Young people should be encouraged to work or travel for a year between high

khuyến khích làm việc hoặc đi du lịch trong một năm từ khi tốt nghiệp trung
học đến khi học đại học.)
First, When they take a gap year and go to work or travel, they will become
more mature. They will have more knowledge from real life, and know how to

du lịch, họ sẽ trưởng thành hơn. Họ sẽ có thêm kiến thức từ thực tế cuộc

Secondly, both work and travel experiences help young people become more
mature. This provides life skills and improves self-confidence and self-reliance.
Moreover, young people may have a chance to improve their career
opportunities. Their practical skills in working, industry knowledge, and cultural and
environmental understanding make them competitive in the market.
Last but not least, by taking the time to explore their interests, passions, and
strengths, young people may make informed decisions when selecting a university major in the future.
In conclusion, taking a year off from school to travel or work brings benefits to young people.

học tập hiệu quả hơn, nâng cao triển vọng công việc và mang lại cho tôi lợi thế cạnh tranh.)

không ngoại lệ. Một trong những thách thức với tiếng Anh là ngữ pháp và cách phát
âm phức tạp. Tôi phải mất khá nhiều thời gian để luyện tập sử dụng thành thạo ngôn ngữ này.) Part 2:

shopping on a Sunday evening with my friends.

don’t have much money, just looking around stores is so interesting. Moreover,
going shopping helps me relax and forget my worries.
About seeing a movie, it is difficult to find a suitable film for us because my
friends and I have different interests in movies. So we cannot see a film together.

and my friends on a Sunday evening.
(Chà, nếu phải quyết định ba lựa chọn trên, tôi sẽ chọn đi mua sắm vào tối
Chủ nhật với bạn bè.

đến cửa hàng và mua một số thứ yêu thích như giày, quần áo, túi xách, v.v. Ngay cả
khi tôi không có nhiều tiền thì chỉ cần nhìn quanh các cửa hàng thôi cũng đã thấy thú
vị rồi. Hơn nữa, đi mua sắm giúp tôi thư giãn và quên đi những lo lắng.
Về việc xem phim, thật khó để tìm được một bộ phim phù hợp vì tôi và bạn bè
có sở thích khác nhau về phim ảnh. Vì thế chúng tôi không thể xem phim cùng nhau.
Tôi không chọn karaoke vì tôi hát không hay và không thích những nơi ồn ào.
Tóm lại, theo quan điểm của tôi, đi mua sắm là lựa chọn lý tưởng cho tôi và
bạn bè vào tối chủ nhật.) Part 3:

nghĩ đến việc tặng quà cho anh ấy; có ba lựa chọn: một chiếc máy tính xách tay, một
kỳ nghỉ hoặc một ít tiền. Bạn sẽ đề xuất lựa chọn nào?
⇒ I think a laptop is the best option. Firstly, I know that he doesn't have a laptop
or computer, so giving him one is very appropriate. Secondly, he can use it to
learn better, connect to the internet, and seek a lot of useful information.
As for a holiday, I don’t choose because it is expensive and takes a lot of time.
Besides, I don't choose some money because he can use it to buy unnecessary items.

Childhood is an important part of a person's life. Because through childhood people can develop in many aspects.
First, childhood helps to develop physical health. At this age, most of us like to play
with our friends, such as football, hide and seek, or jump rope. That makes our body grow healthier.
Second, childhood brings about an ability(khả năng) to learn things fast. In the time
between birth and age 6, just by playing some simple games, we can develop our
brains and expand our imagination.
Third, through this time, if we have good childhood experience, it will be one of the
factors that form better personalities. Bravery or patience... can be formed(hình
thành) at this period of time.
To sum up, childhood has many important roles in a person's life.

winter, just a few people go there.
● What makes a good park?
In my opinion, a good park must be large and have lots of trees to provide fresh air.
In addition, the government should install outdoor sports equipment in the park to encourage people to exercise. Part 2:
Situation: Your friend's class is discussing whether they should take photo to
celebrate graduation. They are considering three options: taking photos with
formal clothes, taking with informal clothes, or taking no photo at all. Which do you think is the best choice?
Tình huống: Lớp bạn của bạn đang thảo luận xem có nên chụp ảnh kỷ niệm lễ tốt
nghiệp hay không. Họ đang cân nhắc ba lựa chọn: chụp ảnh với trang phục trang
trọng, chụp ảnh với trang phục bình thường hoặc không chụp ảnh gì cả. Bạn nghĩ
cái nào là sự lựa chọn tốt nhất?
=> I think formal clothes are the best choice.
The formal clothes not only make a photograph friendly but also the solidarity
(đoàn kết) of the collective.
About taking photos in informal clothes, I don’t choose because informal clothes
only make an individual unique. I reliably ignore the option of taking no photos
at all. Graduation is a significant anniversary at the end of a student’s school life. It`s
a pity if my friend’s class doesn’t do something to keep the memorable moments.
In short, wearing formal clothes is the final choice. Part 3:

⇒ Taking photos is one of the hobbies that many people have. Because it brings value to human life.
First, taking photos is a way to save memories. For example, if you have a birthday
party with your friend, you would want to capture that moment(khoảnh khắc) to not
forget about it. Then you can take your phone or camera and take a photo, and that moment is saved.
Second, taking photos is a good hobby that helps to reduce stress. When taking
photos, you must focus on the object to get the perfect picture. So you don’t have
time to think about other problems. And it also makes your state(tâm trạng) better
when you see the photos you take.
Third, taking pictures can also improve your imagination. Many beautiful photos
come from very simple things, such as a road, a house, or a plant. But with the way
the photo taker sees it, it creates a picture with an attractive vibe.
To sum up, taking photos brings value to human life.

I prefer writing emails because it's faster and more convenient than letters.

Situation: You have seen your neighbor's son playing computer game at the

Tình huống: Bạn đã nhiều lần chứng kiến con trai hàng xóm chơi game trên máy
tính ở quán Internet. Bạn sẽ làm gì: báo cho bố mẹ anh ấy, nói chuyện với anh ấy
hay nói chuyện với chủ cửa hàng?
=> I think I will inform his parents. They will have several ways to manage their son,
such as cutting his pocket money and putting him under control. Besides, he spends
a lot of time with his parents, so they have a much stronger impact than everybody, including himself.
About talking to him, maybe he speaks one way and acts another. It is easy for
him to change the Internet shop and he can continue to play more and more.
I don’t choose to talk to the shop because I believe that they won’t care about it.
In short, informing his parents is the best choice. Part 3:
