1 Decision: choose the major in university
Well, I can think of an important decision I made few years ago that isquite challenging for me At that time, I had to decide which universityand major I want to study, and what I want to do in the future
My parents want me to enroll in the acountant of “Academy of Finance”,they believed that for girls, something relate to economy and finance iseasier to find a full-time jobs than others
According to my ability, numbers and maths is not my strength, but I lovereading and researching information Therefore, on the contrary, I hopethat I can learn Law in HLU I assume that this major may utilize mycapility and more suitable to me
I still remember that I spent so much time just to get my parent’sagreement I remember that moment, my parents did not have belief in
me, and also totally worried if I had to suffer from the difficulty or thefailure when pusureing my career I have to make a promise with themthat I can deal with all the pros and cons, and try my best to sastisfy mydream, my passion
Until now, despite all the obstacle, I still glad that I did not give up mydream At this environment, I have so many friends and enthusiamlectures Pursuing my passion has allowed me to feel fulfilled and happy
Making the decision to study what I want was one of the most importantdecisions I've ever made, and it has changed my life in so many positiveways
2 Follow – up
- actually not, I think they are person who can make decision more quicklythan normal/ others and don’t seem to be stress over them They tend to beconfident and comfortable when making decision On the contrary, I alwaystake much time to think it through, and still worried after make it
- in order to make a good decision, I believe that we have to care much aboutthe possible alternatives and the consequences A good decision – makerchooses actions that give the best outcome for themselves and others They
Trang 8enter into the decision-making process with an open mind and do not let
their own biases sway them They make decisions rationally (hợp lý), after
researching alternatives and understanding the consequences
- I have to say that I am definitely an indecisive person I take much time todecide everything among many different options And I really hate to think
of what decision that I should make, so my answer always being “anything”,although it annoyed everyone sometimes
- From my point of view, most of the difficulty actually stems from (bắt
nguồn từ) having too many options When people have an excess of choices,
they might get caught up in (bị sao nhãng bởi) picturing the outcome of each
one, and as a result, they’ll have a hard time deciding on the one thatachieves the best result

2 Describe a person who taught you something: Grandfather – how to stop overthinking
I’m gonna tell you about my grandfather, who has instructed me how tostop overthinking He is also the family member that I really respect
In terms of his pesonality, he is an ambitious, hardworking and patientman According to some story about him, I can make sure that he had totry his best to earn money and go to university by himself in the same
Trang 9time With his high score at studying, he was given scholarships bygovernment to study aboard I am extremely admire him, who owncountless qualities that I can learn from
According to overthinking, he asked like “Do you see the next step?”.And I said Yes! His conclusion is “So just do it! Remember, wheneveryou feel worried about the future, just do everything that you can at best.And You gonna feel better at the end”
At first, I was not really understand what his mean, but Now I considerthat it’s totally right You know, we sometime fustuated of worryingabout the thing that did not happen, and its meaningless We just need towhat we can and then we gonna see the whole road

2 Describe a time when you helped someone
- I would like to talk about the time when I lent a hand to one of my
classmate in my secondary school
- It all started when the final exam was coming in next 3 weeks He is theonly one autistic people in my class
- I think he is really normal and healthy, also such an sociable person, excepthis ability in learning English quiet weak Hiss mother asked my teacher forsome solution, so she introduce me for her
- Therefore, I became his classmate for a while to help him revision andimprove his score At that time, I realize that although he met somedifficulties in remember vocabulary and understand how to use grammar, healways studied really hard and love learning
- I and he spend all the weekends and time after school to study together Atfirst, I believe this would not have any good result because teacher even cannot help him, so there is no reason that I can However, after I witnessed histry- his potential, I also deeply willing to support him
- we go through all the main points for the exam, learn and review vocabeveryday, we even had a conversation in English by phone every afternoon
Trang 11- The outcome really paid off He get 8 for the exam I felt extremely happyfor him I helped for his achievement, but I felt that I also receive something,
it is the precious lession of support eachother, and what is the true effort
3 Helping orther:
- In my mind, the help a person can do takes a variety of forms, like givingadvice to others, easing someone’s financial burden or helping neighbour waterthe plants Such actions are simple yet they can prove extremely helpful to theneedy person
- less reliable than from a friend or a family member, who tend to betterunderstand your situation or what you’ve been through
- HUMAN: not depents on data, put themselves on your shoes, have experiencesand may more mature than you are, can listen to you truly and deeply

1 What’s your favourite vegetables and fruit:
- fruit: watermelon, I would say juicy and sweet and crunchy and it cleanses
the palette It's texture is somewhat grainy and the clear sweet juice is trapped
between thin layers of its red texture and when we bite into the layers the juice explodes in our mouths and run down over lips Awesome experience for all -
child or adult
- vegetable: I’m not really into the green products, so If I have to choose, I
would say: pumpkin When the pumpkin is roasted, it brings out more of the
sweetness It’s texture is probably a little more ‘watery’ compared to sweet
potato, which is another vegetable we like to use the same way It mashes very well and is perfect as a puree to accompany fish or meat.
