I really like her songs because they help me feel more positive and happy. She also inspires me to live more
positively and love life more. She regularly participates in charity activities to help disadvantaged children
Her kindness and talent have transmitted great positive energy to me.
Her name is Minh. She’s in her fifties now but she looks younger than her age. She was slim with long black
hair. She was my teacher in Math lessons throughout my high school years.
What impressed me most about her was her dedication to teaching each lesson. Even though time is limited,
she still cares about each student in the class and supports them in solving any problems.
Furthermore, she was regarded as an emotional advisor to all pupils. She came to see me after class every
time she saw me lacking concentration in class, to help me solve that problem.
I've known him since preschool. We play together from class until we go home. Minh and I became closer
and closer.
After school, we often gather together and watch a lot of cartoons on TV, play a lot of games like racing or
playing Uno. This went even further in the summer when I even stayed in his house all day, just sleeping,
eating and playing – the real feeling of summer vacation.
One thing I found surprising about him was that although he was very playful, he quickly became a diligent
and determined person in studying. He studies very well and often gives me lessons. So he helped me a lot.

Our houses are close to each other so we often see each other. On weekends we invite each other to eat,
watch movies and talk about many things. he is really a good friend
◆ A song
In my spare time, I often listen to music to relax after every class. I listen to many different kinds of music,
but my favorite is ballad music. First, this kind of music is traditional (truyền thống) and very popular in
Vietnam. People can listen to it on radio, TV, CD or on the Internet. Secondly, ballad music helps me feel
comfortable. The song "My Hometown" by singer Thuy Chi, I have listened to many times. The voice is
warm and soft (nhẹ nhàng). My mother also likes that son. Sometimes she and I sing together while doing
housework. In the countryside, people often gather and sing a famous song of this genre. These days, few
young people like to listen to this music. All in all, I think more and more people will enjoy listening to
ballad music in the future.

To be honest, I don't read many magazines these days, but I still read Vietnamese newspapers. It provides all
the information that has been happening in Vietnam and the world. From society, economics, school,... and
more. It is very useful for people who like to read news and updates related to society. Reading newspapers
and news is beneficial for learning new things. . Someone asked me, why don't you use your phone to watch
the news. I like simple things, I like reading pages more than staring at my phone. Reading newspapers or
magazines may be impossible for many people, but for me, I love this hobby. It reminds me of my
childhood, running around the store to borrow magazines and newspapers to meet famous people or read
some stories. I hope everyone can read more newspapers and magazines.

Facebook, a popular social networking site, I use every day. Using Facebook is very simple. Facebook
brings interesting experiences to users around the world. They can post comments, share photos, chat, and
watch short videos. I get a lot of benefits from the web. Firstly, it helps me keep in touch with friends. Even

information. It's a great way to explore the world through video and keeps me up to date on all things
educational and interesting. In short, Facebook is an interesting website.
◆ An advertisement
"I remember a really memorable commercial for Samsung phones that I saw on TV. I actually don't
remember when I watched it, probably about 3 years ago. The ad showcased the capabilities of the phone's
camera by following a group of people as they danced in the streets of a city, and the camera tracked their
movements and captured stunning photos. about the city. The use of music is also really effective in
advertising, adding energy and overall excitement to the video. I think the ad successfully promoted the
phone because it showed off one of its best features in an attractive way. This ad is effective because it
combines creative imagery, music, and a strong message about the product or service."
◆ A photo
Today I want to share with you a photo of my family. It's a photo of all my family members. It was taken
during our trip to Phu Quoc last summer
It was taken by a tourist. We were catching the sunrise at the beach at 6am. That moment was very beautiful.
Everyone looked cheerful and happy. It's rare that we get to be together so we just wanted to capture that
wonderful family bonding moment so we asked another tourist who was standing nearby. The photo is like a
beautiful memory to me. Although there are many other pictures, I like this one the most.
I put this photo in the living room so all guests can see it. Occasionally I clean it to make it look like new. I
am so lucky to be born into a family where everyone loves and cares for me. When one person's life is
difficult, others always support.

its attention to detail and commitment to quality.
I had the opportunity to experience Lexus during the trip. I was especially attracted to the Lexus because of
its elegant design and performance. The interior is luxurious and comfortable, while the exterior is modern
and stylish.
I plan to use this vehicle to go to work. Although traffic conditions in Hanoi City are quite difficult, sitting
in the car is still cool, comfortable and safe. I can enjoy music and air conditioning. Also, I would use it for
long weekend trips.
The main reason I wanted to buy a Lexus was because it was famous for its durability. I don't need to worry
much about errors or repairs. I can use it for many years, which can save a lot of time and money because
Lexus quality is outstanding.
6. TOPICS ABOUT ACTIVITIES
◆ A free time activity/ sth you do to help you relax
Now I will tell you about watching movies, in my free time. I really like the romance and comedy genres, it
brings a light and positive feeling. I watch movies every week with my soulmate named Linh. We have
known each other since we were in kindergarten.
I often watch movies at home because it's free and I can eat snacks to my liking and enjoy my own space.
Sometimes I go to the cinema to watch movies because the sound and visual effects are more realistic and
attractive than watching movies at home.
One of my favorite movies of all time is "Blue Eyes". ". "Blue Eyes" is a work of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh,
published in 2000. The work is published in the form of movies, stories, books or via radio. The film Mat
Biec has the content about love, the unrequited love of the characters. During the movie, Ngan's love affair
with H Lan is the main detail. H Lan is a person whose outstanding feature is beautiful eyes. to sad love,
especially Ngan's love for H Lan. A boy falls in love with a beautiful girl while studying in a rural area. But
one day, H Lan studied in another city, she realized her countryside was boring, and fell in love with Dun - a
city boy. After a series of events, the characters all have their own direction, H Lan regrets it but it is too
late. This love story has taken away a lot of tears from many people.
In my opinion, watching movies is not only entertaining but also educational. It's a great way to learn
English. Another benefit of watching movies is that it helps me improve my critical thinking ability when I
have to summarize the movie and discuss the meaning behind it with friends
◆ A hobby you would like to take up
◆ A outdoor activity/ game/ sport
I want to talk about a sport that I especially love and have been practicing for several years. It is badminton,
it is a popular sport all over the world. For me, badminton is not only a sport or exercise but also a way for
me to relieve stress and make new friends.
The first time I learned about badminton was when I was young. However, at that time I did not play
badminton regularly, partly because I was not fully aware of the importance of physical exercise, partly
because I could not find a friend to play with. When I was in high school, badminton was one of our subjects
and my high school had a spacious playground for sports activities so I practiced badminton a lot more
often.
I often play badminton on weekends when I have a lot of free time. I often go to sports centers with some
classmates to play badminton.
For me, badminton is a good sport that helps me pursue a healthy lifestyle. Finally, playing badminton
allowed me to develop some important and non-academic skills such as discipline, teamwork, problem
solving and collaboration.
7. OTHER TOPICS
◆ An ideal job
Now let me tell you about my ideal job.
That is the job of a banker at large banks in Vietnam
In this position, I will be required for specialized knowledge and consulting ability to bring financial
solutions to customers.
To qualify for this position, I require a university degree related to banking and finance, an English
certificate and some other certificates.
This position is ideal for me because it is a stable job that brings high income. It helps me develop social
skills and increase social relationships. Moreover, it is developing very well now and in the future.
◆ A subject that you like at school
Among all the subjects at school, my favorite is definitely Math, . To be honest, as a child, I was never the
biggest fan of Math, because it was so confusing. However, as I grew up, I realized that the complexity of
Mathematics is its appeal, so I have been fascinated ever since.
In Math class, we gain a better understanding of numbers and shapes, through formulas, equations,
measurements, and lots of calculations. It requires logical thinking, hard work and good memory. Many
people think that the knowledge we learn from this subject is not practical, but I personally find Math very
applicable. For example, simple activities like calculating my daily expenses would not be possible without
Arithmetic. What I love most about Math is the feeling of euphoria after solving a difficult problem - it's the
best experience ever.
Overall, Math is a special subject and is especially suitable for people interested in logic and numbers - such
as me! I simply love it and I am considering a career in this field.
◆ Food
I want to talk about my most favorite dish called BUN CHA, a traditional and popular dish in Northern
Vietnam.
It can be translated as “grilled pork vermicelli” and usually includes grilled meatballs, pork, vermicelli,
optional fresh vegetables and a special dipping sauce. This dish is full of flavor and doesn't require many
special ingredients. A portion of bun cha allows customers to feel the softness and sweetness of the
meatballs and the sweet and salty taste of the dipping sauce. People usually enjoy this dish for breakfast but
I can eat this dish for every meal of the day.
Because I have always been a lover of traditional cuisine, bun cha naturally became my favorite dish.
Originally from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, but now I can easily find this dish in every city in Vietnam
because it is really delicious and affordable.
To me, bun cha is definitely a true specialty that tourists must try when coming to Vietnam. It has also been
featured many times on famous culinary websites as well as culinary and travel television channels.
My favorite season is spring. Where I grew up, spring falls in March and April, although depending on the
year, spring often starts earlier or later. It's a short season, but it's a pleasant one. People tend to be in a good
mood during this time of year because the climate is pleasant and the weather is mild. After a long, cold
winter, warm spring temperatures are a welcome change. The temperature increases to about 15 to 25
degrees Celsius, I think this temperature is much more comfortable than the freezing winter or hot summer.
In spring, I do many things. I like going out and doing activities like cycling and traveling. Spring weather is
ideal for this because high humidity has not yet appeared. Spring is also very beautiful because flowers
bloom so there is a feeling of color and new vitality. Furthermore, spring in my country is quite dry so you
don't need to worry too much about mold. People participate in a lot of outdoor sports at this time of year
and I find it's also the time when I exercise the most. Perhaps this is the reason I like spring the most. It's just
a pleasant time of year when you can do what you want without having to worry about harsh weather
conditions.
◆ An environmental problem
I will talk about one of the most serious environmental problems in Vietnam in recent years, water pollution
Water pollution is mainly caused by industrial discharges and wastewater containing pollutants and
chemicals. Additionally, runoff from agricultural areas may contain pesticides and fertilizers that also
contribute to water pollution.
The effects of water pollution on Vietnamese people are very adverse. Contaminated water can lead to
health problems in humans, such as waterborne diseases and long-term health problems. It also damages
aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity,
In my opinion, solving water pollution in Vietnam is extremely important for many reasons. First and
foremost, clean water is essential for human health and well-being, and contaminated water can lead to a
variety of diseases and health problems. Furthermore, Vietnam's economy depends heavily on agriculture
and fisheries, both of which are threatened by water pollution.
Overall, addressing water pollution is important not only for people's health but also for the sustainability of
the country's environment and economy.
MỘT SỐ ĐỀ KHÁC XUẤT HIỆN NĂM 2023
Describe a facility (sports center, shopping center, cinema, theater, etc..) in your area that you use
frequently.
I’m an introvert and not usually keen on socializing with others, so I often find a noiseless spot to frequent
every time I’m stressed out from study. It is a small and cozy café within walking distance from my house.
Unlike other coffee shops near my neighborhood, the atmosphere here is extremely quiet, which greatly
lives up to my expectation. The café gives me a certain degree of peacefulness and calmness, especially
during nerve-racking times like final exams when I am up to ears in assignments.
What leaves the most profound impression on me, is the complete silence in the café as the shop owner is
thankfully not interested in music of any kind, so no background music is expected when you visit. I can
increase my concentration while reading a book or other materials and finish work with great productivity,
compared to when I’m at home, surrounded by many disturbances like babies crying and neighbors arguing.
Describe a mobile app you use on your mobile phone
Today I’d like to talk about Facebook, which is probably the most commonly-used app on my phone. You
know, I am not really sure why but Facebook can be very addictive.
Unlike the others, I felt like using Facebook would help me to stay up-to-date much faster and expand my
network throughout the world. Anyway, when it comes to the reason why I spend a large amount of my time
on Facebook, it is because Facebook really comes in handy whenever I need to reach out to someone
instantly. Besides, I follow a lot of informative pages and blogs on Facebook so I am always up-to-date with
the latest news. I find reading short stories and articles on Facebook very hard to resist for some reason.
I know it’s an unhealthy habit but I can’t help gluing my eyes to Facebook every time I use the phone!
Describe a store that you would like to visit
I think I would choose “ABC”, which was just opened 2 months ago near my house. Though it’s still new to
the citizens in the area, a lot of people visit it all weekend. This shop mainly focuses on a variety of
household appliances that are a necessity for everyone. Therefore, it usually sells TVs, washing machines,
refrigerators, and other cooking machines like ovens, cookers, or stoves. Since the day it was opened, life in
my neighborhood has been very joyful. People don’t have to travel a long way to buy TV or cookers
anymore, now that there is a very big shop which offers them a lot of good electronic devices. Besides, this
shop, which can seat up to 1000 people, is very spacious and modern with well-trained staff and good
service. Hence, these are also some reasons why I enjoy this new shop a lot as there is no need to waste time
traveling to a faraway place.
Describe a sporting event that you have been to
A few years ago, my father took me to a basketball game that was being played at a university. The teams
were the Shanghai Sharks and another university team. I can’t remember what the team’s name was but they
were all dressed in purple and looked quite funny. I can’t remember who won, but it was obvious that the
Sharks were playing very soft on the other team. The atmosphere in the stadium was so exciting. Everyone
was shouting, whistling, cheering, and just making noise. I was cheering for the Sharks and my dad was
whistling so loudly that people started looking at us. I was kind of embarrassed, but he didn’t care. After the
game, we stopped at a snack shop and got some drinks and a snack.
Describe an open-air or street market which you enjoy visiting.
My country has many street markets or open-air markets all over the place which are visited by hundreds of
thousands of people every day in order to meet their daily needs. Today, I would like to talk about one of
these open-air markets which I really enjoy visiting. The market, I am talking about, is located in a very old
town. Situated by one of the largest rivers in my country. In fact, this open-air market is so busy and popular
among the people who come here to find a suitable location to conduct their business activities.I enjoy
visiting this market for a few reasons. Firstly, the atmosphere is very lively and energetic, with vendors
calling out to customers and bargaining for prices. Secondly, the variety of products on offer is amazing, and
I found many unique items that I have never seen before. Finally, the market is a great place to interact with
locals and learn more about the culture and traditions of the city. I also enjoy trying out the local street food
and snacks, which are op ôp ọ ordable.
Last month, I had a get-together with some of my high school friends whom I had not met since we
graduated. Then, we decided to have lunch at a well-known pizza restaurant in the city center. Arriving at
the restaurant, we we re quickly given the menu. What surprised me the most was that there were various
types of pizza and drinks; hence, it took me quite a long time to choose the food. After that, we talked with
each other while waiting for the dishes. Some of my friends were studying at the same university, some had
decided to get a job. And I was especially impressed by the decision of one friend to take a gap year. She
said that as she had a strong passion for traveling, she would spend one year visiting lots of places.
Then, the dishes were served. The pizza was out-of-this-world and the drinks were tasty although they were
a bit pricey. We kept talking and enjoyed the meal and drinks for about two hours. Actually, meeting them
reminded me of the time when we studied at high school and I realized that now we were all grown-up, we
had our own plans to pursue. But we all promised to meet up regularly.
Well to be completely honest, I don’t know the first thing about any law specifically, but if I have to think
about one, I think it would be the restriction on cellphone use while driving in my country. You know,
answering phone calls or texting while driving or riding motorbikes is a common sight in Vietnam therefore
the government has decided to enact this restriction. Under this regulation, drivers using handheld phones
while driving motorbikes have to pay a fine of 600 to 800,000 VND. They also have their driving licenses
revoked for 3 months. If a violator causes a fatal accident, they will face criminal charges.I think this
regulation is absolutely reasonable because drivers who use cell phones to text are more likely to look over
their phones than the road and can take away a life in the blink of an eye. Therefore, they fail to concentrate
and reduce their vision of the road ahead.
