E1-SPEAKING TOPICS FOR STUDENTS Nice to meet you
I want to introduce myself a little bit
My full name is Le Khanh Vi, I am 19 years old, my hometown is in Bac Lieu, my major is
Inspector in law. My hobbies are reading stories and watching game shows like Star
Enlistment, 2 Days 1 Night. My advantage is that I am very sociable, my disadvantage is
overthinking. In the future I want to be 1 inspector.
1. Talk about the profile of a celebrity you know.
The celebrity I want to talk about is singer Hoa Minzy. Her full name is Nguyen Thi Hoa,
born on May 31, 1995 in Bac Ninh province. She has many famous songs such as Roi Bo,
Thi Mau,... Her family has never participated in the arts. But because of her passion, Hoa
Minzy asked her family to go to Hanoi to make a living to study vocal music at Hanoi
College of Arts. She used to sing in tea rooms and cafes to make money. She is the champion
of the first season of the reality television competition Star Academy Vietnam 2014 with the
song "Lang Quan Ho que toi" reaching number one. From then on she ventured into the
entertainment world and had a rich life. Currently, she has a son and has a full and
prosperous life with relatives and family.
2. Talk about a means of transport you prefer to use.
The means of transport I often use is a motorbike. My father bought me a motorbike in the
summer of 11th grade. Motorbikes are an indispensable means of transport in my life. I use
motorbikes very often, like going from school to home, from home to school, going out,
going to relatives' houses. And now I have a driver's license, so I can go everywhere without
any hesitation. I like riding a motorbike because it's very convenient, fast, doesn't have to
wait like when riding a bus, and because it's compact, it's easy to get around big vehicles.
That's why I absolutely love riding motorbikes.
3. Talk about your most enjoyable way to relax
After a tiring day of studying and working, everyone needs some relaxation and so do I, I
relax through novels. I really like reading novels, the genres I often read are about love,
detective, horror,... Immersing myself in my imagination makes me forget my fatigue. I read
novels most often. It's in the evening, and I consider that time to be a time of relaxation. I
like reading novels because I can put myself into my imagination, put myself into that 1 lOMoARcPSD|50713028
character, and novels are like movies running through my head. And also through novels, I
learn more about life. That's why whenever I need relaxation, novels are always my first choice.
4. Talk about your ideal job.
Currently I am studying in the inspection major of the National Academy of Public
Administration in Ho Chi Minh City. So after graduating from university, I want to become
an inspector. Inspectors are civil servants, People's Army officers, and People's Police
officers appointed to the inspection rank to perform inspection tasks. Inspectors are provided
with uniforms and inspection cards. To become an inspector, we need to have a university
degree, inspection certificate, foreign language certificate, and 2 years of inspection work.
I want to become an inspector because of my own passion, contributing to ensuring order,
monitoring, and advising the state government, helping the country become better and more developed.
5. Talk about the love story of a couple you know.
I have been following the love of the couple Dieu Nhi and Anh Tu. They met and got to
know each other in 2015 at the Young World stage. At first, the two often expressed their
feelings for each other but later they toned it down. In 2017, when his girlfriend took him
back to his hometown of Phan Thiet, Anh Tu confessed his love to Dieu Nhi. In 2019, the
two artists were caught up in breakup rumors. And on October 10, 2022, they held a
wedding, officially moved in together and ended their 6-year love story. Anh Tu Dieu Nhi's
love is very romantic and full of thorns. They were always entangled in rumors because
Dieu Nhi was less beautiful than Anh Tu, but they overcame everything. I admire love very
much and hope that I will have a romantic love like them.
6. Talk about your favorite fairy tale.
When I was young, my grandmother told me many fairy tales. But the ancient story that I
like the most is the story Tam Cam, the story revolves around 5 characters: Tam, Cam, Cam's
mother, Buddha and the Prince. Tam is a gentle, beautiful motherless girl who lives with her
stepmother and a half-sister named Cam. Tam was hated and abused by Cam and her mother.
Every time Tam was mistreated, Buddha appeared to comfort and help him. During a
festival, the king met Tam and married her. Cam and his mother killed Tam to marry Cam
as the king's wife. Tam turned into a Golden Bird, a peach tree, a loom tree, and a thimble
tree many times, but Cam and his mother found a way to harm them. Finally, Tam met the
king again. The two lived happily together. And mother and child were appropriately
punished. I really like this story because it brings me many valuable lessons such as one
good turn deserves another, you reap what you sow, good will prevail over evil. 2 lOMoARcPSD|50713028
7. Describe the last time you had a special meal.
Last year I had a very special New Year's Eve meal that I will probably never eat again. It was the
last New Year's Eve 2022 at my grandparents' house, the party was very crowded, including my
near and far relatives. The party includes Duck with fermented bean curd hot pot,Vietnamese
bamboo shoot salad, braised pork belly, pickle, Vietnamese pork roll, etc. During the meal,
everyone always laughs and jokes with each other, everyone tells each other stories about their
experiences. me. That meal was very special to me because at that time I was able to attend with
my grandfather, and then my grandfather passed away in September 2023. This year's New Year's
Eve I can no longer celebrate Tet with my grandfather. Although this year was still fun, I no longer
had the opportunity to eat a meal with my grandfather and that meal will always be a beautiful memory for me.
8. Talk about your favorite TV programme.
With the development of the world, people's entertainment needs are increasing day by day,
everyone wants to watch fun and entertaining programs. And me too, I'm currently watching the
program Star Enlistment, Star Enlistment is a reality TV show about the military with the
participation of famous figures in the entertainment world. When participating in the program, the
experienced characters will become an official soldier in the Vietnam People's Army within 7 days;
They must strictly comply with all regulations, living regimes, training content and discipline of
the army like other soldiers. At the end of each training day, based on physical, disciplinary and
military factors, the commander will evaluate and score the soldiers' performance that day. I often
watch this program in my free time. I like this program because it talks about things about the Army,
helps me understand the difficulties of soldiers, and better understand the struggle of Uncle Ho's
soldiers in the past. So I really like this program.
9. Talk about a film that you saw recently
I'm someone who rarely watches movies, and recently I watched a movie called Be with you, a
2018 Korean romantic movie starring So Ji Sub. and Son Ye Jin and directed by director Lee
Janghoon. The content of the movie is that before she died, Soo-ah promised her husband Woojin
that she would return on the first rain of next year. Time keeps passing by, I think those promises
will also drift away with the first rains of the season out there. Until one day, a miracle happened,
Soo-ah kept her promise and returned in front of her husband and son but she lost all her memories.
Ironically, their reunion was short-lived because Soo-ah had to leave her family again after the
rainy season ended that year. It is a very touching movie about husband and wife love, mother-child
love, making me very emotional and shed tears.
10. Talk about a popular band that you know.
I recently followed a Korean girl group, a band called LE SSERAFIM founded and managed by
Source Music, a subsidiary of Hybe. LE SSERAFIM officially debuted on May 2, 2022 with their
debut mini-album Fearless. The band consists of 5 members: Sakura, Kim Chae-won, Huh Yunjin,
Kazuha and Hong Eun-chae. I know them through the song Perfect Night in the Album Fearless, a
song with a cheerful, catchy melody. Not only that, in the mv of that song there are 5 very beautiful
girls and the colors in the mv are also very bright. bright. sharp. The band LE SSERAFIM is famous 3 lOMoARcPSD|50713028
for the beauty of its five girls and their songs are so good that listeners feel very comfortable and
entertained. I hope that in the future their band will grow and release many good songs.
