ART CLUB

Part 2: Tell me a painting or a photo that you like.

I have taken a lot of photos and experienced many beautiful paintings but
my favorite photo is the one I took with my family when I graduated from the
university. Everyone in the picture is so happy and holding flowers.

Part 3:

1. I kept painting for a long time. Tell me a thing that you have had
for a long time.

Taking photos of stunning scenery is a thing that I have done for a long time.
Wherever I go, I always bring a camera to take a photo. I’m keen on doing
this because it can help me store memories and release stress.

2. I would like to learn to paint, but I have not yet found an effective
way. Should I take a course at my local college? Please, give me
some advice.

Painting is a good way to relax when you are stressed. There are some useful
ways for you to practice your paiting skills. Firstly, you can learn it by an
online course on the Internet if you have a lot of spare time. Secondly,
joining a course at your local college helps you learn faster because you
have an exprerienced teacher to train you.

3. Street art – where people paint on the building – is becoming


popular. However, some people criticize that it is bad. What is your
opinion?

Everyone has different opinions about street art. For me, I think that street
art is not bad if it can be done in the right place. There are some empty
places which are not used anymore. If street artists get permission from the
owner, they can use those places to make their works.

Part 4:

“Dear all members,

The Art Club is organizing a talk to the public to attract more attention. We
are going to invite an artist to give a talk to the members. As a member of
our club, could you give us an artist to join our talk and what topic should
they share to gain more attention? Especially, we would like to have more
both young and elderly members.”

1. Write an email to your friend – also a member of the club.

Hey Dan,

Guess what. I got great news. The club is organizing a public talk from an
artist. Oh! I am over the moon. You know, I look forward to participating in
this event for a long time. How about you? Let’s talk over coffee time.

See you,

2. Write an email to the organizer of the plan.

Dear Sir,

My name is Hang. I have been a member of the club since July. I am writing
this email to express my feelings about your latest email.
According to the latest updates, our Art club plans to organize a public talk
with an artist to attract more participants. In my opinion, it would be
beneficial to invite a well-known artist who has made a significant impact on
the younger generation.

To make the event become successful, I think we should post the information
on our Facebook page to followers know about it. Moreover, Mr. A is the most
famous artist recently, we can invite him to the event, that will attract many
audiences. I believe that other members will have the same ideas as me.

I hope my suggestions are useful to our club. I look forward to your prompt
reply.

Best regards,

Hang

BEAUTIFUL HOMES CLUB

Part 2: Why do you want to join the beautiful homes club?

I’m keen on decorating my home during special occasions, and I love a warm
and cozy family atmosphere with my loved ones. To improve my skills in
finding furniture for home decoration, I decided to join the club.

Part 3:

1. I have a bad relationship with my neighbors because they often


make noise. Tell me how is your relationship with your neighbors?
My relationship with my neighbors is quite good because we respect other
private places and understand each other. I think that you should solve your
problems in a polite way. If they turn on the music loudly, you can ask them
to reduce the volume to avoid noise pollution respectfully.

2. Do you prefer living in old buildings or modern buildings? Why?

I prefer living in modern buildings rather than old buildings. It is the fact that
the old buildings have been built for a long time so I can not feel comfortable
and safe to live there. In contrast, modern buildings are usually new and
convenient for people to live there well.

C: The house should be designed in a way that is good for the


environment. Do you agree?

Yes, I agree. Designing houses in a way that is good for the environment is
important. Firstly, we can decorate our houses with a lot of green trees
around living space or growing flowers is also good. Moreover, using recycle
items helps us protect the environment.

Part 4:
Dear member,

The cost of maintaining old buildings is very high and these buildings take up
a lot of space. The government has a proposal that we knock down old
buildings and build more modern blocks.

1. Write to a friend (50 words).

Hey Hung,

How’s it going? Guess what. I just got the news from the manager that the
cost of maintaining old buildings is very expensive and these buildings take
up a lot of space. The government suggests that we knock down ancient
buildings and build more modern blocks. I felt a bit confused when I heard it.
Could you tell me your opinion? Drop me a line!

Love,

2. Write to the manager club

Dear Sir,

My name is Hang. I have been a member of a beautiful home club since


September. I am writing this email to express my feelings and some
suggestions about the announcement that I have received from our club
recently.

According to the news, the cost of maintenance is expensive and these


buildings take up lots of space. Thus, the government will have a proposal to
solve this issue. To be honest, I think this upcoming plan is good because the
citizens will have a safer place to live.

To make the plan better, our club should make an appointment to discuss it
in more detail. After that, we should invite several professional designers in
the city to listen to their suggestions about building a new place in a saving
way.

I have a strong belief that many members of the club share views. I look
forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

LANGUAGE CLUB (Version 2)

Part 1: You want to join a language club. Fill in the form. Use 1 – 5 words.
S+V

Where are you from?

What’s the weather like today?

What do you do in your free time?

First language?

Who do you usually go to the movies with?

Part 2: In which cases do you often use foreign languages?

I use English to talk with my teachers and my friends at school because I


study in an international school so English is our main language of
communicate with each other. Moreover, I also use it to talk with customers
when I’m at work.

other members in the language club chat room. Talk to them using
sentences. Use 30 – 40 words.

a memory you have of a foreign language.
I had my first English presentation when I took a competition at a high
school. I was scared because I had to talk in front of a lot of people. Luckily,
with good preparation, I did the task well and got a second prize.

2. I am very forgetful. Can you give me some tips on how to


remember new words?

There are some tips to help you remember new words well. First of all, do not
learn too many, just a few words each day, and review them every day.
Second, you should use the words in the sentences with context.

3. Some people learn English through videos and reading books.


However, there are also many private classes and teachers. What do
you think is the most effective way to learn?

Everyone has different learning methods. Some do well with self-study using
videos and books, while others like private classes for personal support . A
mix of both can be effective—self-study for flexibility and structured
guidance in private classes. Chatting with native speakers also helps improve
language skills.

MUSEUM CLUB

Part 2: Tell the last time you went to the museum.

The last time I went to the museum was a long time ago that I cannot
remember clearly. Now, I learn at university and work at the same time so I
rarely have time to go there.

Part 3:

1. Tell a museum you visited when you were a child.

My family does not have an interest in arts or something relating to it so it


was hardly I went to the museum with my parents when I was a kid.

2. What do you prefer History Museum or Sports Museum?

I prefer visiting History Museum rather than Sports Museum because I can
gain more knowledge about history and then I will be grateful for a peace
world.

3. A lot of museums have technology screens and videos in their


exhibitions. Why they are so successful?

I think that having technology screens and videos in museum exhibitions


brings lively experiences for visitors. They can feel what is happening inside
the pictures as being a part of works.

Part 4:
From next year, all museums will charge an entrance fee. Some people think
that if they have to pay a fee, they will stop going. Please give your opinion
and tell the effect that may happen.

1. Write to your friend.

Hi Jane,

I’m writing to let you know that our club is considering issuing an entrance
fee, however, some visitors will stop going if they have to pay. I’m very
worried to hear that news. I’m going to write a suggestion letter to the
manager to give my suggestion. Well, time to go.

Best wishes,

2. Write to the manager.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Jane, I have been a member of the museum club for 3 months. I
am writing this letter to express my feelings about the club’s issue.

According to the news, our club is considering issuing an entrance fee but it
will reduce the number of visitors. A free ticket is a good way to attract
people to visit our museum, but somehow not reasonable. I think that our
club should open a fund from sponsors to help us maintain the museum, or
we can buy some food and drink for guests when they come to the museum.

What do you think about my idea? I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

discuss films with friends without impacting anyone.

Personally, I cannot agree with this. I am writing this email to give you some
of my opinions as well as suggestions to deal with this problem.

There are some solutions that we can consider fixing this situation. We
should give clear rules about this on our website or newsletters. In addition,
we can encourage people to be understanding and respect others’ opinion as
people are different and so they have different thinking. Last, it is a good
idea to give them a place so that they can give feedback or opinion about
anything in our club.

I hope my suggestions are useful for our club.

2. Write to the club manager about the importance of technology


and why you should be selected (120 words)

Dear Sir,

My name is Hang. I have been in this Technology Club for six months. I am
writing this email to give you more information about me and the reason why
I should be selected.

Regarding the latest email, our upcoming event is about technology. As we


all know the importance of technology. Thanks to the development of
technology, our lives have become better, for example, instead of spending a
lot of time cleaning houses, domestic appliances will finish in a couple of
hours.

Turning to the reason why I can be a good volunteer, I have 2 years of


helping the technology events at school, so I know exactly what will happen
in the event.

If you have further questions about me, feel free to contact me via this
email.

talk about the difficulties that we faced in our jobs and suggested
solutions for each other to deal with them.

Part 3: You are talking to other members of the club in the chat room.

A: There are so many different ways to follow the news these days. How do
you keep up with world issues?

I usually update the news through the Internet after I wake up. I believe
that it is a good way for me to absorb new information and prepare for
the whole day

B: I am going to take part in a debate next week in front of fifty people. How
can I make a good impression? Can you give me some advice?

The first thing you need to do is prepare your preparation well and then
prepare polite clothes which you feel comfortable and confident to put it
on. Moreover, keep eye contact and use your body language properly.
Last but not least, don’t be late.

Oriana: Before you can make a decision about any subject, you need to think
about both sides of the argument. What do you think about this?

I agree with this idea because we need to consider carefully both sides
and determine which side is reasonable for us to support. Moreover, we
should not evaluate any subject by its appearance.

Part 4: You are a member of the Debate Club. You received this email from
the club’s manager.

Dear Group member,

We would like to encourage more young people to join our club.


Unfortunately, young people often think debating is not for them. I am
writing to members to ask for help. What do you think about the benefits of
learning how to debate topical issues and speak in public? Please write and
tell us what you think the two most important benefits are, and why you
think they are important. We will publish your ideas on our website.

The manager

1. Write an email to your friend, who is also a member of the group. Tell your
friend about your ideas and why they are important. 50 words.

Hi Jane,

How’s it going? Have you got the email from our debating club? I’m so
sad that a lot of young people do not join our club because they think it’s
not suitable for them. I believe that learning how to debate topical issues
and speak in public will help them be confident and gain more
knowledge. I will write an email to the manager of the club to raise my
voice.

Goodbye,
Nguyen Hang

2. Write an email to the manager of the club. Tell the manager your ideas
and why they are important. 120 - 150 words.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

As the information that I received from the club about encouraging


young people to join our club, however, they think the debating club is
not suitable for them and they do not understand the benefits of
debating and speaking in public. Therefore, I am writing to raise my
voice about this issue.

The most significant merit of debating is that learning debate helps us to


develop our critical thinking. The reason is that we need to think about
different views on an issue and give our own perspective. Learning
debate helps us to become stronger and more independent because we
have to give opinions and protect them. Besides, speaking in public is
beneficial to our career in the future. Speaking in public is important to
develop our career in the future.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

Nguyen Hang

in

in the city center so it is convenient for travelling.

Part 3:

A: You have to stay in the bedroom but have to share with your brother. How
do you feel?

It does not matter if I have to share my bedroom with my brother. I


think it is better because I can teach and take care of my brother
better. Also, we can talk or share everything about life

B: It is better to live in the city than in the countryside. Do you agree? Why?
I don’t agree with it because living in the countryside also brings
some benefits. The air here is fresh and really good for people’s
health. Also, the people are friendly and kind. They are willing to
help other people when they are in trouble.

C: Nowadays, old buildings are demolished and replaced with modern


buildings. I feel we should protect historic buildings. What do you think?

I think old buildings are not safe for people living there and
surrounding people so they should be demolished and replaced with
modern ones. However, we should consider some historic buildings
as they have historic values

Part 4

Currently, there are many young families who want to buy a house or an
apartment. The club wants the members to make suggestions to help them
find homes.

1. Write to a friend (50 words- 70 words)

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Diana. I have been in the planning department of your


club for about 2 months. I am writing this email to give you my
opinion about the recent issue.

According to the news, there are many young families who want to
buy a house or an apartment and we need to make suggestions to
help them find homes. There are some ways that we can help them
find the right houses or apartments. First, we can provide them with
necessary information about the houses or apartments which are on
sale and then connect them with the owners. Second, we can invite
an architect who can give them advice to choose the suitable ones.
I hope my suggestions will be useful to you.

Best regards.

You are a member of a photography club. You received this email
from the club.

Dear members

Last year the club held a contest but there was only one category.
This year the club will be divided into several categories including
women, men and children under 16 years old.

1. Write an email to your friend, a member of the photography


club (50 words)

Hi Jane.

It’s Mary. Have you got the email from our class regarding the coming
contest? What do you think about the new division? I think this is a good
choice and most the member will support this change. I am going to
write an email to the manager to express my opinion about this.

See you later.

Bye

2. Write an email to the manager of the club (120-150 words)

Dear manager,

My name is Jane and I have been a member of our club for six months. I
got the email from our club regarding the upcoming contest yesterday. I
am writing this email to express my opinion about the change.

I am so happy with the change and I believe that most of our members
of the club will support this because it is much more interesting and
more professional when we can attract people of all ages to take part in
the contest. The contest that we held last year was a bit boring as there
was only one category for adults. Therefore, the contest could not
attract more people. A lot of children under 16 years old are brilliant in
taking photos and I think that they can make a difference in the contest
this year.

I hope that the change will make the contest more meaningful and
successful this year.

Thank you.
POWER FITNESS CLUB

1. How many people are there in your family?

2. Who is your favourite person in you family?

3. How do you go to work every day?

4. What is your favourite season?

5. Do you do exercise in the morning?


Task 2: What sport do you want to take part in the club? (20-30
words)

I want to take part in soccer because it is really popular and useful. It can
improve my health, keep fit and prevent health problems. Besides, it allows
me to make friends with other people

Task 3:

1. Why did you join the club?

I joined the club because here I could play my favourite sport and met those
who have the same hobby as me. We could share our experience and play
together. It was relaxing and enjoyable.

2. I don’t have much time to join. Can you give me some advice?

If you don’t have much time to join, you can spend about 30 or one
hour at the weekend or after work taking part in some sports. You
can join three times a week. It is enough, I think.

3. Why do more people like keeping fit nowadays?

People like keeping fit because it enables them to stay healthy and have a
good shape. When they are good-looking, they can become more confident.
Moreover, some people find a lot of interest in playing sports or doing
exercise. It can help them relax and reduce stress.

Task 4: You received an email from the club. Dear member,

We have spent so much money on our club and buying facilities. In order to
cut costs, we have to reduce the facilities that the club provides to the
members. Some members suggested closing the club shop where supporting
equipment is sold; Other members suggested closing the café which sells
bread and soft drink. We would like you to give your suggestions and the
reasons for that.

Manager,

1. Write an email to your friend who is also a member of the club.


(Hi Charles,)

Hi Charles,

Have you got the news that our club will close some of the facilities in
order to cut costs? That was bad news that made me shocked by the
way. But if we have to close one facility, I think closing the club shop is
better. I am going to write to the manager to raise my voice. What about
you?

Goodbye,

2. Write an email to the manager. Dear Manager

Dear Manager,

My name is Susan. I have been the member of our club for three years. I
was really shocked to get the news that we will close some of our
facilities in order to reduce the costs.

As a member of the club, I would like to suggest that the club could
close the club shop where supporting equipment is sold. Because, the
members can buy equipment from other shops. The café is a really
important place for members to get together so we should not close the
cafe. They can drink or eat something before or after the workout when
they are hungry or thirsty. They can also relax and refresh themselves.
They can chat with friends, share experience or making new friends. We
can cut off some products that are not good for our health. Instead, we
can sell mineral water and other products to raise money to support the
activities at the club. I think that other members will support my
suggestion.

I hope that my suggestion will be useful for our club

Best regards,

Daniel

According to the news, residents living near our club complain about
the noise from our concerts. I feel sad to hear that news because it
badly affects our club's image.

Therefore, it is better for us to think of solutions to this problem. I


think we can

rent a venue for the concert in the ABC Square which does not affect
anyone.

Another solution is that we can offer free tickets for the residents or
send them invitations to the concert. I hope that my suggestions will
be useful for our club.

Best regards,

in the city centre so it is convenient for travelling.

think it is better because I can teach and take care of my brother
better. Also, we can talk or share everything about life

B: It is better to live in the city than in the countryside. Do you agree? Why?

I don’t agree with it because living in the countryside also brings


some benefits. The air here is fresh and really good for people’s
health. Also, the people are friendly and kind. They are willing to
help other people when they are in trouble.

C: Nowadays, old buildings are demolished and replaced with modern


buildings. I feel we should protect historic buildings. What do you think?

I think old buildings are not safe for people living there and
surrounding people so they should be demolished and replaced with
modern ones. However, we should consider some historic buildings
as they have historic values

TEST 8
Part 2:

1. Describe the picture

As can be seen from the picture, there are three people and all of them are
middle-age. They are sitting in a bus because I can see bus windows, seats,
and so on. When I see the picture, it reminds me of my studying time
because I see the woman sitting in front of is reading documents. I used to
travel by bus to my school.

2. The last time you travel by bus

I would like to talk about the last time I traveled by bus. It was last week, I
had to commute buy bus to my workplace because my motorbike did not
work. It took me almost one hour to get the destination because of traffic
jam. It was so terrible because the bus was so crowded and I had to stand for
one hour.

3. What are some useful ways for people to avoid boredom when
traveling by bus?

There are many ways for people to avoid boredom when traveling by bus.
The first common way is using smartphones to search news or watch
Youtube. It is a useful way to kill the time. Besides, we can see the sights
through windows if the bus is not crowded.

Part 3:
1. Tell me what you see from two pictures

 The two pictures show children with their free time activities
 Regarding the difference. The first picture shows the boy with his
mother visiting a museum, an indoor activity while the second pictures
show the boy playing in a playground alone, an outdoor activity.

 The boy in picture one looks excited but the boy in picture 2
looks bored and sad.

 Visiting the museum can help children improve knowledge while


playing outdoor allows children to improve their physical health

2. Which activity do you prefer?

I like both of them because both of them have benefits. Visiting museum will
help me improve my knowledge about life in the past while playing outdoor
activities allows me to improve my mental and physical health.

3. Why is it important for children to take part in different activities?

It is important for children to do different activities, both outside and inside


because children need to develop different skills to support their life in the
future.

Part 4:

1. Tell me a time you used Internet

2. What do you use Internet for?

3. Do you think people nowadays use Internet a lot?/ Today’s life depends on
the Internet quite a lot. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Firstly, I would like to tell you about a time I used the Internet. As I can
remember, it was yesterday. On that day, I had an assignment to write a
report about the method of learning English successfully. Therefore, I
opened my laptop to access some websites on the Internet because I
needed to find some news, real evidence and data to support my study.
It took a long time to find reliable sources, but finally I could find it.

I can say that Internet plays an important role in my life as it can


support me in many aspects. For example, I use the Internet to keep in
touch with my relatives and friends. I use it for my job and I also use it
to read local and national news headlines, to watch my favorite TV
shows are worth watching tonight or tomorrow.

The third question. I think people over use the Internet. There has been
a recent trend of Internet. I surely think that since the past decade the
use of the Internet has surely risen in my country. You can now see even
the elderly people learning how to use it and chat with their kids online.
Apart from it, the Internet is surely very famous among the younger
generation, who is ever so active to use it for either education or fun.

Part 2:
1. Describe the picture

This is a lovely picture. Looking at the picture, I can see a road and a few
children. They are crossing the street, maybe they are going to school
because they are wearing a bag. In the background, the street is not quite
crowed with people, traffic, and many stores.

2. Tell me the last time you crossed the street

The last time I crossed the street was yesterday. Yesterday, I need to walk to
school because my bike did not work and I did not know why it happened.
Therefore, I had to pass through the road, luckily it was not crowded so I
could pass easily.

3. Why are some people scared of crossing the street?

For me, I think that some people scared of crossing the street because they
worry about their safety. Roads are always crowded with transport so if you
do not focus on walking you will meet an accident.

Part 3:
1. Tell me what you see from two pictures
Both of these pictures make sense. The first picture, I see a disabled people
playing basketball. They look hard-working and enthusiastic. In the second
picture, I see a young man who is playing tennis. He really concentrates on
his work. So, I can see the similarity of these two pictures is a sport.
However, in the first picture, who play sports is the disable people while in
the second picture, who is playing sport is the young man.

2. Which of these sports would you prefer to play?

Well, let me see. I must say that I prefer playing basketball because playing
basketball helps me to enhance my health and increase my height. Besides,
it is a team sports so I can play it with my friends. It has a lot of fun.

3. Do you think that playing sports is not limited to all different kinds of
people?

Yes, of course. I strongly believe that playing sports is not limited to anyone.
Everyone can play sports, from the elderly to the young, even, the disable.
This is because everyone has the right to play sports to enhance their health.
For example, the government makes great effort to help the disable practice
sports and even, hold some competition.

Part 4:

1. Tell me a time you went to visit amusement parks

2. How did you feel?

3. Do people in your country often visit amusement parks?

For a long time, I have not been to a park or amusement park but my
visit to a renowned amusement park in our city last year was so
pleasant that I look forward to revisit there. The amusement park I am
talking about is nearly 40 kilometers away from the city where I live in
and is a large one. It is beside the city resort and occupies around 12
acres area.

I went there with my parents, 4-5 cousins and 2 nephews. This was a
family trip and we planned to take the children to a place where they
would be able to enjoy. Since the busy school schedules often bore
the children, we planned to take them somewhere and let them enjoy
their time. As part of the plan, we left home early in the morning and
spent almost the entire day there.

Yes, people in my country often visit amusement parks, especially on


the weekend because they want to relax and refresh their mind.
Besides, they want to pick their children out so amusement parks are
a good choice.

TEST 2

Part 2:
1. Describe the picture

This is a very meaningful picture. Looking at this picture I see two people, a
mother and a child. The child is lying on top of the mother. The mother looks
at her child lovingly. They look so happy. About the scene I guess they’re in
the park.

2. Tell me the time you sat and talked with your mother

The last time I sat and talked with my mom was yesterday. On that day, I
came back to my hometown after a week I went on a business. I spent the
whole night talking with my mom. I shared a lot of things, my work, places I
went and so on.

3. Is your mother important to you?

Well, I will answer without any hesitation. My mother is the most important
person to me. She is the one raised and taught me, who guides me to be a
decent people. She always supports me in good times and bad times, and
give me valuable lessons. Without her, I can be nothing.

Part 3:
1. Tell me what you see from two pictures

Looking at the first picture, I can see maybe two children. They are playing
marbles on the ground, that is a traditional game in Vietnam. Moving to the
second one, there are maybe two young man. They are playing video games.
The similarly between two pictures is about the relaxing activity. The
difference is that one game is a traditional game while the other is a modern
game.

2. Which one do you prefer?

Actually, I like both of them: playing traditional games and video games
because both of them can help me relax and reduce stress after tiring hours
of working and studying.

3. Do you think games have changed a lot in the past 50 years?

As can be seen, in the past, 50 years ago, children did not have any
smartphones or the Internet so they tended to go and played outdoor
activities, playing hide-and-seek, playing football, for example. However, at
present, with the advance in technology, children have many choices for
their games. They tend to stay at home and play computer games or use
phones instead of going out.

Part 4:

1. Tell me about a time you learned something new

2. What was the most difficult thing for you?

3. Is it never late to learn new things?

I have learning English for 4 months to prepare the Aptis test. At first,
it is really difficult to learn however I found a course on the Internet
and then I took part in that course. After while I followed the method
and materials of the course step by step, I am confident about
speaking in English.

I think the most difficult thing is having a plan on how to learn. For
example, when we talk about language, first you should focus your
first words and small sentences on the people you plan to talk to. Do
not get stressed and do not forget learning something does not need
to be boring as hell sitting in a room, it can be so much more. Simply
listening to music will make you reduce stress and learn more
effectively.

I strongly believe that it is never late to learn new knowledge because


learning is the lifetime process. No one can confirm that they have all
knowledge as knowledge is unlimited. We need to learn and learn
forever. We learn now, learn in the future. Therefore, it is never late to
learn.

TEST 3

Part 2:
1. Describe the picture

Looking at the picture, I can see three people, two men and a woman. The
woman is an interviewer, a man holding the camera maybe a cameraman
and another man wearing suits maybe a businessman. I think they are
having a interview. They look so professional.

2. Do you prefer reading newspapers or watching news?

When it comes to my preference between reading newspaper and watching


news, obviously, I prefer watching news as watching news is so faster and I
can get the important points. Besides, watching news might be more
interesting thanks to sound and visual effects.
3. Why do people need to watch news?

There are many reasons why people need to watch news. The fires important
reason is that watching news can help them update recent news in the
country and all the world. So you know bad news like pandemic, crisis and so
on to prevent and avoid.

Part 3:

1. Tell me what you see you from two pictures


Looking at first picture, I can see two children: a boy and a girl. They are
finding books at the library. They seem very attentive. Looking at the second
one, there is a girl. She is writing something on paper and looking at the
laptop. I guess she is reading materials on laptop and taking note. Therefore,
the difference between two pictures is that one pictures is the traditional way
of reading while the other is the modern way of reading.

2. Do you prefer reading printed books or e-books?

I prefer reading e-books as it is convenient. E-books are portable so I can


bring them to every place without being afraid of the heavy, but we cannot
deny the benefits of printed books.

3. Does technology affect the way we read books?

Yes, of course. The advance of technology is sharply changing our reading


habit. In the past, people read printed books to gain knowledge or find
material. They bought them the store or borrowed book from the library.
However, now, with the support of technology, people can read books on
their laptop or phone. Many books are available on the Internet without
charging fees, which allows people to read free books.

Part 4:

1. Tell me a time when you were in a hurry

2. How did you feel?

3. Modern life makes us busier and more rushed? what do you think?

Well, I’d like to tell you about the time I was in a hurry. It was
just yesterday. I worked at company from 8 AM to 5:30 PM. Then
I came home, cooked rice and had a dinner at 6:30 PM. But I
needed to come to my student’s house at 7 PM to teach her
some subjects for 9th grade. So, I just had 30 minutes for eating
and moving.

I ate and tried on time. At that time, I was so stressed, even I


forgot something that needed to bring like books. I wished I had
more times to do everything carefully and perfectly. Even
though I tried faster, I still was late 10 minutes. This was not
good and I had to sorry my student.
Therefore, I believe that modern life makes us more rushed
because we have more work that need to be done.

TEST 4

Part 2:

Looking at the picture, I can see a girl and a man, maybe her father. They are
wearing casual clothes. I see they is in the supermarket and choosing items
to put in the trolley. They look relaxed and attentive.

The last time I went to the supermarket was last week. On that day, I went to
Big C supermarket to buy food for my meals. I spent two hours there to buy
items that I needed. Because it was so crowded, I waited a long time for my
turn to pay the bill.

3. Do you often and go shopping in the supermarket?

Yes, of course, I often go to the supermarket. This is because there is a


supermarket near my house. So, I do not need to travel a long distance to go
to the market.

Part 3:
1. Tell me what you see from two pictures

Looking at the first picture, I can see a man. He is eating alone at home. He
looks quite bored. Looking at the second one, there are many people. They
are eating fast food and drinking coke. The similarity between the two
pictures is the topic of eating. The difference is that one picture is eating at
home while the other is eating out.

2. Do you prefer eating at home or eating out?


I prefer eating at home with my family because eating home-made food are
always better and safer than eating fast food. Besides, I feel comfortable
when eating at home

3. Why do people like eating unhealthy food?

I can see that nowadays, people, especially the young, tend to eat fast food
like pizza, sausage and so on for their meal. There are many reasons why
they like eating such unhealthy food. The first one is that eating fast food is
convenient and saves time. They do not need to spend time buying
ingredients and cooking, just going to the shop and buying fast food.

Part 4:

1. Tell me a time you tried to play an extreme sport

2. How did you feel?

3. Do people in your country often play dangerous sports?

Oh, no, though my life is quite a bit boring. I always worry about my
safety. I'm too scared to do any extreme sports because I don't think
I have enough guts to put myself in these difficult situations. That's
why I have never tried any dangerous sports.

However, I think that in my country, there are many people who like
to take part in dangerous sports. This is because it is a way to get
some excitement into their lives. When people thousands of years in
the past lived in nature, they often faced dangers like wild animal
attacks, but now many people just spend their lives sitting in an
office. By participating in extreme sports, people can feel alive and
get a rush that they can't experience in normal everyday modem
life.

In the background the picture is taken in the car. I like the picture because it
reminds me of my family.

felt tired because I got carsick.

3. Why do people need to learn how to ride?

Let me see. When it comes to the question "....", I must say that people need
to learn how to drive because if we know how to drive, we do not need to
rent a car for a long trip, which saves money. For example, in the past, I
spent a lot of money renting a car and a driver for long trips. But, now, I can
drive a car and no longer rent a driver. It is so convenient.

Part 3:
1. Tell me what you see in the two pictures

This is an interesting question, let me describe it. In the first picture, I can

guess it is a music concert. I love two pictures.

2. How are the experiences different in these two situations?

I'm sure that the experience of music in these situations is obviously


different. In picture 1, when listening to music alone, you can choose
whatever music genres that you like. In contrast, in picture 2, the band has
to choose the most suitable music genres for all members so they can easily
show off their musical talents in the performance.

3. Why do you think people listen to music?

There are several reasons to answer why people listen to music. Firstly, some
research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, and blood
pressure as well as improve sleep quality. Secondly, it is also a good way to
increase your attention span when studying or working.

help people gain knowledge about different aspects. Besides,
reading is also a good way to relax and refresh people’s mind.

weather.

Actually, I have never experienced riding animals before as it is not popular


in my area. However, it is quite interesting. Maybe, in the future, if I have a
chance, I will give it a try.

3. Is riding animals popular in your country?

Absolutely no. As I said before, commuting by animals is not popular in my


country. In the past, perhaps, it used to be popular because we used to ride
cows or horses. But now, it loses its popularity. Instead, we usually used
advanced transports like bikes, motorbikes to commute.

have changed so much. In the past, people used to play outdoor games such

Well, we all need help at some point in time in our lives. I also
received a lot of help and helped others too. When we help others, it
makes us happy and polite, and also shows our behavior towards
others. Today, I was asked to talk about a time when I helped
someone else. I remember an incident when I was in 10th standard.
I helped my needy friend who was my class fellow. His name was
Avnet Singh and belonged to a poor family. He didn't have enough
money to buy books. And I used to receive a hundred rupees per
month pocket money in those days. Usually, I spend that money on
chocolates and I love chocolates. I decided to help him by giving all
my pocket money to him. So, he was able to buy books.

I remember his face and how he became happy. Then, he bought


books. Since then, we have been best friends. To be honest, I felt
happy at that moment. That feeling was extremely different than I
never felt before.

Therefore, I strongly believe that people should help other people


because helping is a good thing to bring happiness to not only
people helped but also the helper.

learning how to debate topical issues and speak in public? Please write and
tell us what you think the two most important benefits are, and why you
think they are important. We will publish your ideas on our website.

sad that a lot of young people do not join our club because they think it’s
not suitable for them. I believe that learning how to debate topical issues
and speak in public will help them be confident and gain more
knowledge. I will write an email to the manager of the club to raise my
voice.

Goodbye,

and why they are important. 120 - 150 words.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

As the information that I received from the club about encouraging


young people to join our club, however, they think the debating club is
not suitable for them and they do not understand the benefits of
debating and speaking in public. Therefore, I am writing to raise my
voice about this issue.

The most significant merit of debating is that learning debate helps us to


develop our critical thinking. The reason is that we need to think about
different views on an issue and give our own perspective. Learning
debate helps us to become stronger and more independent because we
have to give opinions and protect them. Besides, speaking in public is
beneficial to our career in the future. Speaking in public is important to
develop our career in the future.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

Nguyen Hang

I will teach her how to use many basic skills. I will show her to start up or
shut down the computer. Besides, I help her go online or access the internet
so that she can check her email.

I think computers have many complicated functions. Therefore, you should


teach your grandmother some basic computer skills such as typing and
accessing the internet. Moreover, you can help her sign up for a computer
course for the elderly.

I think, first your grandmother uses a computer to do what. If it is really


necessary, you can spend time practicing with him. It is difficult with old

necessary.

2. Write a letter to the manager (120-150 words)

Dear Sir/ Madam,


As a loyal member of the club, I feel very happy that our website will
be adjusted to attract more members. Our website has had some
problems for a long time so many people could not find the
information relating to our club. Moreover, the website is too simple
and boring, and the content on the website is arranged messily.
Finally, sometimes, our members could not log in to the website
because of the bad connection.

To make this issue better, I totally support the idea of improving the
website. We can hire a professional team who specializes in creating
a wonderful website. I will send you a list of good website companies,
then you can contact them to express your ideas about the new
websites. I believe that after adjusting the website, many people will
join our club.

I hope my suggestion is helpful to you. If you have any question or


need further information, you can send an email to me.

(Hi Charles,)

Hi Charles,

Have you got the news that our club will close some of the facilities in
order to cut costs? That was bad news that made me shocked by the
way. But if we have to close one facility, I think closing the club shop is
better. I am going to write to the manager to raise my voice. What about
you?

Goodbye,

2. Write an email to the manager. Dear Manager

Dear Manager,

My name is Susan. I have been the member of our club for three years. I
was really shocked to get the news that we will close some of our
facilities in order to reduce the costs.

As a member of the club, I would like to suggest that the club could
close the club shop where supporting equipment is sold. Because, the
members can buy equipment from other shops. The café is a really
important place for members to get together so we should not close the
cafe. They can drink or eat something before or after the workout when
they are hungry or thirsty. They can also relax and refresh themselves.
They can chat with friends, share experience or making new friends. We
can cut off some products that are not good for our health. Instead, we
can sell mineral water and other products to raise money to support the
activities at the club. I think that other members will support my
suggestion.

I hope that my suggestion will be useful for our club.

Best regards,

Daniel

use any equipment and self-practice due to the couch being on holiday
in the next two weeks. It is a good thing for me because I can practice

looking for this event for a long time. I am writing this email to
give my suggestions about the place that we can organize the
event and the activities we can do.

Regarding the place where we can organize the event, I think


ABC Park is the most suitable place for some reasons. First, it is
in the city centre so it is convenient for all of us to travel there.
Besides, it can offer various entertainment activities like sports
facilities, playground or picnic areas so we can think of more
activities. And the very important reason is that the park can
provide us a beautiful and natural setting for the event with
flowers, trees. This can make people feel more relaxed and
enjoyable. About the activities, we can have some teambuilding
activities or presentation contests.

I hope my suggestions will be useful for the event.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Yen, a member of your music club. I am writing to give


you my opinions regarding the email I have got

According to the news, residents living near our club complain about
the noise from our concerts. I feel sad to hear that news because it
badly affects our club's image.

Therefore, it is better for us to think of solutions to this problem. I


think we can

rent a venue for the concert in the ABC Square which does not affect
anyone.

Another solution is that we can offer free tickets for the residents or
send them invitations to the concert. I hope that my suggestions will
be useful for our club.

Best regards,

to write an email to the manager and give him my suggestions and
reasons

I have to go now. Bye for now

Love

Dear Sir,

My name is Susan, from ABC Club. I am writing this email to express my


opinion about the plan to organize a walk across European countries.

I have been told about the plan and I found it impossible as we will
encounter a lot of difficulties. First, the luggage is so heavy and we
cannot carry all. The distance is too long and it can take many months
to walk all European countries. The weather in these countries is
extremely cold. We may get very tired and sick. That can badly affect
our health. Moreover, it can waste a lot of money for food,
accommodation. Everything in these countries is very expensive and we
do not have enough money to travel here. For these reasons, I think we
cannot carry out this plan.

If you have any question or information, please contact me at


567878990 or via susan2gmail.com. I am looking forward to hearing
from you.

Thank you.

opinion about the change in the upcoming event.

To be honest, I am really disappointed to get this news because I


had been waiting for the show of “The Japanese Garden” for a long
time and I did not want to watch the British Garden again. I believe
that the number of the audience joining the upcoming event will
decrease because they have already watched it. Instead, we should
talk about another topic which we haven’t done it.

I hope my suggestions will be useful to you.

Best regards.

TOPIC 4: COOCKING CLUB

Part 2: Please tell us about the days and times you can come and the food
you enjoy cooking and eating.

I work from Monday to Friday so I can come at the weekend. I love


eating healthy food such as salad and fruit because health is very
important to me and I don’t want to be overweight

Part 3: You are a member of the club. You are talking to Jim in the cooking
chat

room. Talk to Jim using sentences. Use 30 - 40 words per answer.

Jim: Hi! I hear you've just started taking cooking classes. I've been a member
for

about two years because my children want me to get better at cooking. Why
did you

join?

I’m not good at cooking and I want to have healthy and delicious
meals for my children and for myself. Cooking is also a good hobby
for any woman.

Jim: I go once or twice a week. How often do you think you'll go?

I think I’ll go once a week on Saturday because I have to work from


Monday to Friday. Moreover, I want to spend Sunday with my family.
We will cook a meal at home.

Jim: OK. What do you think about the price of the classes?

For me, it is affordable. However, I think people with low income will
not have enough money to pay for the class. It is better to lower the
price a bit so that everyone and join.

Part 4: You are a member of the club. You received this email from the club's

manager.

Dear Members,

I am writing to inform you that next week's cooking classes will be canceled
because your teacher is on holiday. Extra classes may be available when the
teacher returns. I am sorry if this creates any difficulties for you.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer you a refund at this stage,

1. Write an email to your friend. Write about your feelings and what you
would

like to do. Write about 50 words.

Hi Jane,

Have you got the email from the club about the next week’s cooking
classes? I’m so disappointed about the news because I have been
waiting for it for a long time and I can’t get a refund. I’ll send an
email to the manager to express my opinion. What about you?

Goodbye,

2. Write an email to the manager. Write about your feelings and what you
would

like to do. Write 120-150 words.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Diana. I have been in the planning department of your

opinion about the change in the next week’s classes.

According to the news, next week's cooking classes will be canceled


because our teacher is on holiday. Extra classes may be available
when the teacher returns. However, we cannot get a refund if we
cannot join extra classes. I am so disappointed because I had to wait
for the classes for a long time and I have arranged my schedule to
join it. However, I cannot get a refund if I do not attend the extra
classes. I believe that a lot of people will disagree with this change
as it causes a lot of inconvenience.

I hope my opinion will be useful to you.

Best regards.

TOPIC 5: HOME LIVING CLUB

in

in the city centre so it is convenient for travelling.

do you feel?

It does not matter if I have to share my bedroom with my brother. I


think it is better because I can teach and take care of my brother
better. Also, we can talk or share everything about life

B: It is better to live in the city than in the countryside. Do you agree? Why?

I don’t agree with it because living in the countryside also brings


some benefits. The air here is fresh and really good for people’s
health. Also, the people are friendly and kind. They are willing to
help other people when they are in trouble.

C: Nowadays, old buildings are demolished and replaced with modern


buildings. I feel we should protect historic buildings. What do you think?

I think old buildings are not safe for people living there and
surrounding people so they should be demolished and replaced with
modern ones. However, we should consider some historic buildings
as they have historic values

opinion about the recent issue.

According to the news, there are many young families who want to
buy a house or an apartment and we need to make suggestions to
help them find homes. There are some ways that we can help them
find the right houses or apartments. First, we can provide them with
necessary information about the houses or apartments which are on

an architect who can give them advice to choose the suitable ones.

I hope my suggestions will be useful to you.

do?

If he doesn’t like music, you shouldn’t give him music lessons.


Instead, it is better for you to get to know about his hobbies and let
him do what he likes.

3. Do you agree music is important in culture?

I agree that music is important in culture as it can connect people


with people. Also, it helps them relax and reduce stress after work or

According to the news, residents living near our club complain about
the noise from our concerts. I feel sad to hear that news because it
badly affects our club's image.

Therefore, it is better for us to think of solutions to this problem. I


think we can

Another solution is that we can offer free tickets for the residents or
send them invitations to the concert. I hope that my suggestions will
be useful for our club.

may cause you inconvenience. I am so sorry for that. I am not going

Thank you so much for your help during the time I learn with you.

I think we should post the information about the science exhibition

amount of money to prepare for the event.

I hope my opinion will be useful to you.

2. Email to the club?

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Jane, I have been a member of fitness club for 3 months. I


am writing this letter to express my feelings about an upcoming event of
the club.

According to the news, our club has a plan to buy some new equipment
but we lack money for this plan. Therefore, we need to organize a
sponsored event or increase the membership fee. I think the first option
is the most reasonable for everyone because we can raise money from
those who have high income or are willing to contribute to our club.
Moreover, if the membership fee increase, a lot of members cannot
afford for it and they will leave our club. Therefore, I believe that making
a sponsor event is the best.

What do you think about my idea? I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Best wishes,

2. Email to the club.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Jane, I have been a member of museum club for 3 months. I


am writing this letter to express my feelings about the club’s issue.

According to the news, our club is considering to issue entrance fee to


cover the museum’s maintenance cost. I agree with this solution
because we need money to operate and maintain our museum.
However, it can e seen that there are a few people visiting museums so
if we issue fees, perhaps, it leads to the decrease in the number of
museum visitors. Giving free ticket is a good way to attract people to
pay a visit to our museum. Therefore, issuing fees is somehow not
reasonable.

What do you think about my idea? I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jane. It’s me, Susan. Have you got the email from our club about the
group of foreign tourists? I am so excited about this event as I will have
chance to speak to native speakers. I am going to write an email to the
manager and to give him suggestions to welcome them and
communicate with them.

See you later.

Dear Mr. David,

My name is Mary. I got the email from our club about the group of
foreign tourists visiting to our country. I am writing this email to give you
my suggestions to welcome the tourists and communicate with them.

Regarding welcoming the tourists, I think it is better to have someone to


pick them up from the airport and then have a warm party in a
restaurant in the city centre to welcome them. It is necessary for us to
provide them with some information about famous places in Vietnam,
accommodation, weather and the food. About ways to communicate
with them, it is advisable for us to hire an English teacher in our area to
help us communicate with them.

I hope that my suggestions are helpful. If you have any question or need
further information, please contact me at 56678899 or
via Susan@gmail.com.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

businesses or individuals who are willing to donate money to help the
poor or the disabled. Third, it is a good idea to sell handmade gifts
made by volunteers.

Hi Jane. Have you got the mail regarding the plan to demolish some

people in our area will be happy and support this plan. However, there
will be a lot of things that must be well-prepared. I am going to give you
some suggestions about the plan. First, we should hire a well-known
construction company like ABC or XYZ to make sure that the buildings
will be built with the best quality. Second, we should plant a lot of trees
and flowers around the building to make the buildings greener and more
beautiful. Third, it is advisable to include some good and modern
facilities like swimming pools, fitness centres or playgrounds.

I use a computer a lot/every day, both at work and at home. At work,


I use my computer to deal with a lot of work and I learn English
online at home, in the evening.

I normally study online on a computer at home from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the


evening, I use my laptop to entertain myself by watching movies and
listening to music.

I use a computer every day for my work and personal activities. I use it at
the office and at home. It helps me solve things very fast and conveniently

I use a computer for my work every day. It supports my work so much. I


usually use a computer from 8am to 5 pm at the office

1. My grandmother doesn’t know how to use the computer. What should I


do?

It is advisable for you teach her some basic computer skills like/such
as starting up, shutting down, typing or using some websites. It is
difficult for old people to learn so you should give her more time.

Should = it is advisable to = it is a good idea to

We should plant more trees

It is advisable for us to plant more trees

It is a good idea to plant more trees

I will teach her how to use many basic skills. I will show her to start up or
shut down the computer. Besides, I help her go online or access the internet
so that she can check her email.

I think computers have many complicated functions. Therefore, you should


teach your grandmother some basic computer skills such as typing and
accessing the internet. Moreover, you can help her sign up for a computer
course for the elderly.

I think, first your grandmother use a computer to do what. If it is really


necessary, you can spend time practicing with him. It is difficult with old
people so she needs more time to do it

If your grandmother doesn’t know how to use a computer, you should teach
her how to use it. You can show her how to type. And she should search for
information about a computer and how to use it

The last time I used the computer was yesterday. I wrote a report to

in France. After that, I used it to learn English online.

The last time I used my laptop was yesterday. I searched for some
information on the internet to prepare for the upcoming exam. After that, I
used it to watch a movie and listen to music.
I used a computer yesterday. I wrote a plan to send to the manager. It took
me about 1 hour. I used a desk computer. The computer helps me do a lot of
work.

The last time I used the computer was yesterday. I wrote a report to prepare
for the presentation at school. After that, I used the computer to learn
English and chat with friends.

think?

I agree that these days children use computer a lot. This is really harmful to
their health, especially their eyes and backs. It can lead to obesity/ being

their study.

is unbelievable and everyone won't support this plan. I am going to write an
email to the manager and give him my suggestions and reasons

I have to go now. Bye for now

Love

Dear Sir,
My name is Susan, from ABC Club. 1 am writing this email to express my
opinion about the plan to organize a walk across European countries.

1 have been told about the plan and I found it impossible as we will
encounter a lot of difficulties. First, the luggage is so heavy and we cannot
carry all. The distance is too long and it can take many months to walk all
European countries. The weather in these countries is extremely cold. We
may get very tired and sick. That can badly affec out health.

Moreover, ii can waste a lot of money for food, accommodation. Everything


in these countries is very expensive and we do not have enough money to
travel here. For these reasons, 1 thmk we cannot carry out this plan.

If you have any question or infomation, please contact me at 0908735893 or


via susan2gma1l.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you

Thank you.
