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.

In short, I am satisfied with my life because of those things.

Topic 11 Travelling

Travelling is one of my hobbies. On holiday I usually go Travelling with


my colleagues. We usually travel in a place where there is a beach. I love beach
very much. At night we sit beside the sea and play some games, eat seafood,
sing songs and talk together about everything. Then the next morning, we get
up early to see the sunrise. After that we swim and play some sports at the
beach. My country has a lot of beaches but Nha Trang beach is my favorite. It
is very far from my house and it takes me to go there for about 10 hours by bus.
The journey is long and I feel so tired when going there but when I see the
beach I feel relieved and relaxing. I usually go to Nha Trang one time a year
and I always want to go back there because of the white sand. I hope you can
also go there to see it’s real beauty.

Topic 12 Our house
One of our dreams is to have a big and beautiful house.
My house is small but it’s nice. It is located near the river. It has five
rooms. There are two small bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom.
I love staying in our living room because everytime I have free time I usually
watch my favorite TV shows. On the weekends my cousins always come and
visit our house. We play some games and sports at our backyard. Our house
also has small garden. My mother loves planting vegetables and I always enjoy
watching the flowers and butterflies at our garden. My family is living in the
countryside therefore, there are few houses near our house. However, it is very
quite, safe and peaceful. Our house is just small but it is the place where I keep
all the beautiful memories with my family. When I get older I promise to come
back and live my home for the rest of my life.
In short there is no place like my home in my mind.

of my mother. She is not only my mother but also my friend and my great

prepare breakfast for us. She is the first person to come up my mind,
encourage and give me advise whenever I have difficulties in life.

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.

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.

about products, and you can see if things are on sale or not.

Topic 18 Learning English

English language is now very important in the lives of people as it is


used as an international language. All English learners want to improve
their English skills as quickly as possible but we have to admit the fact that
it is really difficult process. We need to improve not only our speaking
skill but also our listening, reading and writing skills so people who really
wants to improve need to be very diligent, hardstudying and patient
learning it.
We all know that being fluent in speaking English can help us to get
better job, get higher salary, higher position at work, can help us to
understand the people, books and information from other countries and
help us to have more friends and it is easy to communicate with other
foreign people if we know how to speak English. It has actually a lot of
advantages but sadly to say that many of us ignore learning it. Some
people think that English is not useful to them, very difficult language to
learn and some are even saying that they can’t afford paying tuition fee
for English Learning centers because it’s too expensive. However, I believe
that people who are trying to learn English will improve depends on how
hard they are learning and how eager are they to become successful in the
future.
I hope more and more people in Vietnam will be interested learning
English for the development of their country.

Topic 20 Why breakfast is
important

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it


is also the most neglected. Common reasons for not eating
breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional
dislike for breakfast , and dieting. Breakfast simply means “break
the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in
fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the
day’s work ahead. A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of
our total calorie needs for the day. On average, we eat 400 less
calories for breakfast than for dinner. If the breakfast does not
appeal to you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in
the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the
morning . If you still are not hungry in the morning, start with
something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious mid-
morning snack later when you are hungry . So you say you’re on
a diet. Some people fear eating breakfast will make them
hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that
eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the
day. That’s because your body is working correctly. Although you
may feel as if you are eating more all day long , in reality you are
probably not . Not eating breakfast can also cause to overeat,
since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.

To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state


it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently . If
you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day,
you are less likely to become hungry and stuff yourself as soon as
you begin to eat. Since breakfast is the first and most important
meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important.

The best breakfast foods are fruits , juice, lean meat, and
grain products such as bread, rice, noodles, and cereals
