CHỦ ĐỀ 1

Situation 1: You have decided to improve your English, and you are considering which
option would be the great one for your English learing
Option 1: Registering for a short-term English course about 6-12 months in foreign
countries.
2. Taking up English courses at prestigious English centers in the country
3. Purchasing courses from popular English learning website or applications
- Well, to be honest. If I want to improve my English, I will choose to take up English
courses at prestigious English centers in my country. I think that it is more suitable than
the other option, just because.

+ The first, at prestigious English centers provide me with diverse courses with different
levels so I can be flexible to choose to meet my level proficiency and demands.

+ Next, if I learn in English center, I will not only get a good syllabus, good quality but
also flexible schedules.The final, because English center is located in my country so it is
easy to go to the center to learn. /əˈbɔːd/

- For option 1, registering /ˈredʒ.ɪ.stər/ for a short-term English course about 6-12
months in foreign coutries. Although I can approach /əˈprəʊtʃ/many people so I can
speak English more fluently and my pronunciation can improve quickly. However,, high
tuition fee and daily expenses /ɪkˈspens/ when studying abroad and the important thing is
that I don’t wanna live away from family.

- Purchasing courses from popular English learning websites or applications. I never used
to think this option because, firstly I think it’s more suitable for a highly self conscious /
ˈkɒn.ʃəs/ person, not me And I see that some good website require high fee.
Therefore, taking up English courses at prestigious English centers in the country is my
best choice.
TOPIC 1: There are some challenges of studying abroad.
 Financal problem.
 Experience culture shocks
 Language barrier
 Accommodation
If one is planning to study abroad, they will face some challenges as follows;
 Firstly, they must face financial problems, normally we have to pay a lot of money
for tuition fees at university or college. In addition, the cost of living, such as food,
daily expenses, the accommodation also is higher than in VietNam. So overseas
students often work and study at the same time in order to earn money, however,
sometimes, this affects their learning if they don’t know how to balance.
 Secondly, every overseas student has to deal with in the beginning is cultural
differences. Every country has a different culture, so you will have to adapt /ə
ˈdæpt/to a new life. Should learn about the country you decide to study in so you
don't get culture shock. In a foreign country, it’s easy to feel homesick when
everything around you is so unfamiliar /ʌn.fəˈmɪl.i.ər/,
 Next, one of the most common challenges of studying abroad is the language
barrier /ˈbær.i.ər/ . Despite studying abroad is an excellent opportunity to learn a
new language, you may initially /ɪˈnɪʃ.əl.i/ have some problems with language
barriers. This is especially happening at the beginning when you need to arrange
/əˈreɪndʒ/things like a bank account and accommodation.
 Finally, searching for accommodation. which is appropriate /əˈprəʊ.pri.ət/for
your financial conditions, near your school location may be a big problem for you
at the beginning because you don’t know clearly the area and you have language
barriers.

thích đi du học hoặc du lịch nước nào, vì sao?

 I love to travel and study in Australia because I often use my phone for entertainment.
One time I watched tiktok I saw a video of Duong Pham, she is a Vietnamese who went
to study in Australia. she makes videos sharing about daily life in Australia and I find it
very interesting and want to learn about this country. another reason is that the climate in
Australia is quite similar to Vietnam so I think it will be easier to live for me.

 As I said before, finding a part-time job to do while studying abroad can affect your
studies. it can make you too tired or don't have time to focus on studying, causing bad
study results. But working part-time also has significant benefits, so in my opinion
depending on the time you have, if your study time is quite idle then you should get a
part-time job to do. If your schedule is too busy or too tight, you should not work part-
time

trường mới, nhờ sự giúp đỡ của ai?

 Problems that international students may face, such as changing living environment,
climate change, not having friends and relatives next to them, language barriers. During
this time, international students should go out to have fun, make new friends and call
home to share their new life in another country.
chuẩn bị gì trước khi đi du học?

 When we study abroad or travel, we need to prepare a lot of things such as luggage,
exchange our country's currency for money in the country we will study. Besides, you
also need to prepare knowledge about the culture in that country, this is also a respect
for the country you study in. and the most important thing I think is that we need to
prepare a necessary vocabulary to be able to communicate with people.

bạn sẽ đi làm trong nước hay tiếp tục ra nước ngoài để du học sau khi tốt nghiệp?

 I think after studying abroad, I will come back to Vietnam and work in the country. VN is
my hometown. After going abroad to learn many things like their work experience,
advanced technology, I want to bring what I learned back to my country and apply it to
create value. something for Vietnam because I love this country so much. And I think
international students should also go back to their hometown to work to contribute to the
development of the homeland where we were born and raised.

bạn nghĩ du học sinh nên ở lại hay về nước sau khi đi du học xong? vì sao?

 I think it depends on each person. Some people will want to go back to the country to
work in their homeland, some people will like to stay abroad to continue working
because of the high salary. Personally, I think international students should return home
to work because firstly, they will be close to their families. Secondly, it is extremely
meaningful to learn advanced things and then return to the homeland where they were
born and raised to help the country develop.

theo bạn nên cố gắng học để kiếm tiền học bổng hay tự đi làm để kiếm tiền khi đi du
học?

 In my opinion, the most important thing for students as well as international students is
to study, learning is always put at the top of priority. So international students should
study hard to earn money for scholarships. it both helps you reduce the burden of costs,
and is a spiritual gift for your hard work.

CHỦ ĐỀ 2
Situation 2: You will have a problem situation and three options. You will choose the best
option and explain the reason.
- Situation: You have applied for several job positions and received some offers from
employers. You are considering which option would be the great job offer.
There are three options:
1. A stable job with upper income, but you must work for night shifts or holidays
2. A favorite job with middle income, but you usually have business travels.
3. A desk job with lower income, but you only work for 4 days a week.
 If I need to find a good job to do when I just graduated from university and I
received some offers from employers I would like to do a desk job with lower
income, but I only work for 4 days a week. I choose it because:
 Firstly, working in a desk job only 4 days a week doesn’t under pressure like O1
and O2. It makes me feel more relaxed and comfortable. It helps me spend more
time with family and friends.
 Finally, In my free time, I learn something to prepare for my future career or run
my own business to better my finances. I plan to open a bakery in the future
besides learning how to bake, learning how to manage my store. I can learn more
skills, learning photography, and editing videos.
 I don’t choose O1 because Although this is a job with a high salary, however it's
very stressful and because of the night shift it will be bad for my health.
 I don’t choose O2 because traveling for business is tiring and don’t have much
time to take care of myself and my family. The salary isn’t too high, so it’s
difficult to achieve financial freedom.
=> So some reasons make me choose a desk job with lower income, but I only
work for 4 days a week.
Topic 2:
I think there are some main reason for moving to the city of young people
 Firstly, I think normally, young people move to the city to look for better study
opportunities. Because, there are many universities and colleges in the city, and
learning conditions are better than in countryside. And they also wanna their
children to receive a good education and have a great environment to develop
many aspect. In the future.
 Secondly, Many young adults /ˈæd.ʌlt/ go to cities to find opportunities ˌɒp.ə
ˈtʃuː.nə.ti/ for themselves, In VN, The city is a symbol /ˈsɪm.bəl/ of luxury and
wealth /welθ/, it means we can easily find jobs in different professions /prə
ˈfeʃ.ən/. there are many large and small companies, therefor the chaces of getting a
good job will be better than in the countryside.
 The next reason is that in cities have many things for young people to enjoy. There
are a lot of entertaiment centers like malls or shops. So, they will ad/ your fashion
and mind quickly. Moreover, after a day working hard or if they feel stressed,
cities will provide to them with solutions to release the stress and tired.
 Young people are enthusiasm people, they always want to discover new things and
there is available in the city to discover. Example, if your happy is art, there are
more hundreds of art museums in city for you discover. You can’t do this in the
countryside.
 Liking all I mentioned above. It clears why young people wanna live in city. It’s
not only good for themselves but also good for the development of society.

câu hỏi Topic 2.

or the city?)

Personally, i think student should learn in the city, because learning condition in cites are
better than in the countryside the school library in the city is more modern . Schools in the city
have more modern libraries and practice rooms than in the countryside Student can learn in a

Lợi thế khi sống ở thành thị.

In my opinion, living in a city has some advantages as follows: first, it provides us with many
employment opportunities to increase income, people feel easy to find a suitable job. In
addition, the quality of life in cities is much better than in rural areas. A modern city with a full
range of services for the people. More and more entertainment centers, commercial centers,
hospitals and schools are built. It means that people's health is better and their needs for
entertainment are better

Bringing up the chidren ở Tp hay nông thôn

Way your hometown… Quê bạn sẽ ntn trong 20 năm tới.

More schools and hospitaals will be built

I imagine my hometown will be very different 20 years from now. One thing is for sure, it will be
much more modern than it is now. There will be more high-rise buildings, bigger and more
beautiful roads, more entertainment centers, hospitals, and universities. I think the air in my
hometown in the future will be more polluted because of the presence of more factories. But no
matter how it changes, that's where I was grew up so I'll still love my hometown.

Actually, the Logistics major I am studying is very developed in the city, so when I graduate, I
plan to work in the city. However, when I'm old, if I have a chance I want to go back to my
hometown or somewhere in the suburbs to live. I will buy a house and a small garden in a cool
place to live and grow vegetables. it would be great to enjoy old age in such a place

Now that I am a student, so whenever I have the opportunity to return to my hometown, I simply
help my family with housework. Actually, the Logistics major I am studying is very developed in
the city, so when I graduate from school, I plan to go to the city to work. And one thing I am
sure I will do when I return to my hometown to live is to find a small garden to grow vegetables.

Lợi ích rural with urban area

Some of the advantages of living in the countryside over the city are

Firstly: It is a quiet and peaceful place. There are a lot of plant species so the air and the food
are fresh and clean. We can enjoy a healthy natural condition without worrying much about
environmental pollution.

living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you can buy many things at lower
price

CHỦ ĐỀ 3
Situation 3: you have just moved to a big city for further education. You are considering
which option would be the great one for a living place
There are three options:
1. Living in a college dorm
2. Living in a single room/ house for rent
3. Living in a relative or a friend’s house

If I move to a big city for further education, I will choose living in a college dorm. I have
some reason for my choice.
Firstly, I will save much money when I live in college dorm, because renting college
dorm is cheap and normally, college dorm will be located on the campus of the school or
located near the school so I also sava on travel expenses. it’s convenient for travelling
without being late for school.
Secondly, it’s safe /seɪf/ to live in a college dorm, All dormitories /ˈdɔː.mɪ.tər.i/have
security guards /ɡɑːd/ and are equipped with external equipment such as cameras /
ˈkæm.rə/, lockers /ˈlɒk.ər/ , etc. Most hostels /ˈhɒs.təl/ have a set time limit for entry /
ˈen.tri/ and exit. /ˈek.sɪt/
I don’t choose living in a house for rent, because I will live in the same area with a lot of
strangers so I think security is not guaranteed /ˌɡærənˈtiːd/, the property can be lost
And the cost of living is high when I live in a motel . beside, paying for rents and meals
there are more costs incurred /ɪnˈkɜːr/ such as garbage cost, if I have a motobike, I must
pay extra /ˈek.strə/ for parking.
I don’t choose option 3, living in a relative or a friend’s house. Because I am easy to
lack of independence. Any problems that happen in my life will be solved by relative so
grudually, I don’t know how to slove the problems, easily depend on others.
And personally, I feel uncomfortable when live in relative or friend’s house. Because i
feel lack of privacy /ˈprɪv.ə.si/, I can’t invite my friend to go to play, I also can’t talk to
my friends comfortably on the phone.
TOPIC 3: Online learning is really beneficial to students
 Increas the flexible
 Saving( money, time, effort)
 Increase learners autonomy self discipline
 Your ideas
Studying is no longer slow down by geographical /ˌdʒi.əˈɡræf.ɪ.kəl/ distance. Thanks
to develop of technology we can study online. There are some benefits of online learning.

The first benefit is you can be flexible place to study. Because, when you learn online, the
school doesn’t regulate /ˈreɡ.jə.leɪt/ the learning space /speɪs/ so you can study wherever
suitable for you: we can learn in a coffee shop, in the library or if you turn off the camera
you even in your bed.

The second, leaern will save a lot of things if online learning : such as money, time,
effort. in the morning,if you live away from the school, you will not effort to get up early
to prepare for going to shool, you also don’t worry being late for shool. The only thing
you need to do is turn on our computer or your phone and join the lesson. you can spend
this time for your favourite or doing somethings. If you live away form the school so
you will save much money for travel expenses, parking costs,..
The next, it helps increase learners autonomy /ɔːˈtɒn.ə.mi/ self discipline ˈdɪs.ə.plɪn/.
you can be flexible place and time when you learn online so you can be influcenced by
many things around , this affects to your lesson. Gradually, you will not understand the
lesson well. To prevent this happens, learners need to master himself or herself ,…as a
result, you will be more active in learning

The final, learners keep up with the pace of study. Thanks to develop of technology,
learners easy record the lesson so if they don’t understand about the lesson, they can
watch it again and again instead of only being able to listen to the lecture once when
learning fact to face. and conection between teachers and learners is also easier, because
there are a lot of students in the class, so when learning directly, the attention of teacher
will be less than when online learning.

Một vài cách để mọi người tập trung khi hoc online
I have some tip to help you concentrate when online learning , firstly, turn off the phone and keep it
away from your location. This helps you avoid using social media while studying.

Sencondly, you should choose quiet places to study such as study in a library in you bedroom avoid going
to cafes, the noise of the café makes you don’t focus on your lesson

Thích học onl hay off?

 Actually, in my mind, I still want to learn more directly because When learning face-
to-face, we can interact directly with the teacher, the teacher will control your
learning more closely when learning online. In addition, learning directly will have
more opportunities to communicate with friends, create more relationships. When we
study online, we can cheat in exams, but when we study directly, everyone's learning
results are recorded more accurately and objectively.

CHỦ ĐỀ 4
Situation 4: You are going on a holiday and stay for three nights in a tourist destination.
You are considering which option would be a great place for staying
There are three option:
1. A spare room in a local person’s house
2. A privately rented apartment with full facilities
3. A hotel or motel room
Well, if I am going on holiday and stay for three nights, I will choose to rent a hotel or
motel room. I have some reason for my choice.
Firstly, I can get a good service and high quality. Normally, the hotel will accept bookings
rooms on their website so I can advoi the case that there are no rooms available when. In
big hotels, besides the room rental service, there is also a gym, spa, book room,k,
swimming pool to serve tourists and the hotel will servethe meals for you.
Secondly, it’s safe when staying a hotel, because. All hotel has security guards and are
equipped with cameras and fire protection system. This makes you feel safe, especially,
when you travel alone
I don’t choose to spare room in a local person’s house. Because I feel lack of freedom and
comfortable. there are general rules of the owners, for instance, you are limited time for
entry and exit the house, not allow using somthing
I don’t choose to rent a apartment with full facilities because i must myself served.
Because there is no service staff at apartment like in hotels so Firstly, I have to carry my
luggage to my room, secondly, I will have to cook for my meals if I don’t eat outside and
clean the room. I travel to enjoy, to take a break from work and study so I don’t like
doing that.
Topic 4: Watching TV is not always good leisure activity for children. Why?
Nowdays, many children spend a lot of time sitting in front of a televison or sedentary /
ˈsed.ən.tər.i/ screen time because it’s fun and engaging /ɪnˈɡeɪ.dʒɪŋ/. Besides its
benefits, I think this is also hamrful to children.
Firstly, it’s not good the children’s health. When you regulate your eyes too much, you
feel a eyestrain and Spending more 4 hours per day watching TV or using media is a
cause of sightedness and overweight.
Secondly, watching television for longer durations can limit physical activities. Children
tend to watch TV instead of playing outside or doing sports, and so this is leading to an
increase in childhood obesity. /əʊˈbiː.sə.ti/
the next, another effect is more time spent time online entertainment activities, it means
less time for other social avtivities. They will rarely hang out with their friends. And this
would lead to social isolation which affects their lives laters.

Watching TV for many hours can be addictive, and so can hurt their ability to concertrate
on their homework or a book later on. So even if the content that they watch is suitable
but wacthing it for too long can be harmful to a child.
In shorts, watching tv can bring children many benefits, but sometimes it ca be bad
thinsg for their health and activites.

 TV is not always bad for children, if children are controlled by parents to watch
TV with the right time and programs, it will help children entertain very well.
Besides, many programs also encourage children to study very well, for example,
who is smarter than a 5th grader? When I was a kid, I loved watching that show. I
see that the students in grades 3, 4, and 5 are doing very well, so I take that as a
goal to try to study. As we get older, there are programs like the road to Olympia
or the Teen School that also encourage us to study.

độ tuổi nào đối với trẻ xem tivi là xấu? độ tuổi nào tốt?
 I think children should not watch movies when they are too young. In case the
child is too young, about 3-5 years old, parents can choose a gentle singing and
animation program for the child to watch. The age from 6-13 years old is when
children start primary school, the brain is gradually perfecting and absorbing
knowledge, so children should not watch TV, at that time children still can't really
distinguish which program is good, which program is bad, it can harm you. over
14 is the right age for children to watch TV on their own because then some
children already know which programs are harmful to avoid.

 (If we do not have a television set, we can still update the news or entertainment
in various means, such as: cách truyền thống: radio, báo chí,...; Because of the
development of modern technology, I can also access information using modern
means, such as telephones, computers.)

phần lớn trẻ em xem tivi cho việc học hay giải trí?
 Most children watch TV for entertainment, I rarely see children watching TV for
learning. Most people watch TV for entertainment and I am one of them. For
learning, children often choose laptops or computers instead of televisions,
because there are very few programs on TV that provide learning knowledge for
children.

tác hại lớn nhất khi xem tv đối với trẻ?


 The most harm is not good for the children's health. As you know that
electromagnetic waves are harmful to our health especially children. Their bodies
are not fully developed yet so it can cause many illnesses. For example, the
experts said that watching TV too much may make children obese because they
don't spend more time exercising. Besides that, it also makes children's structure
brain be damaged.

 Programs suitable for children are entertainment programs for children such as:

watching that show. I see that the students in grades 3, 4, and 5 are doing very
well, so I take that as a goal to try to study. As we get older, there are programs
like the road to Olympia or the Teen School that also encourage us to study.

let them watch them on apps for kids like Youtube Kids.

How is the watching TV habit change for children nowaday compared to children
in the past?
 Today children are spending much more time watching TV compared to the past.
One of the main reasons behind this issue is the recent advancements in
technology in the gaming and film industries. In the past, when the economy was
still poor, our children had to go to the neighbor's house to watch TV because we
didn't have a television. Today, everyone uses smartphones and televisions, so
we can see each child using their own television to watch.

CHỦ ĐỀ 5
Situation 5: You are going to make a surprise for your mom and that’s is her 60 th birthday.
You are looking for a nice gift for this special occasion.
There are three options:
1. A ticket to music live show
2. A warn party at her favorite restaurant
3. A handmade birthday cake
I imagine, if I am going to organize a birthday party for my mother, I will make a
hamdmade birthday cake because of following reason.
Firstly, a handmade birthday cake is the most meaning gift and it is unique in the worl,
because it’s filled with my love for my mom, it helps me show my sincerity and caring. A
handmade birtday cake can make a big subrise for her
Seconly, I can afford to make it. Because the cost of ingredients /ɪnˈɡriː.di.ənt/ to make
a cake is not as expensive as buying a ticket to music or eating at a resturant. I only need
to buy some eggs, all purpose flour /flaʊər and some fruit to decor.
I don’t choose to buy a ticket to music live show as a gift for my mother because you
know, that places is very crowded and nosiy with a lot of people so it’s not good for my
mother’s brain and also she doesn’t like kinds of places like that.
I think a warm party at her favorite restaurant is aslo a good idea. However, it costs a lot
of money, and I can’t afford to pay for it because I am a students. And I think it isn’t
especially because I can invite my mom to restuarent at any free time.
Topic 5: what should students do to increase opportunities of getting a job after
graduation?
Personally, students should do things follow to increase opportunities of getting a job
after graduation.
Firstly, THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR. Beside learning well about their major at
school, they should attend a recruitment ri cút mân rɪˈkruːt.mənt/event or workshop. It
can open up job options and offer them the chance to touch base with a number of
potential employers. Meeting with recruiters offers them a chance to ask question and
expand their knowledge about their job.
SHOULD JOIN SCHOOL CLUBS IN COLLEGE. This is a great way to meet new
people and these relationships are one of the big advantages for students because on day,
these friends may introduce them to other helpful contacts or help them find a great job
and if the club they join relates to their future profession, it looks great on your resume.
/rɪˈzjuːm/
BUILD UP SOME CORE SKILLS that employers seek in candidates like how to
describe their skills on their CV, get communication abilities or problem- solving skills.
These things will help them to get a job easily.
LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE. Vietnam is in the process of integrating with the
world, so beside your mother tongue /tʌŋ/, having another language will make a more
impression on employers and also give them a chance to get a job with foreign companies
and I am sure the salary of foreign companies is high.

Situation 6: You just graduated from university and would like to do something during a
gap year before looking for a job. You are considering which option would be the great
opportunity for your gap year.
There are three options.
1. Joining an international volunteering organization and doing some volunteer work.
2. Applying to work for international camp jobs or internships
3. Taking an adventure travel to somewhere in the world.

Well, I think I will join an international volunteering organization /ˌɔː.ɡən.aɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/


and doing some volunteer work because of the following reasons:
- I feel happy when I make contributions /ˌkɒn.trɪˈbjuː.ʃən/ to society and create
value for life. I uesd to see /ˈɪm.ɪdʒ/ images of African people lacking food
and clean water, very thin children because of lack nutrition /njuːˈtrɪʃ.ən/
through TV and the internet I feel they are so poor, or images of bare /beər/
forests because of deforestation /diːˌfɒr.ɪˈsteɪ.ʃən/ and forest fires so I think I
need to take action to help people and protect the enviroment.
- I have a chance to try something new. Going to a new place so I have a

TOPIC 6: To some extent, people suppose that the disadvantages of technological devices
outweigh their advantages. What are some disadvantages of technological devices?
Some people say that the appearance of new technological /ˌtek.nəˈlɒdʒ.ɪ.kəl/ improvements
brings many benefits for every person all over the world, however, it also has some obvious
disadvantages

Firstly, people who devote a large amount of time to video games or screen time activities are
more likely to suffer from various /ˈveə.ri.əs/ health problems, especially for their eyes such as
eye strain, short-sightedness. electronic devices will make their eyes tired and become
weaker and weaker.

Secondly, Spending too much time on technological devices can limit physical activities;
People tend to play games, watch TV, or work on the Internet instead of playing out the site or
doing sports. And so this is leading to the increase in Obesity /əʊˈbiː.sə.ti in many people.

Thirdly, digital devices can make people less time for social activities For example, many
young people choose to make friends online rather than hanging out with their peers in the
real world and so this can lead to social isolation which seriously affects or their later lives.

Finally, using technological devices for many hours can be addictive /əˈdɪk.tɪv/ , like with
modern smartphones, they can play games and surf their favorite social media platforms such
as Facebook, Twitter, Youtubet so then can hurt the ability to concentrate on anything
To sum up, technology still be negavetive effect on people's activities and health if they can't
control how they use.

Situation 7:
You plan to craft a special dinner for your partner and you are considering what to do
There are three options:
1. Going to a restaurant and enjoying authentic local foods
2. Buying some food in grocery stores and prepare a special meal
3. Strolling around street food stalls and savor some fast foods or snacks
If I have to a plan to craft /krɑːft/ a special dinner for my partner, I will prepare a
special meal. I think that is my best choise because of the following reason:
Firstly, I think dinner for my partner will be more meaningful if this is made by my own
hand and can show my sincerity /sɪnˈser.ə.ti/and caring. This handmade special meal
can make a surprise for her.
Secondly, I can make a special meal with healthier ingredients /ɪnˈɡriː.di.ənt/. When I
cook at home, I am in control, I know exactly which ingredients and how much of each
are going into our food, I can make many dishes which are good for our health. And
also eating homemade foods is usually much cheaper than eating at a restaurant
Going to a restaurant and enjoying authentic /ɔːˈθen.tɪk/ local foods is also a good idea.
However, eating in a restaurant could be risky and especially, expensive. Because of
being a student, I can’T afford /əˈfɔːd/ to have it.
I don't choose to stroll đi dạo /strəʊl/ around street food stalls /stɔːl/and savor /
ˈseɪ.vɚ/some fast foods or snacks because many prepared foods are high in fat, salt,
and sugar so it may be not good for us.
In shorts, Buying some food and prepare a special meal is my great choice because it
helps me show my sincerity, save money and have a healthier meal.
Topic 7:
Social /ˈsəʊ.ʃəl/ networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have
become an important part of our everyday life. Because there are many Reasons for
Supporting Social Media Using.
Firstly, it can be a great place for people to meet new friends and keep in touch with
people more easily. By using social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or
Instagram, you know, with access /ˈæk.ses/to the Internet, people these days can
contact their acquaintances /əˈkweɪn.təns/ through chat boxes whenever and wherever
they are,
Secondly, people also use social media to share ideas, their thoughts, and information
with articles, news, images, videos among /əˈmʌŋ/ the communities /kəˈmjuː.nə.ti
instantly /ˈɪn.stənt.li/. And so these things can also keep them updated with information
or the new post on their social media and then widen their horizon. /həˈraɪ.zən
Thirdly, they use these websites to fill up their /speər/spare time. For example, many
of them spend their free time chatting with people on Messenger, watch short Tik Tok
videos for entertaining, this can make them feel relaxed and happy after a hard day.

Finally, business people also use it to interact /ˌɪn.təˈrækt/without meeting each other.
Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when
communication was limited so interactions by email, phone, or video are almost as good
as face-to-face meetings.
To sum up, there are many reasons for using these social media like to share opinions,
keep in touch, or for entertainment.

1. bạn có nghĩ mn phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào các ptien truyền thông? nếu có thì
điểm mạnh, điểm yếu của nó là gì?

 I agree with the point of view that nowadays people rely too much on the media.
Because of the development of technology, the media is more and more popular
and has many users. Depending on media also has good sides like I said earlier,
besides it also has many bad sides such as: people are becoming more and
more lazy and affecting their health. There is a lot of information in the media and
it is difficult for people to realize fake information.

SITUATION 8: Your University organizes a campaign with different activities to
raise students’ awareness of animal protection. You are considering what you
should do.
There are three options:
1. Adopting a homeless dog or cat at pet caring centers
2. Selling handmade souvenirs or baked products to donate for animal
conservation areas
3. Participating in sea animal drawing or photographing contest
I think Participating in a sea animal drawing /ˈdrɔː.ɪŋ/ or photographing contest /
ˈkɒn.test/ is the great one because of the following reasons:
- it's easy to implement /ˈɪm.plɪ.ment/and can create a useful playground for the
students. By organizing /ˈɔː.ɡən.aɪz/ a competition, students will be interested in
participating so this can improve students' skills and knowledge about animals.
- Students will actively /ˈæk.tɪv.li/ learn about animals to successfully complete
their contest. And so, having a positive impact on the process of education, , and
contributing to making Vietnamese students more responsible with global issues.
+ adopting a homeless dog or cat at pet caring centers: Not everyone can afford to
adopt a pet because they often require specific living requirements and This will
be very difficult ifْ they're allergic /əˈlɜː.dʒɪk/ to animal hair.
+ Selling handmade souvenirs or baked products to donate /dəʊˈneɪt/ for animal
conservation areas: Students may have trouble in selling if they lack marketing
knowledge and this could not help much in raising students’ awareness of animal
protection because they do not have to actively learn about animals.
For all reasons I put above, I’ll choose Participating in sea animal drawing or
photographing contest as my best choice.
TOPIC 8: As students, you should make some efforts to help protect our living
environment. What should you do to protect our environment?

Nowadays, the development of the human world causes many bad effects /ɪˈfekt/
on the environment. I think there are many ways for students to take steps to
protect the earth.

Firstly, we can try to avoid using single-use products like plastic bottles take
away boxes. Instead, we can buy our own flask /flɑːsk/, we can buy our own boxes
and carry them around, and also we could choose products with less packaging,
that would reduce a lot of plastic consumed /kənˈsjuːm/ in the country.

Secondly, we could take public transport or cycle to go to school or somewhere


rather than use our private vehicles. This could also help reduce the amount of
exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔːst/ into the environment.

Thirdly, we could plant more trees in our gardens by using safe and natural
fertilizers phớ tơ lai zơ and products. Because trees are the most effective method
to improve air quality for their ability to produce oxygen ˈɒk.sɪ.dʒən. It gives you a
cool air,make you feek comfortable and peaceful

Finally, Throwing garbage everywhere makes our environment polluted seriously


so we can try not to throw garbage all over the place, should put them into the
proper /ˈprɒp.ər/ bin or bring the trash back home with them. That is how we can
keep the schoolyard clean and protect the environment.
In short, to protect the environment, we should do various ways like recycling
more, taking public transport rather than driving or planting more trees
điều mà mình làm để bảo vệ môi trường
In my opinion, I think each person needs to raise their own awareness, and at the
same time, call on people around to raise awareness such as recycling plastic
production, planting and protecting trees.
Chính phủ cần làm gì để bảo vệ môi trường
On the government side, the government needs to organize activities to call for
and raise awareness for the people. At the same time, the government should
also put in place regulations to severely handle acts that cause adverse impacts
on the environment.

After living in the countryside for a while, I once witnessed some acts of polluting

Situation 9: You did your best and achieved very good results at the end of the semester.
Thus, you received a big sum of money from your university scholarship. What would you do
with it?
There are three options:
1. Purchasing something for your hobbies or your study
2. Travelling to another country
3. Opening a saving account for later use
I did my best and achieved very good results at the end of the semester. Thus, I received a
big sum of money from my university scholarship. Among three options,... . I think Opening a
saving account for later use is my best choice because of the following reasons:
Firstly, it helps me in my Emergency situations. It's important to have an emergency fund set
aside to cover unexpected expenses. That emergency might be an unexpected motorbike
repair, expensive medical bills, or a sudden in my study. So It is essential to have some funds
in reserve for these situations.
Secondly, I Save for a Vacation, a new motorbike, or Other Big Purchases. My savings
account isn't only for things I need—it can be for things I want, too. I will spend these funds on
the plans which purchase house or car, even for my family. All of the plans aim to settle ˈset.əl
down in my life.
Purchasing something for your hobbies or your study is also a good idea. However, now I do
not need anything for my study and also buying something is just to help me in the short run.
I don't choose Travelling to another country,. I also don't have so much time for traveling
because of my hectic study schedule.
In short, with a university scholarship, I will choose to open a savings account because it will
help me so much in the long run.
Topic 9: Is it important for the youngster to save money? Why?

There are a variety /vəˈra ɪ.ə.ti of reasons to begin or continue saving money. Different people
save for different reasons, but in general, havings savings will benefit them in the future. Here
are several reasons:

Firstly, they save for their Emergency Fund. It's important to have an emergency fund set
aside to cover unexpected expenses. That emergency might be an unexpected car repair,
expensive medical bills, or a sudden job loss. It is essential to have some funds in reserve for
these situations
Secondly, they Save for a Vacation, Car, or Other Big Purchases. Their savings account isn't
only for things they need—it can be for things they want, too. Almost all people will have the
plans which purchase house or car, even for their children. All of the plans aim to settle down
in their life.

Thirdly, saving money helps them Become Financially Independent or Get Out of Debt /det/. It
means having the freedom to make choices in your life. The less they save, and the more
debt they accrue /əˈkru, the less independence they will have. So, if they want to be financially
independent they need to beef /biːf/ up their savings.

Finally, everyone is getting older, so saving money while we can still earn it is a good option
before retirement. /rɪˈtaɪə.mənt/ Everyone is always seeking si ːk a new chapter of life. To
prepare before that time comes, we should save money while we still could earn it.
To sum up, saving money is important because it helps protect them in the event of a financial
emergency, pay for large purchases, avoid debt, provide them with a greater sense of
financial freedom.

3. Amusement park
If my final exam is over, some of my friends are going to make a plan for a
memorable vacation. Among these places: sandy beaches, mountains, and
amusement /əˈmjuːz.mənt/ parks. I think I will choose the amusement park because
of the following reasons:
Firstly, There are a lot of things to play. I can participate in games like mini roller
– coaster /ˈkəʊ.stər/, boating /ˈbəʊ.tɪŋ/, duck, and bike ride /raɪd/ for a walk. Secondly,
the cost of tickets to join is quite cheap and reasonable to my tight taɪt/ budget. It
also helps me reduce stress about study on this vacation.

and Go to the beach easily makes our skin black, tan, sunburn /ˈsʌn.bɜːn/ caused

However, there are potentail dangers like falling or getting lost
In shorts, the Amusement park is my best choice because of ít fun and reasonable

Topic 10: Why are physical activities and sports essential in a student’s life?
I think it is important that students should focus on learning. However, it exists /ɪɡˈzɪst/ a
factor also necessary equally /ˈiː.kwə.li/. That is physical activities or sports training
because of some benefits of them.
First, physical education programs at schools directly benefit students' health. Getting
enough exercise can help fight /faɪt/ obesity, helping to reduce the risk of diseases.
Regular exercise is also good for promoting muscle /ˈmʌs.əl/ and bone growth.

Moreover, physical education activities help students develop healthy interactions with
society. Participating in physical activities provides opportunities for children to interact
with friends, and society. That helps them improve many soft skills such as
communication skills and teamwork skills.

Last, physical education also good for the mental health of students. Improved physical
health, interactions with school and society all contribute a lot of to mental health
benefits. it makes them happy, full of energy in life.

Physical education brings a lot of benefits, therefore, physical education and sports
activities at schools are always focused.

Situation 11: You work in a social club at university. You and your friends are making hand-
made crafts to raise money for charity but now you are wondering how to advertise your
products.
There are three options:
1. using social media sites
2. Handing out leaflets
3. Sending emails/ text messages

Well, imagine me working in social club at university, my friends and I are making hand made
crafts to raise money for charity, I will choose to use social media sites because of the
following reason.
Firstly, they are so convenient and affordable. You know, traditional advertising methods such
as banner advertisements /ədˈvɜː.tɪs.mənt/, can be more costly, but social media sites is
different, we just need to design a poster and post it on our social networking sites or student
page. with no advertising /ˈæd.və.taɪ.zɪŋ/ fees or very little

Secondly, I can access a large amount of customers.. Facebook alone has more than 750
million users, LinkedIn has over 120 million users and over 3 billion YouTube videos are
viewed per day. There are millions of people using social media platforms. It’s a great
opportunity for my club to reach people who are interested in my products

Handing out leaflets /ˈliː.flət/ is also a good idea. However, many consumers may read the
leaflet but they will not keep them. So it can be a waste of time and money

I don't choose to send emails or text messages because, you know, We all receive so many
emails. So my email for advertising sent over and over again is likely to be ignored /ɪɡˈnɔːr/or
deleted.
In shorts, I will choose to use social media sites to advertise my
Topic 11: Young people tend to commit juvenile crimes for many reasons. What are they?
It must be accepted that nowadays, Juvenile jú vơ nai ô crime rates are on the rise. Especially
urban areas

There are many reasons for this problem.


Firstly, young people lack of the love and instruction from parents, from their school và society.
They will feel lonely. This leads them to be easily manipulated mơ níp jow lây tịd /mə
ˈnɪp.jə.leɪt/ and seduced sì diu /sɪˈdʒuːs/ by evil /ˈiː.vəl/forces in society. As a result, young

Secondly, the unhealthy social environment is also a reason for tending commit juvenile jú vơ

easily affected. And so if they live in an area with a lot of crime or they watch more violent film,
play violen video game, it will have negatively affected thoughts and actions of minors

Finally, young people commit crimes for their own benefit because they want to
survive in their life. they need food, shelter /ˈʃel.tər/, and other physical needs
of life .Without any educational background, they could not get a proper job . As
a result, this will lead them to commit crimes such as kidnapping /ˈkɪd.næp.ɪŋ/

Situation 12: You see a boy who is bullied. What will you do?
There are three options:
1. Talking with his friends

3. Talking with his parents.
For the situation, if I see a boy who is bullied /ˈbʊl.i/, What I will choose to do. Well, Among the
three options: Talking with his friends, his teacher, and his parents. Personally, talking with his
teacher is the best choice for me.
Because I think teachers should be responsible for teaching students to judge /dʒʌdʒ/ what is
right and wrong so they can have some pieces of advice for their students. Another reason is
that It is easy for his teacher to find out about the incident /ˈɪn.sɪ.dənt /. Since she understands
their student's behavior than anyone, the solution will be solved.
I ignore /ɪɡˈnɔːr/ the option of reporting his situation to his parents. Because, you know, If they
find out that their child is bullied by a friend, they will usually feel angry and easily become
aggressive. /əˈɡres.ɪv/ Harmful behaviors can happen to defend their son. Maybe the boy will
learn what they live and It has negative effects on him.
Maybe some people consider that talking with his friends is better. However, I don't choose
this option because this case is able to be out of control with a child.
For all reasons I put above, I’ll choose to talk with his teacher as the best choice for me.
Topic 12: Why do we need robots in our life?
Robots are being used more frequently for doing activities which in the past were done by
hand. Here are some reasons for this

The first reason is intelligent robots definitely /ˈdef.ɪ.nət.li/ make the manufacturing /ˌmæn.jə
ˈfæk.tʃə.rɪŋ/ progress /ˈprəʊ.ɡres/ become much more productive. Robots improve the quality
of products in many of the manufacturing industries and therefore increase the company's
profit /ˈprɒf.ɪt/. For example, in certain industries like the car industry, automated /ˈɔː.tə.meɪ.tɪd/
machines and robots were able to do jobs such as painting the car or putting the car together.

The second reason is it's Safer. Many workers are prone /prəʊn/ to accidents in their
workplaces that come with heavy lifting and operating machinery /məˈʃiː.nər.i/. Using robots to
do this kind of job reduces risks at the workplace.

The third reason is Cutting down on costs. Many businesses save on costs in many areas with
the introduction of robots. The robots occupy /ˈɒk.jə.paɪ/ less space so companies do not
