Reading habit should be encouraged among teenagers because of some reasons.
Firstly, reading helps increase knowledge. There are a lot of interesting things in a book, so they can
broaden their mind. (For example, travel guide provides knowledge and experience in tourism,
self-help teaches them the suitable ways to live, and science helps them know more about the world.)
The knowledge they receive from a book can be very helpful in life.
Secondly, reading helps reduce stress. When they are diving in the world of a book, they will forget
the stress, worrying or sadness. It’s a good way to relax.
Another benefit of reading is it improve memories. People consider reading a way to allow their
brain to exercise so that it can be healthy to work/ function better. This helps we memorize and remember better.
Lastly, it helps students have a better vocabulary source. When they read, they can expose to and
learn many new words, as well as see them in context. This is very beneficial for them to use these

1. Topic 1: Keeping a pet teaches children a lot of interesting things. (lợi ích của việc cho trẻ nuôi thú cưng)
The first thing is the love for animals (1). A pet is like a little friend to the kid, who plays with him
or listens to what he says. (This connection leads to the kid developing the love for the pet and, for
the world of animals in general. In the future, he will make effort to protect them)
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2
Secondly, they learn responsibility (2). It’s important for the pet to have good meal, to get bath or to
go to the vet at the right time. If he fails to do these for the pet, there will be troubles. (By being
aware of this, the kid becomes responsible for the ones he’s taking care of, not only the pet but also
people around, and the works he will do in the future)
Thirdly, this will help him grow the care for the others (3). Pets have problems like human. They
may be happy, sad or worried, sometimes they get sick and don’t feel good. The kids will pay
attention to these feelings and will learn to ease their pets. (Furthermore, they will develop the care for other people.)
Lastly, keeping a pet gives kids a chance to learn more about biological features of animals (4). For
example, he will notice different parts of the pet’s body and some of their habits. (These may help
them understand more about the world and maybe beneficial for their studying or in life later.) * Vocab - vet: bác sĩ thú y - pay attention: để ý
- ease: chăm sóc, chơi đùa nhẹ nhàng cẩn thận
- biological features: chức năng sinh học
2. Topic 2: There are a lot of factors to be considered when choosing a job. (những yếu tố cần xem xét khi chọn công việc)
Firstly, people can consider if that job is suitable with their interests (1). It’s important for a person to
work in a job that he is interested in. When he feels happy and satisfied with his work, he will work
very effectively and make effort to overcome all the difficulties to achieve success.
Secondly, money is an important factor to consider (2). A work with high salary will allow people
live a better life and support people around. If the income is too low, people cannot feel satisfied and work their best for it.
Another important factor is working environment (3). Good facilities, an open-minded, reliable
boss and supportive, professional colleagues, the working culture in which the vision and
values fit them are very important. They make people feel comfortable and motivated at the workplace.
Lastly, it’s working enhancement (4). People really concern about whether or not they have
promotion, have training or workshop and learn new skills. This enables them to improve
themselves and achieve the goal of life. * Vocab - satisfied: hài lòng
- effectively: hiệu quả
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2

3. Topic 3: The effects of Technology on Teenagers. (tác hại của việc lạm dụng công nghệ đối với các bạn độ tuổi teen)
Firstly, it makes imagination become unnecessary (1). When they come to something that they don’t
know, instead of spending a minute imagining, they may immediately go online and search for it.
(When this is too easy for them, this will form a habit among teenagers, and it’s not good for their imagination)
Secondly, they lack outside activities (2). Technology offers a lot of interesting things, which makes
teenagers spend much time using them and ignore other activities, including studying, exercising or
going out with friends. (This is not good for their physical well-being)
Another drawback of technology on teenagers is it inhibits memory (3). They tend to be lazy to
memorize information because the technology devices and the internet will do it for them. (This
leads to the dependence on technology when they need to recall any information and could affect
their studying negatively)
Lastly, it may be negative for their relationship (4). It’s common to see a group of teenagers who sit
in the same place but only stick their noses into the screen instead of communicating with each
other. (This makes their real-life relationship become weaker) * Vocab
- form a habit: hình thành thói quen
- imagination: trí tưởng tượng
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2 - ignore: bỏ qua
- physical well-being: thể chất
- inhibits: ngăn cản, làm hạn chế - memorize: ghi nhớ

- real-life relationship: mối quan hệ thực sự ngoài đời
4. Topic 4: Smoking should be banned in public places. (hút thuốc lá cần bị cấm ở những nơi công cộng)
The first and foremost reason to ban smoking is that it is very harmful to smoker’s health (1). It
contains thousands of toxics which will damage their lungs/ respiratory system steadily. (Besides
the respiratory system, it also causes other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure)
Secondly, it causes negative effects on non-smokers (2). People around who don’t use cigarette can’t
avoid breathing in the smoke. This is even more harmful since they take it in without any filters.
Another reason to ban is because it causes air pollution (3). When a cigarette is burned, not only the
smoke smells bad but the toxics released contributes to air pollution, too. (Also, the crop of tobacco
causes the degradation of land and makes it become less fertilized)
Lastly, it often leads to fire (4). A lot of places, especially forests have been destroyed because of the
careless and irresponsible action of people when throwing their burning cigarette ends on the ground. * Vocab - toxics: chất độc - lung: phổi
- respiratory system: hệ thống hô hấp
- diabetes: bệnh tiểu đường
- blood pressure: cao huyết áp - cigarette: thuốc lá - filters: đầu lọc - crop: vụ mùa
- degradation: suy thoái, giảm chất lượng - fertilized: màu mỡ - careless: bất cẩn

Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2
5. Topic 5: Mobile phones are useful tools at schools. (điện thoại di động là công cụ hữu ích với việc học tập ở trường)
Firstly, they play the role of mobile office tools (1). We can use the apps on it to create text,
presentations slides and record necessary things everywhere in school, without the need of a computer.
Secondly, it enables us access the internet easily and quickly (2). We can search for information and
download materials as well as submit assignments easily and quickly, which is helpful for our studying.
Thirdly, they are great means of communication (3). Phone calls and text messages enables us to
keep in touch with friends, teachers and parents. Social networks which can be accessed with a
mobile phone are also great way to interact with people around.
Lastly, it’s a way to relax after the learning hours (4). We can use it to listen to music, taking
pictures, surf the webs or play games in the break time and reduce stress. * Vocab

học sinh nhiều lợi ích)
Firstly, it enhances knowledge and experience (1). We have chance to broaden our mind greatly
when we access a more advanced or specialized education abroad. (Also, the studying and living
environment in another country is different, which give us valuable experience about the culture of that country)
Secondly, it promotes career prospects (2). The training they get from a good education ensure they
can do their work well. With a degree as a proof for their enquired knowledge and skills, they can
have great job opportunities with much better salary.
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2
Thirdly, it fosters personal growth (3). Students learn to be independent, to overcome homesickness,
perfect their second languages and so on. These helps them improve themselves and become more well-rounded.

7. Topic 7: What kinds of factors will students consider when they choose housing? (yếu tố các bạn
sinh viên cần xem xét khi chọn nơi ở)
Firstly, students have more privacy (1). Unlike the shared space in the dormitory, they can be free
doing their own things without being afraid of being disturbed. Also, they don’t worry that someone
else will steal their own things.
Secondly, they are more independent (2). They can make their own decision on what to do with
their place. (In addition, if they live in an apartment, they will learn to deal with different
problems on their own, which will be helpful for them)
Thirdly, they have quieter studying conditions (3). When there is no one or only their roommate
around, they can really focus on working on their assignments and exams.
Lastly, they have more personal space (4). In the dormitory, there are often 4 to 8 students living in
a room, which makes it quite overcrowded. More space in the apartment means their life is more comfortable. * Vocab

8. Topic 8: Students should learn English. (sinh viên nên học Tiếng Anh)
In the first place, learning English creates a better job opportunity (1). More and more foreign
companies have their branch in Vietnam nowadays, therefore knowing English will be a great
strength to attract employers.
Moreover, by learning English, you can read the online documents (2). There are so many sources of
information written in English available on the Internet so that you can enrich your knowledge.
Another reason student should learn English is that they can also make more new friends from other
countries (3) apart from Vietnam. Through Facebook, Twitter and What apps, it is now very easy for
you to make friends with foreign people if you know English. As a result, your relationship network will be widened. * Vocab - branch: chi nhánh

9. Topic 9: Going swimming brings a number of benefits for people. (lợi ích của việc bơi lội)
First of all, sports are helpful for our health (1) and going swimming is not an exception. Swimming
which is a full body workout helps us keep fit. As we move many parts of our body like arms, legs,
head and so on, it helps us to burn calories and lose weight. (Swimming is sweat free. As a
swimmer, we never get overhead or feel sweaty because the water around us helps cool us down)
Moreover, going swimming is known to reduce stress (2). By concentrating on swimming, we have
no time to think of our stress and can relax after a hard day. We seem to forget all troubles or worries
as we are at the swimming pool.

you are outdoors, you can breathe new air, socialize with other people and take part in many
exciting activities such as doing sports, going on a picnic and so on.
Moreover, you can entertain/amuse yourself (2) by participating in team sports so that you can laugh and relax.
Another benefit of being outdoors is that they can improve their attention (3) through joining
outdoor activities. Team sports, as I mentioned before need a high concentration when playing
them. Without good attention, your team will lose the match and you easily get injured. * Vocab - socialize: giao lưu - attention: sự chú ý
- high concentration: sự tập trung cao độ - get injured: bị thương
11. Topic 11: Going camping is very beneficial to college students. (đi cắm trại có nhiều lợi ích với sinh viên)
First of all, it's good way to spend time with family or friends. (1) When we go camping, we often get
together with family and friends so we have a great time chatting, playing games and enjoying food and drinks.
Secondly, campsite is often in the countryside so we can enjoy fresh air and tranquil atmosphere (2).
People can be close to the nature with lakes, mountains, trees and flowers around them.
Another advantage of camping is that it can help us to reduce stress (3). It's true that we can escape
from the noise/ hustle and bustle of big cities and enjoy peace in mind. It is a time for us to refresh
and relax/ wind down after a hard day/let off steam.

To begin with, when we travel to other countries, we can refresh ourselves (1). Visiting a foreign
country means that we have to live in a brand-new environment, therefore we have to change
ourselves to adapt to it (weather, currency, language...)
Next, we can gain many experiences (2), too. When we come to tourist destinations and take part in
certain activities there such as going around, playing games, enjoying food and drinks, we can earn a
lot of precious experience.
Another benefit of visiting a foreign country is that it gives us a great chance for us to make new
friends (3). In a new environment, we have to communicate with people that don't say the same
language as we. You will have many new friends from many countries in the world and broaden our
relationship network. * Vocab

- change ourselves to adapt: thay đổi để thích nghi

13. Topic 13: Online learning is beneficial to students. (lợi ích của việc học online đối với sinh viên)
In the first place, online learning is very convenient (1). You know, students can study whenever and
wherever they want. Only with a mobile phone or computer connected to the Internet, can students
get access to a rich source of information on almost any subject.
Secondly, it is very affordable to study online (2). Well, students can do research using online
resources at very low cost or even at no charge.
Moreover, because students can study at their own place (3), they can save time and money to travel
to formal classes.
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2
Last but not least, online courses are more interesting thanks to the applications (4) of technology. It
is true that technology is a powerful tool to engage students. It can make students more involved in

14. Topic 14: There are some ways to improve the public transport system in Hanoi. (cách cải thiện

time should be fixed and easy for passengers to follow so that they can save their waiting time.
Next, it is important to develop more customer service such (2) as installing Wi-Fi on bus so that it
will attract more and more students and teenagers to use. Passengers should be treated politely on the bus.
Another way is offering more routes is necessary (3) at the present time. With the increase in
population and the number of private vehicles nowadays, more lanes for buses should be built so as
to reduce the waiting time of passengers. In this point, public transportation will become more popular in Hanoi. * Vocab - running time: giờ chạy

Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2
15. Topic 15: There are various causes of unemployment among the youth in the society. (nguyên
nhân giới trẻ bị thất nghiệp)
I would like to take into consideration first is overpopulation (1). The rate of overpopulation is still
high in the society, especially in poor countries like India or South Africa, which really struggles the
government in providing enough job opportunities for youngsters.
The second reason might be the lack of qualifications (2). Many students start to find jobs
immediately after high school without entering university. Therefore, they aren't qualified
enough for the employers to hire.
Moreover, the problem also lies in the poor performance (3) among the youth. Even though they have
university degree, they just focus on theory, therefore they lack of practical experience in work as well as the daily life. * Vocab
- rate of overpopulation: tỉ lệ tăng dân số
- struggle: gây nhiều khó khăn
- youngster: người trẻ
- entering university: đi học đại học
- qualified: đủ chất lượng, đủ chuyên môn
- practical experience: kinh nghiệm thực tiễn
16. Topic 16: Healthy breakfast is the best meal for your health. (bữa sáng là bữa ăn quan trọng nhất cho sức khỏe chúng ta)
In the first place, a healthy breakfast helps us to have a healthy body (1). Good food for breakfast
would provide us with enough energy for the morning. If we don't have sufficient breakfast, we will
suffer from vertigo and headache.
Moreover, it allows us to concentrate on our work or study better (2). Breakfast can improve memory
and concentration levels. Breakfast provides energy consumed all the night and therefore prepare
for our new working day better.
Another reason is that eating breakfast enables us to prevent some diseases (3). It is obvious that if
we don't eat breakfast, stomach has nothing to digest, which leads to stomach diseases and
sometimes even low blood sugar. (A proper breakfast ensures a healthy body so it helps us to stay away from illness) * Vocab
- sufficient breakfast: bữa sáng phù hợp
- vertigo: chóng mặt
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2 - headache: nhức đầu
- concentration level: khả năng tập trung - diseases: bệnh - stomach: dạ dày - digest: tiêu hóa
- low blood sugar: hạ đường huyết
17. Topic 17: Some benefits of living in the countryside. (lợi ích khi sống ở vùng quê)
Firstly, people living in the countryside can enjoy fresh air (1). It is because the rural areas have
many trees and the air is still not polluted by the act of industrialization. There are fewer factories and traffic here.
Secondly, the living cost in the countryside is lower than that of big cities (2). They pay lower fees
for all services and products. Besides, they often have a large garden where they grow their own
vegetables and raise their own chicken or pigs for food. (They can also buy cheaper products, pay for
less bills and transportation)
Another benefit is that neighbors are very friendly and helpful. (3). They often help each other, for
instance, look after the house when their neighbors are away from home or help when there are
wedding parties or funerals. (People may have truly friendly neighbors. Compared to the lonely life
style in urban areas that people only know themselves, rural residents care much about people
around them and it helps create a close-knit relationship between them) * Vocab - polluted: bị ô nhiễm
- act of industrialization: tác động của quá trình công nghiệp hóa
- low fees: chi phí thấp - funeral: đám ma
- urban area: vùng đô thị
- rural residents: dân ở quê
- close-knit relationship: mối quan hệ gắn bó
18. Topic 18: Benefits of watching films in the cinema. (lợi ích của đi xem phim ở rạp)
First and foremost, cinemagoers can watch movies with better sound quality and on larger screens
(1). Cinemas are often well equipped. Cinema owners invest much money in creating the best things
for the audience, and the sound is one of them.
Moreover, the cinema always has large screen which makes images become more lively, (2) it
attracts people's attention and concentration. It is possible to watch the latest movies which are
not shown on TV or elsewhere or might be on TV much later.
Speaking Part III + Writing – B1 B2
Thirdly, going to the cinema is a great chance for people to meet up with their friends and relatives
(3). They can chat with friends and relax after a working week. Hanging out to catch a flick and
taking pictures will be a memorable time for friends and parents. * Vocab
- cinemagoers: người đi xem phim
- well equipped: được trang bị tốt
- attract: thu hút, hấp dẫn - attention: sự chú ý
- concentration: sự tập trung

19. Topic 19: Reasons why cars should be banned in some areas in big cities. (xe ô tô nên bị cấm 1
vài khu vực trong các thành phố lớn)
Firstly, cars are one of the causes of pollution in big cities (1) because they emit harmful smoke into
the air which damages people's health and environment.
Secondly, streets in big cities like Hanoi are very small (2) and a large number of cars definitely
cause serious traffic jam especially in rush hours. So, it is not convenient for us to go home after a long hard day.
Another reason is that there is not enough parking space for cars in Hanoi (3). Therefore, we can see
that cars parked everywhere: on sidewalks, on roadways creating a chaotic view for the capital city. * Vocab

have to deal with such a large amount of work at one time.
The second reason is that workers have too much workload (2). Employees have to work long hours
or work overtime for such a long time. As a result, they feel exhausted. The problems also root from
managers who force their employees to deal with a mountain of work to earn more profit for the
