high school and sat next to each other. She has a small figure, black hair, and white skin. She rarely talks to
strangers, but she is very open and chatty with people she knows. When I have problems in life, she always
encourages me and gives me helpful advice to help me overcome it. When I am sick, she always copies
notes for me, takes care of me, and buys food for me. Throughout the preparation for the university

brings us support and love. This makes us feel happy and safe. Third, having a job that we enjoy is also a

things at the same time. Another activity I really like is watching movies. I love romantic films because

good neighbor is someone who is friendly and helpful. First, a good neighbor should be kind. They
often greet you with a smile and say hello. This makes everyone feel welcome and happy. Second, a good
neighbor is helpful. If you need assistance, they are there to lend a hand. For example, they can help you
carry groceries or watch your house when you are away. Another important quality is respect. A good

community rules and take care of their property, which makes the neighborhood look nice. Good
communication is also key. A good neighbor talks to you if there are any problems, like noise or parking lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
issues. They listen to your concerns and try to find a solution together. Overall, a good neighbor creates a
friendly and safe environment, making the neighborhood a better place for everyone UNIT 3:
1. A news story that interests you
One news story that interests me is about climate change and its effects on our planet. Recently, scientists
reported that the ice in the Arctic is melting very quickly. This is a serious issue because when the ice melts, it
causes the sea levels to rise. Higher sea levels can lead to flooding in many cities near the coast.Many people
are concerned about this situation. To help, some countries are working together to reduce pollution and find
new energy sources. They are trying to use clean energy, like solar panels and wind turbines, instead of fossil
fuels. These clean energy sources do not harm the environment and can help stop climate change.This news
story makes me think about what I can do to help the Earth. Simple actions, like recycling, using less plastic,
and planting trees, can make a big difference. I believe that if everyone takes small steps, we can protect our
planet for future generations. This story reminds us that we all need to care for our environment to have a better and healthier future.
2. Updating news (Ways you keep up to date with what’s happening in the world, what topics interest you)
I like to stay updated with what is happening in the world. One way I do this is by reading news online. I often
visit websites that provide news about different topics, like science, health, and the environment. I enjoy
learning about new discoveries and how they can help us in our daily lives.Another way I keep up with the
news is through social media. I follow news pages on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. They share
interesting stories and videos that catch my attention.I also listen to podcasts about current events while I am
studying or relaxing. This helps me learn more about topics that interest me, like climate change and
technology. Keeping up with the news is important because it helps me understand the world better. I believe
that knowing what is happening can help us make good decisions in our lives. I try to stay informed so I can
talk about these topics with my friends and family. UNIT 4:
1. Your favorite restaurant
My favorite restaurant is called Beef King. It is located in Ba Dinh, and I love going there with my family and
friends. The restaurant is known for its delicious beef dishes. My favorite meal is the beef steak. It is cooked
perfectly and served with tasty French fries. I also enjoy their fresh salads, which are very healthy.The
atmosphere in the restaurant is friendly and cozy. The staff is always nice and helpful. They greet us with
smiles and make us feel welcome. I like sitting by the window, where I can see the busy street outside while I
eat.Sometimes, I go to Beef King to celebrate special occasions, like birthdays or good exam results. The food
makes me happy, and I love spending time there with people I care about. I think it is a great place to enjoy
good food and create wonderful memories with family and friends.
2. Ways to become healthy
There are many ways to become healthy, and it is important to take care of our bodies. First, eating a balanced
diet is very important. This means eating a variety of foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean
proteins. Drinking plenty of water every day also helps keep our bodies hydrated.Second, regular exercise is
essential for good health. It is recommended to be active for at least 30 minutes a day. This can be anything
from walking, jogging, cycling, or playing sports. Exercise helps us stay fit and gives us more energy. Another
important way to be healthy is to get enough sleep. Adults need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Good
sleep helps our bodies recover and keeps our minds sharp.Lastly, managing stress is also crucial for our health.
Taking time to relax, meditate, or spend time with friends and family can help reduce stress. By following
these simple steps, we can live healthier and happier lives. 3. Eating out lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
Eating out is a fun way to enjoy different types of food. There are many places to choose from, like street food
stalls and barbecue buffets. Street food is very popular because it is quick and tasty. You can find many
yummy snacks, such as grilled skewers, spring rolls, and fresh fruits. Eating these foods while walking on the
street is exciting.On the other hand, barbecue buffets let you grill your own food. You can pick different meats,
vegetables, and sauces. Cooking at the table is fun because you can see the food cooking and smell the
delicious flavors. You can enjoy the food while chatting with family or friends.Eating out is not just about the
food; it is also about the experience. Trying new dishes makes every meal special. I love exploring new places
and tasting different flavors. Overall, eating out is a great way to relax and enjoy good food with others or by yourself. UNIT 5: 1. Your future dreams

love cats because they are cute(ciu t), fun, and make people happy. This is why I want to help them stay

My hometown and favorite city is Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. It is the largest economic, cultural, and
political center in the country. Hanoi has many tall buildings and shopping malls, but it can also be very
crowded and often has traffic jams. The weather in Hanoi changes with the seasons. In spring, the air is
fresh and mild weather, summer is hot, autumn is cool and pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities; and
winter is cooler.In the mornings, I love to walk around Hoan Kiem Lake. It is peaceful and beautiful. I also
enjoy eating bun cha, a delicious local dish. There are many interesting places to visit, like Ho Chi Minh
Mausoleum, Long Bien Bridge, West Lake, Thang Long Citadel.Each place tells a story about the city’s
history. Hanoi has a lot to offer, from tasty food to beautiful sights, and I always feel happy to be here. This

An ideal family has several important parts that help it be happy and strong. First, love and care are very
important. Each person in the family should feel loved and valued. Good communication is also necessary.
Family members should talk openly about their feelings and problems so they can understand each other
better. Trust is another key part; everyone should feel safe sharing their thoughts with each other. Spending
time together, like having meals or doing fun activities, helps family members grow closer. Respect is very
important, too. Each person should listen to each other’s opinions and differences. Being flexible is also
helpful because life can change quickly, and families need to work together through challenges. Lastly,
supporting each other’s goals is vital. Encouraging each other’s dreams helps create a positive environment.

3. Advice to improve English learning
To improve your English learning, there are several useful tips you can follow. First, practice every day.
Even just 15 minutes of reading, writing, or speaking can help you get better. Try to read English books,
articles, or listen to music and podcasts. This will help you learn new words and understand how the
language works. Another great way to improve is to speak with others. Find a language partner or join a
language group where you can practice speaking English. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; they are part of
learning. Watching movies or TV shows in English can also help you understand the language better and
improve your listening skills. Use a notebook to write down new words and phrases, and review them
regularly. Lastly, set clear goals for yourself. For example, you could aim to learn five new words a week.

4. Things to wear (what are smart clothes, what are casual clothes, what should we wear in winter and in
summer; what should we wear for a job interview, for a party, for a beach holiday and going to school)
Choosing the right clothes for different occasions is important. Smart clothes are typically formal and
polished, like suits, dress shirts, and nice dresses. We wear these for special events, job interviews, or
important meetings. Casual clothes are more relaxed and comfortable, such as jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers.
These are great for everyday activities, like hanging out with friends or going to school.In winter, we
should wear warm clothes like jackets, sweaters, and boots to keep cozy in the cold. In summer, light
clothes such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals are perfect for staying cool. For a job interview, it is best to
wear smart clothes to make a good impression. For a party, you can wear something stylish and fun,
depending on the theme. When going to the beach, a swimsuit, flip-flops, and a sun hat are great choices.
Dressing appropriately for each occasion helps us feel confident and comfortable. UNIT 9:
1. One of your favourite movies
"3 Idiots" is one of my favorite movies. "3 Idiots" is a funny and heartwarming movie from India. The story
follows three friends, Ranchoddas, Farhan, and Raju, who study at an engineering college. They face many
challenges in their studies and personal lives. Ranchoddas, known as Rancho, is very smart and thinks
differently. He encourages his friends to follow their dreams instead of just doing what others expect.
Farhan wants to be a photographer, but his father wants him to be an engineer. Raju struggles with his lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
studies and family pressure. Throughout the movie, they learn important lessons about friendship, love, and
the true meaning of success. The film is not just about studying; it also shows the importance of happiness
and being true to yourself. After watching "3 Idiots," I learned that it is important to pursue what makes me
happy and to not be afraid to be different. It reminds me that real success is about finding joy in what I do
and supporting my friends along the way.

inspires us to think positively and to find joy in simple things, like spending time with family or enjoying

3.A story you can remember from your childhood
One story I remember from my childhood is about a day I went to catch grasshoppers with my friend. It was a
hot afternoon, and we were very excited. We went to the fields near my house, looking for grasshoppers to feed
the birds. We ran around, laughing and trying to catch them in our hands. Suddenly, I saw a big grasshopper and
ran quickly to catch it. But I did not see a ditch in front of me. I tripped and fell into the ditch! I was surprised
and wet, but my friend helped me get out. We both laughed at what happened. Even though I was muddy, I was
happy because we had fun together. After that, we continued to catch grasshoppers and took them home for the
birds. This day was special because it showed me how fun adventures with friends can be, even when things do not go as planned! UNIT 10:
1. Pros and cons of social networking sites like Facebook or Instagram, etc.
Social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram have both good and bad sides. One of the main
benefits is that they help people stay connected. Friends and family can easily share pictures, messages, and
news, even if they are far away. These sites can also help people make new friends and join groups with
similar hobbies. However, there are some problems. Sometimes, people spend too much time online and
miss real-life experiences.. Social media can also make people feel bad, like jealousy or sadness, when they
compare their lives to others. Another issue is privacy, as personal information can be shared without
permission. In summary, while social networking sites have many good things, we need to use them
carefully and make sure we also enjoy time with family and friends in real life. Knowing both the good and
bad sides can help us have fun on social media while staying happy and safe.
2. Pros and cons of using mobile phone
Using a mobile phone has both good and bad sides. One big advantage is that it helps us stay connected
with family and friends. We can call, text, or video chat anytime, no matter where we are. Mobile phones
also give us access to the internet, so we can search for information, watch videos, or use social media.
However, there are some problems with using phones. People can spend too much time on their phones and
not pay attention to what's happening around them. This can make them feel tired or stressed. Also, using a
phone too much can hurt our eyes and make it hard to sleep. Another issue is that personal information can
be shared or stolen if we are not careful. In conclusion, mobile phones are useful, but we should use them in
a smart way and take breaks to enjoy real life.
3. The most important invention
The internet is one of the most important inventions in the world. It has changed the way people
communicate, learn, and work. With the internet, we can easily send messages, make video calls, and share
information with others, no matter where they are. It helps students find information for school projects,
and workers can complete tasks from home or anywhere with an internet connection.. The internet also
allows us to shop online, watch movies, and listen to music whenever we want. Many businesses use the
internet to sell products and reach more customers and provide services to people worldwide. Without it,
the world would be slower, and many things we enjoy today would not be possible. The internet connects lOMoAR cPSD| 59908026
everyone and makes life easier, faster, and more fun. This is why it is considered one of the greatest inventions of all time. UNIT 11:
1. An old friend you want to meet again
An old friend I really want to meet again is Van Anh, who is the same age as me. We met in high school
and sat next to each other. She has a petite figure, black hair, and fair skin. She rarely talks to strangers, but
she is very open and chatty with people she knows. When I face problems in life, she always encourages
me and gives me helpful advice to help me get through them. When I am sick, she always copies notes for
me, takes care of me, and buys food for me. Throughout the preparation for the university entrance exam,
we always studied hard and encouraged each other to do our best to achieve the best results. Currently, she
and I do not attend the same university, but we still keep in touch. I really miss her and hope to meet her
again soon. She is truly an amazing friend.
2. Studying English (how long have you been learning English, which skill you find the most
fascinating, what benefits of learning good English and suggest ways to improve English) I have been
studying English for 12 years. During this time, I have found that speaking is the most fascinating skill. I
enjoy having conversations and expressing my thoughts in English. Learning good English brings many
benefits. It helps me communicate with people from different countries and understand their cultures. Good
English is also important for my studies and future job opportunities. Many companies look for employees
who can speak English well. To improve my English, I suggest a few ways. First, I practice speaking with
friends or online partners. This helps me gain confidence. Second, I watch movies and listen to music in
English to learn new words and phrases. Finally, I read books or articles to improve my vocabulary and
grammar. By using these methods, I believe I can become even better at English and enjoy the learning
process more.( unit 8 cách cải thiện tiếng anh ) UNIT 12:

and we were very excited. We went to the fields near my house, looking for grasshoppers to feed the birds. We
ran around, laughing and trying to catch them in our hands. Suddenly, I saw a big grasshopper and ran quickly
to catch it. But I did not see a ditch in front of me. I tripped and fell into the ditch! I was surprised and wet, but
my friend helped me get out. We both laughed at what happened. Even though I was muddy, I was happy
because we had fun together. After that, we continued to catch grasshoppers and took them home for the birds.

grasshopper catching again soon!
3. Your plans after leaving university
After leaving university, I have clear plans for my future. First, I want to find a job in an office. I believe this will
help me use the skills I learned in school and gain important work experience. I hope to work in a friendly
environment where I can learn from my colleagues.In addition to my job, I want to learn Chinese. I think learning
this language will be very helpful for my career because many people speak it, especially in business. Knowing
Chinese can help me communicate with more people and understand different cultures better.To achieve this, I plan
to take Chinese classes and practice speaking with friends who know the language. I will also use apps and online
resources to improve my skills. Overall, I am excited about my plans after university. I look forward to starting my
career, learning Chinese, and meeting new people, which will help me grow personally and professionally.
