I’m gonna tell you about some useful advice that I have received So this situation

happened about 6 years ago It was around September, 2009, I guess At that time I was in my last year at high school I was thinking about what I should do after

graduating There were two options for me which was whether to continue my study or

to get a job right away It was a really difficult choice that I had to make One of my friends was the one who gave me the advice that effected strongly my decision He had been studying in UK, in Manchester to be specific, for 4 years He is older than me and

he had a lot of real experience So I knew I needed to ask for his opinion He told me that I should study higher education It would only take me 2 year to receive a bachelor degree so it would not cost much time and money as well he also said that nowadays, having academic qualifications help me enhance the resume that gives me

opportunities to seek a job easilly and I immediately got so excited after hearing those things And I finally decided to go study in university instead of working straight after school At the moment, I really knew that it was a right decision and I benefited a lot from it

I’m a big fan of children I usually find their innocence and cuteness

overwhelming I can spend hours, literally, digging cute baby videos on internet and sharing them with my friends on Facebook I still remember coming across this hilarious baby video called “ I want to marry him” the other day

In the video, a five year old girl and a seven year old boy are getting into a heated exchange over their wedding plan The girl is insisting passionately on marrying the boy, but unfortunately, the boy doesn’t feel the same way about her, crying and screaming desperately for help from the mother, who was recording the whole thing I was not the only person who found the wedding argument of the young couple super adorable and funny as the video quickly went viral and became an internet sensation, attracting millions of viewers on internet

It got even better when I found out later that the two kids in the video are actually brother and sister If they weren’t I bet the boy would terribly regret the day he turned such a great girl down when he grows up

watching international news as well as current affairs So, at times, i turn on TV to watch CNN   It is a program which

specializes in breaking news reported by many jounalists all over the world It‟s a good idea to combine watching news and learning English at the same time I not only update a lot of information happening on Earth during 24 hours but also gain vocabularies and practice listening English and so on

  Watching CNN is my daily routine I watch this program

every morning for about 15 to 20 minutes before I go to work

  I find CNN educational and informative, especially for people like me because as i‟ve mentioned, it broadens our horizons, enriches our knowledge and we can deeply understand what‟s going on in our society

up I was beginning to worry a bit then, hoping he would not forget the business trip or wake up late I made a telephone call to him, but could not put through, which made me more depressed I had no ideas but

made another telephone call to my superior and told him about my

current situation, he told me to fly alone if my colleague didn‟t get to the airport in time in the end

To my surprise, after I hung up the telephone, I saw him entering the gate of the airport slowly I asked him why he came to airport so late He just said he never hurried to catch the airplane, and told me that I should take easy Oh, I doubted whether he lived near here Getting up early is really hard for me, but waiting for someone who doesn‟t keep time is even harder I really didn‟t want to go on a trip with him next time

Id like to talk about one of the old and popular children’s game mostly know as Hide and seek In this game one player closes his or her eyes for a brief period (often counting to 100) while the other players hide The seeker then opens his eyes and tries to find the hiders; the first one found is the next seeker, and the last is the winner of the round

I used to play it when I was a child, mostly when we went to my grandpa house,

as we all gathered there at weekend as kind of hanging out, and all my cousins who were at my age, liked to do play this game, as that house was big enough to place us all, and we had enough room to hide

I remember that I won many times, as I was small , tiny and could easily go into wardrobe so that no one could see me There was a wardrobe, in fact, that had a shelf in high position where I used to hide there, then run back quickly to home base and that made me winner all the time!!

english so fluently that at first, i thought she was a native

Trang 13

16 Describe a café restaurant that you like (to go to)

17 Describe a place where you (usually / often) go to relax (Not your home)

Today im gonna share with you a place where I usually (go to relax / read and write/hang out with my friends) , which is a small café/restaurant near my company named Manzi

As a full time employee, I have to go to work 5 days a week, therefore the only time that I can visit this place is on weekend I always try to make time for my little trip to Manzi café/restaurant every Saturday or Sunday

The coffee house is located on a quite street with a lot of trees planted on both sides In addition, it has a patio with hanging gardens which I like very much, it makes me feel like im sitting in a garden of my own

Separated from the hustle and bustle of the city life in Hanoi, this place allows me

to sit quietly and reflect, relaxing after a week of hard work I can concentrate on a personal project such as reading or writing in my journal without being interrupted

by other people

It serves great coffee, tea and cakes, thus, the place always smell very nice

Furthermore, the employees are also friendly and helpful

Trang 14

Sometimes I go there with my friends Over a nice cup of tea, we share our stories and smell the beautiful scent of the flowers At that moment, we can escape from reality for a little while and enjoy ourselves even more

18 Describe an experience you had as a member of a team

You should say:

where it was who were the members of the team what you did together in this team and explain why you became a member of this team or explain what the purpose of the team was

‟d like to talk about a team project that I was involved in during my final term at business school There were four of us on the team, and our task was to work with a local company to research a new

market, in a European country, for one of their products or services Our objective was to produce a report and give a presentation   The first thing we did was split into two groups of two We had been assigned a company that produced a range of bicycle accessories, so two of us spent some time getting to know the company while the other two researched the market and the competitors in the target country, which was Germany In the end, I think it was a successful project because we managed to identify a possible gap in the market

in Germany for one of the company‟s products Our group

presentation also went really well

Trang 15

Until that point, the course had been all about business theory, so it was quite a learning experience to work with a real company I felt a real sense of accomplishment when we handed in our report and delivered our presentation, and I think all of us were proud of what

we had done

19 Describe an historic building that you have visited

You should say:

what it was where it was and explain what features of the building you found interesting

I definitely think Tháp Rùa, meaning "Turtle Tower", is one of the most important historic buildings in Vietnam It is on Jade island of Hồ Gươm lake, "Lake of the Returned Sword," which is located in Old Quarter, the very central part of Ha Noi

"Turtle Tower" was built in the late 1800's where “Ta Vong" an earlier temple, had stood The temple was built to honour a famous warrior Le Loi, who fought foreign invaders Legend has it that this lake is where the Dragon King reclaimed the sword he had given Le Loi, to free the Vietnamese people from enemies from the North Today, there are large soft shell turtles in the lake, where the golden turtle which was "Kim Qui" came to the surface and asked Lơ ̣i, for his golden sword back, to give to the Dragon King Every once in a while, people visiting the lake can take pictures of hundred-year-old

Trang 16

turtles surfacing, which has long been considered as a sign of good fortune by locals

The words inscribed on the sword are said to say "The Will of

Heaven", meaning it‟s heaven‟s will that this country and its people should be free and independent This tower I believe, a tourist

attraction now, has a huge significance in Vietnamese history as well as culture

20 Describe a successful small business that you know

You should say:

what the business is where it is

who runs the business / how you know about this business and explain why you think it is successful

There is a family living in front of my apartment

They have their own fast food cafe They have started that business before five years Initially, they sold milk only However, they have nice space in front of the house so got point in mind to open up a cafe The owner himself has been a good cook and he had been accompanied by his wife in preparation They have two sons who also helped them in serving and in making Then gradually they have

Trang 17

started taking orders on phone through whats app, sms and calls and started providing free home delivery

services Many old people live in this area so always they find problem with making arrangement of food So this

concept came in mind of owner These days, many

corporate people come here for lunch and snacks too

These shop people always maintain hygienic standards well and make the things in front of us So the quality of stuffs and ingredients they use that we can see And they use health friendly stuffs Sometimes, we may feel that we take better fresh things here than at home Moreover, they also charge nominally So its been a small business of that family but they have been very well satisfied and enjoy that business though there has been significant manual labour in that business All people appreciate their

services and quality and hence I believe that business is successful

Trang 18

21 Describe a disagreement that you had with a friend

You should say:

who you disagreed with what the disagreement was how it happened

and explain how this disagreement was resolved

Well, two months ago,I thought that summer was coming,so I

needed to do something to lose weight I saw an advertisement and intended to take some diet pills.The advertisement boosted how magical the drugs are As I was urged to lose

weight,without thinking,I decided to buy some However, my roommate didn‟t recommend me to do that She said the

slimming pills not only cost a lot but also are negative effect to health She asked me to keep diet and jogging with her every night   I thought it was fine to just have a try If this plan back fired, I would try another way to lose weight such as running

or eating fruits instead of meals   After taking slimming pills for a week, I didn‟t have weight lose, but became insomniac, maybe that‟s a side effect of the drugs Finally I gave up and running with my roommate everyday Now when I „m thinking about this argument ,I really thank to my friend, otherwise I would try this stupid idea for two weeks or even longer  

22 Describe a change that you think would improve your local area

You should say:

what local area

Trang 19

what change how the change could be made and explain how this change would be an improvement to your local area

If there is a chance to change something which makes our local

area better, i think it‟s the small library.  The standard

knowledge about social issues of local people is quite low I will give you a prominent instance about my cousin She was the same age as me and she just married last week „cause she had 5 month pregnancy But the thing was she didn‟t know she was pregnant until 2 weeks ago   Apparently, she was lack of sexual knowledge and I think that if only my hometown had a library in which there was a wide range of books , she

wouldn‟t have come into troubles Also with a small library, people at all ages can enlarge their knowledge about all aspects

of life I‟m sure that this change is a significant turning-point

in the education of my local area For example, the literacy rate can be higher, so my province can provide a better well-

educated workforce for economy, and unemployment level or other social evils can be mitigated All in all, the appearance of

a library is the key to open a new door for my province  

23 Describe something you do that keeps you fit (or, that helps to keep you fit)

You should say:

what it is when you do it why you do it

Trang 20

and explain how it helps to keep you fit

Of all the sports that I more or less know how to play, swimming is the one that I find most fascinating and I think it keep me fit I

learnt to swim when I was a small child because my parents

believed that it would be useful for me   Unlike other sports, there are no rules to follow when you swim Basically, swimming is just the combination of arm and leg motions and the natural floatation

of the body

Swimming is a good way to lose weight and get fit Cardio workouts like swimming burns calories, helping me go get rid of excess body fat and weight Furthermore, swimming improves the health and helps me to avoid illness It will raises heart rate and works the

large muscle groups in the body.

The main thing that fascinates me about this sport is the weightless freedom and liberation I feel when I swim It feels just like flying I cannot fly, but swimming is the next best thing The water is my sky
