where you first heard this song; - how old you were when you first heard it - what it was about; - and explain how you feel now when you hear this song My mother often sang me a lullaby titled ‘Oh my sweet angel look the Moon has come to play with you…” in my bed time and I have heard it so many times in my childhood that I can still remember it very vividly This was a song usually famous in the rural area of our country that mothers often use to soothe the baby and to send them in sleep It was an - 10 lines song with great harmony and the way my mother sand it was extraordinary It still echoes in my head and I miss those days I can remember my mother often sand this song till I got admitted in the school and I heard it from my father as well in my bed time I was pretty touched with the lyrics and in my childhood I often imagined that the verses used in this song were true and would happen to me as well We often remember things from childhood specially the stories or songs we hear with great enthusiasm This song was no exceptions I heard it hundreds of times and as a child I fanaticized those things to be true Thais is the main reason I still remember it May be someday when I will become a father/ mother, I will sing thins song to my children as well This has in fact become a permanent memory and I still love the great and calming piece of music 27 Describe an interesting website you have visited You should say: VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí - when you visited it; - what the website is about - how you first knew about this website and explain why you think it is interesting Facebook is a social networking website that I like very and visit every day It's a free website that allows you to keep in contact with friends or find people you've lost touch with It's one of the most popular websites in the world, with millions of users in different countries All of my friends use Facebook One of my friends sent me an email inviting me to join I signed up and I've been using it ever since Facebook allows you to keep up to date with what friends are doing You have a profile page with information and status updates so that you can tell everyone what you're doing You can post messages toother people's pages You can upload photos and videos I find Facebook most useful for organising my life, keeping in touch with friends and storing photos I think social networking websites have become part of everyday life 28 Describe a happy family event from your childhood that you remember well You should say: - what the event was - when and where it happened - what you saw or did - and explain why you remember that event so well There are numerous happy events in my life that I can recall and among them I would like to talk about the day that I was blessed with a little sister This was an event that I still recall vividly I was then only - years old and when I saw a little angel was crying on my mother's lap, I became the happiest girl in the world I was the only daughter of my parents and when I heard that I will have another sibling, I got very excited and I was counting days when this brother of mine will come I speculated and imagined lots of things I would with my sibling On the day that my sister came in to the world was one of the happiest days of my life For the first time I felt a strong urge to kiss this little fairy child He was so beautiful and adorable that I thanked God for the gift My mother asked me to hold him and kiss him but I VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí was afraid to touch her as I thought that might hurt him I felt like I was flying on that day I stayed in the hospital room for about - days till my mother and sister came home I came back home with the most precious gift of the world 29 Describe an exciting sport you know You should say: - what the sport is - how you know about it - is it difficult? - explain why you think it is exciting 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 can strengthen my physical health 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 In order to swim, there must be a swimming pool or a body of water large enough Most pools, however, would require individuals to wear swimming costume in order to be able to use the pool Some swimmers find it also useful to wear goggles and swim cap to keep water out of their eyes and their hair for fear that swimming pool water contains many harmful chemicals Swimming as an exercise is popular as an all - around body developer and is particularly useful in therapy and as exercise for physically handicapped persons It is also taught for lifesaving purposes 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 30 Describe something you to (help you) stay healthy You should say: - what you - when you started doing this - how much time you spend doing this (or, how often you this) - explain what benefits you get from this activity or explain how this activity helps VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí you stay healthy Có thể tham khảo câu 29 31 Describe a place near water (such as a river, a lake or the ocean) that you enjoyed visiting You should say: - where this place was - what you did at this place - who you went there with - and explain why you liked this place I have a very strong passion for the ocean and one of the seaside places that I usually go to on vacations is Nha Trang, a small lovely beach town in the central of Vietnam There are always many activities for tourists to in Nha Trang If you are a fan of extreme sports, you can either windsurfing or paragliding In case you want to discover the nature, there are some amazing island cruises and snorkeling tours Nha Trang is also a paradise for seafood lovers with fresh, delicious, diverse and inexpensive dishes To me, Nha Trang is such a vibrant town where there is always something going on The local people are so friendly and they make me feel welcome here Most importantly, Nha Trang has a breathtakingly stunning beach which has been recognized as one of the top beaches in the world 32 Describe a pleasant surprise you had You should say: - when and where it happened - who gave you the surprise - why they gave you the surprise - and explain how you felt about it Có thể tham khảo câu 28 33 Describe a subject you didn’t like before but have interest in now VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí You should say: - what it was - why you didn’t like it before; - when you studied the subject; - and explain why you have interested in it now Among all the subjects that we studied in school, history is undoubted my least favorite This shouldn’t come as a surprise at all because most of the school children I know not like this subject I guess there are several reasons explaining the unpopularity of history as a school subject To begin with, history is arguably one of the most difficult subjects to learn The major part of it involves remembering dry facts such as names, numbers and events that happened a long time ago in an effort to get a good grade Hardly can these attract interest from young people who are more concerned about things that are going on and generally don’t see connections between past events and the present Besides, as much as I appreciate people’s effort to teach history to children, I’ve got to admit that history classes are very boring But when I was on grade 5, the teacher took us on a trip to a museum in Ha Noi She taught me about what the previous generation did to protect our country agaist invaders via a lot of artifacts That was the first time I felt so interesting with this subject History helps us learn the mistakes of the past and avoid repeating them in the future Therefore, I really recommend that students should pay more attention to this subject, and they will see it very interesting 34 Describe a piece of good news you heard from TV or internet You should say: - what the news was about - when you got this news - where you got this news from - and explain why you think it was a good piece of news I’m going to talk about a fabulous news that I came across last week on the internet According to it, petrol price has decreased by 20% This is the third reduction of oil price in a VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí row for the past few months and it immediately took over newspaper front pages The reason I find this news fascinating is that oil price has huge impacts on the other goods such as food products or retail commodities, so almost everyone as a consumer benefits from the low oil price It is predicted to stimulate domestic production and consumption, especially during the Lunar New Year festival As for me, I felt a great sense of relief after receiving the news because, you know, like other Vietnamese students, I depend on a motorbike to travel to school and get around town Before the drop, I used to spend up to 25 bucks per month on petrol for the vehicle However, the same money can last for a month and a half now that the price has gone down More importantly, because I'm really fond of travelling, the fact that fuel price is falling probably means that I can buy cheaper air tickets as airfares are likely to decline alongside oil prices 35 Describe a situation when you received some useful advice You should say: - what the situation was - who gave you the advice - what the advice was - and explain how this advice was useful to you This is such an interesting topic to talk about I have received many advices from other people, most of which are quite helpful but there is one advice I’m most grateful for taking Ever since I was a small child, I had always been told that study was the only way to succeed, so children should focus on studying instead of playing I remember spending all of my freetime doing homework and going to extra classes I became very competitive I got straight “A”s in school and positive comments from teachers Going to university was a huge change in my life I had to leave my family for my first time to study in a big city I was feeling very uncomfortable, being surrounded by unfamiliar people and learning to adapt to this completely new environment all by myself That was when I met Linh Linh was the most charismatic girl in the whole world who could inspire people and make VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí them feel happy She told me that studying wasn’t the most important thing in life because success wouldn’t mean anything if you were not happy She made me read books and spend holidays travelling It turned out that I loved travelling, besides many other things Linh opened my eyes to I finally learnt that working hard was important, but enjoying life while doing so was even more essential Now that Linh is living and working in another country with her husband, we stay in touch on the internet I bet she has very little idea how her advice has turned my life around 36 Describe a time when you got lost You should say: - when and where it happened - who was there with you - how you felt when you got lost - and explain how you eventually found your way I was visiting Park with my friend last September This park is located in the rural area of in the north west and that was our first time to get there I was up at the furthest point as the sun was starting to set The natural scenery was so stunning that we took lots of pictures and forgot the time until it began to turn dark However, unfortunately the way down wasn’t very well marked and we got lost a few times Of course, all around us were steep cliff faces and deep gorges I remembered thinking that if I felt down one of those in the dark I would probably actually die and no one would ever find the body Luckily, before we totally lost our bearings, I eventually found the trail again by using the digital map in our mobile device to position us, you know, thanks to my iPad, it could receive the satellite signals in rural areas, and managed to make it back after about two and a half hours, by which time it was full night Thankfully there were no clouds that day so there was just enough light to walk by 37 Describe a situation (or a time) when you helped someone VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí You should say: - what the situation was - who the person was - how you helped them - explain how you felt after helping them I have been volunteering at a shelter for disadvantaged children called Mai Am 19 - since I was a university student It was part of SJ’s effort aiming at better quality of life for young children in Hanoi SJ is basically an international volunteer organization which, through its regular workcamps, provides help for individuals and charities as well as promotes cultural exchange between international volunteers and locals Shelter 19 - is a primary school for poor children in the area of Phuc Xa, Long Bien, Hanoi Most of the students here come from extremely impoverished families where there is only one parent or both parents go to jail for drug trafficking The school has but one classroom for all of its classes taught by two full - time volunteer teachers There is a nurse to help with cooking and taking care of the kids who don’t have a home to return to after school Most of the time I teach the kids English and Math, the two very important subjects which can be useful for them in their later life There are other volunteers from different NGOs to teach with me too Sometimes we bring food for the kids, other times books and toys Volunteering at Mai Am is one of the life changing experiences that have made me who I am today Before I met the children here, I had very little idea how lucky I was to have two loving parents and a place to call home I have also learnt the importance of giving instead of taking and how it can drastically change people’s lives including my own 38 Describe a project that you were once involved in (for example, a project at work or a homework assignment at school or university) - the topic of this project or homework - when and where you did this project - what research or preparation you did? - how difficult this task was? - how much time you spent on this project or assignment explain what you learned from this experience VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Tham khảo câu 11 39 Describe a historical building in your country/ hometown You should say: - Where this building is - How you know this building - What it is like - explain why it is important to your hometown/country 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 Lợi, 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 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 40 Describe a long journey/short trips you would like to make again You should say: - where you went - who you went with - what you did during the trip - and explain why you would like to make the trip again Tham khảo câu VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 41 Describe a family member you would like to work with You should say: - who this person is - what kind of person he or she is - whether you’ve worked together before - and explain why you would like to work with this person (more than with other members of your family) Let me tell you about my brother that I’d like to work with in my business He is very considerate and thoughtful person who has always done his best to help me make decisions in the face of day - to - day difficulties My brother has a strong personality and he never lets others tell him what to I learned how to be more responsible and also more determined in my daily life Although we’ve never worked together in business before, he always reminds me that things are not as easy as they appear and that I should work hard in order to get results I’d like to work with my brother because it’s lucky enough to find a wonderful partner in him, both personally and professionally We can be honest with one another, and I trust him significantly more than I’ve trusted partners in the past My brother is very loyal and I believe he will always watch my back Although, I will say it is very important to define roles and boundaries with family immediately He does tend to push the limits of what is acceptable if rules are not clearly defined It also just so happens that our skill sets are completely opposite and complementary 42 Describe an ambition you have not achieved yet You should say: - what it is - when you first had this ambition - why you had this ambition; - and explain why you haven't achieved it yet VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Well, I personally find this topic interesting Many young people in Vietnam, if asked, would either have a hard time thinking about what it is that they would want to achieve in their life, or say that they don’t have an ambition whatsoever But I have one, which is to become a world traveller I want to set foot in every corner of the world to discover exotic cultures and gain a deeper insight into humanity Travelling has always been my biggest passion ever since I had my first trip outside of my country back in 2009 when I decided to ride a mortobike from Hanoi to Laos all alone I still remember being blown away by the whole experience The more I travel, the more determined I am to make it my life - long mission In order for this to happen, there are a lot of things I should take care of My major concern is, if I plan to spend most time moving from one place to another, it will be unlikely for me to have a normal job while travelling isn’t cheap at all So I’d like to become a correspondent of some sort for a travel magazine, or write my own book about travelling At the moment, I’m trying to focus on my teaching job to save up for the trips 43 Describe something interesting you learnt from the internet You should say: - what you leant; - what website you learnt it from - how you learnt it - and explain why you think it was interesting I’m really into learning cooking in the Internet There is a website called the Expert of Cate, which is very popular teaching visitors how to cook simple but tasty food Each lesson is produced in video with up - to - date culinary tips and advice, along with the tasty recipes I believe it appeals to anyone who love life and food particularly There is a woman hostess in the video whose sound is really kindly She looks like a patient and kind - hearted housewife, as same as my lovely mom She is good at cooking all kinds of food, and teaching you how to cook it yourself step by step as well I always get access to the website to learn some new food during the weekends, especially before starting preparing the dinner at night I only spend no more than five minutes to VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí learn a new recipe, sitting in front of my computer and taking some notes from time to time Thanks to this website, I can cook something for my family now Although I can’t cook very well, I will acquire a sense of achievement when someone enjoys my dishes Besides, this website helped a lot and changed me from a layman to a person who enjoys cooking On top of that, it may be an easy way to let off steam during the weekend after a one - week tiring work 44 Describe a situation that others didn’t tell you the whole truth You should say: - what the situation was - who was involved - why they didn’t tell you the whole truth - and explain how you felt when you found out you were not told the whole truth It’s sad but true that, the world we are living in is full of lies Every day we are bound to be surrounded by dishonest and misleading advertising from media, companies and retailers Recently I have encountered an unpleasant situation in which people weren’t completely honest to me Several weeks ago I was shopping in a very popular bag store in Hanoi when I saw this cute leather bag I was told that, if I’m not satisfied with the product, I can bring it back within a week for an immediate exchange or a full refund I was generally quite happy with the deal However, during the first week that I had it, I realized the bag was a little bit too small to fit my textbooks, so I took it back to the store, hoping that I could have something bigger To my surprise, the girls working at the store refused to grant my request for an exchange Apparently in order to be returned, the bag must still be in the unopened packaging with original tags and tickets attached It came to me as a huge shock and disappointment They should have made it clear to me in the first place, then I would have considered it before purchasing the item I mean, if you don’t take the thing out and really use it, how can you tell if you have any problem with it or not Anyway, the lesson learnt was, if something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably not true Next time I should ask carefully about the exchanges and refunds policy to find out what the VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí catch is so that any negative feelings can be avoided later 45 Describe a friend who you think is good leader You should say: - who this friend is - how you first met - how other people behave towards him or her; - and explain why you think he or she is a good leader I’m going to talk about a friend of mine His name is Minh Although he’s very young only a year ahead of me, Minh is co - founder of our school’s English Club Actually, English is not my major at university but all of the students are required to take IELTS test as part of the graduation requirements So I decided to join the English Club and that's how I met Minh My first impression of this friend was that he had a good command of English and, also, he demonstrated a great passion for this language He helped me practice making conversations in English for a while before we became close friends The thing that most people, including myself, find attractive about Minh is that he has such a great sense of humor I mean, he can make anyone laugh even when they don’t feel like to He has a way of making people feel cheerful and comfortable when they are around him I definitely think Minh is a competent leader because he knows exactly how to connect with people in his network and motivate them to achieve common goals He’s incredibly creative as well Taking part in his English Club is many students’ favorite activity Minh has such a positive influence on people, which I think is what it takes to become a pioneer 46 Describe something you really want to buy in the future You should say: -

what (kind of) vehicle it is - what it would look like - why you would like to have it If I had the money, I’d like to buy my own helicopter I recently saw a TV programme about someone who flew around in his own helicopter, and I remember thinking that it would be great to have one The helicopter on the programme was a small, blue, two - seater and it seemed quite easy to fly - that's the kind of thing I'd like to buy Ideally, I’d use my helicopter instead of a car First, I’d need to learn to fly it, but then I’d use it to go on short trips or holidays It would be fantastic to be able to avoid traffic jams, and get everywhere in a fraction of the time it normally takes I’d take friends and family sightseeing, over cities or mountain tops, and maybe I could even use it to the shopping! The reason I’d like to buy a helicopter is that you can park one almost anywhere You don’t need to find a runway or an airport like you would for a plane So I’d be able to park my helicopter in my garden - if I had a bigger garden Also, I’ve always been intrigued by those helipads on the tops of tall buildings - I think it would be fun to land on top of a building A helicopter probably isn’t a realistic choice of vehicle, but you never know - I might win the lottery! 49 Describe an unusual building you have visited You should say: - where it is - what it is used for - what it looks like - and explain why you think it is unusual Tham khảo câu 39 -THE END -
