Đề speaking part 2

SPEAKING PART Go to a prom Who are you going with? - Darling (No: I not want people TO know that I have a boyfriend) - Best friend (Yes: it’s fun, I could chat with her so we would have a good time together) - Alone (No: it’s boring) Organize a ten-year high school class reunion ● Visit old school & teachers (my old school is very far from here I can’t go back to my old school for or days because I am busy studying/working I will visit my old teachers during Tet holidays) ● Organize a party (Best choice: Most of my old friends live in Hochiminh city so we just need to arrange the time, book a restaurant and meet one another/each other) ● Hold a one-day trip (It is very hard for people to go on the trip together since they have different schedules) Make a presentation on a new product ● Powerpoint slides (not convenient, need equipment such as laptop, projector) ● a poster (too simple, can not provide a lot of information about the products, easy to forget) ● a video (interesting, people will remember well, we can send the video to customers for further information if they are interested) ● My situation is to make a presentation on a new product, and in my opinion, a video is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, a video is more engaging and interesting compared to PowerPoint slides It captures people's attention and keeps them interested throughout the presentation Secondly, a video allows for a better visualization of the product It can showcase the product's features, benefits, and how it works in a dynamic and compelling way For example, we can include product demonstrations, customer testimonials, and visually appealing graphics to convey the product's value effectively ● On the other hand, I would not choose PowerPoint slides because they require equipment such as a laptop and projector, which might not always be convenient or available Additionally, slides can be too text-heavy and may not leave a lasting impression on the audience Similarly, a poster is not a suitable option as it lacks the ability to provide detailed information about the product It is simple and easily forgotten, limiting its effectiveness in conveying the product's message ● In contrast, a video has the advantage of being memorable People tend to remember visual content better, and a well-crafted video can leave a lasting impression on viewers Moreover, we can send the video to customers for further information if they are interested, allowing them to revisit and share the content with others ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a video due to the above reasons It provides an engaging and informative medium to present the new product, ensuring that the audience is captivated and remembers the key information effectively Organize an activity to raise money to help poor students ● A school concert (not practical because not many people can join) ● a second- hand market (not convenient because we need to book a place/stand and prepare products/items to sell) ● A marathon (a lot of people can join, good for people to exercise and keep fit) ● My situation is to organize an activity to raise money to help poor students, and in my opinion, a marathon is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, a marathon allows a lot of people to join, maximizing the potential for fundraising It attracts participants from various backgrounds, including students, teachers, parents, and community members, ensuring a broad reach and increasing the chances of collecting substantial donations ● Secondly, organizing a marathon promotes community engagement and physical fitness simultaneously Participants not only contribute to a noble cause but also engage in a healthy and active pursuit This aspect of the event appeals to a wide range of individuals, encouraging them to support the initiative and participate actively ● For example, a marathon can be publicized through social media platforms, local community announcements, and collaboration with other organizations These efforts can generate widespread interest and encourage people to register for the event, further enhancing the fundraising potential ● On the other hand, a school concert may not be practical as it limits the number of people who can attend The audience size may be restricted to the capacity of the school's auditorium, reducing the overall fundraising impact Similarly, a secondhand market requires the booking of a place, stand preparation, and gathering items to sell, making it less convenient and potentially limiting the participation and fundraising potential ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a marathon due to the above reasons It allows for a large number of participants, promotes community engagement and physical fitness, and has the potential to generate significant funds for helping poor students A foreign friend is planning to visit your country and wondering about the best time to go there ● Spring (the weather is nice, many activities and festivals around the country ● Autumn (it often rains a lot in summer, it’s not good for traveling) ● Summer (it’s very hot and it’s a high season in Vietnam and services become very expensive) ● My situation is that a foreign friend is planning to visit my country and wondering about the best time to go there In my opinion, spring is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, the weather during spring is pleasant, with mild temperatures and a comfortable atmosphere, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploration Additionally, spring in my country is marked by numerous festivals and events, offering visitors a rich cultural experience and a chance to immerse themselves in the local traditions and customs ● On the other hand, I would not recommend summer as the best time to visit It tends to be very hot, which can make traveling uncomfortable, particularly for individuals not accustomed to high temperatures Moreover, summer is considered a high season in Vietnam, resulting in increased prices for accommodations, transportation, and other services, which may not be ideal for budget-conscious travelers ● Similarly, autumn may not be the ideal time to visit due to frequent rainfall While autumn can still offer pleasant weather and beautiful scenery, the presence of rain can affect outdoor activities and limit the overall experience for travelers ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would recommend spring as the best time to visit my country due to its favorable weather, abundance of activities and festivals, and the opportunity to enjoy the vibrant cultural atmosphere Your volunteer group is organizing a trip to help children in remote areas What is the best present? ● Books (very heavy to carry, not convenient to transport them to remote areas) ● Clothes (we will not know their size and kinds of clothes they want) ● Money (easy to carry, their parents will buy things they need) ● My situation is that my volunteer group is organizing a trip to help children in remote areas, and in my opinion, money is the best option as a present for the following reasons Firstly, money is easy to carry and transport to remote areas, eliminating the logistical challenges and weight associated with carrying heavy items like books It ensures that the resources reach the intended recipients efficiently ● Secondly, giving money allows the children and their parents to have the freedom to choose what they need the most We may not know the specific sizes or kinds of clothes the children want, which could result in mismatched or unused items Money empowers them to buy clothing or other essentials according to their preferences and immediate needs ● For example, the money can be used to purchase school supplies, nutritious food, or medical supplies, depending on the specific requirements of the children and their families It provides flexibility and addresses their most pressing needs effectively ● On the other hand, books, although valuable, can be cumbersome to transport to remote areas The weight and bulkiness of books may make it impractical to carry them during the trip Similarly, clothes present challenges as we may not know the children's sizes or their preferred styles, which could result in inappropriate or unused garments ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose money as the best present due to its ease of transport, flexibility for the recipients to address their specific needs, and the empowerment it provides to children and their families in remote areas What will you in a three-month summer holiday? ● Take a long course - I want to relax and something fun, I don’t want to study during the summer ● doing some volunteer work (it’s fun and good to help other people, I have some experience such as teaching and building houses and roads ● Traveling (for months is too much, I not have money or saving to that) ● My situation is deciding what to during a three-month summer holiday, and in my opinion, doing some volunteer work is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, it provides a sense of fulfillment and allows me to contribute to society while engaging in activities I enjoy I have previous experience in teaching and building houses and roads, which makes volunteering a meaningful and rewarding choice ● Secondly, volunteering is not only fun but also a way to help others in need It allows me to make a positive impact on the lives of others and bring about positive change in the community This experience can also broaden my perspective, enhance my skills, and develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion ● For example, I could volunteer at local schools or community centers, offering my teaching skills and helping children or adults with their education Alternatively, I could participate in construction projects, assisting in building houses or repairing roads for disadvantaged communities These activities not only benefit others but also provide me with personal growth and a sense of purpose ● On the other hand, taking a long course during the summer may not be ideal as I want to relax and have fun during this break It would be an opportunity to recharge and engage in activities outside of the academic realm ● Similarly, traveling for three months may not be feasible due to financial constraints It requires a substantial amount of money, which I may not have or have saved up for such an extended period of travel ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to some volunteer work during the three-month summer holiday due to its enjoyable nature, the opportunity to help others, and my previous experience in teaching and construction It allows me to make a positive impact, grow personally, and contribute to the community while still having a fulfilling and meaningful summer break Choosing a Primary school for your children School with highly focus on personality development (Best choice because young children need to develop their personality and characters during this time The role of primary education is to ensure broad based learning of the child This includes development of social, cognitive, emotional and physical skills School with highly focus on academic development (children at this age not need to learn a lot of knowledge, teaching young children’s necessary skills is more important than giving them a lot of knowledge) School with relaxing atmosphere (not good because children need to learn and play at the same time, if children only play at school and study a little, this is not good for their overall development) My situation is choosing a primary school for my children, and in my opinion, a school with a high focus on personality development is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, young children need to develop their personality and character during this critical time Primary education plays a crucial role in ensuring a broad-based learning experience for children, including the development of social, cognitive, emotional, and physical skills Secondly, a school that emphasizes personality development understands that at this age, children not need to acquire a vast amount of knowledge Instead, it prioritizes teaching essential skills that lay the foundation for their overall development For example, such a school may emphasize social interaction, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, creativity, and critical thinking These skills are essential for their future academic and personal success On the other hand, I would not choose a school with a highly focused on academic development as the primary focus for young children Their educational needs go beyond the acquisition of knowledge It is more crucial to foster their holistic growth during this formative stage Similarly, a school with a relaxing atmosphere may not be ideal as children need a balance between learning and play If they only engage in play without adequate learning opportunities, it may hinder their overall development and academic progress To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a primary school with a high focus on personality development due to the importance of nurturing children's character, social skills, and overall growth during this crucial stage This approach ensures a well-rounded education and sets a strong foundation for their future success Your sister is spoken ill on facebook ● Deactivate facebook account (it’s not good, she should keep her account active because she can update what’s on Facebook) ● talk to the teacher (this is a personal matter, so the teacher is not responsible for that) ● talk to your friend (this is the best option because she needs to know why she is spoken ill on Facebook ● My situation is that my sister is being spoken ill of on Facebook, and in my opinion, talking to my friend is the best option because of the following reasons ● ● ● ● ● Firstly, it is essential for my sister to understand why she is being spoken ill of on Facebook By discussing the matter with a friend, she can gather more information about the situation and gain insights into the possible reasons behind the negative comments Secondly, talking to a friend provides a supportive and understanding environment Friends can offer advice, empathy, and reassurance, helping my sister navigate through the emotional impact of the situation They can also provide a fresh perspective and help her decide on the appropriate course of action For example, a friend may have noticed or heard something relevant to the negative comments, such as a misunderstanding, jealousy, or a personal issue Their insights can shed light on the situation and guide my sister in addressing the matter effectively On the other hand, deactivating the Facebook account may not be a good choice Keeping the account active allows my sister to stay connected with others and share updates about her life Deactivating the account could isolate her from her social circle and limit her ability to engage with others on the platform Talking to the teacher may not be the most appropriate option in this case, as the issue primarily concerns personal interactions on social media rather than a school-related matter It is more suitable for my sister to address the situation privately with her friends To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to talk to my friend due to the reasons mentioned above It allows my sister to gather information, receive support, and understand the reasons behind the negative comments on Facebook This approach enables her to make informed decisions on how to handle the situation while maintaining an active and connected presence on the platform 10 Cheating on exam ● subtract 50% (cheating is a crime so it’s not right and it’s not fair if he/she is subtracted 50% of the marks, he/she should be punished for cheating ● delete test paper (the best option because he/she cheats so the paper should be given a zero This is part of the school’s regulation ● prohibition (I think this is a heavy punishment for only time cheating) ● My situation is dealing with cheating on an exam, and in my opinion, deleting the test paper and giving a zero is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, cheating is a violation of academic integrity and goes against the principles of fairness and honesty By deleting the test paper and giving a zero, it enforces the consequences of such behavior and upholds the school's regulations ● Secondly, this approach sends a clear message that cheating is not acceptable and will not be tolerated It establishes a deterrent for future instances of cheating and promotes a culture of academic integrity within the school community ● For example, by deleting the test paper and giving a zero, it ensures that the student does not benefit from their dishonest actions It holds them accountable for their behavior and sends a strong signal that cheating has serious consequences ● On the other hand, subtracting 50% of the marks may not be an appropriate choice Cheating is a serious offense, and a mere reduction in marks may not adequately address the issue or discourage further cheating A more substantial punishment is necessary to maintain the integrity of the education system ● Similarly, imposing a prohibition as a punishment may be too severe for a firsttime offense It is essential to consider the circumstances and provide an appropriate consequence that allows the student to learn from their mistake and rectify their behavior ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to delete the test paper and give a zero as the appropriate consequence for cheating This approach upholds academic integrity, sends a strong message against cheating, and ensures that the student does not benefit from their dishonest actions 11 Choose primary school for your children academic school, relaxing atmosphere, good facilities My situation is choosing a primary school for my children, and in my opinion, an academic school is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, an academic-focused school prioritizes the development of strong foundational knowledge and essential skills, which are crucial for future academic success It provides a rigorous curriculum and effective teaching methods to ensure that students receive a quality education Secondly, such a school emphasizes intellectual growth, critical thinking, and problemsolving abilities It equips children with the necessary skills to excel academically and prepares them for higher levels of education For example, an academic school may offer a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, sciences, languages, and humanities It may also provide additional resources such as libraries, laboratories, and educational technologies to enhance the learning experience On the other hand, a relaxing atmosphere alone may not be sufficient in preparing children for academic challenges While it is important for children to feel comfortable and enjoy their learning environment, an excessive focus on relaxation may undermine the necessary academic rigor and discipline required for their educational journey Similarly, good facilities, although important, should not be the sole determining factor in choosing a primary school While modern and well-equipped facilities contribute to a conducive learning environment, the quality of education and the school's academic focus should take precedence To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose an academic school for my children due to its emphasis on intellectual development, strong foundational knowledge, and effective teaching methods While a relaxing atmosphere and good facilities are beneficial, they should complement and support the school's academic focus rather than overshadow it 12 Your sister’s class allows her to choose her seat and she is not shortsighted There are three options for her to choose ● A front seat (are for short sighted students so my sister should not sit there) ● A middle seat (good for other students who are shorter than my sister ● A back seat (the best choice, my sister is tall not short sighted, she still can see the board when she sits in the back) ● My situation is that my sister has the freedom to choose her seat in class, and in my opinion, the back seat is the best option for her because of the following reasons Firstly, the front seat is typically reserved for short-sighted students, and since my sister does not have any visual impairment, it would not be appropriate for her to sit there ● Secondly, the middle seat may be suitable for students who are shorter in height, but considering my sister's taller stature, the back seat would provide her with a better view of the board and the teacher's instructions ● For example, sitting in the back allows my sister to have an unobstructed line of sight to the front of the classroom, enabling her to see and comprehend the lesson materials effectively It also minimizes distractions that may occur closer to the front ● On the other hand, choosing a front seat when not necessary for visual reasons may limit my sister's overall view and interaction with the rest of the class It is important for her to have a comfortable seating position that allows her to actively participate and engage with her peers ● To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would advise my sister to choose the back seat It offers her a clear view of the board, eliminates unnecessary distractions, and accommodates her taller stature Considering her lack of visual impairment and the benefits mentioned above, the back seat is the most suitable choice for her in this scenario 13 Summer camp (the best choice, have fun with friends, travel to a new place, there are many activities for students to enjoy themselves) live with grandpa ( get bored because no friends to play with, grandpa may not know how to entertain the children) military training course (too expensive, children have to stay far from parents/family ) My situation is deciding on summer activities for children, and in my opinion, a summer camp is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, it provides an opportunity for children to have fun with their friends and engage in various activities that promote their social and personal development They can enjoy themselves while building new friendships and creating lasting memories Secondly, a summer camp offers the chance to travel to a new place, adding excitement and adventure to the experience Exploring unfamiliar environments, cultures, and landscapes can broaden children's horizons and foster their personal growth For example, summer camps offer a wide range of activities that cater to different interests and preferences From sports and arts to team-building exercises and outdoor adventures, there is something for everyone to enjoy and actively participate in On the other hand, living with a grandparent may not be as stimulating for children as a summer camp They may get bored without friends to play with, and their grandparent may not possess the knowledge or resources to entertain them adequately Similarly, enrolling children in a military training course can be prohibitively expensive, and the separation from parents and family can be emotionally challenging To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose a summer camp for children due to the reasons mentioned above It offers the opportunity to have fun with friends, travel to new places, and engage in various enjoyable activities While living with a grandparent or attending a military training course may have their merits, a summer camp provides a more comprehensive and enriching experience for children during the summer break 14 Get news newspaper, online, radio My situation is finding the best way to get news, and in my opinion, accessing news online is the best option because of the following reasons Firstly, online news platforms provide instant access to the latest updates and breaking news from around the world With just a few clicks, we can stay informed about current events and developments in real-time Secondly, online news offers a wide range of sources and perspectives We can explore multiple news websites, read articles, watch videos, and listen to podcasts from various reputable sources This diversity allows us to form a well-rounded understanding of different viewpoints on important issues For example, online news platforms often provide interactive features such as comment sections and social media sharing, enabling us to engage in discussions and share our own opinions with a global audience This fosters a sense of community and encourages active participation in shaping public discourse On the other hand, relying solely on newspapers for news updates may result in delayed information, as newspapers are published at specific intervals and may not cover the most recent events comprehensively Similarly, while radio broadcasts offer live news updates and analysis, they lack the visual component that online news provides, such as images, videos, and infographics, which can enhance our understanding of complex topics To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose accessing news online due to its immediacy, diverse sources, and interactive features While newspapers and radio broadcasts have their merits, online news offers a more dynamic and comprehensive news experience in today's digital age Choice: Online Reasons for choosing online: Accessibility: Online news provides instant access to a wide range of sources from anywhere with an internet connection, making it convenient for staying informed Timeliness: Online platforms offer real-time updates, breaking news alerts, and live streaming options, ensuring the latest information is readily available Variety and customization: Online news allows access to diverse sources and the ability to personalize news feeds based on individual interests Multimedia content: Online platforms incorporate multimedia elements like images and videos, enhancing the news consumption experience Social interaction: Online news encourages sharing, discussion, and engagement through comments, social media, and forums, enabling interaction with others Reasons for not choosing newspaper or radio: Newspaper: Limited timeliness: Newspapers are printed on a fixed schedule and may not provide the most current news Lack of interactivity: Newspapers not offer the same level of interactivity and engagement as online platforms Radio: Limited access: Radio requires access to a specific station and may not offer the same breadth of news coverage as online sources Lack of visual content: Radio lacks visual elements, such as images or videos, which can provide additional context to news stories 15 Graduate thesis online, library, journals Choice: Journals Reasons for choosing journals for a graduate thesis: Academic Credibility: Journals are a reputable and reliable source for scholarly research They undergo a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring the quality and validity of the information Specialized Knowledge: Journals often focus on specific disciplines or fields, providing in-depth and specialized information that is crucial for a graduate thesis Current Research: Journals publish the latest research findings, allowing researchers to stay updated with the most recent advancements in their field of study Citations and References: Journals provide extensive bibliographic information, including references and citations, which are essential for supporting and grounding a graduate thesis in existing research audience They can articulate their journey, share valuable lessons, and inspire the youth club members to strive for success in their own endeavors For example, the company president can share stories of overcoming setbacks, making tough decisions, and achieving milestones in their professional life These anecdotes can serve as powerful motivators and teach important life lessons to the youth club members I would not choose the famous singer as a speaker because while they may have achieved success in their field, their life experiences may not directly align with the overall theme of the talk The focus of the event is on broader life experiences, and a famous singer's career may not encompass the same range of challenges and lessons as that of a company president Lastly, while an excellent student may possess impressive academic achievements, their life experience may be relatively limited compared to a company president They are still in the early stages of their personal and professional development, and their insights may not provide the same depth and breadth as someone with more life experience In conclusion, if I were in that situation, I would choose a company president as the best choice for the youth club's speaker on life experience Their extensive experience, leadership skills, and relatable stories make them ideal candidates to inspire and guide the young audience 24 You are planning to have a Sunday evening out There are options to choose: ● seeing a movie ● going shopping ● singing Karaoke What is the best choice? My situation is that I am planning to have a Sunday evening out and I have three options to choose from: seeing a movie, going shopping, and singing karaoke In my opinion, the best choice would be singing karaoke for the following reasons Firstly, singing karaoke provides a fun and interactive experience It allows me to express myself creatively, enjoy music, and have a great time with friends or family Karaoke sessions often involve laughter, bonding, and creating memorable moments, making it an enjoyable and entertaining choice for a Sunday evening out Secondly, singing karaoke offers a unique form of self-expression It allows me to choose and perform my favorite songs, showcasing my vocal abilities and connecting with the music on a personal level It can be a stress-relieving activity, providing a chance to let loose, unleash my inner performer, and simply have a good time For example, gathering at a karaoke lounge or using a karaoke machine at home with loved ones can create a lively and energetic atmosphere We can take turns singing, encouraging each other, and enjoying the music together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared enjoyment I would not choose seeing a movie because it is a more passive and solitary activity While watching a movie can be enjoyable, it may not provide the same level of social interaction and engagement as singing karaoke Similarly, going shopping can be a leisurely activity, but it may not offer the same level of excitement and entertainment as singing karaoke Shopping is often focused on individual preferences and may not foster the same level of group interaction and enjoyment To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose singing karaoke as the best choice for a Sunday evening out It provides a fun, interactive, and engaging experience, allowing me to express myself through music, bond with others, and create lasting memories 25 Younger sister told lies many times What are you going to ● having a talk with her (the best choice, I will talk to her, explain to her that it’s not good to tell lies, give her good advice) ● informing your parents (not necessary, my parents may not understand my sister as much as I do, her lies are not that serious, I would this if my sister continued to tell lies, parents may punish my sister and I not want this to happen) ● letting her continue telling lies (not good for her character development in the future) What is your choice? My situation is that my younger sister has been telling lies repeatedly In my opinion, the best option would be to have a talk with her about this issue This choice is supported by the following reasons Firstly, having a talk with her allows for open communication and understanding It provides an opportunity to address the problem directly and express my concerns about her habit of lying Through a conversation, I can emphasize the importance of honesty and the negative consequences that lying can have on relationships and trust Secondly, talking to her can help uncover the underlying reasons behind her tendency to lie It is possible that she may be experiencing difficulties or fears that lead her to resort to dishonesty By listening to her perspective, I can offer guidance, support, and help her find healthier ways to deal with her emotions or challenges For example, during the conversation, I can share personal experiences or stories to illustrate the impact of lying and how honesty can strengthen relationships I can also provide guidance on problem-solving strategies or offer suggestions for alternative ways to communicate or express herself I would not choose to inform my parents as the first course of action because involving them immediately may create a sense of fear or hostility It is important to establish trust and open communication with my sister first, allowing her the opportunity to understand and rectify her behavior Lastly, letting her continue telling lies is not a good choice either because it enables and reinforces this negative behavior Ignoring the issue may lead to further complications and damage trust within the family To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose to have a talk with my younger sister about her habit of lying By addressing the issue directly, offering guidance, and emphasizing the importance of honesty, we can work towards fostering trust and helping her develop more positive communication habits 26 You are studying economics and need daily update on economic news: ● Internet/ ● Tv/ ● radio What is the best choice? My situation is that I am studying economics and need daily updates on economic news In my opinion, the best choice for receiving these updates would be the internet This choice is supported by the following reasons Firstly, the internet provides a wide range of sources and platforms dedicated to economic news Various reputable websites, news portals, and financial publications offer up-to-date information on economic trends, market analysis, and policy developments This accessibility allows me to stay informed and access a diverse range of perspectives and insights Secondly, the internet offers convenience and flexibility I can access economic news anytime and anywhere using a computer, laptop, or mobile device with an internet connection This flexibility allows me to integrate the consumption of economic news into my daily routine and stay updated without being tied to specific broadcast schedules For example, by browsing economic news websites, I can read articles, watch video interviews, and listen to expert opinions on various economic topics I can also utilize social media platforms to follow influential economists and financial institutions, enabling me to receive real-time updates and engage in discussions with a broader community I would not choose TV as the primary option because it is limited by specific programming schedules and may not always prioritize economic news coverage While some dedicated channels offer economic analysis and reports, the content may be less comprehensive compared to the vast resources available on the internet Similarly, radio may provide economic news updates, but it lacks the visual element and depth of information compared to internet sources The nature of radio broadcasting may also restrict the frequency and timing of updates
