Which you think is the best choice? Sample 1: My situation is that……… - In my opinion, a first-year student should live in a university hostel for the following reasons - Firstly, it is cheap to stay there Students have to pay tuition fees, pay for food, books and so on So, living in the dormitory can save them a lot of money - Secondly, It is convenient to stay there because it is close to university, students can walk there It saves time and money - Besides, It is easy to share the learning materials for study with roommates Students can study in groups with roommates, can ask them for advice or discuss with them - I don’t choose to rent a flat because it is expensive and unsafe/ insecure (ko an toàn) - I don’t want to stay with relatives because I think I don’t feel comfortable, they might live far from university Moreover, I don’t have time to study - In short, living in university dormitory is the best option Sample 2: - Renting a flat: I can live independently/ I can become more independent; mature; It allows me to what I like - Hostel: crowded, inconvenient - Stay with relatives because I think I don’t feel comfortable, they might live far from university Moreover, I don’t have time to study TÌNH HUỐNG 4: WIN A LOTTERY If you won the lottery of billion VND; what would you do? Buying a house? Buying gold or saving in the bank? Which you think is the best choice? - I think I would buy a house because of the following reasons./ In my opinion buying a house is the best option for the following reasons - Firstly, at the moment I have to rent a house Having my own house has been my dream since I graduated from university I don’t have my own house I don’t have to worry about finding/looking for accommodation - Secondly, a stable accommodation leads to a stable job I feel comfortable living in my own house I would be very proud of buying a house for my family - I don’t choose to buy gold because I am not good at doing business, the price of gold goes up and down I don’t know Moreover, I am worried about where to keep it - I think it is not a good idea to save money in the bank because the interest rate (lãi suất) is now low Moreover, money will lose its value when we keep it in the bank because of inflation - In short, I would choose to buy a house./ Buying a house is the best choice TÌNH HUỐNG 5: CHOOSING A HIGH SCHOOL You have a younger brother who is a talented student Which high school would you choose for him: a school abroad in Australia; a public school near home or a gifted school far from home (trường chuyên) Sample 1: - In my opinion, a public school near my house is the best option because of the following reasons - Firstly, he can still live with my family He can be well taken care of = My family can take care of him well - Secondly, as he lives at home, my family does not have to pay for his rent or other living costs The tuition fee of public schools is cheaper than other kinds of schools - About other options, I don’t choose a gifted school far away from home because he has to live on his own, can’t see the family often, he might feel homesick./ he sometimes get sick easily - I think studying abroad is not a good option because living in another country is quite challenging for a young person like him / It’s too expensive, my family can’t afford it - In short, wherever he studies, it is himself who decided what he can learn, so I think the public school close to my house is the best choice for him TÌNH HUỐNG 6: WAYS TO IMPROVE ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS You want to improve your English speaking skills There are options for you: joining an English club; joining an English class at the center or talking to foreigners in public places - In my opinion taking an English course is the best choice because of the following reasons - Firstly, ( The first reason is that ) a course in an English center gives me lessons from the beginning level to higher level It provides me with a lot of real life situations I can take part in many speaking activities - Secondly, ( The second reason is that ) the teachers in the center are always the experienced teachers who know which materials are the best for the students, they can correct the mistakes, they have good teaching methods which make students find easy to understand -Although an English club and talking to some foreigners have some advantages to some extend However, I don’t choose to join an English club because it is often noisy, you hardly hear what other people are saying No one corrects my mistakes - I not choose to talk to foreigners in public places because they are busy sightseeing, they are not willing to speak to us - In short, taking an English course is the best option to me TÌNH HUỐNG 7: WHEN TO WEAR UNIFORM Your school asks for your opinion about students’ wearing uniforms Which would you choose: wearing uniforms all week, wearing uniforms days a week or no uniform at all? Sample 1: - In my opinion, I would choose to wear uniform all week because of the following reasons - Firstly, students dress in the same way; there is no difference between the rich students and the poor students so the poor students will feel more confident Students feel equal to each other - Secondly, students wear uniforms all week, so they don’t have to think of what to wear everyday or mix different clothes before getting to school - Finally, uniforms show the school unity They tell other people what school you belong to Students feel proud of their school - About other options: I don’t choose wearing days a week because it is easy for students to forget what days they have to wear uniforms - I don’t choose no uniform because the school unity will be lost - In short, wearing uniforms all week is still a good option Many schools are now asking students to wear uniforms all week Sample 2: - In my opinion, I choose the option of wearing days a week on Monday and one weekday maybe Friday - Firstly, students can be proud of their school with the logo on the uniform; this option can be guaranteed on important dates especially for big ceremonies or meeting every Monday morning - Secondly, students can show their personality comfortably by wearing fashionable clothes the other days They can feel more comfortable, they can wear their favorite clothes and keep up with fashion trends nowadays - About other options: wearing all week makes students feel uncomfortable; they don’t have chance to wear fashionable clothes; and if they not wear uniform, the school unity will be lost - In short, I think students should wear uniforms days a week TÌNH HUỐNG 8: A GIFT FOR YOUR COUSIN Your cousin is the best student of the class this year His parents are thinking about a present, there are three options: a laptop; a holiday or some money Which option would you suggest him?

- In my opinion, going shopping with friends is the best choice because of the following reasons - Firstly, my friends are all keen on shopping You know, it is great to spend money on buying favorite items such as clothes, shoes - Secondly, going shopping is also a good way to reduce stress after hard working hours When I go to the supermarket with my friends and collect some items that I like, I feel really relaxed and excited - About other options, I think seeing is movie is entertaining but we don’t like watching films, it is difficult to choose a film that all of us like - Singing karaoke is not my choice because I am not good at singing I don’t like too noisy atmosphere in karaoke bars In short, going shopping is the best choice for me and my friends on a Sunday evening TÌNH HUỐNG 10: WHAT TO KEEP MEMORIES AT UNIVERSITY 10 Your class wants to something to keep memories at the university before graduation Which option you think is the best one: a collection of essays; a class photo book or a class video? - In my opinion the best choice is a class video because of the following reasons - The reason is that (Firstly) , making a video helps to record real emotions and voices activities of all class members - Secondly, we can keep unforgettable memories in an exciting way with a video We can both see images and hear voices of our friends - Finally, we can keep it as a soft copy on Google drive or Youtube to avoid being lost Whenever we want to see we can open it And it is easy to share, easy to keep - I don’t choose a collection of essays because it takes my classmates much time to prepare and write essays It is quite boring to read all of them - A photo book is not my choice because it is not as interesting as a class video and it is expensive to make the photobook - In short, a class video is my best choice to keep memories TÌNH HUỐNG 11: SEEING AN ACCIDENT 11 You are on the way to taking a very important exam Suddenly, you see a person getting accident There are options: keep going and ignore; stop to help that person or take the exam simultaneously call the ambulance (đang đường thi gặp người bị tai nạn; có lựa chọn: lờ tiếp tục đi; dừng lại để giúp; gọi điện cứu thương sau thi) Sample 1: - In my opinion I would choose to call the ambulance then take the exam because of the following reasons - Firstly, the exam is very important to me This is my final term test - Secondly, calling the ambulance can help him get the immediate emergency aid from the hospital Experienced doctors know the best way to treat him and save his life - I don’t keep going and ignore because I think it is important to save a person’s life as we live in the same society, we should help each other in life - Although stopping to help that person is a good idea, I might miss the important exam - In short, call the ambulance is the best choice in this case ...
