TOPIC 1 “TOWN AND CITIES”

1/ I’d like to tell you about a place where I’m living. I was born and raise in Hanoi, well, you know,
it’s the capital of Vietnam. Hanoi also has another name in 1010, just like the name of my/our
univerity is “Thăng Long”. This make me very pround. Hanoi is a modern urban area, so the pace of
life is hustle and bustle / ˈhʌsl əndˈbʌsl/, people in here are renowned for their hospitality to visitors.
Although Hanoi has been developing quite a lot recently, it is still a traditional Vietnamese city with a
long history. It is has gained a reputation for a tourist destination such as Hoan Kiem Lake, which is
the central area of the city. There are the old streets, famous for the name "36 streets and
wards"/wɔːd/. This is no longer a strange name to Vietnamese people, but it has almost become a
symbol of Hanoi. Other than that, the food here is excellent. You can taste a lot of local foods that
cannot be tasted elsewhere.

However/On the other hand, there are still have many things that I’m verry worried. First, so many
people flock into the city that lead to over population. Second, too many factories and companies in
the city will seriously pollute the air due to the amount of carbon released into the air, which will
affect people’s health. Sometimes it drives you crazy because of being sandwiched by traffic jams,
you can’t move for hours, that’s exhausting. At that time, I wish I had moved to the countryside to
avoid such traffic problems.

I am just kidding, I have been living here for over 18 years, I have no intention of relocating. This
place is so great when I live close to my family and of course it has become the place where my heart
is/my home sweet home. East or west – home is best, Hanoi is a worth-living city
2/ What I want to talk about now is my mother’s hometown. Bavi province is located in the North of
Vietnam. It takes about 2 hours to drive from my hometown to the capital of Hanoi. Whenerver I
have free time, my family usually go back to pay a visit my grandmother and recharge my battery. In
this place, there are no companies, crowded people or traffic jams like in urban area, you can
wandering around and take some fresh air. In here, the pace of life is very slow, you can even hear
birds singing in the morning. Bavi has gained a lot of reputation for tourist destination/attraction
like Bavi national park or Khoang Xanh Suoi Tien and there are many things I can't mention here.
You can find breathtaking views of mountains and beautiful river. I’m sure you will love it at the first
sight, This is a sight worth seeing. Other than that, the cost of living is reasonable, you can live
comfortably here with an average salaries. When I get old, I will think about living in somewhere off
the beaten track for tranquility and this place is worth living. Now I still prefer to live where I was
born. It is great to live close to my family.

What I want to talk about today is a beautiful city I have visited. Bavi is my aunt’s hometown, so my
family and I have chance to visit it( every years) . Bavi province is located in the North of Vietnam. It
takes about 2 hours to drive from Bavi to the capital of Hanoi. Because I preaty close with my aunt
so I really love to go to Bavi to pay a visit her

TOPIC “HEALTH AND FITNESS” :

Health and fitness are what I want to talk about today. Staying healthy and Keeping fit is everyone’s

are many ways to stay healthy and get lean, a majority of youngster prefer working out in gym and
fitness center, while the middle-aged men and women prefer doing yoga, squats and other
exercises. And old people prefer walking in the early morning to remain healthy. For me, I don’t have
much time to exercise ( I get bogged down in study and do hosehold chore and I also have to look
after my niece /niːs/ ) but I always try to eat healthy food to keep fit, Fruit and vegetable are both
nutrious,and delicious. I always believe the saying “an apple a day keep the doctor away”. It’s
important to get rid of /discard straigh away unhealthy habbits such as eating junk food, skipping
breakfast, eating late at night and there are many things I can't mention here. For me, I lack of sleep,
I know that getting adequate sleep is the most helpful ways to build up resistance so I am try to

reduce wear and tear of my body and build tenacity. Sports can do wonders for our health actually.

TOPIC 3 “BOOKS AND MOVIE” :

Nowdays there are so many forms of entertainment, books and movie are the
most popular ways that I’d like to tell you about. You can enjoy your books/
movies from the comfort of your own. You can easily choose from various types
of books and movies, for me, I’m really into novels . There are a ton of benefits of
reading books / watching films.

First of all,Viewing movies / Reading books is an awesome ways to

relieve stress from our lives. Secondly, I believe that books can be
both entertaining and educational. Books broadens my horizons
by opening up the world to me. While I’m reading, I can be
visiting another country or a different period, travelling through
space. Especially, When I read, I feel like I'm experiencing another
life through the characters. Last but not least, you can find some friends who have the
same hobby with you to discuss or have a night with friends watching great comedy
films/ reading books can build memories and help you grow closer with friends.
Films and books are important parts of our lives, I have learnt many lessons and
heartfelt stories with provoking and often emotional endings which touch me a lot.

TOPIC 4 “INVENTION AND DISCOVERIES”

Discovery is exploring and finding out something that preexisted, people

did not know until the discovery if it existed or not and make known. For
instance, we have just discoverd a new ocean is Southern Ocean. The Southern
Ocean has long been recognized by scientists, but because there was never
agreement internationally, we never officially recognized it. So now we have five
ocean, not just 4
On the other hand, Invention is creating/ giving an idea or making
something entirely new. For instance, we say 'invention of the telephone'.

It is really tough to pick one particular scientific invention ( and discoveries )

that had positively influenced the human race as there are possibly hundreds
and thousands of such inventions. I would like to pick the “internet” which is
one of the most revolutionary creations that have greatly changed our life.

I sufted the net and find since Americans invented it in 1969, it continued to
be developed and completed. It took many years and a lot of efforts for
human kind to finally get the general and easy way to connect with each
other. Internet brings people more convenience, thanks to it, we have a
better life. There are ton of benefits, firts, Despite distance, we can
communicate with each other. Second, we can search for information so easily
as well as better entertainment. The Internet plays an important role in our
daily lives.

(All we need is a smartphone, and then we can connect to

websites and apps by using the Wi-Fi. Internet had appeared
in our life for such a very long time) , and I cannot imagine
how boring and backward the world is without it.

TOPIC 5 “HOBBIES AND PASSIONS”

Everyone has hobbies to do and passions to follow and I am

no exception.

I’d like to talk about my hobby. Well, In my spare time, I

enjoy doing a lot of things. Normally, I’ll hang out with my
friends and we usually have some heart-to-heart talks/
conversations . We can share pretty much/ almost everythings. If I
have more time, I will also go out to eat. Eating is the most
helpful ways to relieve stress. But I just can do that before
the pandemic appeard. Now, It’s a good idea to stay at home
to avoid Covid-19. If I’m not busy with my work, I’ll check out
if there have any movies that attracts me. But if I have lots
of things on my hands. I’ll probably focus on my work.
Modern lifestyle brings more convenience to people. I
cannot meet my friend face to face, but I still can chat with
them online. As a young person, I have a lot of hobbies,
but I feel happiest when I can spend time with my family
Mealtime is my favorite time of the day, it isn’t just time to eat, it’s time for us
to talk and share our stories.

Everyone…. I dreamed of being a doctor, but in middle school, when I had to

study chemistry, I gave up right of the bat because it was too difficult. I think,
no I’m definately sure I don’t have a knack for it. At that time, I was really sad,
I wanted to contribute to society, to help people in need. And then I found that
Japan is always focus on education first, to build up the country after disasters .
It is true that doctors are the most noble of all jobs, but teachers are also
noble. It’s obvious that doctors can save people lives while teachers can
educate people. A decent educational system will create a strong workforce
that drives economy as well as better future.

TOPIC 4: Speaking practice: Describe your Tet’s holiday

For me, Tet Holiday is one of the most stunning moments of spring parody. Everyone who lives in
Viet Nam always waits for this special occasion and I’m not an exception. I will have two week-off
and I will fly back to my hometown- Quang Ngai city. After that, my family will come to Da Nang city
by car to celebrate a Tet holiday with my dad’s family. On the 30th, all members will get together at
my grandma’s house to prepare Tet banquet and ingredients to make sticky rice cakes. It’s also a
family reunion that we will share ups and downs in old years and new plans for new year. And the
most appealing thing of the New Year’s Eve is countdown and enjoying the brilliant / br l.jənt ˈ ɪ /
fireworks on the dark sky. In the first morning of the new year, we will dress up with new clothes
and be ready for lots of activities. Women in my family often go to Linh Ung pagoda /pə o .də ˈɡ ʊ /
in early morning to pick buds and pray for “ Health, Happiness, Luck AND Prosperity”. At 10 o’clock,
all people will come together to visit and clean up the resting place of their ancestors and relatives.
Then we will divide into three teams to visit our relatives and friends. Next, we will return home and
make Tet banquet to worship the ancestors. Everyone will exchange / ks t e nd ɪ ˈ ʃ ɪ ʒ/ New Year’s
wishes and receive /rɪ ˈ ː si v/ lucky money wrapped by red envelop. In general, Tet brings a cozy
atmosphere to enjoy joyful time with their family’s members. It is great time for people living at
different places of country to gather and spend time together. Tet is a chance /t æns ʃ / for
individual to come back home after hectic schedule in study and work. Tet is not simply a holiday, it
is (traditional) culture and customs of Vietnamese citizens since its deep meaning is sacred / se .kr d ˈ
ɪ ɪ / and important. I love Tet so much.

Family
As far as I can tell, family is the most important of my life. While you may sometimes argue and get
annoyed with your family, they are your unit and the ones that you can turn to in times of happiness
and sorrow. No matter what you go through with your family, they will always be there to guide and
support you and to help you learn and grow as a person. The love from a family member is
unconditional and should not be taken for granted. Some people go through life without truly
appreciating just how important having their family’s support is and spend the majority their
existence feeling unhappy. So, if you don’t usually show your family how much they mean to you,
now is the time to start!

As a young person, I have a lot of hobbies, but I feel happiest when I can

Well obviously, there are a variety of possible differences here. But I guess the most significant
would be that
