very interested in one programs for the younger called “Who is the billionaire?” This program’s format is
that one player need to answer all fifteen questions to be a winner and receive the prize up to 100 million
Vietnam Dong. “Who is the billionaire?” is very useful because it provides me with a lot of knowledge in
many aspects of life. I watch TV about one hour every day when I have dinner with my family and before

Viet Nam is a country with 54 ethnic minority groups so there are so many festivals throughout
the year. However, most festivals take place after TET holiday which is the most important
festival of Kinh group. TET festival, which is also called Lular New Year Festival often falls
between late January and early February; it is among the most important holidays in Vietnam.
Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese
people often spend about nearly a month to celebrate this special event. It is to thank Gods for
the arrival of spring with a variety of blooming trees and flowers after a cold and harsh winter.
Many activities are organized to celebrate the festival. Many kind of traditional food are made to
welcomethe festival. I recommend you go to Vietnam on the TET festival to learn about our
culture. I will take you around to see the festival.

Dear …..,
I am very happy to hear that you will visit my hometown. It is very far from the airport to my home. You
have to get off the plane at Noi Bai airport in Ha Noi. You can go to Thai Nguyen by taxi, car, or bus. It
takes about two hours. The bus is very cheap, but you will have to catch 3 trips. Taxi is the most
convenient way. However, you have to pay more for a taxi than a car. I think moving by car is most
suitable for you.
About the weather, it is autumn here, so you should bring summer clothes. My country is tropical
climate, It is always hotter than yours.
Hope to see you.
Yours!
Bài làm 2:
Dear Natalie,
I’m really glad that you would come to stay with me next month. When you get out the
airport’s lobby, take a taxi to the centre of the city. My apartment is in a big building
opposite to the Vincom Center on Ba Trieu street. I live in room 507 on the 5th floor, so just
take the elevator in the lobby. I you have any problem finding the, please call me. To get to
my place, you can take a taxi or use the public city bus, which is the means of tranport. It
takes about 45 minutes to move from the airport tothe city downtown by taxi and maybe 1
hour by bus, and the buses seem to be quite crowded all the day. Anyway, you have to pay
only 5 thousand. So taxi is expensive, isn’t it? You don’t have to bring a lot of warm clother
to Vietnam, because the winter of this year hasn’t year been very cold.

he ought to learn something of the language before he comes, which seems like a
good idea. He’s bought a “Teach Yourself” book on the language, but we were
wondering if you had any other suggestions which would help him. It’s quite a
while since he studied a language at school, so he’d also be really grateful for
some general tips on learning a language.

Dear …….,
Teaching English in Vietnam is a great job, but your son will have many troubles of language
difference. He shoul spend time learning Vietnamese by many ways. “Teach yourself”book is a
good way, but I think take part in a course where he can improve communication. Speaking and
listening are very important skills for his daily life in a foreign contry. Some overseas students
have to eat bread for a long time because of language barriers. Try to practice more and more he
can. Why doesn’t he come and live with my family some weeks. He will have chace to interact
with Vietnameses, we can help him familiar with new life here. Believe me, it is the best way.
Write me back and tell me your mind.

Bài làm:
Dear Mrs. Nora White,
Thanks for your reflection. Firstly, I am really sorry about your dissatisfaction. In that day when we
organize the ski trip, the weather is not really good, so we have to cut down some activities. The plan
chanced because of objective reason. Moreover, most of students are 10 years old, too adventurous lesson
will make them scare. The second thing – accommodation – is our mistake. We order the hostel too late, it
is out of good rooms. We have to choose the cheap ones. We will pay back student some accommodation
money. We sorry about this dissatisfaction once more time. We will learn from experience for next time.
Yours faithful!

Bài làm 2:
Dear Ms White,
First, let me apologise for any disappointment your son experienced on our ski trip. It is true
that there were several concerns. Since we had been led to believe by the company that there
would be sufficient slopes for both beginners and advanced skiers, we were extremely upset
when this turned out to not to be the case. It was also unfortunate that lack of snow meant
that artificial snow had to be used instead.
As for the question of lessons, if you look at the letter we sent you, you will see that only five
one-hour lessons were included in the price and that extra hours would have to be paid for
separately.
In relation to accommodation, I am not quite sure what you are referring to. I know that in one
room there were not enough beds but this was not the case in your son's room.
We would like to assure you that we take all complaints seriously. We have already decided
that next year we will change the company and the location for our trip and we hope that your
son will consider joining us again.
Yours sincerely,

are always here for you.
We still talk about you whenever we meet. Tom sometime reminded us about your jokes with Richard.
We all agree that we had such an amazing summer when you stayed in our city.
Do you know how famous are Tom and Eddie getting now? Hardly did I see them around me due to the
fact that they have a live tour through 6 cities in our countries. I am so pleased that they succeed in
making their dreams come true.
Next week, Richard and Anna are going to visit Paris- the most romantic city in the world. Hearing them
sharing about their one-week travelling, I am so jealous with them. About Ruth, unfortunately, she did not
get a place in the museum. However, she never gives up. We all know that and I believe she can make it.

It’s great to hear from you. Vietnam is a beautiful country where you could see lots of wonderful

touring round in The Old Quarter, eating traditional foods along the streets, visiting some famous places
of interest such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Mot Cot Pagoda, and Temple of Literature. You can travel by bike
with the help of Google Maps, but travelling by motorbike taxi is also a good idea for you. Don’t worry

Dear Anne,

I am really pleased to get your letter and get to know that you are going to visit our country next year.
Well, the best time to visit my country is during the summer, from April to June. Since this is the
beginning of the summer, the weather is extremely nice. It seems sunny all the time and temperature is
around 35 degree. In addition, the best way in order for you to meet people aged from 17 to 18 is in
Hanoi. As you know, Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam which is the most modern and busiest city in
Vietnam. You can easily find young people everywhere, especially in famous places where tourists often
visit such as Hoan Kiem Lake or old quarters. They like hanging out with their friends to find foreigners
to practice English. I am sure that you are welcomed by the people of my own age who are very sociable
and hospitable.
I suggest that you should not bring too much stuff because you can buy them in Vietnam where there are
a variety of high-quality clothes at very reasonable price. If you prefer bringing your own things, my
suggestion is summer clothes like shorts, tank top, skirt, swimsuits.
I have my summer holiday in May so I will be available to travel around with you. I will be your free tour
guide, taking you to visit our stunning Hanoi as well as the most attractive beaches and places in Vietnam.
I promise you will really enjoy your trip in our country.
I look forward to welcoming you in Vietnam.

also been wondering what we could all buy as a present. What do you think?
Could you come the day before the party to help with preparations? There's a lot to
plan so I'd really like your help. Can you suggest something else that will really
make the party special?
All for now, best wishes,

Dear Maggie
I am so happy to receive your letter.
I am willing to help you organize a special party for Rupert. I am sure that it will be an
unforgettable memory with him. I think holding a party at home is a great choice to have
a cozy atmosphere. I know your house is quite small, so you should invite up to 20 closest
friends and relatives. Besides, you should hold a garden party so that everyone can try
barbecue while dancing.

Hi John,
It has been a long time since our last writing when you start studying for the university
entrance exam. First of all, congratulating on passing your important exam with such a
great result that deserves your effort. Gift from parents is always a wonderful motivation
for us to get the outstanding performance for any exam and finally you can successfully
achieve it and now, the happiest moment is thinking of how to use that amount of money
wisely. With 1000 USD, If I were you, computer would be the first thing I want to spend
18
money on because it is an indispensable device supporting you the most during your
school year because your major is information technology. The second thing is you
should also buy some new clothes to be ready to become a freshman with the most
cheering mood ever when going to school. However, It will be better you can have a
good plan of spending money to make sure that after that there is still a small amount of
money for saving up for your future.
Hope that you and your family will have much fun and best decisions in these days.
Best regards,

Dear ….
I was glad to receive your letter. It’s really great that you did well in your test and your
parents let you spend the money to splash out on something really special..
As for me, I would neither get a new computer nor some new clothes. You know your
computer is still good. You should have a new one when you enter university. And
Christmas is coming so you can get some new clothes then. Do you think about spending
your money on a trip? Going to somewhere else and taking part in some our door
activities or exploring nature would be great. It will not only help you relax but you can
also gain some new experiences.
Well, I must finish now as I’ve got my aerobics class. Take care and stay in touch!

letter.
My friends and I are going to a sports camp in the mountains in July. We’d love you
to join us there.
We can play tennis, hockey, football, basketball and other sports. We can stay in rooms or
sleep in tents. Which would you prefer? We’ll cook together in the evenings. Is there
something special from your county that you could cook?

city. What would you like to do before we go to the camp?
Write soon.

Hi Robin,
Glad to hear that from you. It’s great for me to join you and your friends.
I would like to choose tents, since we’re going to a sports camp aren’t we? So it should
be more interesting to merge yourself in the nature, enjoying fresh air and everything the
city couldn’t provide us. And it must be very promisingly exciting to explore your
country’s natural beauty, being in a different climate from my hometown.
Also, there’re some traditional dishes of my country I could bring to the camp too! Keep
waiting and I’ll surprise you all.
Last but not least, I prefer to arrive some days in advance so I could take some rest after a
long flight, and maybe getting to know somewhat about your city and Canada right?
If there is anything you want to tell me, just write. I’m looking forward to the trip.

Viet Nam is a country with 54 ethnic minority groups so there are so many festivals throughout

festival of Kinh group. TET festival, which is also called Lular New Year Festival often falls
between late January and early February; it is among the most important holidays in Vietnam.
Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese
people often spend about nearly a month to celebrate this special event. It is to thank Gods for
the arrival of spring with a variety of blooming trees and flowers after a cold and harsh winter.

I am very happy to hear that you will visit my hometown. It is very far from the airport to my home. You
have to get off the plane at Noi Bai airport in Ha Noi. You can go to Thai Nguyen by taxi, car, or bus. It
takes about two hours. The bus is very cheap, but you will have to catch 3 trips. Taxi is the most
convenient way. However, you have to pay more for a taxi than a car. I think moving by car is most suitable for you.
About the weather, it is autumn here, so you should bring summer clothes. My country is tropical
climate, It is always hotter than yours. Hope to see you. Yours! Bài làm 2: Dear Natalie,
I’m really glad that you would come to stay with me next month. When you get out the

take the elevator in the lobby. I you have any problem finding the, please call me. To get to
my place, you can take a taxi or use the public city bus, which is the means of tranport. It
takes about 45 minutes to move from the airport tothe city downtown by taxi and maybe 1
hour by bus, and the buses seem to be quite crowded all the day. Anyway, you have to pay
only 5 thousand. So taxi is expensive, isn’t it? You don’t have to bring a lot of warm clother

listening are very important skills for his daily life in a foreign contry. Some overseas students
have to eat bread for a long time because of language barriers. Try to practice more and more he
can. Why doesn’t he come and live with my family some weeks. He will have chace to interact

Thanks for your reflection. Firstly, I am really sorry about your dissatisfaction. In that day when we
organize the ski trip, the weather is not really good, so we have to cut down some activities. The plan
chanced because of objective reason. Moreover, most of students are 10 years old, too adventurous lesson
will make them scare. The second thing – accommodation – is our mistake. We order the hostel too late, it
is out of good rooms. We have to choose the cheap ones. We will pay back student some accommodation
money. We sorry about this dissatisfaction once more time. We will learn from experience for next time. Yours faithful! 9 Bài làm 2: Dear Ms White,
First, let me apologise for any disappointment your son experienced on our ski trip. It is true
that there were several concerns. Since we had been led to believe by the company that there
would be sufficient slopes for both beginners and advanced skiers, we were extremely upset
when this turned out to not to be the case. It was also unfortunate that lack of snow meant
that artificial snow had to be used instead.
As for the question of lessons, if you look at the letter we sent you, you will see that only five
one-hour lessons were included in the price and that extra hours would have to be paid for separately.
In relation to accommodation, I am not quite sure what you are referring to. I know that in one
room there were not enough beds but this was not the case in your son's room.
We would like to assure you that we take all complaints seriously. We have already decided
that next year we will change the company and the location for our trip and we hope that your
son will consider joining us again. Yours sincerely, WRITING TEST 9

Do you know how famous are Tom and Eddie getting now? Hardly did I see them around me due to the
fact that they have a live tour through 6 cities in our countries. I am so pleased that they succeed in making their dreams come true.

touring round in The Old Quarter, eating traditional foods along the streets, visiting some famous places

An English friend of yours, Anne, is a student. She has written to you asking for advice. Read part of her letter below.
We’d love to know when best time of year to visit your country. Also, we want to meet
people of our own age (17-18). What’s the best way to do this?
We don’t want to carry too much stuff, so can you tell us what clothes we should bring?
And while we are there, would you like to join our group and travel round with us? I think it would be great fun? Bài làm: Dear Anne, 15
I am really pleased to get your letter and get to know that you are going to visit our country next year.
Well, the best time to visit my country is during the summer, from April to June. Since this is the
beginning of the summer, the weather is extremely nice. It seems sunny all the time and temperature is
around 35 degree. In addition, the best way in order for you to meet people aged from 17 to 18 is in
Hanoi. As you know, Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam which is the most modern and busiest city in
Vietnam. You can easily find young people everywhere, especially in famous places where tourists often
visit such as Hoan Kiem Lake or old quarters. They like hanging out with their friends to find foreigners
to practice English. I am sure that you are welcomed by the people of my own age who are very sociable and hospitable.
I suggest that you should not bring too much stuff because you can buy them in Vietnam where there are
a variety of high-quality clothes at very reasonable price. If you prefer bringing your own things, my
suggestion is summer clothes like shorts, tank top, skirt, swimsuits.
I have my summer holiday in May so I will be available to travel around with you. I will be your free tour
guide, taking you to visit our stunning Hanoi as well as the most attractive beaches and places in Vietnam.
I promise you will really enjoy your trip in our country.
I look forward to welcoming you in Vietnam. Love,

Your Scottish friend, Maggie, has sent you an email asking you to help her organize a special
surprise birthday party for her brother Rupert. Read Maggie’s email.
We must make sure that Rupert doesn't know we are planning this surprise.
I'm not sure how many people to invite but our house is definitely too small. Do you
think we should book the Royal hotel for the evening and have the party there? I've
also been wondering what we could all buy as a present. What do you think?
Could you come the day before the party to help with preparations? There's a lot to
plan so I'd really like your help. Can you suggest something else that will really make the party special? All for now, best wishes, Maggie

I am so happy to receive your letter.
I am willing to help you organize a special party for Rupert. I am sure that it will be an
unforgettable memory with him. I think holding a party at home is a great choice to have
a cozy atmosphere. I know your house is quite small, so you should invite up to 20 closest
friends and relatives. Besides, you should hold a garden party so that everyone can try barbecue while dancing.
About birthday present, I suggest giving him an e-bike. He will study at high school soon,
so an e-bike is really necessary for him to go to school more easily.
I feel so excited right now. I will come to your house the day before.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon. WRITING TEST 14 TASK 1

Guess what? My parents have given me some money for passing my exam, so I can

or saving up a bit more and getting come clothes. Which do you think would be better?
And can you suggest what exactly I should get?

It has been a long time since our last writing when you start studying for the university
entrance exam. First of all, congratulating on passing your important exam with such a
great result that deserves your effort. Gift from parents is always a wonderful motivation
for us to get the outstanding performance for any exam and finally you can successfully
achieve it and now, the happiest moment is thinking of how to use that amount of money
wisely. With 1000 USD, If I were you, computer would be the first thing I want to spend 17
money on because it is an indispensable device supporting you the most during your
school year because your major is information technology. The second thing is you
should also buy some new clothes to be ready to become a freshman with the most
cheering mood ever when going to school. However, It will be better you can have a
good plan of spending money to make sure that after that there is still a small amount of
money for saving up for your future.
Hope that you and your family will have much fun and best decisions in these days. Best regards, Bài làm 2: Dear ….
I was glad to receive your letter. It’s really great that you did well in your test and your
parents let you spend the money to splash out on something really special..
As for me, I would neither get a new computer nor some new clothes. You know your
computer is still good. You should have a new one when you enter university. And
Christmas is coming so you can get some new clothes then. Do you think about spending
your money on a trip? Going to somewhere else and taking part in some our door
activities or exploring nature would be great. It will not only help you relax but you can
also gain some new experiences.
Well, I must finish now as I’ve got my aerobics class. Take care and stay in touch! Love, WRITING TEST 15 TASK 1

You are planning to visit your friend Robin in Canada. Robin has written to you. Read Robin’s letter.
My friends and I are going to a sports camp in the mountains in July. We’d love you to join us there.
We can play tennis, hockey, football, basketball and other sports. We can stay in rooms or
sleep in tents. Which would you prefer? We’ll cook together in the evenings. Is there
something special from your county that you could cook?
You could fly over to Canada a few days before the sports camp and stay with me here in the
city. What would you like to do before we go to the camp? Write soon. Robin

Glad to hear that from you. It’s great for me to join you and your friends.
I would like to choose tents, since we’re going to a sports camp aren’t we? So it should
be more interesting to merge yourself in the nature, enjoying fresh air and everything the
city couldn’t provide us. And it must be very promisingly exciting to explore your
country’s natural beauty, being in a different climate from my hometown.
Also, there’re some traditional dishes of my country I could bring to the camp too! Keep
waiting and I’ll surprise you all.
Last but not least, I prefer to arrive some days in advance so I could take some rest after a
long flight, and maybe getting to know somewhat about your city and Canada right?
If there is anything you want to tell me, just write. I’m looking forward to the trip. WRITING TEST 16
