I have a wonderful family with 4 members. Each member has our characters but we are
very compatible and have a special connection with each member. Let’s introduce a little
bit about members of my family. The first is about my father, he’s a math teacher in high
school. He is kind, so all of his students and colleagues love him so much. The second is
about my mother, she is a housewife. My mother is a pretty woman with a warm heart,
she always takes care of all the members of the family so she is one of the women that I
love most. And the next member is my sister. She is a Junior at Medical University. She is
the one with whom I usually share my secret. She is also the one who gives me some
useful advice whenever I have a problem. My family is really important to me because
they are my firm support, they give me love, happiness, and energy and home is the place
where I want to return to the most no matter where I go. 2A.1
I remember that I saved a lot of money to buy a new brand phone that I very like. It was
brilliant because of its design and features and it was one of the most high-tech mobile
phones at that time. So I decided to save money to buy it. I cut off my pocket money even
my breakfast for 6 months and I saved about 5 million VND. It was not enough to buy it
but with my father’s help, I finally bought it. I knew that the money that I saved was not
too big but I felt happy because I could buy the thing that I like with my effort and I was proud of it. 2A.2
Nikola Tesla is one of the famous figures that I admire most. He was a Serbian American
electrical engineer, inventor, physicist, and mechanical engineer. He is best known for his
contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system. He
is really smart and full of patience. Even though had a lot of failures, he never gave up
and tried all of his best to complete his creation. I admire him because I can see some
positive energy from him like never giving up when I meet something difficult to do and
always chasing my dream. I study from him that not thing is impossible it just depends on
the percentage that I put in the effort. If I had a chance to meet him, I would like to come
and shake hands with him, say that I admire him and want to become someone like him. 2B.1
Many people help others as part of their professional role and they are always willing to
help with no complaint. And today, I’ll tell you about the person I know who I believe
has helped a lot of people. She is one of my best friends whom I trust in most. I met her
nearly 14 years ago when we were in nursery school. To be honest, the first day I met her,
I felt impressed with her because of her beauty, her smartness, and especially her kind
heart which is always willing to help other people. She is the one who always gives the
best advice to us when we have some issue and whenever she hears that her friends have
many problems she is always on their side and help them to find the best solution she can.
And she also takes part in some social activities to make the environment clean and
makes funds to help poor children. She is an important part of my life, I love and admire
her very much. And I will try to become a person who has a warm heart like her. 2B.2
One of the exciting experiences that I remember most is when I had a chance to use a real
gun when I attended the shooting class with my father when I was 10 years old. It
happened on a short trip with my father’s company to Phu Quoc. After visiting some
beautiful sceneries, we had some interesting activities like catching fish, making fish
sauce, driving a canoe, and especially was try shooting a real gun. It was the first time
that I can hold a real gun, it was a little bit heavy so I had my father’s help to keep it
balanced. This activity was exciting for me because the feeling when I hold the gun,
aimed, and shot in the board was so strange that I never tried before. And this activity
happened when I had a wonderful trip with my father and his colleagues so it was impressed me a lot. 3A.1
I think the most common form of public transport in my city is the bus. It is a big long
vehicle which can contain 30 people. In my city, people use the bus too much to go to
school, work, or even travel. Although the bus is helpful and easy to use, I rarely use it. I
just use the bus in some special situations like when my motorbike breaks down or when
I have to come to a far place that I can’t drive to. I think that the bus is one of the best
transport to use in the city because it can contain a lot of people that help to reduce
vehicles in the street so it can diminish more traffic jams and exhaust smoke. But the
reason I don’t like is that in rush hour, have many people use the bus so I have to elbow
others out to use it, it’s really hot and in such a small space like that it is a good condition
for a pickpocket. So I’m not like to use the bus too much. 3A.2
Traffic laws are in place to ensure the safety of vehicles, passengers, drivers, and other
people. Today, I would like to talk about one of the traffic laws in my country which I
know and admire. The law that I am talking about is the “Drunk Driving Law”. This law
prohibits drivers to drive a vehicle when they are under the influence of alcohol or any
other drugs. I always follow this law because I feel that this is such an important law to
reduce more accidents. Because all over the world traffic accidents are predominantly
caused by driving under alcohol and drug influence. If this law were not in place, the
outcome would be more catastrophic. This law prevents many accidents and damages on
the road, so it is easy to understand the importance of it to save many people’s lives and ensure safety on the road. 3B.1
From back then and now, many people still think that women need to spend more time
doing domestic jobs like cooking, cleaning, and looking after children. Besides, men
involve in some productive work outside the home to earn a living. Generally, people say
that women can be better parents than men, but I think that both women and men can do
it well and especially if the man and woman can help each other to run the household
chores, it will be better. In the modern, traditional gender role are gradually changing
because the difference between the number of time men and women spend on housework
is getting smaller every year. This means that both men and women are sharing domestic
chores equally. And I think that in the future, not only men can do productive work
outside the home, but women can do it well too, and the difference between men’s-
between swears and women’s roles are not too big anymore. 3B.2
Generally, men always carry out some jobs which required more strength, complication,
and danger than women. In the past, women just carry out household chores and it is
more difficult for them to find a job than men. But everything gradually changes, we can
see that men and women are equally good at all jobs, women can do men’s jobs as well as
they can and vice versa. Nevertheless, many people are still influenced by some
stereotypes, especially when they happened in the workplace. It causes a lot of problems
like sexism, unfair job distribution, and unemployed. To end it, we can fight occupational
gender stereotypes like we need to raise everybody’s awareness of sexism, join forces for
equal education and try to improve our self-esteem. 4A.1
After a lot of effort, I finally learned to manage a suitable time for my life. It’s is difficult
to learn because I have to try to change all of my bad habits and manage new good
routines. It’s not taken my time but also requires a lot of effort. At first, I set a new strict
timetable and made myself do exactly like that, I almost cut off my free time to study or
do exercises instead of playing games. I’m very tired because I’m not used to doing new
routines, I nearly messed everything up and it made my life’s more complicated. But after
nearly 3 months of non-stop effort, I finally can manage my time more suitably. I could
do it thanks to the help of my friends who always be by my side when I get stuck under
stress because of a new strict routine and I’m so proud of myself because I have enough
patience and effort to achieve the goal 4A.2
English is one of my favorite subjects when I was still a primary student so spend a lot of
time studying English. During the long way of studying English, I have accumulated
some tips to learn English better. First, building my vocabulary, I practice working on
building my vocabulary every day by choosing new words to learn and repeating each
word over and over to make me remember this word longer. Second, speaking English
day by day, I don’t need to spend much time speaking English, maybe I just need 5 or 10
minutes a day to practice speaking English, it not only helps me improve my
pronunciation but also help me be more confident, be confidence is very essential
because it is the key to be sound natural. And the last, studying English when watching
films, cartoons, or TV shows. Hearing and watching characters in films and TV shows
can help my English skills immensely, I can pick up on visual cues from the characters,
like their facial expression or their tones. In all of these tips, I think the second tip is the
best tip and easy to put into practice, you can practice speaking Eng with a lot of people
like your friends, your parents or also a foreign people you may meet on the stress.
Sometimes, I also attend some online English classes and take some tests available for all
the people on social media to improve my English. 4B.1
I’m a big fan of Apple so I always chose the product from Apple to be my partner. That is
the reason why all of my phones which I use was iPhone. I have just changed my iPhone
8 to iPhone 11 for 3 months. My phone is one of the important things in my life because
it is the best way for me to connect with other people, release stress, save all of my
beautiful pictures, and also the place where I keep all of my documents. I use my phone
every day and I usually spend 6 or 7 hours a day using the phone. When I use the phone, I
rarely set my phone to silent mode because I never want to miss any important call or
information, especially an email from my teacher. When I use the phone in some public
places, I don’t want to annoy anybody around me so I usually turn down my phone’s
ringtone, and I think that we shouldn’t talk loud when we have a phone call, especially in
a public place because it can make everybody feel uncomfortable. 4B.2
A person who has a good manner is always the one who gets more love from other
people. Good manners are an important thing to have in our life because it shows that we
are courteous to other people. It helps us to develop our relationship and make us more
enjoyable to be around. So we need to have some tips to be more courteous and show that
we have a good manner in all situations. When we greet people, try to be polite and
happy when we meet them and actively introduce ourselves by name when we meet
someone for the first time, and one of the important things we need to remember is that
don’t use our cellphone too much when we are in a greeting. And on some occasions, like
we are invited to someone’s house we need to bring or send a gift for the host and always
be adaptable, on the next day, we should send a handwritten thank-you note to express
our gratefulness. Or when we are in the class, we should take responsibility for our
education, be friendly with our classmates and respect our instructor. And especially on
social networking sites, this is a complicated environment that affects us too much so we
need to be polite and do not show up ourselves too much. Avoid writing bad comments,
using faux pas in sentences, and posting depraved content. 5A.1
Sport is one of the important parts of my life, I usually play sports with my friends or my
family, and the sport that I like most is badminton. I have started playing badminton
when I was still a secondary student. I often play badminton two times a week to keep my
body fit and relax after having tiring classes. Badminton is one of the best ways for me to
release stress, when I played badminton I almost drop all of my weariness down and I
also have a chance to meet my friends and have a wonderful playground with them. I
used to have a dream to attend a badminton contest in my city but after an accident with
my heel so I have to give up this dream, but I always have a great passion for this sport. 5A.2
I will never forget the day when I was got lost when I was on the way to go back home
after having a class at school. I remember that this happened when I was in grade 9. Like
every normal day, I and my friend intended to go home on the familiar road. But
somehow we decided to take a shortcut that we had never gone before . Each of us was
confident and believed that we couldn’t get lost so we were just on the right way and
went straight ahead. After 5 minutes, we started to get panic because we couldn’t the right
way to get out of there, we were so scared and one of my friends started to cry which
made me more nervous. Fortunately, we met a kind woman who told us the right
direction to get out. After that, we promise that we will never go on the strange road
which we haven’t known before. And this is such a great memory of when I was a student
but also the most embarrassed moment in my life because of my overload confidence. 5B.1
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with advertising programs on TV. During the time my
parents watched films or TV shows, I cried a lot because I wanted to watch advertising
programs instead of films or TV shows like other people. My mother was too tired that
she usually deluded me to go to sleep before she watched films. My father also found a
CD about advertising for me but it was impossible. Because, at this time, the internet and
digital technology did not progress yet. My parents were nervous about me and they
thought that I was sick, but when I grew up I was not addicted to advertising programs
anymore. I don’t know why I was like that and whenever I hear my mother remind me of
this memory I just feel shame as myself. 5B.2
I have a close friend whom I'm most appreciative of and treat her like one of my
member's families. I met her when we studied in nursery school, we had a chance to
study in the same class, to talk and play together so we create a tough relationship until
now. We've known each other for nearly 14 years so I can understand clearly about her.
She is a pretty girl with short black hair and beautiful brown eyes. She is an optimistic
and kind person so she usually gives me positive energy. We have many things in
common like music, films, food, etc…At this time, because of the pandemic, we can’t
meet each other often, maybe it just 3 or 4 times a month so I miss her so much. I want to
become someone like her, always happy and full of energy. She is an important part of
my life which I don't wanna lose. And I just want to say that I love and admire her too much.
