Tiếng anh cơ bản 2
Topic 1 Talk about your best friend
I have had a best friend since I was a kid. We were born and raised in the same
village. Because we are the same age our personalities match very well. Her
name is Huong, she is an introvert and smarter girl. She likes playing
badminton and cooking. She always helps me when I meet any problem. We
usually go out together to talk and we want to preserve the memory forever. I’ll
never forget the time we travel to Sun World Ha Long. We set off very early to
save time, when we went there, we were so happy because we got to play, talk,
and walking along the street together. In addition, we sometime go shopping to
buy some food and then cook them at one of our houses. I respect every moment
with her. This moment makes me happy improve my spirit and reduce the
stress. I’m so grateful to have her in my life.
Topic 2: What things make you happy in life
No one can define happiness and accurately identify the factors of happiness.
For me, happiness is a peaceful life filled with memories with family and
friends. Happiness does not necessarily come from big or complicated things
but rather from a felling of peace in the soul, undisturbed by life’s worries and
stress. Someone said: “If you have a peaceful life, you are very lucky”. Because
life is a challenge, we need work hard, study, learn about something that helps
us. Therefore sometimes we will face bad troubles and problems and we cannot
control our emotion, leading to us becoming more gloomy and negative.
Happiness comes from many factors such as peace, forgiveness and gratitude
for life. Grateful for the past, present and everything. Simple happiness is a
peace in the soul and daily life. When we learn to appreciate the small things,
accept reality and build meaningful relationships, we will find lasting joy and happiness in life.
Topic 3: A new story that interest you
Lately, I have been interested in stories related to the unemployment rate of
students after graduation. First, I’m studying accounting, and my major is very
easy to unemployed because humans are gradually being replaced by AI. lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
AI stands for artificial intelligence, and it is becoming more popular than other
platforms. It can do everything that people can’t. It can calculate, do homework
for us, answer any questions we ask, and even talk, deep talk with us. Today
people are becoming dependent on it, they rarely do anything by themselves.
That is why AI has become an indispensable tool and it is penetrating the
market, and different jobs, leading to jobs, jobs that were originally human
jobs, now being taken away by AI. For me, my profession is at risk of mass
layoffs, as basic computing tasks are handled by AI, we are just checkers or not
even. And that stories I want to send to you is to try to be the most perfect so as
not to be replaced by AI, and for a future that says no to unemployment.
Topic 4: Your favorite restaurant.
One of my favorite restaurants is Vinh Lam Buffet. It is located in Chuong My
district. The restaurant is simple and it has a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The menu of Vinh Lam buffet is very varied, it has pho, banh my, seafood, light
snacks, fruit, fried food, and all of Vietnamese dishes. My favorite dish is the
waffle because it is beautiful and the taste is delicious. I usually go to Vinh Lam
buffet on weekends, mostly with my family. The staff very nice and the service
is quick so we don’t have to wait long for our food. I like this restaurant because
food is always fresh and there are new dishes every day and price are very
reasonable and suitable for students like me. Every time I eat here I feel very comfortable.
Topic 5: What are your dreams for the future
In the future, my first dream is to try my best to complete my studies and obtain
my university degree. After graduation, I hope to get a job like my dream. This
is my biggest aspiration that I want to finish, because having a university degree
in hand, I believe that it will help me overcome many difficult works. A
university degree is like a strength, a weapon, and an important advantage. And
then, I hope my family is always happy, and healthy, have a lot of fun. I always
want to talk, play, eat, go out with them. My family is a part I can’t lack in my
heart, they help me reduce the stress, and improve my spirit, and they always
love me. Finally, in the future, I want to live in a house near the beach with my
parents. I like living near the sea because I love the sound of the waves, I like lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
watching the sea and especially I like watching the sunset, it looks so beautiful.
I don’t want to live in a big house, a medium house enough for me. I don’t like
living in a busy street, I hate noise, I love peace. This is my dream for the future.
Topic 6: Describe your hometown
I was born and raised in Ha Noi city, I live in the suburbs of the city, and it
takes quite a long time to get to the city center. My hometown is famous for the
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. It is the resting place of Vietnam’s leader, Ho Chi
Minh. People come here to pay respect and learn about his life, and Hoan Kiem
Lake- its name means the return of the sword, based on a historical legend. It
is considered the heart of Hanoi and my hometown has many famous scenic
spots. In Hanoi, you will enjoy many delicious dishes like Banh My, Bun Cha,
Pho, Com, …In addition, the weather here is also very nice, especially in
autumn. People in my hometown are very friendly, always loving and helping
each other. They greet each other with affectionate smiles, they are happy and
sociable. I loved my hometown, because I lived with my parents, friends, and
everybody in Hanoi, I love the hustle and bustle, the quiet, and the warmth that
my hometown brings. I’m grateful to be born in Hanoi.
Topic 7: A celebrity that you are interested in
I want to describe a girl who influenced me. That girl is Khanh Vy, she comes
to Nghe An city, she is the MC of the program ‘Road to Olympia’, a vlogger
with two million followers on her personal YouTube channel, a content creator
with 2.5 million followers on her TikTok account. The first time I met her when
she spoke nine languages, I was so impressed by her talent at this time. She
always tries and studies hard. What makes Khanh Vy stand out is her special
ability to turn the impossible into possible. She is a very talented MC with many
achievements. In addition, she is also a student with excellent academic
performance, I have never met her in person, I usually watch her show or vlog.
I want to meet her once and tell her “She has been my motivation all these years,
thank you Khanh Vy for appearing in my life”.
Topic 8: What factors contribute to an ideal family
An ideal family is where members love, care for, and respect each other. To
create an ideal family, there are several important factors but the main things lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
that create a perfect family are love and trust. When each member of the family
feels unconditional love, they will feel safe and appreciated. Trust and respect
are also very important. Mutual respect, whether for privacy or differing
opinions, creates a healthy environment for the family to grow. To have an ideal
family, the role of each family member is the most important. Parents should
teach their children and give them safety. Children need to learn how to treat
their parents well, be grateful, and love and care for them. To have an ideal
family, there must be different rules like chores and responsibilities, no
violence, obey with parents… This helps maintain routine, and give up bad
habits. If you have an ideal family, you are very lucky, no one can define an
ideal family, so an ideal family where lived and be yourself.
Topic 9: One of your favourite movies
I have a list of my favorite movies, but if I had to choose one of it, I would choose
Train to Busan. This is a film which I want to recommended for you, the movie
come from Korean- Land of Kimchi. The movie stars Gong Yoo and the little
girl Soo Ahn. The context of the movie is father and son Gong Yoo and Soo Ahn
trying to escape from patients infected with a strange virus. The movie left for
the audience a lot of emotions, from anxiety to fear, from joy to sadness, finally
tears. At the end of the movie, actor Gong Yoo and the little girl Soo Ahn
showed their excellent acting. When the father was unfortunately bitten, he
chose to leave the girl forever to protect his daughter. This is the best scene of
movie. I like this movie so much because the movie showed me about human
nature, when people fall into difficult situation, they put themselves first, they
ignore others. If you have free time, you should watch this movie once, it will not make you disappoint.
Topic 10: What are the pros and cons of social networking sites
Social networking sites have become an integral part of our daily lives, with
impacts on various fields like communication, work, and entertainment.
However, alongside their good benefits, social networking sites also present
many challenges and risks. First, some major pros of social networking sites are
connecting and communication, networking and career opportunities, access to
information and news, make friends, find out what you want, learn what you lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
want…Second, some main cons of social networking sites are privacy concerns,
cyberbullying and online harassment, addiction and time wasting, impact on
mental health, many diseases appear like overthinking, stress, anxiety disorder
,.. Maybe it's because we make ourselves sad, lock ourselves in our phones and
think about bad situations. Totally, social networking sites are double-edged
sword, it helps us searching everything, but it makes us not find a solution yourself.
Topic 11: An old friend you want to meet again
I have an old friend since I was studying at high school. Now I’m studying at
university, and I hope I can meet her again. We were born and raised in the
same village. Because we are the same age our personalities match very well.
Her name is Huong, she is an introverted and smart girl. She likes playing
badminton and cooking. She always helps me when I meet any problem. We
usually go out together to talk and we want to preserve the memory forever. I’ll
never forget the time we traveled to Sun World Ha Long. We set off very early
to save time, when we went there, we were so happy because we got to play,
talk, and walk along the street together. This is the best memory I have ever
had with her. I want to meet her again because she helped me so much and now
I want to thank her for what she did. I want to go shopping with her again and
walk in the river near my home. I wish I could meet her right now. Topic 12:
The best experience you’ve had in your life.
Last summer, my family went on vacation in Ha Long Bay. This is the best
experience I’ve had in my life. Ha Long Bay is a famous place in Vietnam. It is
located in the north, it is Vietnam’s largest coal mine, economic, and tourism
center. I went to Ha Long Bay with my family 3 months ago. I went there by
coach and I feel so satisfied and comfortable. When you come here, you can
follow the tour guide to visit Sung Sot cave and Cua Van fishing village. In the
evening, you can walk around the coast to explore Ha Long Beach. In addition,
you can try some famous local specialties here like yogurt, Ga Doi Tien Yen,
Roll Cake, Gat Gu Cake, wine, and types of seafood. You can continue to visit
Quang Ninh Fire Ground, Quang Ninh Museum, Dolphin Palace, and Bai Tho
Mountain the next day. Then you go back to the hotel to rest and eat a bit. After lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
relaxing, we pack up our luggage from the hotel and return to Hanoi City. This
was my best experience because I had time with my family, we talked about a
lot of things, we ate and played together. We respect every moment because it
will be difficult to have much time, so if you have free time, you should spend
that time with your family, it will be very meaningful.
Topic 13: Things you enjoy doing in your free time.
In my free time, I usually listen to music, watch TV, and clean my room. I love
chatting with people and learning new things. I like listening to R and B music.
If I had more free time, I imagine I'd be really into reading, writing, and
exploring cool topics like science, art, and technology. But, one of my favorite
things to do is sleep, sleep makes me better, forget bad things, and reduce
overthinking. Sometimes, I go out with my friends, and we also go shopping to
buy some food and then cook it at one of our houses. Lately, I often walking in
the park, riding to bicycle around my village, and spending a lot of time for my
part-time job. In addition, in my spare time, I enjoy creating stories and writing
the context of the movie. So, spare time is when we have the opportunity to
recharge our battery. It can be used to improve our social life or just simply for
us to unwind after long days of hard work.
Topic 14: What does your perfect day look like
A perfect day for me would start with a gentle sunrise, and wake up after deep
sleep early in the morning. Doing my soft exercises and listening to music. I will
spend most of the day searching the news, watching my favorite shows, and
doing what I like. I will also spend time with my family and people who love
and care about me and are honest, direct, and always supportive of me. I will
take advantage of opportunities to walk in the park, go out with friends, go to
the cinema, take photobooths, and enjoy delicious homemade meals, making it
truly special. As the day winds down, a breathtaking sunset and a cup of hot
cacao with a laptop would complete my perfect day.

Topic 16: Your updating news
Every day, I often update news from social networking sites such as VTV24,
Facebook, and TikTok. I do not like reading newspapers because it is too long,
and word is too small, so I like to watch short videos on the Internet. The types
of news I usually follow are economic news, weather, finance, unemployment
rates, and traffic. Nowadays, a lot of incorrect information is being given to
attract readers and viewers. Therefore, we need to choose the source of
information carefully. I’m caring about those kinds of news because they are
related the issues that need the most attention, such as the economic situation
of countries that are under threat the high unemployment rate of students after
graduation, and the current weather changes due to climate change. So instead
of watching negative videos, spend time reading world news.
Topic 17: What should we do to stay healthy
Nowadays, society is increasing development, besides that, many factors are
harmful to humans, and we need to learn how to live healthily to eliminate those
dangers. First, we need to eat a balanced diet, including a variety of fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and healthy fats. Drink plenty of water to
stay hydrated. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, fried foods. Second, we

have to sleep for 7-9 hours. In addition, you need to learn how to control stress. lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
We should practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or
mindfulness. Staying healthy is good for us because it helps us improve our
bodies, strengthen our mental health, love ourselves more, be happier, and be
full of energy. Finally, protect yourself best. Topic 18: Eating out
I’m a student, and I live with my parents. I’m studying at university now. So I

Topic 25 : Describe your last book you read.
I am going to talk about a book that l’ve read recently. It is a Vietnamese
coming-of-age novel called “Mắt Biếc”, which can be literally translated into
Vietnamese as “Blue Eyes”. The novel revolves around an unrequited love story
between Ngạn, a country boy, and Hà Lan, his neighbor, childhood friend and lifelong crush. lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
Ngạn and Hà Lan grow up together in a remote village in the Central region of
Vietnam. Ngạn develops a strong love, which later becomes obsession, towards
Hà Lan, the girl whose eyes he adores since the very first time they meet.
Although they spend their childhood and adolescence together, they later lead
a very different life during their adulthood.
While Ngạn still cherishes the slow-paced life of his village, Hà Lan fails to resist
the allure and glamour of the city life. She ends up falling in love with a playboy
named Dũng, has a baby with him and leaves the child under the protection of
her grandmom and, guess what, his lifelong crush Ngạn. Ngạn raises her
daughter like his own child just to realise at the end of the story that he is just
trying to create another version of his beloved Hà Lan.

depiction of the 1990’s Vietnamese life is just brilliant. The movie adapted from
the book is going to be released this December.
Topic 26 : What story can you remember from your childhood
My childhood is exciting. It was full of memories, I always feel happy when I
remember those memories. But there is one time that I remember forever. In
the summer of 2015, my family went on vacation in Ha Long Bay. This is the
best experience I’ve had in my childhood. Ha Long Bay is a famous place in
Vietnam. It is located in the north, it is Vietnam’s largest coal mine, economic,
and tourism center. I went to Ha Long Bay with my family 3 months ago. I went
there by coach and I feel so satisfied and comfortable. When you come here,
you can follow the tour guide to visit Sung Sot cave and Cua Van fishing village.
In the evening, you can walk around the coast to explore Ha Long Beach. In
addition, you can try some famous local specialties here like yogurt, Ga Doi
Tien Yen, Roll Cake, Gat Gu Cake, wine, and types of seafood. You can
continue to visit Quang Ninh Fire Ground, Quang Ninh Museum, Dolphin
Palace, and Bai Tho Mountain the next day. Then you go back to the hotel to
rest and eat a bit. After relaxing, we pack up our luggage from the hotel and
return to Hanoi City. This was my best childhood because I explored many new lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
things with my family. I came to a new city, new places, and enjoyed many
delicious dishes,... I feel so excited, I wish I could come here once in the future.
Topic 27: You use of mobile phones
I’m a Gen Z person, so I had access to the internet and used mobile phones very
early. I use a mobile phone every day. Every morning, the first thing I do is take
my phone and watch short videos on Facebook, so I usually use my mobile
phone continuously until the battery runs out. I will use my mobile phone to
study, work, listen to music, watch movies, and entertain. At different times I
will use my mobile phone for other purposes. My favorite app is TikTok, which
not only helps me relax but also helps me update my life, and entertainment
after a long day. For me, my mobile phone is important, because it helps me
with searching, communication and connectivity, entertainment, learning and
working tools, and photography, … In short, we should consider every time we
use the phone, set usage time, and should view useful information.
Topic 28: The most important invention.
The most important invention is invented the incandescent lamp. It was
invented by Thomas Edison in 1879. This invention marked a pivotal moment
in human civilization. Incandescent lamps changed people's lives. Electric lights
help provide light to people quickly. With stable light and relatively cheap
price. There are many different types of electric lights. With the design of the
design and the diverse light colors, many people are not afraid to spend large
sums of money owning beautiful lights. It helped people light up their homes
at a cheap and stable price, it changed completely people’s life. Thanks to
electric lights, we could work and study at night, leading to rapid increases in
productivity and knowledge. Since the world had incandescent lights,
everything changed, everything became brighter. As long as there is light, we
still have hope, but if the world loses light, then hope also disappears.
Topic 29: Your learning English
I started learning English when I was in high school. English was my favorite
subject, it was quite interesting and attractive. After graduating from high
school, I stopped learning English for 2 years, I wanted to rest a bit after the lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
exams. Until I was in my second year of university I started learning English
again. For me, studying English is a long progress so we need to study hard and
practice frequently. We should learn about ways of pronouncing, vocabulary,
and verb forms... I don't have a specific way to learn English, but I think each
of us will find our method when we start. When we have our ways, we will learn
better. So if you learn English well, you will have many opportunities, you can
communicate with other people in other countries, access many different
cultures and easily achieve success. Don't think English is difficult, try to learn
to see if it is really difficult.
Topic 30 : What are your plans after graduation
