as
those books are useful to widen their knowledge.

volleyball and tennis. But my favorite sport is badminton. It is very exciting
sport, so I often play it in our yard with my friends or my bother in my free
time or after school. We often play badminton for at least one hour. It is not
difficult to play because it only needs two or three players to play. And also
need rackets and a shuttlecock and a net then you can start to play.
There are also other reasons why I like playing badminton. First, I can
improve my health by playing it. It makes me feel very active and energetic
everyday. Second, I enjoy the feeling of the badminton flying in the air.
Besides that, I can make many friends when I play badminton. And lastly,
playing badminton can reduce my stress whenever I feel sad, boring and
tired because of my work.

Five Most Important
Topic 9 things in my life
There are many things that are surely important in our life, but I would like to
share with you the five most important things in my life. First is my family of course,
They are the most important in my life because they are the one who raise and take
care of me since I was born. They always support me, help me and share everything
they could just to make sure that I’m happy in life. Second is my pet, It’s name is Shao
Yu. Shou Yu is a very friendly and smart dog. Whenever I am feeling sad, we usually
walk to the park and play together there. I love my dog because It is my best friend.
The third important is my phone. Phone is very useful to me. It can help me in my
study, help me to keep in touch with my friends and classmates and also it helps me
to relax. In my free time I usually use my phone chatting with my close friends and
browsing facebook. The fourth is my bike. I have a small bike that I use to go to
school and go somewhere everyday. Without it I think It will be very hard for me to
visit my friend’s house because I am living three kilometers away from them. Last but
not the least is my health. My mother told me that I have to be always healthy so that
I am free to do whatever I want. When I am healthy enough I can play with my
friends and dog everytime and everywhere I want. I can travel with my family and I
can always go to school and study well. Therefore, after I get up I and my dad usually
do exercise. We play badminton in front of our yard and sometimes we go jogging
around our village.
15. Who is your bestfriend? Why did you choose her/him as your bestfriend? Can you
describe your bestfriend?
Topic 10 My favorite subject
When we were students we learned many subjects at school. Some are
very useful for us and some are not. However, I would like to share with you
my favorite subject. I love learning science because I feel interesting when
learning about plants and animals. My science teacher’s name is Linh. She is a
very good science teacher. Whenever I and my classmates don’t understand the
lesson we just ask her and she explains it well. She also spends her free time
teaching students who don’t understand the lesson. I really admire my science
teacher. I hope I can be the same like her who is very devoted and passionate
with her job.

Topic 16 Music
Music is all around us. It’s on the radio, on TV, in the background , in
department stores, restaurants, and even on our smartphones! Music is
important in our everyday lives because it helps us to relax and even learn
something from the lyrics. There are many kinds of music such as pop, hip
hop, rock, classical, reggae, romantic, ballad, country, gospel music and so
on. I like pop music the most, I actually download lots of it. Whenever I
listen to pop music I feel relaxing and it reduces my stress.
I prefer listening to English songs even sometimes I don’t understand
the lyrics but when I try to sing it I feel that I can practice my pronunciation
and improves my English skills. I hope more and more people will like
singing English songs so they can learn and improve like me.
I really like shopping, because it's fun and I enjoy it. I like shopping for clothes
and food.
I usually go shopping in big shopping malls, because there are many choices of
clothes and food. I usually go shopping once a month, sometimes just window
shopping when I don’t have money. I and my family members never go shopping on
Sundays or late at night, because we go shopping on Saturdays morning. I usually buy
books, because I read a lot and there are a lot of interesting books I haven't read yet.
I always go shopping with my mom, because she has a good taste for clothes. I
really like shopping with her. I go window shopping really often. That's my favourite
thing to do. I spend my pocket money on chewing gums and smoothies. I don't like
online shopping, because I cannot see if the clothes are fit to my body.
I hate TV commercials, because they are annoying when they interrupt the film.
Ads and TV commercials are sometimes good, because they give you information
about products, and you can see if things are on sale or not.
