Part II
TOPIC 1: Let’s talk about global warming and solutions to this problem. The following
questions may help you.
Global warming means the Earth is getting hotter because of gases like carbon dioxide and
methane in the air. Vietnam is affected by this, with problems like rising sea levels, stronger
storms, and more natural disasters. The main causes are burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees,
and pollution from factories.The effects are serious, including melting ice, stronger storms, and
loss of animals and plants. To fix this, we can use clean energy, protect forests, and live in a way
that is better for the environment. Everyone should be more careful about how they affect the
Earth, such as reducing waste, using less plastic, and conserving water, to help stop global
warming.
Questions
1.What should you do to reduce global warming?
To reduce global warming, we should use clean energy, protect forests, reduce waste, use less
plastic, conserve water, and choose sustainable transportation options
2.Do forests help cool down our planet? Why?
Yes, forests help cool the planet. Trees take in heat-trapping gases and release oxygen, which
helps balance the Earth's temperature. They also provide shade, reducing heat on the ground.
TOPIC 2: Let’s talk about how you keep a healthy lifestyle. The following questions may
help you.
To maintain a healthy lifestyle, I believe it's very important because it helps prevent illnesses and
keeps both our body and mind in good shape. To stay healthy, I focus on eating balanced meals
with a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins like chicken or fish. I also
drink plenty of water and try to avoid sugary drinks. I also make time for physical activity,
whether it's walking, cycling, or doing home workouts, to keep my body strong and fit. I aim for
7-8 hours of sleep every night to ensure my body gets enough rest. To relax my mind, I like to
meditate, listen to music, or take short walks in nature. These habits help me stay energized,
focused, and happy.
Question
1. What do you think the best way to have a healthy lifestyle?
The best way to have a healthy lifestyle is to eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly and get
enough sleep. Drinking plenty of water and staying active are also key.
2. What is the healthy diet?
A healthy diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It’s
important to drink plenty of water and limit processed foods, sugary snacks, and unhealthy fats.
TOPIC 3: Let’s talk about some differences between the generations in your family. The
following questions may help you.
In my family, there are some differences between generations. For example, when it comes to
spending free time, my parents usually enjoy relaxing at home, watching TV, or chatting with
family and friends. In contrast, I prefer spending my free time online, reading, or going out with
friends.As for hobbies, my parents like activities such as gardening or cooking, while I enjoy
hobbies related to technology and learning new things online. We also have different opinions
about life; my parents value stability, while I am more open to change and new
experiences.Sometimes, we have conflicts, especially when it comes to my career choices or how
I spend my time. However, we try to solve these conflicts by talking calmly, listening to each
other’s perspectives.
Questions
-What is the generation gap?
The generation gap is the difference in opinions, values, and behaviors between younger and
older generations.
-Do you think there is the generation gap in your family? And how do you deal with?
Yes, there is a generation gap in my family. My parents have different views on many things,
like technology and free time. We deal with it by talking openly, listening to each other, and
respecting our differences.
TOPIC 4: Talk about the ideal city of the future.
The ideal city of the future would be clean, green, and smart. It would use renewable energy like
solar and wind power to reduce pollution. There would be many parks, trees, and green spaces
where people can enjoy nature and relax.Transportation would be eco-friendly, with electric
buses, trains, and bike lanes to reduce traffic and pollution. Technology would help manage
traffic, energy, and waste more efficiently. Buildings would be tall, modern, and energy-
efficient, using smart systems to save resources.This city would focus on sustainability, comfort,
and innovation, making it a great place to live for everyone. It would combine technology with
nature for a healthier, more enjoyable life.
.Questions
1. Do you like living in a smart city? Why?
Yes, because it’s convenient, eco-friendly, and uses technology to improve daily life.
2.What are some drawbacks of living in a smart city?
It can invade privacy and might be expensive to live in because of advanced technology.
TOPIC 5: Which human activities contribute to global warming the most?”.
The human activities that cause global warming the most include burning coal, oil, and gas for
energy. These activities release harmful gases like carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the
atmosphere. Cutting down forests also makes global warming worse because trees absorb carbon
dioxide, and without them, more of this gas stays in the air.Wasting energy, such as leaving
lights, fans, or machines on when not needed, increases the use of fossil fuels. Dropping litter,
especially plastic, pollutes the environment, harms wildlife, and makes it harder for nature to
recover.To reduce global warming, we can use renewable energy like solar and wind, save
energy, and recycle. Protecting forests is also important. Small actions from everyone can make
a big difference in protecting the Earth and slowing global warming.
Questions
1.What is one example of a human activity that releases greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, or gas.
How does deforestation contribute to global warming?
It reduces the number of trees that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
Why does burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming?
It releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas into the atmosphere
