Why? 54 I like living in an extended family because this family pattern has many noble values First, extended families bring children close relationship from both their parents and their grandparents Children enjoy full love and care from the elderly members in their family Second, children can inherit family heritage of their ancestors Familial property and keepsakes can be kept and passed from generation to generation, making ties between familial members become firmer Moreover, in an extended family, its tradition, rituals, and customs can be taught carefully to the latter generation, making children realize familial tradition and know how to behave well with everybody right from early lifetime In summary, the positive values of an extended family, which are real and undeniable, make me like it very much TOPIC 67: Describe your house My house is small, but it has enough space for my things It is in Cho Moi district, about 45 kilometers from Long Xuyen City There are four rooms in my house: a living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen The living room is not very big There is a table in the middle with four chairs, a television on the left back corner, and a display cabinet All of the curtains are pink There is a vase of flowers on the table In the bedrooms there are mats, pillows, mosquito nets and blankets We have one alarm clock in each bedroom The kitchen seems narrow with a lot of kitchenware, a table, six chairs, and a fridge The house is surrounded by a garden with a lot of flowers in spring Our gate is green I love my house very much because it is the place I was born and grew up TOPIC 68: Should people retire at the age of sixty? In my opinion, people should retire at the age of sixty because of physical and mental problems and longevity Physically, at the age of sixty, our health comes down gradually We no longer have much strength Bone structures get weak We easily get sick or break our bones Such a physical status is not ideal for working any more Mentally, physical come-down makes the brain weak and hurt easily Our senses are not good as before Elderly people are usually absentminded with bad eyesight and low flexibility For longevity, the age of sixty is the last duration of life, people should withdraw from business, transfer their precious experience to their children to enjoy their free time, keep health in order to lengthen their longevity with their children In summary, people should retire at the age of sixty to keep health and good mind and live long with their children TOPIC 69: Talk about the causes and effects of one kind of the environmental pollution Today, air, noise, and water are polluted everywhere for many causes, but water pollution is, in my opinion, the most serious The immediate cause is human garbage-littering Many inhabitants of poor consciousness of hygiene throw all kinds of garbage everywhere, especially into rivers Most of properly-untreated industrial waste disposals are also poured into rivers In agricultural production, 55 water in fields containing all kinds of chemicals from insecticides and fertilizers finally flow into rivers, too The result is that water resources are seriously polluted For human beings, the use of polluted water without being carefully filtered or boiled causes various diseases For aquatic animals, such as fish, shrimps, crabs, frogs, etc , they can’t lay eggs or grow naturally as formerly;
