8 Describe a piece of modern technology you own You should say: What it is What you use it for How long you have owned it And explain why it is important to you I have several pieces of modern technology that I often use and among them, I would like to talk about the smartphone I have This is a smartphone which is manufactured by Apple This phone has a good configuration and it supports most of the latest software It came with the IOS 10 operating system and it was a bit expensive for me to buy I bought it a few months ago when I replaced my old phone with this new one I use it for my official purposes as well as personal purposes I use the internet, communicate with my friends Sometimes I prepare some documents, watch movies, listen to music and play games in it I own smartphone for more than years but I bought this current one 3-4 months ago Since the technology changes and to use the latest software and to get faster performance, I replaced my old phone with this new one As I have already mentioned, I use this phone to use the internet, play games, create documents, contact my friends, watch movies, listen to music and for many other important purposes This phone has become an unavoidable technology for me that I use almost every day Talk about a part of your city that is changing You should say: where it is how it is changing why it is changing and describe how you feel about the change I have been living in Di An town for the last years and know almost every street of this town The town I knew the first time I came here is far more different than the town has evolved now The north part of the town has changed more than any part of the town and still changing When I first visited this part of the town, it was mostly an open space that had lots of fields, trees and very minimum number of dwellers There were hardly any high rising building and mostly farmers lived there But this is no longer applicable for this part of the town I went to that part of the town few days back after a long time and was very surprised to notice the changes which occurred there and still happening The need for industrialization, to accommodate the increasing population and for the business expansion the part has changed dramatically The open spaces, fields, and lakes have reduced significantly and one can notice the overwhelming number of factories, industries and offices there The numbers of roads and cars have increased I feel the necessity of the new industries and offices and their importance for a country, but the way this part of the town has been transformed is really shocking There could have been an alternative place for industries and the town administrators and authorities could have saved the natural part of the town Already the town is over populated and because of that we are facing lots of problems, the changes of this part of the town has caused to accommodate more people and has destroyed the natural habitat of wild lives I feel sad to notice the changes happening of this part of the town (có thể thay town = city) 10 Describe one of your favourite electronic media like TV / printing media / radio etc You should say: what is it and why it’s your favourite what you with it why it’s useful for you and describe the advantages and disadvantages of this media My favourite electronic media is TV and I guess this is the most popular electronic media in the world Television offers various kinds of channels and I can easily pick the channels I like Movies, documentary, entertainment as well as different information and news I watch news, documentary, movies and music on TV There are lots of channels that offer specialized programs for people and among them I find National Geographic, Discovery, BBC are very reliable and authentic source of information I can’t always catch up with the newspaper and I can easily get updates from TV in few minutes I get sports news and can watch live games on TV The main advantages of television are the ease with which it offers news, information and entertainment The variation of program and channels offered are helpful for people to easily pick one’s favourite channels The main disadvantage of this media is that, it is addictive People become addicted to TV programs and thus often spend more time watching TV than they should have Biased news sometimes mislead people and causes non-avoidable conflicts Too much time spent on watching television has some health issues and specifically harms kids who watch TV for a long time Apart from that, Some TV channels broadcasts programs which are not suitable for all and this can cause harms to people
