TOPIC WRITE A LETTER TO A PENPAL ABOUT A PERSON WHO HAS GREAT INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE. Dear Lan, How have you been ? In your previous letter you have asked me about a person who I admire most.I strongly believe that the person who inspires me the most is my mom ( Mrs Mai) First of all she is the one that gave me LIFE! Although my mother is not very modern and beatiful, there is a whole bunch of reasons why I admire HER. One reason is that my mother is always honest and close to me. Whenever I go out, she waits for and phones me so I feel so safe about that. Even when I’m outside alone, she’s still watching me from the window. Another reason why she inspires me is because she supports me as a good teaher. If it is for homework, putting something together or even when I’m playing. She’s always there teaching me new things. Last reason she inspires me is she loves me no matter what. She loves me when I a great job on something, or when I help my sister even when I some thing wrong my mother always tries to understand and makes me see the things the a proper way. Sometimes my mom is so busy doing house work or tired but if I need her help, she stops and comes to me. For example, Last year when I was riding my bike, I crashed into a tree and my mom was the only one there to help me up and get me patched up with some huge bandages. After she did that, she helped me a lot getting everywhere because it hurted when I walked. Thirdly, my mom takes good care of me. When I get illness my mom not only gives the medicine but also stays with me massaging my head and make sure that I get the rest I need. My lovely mom always supports, helps, hugs, kisses, gives me confidence, listens, makes me laugh, cheers me up, wipes my tears. My moyher will be in my mind forever… I hope to get your letter soon, thank for your reading !!! Best wishes to you and your family, Lan TOPIC 2: WRITE ABOUT A SPORTING EVENT YOU SAW RECENTLY. As a huge sports fan I’d say that the most widespread sporting event would probably be the Summer Olympic Games which is held once every four years. Hence the sporting event I will talk about is the 2012 Olympics Games which were held in London. Firstly, As you may know the Olympics Games is a sporting event where athletes from all over the world compete against each other while representing their own countries. It includes different types of sports such as ball sports, athletics, gymnastics and… etcetera. Secondly, I am quite fond of swimming so I remember one evening I and my father were watching the 1500m free style on television. When I was watching this I was thinking about how long and how hard the swimmers must have trained in order for them to swim 1500m without stopping. To my surprise the winner of this race was actually a Chinese competitor, Sun Young. My father was really overjoyed and cheerful because China has never won a gold medal in swimming before. The next day this event was all over the news and all the media was praising him. In conclusion I and my family like the summer Olympic games in 2012 so much because all the competitors all their best and the relationship between them is so close and wonderful. I am looking forward to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio and I think that this future event will be more interesting and wonderful to the spectators in the world./. TOPIC 3: WRITE A PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF EXERCISE. People usually say that “ heath is gold’. Infact, having good heath is considered the most important factor in our life. It is clear that there are a lot of ways to help people to have good health but in my opinion I think that taking exercise regularly is a best way to improve our heath and the value of life. Firstly, jogging is considered as an easy exercise- low running, we don’t need to spend much time on studying it and we can easily jog individually, in pair or even in group. Especially , jogging helps people have good heart beats and good legs.Moreover, jogging also helps people reduce stress from life or work. Thank to that people can improve their chance of living longer and healthier because taking exercise can help them protect themselves from heart disease, cancers or diabetes. Secondly , When people take this ativity they don’t cost much money and they may feel very confident so that it is very easy for them to get success in their business. Thirdly, doing morning exercise can help everyone control their weight effectively.In this way people don’t cost too much to go to doctors and drink medicine because sometimes dug can cause some negative effects. With many benefits from taking exercise I hope that there will be a lot of people taking this physical activity to make their health better and better./. TOPIC 4: Write a paragraph to introduce a beauty spot in Viet nam. The ancient town of Hoi An, 30 km south of Da Nang, lies on the banks of the Thu Bon River. Occupied by early western traders, Hoi An was one of the major trading centers of Southeast Asia in the 16th century. Hoi An has a distinct Chinese atmosphere with low, tile-roofed houses and narrow streets; the original structure of some of these streets still remains almost intact. All the houses were made of rare wood, decorated with lacquered boards and panels engraved with Chinese characters. Pillars were also carved with ornamental designs. There is no shortage of bacon in town, but cao lầu is the dish that one simply can not miss. Prices and service are rightfully on par with the latest venues in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. People are very friendly in Hoi An. Over the last few years, Hoi An has become a very popular tourist destination in Vietnam. TOPIC 5: Write a paragraph about one of the football matches you like best To celebrate the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union's Foundation Day, our School's Sports Club recently played a friendly football match with Hanoi School's Football Team. The match was held on February 28th, at 4:00 pm at My Dinh stadium. In the first half, our team played pretty well. They tried to keep the ball away from the goal and as near to our rival's as possible. By a combination of passing and dribbling, the opponents gave a shot into our goal. Fortunately, our goalie could catch the ball. All the stands seemed to be exploded with merry and exciting shouts. And all the schoolboys and girls jumped up and down cheering. In the second half, both teams played beautifully and skilfully and tried to score the goal, but no-one succeeded. Finally it was a draw. When the game was over, all of us were happy to have a fair game. I think all the schools in the area should hold such a friendly game to tie up and promote the friendship and solidarity together. TOPIC 6:. Your school organizes a competition for students to write about "The world in which I would like to live in the year 2020." "My ideal world would be a peaceful one. There are no wars or conflicts(mâu thuẩn) between nations. People won't have to live under the threat of terrorism (khủng bố) but all live together in harmony (sống hòa thuận với nhau). Everyone has a job to and there is a good healthy standard of living for all. I would also wish to live in a clean healthy environment with less noise and less pollution. There are more and larger parks where children can play and wildlife can be protected. But my main desire is to see people less materialistic (vật chất), less selfish, less violent and more loving than they are now." . cầu của đề bài • Bố cục uyển chuyển từ mở bài đến kết luận 2.
