I would love to stay in New York City for a short time. I’ve always been fascinated by
the energy and diversity of the city, and there’s so much to see and do. I would love
to explore the different neighborhoods, check out some of the famous landmarks
like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park, and maybe even catch a Broadway show. I
would also love to try some of the amazing food from all over the world that you can find in the city.
I would go there with a group of my friends from college. We’ve talked about taking a
trip together for a while now, and I think New York City would be the perfect
destination. We’re all really adventurous and love exploring new places, so I think we
would have a great time together.
I would only want to stay for a short time because, even though there’s so much to
see and do in the city, I think it can also be pretty overwhelming. I would love to have
the opportunity to experience all the excitement and energy of the city, but I think it
would be nice to have a break and come back home after a few days. Also, it’s a
pretty expensive city to stay in and I can’t afford to stay there for a long time. Part 3 Why do people

Câu trả lời mẫu:
So, one time I was on a study abroad program in Japan, and my classmates and I
decided to go out for sushi. We ended up going to this tiny little sushi restaurant in a
back alley that we stumbled upon by accident.
The sushi was amazing, but the thing that made it so unusual was the way it was
served. Instead of getting our sushi on plates, the chef brought out these little boats
made out of bamboo, and the sushi was arranged on top of the boats. It was
definitely different from anything I had ever experienced before.
Another thing that made the meal unusual was the fact that the sushi was super fresh
– like, the fish was still moving when it was served. It was definitely a bit strange, but
also really cool to see how fresh the sushi was.
Overall, it was an unusual meal because of the unique presentation and the super
fresh sushi. It was definitely something I’ll never forget. Part 3

Câu trả lời mẫu:
Last semester, I was a part of a group project for my marketing class. Our task was to
come up with a marketing strategy for a local small business and present it to the
class. The project took us about two months to complete, and we met up regularly to
discuss our progress and delegate tasks.
The four of us had different strengths and weaknesses, and we all contributed
something unique to the project. For example, one of my group members had a lot of
experience in graphic design, so she created all the visual aids for our presentation. I,
on the other hand, had experience in market research, so I helped analyze the data we collected.
The final presentation was in front of the whole class, and our professor as well as
the classmates were impressed by the level of detail and research that went into our
project. We ended up getting an A on the project.
The reason I did it with others is that group projects are a great way to learn from
others, and it’s always more fun to work with friends and get different perspectives
on a problem. Collaborating with others also helped me to learn new skills and
improve my teamwork and communication skills. Part 3:

Câu trả lời mẫu:
One time, my friend gave me a book that I had been wanting for a long time. It was
called “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. I received it as a birthday present from my
friend in October of my sophomore year in college.
I had heard so much about this book and how it had such a great impact on people’s
lives. I had also seen a lot of reviews of it on Goodreads and other book review
websites. I had seen it at the bookstore a few times but never actually bought it.
When my friend gave it to me, I was so excited because I had wanted to read it for so long.
I think what made me want it so much was the idea of the story, it was about a young
shepherd boy who goes on a journey to fulfill his personal legend. I thought it would
be a great way to help me figure out what I want to do in life. I also love books that
have a lot of meaning and can teach me something new.

So, why was I late? Well, I was working on in the library, and honestly, I totally lost
track of time. I was in the zone, trying to finish up a paper for another class that was
due the next day. I had set a reminder on my phone for the meeting, but I must have
accidentally turned off my phone while I was working. I didn’t realize I had missed the
meeting until I looked at the clock and saw it was already 2:10pm.
I quickly packed up my things and rushed across campus to the business building. I
ended up getting to the classroom at 2:10pm and everyone was already there and had
started discussing without me. I could tell they were all a bit annoyed that I was late
and had held up the meeting. I apologized and tried to make excuses, but I knew

One activity I enjoyed in my free time when I was young was playing soccer at the
park with my friends. We would usually meet up at the park near my house on the

would split up into teams and play a full game. It was always a fun time, and we
would often invite other kids from the neighborhood to join in as well.
I loved playing with my friends because it was a great way to bond and build
friendships. We would always be joking around and having a good time while also
getting some exercise. Plus, I’ve always had a passion for soccer, so it was a great

roles in movies like “Deadpool” and “6 Underground”. He’s a pretty good-looking
guy, with dark hair and a charming smile. He’s also known for his quick wit and sense
of humor, which I think is really appealing.
As far as the types of movies he appears in, Ryan tends to do a mix of action and
comedy. “Deadpool” is a great example of this, as it’s a superhero movie with a lot of
jokes and sarcasm. He also did a great job in “6 Underground”, which is an action-
thriller. I think he’s really versatile and can handle a wide range of roles.
I admire Ryan Reynolds because he seems like a genuinely nice and down-to-earth
person. He’s active on social media, and he always comes across as someone who is
kind and humble. He’s also a dedicated father and husband, which is something that I

for her roles in movies like “Roman Holiday” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. She had a
very classic and elegant look, with her short, dark hair and her big, beautiful eyes. She
was also known for her grace and poise, which I think is really admirable.
As far as the types of movies she appeared in, Audrey tended to do a mix of dramas

comedy, and “Sabrina” which is a romantic comedy-drama. She was also in “My Fair
Lady” which is a musical film. I think she’s really versatile and can handle a wide range of roles.
I admire Audrey Hepburn because she was a true class act. She was beautiful and
elegant, but she was also a very talented actress who could do both comedic and
dramatic roles. She was also known for her philanthropic work, particularly with
UNICEF, which is an organization that provides humanitarian aid to children in need

Describe an advertisement you don’t like You should say: ¥

And explain why you don’t like it
Câu trả lời mẫu:
I saw this advertisement for a weight loss supplement on my Instagram feed a few
months ago. It was a sponsored post, so it was clearly an advertisement, but it was
also in the form of a “before and after” transformation picture. The product being
advertised was a weight loss pill, and the before and after pictures were supposed to
be the same person, but the “before” picture was clearly just a picture of a heavier
person, and the “after” picture was a picture of a thinner person.
I don’t like this advertisement because it promotes a really unhealthy and unrealistic
idea of weight loss. It implies that you can just take a pill and lose weight without any
effort or change in lifestyle. It also implies that the only way to be happy and
successful is to be thin, which is not true at all. Additionally, the use of the “before
and after” pictures is misleading, as it’s not clear if the weight loss shown in the
pictures is even due to the product being advertised. Overall, I think it’s a really
irresponsible and harmful advertisement. Part 3:

One noisy place I’ve been to is Times Square in New York City. I went there last

Câu trả lời mẫu:
One thing that made me feel really proud was when I took on a leadership role in a
student organization on campus. I had always been a member of the group, but I
decided to run for the position of President. It was a big step for me because I had
never been a leader before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to handle the
responsibility. But I decided to go for it anyway.
The election process was pretty intense. I had to give speeches and campaign to the
other members of the organization. It was definitely nerve-wracking, but I tried to
stay focused and remember why I wanted to run in the first place. I also made sure to
listen to the concerns and ideas of the other members, and I think that really helped me connect with them.
In the end, I won the election and I was really excited to start working as the
President. There were definitely some challenges that came with the position, like
coordinating events and managing the budget. But I was determined to make the
organization the best it could be, so I worked really hard to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Overall, I felt really proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and taking
on this leadership role. It was definitely a learning experience, but I feel like I grew a
lot as a person and I’m really proud of what we were able to accomplish as a group. Part 3:

Câu trả lời mẫu:
My favorite place in my house to relax would probably be my bedroom. It’s located
on the second floor, and it’s where I spend most of my time when I’m not out and about.
The room itself is pretty simple, but I’ve decorated it with some of my favorite things
to make it feel cozy and comfortable. I have a big comfy bed, a couple of posters on
the walls, and a desk where I can work on my assignments.
When I’m in my room, I like to just lay in bed and read or watch TV. I find it really
relaxing to be in a comfortable environment where I can just unwind and not have to
worry about anything else. Sometimes I’ll play some music or listen to an audiobook to help me relax even more.
I think what makes my bedroom such a great place to relax is the fact that it’s a
private space that’s just mine. I can decorate it however I want, and I don’t have to
worry about anyone else being there to disturb me. It’s a place where I can truly be myself and feel at ease. Part 3:

I got my new laptop about a month ago, primarily to use for school and work
purposes. I was really excited to get it because I had been using an older model for
quite some time and it was starting to slow down and have issues. I was looking
forward to having a newer and faster computer to help me with my assignments and projects.
I use the laptop pretty often, at least a few hours a day. But, I have to admit that I
find the touchpad to be quite difficult to use. It’s not that it’s not responsive or
anything, it’s just that the sensitivity is a bit different than what I’m used to and it
takes some getting used to. Sometimes it’s hard to navigate the cursor where I want
it to go and I find myself having to use an external mouse instead.
Another issue I have with the touchpad is the buttons. They are pretty hard to press

It’s not a huge issue, but it’s definitely something that I find frustrating.
Overall, I am satisfied with my laptop’s performance. It’s much faster than my old one

Recently, I was shopping in a store for a new pair of jeans. I had been looking for a
new pair for a while and I was excited to finally find a pair that I really liked. They
were my favorite brand and on sale, so I decided to buy them.
However, when I got home and tried them on, I realized that they were too big. I was
really disappointed because I had been looking forward to wearing them and I had
already gotten rid of my old jeans.
I knew I had to go back to the store to exchange them but it was a hassle. I had to
find time to go back and it was a bit of a drive to the store, and I was also worried
that they may not have my size in stock.
When I got to the store and found out that they did have my size, I was relieved, but
then I found out that the sale was over, so I couldn’t get the same deal on the smaller size.

Well, something that comes to mind is a group project I did in my marketing class last
semester. We had to come up with a marketing plan for a local business and present
it to the class. So, the thing I had to share was our group’s marketing plan for this business.
I shared it with my group members and the whole class, which consisted of around 25
students. The reason we had to share it was because it was a big part of our grade for
the class and it was also an opportunity for our classmates and professor to give us feedback and suggestions.
To be honest, I was pretty nervous about presenting. I was worried that our plan
wasn’t good enough or that we’d forget something important. But as we got into the
presentation and started getting questions, I realized that we had put a lot of
thought and effort into our plan and it felt really good to share it with others and get
their input. Overall, it was a really valuable experience and I’m glad we did it. Part 3:

Describe an object that you think is beautiful You should say: ¥ What it is ¥ Where you saw it ¥ What it looks like ¥
And explain why you think it is beautiful
Câu trả lời mẫu:
One object that I think is beautiful is a painting that I saw at the Museum of Modern
Art in New York City. It’s called “Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh. It’s an oil painting
on canvas and it depicts a swirling night sky over a small village. The sky is filled with
swirling clouds and stars, and the village is lit up by a bright crescent moon.
What I find so beautiful about this painting is the way van Gogh captured the
movement and energy of the night sky. The swirling clouds and stars feel like they’re
alive and in motion. The contrasting colors of the blues and yellows also add to the
dynamic feel of the piece. Additionally, the way the light of the moon reflects off the
village and the surrounding landscape is mesmerizing. Overall, I think “Starry Night”
is a masterpiece that perfectly captures the beauty and wonder of the night sky. Part 3: Do you think there are

The Rose Bowl is a historic stadium that’s been around for over a century, and it’s
located in a really nice area of Pasadena. It’s known for being the host of the Rose
Bowl Game, which is one of the biggest college football bowl games in the country.
But it’s also used for other events like concerts and festivals.
I went there with a group of friends to see a football game. I’m not even a huge
football fan, but the atmosphere was so electric and the energy of the crowd was
contagious. I had so much fun tailgating before the game and cheering for the team
with everyone else. The stadium itself is really impressive too, it’s huge and has a lot of history and character.
Overall, I had a great time at the Rose Bowl. It’s definitely a place that I would
recommend to anyone visiting Pasadena, whether you’re a sports fan or not. The
atmosphere and energy are just something else. I felt like I was part of something big,
and that’s something that I will always remember. Part 3:

I had a disagreement with my roommate about cleaning the apartment. They felt like
I wasn’t pulling my weight and that I wasn’t cleaning up after myself as much as I
should. I felt like I was doing my fair share and that they were being overly critical.
The disagreement started when they confronted me about some dirty dishes that
had been sitting in the sink for a few days. I explained that I had been really busy with
classes and studying, and that I would get to them as soon as I had some free time.
They didn’t seem satisfied with that answer and things escalated from there.
During the disagreement, we both raised our voices and said some things that we
probably shouldn’t have. I felt like they were being really unfair and not
understanding of my situation, and they felt like I was being irresponsible and not considering their feelings.

I remember last semester, I was really wanting to buy this new gaming laptop that
had just come out. I had been saving up for it for a while and had enough money to
buy it, but I decided to wait.
I waited for about a month before I finally ended up buying it. The reason I made the
decision to wait was because I had heard that there were some bugs with the initial
release and that a new version was going to come out soon with those bugs fixed. I
didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something that might have problems, so I
decided to wait and see if the new version was going to be worth it.
At first, I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t buy the laptop right away, but as the
release date of the new version got closer, I started to feel more and more excited
about it. When I finally bought the laptop, I felt really happy with my decision to wait

One of my closest friends from childhood is named Samantha. We met in the second
grade at elementary school and have been friends ever since. I remember the first
day of school, I was so nervous and scared, but when I saw her, I felt a sense of
comfort and familiarity. We were both new to the school and bonded over our shared
nervousness. We sat next to each other in class and quickly became best friends.
Samantha and I would often spend our afternoons and weekends together. We loved
going to the park and playing on the playground, riding our bikes around the
neighborhood, and having sleepovers at each other’s houses. We also shared a love
for reading and would often swap books and discuss our latest favorites.
One of the things I liked most about Samantha was her kindness and empathy. She
always had a way of understanding how I was feeling and would always be there to
give me a hug or lend a listening ear when I needed it. She was also a great leader and
would often come up with fun and creative games for us to play.
Samantha and I have grown up and gone our separate ways but I will always cherish
the memories we made together. The friendship we built during childhood had a
profound impact on me and taught me the importance of kindness and empathy in a
friendship. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful friend like her in my childhood. Part 3:

So, there’s this guy named Tim who I met in one of my classes last semester. He’s a
senior and we were both in this entrepreneurship class together. He was always
talking about all these cool projects he had started and I was really impressed with how motivated he was.
One thing that really stood out to me was a project he did where he created a
sustainable clothing line using upcycled materials. It was so innovative and I had
never thought about doing something like that before.
After class one day, I asked him about it and he was more than happy to talk to me
about it. He told me about all the challenges he faced and how he had to learn so
much on the fly. It really inspired me to think outside the box and start my own project.

still a work in progress, but I’m really excited about it and I know I wouldn’t have
even considered it without Tim’s inspiration. He showed me that anything is possible
if you put your mind to it and I’m really grateful for that. Part 3: Updating …
