Writing task 1 This is part of a letter you receive from an English penfriend. In your next letter, please tell me all about your favorite TV programme. Why do you like watching it? What’s it about? Write a letter to your friend, Mary responding these questions. Model answer 1 Hi Mary, How are you doing? I hope you are doing well with your study. I am writing to tell you something about my favorite television programme. I think the TV program I like best is “Sing my song”. It is shown at 8 p.m. on VTV3 channel. The game includes 4 famous musicians who are also the judges of the candidates. Each candidate has to perform the song which is written by himself or herself. For each performance, the judges had to decide to push the button to choose the candidate or not. If more than one judges choose the candidate, the candidate has to choose one judge he or she likes. I think it is my favorite program because it is all about creativity and the candidates need to create a completely new song in order to be a winner of the game. I am really looking forward to your reply. Best wishes, David

Hi Chris,
Thank you very much for your reply
| am writing to tell you more details about my trip so that it would be easier for you to help me find the accommodation
First of all, | am coming to the UK for a two-week training course at London Imperial College However, the rented room inside the campus is quite expensive so | would love to find a rented room outside the university for around 20 days This is because | need to go sightseeing around the UK before
returning to Vietnam
Also, the accommodation should be near the university so that | can walk to school as the public transport in the UK is very expensive Moreover, the place should be quiet because | have to work on a lot of assignments and projects during my stay there
If you need further information, please write to me soon
All the best,

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your letter How have you been recently? Are you doing well with your study?
| am writing to tell you that dinner is considered as the typical meal of most Vietnamese families And my favorite meal during the day is also dinner because | can enjoy it with all of my family members and the food is usually more carefully prepared
Moreover, | don’t eat fast food because it is not good for my health It is said that fast food contains a lot of fat and chemicals | don’t enjoy cooking very much because my mother does most of the cooking | think she is the best cook in my house There are a lot of traditional foods that you can try in Vietnam, such as Pho, pancake or spring rolls
