topic thi nói tiếng Anh B1 Topic 1: The means of transport you like most If I have to decide which means of transport I like most, it’ll be a car Nowadays it is really necessary for me and my family Firstly, it is safer to drive a car than to ride a motorbike because in a car there are air bags, seat belts, car alarm, etc, that prevent us from being injured if you have an accident Driving a car at night on a lonely road will be safer than riding a motorbike Secondly, you never have to think about the weather (such as rain, sun, storm, and dark at night) when you drive A car has an air-conditioner which helps you to avoid getting wet, dust… so it helps to keep you healthy In the third place, a car is comfortable and fast You can pretty much travel wherever you want whenever you want within your local area, without having to worry about the departure times and delays of the public transport system Furthermore, you will feel comfortable and relaxed with the CD and DVD machines on the car You can listen to music and you have the pleasure of driving When you are tired, you can stop the journey and rest Finally, if you have just the one car between you and your family, it can be possible to share the vehicle between all of the family members thus providing everyone with a mode of transport at all times Topic 2: The most useful machine in the twentieth century Among the most useful inventions in the last century, I find the computer the most important because of these reasons: First, when the computer is connected to the Internet, it is a good way of learning and getting information You can read newspapers online and download lots of information from the web pages Besides, you can learn online as well Second, computers are convenient because they help you work faster by typing, printing documents and storing data if you want Finally, computers are a good way to entertain with many kinds of games and entertainment There are a lot of games and online activities like forums or Facebook for you to share ideas and information with your friends You can also listen to music or watch movies if you like In short, computers are really useful and important to my life and my work Topic 3: Your favorite leisure activity (for women) I often cook when I have free time because cooking is a joyful and relaxing activity for me First, cooking a good meal brings happiness to my family All the members in my family can gather around the table and enjoy the food I cook and talk and share the joy with each other Second, cooking is my favorite hobby because I’m a woman Cooking is one way to show my feminine character and to show my responsibility in the family Finally, cooking helps me reduce stress from everyday hard work and makes me relaxed When I cook, I can forget the problems that I have and just pay attention to the cooking Maybe, after relaxing, I feel much happier and I can solve my problem In conclusion, cooking is my favorite activity when I have free time Topic 4: The advantages of living in the countryside Living in the countryside is really good for your life because of these reasons: First, living in the country can bring you a clean environment The air is fresher and there are lots of trees, rice fields and rivers You can walk on the fields or along the rivers to enjoy the clean and fresh air there in the early morning Second, living in the countryside is cheaper than in the city because people there have lower income and don’t have the habit of spending a lot of money If you live in the country, you can save a lot of money Finally, people in the country are more friendly and open than people in the city because they live near each other People live together in a small village so they can talk about the countryside and have festivals and you can join and feel very happy In conclusion, there are many benefits of living in the country Topic 5: The disadvantages of living in the city Many people find it difficult and unpleasant to live in the city because of these reasons: First, the air in the city is getting more and more polluted because the traffic is so heavy, the city roads are in bad conditions and the population is really big There are fewer and fewer trees, lakes and rivers Second, the cost of living is much higher than in the rural areas People have to spend more money on food, drink, clothes and other activities like traveling and entertainment, while the salary has not been much improved Finally, life in the city is more dangerous than in the countryside because of nightclubs, discotheques, casinos… City people are easily attracted by social evils such as drinking, drug or gambling, etc So, there are more crimes because some people don’t want to work but only want money to play In short, living in the city has many disadvantages so people have to struggle a lot to survive Topic 6: Talk about your weekend activities Weekend time is my favorite time in the week because I can enjoy myself and many relaxing activities I like In the morning, after a relaxing breakfast, I often call some of my friends to ask them to go shopping with me We spend the whole morning going shopping and then have lunch in a restaurant in the center of Hanoi Then, I came back home for a nap In the afternoon, I often go swimming with my neighbor if the weather is hot In winter I go jogging in the central park instead I usually have dinner with my family during the weekend, so we can talk with each other and share our stories After dinner, I sometimes listen to music or surf the net to chat with friends or check emails I usually not go to bed late because I will have lots of work on Monday In short, living in the city has many disadvantages so people have to struggle a lot to survive Topic 7: Talk about one of your hobbies People may have different hobbies such as listening to music, watching T.V, and dancing playing games or collecting things My hobby is to read books I enjoy reading many types of books, but my favorite is detective I like reading stories about Sherlock Holmes of author Conan Doyle I often read books in the evening after I finish preparing things for the next day’s work When I have free time, I often go to bookstores to look for new books Once a week, I go to the city library to read there I sometimes read books online if I cannot get hard copies of the books I want Books help me relax a lot after days of hard work Thanks to books, I can broaden my knowledge and learn new things Topic 8: The most interesting place you have been to I have been to many places in Vietnam, but the most interesting place that I always remember is Da Nang, the beautiful coastal city in Vietnam It’s wonderful to me because of these reasons: First, the scenery in Da Nang is ideal for us to go sunbathing We can swim in the blue and clear sea water or sunbathing on the soft sand beach under the yellow and warm sunshine The air is so fresh and pure Second, the local seafood is fresh, delicious but not expensive For example, tourists can enjoy different kinds of seafood such as crab, prawn, lobster, seashell, etc Also, the people there are friendly, sociable and polite Third, there are many interesting activities to besides playing football, tennis on the beach, building sandcastles on the beach or watching the sunrise For example, we can sail on a board trip to the Cu Lao Cham and watch the mountain scenery on the way Also, we may visit Ba Na Hill For these reasons, Da Nang has always been one of my favorite tourist attractions Topic 9: The importance of learning foreign languages Nowadays, it is very important to learn a foreign language because of these reasons: First, learning a foreign language, English for example, helps us learn and get information about new things in the world There are a lot of books written in English, French, Chinese, etc Second, it helps us feel confident when we travel abroad We can talk very easily with people in other countries and learn a lot from them We can use the language to work and business without an interpreter Finally, though a foreign language we learn we can learn more about the people of that country, we know a lot about their culture and society and customs and traditions We can become friends with many people so our life is more interesting In short, when we know a foreign language we can open a new world to our world Because of the benefits of learning foreign languages, one should know at least one foreign language Topic 10: Ways to have good health If you want to have good health, you should follow these pieces of advice: First, you should eat healthy food: lots of fruits, vegetables, fish and drink enough water everyday to stay healthy The Japanese eat a lot of fish so they live very long You should eat less meat and fat food because they may cause heart diseases and increase the cholesterol level in your blood Fruits and vegetables not only bring you lots of vitamins and minerals but also help you have a better immune system Second, you should exercise everyday by choosing a suitable sport such as jogging, tennis, swimming, yoga, etc They not only make you strong but help you relax as well So, it helps you keep fit and stay healthy If you don’t have much time, you just need to morning exercises regularly Finally, you need to have a regular health

channels available on TV these days such as the current news programs, sport programs, entertaining programs, educational programs and movie programs, etc, I like the program “the World of Animals” most This program is usually shown on VTV2 everyday at 8.30 in the evening It often lasts about 45 minutes In this program, stories of the life of many animals in the world are told in a very lively way For example, people can watch films about monkeys, snakes, tigers, insects, birds, sea turtles, sharks etc and even the penguins and the polar bears in the far North While watching these films, I find the everyday life activities and habits of these animals very interesting and full of mysteries In addition, I also learned that it is very important to protect these animals and their living environments because they are part of our valuable natural world Watching this program makes me very well informed and relaxed after a day of work Topic 12: Talk about your favorite sport These days, people are practicing many types of sports such as swimming, running, cycling, aerobics, tennis, table tennis, badminton, golf and football, etc My favorite sport is jogging Jogging is a simple sport to practice because you don’t need any special or expensive equipment like other sports In fact you just need a good pair of trainers for yourself The most suitable place for jogging is a park or somewhere around a lake near your house You can also jog in a field or in the forest if you are living in the countryside For me, I jog for about an hour in the afternoon everyday after work I usually go jogging alone, but if possible you can ask my family members, friends or neighbors to go with me While we jog, we often talk and share with each other about everyday life stories, so we feel that we can reduce our stress After going jogging each day, I feel that I am more relaxed and fit again after a long day of work Topic 13: Talk about one of your close friends I have had many friends so far, but Thanh Nga is one of my close friends Nga is about 30 years old and is now working as a researcher at an institute in Can Tho We met each other when we were in secondary school During those
