COMPOSITION

Smoking damages our health

(Smoking is harmful to our health)

(Việc hút thuốc có hại đến sức khoẻ của chúng ta)

Over the last thirty years, thanks to the efforts of various branches of science and technology, research has proved that smoking damages health and shortens man’s life-span.

According to a diagram released by the World’s Health Organization (WHO), the number of people who die of diseases connected to smoking is increasing more and more The more science and technology learn, the more damage caused by smoking is discovered Therefore, it seems that we can never put a final stop to the list of harm caused by smoking.

First of all, smoking brings about the decline of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys 15,000 cerebral cells.

Smoking is considered the number one cause of cardio-vascular trouble, pneumonia, lung cancer etc … The main offending agents are carbon monoxide and nicotine in the smoke These cancer – causing agents are also the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer The toxic effects of smoke make the smoker’s voice hoarse.

Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks to the teeth, and causes them to become dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm.

In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar “Le Quy Don” as saying some hundred years ago that smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span; yet, few people heeded his sage advice.

Describe a day spent by the river or bi the sea.

Summer comes together with its extreme heat and nobody can resist the temptation to spend their holiday at the seaside.

Last week, in older to escape from the suffocating atmosphere of a

crowded city, my friends and I decided to go to Vung Tau beach When we got to the seaside, the beach had already been crammed with holiday makers They

were either sunbathing on the beach for a short tie, we all took off our clothes and let ourselves drift along on the waves.

Swimming brought us a good appetite We enjoyed some sea foods and then took a quick nap after lunch

In the afternoon we strolled along the beach, inhaling in rapture the fresh sea air and took lots of photographs.

A holiday at the seaside helped us get rid of all worries and trouble and gave us health and enthusiasm to resume work again.

camping, swimming, fishing etc… Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while

Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat of tell each other funny stories As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following reasons: During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow The weather

is also ideal because it is not too cold nor too hot Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of Autumn The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a goreous coat of colours on nature Autumn is such a

wonderfuk season that many poems and songs have been

before I didn’t think about the problems of speaking English (3) until I met my host family At

first I couldn’t communicate with them because my English was so bad All the eight years I

(4)had been learning wasn’t much use at all, (5) because we didn’t have real practice at school.

Even though my grammar was good, my pronunciation wasn’t My problem is pronouncing “I”and “r” For example, Newzealand people often asked “What do you eat in Thailand?” I wanted

to tell them that we eat rice, but they didn’t understand when I said “We eat lice” My host mum

myself when I had a shower, so no one could hear me After four months my English was

(7) muchbetter Apart (8) from English I learn to make my own breakfast and lunch I had to

ride a bicycle to school everyday I went swimming and tried water-skiing and sailing,
