In my to-meet list, there are so many famous people who I’m very much interested in and dream to meet The person I would like to talk today, she’s a country music singer, Taylor Swift
I could start off by saying that she is just impeccable She is not only a popular singer but also a talented song writer
Well, with a sweet and amazing voice, she is the first female artist has won Grammy Award for Album of The Year twice, which is extremely prestigious and noble
In addition to a singer, she is renowned as a musician with an innate ability She always loves writing songs about her own life Perhaps, for this reason, her songs are so inspiring and vivid, which always cheer me up whenever I feel down in the dumps
And I shouldn’t forget to mention that all the time, she looks gorgeous like an angel in dresses, which helps her earn the title “The princess of the country music”
Something else I need to comment on is that she is very kind-hearted and sympathetic You know, she founded a charitable organization which raises funds to support poor children in the third world
You know, properly I can never forget a compliment on her personality in
a magazine, which said that: “Swift radiates her kindness wherever she goes” That’s all I can say about my beloved idol
Thanks for your listening

A famous person who I am really interested in is definitely My Tam
She is the best pop singer in Viet Nam who embarked on her singing career
in 1999 The Da Nang-born singer has recently become Vietnam’s first-ever artist to be listed on Billboard’s World Albums chart, after releasing her ninth studio album ‘Tam 9’
My Tam is my biggest idol because she is a great singer with beautiful voice Some years ago, I caught a glimpse of her on TV and was immediately
hooked by her outstanding performance I have become her loyal fan since
then I really like the way she sings and the way she expresses the feeling of
the song To my admiration, she has always worked seriously to give high
quality music products
My Tam is beloved for her good personality too She is known to all
her fans for her gregariousness and sense of humor Besides, she has also
devoted her time to organizing free concerts for university students
nationwide Together with her fans and friends, she has been doing a lot of
charity activities silently to help the poor, the sick and the homeless people.

I am going to tell you about a well-known physicist whose biography
recently really caught my attention He is a house-hold name around the
world, Albert Einstein
He is recognized as the father of modern physics and he was the
founder of the Theory of Relativity, which became an essential, if not the
most important, contribution to modern science He was also awarded the Nobel Physics prize thanks to this discovery
Besides knowing him due to his many achievements, I did come across and read a biography of him on the internet which really intrigued me and
contained a lot of information that made me admire him a lot His childhood
was not as carefree as I initially thought and I was totally impressed by his
perseverance and dedication to science despite having communication
problems at a very young age
I love how Albert Einstein lived and worked with passion and
enthusiasm all his life, which, I feel is a shining example and a great
inspiration for me to follow Albert was hunted by the Nazi’s for most of his adult life, yet he never abandoned his love for science and kept working even
when he was running to protect himself
So, in other words, he really inspired me to pursue my goals and
dreams with all I that I have, despite any difficulties that I may come across along the way

ESSAY 1
Well, everyone loves shopping, and I enjoy it as much as anyone I frequently visit the grocery store, departmental store, electronics store, garment
& textile shop, book store, etc Out of all the stores, I frequently visit the departmental store because everything from packed food, groceries to stationery, cosmetics, medicines, biscuits, and snacks can be purchased under one roof The name of this departmental store is Blooming dale, which is located in the central area of Virginia The store offers a wide range of fresh goods and quality products in various categories, including Appliances and Electronics, Cosmetics, Accessories, Kitchenware, Groceries, Cutlery, and many more Additional services like gift wrapping, alterations, delivery, and personal shopping are also offered I like this store because they frequently offer sales, discounts, festival offers, and special seasonal coupons every month, drawing customer attention The store aims to satisfy the rich and a higher middle-class group Therefore, more attention is given to quality, choice, convenience and service rendered to the customer

The store, named “The Daily Shop”, is located near the place where I live
in the city of Samsun in Turkey This is a large superstore and sells a wide variety of products The shop has many positive aspects First of all, it is accessible from any part of the city for its geographical location Further, the interior decoration of the shop is admirable This is an interesting cue card topic and I am glad to have it I will answer the reaming questions and describe the shop in brief And thank you for the opportunity to let me talk about it
This store is open to all and they have numerous types of commodities People often go there to purchase products for their household use Besides, this
a good place to pick a gift item for someone I guess the number of adult-male customers is higher than females and children on an ordinary day On a weekend, however, more female customers could be seen I am not sure why this is the case but I guess female shoppers prefer shopping on weekends rather than weekdays!
The shop mostly sells the daily necessaries like the canned food, toiletries, cosmetics, fruits, groceries, vegetables, dairy products, fish, packaged food, various types of meats like beef, chicken, soft beverages like juice and the list goes on
I appreciate their efforts to ensure the quality of each product I frequently visit the shop as it is adjacent to my residence So, while returning from my office, I go there to buy something I need at home And I sometimes visit this store to check their latest collection of toiletries and perfumes I also like the way they serve the clients

Shopping is one of my least favorite things to do, but unfortunately, life doesn’t exactly care whether I like it or not So, I have to go to a shop regardless But, to make my “shopping job” a little less troubling, I have picked
up one particular shop – a super shop that is – which I would like to talk about
As I have mentioned earlier, it is a “super shop” which is only about a few minutes’ drive from where I live But, since it is not really located in some popular part of the city, this super shop has remained “obscure” to many city-dwellers for the most part But, still, this super shop attracts a rather large number of shoppers from all walks of life who almost regularly visit this shop
In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to suggest that most of the customers of this particular shop consider it as their “family super shop” because they have built up a special relationship with its staffs Here it is worth mentioning that it
is not exactly a very big shop, probably not more than 1000 square feet, and so even a small gathering of customers in it at any given time would make this super shop look rather crowded
Anyway, the visitors of this super shop can be anybody, from regular factory workers to top executives of some big companies, who visit it in order
to meet their daily shopping needs, be it buying just a loaf of bread or some fruits and vegetables The super shop also offers other products and merchandises like cosmetics, perfumes, dairy products, toiletries, small kitchen appliances, meat products, fish and different kinds of snacks among other things
In conclusion, I like visiting this shop mainly because it is very close to
my home Great customer services and relatively cheaper prices on many of its products, and the availability of some fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the reasons for which I like to visit this super shop Finally, I like this shop because
it remains clean and tidy most of the times

Describe an interesting place to visit
You should say:
where it is located
what you can do there
what its special features are
and explain what you think it is worth visiting
ESSAY 1
Ho Chi Minh City is a popular tourist destination due to its fascinating
culture, classic French architecture, sleek skyscrapers as well as ornate
temples and pagodas As a result, it is pretty difficult to pick out one particular place among millions of tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City Personally, I believe that Bitexco Financial Tower is the most impressive
skyscraper It is located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s business and
entertainment district At completion in 2010, it became the tallest building in Vietnam until January 2011
The creative mastermind behind Bitexco drew inspiration for this skyscraper’s unique shape from Vietnam’s national flower, the lotus To the Vietnamese, the lotus is a symbol of purity, commitment and optimism.
This 68-storey building features many offices, shops, restaurants The main attraction at the tower is the Sky Deck where visitors can enjoy dramatic
views across the bustling city below.
There are lots of places I like to go in Ho Chi Minh city, depending on
my mood If you want to enjoy the hectic and modern lifestyle, Bitexco is an ideal attraction to consider

One of the most interesting places I have ever come to was Hoi An ancient town Located in Quang Nam, a central region of Vietnam This place attracts hordes of tourists every year to come and enjoy the wonderful time in Hoi An
I went to Hoi An about 5 years ago when I graduated from university At that time, I never thought I could have a wonderful experience in here Hoi An
is really a holiday destination for everyone who love the breathtaking view and the atmosphere Every house in Hoi An left me with some memories about the past and also reminded everyone how prosperous the town had
I visited Hoi An ancient town because I was craving for sampling the local food in here The cuisine of central region was so different from other regions Although I and my buddies had initially planned on which places to visit, I always ended up going off the beaten track there were too many interesting places to explore The weather was also a factor which made me love this place much I believed the cool weather of Hoi An would dispel the heat of summer in southern area
I really enjoyed my time in Hoi An ancient town It was a one-of-a-kind experience, and if I have enough money, I will gladly have another trip back to this town

Vietnam is worldwide famous for its scenic landscape and outstanding food, and Da Nang is definitely a place where you can be very well catered for both of them It is located in the central part of Vietnam and the city itself is a colorful burst of energy between its fast modernization and charm of the old towns
Danang is one of the most attractive destinations for tourists thanks to its long stunning beaches All the beaches have long stretches of white sand and the water is crystal clear The sea can be calm at times but the surf can also be spectacular The beach is not only beautiful but also easy to reach by different kinds of transport as it lies right next to the city
Danang is also popular for its set of 6 awesome and quite eccentric bridges and that strikes many visitors to this fair city
And if you have any chance to visit this lovely city, don’t forget to try its local food and let me put this simply Danang is a food lover dream
With endless and insanely delicious food options, you could live here for years and never stop discovering the variety of authentic dishes in Central Vietnam It’s got everything you could ever want for every mood and every palate

Describe your favorite food
You should say:
what it is and what its ingredients are
how to make this food
where you often eat it
and explain why you like it so much
ESSAY 1
I’d like to tell you about the food that I really like
It’s Phở- one of the specialties in Vietnamese cuisine Phở has several diversities, but I like Phở Thìn the most It has been popular with not only Vietnamese people but also foreign tourists In recent years, it has been featured
on CNN and other American TV channels
Phở consists of rice noodles, sliced beef, broth made from beef bones and onions All the ingredients are put in a bowl with onions on top of the beef
There are a bunch of places where you can eat Phở, and the prices greatly vary But I would recommend Phở Thìn on Lò Đúc street as the price is very reasonable– it costs only 30,000 VNĐ while it may cost 50.000 – 1000,000 VNĐ at other places
Honestly, a bowl of Phở is always mouth-watering to me The tastes of all ingredients are in perfect harmony It has a delicate taste and smells so good that I can’t resist it whenever I go past Phở is also nutritious enough to be a typical breakfast in Vietnam
Plus, I really respect the painstaking efforts to make Phở You know, it might take up to 10 hours to make Phở Those who make Phở should have a big
