SPEAKING PART 2
1. Go to a prom. Who are you going with?
- Darling (No: I do not want people TO know that I have a boyfriend)
- Best friend (Yes: it’s fun, I could chat with her so we would have a good time together) - Alone (No: it’s boring)
2. Organize a ten-year high school class reunion.
● Visit old school & teachers (my old school is very far from here. I can’t go back to my old school for 1
or 2 days because I am busy studying/working. I will visit my old teachers during Tet holidays)
● Organize a party (Best choice: Most of my old friends live in Hochiminh city so we just need to
arrange the time, book a restaurant and meet one another/each other)
● Hold a one-day trip (It is very hard for people to go on the trip together since they have different schedules)
3. Make a presentation on a new product
● Powerpoint slides (not convenient, need equipment such as laptop, projector)
● a poster (too simple, can not provide a lot of information about the products, easy to forget)
● a video (interesting, people will remember well, we can send the video to customers for further
information if they are interested)
● My situation is to make a presentation on a new product, and in my opinion, a video is the
best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, a video is more engaging and interesting
compared to PowerPoint slides. It captures people's attention and keeps them interested
throughout the presentation. Secondly, a video allows for a better visualization of the product.
It can showcase the product's features, benefits, and how it works in a dynamic and
compelling way. For example, we can include product demonstrations, customer testimonials,
and visually appealing graphics to convey the product's value effectively.
● On the other hand, I would not choose PowerPoint slides because they require equipment
such as a laptop and projector, which might not always be convenient or available.
Additionally, slides can be too text-heavy and may not leave a lasting impression on the
audience. Similarly, a poster is not a suitable option as it lacks the ability to provide detailed
information about the product. It is simple and easily forgotten, limiting its effectiveness in
conveying the product's message.
● In contrast, a video has the advantage of being memorable. People tend to remember visual
content better, and a well-crafted video can leave a lasting impression on viewers. Moreover,
we can send the video to customers for further information if they are interested, allowing
them to revisit and share the content with others.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a video due to the above reasons. It
provides an engaging and informative medium to present the new product, ensuring that the
audience is captivated and remembers the key information effectively.
4. Organize an activity to raise money to help poor students.
● A school concert (not practical because not many people can join)
● a second- hand market (not convenient because we need to book a place/stand and prepare products/items to sell)
● A marathon (a lot of people can join, good for people to exercise and keep fit)
● My situation is to organize an activity to raise money to help poor students, and in my
opinion, a marathon is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, a marathon
allows a lot of people to join, maximizing the potential for fundraising. It attracts participants
from various backgrounds, including students, teachers, parents, and community members,
ensuring a broad reach and increasing the chances of collecting substantial donations.
● Secondly, organizing a marathon promotes community engagement and physical fitness
simultaneously. Participants not only contribute to a noble cause but also engage in a healthy
and active pursuit. This aspect of the event appeals to a wide range of individuals,
encouraging them to support the initiative and participate actively.
● For example, a marathon can be publicized through social media platforms, local community
announcements, and collaboration with other organizations. These efforts can generate
widespread interest and encourage people to register for the event, further enhancing the fundraising potential.
● On the other hand, a school concert may not be practical as it limits the number of people who
can attend. The audience size may be restricted to the capacity of the school's auditorium,
reducing the overall fundraising impact. Similarly, a second-hand market requires the
booking of a place, stand preparation, and gathering items to sell, making it less convenient
and potentially limiting the participation and fundraising potential.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a marathon due to the above reasons. It
allows for a large number of participants, promotes community engagement and physical
fitness, and has the potential to generate significant funds for helping poor students.
5. A foreign friend is planning to visit your country and wondering about the best time to go there.
● Spring (the weather is nice, many activities and festivals around the country
● Autumn (it often rains a lot in summer, it’s not good for traveling)
● Summer (it’s very hot and it’s a high season in Vietnam and services become very expensive)
● My situation is that a foreign friend is planning to visit my country and wondering about the
best time to go there. In my opinion, spring is the best option because of the following
reasons. Firstly, the weather during spring is pleasant, with mild temperatures and a
comfortable atmosphere, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploration. Additionally,
spring in my country is marked by numerous festivals and events, offering visitors a rich
cultural experience and a chance to immerse themselves in the local traditions and customs.
● On the other hand, I would not recommend summer as the best time to visit. It tends to be
very hot, which can make traveling uncomfortable, particularly for individuals not
accustomed to high temperatures. Moreover, summer is considered a high season in Vietnam,
resulting in increased prices for accommodations, transportation, and other services, which
may not be ideal for budget-conscious travelers.
● Similarly, autumn may not be the ideal time to visit due to frequent rainfall. While autumn can
still offer pleasant weather and beautiful scenery, the presence of rain can affect outdoor
activities and limit the overall experience for travelers.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would recommend spring as the best time to visit my
country due to its favorable weather, abundance of activities and festivals, and the
opportunity to enjoy the vibrant cultural atmosphere.
6. Your volunteer group is organizing a trip to help children in remote areas. What is the best present?
● Books (very heavy to carry, not convenient to transport them to remote areas)
● Clothes (we will not know their size and kinds of clothes they want)
● Money (easy to carry, their parents will buy things they need)
● My situation is that my volunteer group is organizing a trip to help children in remote areas, and
in my opinion, money is the best option as a present for the following reasons. Firstly, money is
easy to carry and transport to remote areas, eliminating the logistical challenges and weight
associated with carrying heavy items like books. It ensures that the resources reach the intended recipients efficiently.
● Secondly, giving money allows the children and their parents to have the freedom to choose what
they need the most. We may not know the specific sizes or kinds of clothes the children want,
which could result in mismatched or unused items. Money empowers them to buy clothing or
other essentials according to their preferences and immediate needs.
● For example, the money can be used to purchase school supplies, nutritious food, or medical
supplies, depending on the specific requirements of the children and their families. It provides
flexibility and addresses their most pressing needs effectively.
● On the other hand, books, although valuable, can be cumbersome to transport to remote areas.
The weight and bulkiness of books may make it impractical to carry them during the trip.
Similarly, clothes present challenges as we may not know the children's sizes or their preferred
styles, which could result in inappropriate or unused garments.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose money as the best present due to its ease of
transport, flexibility for the recipients to address their specific needs, and the empowerment it
provides to children and their families in remote areas.
7. What will you do in a three-month summer holiday?
● Take a long course - I want to relax and do something fun, I don’t want to study during the summer
● doing some volunteer work (it’s fun and good to help other people, I have some experience such as
teaching and building houses and roads
● Traveling (for 3 months is too much, I do not have money or saving to do that)
● My situation is deciding what to do during a three-month summer holiday, and in my opinion,
doing some volunteer work is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, it provides
a sense of fulfillment and allows me to contribute to society while engaging in activities I enjoy. I
have previous experience in some local charity works, which makes volunteering become a
meaningful and rewarding choice.
● Secondly, volunteering is not only fun but also a way to help others in need. It allows me to make a
positive impact on the lives of others and bring about positive change in the community. This
experience can also broaden my perspective, enhance my skills, and develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion.
● For example, I could volunteer at local schools or community centers, offering my teaching skills
and helping children or adults with their education. Alternatively, I could participate in
construction projects, assisting in building houses or repairing roads for disadvantaged
communities. These activities not only benefit others but also provide me with personal growth and a sense of purpose.
● On the other hand, taking a long course during the summer may not be ideal as I want to relax and
have fun during this break. It would be an opportunity to recharge my battery and engage in
activities outside of the academic realm.
● Similarly, traveling for three months may not be feasible due to financial constraints. It requires a
substantial amount of money, which I may not have or have saved up for such an extended period of travel.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to do some volunteer work during the three-
month summer holiday due to its enjoyable nature, the opportunity to help others, and my
previous experience in teaching and construction. It allows me to make a positive impact, grow
personally, and contribute to the community while still having a fulfilling and meaningful summer break.
8. Choosing a Primary school for your children
1. School with highly focus on personality development
(Best choice because young children need to develop their personality and characters during this
time. The role of primary education is to ensure broad based learning of the child. This includes
development of social, cognitive, emotional and physical skills.
2. School with highly focus on academic development (children at this age do not need to learn a lot
of knowledge, teaching young children’s necessary skills is more important than giving them a lot of knowledge)
3. School with relaxing atmosphere (not good because children need to learn and play at the same
time, if children only play at school and study a little, this is not good for their overall development)
My situation is choosing a primary school for my children, and in my opinion, a school with a high focus
on personality development is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, young children
need to develop their personality and character during this critical time. Primary education plays a
crucial role in ensuring a broad-based learning experience for children, including the development of
social, cognitive, emotional, and physical skills.
Secondly, a school that emphasizes personality development understands that at this age, children do not
need to acquire a vast amount of knowledge. Instead, it prioritizes teaching essential skills that lay the
foundation for their overall development.
For example, such a school may emphasize social interaction, communication skills, problem-solving
abilities, creativity, and critical thinking. These skills are essential for their future academic and personal success.
On the other hand, I would not choose a school with a highly focused on academic development as the
primary focus for young children. This may place them under the huge pressure when they have to
acquire a wide range of academic knowledge in this formative age.
Similarly, a school with a relaxing atmosphere may not be ideal as children need a balance between
learning and playing. If they only engage in play without adequate learning opportunities, it may hinder
their overall development and academic progress.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a primary school with a high focus on personality
development due to the importance of nurturing children's character, social skills, and overall growth
during this crucial stage. This approach ensures a well-rounded education and sets a strong foundation for their future success.
9. Your sister is spoken ill on facebook
● Deactivate facebook account (it’s not good, she should keep her account active because she can update what’s on Facebook)
● talk to the teacher (this is a personal matter, so the teacher is not responsible for that)
● talk to your friend (this is the best option because she needs to know why she is spoken ill on Facebook.
● My situation is that my sister is being spoken ill of on Facebook, and in my opinion, talking to
my friend is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, it is essential for my
sister to understand why she is being spoken ill of on Facebook. By discussing the matter with
a friend, she can gather more information about the situation and gain insights into the
possible reasons behind the negative comments.
● Secondly, talking to a friend provides a supportive and understanding environment. Friends
can offer advice, empathy, and reassurance, helping my sister navigate through the emotional
impact of the situation. They can also provide a fresh perspective and help her decide on the appropriate course of action.
● For example, a friend may have noticed or heard something relevant to the negative
comments, such as a misunderstanding, jealousy, or a personal issue. Their insights can shed
light on the situation and guide my sister in addressing the matter effectively.
● On the other hand, deactivating the Facebook account may not be a good choice. Keeping the
account active allows my sister to stay connected with others and share updates about her
life. Deactivating the account could isolate her from her social circle and limit her ability to
engage with others on the platform.
● Talking to the teacher may not be the most appropriate option in this case, as the issue
primarily concerns personal interactions on social media rather than a school-related matter.
It is more suitable for my sister to address the situation privately with her friends.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to talk to my friend due to the reasons
mentioned above. It allows my sister to gather information, receive support, and understand
the reasons behind the negative comments on Facebook. This approach enables her to make
informed decisions on how to handle the situation while maintaining an active and connected presence on the platform. 10. Cheating on exam
● subtract 50% (cheating is a crime so it’s not right and it’s not fair if he/she is subtracted 50% of the
marks, he/she should be punished for cheating.
● delete test paper (the best option because he/she cheats so the paper should be given a zero. This is
part of the school’s regulation.
● prohibition (I think this is a heavy punishment for only 1 time cheating)
● My situation is dealing with cheating on an exam, and in my opinion, deleting the test paper
and giving a zero is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, cheating is a
violation of academic integrity and goes against the principles of fairness and honesty. By
deleting the test paper and giving a zero, it enforces the consequences of such behavior and
upholds the school's regulations.
● Secondly, this approach sends a clear message that cheating is not acceptable and will not be
tolerated. It establishes a deterrent for future instances of cheating and promotes a culture of
academic integrity within the school community.
● For example, by deleting the test paper and giving a zero, it ensures that the student does not
benefit from their dishonest actions. It holds them accountable for their behavior and sends a
strong signal that cheating has serious consequences.
● On the other hand, subtracting 50% of the marks may not be an appropriate choice. Cheating
is a serious offense, and a mere reduction in marks may not adequately address the issue or
discourage further cheating. A more substantial punishment is necessary to maintain the
integrity of the education system.
● Similarly, imposing a prohibition as a punishment may be too severe for a first-time offense. It
is essential to consider an appropriate consequence that allows the student to learn from
their mistake and correct their behavior.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to delete the test paper and give a zero as
the appropriate consequence for cheating. This approach upholds academic integrity, sends a
strong message against cheating, and ensures that the student does not benefit from their dishonest actions.
11. Choose primary school for your children
academic school, relaxing atmosphere, good facilities.
My situation is choosing a primary school for my children, and in my opinion, an academic school is the
best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, an academic-focused school prioritizes the
development of strong foundational knowledge and essential skills, which are crucial for future academic
success. It provides a proper curriculum and effective teaching methods to ensure that students receive a quality education.
Secondly, such a school emphasizes intellectual growth, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. It
equips children with the necessary skills to excel academically and prepares them for higher levels of education.
For example, an academic school may offer a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, sciences,
languages, and humanities. It may also provide additional resources such as libraries, laboratories, and
educational technologies to enhance the learning experience.
On the other hand, a relaxing atmosphere alone may not be sufficient in preparing children for academic
challenges. While it is important for children to feel comfortable and enjoy their learning environment,
an excessive focus on relaxation may undermine the necessary academic rigor and discipline required for their educational journey.
Similarly, good facilities, although important, should not be the sole determining factor in choosing a
primary school. While modern and well-equipped facilities contribute to a conductive learning
environment, the quality of education and the school's academic focus should take precedence.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose an academic school for my children due to its
emphasis on intellectual development, strong foundational knowledge, and effective teaching methods.
While a relaxing atmosphere and good facilities are beneficial, they should complement and support the
school's academic focus rather than overshadow it.
12. Your sister’s class allows her to choose her seat and she is not shortsighted. There are three options for her to choose.
● A front seat (are for short sighted students so my sister should not sit there)
● A middle seat (good for other students who are shorter than my sister
● A back seat. (the best choice, my sister is tall not short sighted, she still can see the board when she sits in the back)
● My situation is that my sister has the freedom to choose her seat in class, and in my opinion,
the back seat is the best option for her because of the following reasons. Firstly, the front seat
is typically reserved for short-sighted students, and since my sister does not have any visual
impairment, it would not be appropriate for her to sit there.
● Secondly, the middle seat may be suitable for students who are shorter in height, but
considering my sister's taller stature, the back seat would provide her with a better view of
the board and the teacher's instructions.
● For example, sitting in the back allows my sister to have an unobstructed line of sight to the
front of the classroom, enabling her to see and comprehend the lesson materials effectively. It
also minimizes distractions that may occur closer to the front.
● On the other hand, choosing a front seat when not necessary for visual reasons may limit my
sister's overall view and interaction with the rest of the class. It is important for her to have a
comfortable seating position that allows her to actively participate and engage with her peers.
● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would advise my sister to choose the back seat. It offers
her a clear view of the board, eliminates unnecessary distractions, and accommodates her
taller stature. Considering her lack of visual impairment and the benefits mentioned above,
the back seat is the most suitable choice for her in this scenario.
13. Summer camp (the best choice, have fun with friends, travel to a new place, there are many
activities for students to enjoy themselves)
live with grandpa ( get bored because no friends to play with, grandpa may not know how to entertain the children)
military training course (too expensive, children have to stay far from parents/family )
My situation is deciding on summer activities for children, and in my opinion, a summer camp is the best
option because of the following reasons. Firstly, it provides an opportunity for children to have fun with
their friends and engage in various activities that promote their social and personal development. They
can enjoy themselves while building new friendships and creating lasting memories.
Secondly, a summer camp offers the chance to travel to a new place, adding excitement and adventure to
the experience. Exploring unfamiliar environments, cultures, and landscapes can broaden children's
horizons and foster their personal growth.
For example, summer camps offer a wide range of activities that cater to different interests and
preferences. From sports and arts to team-building exercises and outdoor adventures, there is something
for everyone to enjoy and actively participate in.
On the other hand, living with a grandparent may not be as stimulating for children as a summer camp.
They may get bored without friends to play with, and their grandparent may not possess the knowledge
or resources to entertain them adequately.
Similarly, enrolling children in a military training course can be prohibitively expensive, and the
separation from parents and family can be emotionally challenging.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a summer camp for children due to the reasons
mentioned above. It offers the opportunity to have fun with friends, travel to new places, and engage in
various enjoyable activities. While living with a grandparent or attending a military training course may
have their merits, a summer camp provides a more comprehensive and enriching experience for children during the summer break. 14. Get news newspaper, online, radio
My situation is finding the best way to get news, and in my opinion, accessing news online is the best
option because of the following reasons. Firstly, online news platforms provide instant access to the
latest updates and breaking news from around the world. With just a few clicks, we can stay informed
about current events and developments in real-time.
Secondly, online news offers a wide range of sources and perspectives. We can explore multiple news
websites, read articles, watch videos, and listen to podcasts from various reputable sources. This
diversity allows us to form a well-rounded understanding of different viewpoints on important issues.
For example, online news platforms often provide interactive features such as comment sections and
social media sharing, enabling us to engage in discussions and share our own opinions with a global
audience. This fosters a sense of community and encourages active participation in shaping public discourse.
On the other hand, relying solely on newspapers for news updates may result in delayed information, as
newspapers are published at specific intervals and may not cover the most recent events comprehensively.
Similarly, while radio broadcasts offer live news updates and analysis, they lack the visual component
that online news provides, such as images, videos, and infographics, which can enhance our
understanding of complex topics.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose accessing news online due to its immediacy, diverse
sources, and interactive features. While newspapers and radio broadcasts have their merits, online news
offers a more dynamic and comprehensive news experience in today's digital age. Choice: Online Reasons for choosing online:
1. Accessibility: Online news provides instant access to a wide range of sources from anywhere with an
internet connection, making it convenient for staying informed.
2. Timeliness: Online platforms offer real-time updates, breaking news alerts, and live streaming
options, ensuring the latest information is readily available.
3. Variety and customization: Online news allows access to diverse sources and the ability to
personalize news feeds based on individual interests.
4. Multimedia content: Online platforms incorporate multimedia elements like images and videos,
enhancing the news consumption experience.
5. Social interaction: Online news encourages sharing, discussion, and engagement through comments,
social media, and forums, enabling interaction with others.
Reasons for not choosing newspaper or radio: Newspaper:
1. Limited timeliness: Newspapers are printed on a fixed schedule and may not provide the most current news.
2. Lack of interactivity: Newspapers do not offer the same level of interactivity and engagement as online platforms. Radio:
1. Limited access: Radio requires access to a specific station and may not offer the same breadth of
news coverage as online sources.
2. Lack of visual content: Radio lacks visual elements, such as images or videos, which can provide
additional context to news stories. 15. Graduate thesis
online, library, journals Choice: Journals
Reasons for choosing journals for a graduate thesis:
1. Academic Credibility: Journals are a reputable and reliable source for scholarly research. They
undergo a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring the quality and validity of the information.
2. Specialized Knowledge: Journals often focus on specific disciplines or fields, providing in-depth and
specialized information that is crucial for a graduate thesis.
3. Current Research: Journals publish the latest research findings, allowing researchers to stay updated
with the most recent advancements in their field of study.
4. Citations and References: Journals provide extensive bibliographic information, including references
and citations, which are essential for supporting and grounding a graduate thesis in existing research.
5. Scholarly Network: Publishing in reputable journals can help researchers establish connections with
other experts in their field, leading to potential collaborations and future research opportunities.
Reasons for not choosing online or library sources: Online Sources:
1. Variable Credibility: While online sources can be valuable for gathering information, it is important
to critically evaluate their credibility, as not all online sources undergo the same level of scrutiny and peer-review as journals.
2. Lack of Specialization: Online sources may not always provide the same level of depth and
specialization as journals, which are specifically tailored to academic research. Library Sources:
1. Limited Access: Library sources may have limitations in terms of availability, especially if they are rare or restricted materials.
2. Outdated Information: Some library sources may contain outdated information, as they might not
include the most recent research and advancements in the field.
Note: It is important to consult with academic advisors or the specific requirements of the graduate
program to determine the preferred sources for the thesis.
My situation is writing a graduate thesis, and in my opinion, choosing journals as a source is the best
option because of the following reasons. Firstly, journals have academic credibility as they undergo a
rigorous peer-review process, ensuring the quality and validity of the research published. This credibility
is essential for maintaining the scholarly integrity of a graduate thesis.
Secondly, journals often focus on specific disciplines or fields, providing specialized knowledge that is
crucial for a graduate thesis. They offer in-depth information and analysis that goes beyond what can be
found in general online or library sources.
Thirdly, journals publish the latest research findings, allowing researchers to stay updated with the most
recent advancements in their field of study. This is especially important for a graduate thesis as it
demonstrates the researcher's knowledge of current research trends and their ability to contribute to the field.
Furthermore, journals provide extensive bibliographic information, including references and citations,
which are essential for supporting and grounding a graduate thesis in existing research. These citations
help establish the credibility and validity of the thesis by connecting it to established scholarly works.
Lastly, publishing in reputable journals can help researchers establish connections within their scholarly
network. This opens up opportunities for collaborations and future research prospects, enhancing the
researcher's academic and professional development.

evaluate their reliability. Additionally, they may not provide the same level of specialization and in-depth
analysis as journals. Similarly, library sources may have limited access to rare or restricted materials, and
they may not always include the most recent research and advancements in the field.
In conclusion, for a graduate thesis, choosing journals as a source offers academic credibility, specialized
knowledge, access to current research, extensive references and citations, and the opportunity to connect
with experts in the field. It is important to consult with academic advisors or the specific requirements of
the graduate program to determine the preferred sources for the thesis.
17. You have to raise money. Three places are suggested: school/individual/ company. What is the best choice?
The best choice to raise money is at the company for the following reasons. Firstly, a company is a big
organization which often sets aside some funding for charity. It’s easier to ask the managers to give away
money to help poor people. Secondly, employees in the company are working adults with salaries, so I think they will support our plan.
I would not choose to raise money at school because students don’t have money and teachers are often
not rich enough to help other people.
Finally, asking individuals to support our plan is not a good choice either because they do not know us
so they would not be willing to give money.
To sum up, raising money in the company is the best choice.
In my situation of needing to raise money, I believe the best choice is to approach companies for
fundraising. This choice is the best option because of the following reasons.
Firstly, companies have the potential to provide larger financial contributions compared to individuals or
relying solely on the school's resources. Their established budgets and corporate social responsibility
initiatives allow for more significant financial support, which can help achieve the fundraising goal more effectively.
Secondly, partnering with companies for fundraising can provide additional benefits beyond monetary
contributions. Companies can offer in-kind donations, such as products or services, which can be used for
fundraising events or auctions. Their involvement can also help raise awareness about the fundraising
campaign to a wider audience through their marketing and promotional efforts.
For example, a company may sponsor a fundraising event and leverage its network and resources to
attract more participants and potential donors, thereby increasing the chances of fundraising success.
On the other hand, relying solely on individuals for fundraising may limit the overall amount of funds
raised. While individuals can contribute, their financial capacity might be more limited compared to
companies. Moreover, depending solely on the school's resources may not be sufficient to meet the
fundraising goal, as schools often have limited budgets and resources.
In conclusion, if I were in a situation where I needed to raise money, I would choose to approach
companies for fundraising due to their potential for larger financial contributions, additional resources,
and wider network reach. This choice provides a higher likelihood of achieving the fundraising goal effectively and efficiently.
18. You have two weeks before final exams. Would you stay home to revise (ôn tậ p) for the test; go on
holiday with family; (and) join friends for parties? What is your best choice?
The best choice to make in this situation is to stay home and revise for the final exams. Firstly, revising at
home allows for a focused and distraction-free study environment, which is essential for effective learning
and retention of the material. Secondly, dedicating time to revision ensures thorough understanding of the
topics and increases the chances of performing well on the exams. For example, by reviewing key concepts
and practicing sample questions, one can strengthen their knowledge and improve their problem-solving skills.
I would not choose to go on holiday with family because it would divert attention and time away from exam
preparation. The purpose of the two-week period before final exams is to prioritize studying and ensure
academic success. Taking a holiday during this critical time may hinder adequate preparation and
potentially impact exam performance.
Finally, joining friends for parties is not a good choice either because it can be a major distraction from
studying. Parties often involve socializing, entertainment, and late nights, which can disrupt sleep patterns
and diminish focus. Engaging in excessive social activities during this period may lead to a lack of
preparation and result in suboptimal exam performance.
To sum up, the best choice is to stay home and revise for the final exams. This option allows for focused
studying, thorough understanding of the material, and maximizes the chances of achieving good results.
Prioritizing exam preparation during this critical period will set the foundation for success and can be
followed by enjoyable activities and quality time with family and friends after the exams. --
The best choice to make in this situation is to stay home to revise for the test, for the following reasons.
Firstly, final exams require focused preparation and dedicating time to revision at home will allow for
concentrated studying without distractions. Secondly, revising at home provides a familiar and
comfortable environment that can enhance concentration and retention of information. For example, a
quiet study space and access to necessary study materials can contribute to effective learning.
I would not choose to go on holiday with family because it may disrupt the study routine and limit the
amount of time available for revision. Family holidays are enjoyable, but during this critical period, it is
crucial to prioritize exam preparation over leisure activities.
Similarly, joining friends for parties is not a good choice either because it can lead to distractions, late
nights, and a lack of focus on studying. Parties can be fun, but they may hinder productive studying and
negatively impact exam performance.
To sum up, staying home to revise for the test is the best choice. It allows for focused preparation, a
conducive study environment, and ample time to review and consolidate knowledge. Prioritizing revision
will increase the chances of performing well on the final exams and achieving academic success.
19. The manager of an English center wants to advertise it. There are three suggested media: TV,
internet and radio. What is your best choice?
My situation is that I am the manager of an English center and I need to decide on the best advertising
option. In my opinion, the internet is the best choice because of several reasons.
Firstly, the internet offers a wide reach and is an integral part of people's lives. It allows us to target specific
demographics and effectively reach potential students. With a large number of internet users, our
advertisement can reach a vast audience interested in learning English.
Secondly, advertising on the internet is cost-effective compared to TV and radio. TV ads involve high
production costs and airtime fees, which may not be suitable for a local English center. Online advertising
provides flexible budgeting options, allowing us to allocate resources efficiently and maximize our return on investment.
For example, we can create engaging content and use social media platforms to promote our English center.
By sharing success stories, testimonials, and interactive learning materials, we can generate interest and
attract potential students. Online ads can also be targeted based on location and interests, ensuring our
message reaches the right audience.
I would not choose TV as it is expensive and may not effectively reach our target audience. Additionally, TV
ads have a limited duration and can be easily skipped or ignored.
Finally, radio is not a good choice because it lacks the visual component, which is essential for promoting an
English center. Without visuals, it becomes challenging to showcase the benefits and features of our center.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose internet advertising due to its wide reach, cost-
effectiveness, and the ability to engage potential students with visual content.
20. Your volunteer group is organizing a trip to help children in a remote area. There are three
options: reading books, buying clothes and watching movies. What is your best choice?
My situation is that I am part of a volunteer group organizing a trip to help children in a remote area. In
my opinion, the best choice among the options of reading books, buying clothes, and watching movies
would be reading books. This choice is supported by the following reasons.
Firstly, reading books provides valuable educational and intellectual benefits to children. It promotes
literacy, expands their knowledge, and enhances their cognitive skills. By providing access to books, we
can empower children with the tools for self-improvement and lifelong learning. Books have the power
to inspire creativity, stimulate imagination, and foster a love for reading.
Secondly, reading books can have a lasting impact on the children's lives. Books offer a gateway to
different cultures, perspectives, and ideas, broadening their horizons and promoting empathy. They can
serve as a source of inspiration, empowering children to dream big and pursue their aspirations. Reading
also improves language skills and critical thinking abilities, which are essential for their overall development.
For example, during our trip, we can organize reading sessions where volunteers read aloud and engage
with the children, encouraging discussions and fostering a love for books. We can also provide them with
age-appropriate books to take home, creating a sustainable impact beyond our visit.
I would not choose buying clothes as the primary option because while clothing is important, the long-
term impact on the children's education and personal growth may not be as significant as that of reading
books. Similarly, watching movies may provide temporary entertainment, but it does not offer the same
educational and intellectual benefits as reading.
In conclusion, if I were in that situation, I would choose reading books as the best choice for our trip. It
enables us to empower children through education, nurture their imagination, and create a lasting impact on their lives.
21. A group of people is planning a trip from Danang to Hanoi. Three means of transport are suggested: ● by train, ● by plane,
● by coach (xe khách). Which means of transport do you think is the best choice?
My situation is that I am part of a group planning a trip from Danang to Hanoi. In my opinion, the best
choice among the suggested means of transport - by train, by plane, and by coach - would be by plane.
This choice is supported by the following reasons.
Firstly, traveling by plane offers the fastest and most time-efficient option. The distance between Danang
and Hanoi is significant, and air travel allows us to cover this distance quickly, saving valuable time. This
is particularly beneficial for travelers who have limited time or want to maximize their time exploring
the destination rather than spending it on transportation.
Secondly, flying provides comfort and convenience. Modern airplanes are equipped with amenities that
ensure a comfortable journey, such as spacious seating, climate control, and entertainment systems.
Additionally, airports are well-equipped with facilities, including restaurants, lounges, and duty-free
shops, allowing travelers to relax and make the most of their transit time.
For example, by choosing to travel by plane, our group can arrive in Hanoi within a few hours, giving us
ample time to explore and enjoy the city's attractions and activities. It allows us to make the most of our
trip and optimize our travel experience.
I would not choose traveling by train because it generally takes longer compared to air travel. Although
train journeys can offer scenic views and a unique experience, they may not be the most practical choice when time is a factor.
Finally, traveling by coach may be a more economical option, but it also tends to be a longer journey
compared to flying. Coaches are subject to traffic conditions and frequent stops along the way, which
can significantly extend the travel time.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose traveling by plane as the best means of transport
for our trip from Danang to Hanoi. It offers speed, convenience, and efficiency, allowing us to make the
most of our time and enjoy our destination to the fullest.
22. You are thinking about how to congratulate your close friend’s birthday. There are three ways:
posting on facebook/ making a phone call/ sending a card. What is your best choice?
My situation is that I am thinking about how to congratulate my close friend on their birthday. In my
opinion, the best choice among the options of posting on Facebook, making a phone call, and sending a card
would be making a phone call. This choice is supported by the following reasons.
Firstly, making a phone call allows for a more personal and direct connection with my close friend. Hearing
each other's voices and engaging in a conversation adds a warm and personal touch to the birthday wishes.
It provides an opportunity to express sincere emotions, share memories, and engage in real-time interaction,
making the birthday greeting more meaningful.
Secondly, a phone call offers immediate and instant communication. Unlike posting on Facebook or sending
a card, which may take time to reach the recipient, a phone call ensures that my friend receives the birthday
wishes promptly. It allows us to connect in real-time and share the joy and excitement of the special day.
For example, by making a phone call, I can have a heartfelt conversation, catch up on recent events, and
express my wishes and blessings directly to my friend. It creates a more personal and intimate experience,
reinforcing the bond of friendship.
I would not choose posting on Facebook as the primary option because although it is convenient and can
reach a wider audience, it lacks the personal touch and may not have the same level of emotional impact as
a phone call. Facebook messages can sometimes feel impersonal and less meaningful, especially on special occasions like birthdays.
Similarly, sending a card, although a thoughtful gesture, may take longer to reach my friend, especially if
there are delays in postal services. It may also lack the immediate connection and personal interaction that a phone call provides.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose making a phone call as the best choice to congratulate
my close friend on their birthday. It allows for a personal and direct connection, immediate communication,
and the opportunity to express genuine emotions and well wishes.
23. A youth club is inviting a speaker to talk about life experience. There are 3 people suggested.
famous singer, company president, excellent student. What is the best choice?
● company president: it is useful (company presidents often have much life experience to share//
they are successful in their career and have good communication skills)
● excellent students: they are too young, and don’t have a lot of life experience.
● Famous singer: it is not suitable because they do not have suitable experience.
My situation is that a youth club is in the process of selecting a speaker to talk about life experience. The
club has three suggestions: a company president, an excellent student, and a famous singer. In my opinion,
the best choice would be the company president for the following reasons.
Firstly, a company president possesses a wealth of life experience to share. They have likely faced various
challenges and obstacles throughout their career, making their insights valuable and relatable to the youth
club members. Their experiences can provide guidance and inspiration for young individuals navigating their own paths in life.
Secondly, a company president often possesses strong leadership and communication skills. These skills are
crucial for effectively conveying their life experiences and engaging the audience. They can articulate their
journey, share valuable lessons, and inspire the youth club members to strive for success in their own endeavors.
For example, the company president can share stories of overcoming setbacks, making tough decisions, and
achieving milestones in their professional life. These anecdotes can serve as powerful motivators and teach
important life lessons to the youth club members.
I would not choose the famous singer as a speaker because while they may have achieved success in their
field, their life experiences may not directly align with the overall theme of the talk. The focus of the event is
on broader life experiences, and a famous singer's career may not encompass the same range of challenges
and lessons as that of a company president.
Lastly, while an excellent student may possess impressive academic achievements, their life experience may
be relatively limited compared to a company president. They are still in the early stages of their personal
and professional development, and their insights may not provide the same depth and breadth as someone with more life experience.
In conclusion, if I were in that situation, I would choose a company president as the best choice for the youth
club's speaker on life experience. Their extensive experience, leadership skills, and relatable stories make
them ideal candidates to inspire and guide the young audience.
24. You are planning to have a Sunday evening out. There are 3 options to choose: ● seeing a movie ● going shopping
● singing Karaoke. What is the best choice?
My situation is that I am planning to have a Sunday evening out and I have three options to choose from:
seeing a movie, going shopping, and singing karaoke. In my opinion, the best choice would be singing
karaoke for the following reasons.
Firstly, singing karaoke provides a fun and interactive experience. It allows me to express myself creatively,
enjoy music, and have a great time with friends or family. Karaoke sessions often involve laughter, bonding,
and creating memorable moments, making it an enjoyable and entertaining choice for a Sunday evening out.
Secondly, singing karaoke offers a unique form of self-expression. It allows me to choose and perform my
favorite songs, showcasing my vocal abilities and connecting with the music on a personal level. It can be a
stress-relieving activity, providing a chance to let loose, unleash my inner performer, and simply have a good time.
For example, gathering at a karaoke lounge or using a karaoke machine at home with loved ones can create
a lively and energetic atmosphere. We can take turns singing, encouraging each other, and enjoying the
music together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared enjoyment.
I would not choose seeing a movie because it is a more passive and solitary activity. While watching a movie
can be enjoyable, it may not provide the same level of social interaction and engagement as singing karaoke.
Similarly, going shopping can be a leisurely activity, but it may not offer the same level of excitement and
entertainment as singing karaoke. Shopping is often focused on individual preferences and may not foster
the same level of group interaction and enjoyment.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose singing karaoke as the best choice for a Sunday evening
out. It provides a fun, interactive, and engaging experience, allowing me to express myself through music,
bond with others, and create lasting memories.
25. Younger sister told lies many times. What are you going to do
● having a talk with her (the best choice, I will talk to her, explain to her that it’s not good to tell lies, give her good advice)
● informing your parents (not necessary, my parents may not understand my sister as much as I do,
her lies are not that serious, I would do this if my sister continued to tell lies, parents may punish
my sister and I do not want this to happen)
● letting her continue telling lies (not good for her character development in the future) What is your choice?
My situation is that my younger sister has been telling lies repeatedly. In my opinion, the best option would
be to have a talk with her about this issue. This choice is supported by the following reasons.
Firstly, having a talk with her allows for open communication and understanding. It provides an
opportunity to address the problem directly and express my concerns about her habit of lying. Through a
conversation, I can emphasize the importance of honesty and the negative consequences that lying can have on relationships and trust.
Secondly, talking to her can help uncover the underlying reasons behind her tendency to lie. It is possible
that she may be experiencing difficulties or fears that lead her to resort to dishonesty. By listening to her
perspective, I can offer guidance, support, and help her find healthier ways to deal with her emotions or challenges.
For example, during the conversation, I can share personal experiences or stories to illustrate the impact of
lying and how honesty can strengthen relationships. I can also provide guidance on problem-solving
strategies or offer suggestions for alternative ways to communicate or express herself.
I would not choose to inform my parents as the first course of action because involving them immediately
may create a sense of fear or hostility. It is important to establish trust and open communication with my
sister first, allowing her the opportunity to understand and rectify her behavior.
Lastly, letting her continue telling lies is not a good choice either because it enables and reinforces this
negative behavior. Ignoring the issue may lead to further complications and damage trust within the family.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to have a talk with my younger sister about her habit of
lying. By addressing the issue directly, offering guidance, and emphasizing the importance of honesty, we
can work towards fostering trust and helping her develop more positive communication habits.
26. You are studying economics and need daily update on economic news: ● Internet/ ● Tv/
● radio. What is the best choice?
My situation is that I am studying economics and need daily updates on economic news. In my opinion,
the best choice for receiving these updates would be the internet. This choice is supported by the following reasons.
Firstly, the internet provides a wide range of sources and platforms dedicated to economic news. Various
reputable websites, news portals, and financial publications offer up-to-date information on economic
trends, market analysis, and policy developments. This accessibility allows me to stay informed and
access a diverse range of perspectives and insights.
Secondly, the internet offers convenience and flexibility. I can access economic news anytime and
anywhere using a computer, laptop, or mobile device with an internet connection. This flexibility allows
me to integrate the consumption of economic news into my daily routine and stay updated without being
tied to specific broadcast schedules.
For example, by browsing economic news websites, I can read articles, watch video interviews, and listen
to expert opinions on various economic topics. I can also utilize social media platforms to follow
influential economists and financial institutions, enabling me to receive real-time updates and engage in
discussions with a broader community.
I would not choose TV as the primary option because it is limited by specific programming schedules and
may not always prioritize economic news coverage. While some dedicated channels offer economic
analysis and reports, the content may be less comprehensive compared to the vast resources available on the internet.
Similarly, radio may provide economic news updates, but it lacks the visual element and depth of
information compared to internet sources. The nature of radio broadcasting may also restrict the
frequency and timing of updates.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose the internet as the best choice for daily updates on
economic news. Its vast resources, convenience, and flexibility allow me to access a wide range of
information, stay informed, and deepen my understanding of economic trends and developments.
27. Your friend is going to study abroad next month. What will you give them? ● A favorite book ● A photo album ● handmade scarf
My situation is that my friend is going to study abroad next month, and I need to decide what gift to give
them. In my opinion, the best option would be a photo album. This choice is supported by the following reasons.
Firstly, a photo album captures and preserves precious memories. It allows my friend to reminisce about
the shared moments and experiences we have had together. The photographs can serve as a reminder of
our friendship and provide comfort and familiarity when they are far away from home.
Secondly, a photo album is a personal and thoughtful gift. It shows that I have put effort and care into
curating the photos and creating a meaningful collection. Each picture can be accompanied by
handwritten notes or captions, expressing well wishes, encouragement, and reminders of our special bond.
For example, I can include pictures of significant events, trips, or gatherings that we have enjoyed
together. This visual representation of our friendship can be a source of comfort and inspiration for my
friend during their time abroad.
I would not choose a favorite book as a gift because it may not hold the same personal connection and
sentimental value as a photo album. While books can be enjoyable and meaningful, they may not
capture the essence of our friendship in the same way as a collection of shared memories.
Similarly, a handmade scarf, while a thoughtful gesture, may not have the same lasting emotional
impact as a photo album. The scarf can provide physical warmth, but it may not have the same ability to evoke memories and emotions.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to give my friend a photo album as a gift before
they study abroad. It serves as a tangible reminder of our friendship, captures precious memories, and
provides comfort during their time away.
28. The government is asking for citizens’ opinion on how to deal with smoking in public areas.
● Fining smokers at least 500.000VND
● Asking smokers to do community service ● Sending smokers to prison
My situation is that the government is seeking citizens' opinions on how to address smoking in public areas.
In my opinion, asking smokers to do community service is the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, fining smokers at least 500,000VND may not effectively deter smoking in public areas. While
financial penalties can serve as a deterrent, the proposed amount may not be significant enough to
discourage repeat offenses. Additionally, fines alone may not address the underlying issue of smoking in public spaces.
Secondly, sending smokers to prison seems excessive and disproportionate for the offense of smoking in
public areas. Imprisonment should be reserved for more serious offenses, and enforcing such a measure for
smoking could burden the legal system and overcrowd prisons.
On the other hand, asking smokers to do community service offers a more constructive approach.
Community service can be tailored to raise awareness about the harms of smoking, educate the public, and
promote healthier lifestyles. Smokers can be engaged in activities such as organizing anti-smoking
campaigns, participating in public health initiatives, or assisting in community projects that discourage smoking.
For example, smokers performing community service can contribute to cleaning up public spaces, removing
cigarette litter, or assisting in programs aimed at supporting individuals who want to quit smoking. This
approach encourages responsibility, personal growth, and community involvement while addressing the issue at hand.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to ask smokers to do community service as the best
option for dealing with smoking in public areas. It promotes awareness, education, and personal
development while addressing the issue through constructive engagement rather than punitive measures.
29. Your brother is a university student who likes traveling. Give him a birthday gift. ● A selfie stick ● A camera ● A 3-day holiday tour
My situation is that my brother is a university student who enjoys traveling, and I need to decide on a
birthday gift for him. In my opinion, a 3-day holiday tour would be the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, a 3-day holiday tour provides a unique and memorable experience. It offers my brother the
opportunity to explore new destinations, immerse himself in different cultures, and create lasting memories.
This gift goes beyond material possessions and offers him the chance to enrich his travel experiences and broaden his horizons.
Secondly, a holiday tour allows my brother to take a break from his studies and relax. University life can be
demanding, and a short getaway provides a well-deserved respite. It allows him to recharge, rejuvenate, and
enjoy quality time away from academic commitments.
For example, the holiday tour could include visits to popular tourist attractions, engaging in outdoor
activities, or experiencing local traditions and cuisine. It offers a blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural
immersion, catering to my brother's interests as a travel enthusiast.
I would not choose a selfie stick as a gift because it is a more limited and accessory-like item. While it can
enhance the photography experience, it may not provide the same level of enjoyment and fulfillment as a holiday tour.
Similarly, while a camera can be a valuable tool for capturing travel memories, it is a standalone item that
may not offer the same immersive experience as a holiday tour. A camera can be a complementary gift to
document his travels during the tour.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to gift my brother a 3-day holiday tour for his birthday.
It offers him an unforgettable experience, a break from university life, and the opportunity to create lifelong memories.
30. Your friend feels stressed with her busy but boring life. Which of the following activities do
you think we should do to refresh her? ● Taking up a sport ● Learning a new skill ● Doing volunteer work
My situation is that my friend feels stressed with her busy but boring life, and I need to decide on an activity
to refresh her. In my opinion, learning a new skill is the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, learning a new skill brings a sense of novelty and excitement to one's life. It provides a fresh
perspective and challenges the monotony of a routine. By acquiring a new skill, my friend can engage in a
stimulating and fulfilling activity that sparks her interest and passion.
Secondly, learning a new skill offers personal growth and development. It provides an opportunity for my
friend to expand her knowledge, acquire new competencies, and enhance her self-confidence. This process of
learning and self-improvement can boost her overall well-being and provide a sense of accomplishment.
For example, my friend could explore various options such as painting, playing a musical instrument, or
learning a new language. These activities not only stimulate creativity but also provide a platform for self-
expression and personal exploration.
I would not choose taking up a sport as the primary option because it may add to the physical demands and
time commitments of my friend's already busy life. While sports can be a great way to relieve stress, they
may not address the aspect of boredom in her life.
Similarly, while doing volunteer work is noble and fulfilling, it may not directly address the issue of boredom.
Volunteer work requires time and dedication, and it may not provide the same level of personal interest and
engagement as learning a new skill.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would suggest that my friend learns a new skill to refresh herself. It
offers novelty, personal growth, and a sense of accomplishment. By exploring a new area of interest, she can
break free from the monotony of her routine and discover new avenues for self-expression and fulfillment.
31. Your father is going to retire next week. What should you buy for him?
● A bottle of champagne (my father does not drink, he does not like drinking, wine is not good for older people)
● A puppy – yes, the best choice because he loves pets, a puppy may become a good friend for him,
when he feels bored, he can play with the puppy
● A tie – not necessary because he has many ties
My situation is that my father is about to retire, and I need to decide on a gift for him. In my opinion, a
puppy would be the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, my father loves pets, and a puppy would bring him immense joy and companionship during his
retirement. Having a furry friend by his side can provide emotional support, reduce feelings of loneliness,
and offer a source of entertainment and affection.
Secondly, a puppy can become a loyal and loving companion for my father. It can bring a sense of purpose
and responsibility, as he takes care of its needs and watches it grow. The presence of a playful and energetic
puppy can bring life and excitement to his days, and they can form a deep bond as they spend quality time together.
For example, my father can take the puppy for walks, play fetch, or simply relax together. This interaction
can provide him with a sense of fulfillment and a positive outlet for his time and energy.
I would not choose a bottle of champagne as my father does not drink and does not have an interest in
alcoholic beverages. Additionally, wine is not recommended for older individuals, so it would not be suitable or beneficial for him.
Furthermore, buying a tie would not be necessary as my father likely already has a collection of ties from his
professional life. While it may be a practical gift, it may not hold the same sentimental value or bring the same level of joy as a puppy.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to buy a puppy as a gift for my father's retirement. It
would provide him with companionship, joy, and a new source of excitement and purpose during this new phase of his life.
32. Do you want to buy some clothes? Where should you buy? ● A shop ● An open air markets. ● An online shop
My situation is that I want to buy some clothes, and I need to decide where to make my purchase. In my
opinion, an online shop is the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, an online shop offers convenience and accessibility. I can browse and shop for clothes from the
comfort of my own home or any location with an internet connection. This saves time and eliminates the
need for physical travel to a shop or open-air market.
Secondly, an online shop provides a wide variety of clothing options. I can explore numerous brands, styles,
and sizes without limitations. Online platforms often offer extensive catalogs and filters to help me find exactly what I'm looking for.
For example, I can compare prices, read customer reviews, and view detailed product descriptions and
images. This allows me to make informed decisions and find the best deals.
I would not choose an open-air market because it may have limited options and availability compared to an
online shop. While open-air markets can offer a unique shopping experience and a chance to bargain, they
may not provide the same convenience and range of choices as an online shop.
Similarly, while a physical shop allows for trying on clothes before making a purchase, it may have a more
limited selection compared to an online shop. Additionally, visiting a shop involves traveling and potential time constraints.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to buy clothes from an online shop. It provides
convenience, a wide range of options, and the ability to make informed decisions. Shopping online allows me
to find the clothes I want without the limitations of physical locations or time constraints.
33. A foreign friend is going to visit a city in Vietnam in August for 3 days. Where would you
recommend for her to visit? ● Ha Noi ● Ho Chi Minh city ● Hue
My situation is that I need to recommend a city in Vietnam for my foreign friend to visit during her 3-day
trip in August. In my opinion, Ha Noi would be the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, Ha Noi, the capital city of Vietnam, offers a rich cultural and historical experience. It is home to
numerous iconic landmarks such as the Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple of Literature, and the Old Quarter.
Exploring these sites would provide my friend with insights into Vietnam's history, architecture, and traditions.
Secondly, Ha Noi boasts a vibrant culinary scene with a diverse range of street food and local delicacies.
From enjoying a bowl of pho to indulging in egg coffee, my friend can savor the authentic flavors of
Vietnamese cuisine and experience the bustling atmosphere of local markets and food stalls.
For example, she can take a walking tour through the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, sample local
snacks, and engage with friendly vendors.
I would not choose Ho Chi Minh City or Hue as the top recommendation. While Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling
metropolis with modern amenities and a lively nightlife, its historical attractions may be overshadowed by
its urban character. On the other hand, while Hue is known for its imperial citadel and royal tombs, it may
require more than three days to fully explore and appreciate its cultural heritage.
Finally, to sum up, if I were in that situation, I would recommend Ha Noi to my foreign friend. Its blend of
history, culture, and culinary delights make it an ideal destination for a memorable and enriching 3-day visit in Vietnam.
34. Helping mountainous children ● Money ● Old clothes ● Notebooks and pencils
My situation is that I want to help mountainous children, and I need to decide how to provide assistance. In
my opinion, donating notebooks and pencils is the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, by donating notebooks and pencils, we can support the educational needs of mountainous children.
These basic school supplies are essential for their learning and development. Providing them with the tools
to pursue education can empower them for a brighter future.
Secondly, donating notebooks and pencils is a cost-effective option. Compared to giving money or old
clothes, purchasing school supplies is relatively affordable and allows us to reach a larger number of
children in need. This way, we can maximize the impact of our support.
For example, with the donated notebooks and pencils, the children can engage in meaningful learning
activities, take notes, and complete their assignments. This contributes to their educational progress and
opens doors to new opportunities.
I would not choose to donate money because it may not directly address the specific needs of the
mountainous children. While money can be used for various purposes, including education, there is a risk of
it being misused or not reaching its intended purpose.
Similarly, donating old clothes, although a kind gesture, may not have the same long-term impact as
providing educational supplies. Clothing needs can vary, and focusing on education helps address the root
cause of poverty and inequality.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to donate notebooks and pencils to help mountainous
children. It is a practical and targeted approach that supports their education and equips them with
essential tools for a better future.
35. You have some weak students in class. You want to help them. There are 3 options: ● a teacher/ ● a tutor/ ● an excellent classmate
My situation is that I have some weak students in my class, and I want to help them improve their academic
performance. In my opinion, a tutor is the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, a tutor can provide personalized attention and tailored instruction to meet the specific needs of each
weak student. They can assess the students' strengths and weaknesses, identify areas for improvement, and
design customized learning plans. This individualized approach can enhance the students' understanding
and help them grasp difficult concepts.
Secondly, a tutor can offer additional support outside the regular classroom setting. They can provide extra
practice materials, engage the students in interactive learning activities, and clarify any doubts or
questions. This one-on-one interaction fosters a conducive learning environment and boosts the students' confidence.
For example, the tutor can use different teaching strategies, such as visual aids or hands-on activities, to
make the learning process more engaging and effective. They can also provide timely feedback and
guidance, reinforcing the weak students' progress and addressing their challenges.
I would not choose relying solely on the classroom teacher because they have limited time and resources to
cater to the specific needs of each weak student. With a large class size and a fixed curriculum, it can be
challenging for the teacher to provide individual attention to every student.
Similarly, while an excellent classmate can offer peer support and guidance, they may not possess the same
expertise and teaching skills as a dedicated tutor. The excellent classmate may be knowledgeable in certain
subjects but may lack the pedagogical training and experience to effectively address the weak students' learning gaps.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a tutor to help the weak students in my class. Their
personalized instruction, additional support, and expertise would make a significant difference in improving
the students' academic performance and fostering their overall growth.
35.Your family is discussing how your nephew spends his summer holiday. ● Joining a summer camp ● Doing military training
● Staying with his grandparents.
My situation is that my family is discussing how my nephew should spend his summer holiday. In my opinion,
joining a summer camp is the best option for several reasons.
Firstly, a summer camp offers a wide range of activities and opportunities for personal growth. It provides a
structured and supervised environment where my nephew can engage in various sports, outdoor
adventures, creative arts, and educational workshops. This exposure to new experiences can broaden his
horizons, develop his skills, and foster independence.
Secondly, a summer camp allows my nephew to socialize and make new friends. Interacting with peers from
different backgrounds and cultures can enhance his interpersonal skills, teamwork abilities, and resilience.
Building friendships in a camp setting promotes a sense of belonging and self-confidence.
For example, my nephew can participate in team-building activities, campfire discussions, and group
projects, which encourage collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. These experiences can
have a positive impact on his personal and social development.
I would not choose military training as it may not align with my nephew's interests and preferences.
Military training is more focused on discipline, physical fitness, and specific skill sets. It may not provide the
same holistic and diverse learning opportunities as a summer camp.
Similarly, while staying with his grandparents can be a comfortable and familiar option, it may not offer the
same level of engagement, personal growth, and social interaction as a summer camp. Although spending
quality time with family is valuable, exploring new environments and engaging with a diverse group of
peers can broaden my nephew's perspectives and enrich his overall summer experience.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose for my nephew to join a summer camp. It would
provide him with a well-rounded and enriching experience, including a variety of activities, social
interactions, and personal growth opportunities.
46. Your university offers free courses for graduate students. Which would you choose? There are
THREE options for you to choose: ● A swimming course
● A time-management course
● A public speaking course
indispensable crowd 5 years old balanced way
My situation is that I am a graduate student at my university and I have the opportunity to choose from
three free courses: a swimming course, a time-management course, and a public speaking course. In my
opinion, the best option for me would be the time-management course because of the following reasons.
Firstly, as a graduate student, managing my time effectively is crucial. Balancing academic responsibilities,
personal commitments, and extracurricular activities can be challenging. By taking a time-management
course, I can learn valuable strategies and techniques to optimize my productivity and prioritize tasks efficiently.
Secondly, acquiring strong time-management skills will benefit me not only during my studies but also in my
future career. Employers highly value individuals who can effectively manage their time, meet deadlines,
and maintain a balanced workload. This course would equip me with the necessary tools to excel in a professional environment.
For example, with improved time-management skills, I can allocate dedicated time slots for studying, leisure
activities, and socializing. This would enable me to maintain a healthy work-life balance, preventing
burnout and ensuring overall well-being.
I would not choose the swimming course because although it may provide physical exercise and relaxation,
it does not directly address the challenges I face as a graduate student. Similarly, the public speaking course,
while beneficial in enhancing communication skills, may not be as essential for my current academic pursuits.
Finally, the time-management course is not only relevant to my current situation but also offers long-term
advantages. It empowers me to become more organized, disciplined, and focused, skills that are
indispensable in any field of work.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose the time-management course due to its relevance,
immediate benefits, and long-term impact on my personal and professional life. It would enable me to
manage my responsibilities effectively, maintain a balanced lifestyle, and succeed in my academic and future endeavors.
42. You are getting fat and you decide to lose weight. Which weight loss method would you like to
choose? There are THREE options for you to choose:
● Going to the gym choose/gym/drug/digestion.
● Taking weight loss drugs ● Going on a diet.
My situation is that I have gained weight and I have made the decision to lose weight. In my opinion,
going on a diet is the best option because of the following reasons.
Firstly, diet plays a significant role in weight loss. By adopting a healthy and balanced eating plan, I can
control my calorie intake and make nutritious choices. This method allows me to develop sustainable
habits and promote long-term weight management.
Secondly, going on a diet encourages a holistic approach to weight loss. It not only focuses on reducing
body fat but also emphasizes overall well-being. A nutritious diet can provide essential nutrients, boost
energy levels, and improve digestion, leading to better overall health.
For example, by incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into my diet, I can maintain a
nutrient-rich and satisfying eating routine. Additionally, I can control portion sizes and limit the
consumption of high-calorie and processed foods, which are common contributors to weight gain.
I would not choose going to the gym as the primary weight loss method because exercise alone may not
yield significant results without addressing dietary choices. Although regular physical activity is
beneficial for overall health and can support weight loss efforts, it should be combined with a proper diet for optimal results.
Finally, taking weight loss drugs is not a good choice either because it may have potential side effects
and is not a sustainable solution. Relying solely on medication without making lifestyle changes is
unlikely to lead to long-term weight loss success.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose going on a diet due to its focus on healthy eating,
overall well-being, and potential for sustainable weight loss. By adopting a nutritious and balanced
eating plan, I can make positive changes to my diet, promote weight loss, and improve my overall health.
43. It is getting hotter, and your family is planning a trip to one of the 3 places that are suggested. A
seaside resort, a lakeside hotel, a countryside cottage.
My situation is that it is getting hotter, and my family is planning a trip to one of the three suggested places:
a seaside resort, a lakeside hotel, or a countryside cottage. In my opinion, a seaside resort is the best option
because of the following reasons.
Firstly, a seaside resort offers a refreshing escape from the heat. The cool ocean breeze and the opportunity
to swim in the sea provide a pleasant respite from the rising temperatures. It allows us to relax, unwind, and
enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline.
Secondly, a seaside resort offers a wide range of recreational activities for the entire family. From beach
volleyball and water sports to exploring nearby attractions, there is something for everyone. This ensures
that our vacation is filled with fun and memorable experiences.
For example, we can spend the day building sandcastles, taking leisurely walks along the shore, or simply
basking in the sun. The beach offers a picturesque setting for family bonding and creating cherished memories.
I would not choose a lakeside hotel because although it may provide a serene environment, it may not offer
the same level of water-related activities and coastal charm as a seaside resort. Similarly, a countryside
cottage, while peaceful and tranquil, may not offer the same refreshing coastal experience that we desire.
Finally, a countryside cottage is not a good choice either because it lacks the immediate access to the beach
and the vibrant atmosphere that a seaside resort provides. The seaside offers a unique blend of relaxation
and excitement that cannot be replicated in a countryside setting.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a seaside resort due to its refreshing atmosphere,
abundance of recreational activities, and the opportunity to create lasting family memories by the beach. It
offers the perfect combination of relaxation and excitement for an enjoyable summer vacation.
44. There are some weak students in your class. You are thinking of finding a way to help them: a teacher,
an academic tutor, an excellent classmate.
My situation is that there are some weak students in my class, and I am thinking of finding a way to help
them. In my opinion, an academic tutor is the best option because of the following reasons.
Firstly, an academic tutor is specifically trained to provide individualized assistance and support to students
who are struggling. They possess the knowledge and expertise to identify the specific areas where the weak
students need help and can tailor their teaching methods accordingly.
Secondly, an academic tutor can dedicate focused time and attention to the weak students. They can provide
additional explanations, clarify doubts, and offer personalized guidance, which may not be possible for a
teacher with a larger class size.
For example, an academic tutor can conduct one-on-one sessions or small group sessions to address the
weak students' learning gaps and provide targeted exercises to improve their understanding and skills.
I would not choose a teacher as the primary solution because they may not have sufficient time and
resources to provide individual attention to each weak student in a classroom setting. The teacher's
responsibilities are already divided among all students, and catering to the specific needs of weak students may be challenging.
Finally, relying solely on an excellent classmate as a source of help may not be a good choice either because
although they may be knowledgeable and willing to assist, they may not have the pedagogical skills or
experience to effectively address the weak students' learning difficulties.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose an academic tutor due to their specialized training,
ability to provide individualized attention, and expertise in addressing learning gaps. They can offer
personalized support and guidance, helping the weak students improve their understanding and academic performance.
