Topic 1: A lesson/

lecture

I’m going to talk about

the English 7 reading

lesson that impressed me

a lot when I attended

secondary school

It was quite long time

ago, so I can’t remember

the details but the lesson

was about chores

Mr.Nam, my English

teacher, was slim but had

a deep voice, who made a

good impression on me

about the lesson

In the lesson, I took part

in games and activities

that were funny and

useful, such as role

playing and guessing

game

I found the lesson

fascinating because of

teaching methods It was

really a communicative

method The teacher led

to the lesson by making a short survey on students’

family We not only got familiar with the topic but also had a good chance to know about well In the main part, instead of asking students to read the text, he role-played as characters and using real objects that he prepared

to demonstrate During the lesson, there were many chances for students to talk about doing housework, and get involved in competitive and educational games

By this way, I remembered new words

in class and nourished speaking skill

Topic 2: Future plans

I’m going to talk about

my intention in the foreseeable future which

is to establish an educational centre in my hometown

Finishing my graduation,

I have worked for a private school I have planned to work until I’m

35 and then have early

retirement I am aware of high demand for study now, not only for knowledge but also living skill

To achieve my future plan, I need to prepare well, both finance and capacity The amount of money I’m currently saving per month should allow me to start my dream Moreover, attending teaching method courses is really necessary to improve my pedagogy I will have close friends as employees and authorities

of teaching, initially I will work in the centre for 2 years to make it run smoothly When the business would go on with its own path, I will enjoy my vacation

Establishing a centre is important to me because I can prove my capacity of

administration In spite of hardship, I have already taken some steps to make the plan become true

Topic 3: A product

I’d like to talk about one

technological device that

I have purchased recently

but didn’t live up to my

expectation

It would be probably 1

year or so when I bought

a cell phone I bought

Nokia 630 at a shopping

mall

I saved money to

purchase a smartl phone

over 4 months that would

allow me to use the

internet and install

applications Due to my

budget deficiency I

thought Nokia 630 would

be a good choice and then

I was convinced by a

salesman to buy this one

I spent almost half an

hour testing the phone

before purchasing it

I used the smart phone for

u couple of weeks

smoothly and I was really

satisfied with it functions

However, in one day, it

started malfunctioning

even though Iused it very

carefully The problem

was that the touch buttom

didn’t work and I couldn’t ultilize any more

I tried to contact with the service centre and was informed that the cell phone would be checked

One week later, I took it back and it worked well

All of a sudden, the smart phone had problem with touch functionality again

One more time, I had it fixed in shopping mall

issuerepeated

Initially, I didn’t use it and decided to purchase another cell phone that made me satisfied

Topic 4: Tourist site

I’d like to talk about one

of my favourite tourist destination

After receiving result of university entrance exam,

I got a vacation in Da Nang that was spondsered

by my parents as a gift for

my efforts

I spent 4 days in Da Nang with my friends

accommodation, although there were multiple choices of hotels, we liked to stay in homestay The reason is that homestay is more reasonable Moreover, we had to book a room in advance because it’s now perfect time to visit Da Nang

To enjoy the natural and cultural beauty in the city,

Ba Na Hill is one of the most interesting destinations to see We went to and spend all day joining games and activities there It was really awesome to enjoy the feeling of being in the air in the cable car and grasp the whole city For activities, a visit to night market was fantastic We bought a lot

of souvenirs as present for family and friends Besides, we joined a range of local events such

as music festivals, street shows

It’s a pity that you don’t try local food Not only is

it diverse but delicious and highly nutritious

Topic 5: A favourite present

I’d like to talk about my special gift

On my birthday, I

unforgettable birthday

gift from my best friend,

an unprofessional tailor,

which is a shirt

The interesting thing is

that she made it by

herself Nevertheless to

say, she also made

another for her, so we had

a couple of shirts At the

back of these shirts, she

put our nickname on,

accompanied with cute

icons

On meetings or hanging

out with my classmates, I

and my friend often wore

the shirts and made them

surprising Form some

distance, people often

mistook me for her

because of our things in

common Our body is

slim with short hair and

oval face I liked to show

off how awesome I felt to

dress the shirt up

Although tailor lines on

sleeves and body shew

her unprofession of

tailoring, her emotion and

sincere were all tied in

the shirts I will keep the

gift carefully, my symbol

of true friendship

Topic 6: A company

I’d like to talk about an

enterprise that I wish to

work in Last year, I had a

chance to do an internship

in Vincom for 3 months, and it is my dream workplace where I want

to apply for a job

Vincom, the real estate company, is supposed to

be the most important sector which makes great contribution to the success of the Vingroup

They have taken over a lot of well-known resorts, luxury villas around Vietnam

My major involves the property business, so I wish to work there Staff are dynamic and work professionally They formulate their business strategy clearly and try to reach the targets which they have set

It was a valuable chance for me to broaden my own knowledge not only

in my major but also in many other fields It will enhance my soft skills and enlarge my social network Therefore, I will try my best to become an employee in Vincom in the near future

Topic 7: Festival/Event

I’d like to talk about a traditional festival I’ve ever experienced in my country, which is New Year

New Year day is one of the most widely celebrated festivals People celebrate with great joy, hope and numerous cultural programs It takes place once a year, falls on the first days of January annually

I and my family prepared

to celebrate it about one week in advance We cleaned the house and went to the market to buy flowers and candies The most interesting is that

my parents often make

banh chung ,and all

family members gathered around and cooked through night

On New Year Eve, I and

my family gathered together, ate food, prayed for the prosperity and best things, and stayed awake till late night to enjoy firework displays

When I was a little boy,

my mother often bought

me new clothes to wear at New Year But now I’m mature, it’s no longer important to me However, I chose the

most beautiful costume to

wear

It is an important festival

Traditionally, we start the

year with the hope of

eliminating the bitterness

and failure of the past

year and start a fresh year

with that of fortune and

happiness

Topic 8: A café

I’d like to talk about a

café that made a great

impression on me

A month ago, I went to a

café to attend a birthday

celebration of one of my

friends and this was a

unique place that caught

my eyes Its name is

“Chạm” nearby the centre

shopping mall I was a bit

inquisitive about the café

when hearing the name

But after I reached there,

I found out it was quite a

large place and in fact

well-furnished than a

conventional party

centre

It was a Friday evening

when one of my friends

reminded me the birthday

invitation of Trung

Having bought a small

gift for Trung, I and my

friends went to the café

About 15 people attended

the party, most of whom

are my friends

Differently from other

parties with noisy music,

this one was a bit

peaceful Invitees all wished Trung a happy birthday party and best things I sat on a corner, slowly sipped my wine and enjoy soft music To

my amazement, over 10 items were served which were white heavy for an evening meal I felt like they shone a corner in the café

I had to say I had a very delightful experience in

environment was quite unique with gorgeous painting and decoration along with delicious food and friendly service

Topic 9: A party

I’d like to talk about my plan to celebrate coming wedding anniversary of

my parents

Invitees of the party will

be just family members,

so we can have private time to be together

In regard to place and date, because the exact date of wedding anniversary is on Friday while almost family members come back home late, it would be better if I leave the party one day later That means

we can enjoy the party comfortably without worries of work A café might be better than a restaurant as my parents like to go to the café

I and my sister all wish

my parents a happy life and good health We will enjoy the party with cake first with my parents’ photo on, sitting on a corner, slowly sip wine and enjoy soft music together But to make them amazing, about 10 items will be served which are white heavy for

an evening meal I imagine they will shine a corner in the café

I and my sister want to hold a special party for

my parents We just want

to show our love and grace for their sacrifice

Topic 10: An enjoyable day

I’d like to talk about one day that I couldn’t forget

It was one years ago when I had my very first motorbike trip with my friends to the first and most ancient village which is located in the North of my countryside Our group of three, I and two my friends chose to visit that village because

we wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle

of the city and get off the beaten

track Moreover, because

the village is also the hometown of my grandparent, I felt really excited to visit the village

and get a closer insight

into the lifestyle of local

people as well as my

grandparents

One day of May, we left

home in the early

morning It took us about

two hours and a half to

reach there We got to

the picturesque

village which made me

feel over the moon We

rented some bikes to

cycle around the

village After riding a

bike to the paddy

field, we visited an

ancient house which

made of mud where the

local people gathered for

festival celebration or

public meeting After

that, we had lunch with

food which is locally and

organically grown In the

afternoon, we joined a

cooking class with the

villagers who were

extremely friendly The

highlight of the trip to the

village was going to the

paddy fields to help the

farmers harvest the crop

It was such an

once-in-a-lifetime experience which

I really enjoyed
