MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART PART 2: SAMPLES TOPIC FREE TIME ACTIVITIES You are going to be free in the evening during your summer break What you plan to do: joining a health club, learning cooking, or joining English speaking club? I am going to have free time in the evening during the summer vacation, and I am considering doing something among the three possible options like joining a health club, learning cooking, and joining an English-speaking club I think joining an English-speaking club is the best choice for me because of the three following important reasons Firstly, this is useful for my studying and future job Indeed, English is very necessary for my studying because I must read a lot of major books in English Furthermore, I would find a good job after graduation if I am good at English Joining an English-speaking club can help me enhance my listening and speaking skills in English Secondly, I can improve my communication skill through the discussion activities during the club meetings It gives me opportunities to discuss in groups so that I can learn how to express my opinion and learn other people’s communication skills Finally, joining an English-speaking club is a good chance for me to enrich the relationship In fact, I can meet the people who have the same love with English as me It is easy for us to become friends Clearly, the more relationship we have, the more chances and happiness we have In contrast, I not think joining a health club is ideal for me because it is awfully expensive As I know, the enrol fee is from six hundred to three million VND per month, which is too expensive for a student like me Similarly, I will not learn cooking because I am not clever and patient enough for it To sum up, from the reasons above, I believe joining an English-speaking club is the most suitable for me What you like to at weekends: collect stamps, hang out with friends, or listen to music? I usually have free time at weekends, and I am considering something to to relax There are three possible options like collecting stamps, hanging out with friends, and listening to music Personally, I think listening to music is the most suitable of the three because of the following reasons Firstly, listening to music can reduce stress and improve health The rhythm and the melody of a song can reduce the level of stress hormone, cortisol Especially, while I am listening to my favourite songs, I usually sing along and tap my feet to feel the beat These things can boost the immune system, so it is good for health Furthermore, I am always terribly busy during the week from Monday to Friday Thus, I want to save all weekend enjoy myself, lie in my bed, listen to my favourite music, and recharge my energy to prepare for the following working week In contrast, collecting stamps is not suitable for me because it needs patience and passion on it which I not have Similarly, although hanging out with friends is incredibly happy, I am too lazy to go out at weekends To sum up, base on those reasons, I strongly believe that listening to music is the best choice for me to at weekends Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You have free time in the evening, what would you like to do: learning karate, learning swimming, or working as a tutor? I have free time in the evening these days, and I would like to something interesting I am considering learning karate, learning swimming, or working as a tutor After thinking carefully, I believe learning swimming is the best for me because of the following reasons To begin, swimming is an effective stress reliever It provides a pleasant way to escape from hot days Besides, the cool water as well as active body movements will take some stress impact out off my body while I am swimming Secondly, swimming helps me keep fit and stay healthy In fact, I need to move my whole body against the resistance of the water when I swim Thus, it is a great workout for me to strengthen my muscles, to build my endurance and cardiovascular fitness As a result, I can maintain my healthy weight, healthy heart, and lung Finally, swimming is an important survival skill for us to be safe in the area where there are a lot of rivers and pond like the South of Vietnam In contrast, I not think learning karate is suitable for me because it seems too hard to practice Similarly, I think working as a tutor is only suitable for educational students who have necessary teaching methods to help their students to widen knowledge All in all, from the reasons above, I believe swimming is the best choice for me to reduce stress, keep fit and stay healthy You are considering an activity to with your family on weekends There are three options: going shopping, going on a picnic, or going to a restaurant? I am considering an activity to with my family on weekend There are three options for us consisting going shopping, going on a picnic, and going to a restaurant After thinking carefully, I think going on a picnic is the best choice for us because of the following important reasons First of all, going on a picnic is a perfect opportunity for us to have closer family bonds Indeed, together we prepare for the picnic, we also have time to talk, listen, and enjoy the happy and relaxing time Clearly, spending time staying with family will help us foster warmth, love, protection as well as emotions of belonging among the family members Moreover, going on a picnic is extremely helpful to relieve stress Spending happy time outside besides our beloved people and enjoying the bright sunshine, cool breeze and rich greenery have amazing effects on our mind and promote our mood Finally, it can improve out mental health For example, according to a study issued by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (NAS) in 2015, associates who spent 90 minutes in a natural environment reported minimum levels of anxiety and decreased neural activity in the submental prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain associated with mental sickness On the contrary, I not think going shopping is ideal for us because the shopping malls are usually very crowed on weekends; thus, it will be very tired and stressful to shop at that time Likewise, going to a restaurant is not the best due to its expensive cost After all, I believe that going on a picnic is the best choice for me and my family to enjoy the weekend together Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You have some free time in the evening, so you want to take a part time job Which is the most suitable for you among working as a waiter/ waitress, working as a shop assistant or being a tutor? I have some spare time in the evening; thus, I would like to take a part time job There are three options which are working as a waiter/ waitress, working as a shop assistant, and working as a tutor After considering, I think being a tutor is the most suitable for me thanks to several important reasons To begin, being a tutor is a meaningful to earn money so that I can share my parents’ financial concern for my studying Whatever skills I tutor, I can earn some money for sharing my knowledge with my students Thus, the sum of money that I receive from my family will be reduced Furthermore, this is a great chance for me to revise and widen knowledge In fact, before teaching, I need to prepare carefully for the lessons This means I have opportunity to study again what I have been taught, and study more about any aspect that I have not mastered Another good point of being a tutor is that I will have a great addition to my CV after graduation Indeed, as a tutor, I must learn skills to have ability to manage, motivate and mediate Besides, tutoring shows my ability to put my qualifications into practice which is important in the world of work Undoubtedly, having these skills makes me become more employable when I apply for a job in the future On the contrary, I not think working as a waiter/ waitress or a shop assistant is the best choice because that position needs me to work in shifts Since a shift is about four hours at least, it seems too time-consuming for me to focus on my studying To conclude, from the discussed reasons, I believe being a tutor is the best part-time job I should take Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 2: ENTERTAINMENT You will have free time and plan to enjoy a film with your friends Which is the best choice among: a cartoon, a humorous film, and a science fiction film? My friends and I are going to be free, and we are planning to enjoy a film We are discussing what we should choose among a cartoon, a humorous film, and a science fiction film In my opinion, a humorous film is the best choice because of the following reasons First, a humorous film helps us have better friendship Indeed, watching a comedy together gives us chance to learn more about each others’ taste in humour Certainly, the more we understand each other, the better our friendship becomes Second, watching a humorous film is good for our mental heath The details of a comedy usually make us laugh a lot during the film According to a study published by American Physiological Society in 2008, laughter lowered the levels of three stress hormones Particularly, cortisol, epinephrine, and DOPAC- a dopamine catabolite- lowered by 39,70 and 38 percent This means watching a humorous film is a great way to relieves stress and have a better mental health Furthermore, a humorous film is also good for our physical health Indeed, a study of Vanderbilt University figured out that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes can potentially burn up to 50 calories Besides, by releasing infection fighting antibodies, laughing can strengthen our immune system Going to a comedy show is also a natural way to alleviate pain The laughter from the show can releases endorphins which act as a natural pain reliever In contrast, cartoon is not suitable for our age to enjoy Likewise, a science fiction film seems too complicated and needs much attention to understand This seems a bit stressful To conclude, because of a lot of benefits that a comedy brings us, I think going to a humorous film is the best choice for us to enjoy Your friends and you plan to spend the weekend evening watching TV together Three choices are a game show, a music show, or a comedy film Which one is the best choice? My friends and I plan to spend the weekend evening watching TV together There are three choices consisting a game show, a music show, and a comedy film After considering carefully, I think watching a game show is the best choice for us because of the following reasons First, a game show helps connect us during the showing time because we can gather, together watch the show, and discuss about them Second, it is a great stress reliever When we follow the game show, we can temporally forget the stressful studying Moreover, there are many types of games show on TV nowadays from cooking, singing, dancing to dating; thus, we can choose our favourite one to enjoy Certainly, watching what we like is really relaxing and enjoyable Finally, watching a game show can help us widen our knowledge about different field Take the example of the show “Who is the Millionaire” There are a lot of questions about different field at different difficult levels From watching that show, we can enlarge our knowledge so much In contrast, although a comedy is interesting to watch, I think it would be better if we go to the cinema and enjoy it Similarly, we can listen to the music on the internet at any time In conclusion, among the three choices, I believe watching a game show is the best choice for us to spend this weekend evening together Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 3: FUTURE PLAN With your friend, you are discussing the changes in your life after graduating from the university Three suggestions are: getting married, starting a business with your friends, and pursuing graduate studies for a master’s degree or higher degree Which you think is the best solution for a newly graduated student? With my friends, we are discussing the changes in my life after I graduate from the university The three suggestions are getting married, starting a business with my friends, and pursuing graduate studies for a master’s degree higher degree Personally, I think applying for further studying is the best choice for me because of the following reasons First, I can enjoy the pleasure of studying In fact, the re is no thing can compare with the happiness of widening knowledge Besides, my desire to enlarge knowledge will be satisfied by continuously study to get master’s degree or higher one Another benefit is that I can broaden my job opportunities and increase my potential income A master’s degree is a proof showing that I have enough specialized knowledge to advance in my field Therefore, it makes me easier to transfer into more senior positions and earn more money According to salaryexplorer.com, In Vietnam, the salary of people who have master’s degree is 29% higher than that of those who only have bachelor’s degree In contrast, I believe I am too young to get married right after graduation It is better for me to enjoy myself some time before thinking about marriage Similarly, I not have enough money and experience to start a business with my friends To sum up, I believe studying more to get higher degree is the most ideal choice for me after university graduation Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 4: STUDYING You are discussing what you should to get the best result in the English language proficiency exams this weekend Three ways of improving English language skills are suggested: learning exam focus materials by heart, sharing learning experiences with colleagues/ friends, and making best use of materials online Which you think is the best choice? We are going to take an English language proficiency exam this weekend, and we are discussing what should to get the best result There are three ways to improve English skills which are learning exam focus materials by heart, sharing learning experiences with friends, and making best use of materials online Personally, I believe sharing experiences with friend is the best choice to get the higher result because of the following reasons First of all, it is fun to study with friends In fact, studying in groups gives us chances to discuss and share our ideas about the lessons It is happy to find out new things from other ideas Certainly, we may share some jokes during that time to reduce the stress level of the lessons Furthermore, it is a great way for me to practice and improve speaking, listening and even writing skills It is clearly that we need someone listen to us while we are speaking They can help us figure out our pronunciation errors or grammatical mistakes so that we can avoid them in the upcoming exam At the same time, when we listen to others, we can learn their ideas and their ways to solve the problem Besides, it is better if there is someone who check our writing task and figure out any errors in it In contrast, learning by heart is not the best way because I may completely forget when I feel nervous during the test Likewise, the materials online are too much for me to read and master in a short time All in all, I believe studying in group with my friends to share learning experience is the best way for me to get a good result in the English language proficiency exam this weekend You are discussing what makes a good teacher Discuss the following three qualities: good knowledge of a particular subject, active teaching methods, passion for teaching Which you think is the most important quality? We are discussing what makes a good teacher There are three main qualities consisting of good knowledge of a particular subject, active teaching methods, and passion for teaching Personally, I believe passion for teaching is the most important factor that a good teacher must have thanks to the following reasons To begin, having passion makes a teacher try her best to overcome any difficult in their work In fact, it is difficult for us to be successful in the field we not like Only with the passion for teaching, a teacher can bear the extremely pressure of writing lesson plan, teaching almost 10 period a day, filling different kinds of papers, and can tolerate the bad behaviours of naughty students and even of their parents Furthermore, when a teacher love teaching, she will study seriously to gain knowledge about the field she works in Day by day, she would be good at the subject that she teaches Besides, because she loves her job, she will work harder and more seriously to find out effective methods so that she can help her students master the lesson easier and clearer In contrast, while having active teaching methods and good knowledge of a particular subject is important to be a good teacher, they can not a perfect one if they not have enough passion for teaching In conclusion, although a good teacher needs good knowledge and attractive teaching methods, she should have a strong passion of teaching to become a perfect teacher Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You not know where you should study to improve your IELTS score to meet the English language requirements Talk about the following: choosing one well-known foreign language centre to study, spending time at learning resource centre, and taking part in an English language club? Which you think is the most effective? I am going to study abroad for a degree, but I not know where I should study to improve my IELTS score to meet the English language requirements There are three options: studying at one well-known foreign language centre, spending time at learning resource centre, and taking part in an English language club Personally, I think choosing a famous foreign language centre is the best choice for me because of the following reasons First, studying English at a foreign language centre helps me save time Indeed, self-studying is good and can be successful, but requires a lot of time to read and analyse the lessons ourselves It also needs much effort, great discipline to reach the success while taking a course at a foreign language centre instead will help me have a clear and good plan to follow Next, I will be instructed by experienced teachers, and have good environment to practice my English In fact, to get good score in IELTS test, I not only need good proficiency of English but also know some skills to solve the test quickly and effectively Certainly, I can not gain such valuable experience in a short time without the instructions and sharing of professional teachers Besides, when I register to study in a language centre, I will be arranged to study in a class where I can find partners to practice speaking and listening skills Furthermore, we can have group studying to enhance English proficiency In contrast, taking part in an Englishspeaking club is good for my communicative skills, but the language in these clubs is not academic enough for me to apply into IELTS test Similarly, spending time at a learning resource centre is only suitable to practice reading and writing skills Moreover, this choice lacks valuation and correction from teachers about what I should improve and avoid in the test In conclusion, I believe that enrolling in a prestigious language centre is the best choice for me to have good preparation for the upcoming IELTS test Your friends and you are going to study in group about history There are three ways: going to the museum, watching a documentary film, reading history books Which you think is the best way to get good result in history group studying? My friends and I are going to study in group for history assignment, we are thinking the most effective way for this There are three choices consisting of going to the museum, watching a documentary film, and reading history books In my opinion, I believe going to the museum is the best solution because of the three important reasons below To begin with, history museum is the best place for everyone who wants to learn history Indeed, there are many historical objects of the past which are carefully arranged in topics and eras These artefacts and documentary pictures give us good image about what happen in the past Thus, we can easily remember and the events Secondly, the lectures of the staffs will help us understand the issue more clearly While we a look at the artefacts about one historical event, there is a staff explaining what happened in detail Certainly, we can make any questions about the event if there is something we not understand clearly Finally, this is the cheapest and most quickly way to learn about history In fact, the fee to enter a museum is much cheaper than the sum of money for a film ticket Some history museums are even completely free the entrance fee They also collect and arrange all things in topics, it easy to understand while we must arrange the events ourselves if we read books This takes us much time In contrast, watching a documentary film is expensive, and it does not provide a wide range of the knowledge about history because one film discusses only one event Similarly, reading books is expensive and take us a lot of time due to the high prices of history books and the vast information of them All in all, I strongly recommend going to the history museum in my city to learn for our group history assignment Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC PRESENTS Your friend is going to study abroad, and you are considering a gift for him/her There are three choices: a book, a handmade product, and a backpack Which you think is the best?

My friend is going to Australia to study next week, and I am considering a meaningful gift for him There are three options which are a camera, an English writing book, and a sweater Personally, I think an English writing book is the best because of several important reasons The foremost, books are never enough for a student to have, and this is true with my friend Indeed, he loves reading books a lot; thus, I believe that he will be happy to receive a book from me Besides, another reason is that English writing will be helpful much in his studying English will be completely used in studying in Australia, this book can provide him some more useful knowledge so that he can get higher result in academic writing Furthermore, although a good book is invaluable, its price is affordable for me Being a student, I not have enough money to buy luxury things, so a book is the suitable for to choose On the contrary, a camera is too expensive for me to purchase Besides, thanks to the development of the technology, he can take high quality photos with his smartphone which is small, light, and easy to be operated Similarly, I not think a sweater is the best gift because he is a very careful man, he must have prepared it in his luggage, I believe All in all, after considering carefully, I am going to buy him an English writing book as a small gift this weekend Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You are discussing what to buy for your close friend’s birthday Three things you can buy are: a box of chocolate, a book on friendship, and a photo frame Which you think is the best choice? My close friend’s birthday is coming next week, and I am considering what present I should send her The three options are a box of chocolate, a book on friendship, and a photo frame Personally, I suppose that a photo frame is the best choice because of several reasons First, it has reasonable price A photo frame is usually about one hundred thousand VND or more This price is affordable for a student like me Second, a photo frame can be a beautiful ornament on her working desk A small and lovely photo frame can make her working desk more attractive Last, it can keep the one of the most meaningful moment of her life Indeed, she can choose a photo which she likes most to put in the frame and put it on the desk where she works everyday When she feels stressful from working, she can look at the smile of her beloved people on the photograph so that she can have more energy to go on On the contrary, a box of chocolate is not the best choice because chocolate seems too sweet for her Likewise, a book about friendship may be redundant for our friendship In conclusion, I believe a lovely photo frame will be the best present I should buy her on her birthday next week You are considering what to buy your mother on her birthday The three options are: a cell phone, an air conditioner, and a cookbook Which you think is the best present for her? My mother’s birthday is coming next week, and I am considering what to buy her on that special day among a cell phone, an air conditioner, and a cookbook Personally, I believe a new smartphone will be the best because of the following reasons First, because I am studying far from home, a new smartphone helps my mother and me keep contact easier In fact, thanks to social networks such as messenger and Zalo, we can make video calls easily and cheaply Thus, she can see and talk to me whenever she misses me, and so I Second, it can provide my mother a new means of entertainment Clearly, a smartphone connected to the internet is a great source of entertainment My mother can listen to her favourite songs which are old and are not watched on TV these days Last, her current phone is old enough to be changed My mother has been always sacrificed all good things for my family, she seldom buys any luxury things for herself Her phone now is old and sometimes has problems with accepting a phone call Thus, she should have a new phone, I think In contrast, an air conditioner is not suitable because my mother has already installed it in my home Similarly, although a cookbook is great, and she loves looking very much, she can read it or watch cooking programs on the phone To sum up, I believe a new cell phone is the best present that I should buy for my mother Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC TRAVELLING AND PLACES You and your family are going to travel to Hue Which means of transportation is the most suitable for you: by plane, by train, or by coach? My family and I are going to travel to Hue, and I am considering the most convenient means of transportation among a plane, a train, and a coach Personally, I suppose that going by plane is the most potential choice for us thanks to several important reasons First of all, plane is the fastest kind of transport nowadays, so I can save time for further plans in Hue For example, we can arrive there earlier to go around the city to get familiar with the environment and atmosphere in Hue Besides, although the price for plane tickets is quite expensive compared with the two others, our family will be less tiredness when traveling to Hue by airplane Indeed, faster trip, more comfortable seats and more caring services can help my family enjoy the journey Finally, there is an airport in Can Tho city now, we not need to change the transport between the trip like going by train In fact, if we choose going by train, we must catch a coach to Ho Chi Minh city because there is no railway in my province This is inconvenient On the other hand, I not think going by coach is the wise choice for us because it may make my grandma and my little sister tired due to the long trip Likewise, going by train is inconvenient as mentioned above Based on the above reasons, I think traveling to Hue by plane would be the best option You are going to spend a holiday with your family or friends, and you are finding an accommodation Which is the most suitable for you: staying at a hotel, staying at a hostel, or staying at a guest house? My family and I are going to spend a holiday together, and I am finding a place to stay during that time There are three recommended accommodations like a hotel, a hostel, and a guest house Personally, I reckon I would choose staying at a hotel as the most suitable choice for the holiday with my family There are two main benefits when we stay at a hotel Firstly, most hotels have better service than hostels or guest houses At stars or upper hotels, they have already included other services like restaurant, swimming pools, gym club and so on Thus, my family would enjoy the trip better Secondly, hotels are usually located near downtown, so we can go to the city centre by ourselves to see the modern beauty of the city and take some photos while walking on the streets It would be an unforgettable memory and help my family members get closer together In contrast, although hostels and guest houses have cheaper price than hotels, they may not have the same excellent security services as the hotels Of course, safety is one of the most important factors that we consider carefully when choosing a place to live For all these reasons, staying at a hotel would be the most considerable choice Speaking Part Page 10 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You are going to start a new job and thinking about the place to live Which is the most suitable for you: relative’s house, an apartment, or a boarding house? When I start a new job in a new city and must find a new place to live among my relative’s house, an apartment, and a boarding house, I would choose staying at a boarding house because of the following reasons First of all, living at a boarding house is very convenient about the time Indeed, when I live at my relative’s house, I have to come home soon in order not to bother my relatives Besides, the cost for renting a boarding house is also more reasonable than monthly paying for an apartment Furthermore, living in a boarding house helps me understand the customs and living habits of local people in the new place Gradually, I will get familiar with the life there On the contrary, I feel it is not convenient to live in my relative’s house because I usually stay up late in the evening to work and may annoy them Similarly, an apartment is too large and expensive for me to rent Briefly, from the above reasons, I believe living at a boarding house would be the most appropriate selection You are going to take a holiday trip Choose one from the following destinations: an Asian country, a Vietnamese big city, or a country in North America Which you think is the best choice? If I am going to have a holiday trip, I would like to visit the United States, which is located in North America There are several benefits for that choice The first one is that I will have the opportunity to explore the traits of life in the West I would visit the modern beauty of big cities in the US such as San Francisco, New York, Washington, and many other big cities Moreover, as an English learner, I always hope to visit an English-speaking country, and the US is one of the most appropriate areas I will have a chance to practice communicating in English during the trip Finally, when conversating with the people their, I can share interesting things about Vietnam and Vietnamese We can exchange differences in both cultures In contrast, a Vietnamese big city is also attractive, but I have visited them with my family before Besides, I also want to visit an Asian country such as Japan, Korea, Thailand, or China, but it is not ideal to visit now Actually, I am learning Japanese, and I will visit Japan soon after I can speak their language a little Based on the above reasons, I think having a holiday trip to the US would be the best choice for me Speaking Part Page 11 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You are going to work in a big city for a few months How will you arrange your accommodation? Staying with your relatives, renting a room, or staying at a cheap hotel? Which is your best choice? I am going to work in a big city for a few months and I am considering arranging my accommodation The three options are staying with my relatives, renting a room, or staying at a cheap hotel I think staying with my relatives is the best choice because of the following reasons Firstly, staying with my relatives is the best way to save money because the living standard in a big city is high, and almost everything is costly In this case, when living with my relatives, I not have to pay the cost for housing Secondly, staying with my relatives is extremely helpful because they can help me adapt to a new living environment In fact, they can show me the directions to somewhere in the city and share what I should if I not know Finally, it is an opportunity for me to strengthen the relationship with my relatives Indeed, we can become closer to each other by chatting, cooking, or even going shopping together In contrast, I not think renting a room is the best choice because it is quite difficult to find a suitable room in the big city Similarly, staying at a cheap hotel is not the most suitable because of the living costs To sum up, from the reasons discussed above, I believe staying with my relatives is the best choice in this situation Where would you like to live after graduation: in a city suburb, near the sea, or in the countryside? There are options for where I would live after graduation: in a city suburb, near the sea, or in the countryside I think a city suburb is the best choice because of some following reasons Firstly, a city provides more job opportunities because there are many big companies and factories with a wide range of jobs in different fields In fact, I can have more chances to find a well-paid job that matches my major Secondly, a city is a place of high living standard, so I can live in a good condition with modern facilities and social services such as healthcare, education, and entertainment Finally, living in a city is more convenient than the other options For instance, there are various means of transportation like bus and taxi so that I can get around the city easily In contrast, I don’t think the countryside is the best because it has low living standard Similarly, living near the sea is not the most suitable because of less career development opportunities after graduation To sum up, from the reasons discussed above, I believe living in a city is the best choice in this situation Speaking Part Page 12 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART There are two old people in your family, and you are planning about a trip on the next holiday Which is the most suitable place for your family: a quiet town, a big city, or a coast city? There are two old people in my family, and I am planning about a trip on the next holiday The options for this situation are a quiet town, a big city, and a coast city I think a coast city is the best choice because of the following reasons Firstly, it helps us release stress and recharge energy Indeed, the soothing sound of the waves relaxes our mind and body When listening to the sound of the waves and lounging seaside, we can forget about the worries of the outside world Secondly, going to a coastal area is a chance for us to enjoy fresh and delicious seafood In fact, there are many seafood restaurants with good services for us to choose Finally, there are many outdoor activities suitable for people at any ages such as sunbathing, walking along the beach, watching dawn and sunset on the sea, buying souvenirs and eating local specialty In contrast, I don’t think a quiet town is the best choice because there are few fun activities Similarly, a big city is not the most suitable because of traffic jam and environmental pollution To sum up, from the reasons discussed above, I believe a coastal city is the best choice in this situation Choose a place to celebrate your father’s birthday party: a famous restaurant, a restaurant near your house, or at home? I am choosing a place to celebrate my father’s birthday party The options are a famous restaurant, a restaurant near my house, or at home I think at home is the best choice because of the following reasons Firstly, celebrating the party at home helps us save much money Indeed, we don’t have to pay for the food and services when eating in a restaurant We can prepare food and drink and decorate the house for the party ourselves Secondly, this is a more meaningful party when we celebrate it at home because we can enjoy a cosy party in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere with all the family members Finally, having a birthday party at home is happier For instance, it’s time for everyone to gather together and share our feelings as well as chat with each other after a day tiring at work In contrast, I don’t think a famous restaurant is the best because I think home cooking is tastier and more nutritious Similarly, a restaurant near my house is not the most suitable because of noise and crowd To sum up, from the reasons discussed above, I think celebrating my father’s birthday party at home is the best choice in this situation Speaking Part Page 13 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 7: TECHNOLOGY You are discussing the benefits of using mobile phones Some people like them to stay connected Some use them to enhance their own business Others think mobile phones become a matter of fashion and prestige Which you think is the most basic benefit? We have some benefits from using mobile phones Some people like them to stay connected Some use them to enhance their own business Others think mobile phones become a matter of fashion and prestige In my view, the most basic benefit of using mobile phones is to boost people’s business because of the following reasons First, business owners use mobile phones to communicate with customers or schedule appointments Clearly, mobile phone is an indispensable device of everyone, so it is even more essential for business owners in order to boost the relationship between them and their customers Second, using mobile devices, people can manage or monitor social media In fact, there are a lot of fan pages on social network, which is the best way to advertise their business Last, business owners also use mobile phones for banking Undoubtedly, they use mobile devices to accept payments from customers Some tools on mobile phones are easy to use and enable customers to take payments using their credit and debit cards, so they no longer have to shut down prospective purchasers who don’t have cash In contrast, staying connected is not the basic benefit of using mobile phones because without mobile phones, we can still keep in touch with others by having conversations in person or using social networking on computers Similarly, I not think using mobile phones can make us become more fashionable and prestigious since I usually define someone fashionable based on their appearance and how they dress In summary, from the things that we have just discussed, I strongly believe that the most basic benefit that a mobile phone brings to us is enhancing our own business You are discussing the negative effects of overusing computers on children Three serious problems that children may face are: vision problems, physical health issues, and addiction Which you think is the worst problem? There are several negative effects of overusing computers on children Three serious problems that children may face are: vision problems, physical health issues, and addiction Personally, addiction is the worst problem because of the three main reasons First of all, computer addiction prevents children from spending enough time with their family and friends In fact, children today spend most of their time watching films or playing games on computers Therefore, they not want to spend time with their family of friends Secondly, instead of being addicted to computers, children should participate in outdoor activities and go out to play different sports It is clear that physical activities are quite essential for the mental and physical development of a child and computers are making children lazy and affecting their overall development Finally, addiction is the worst problem of overusing computers because it causes psychological problems Indeed, a child addicted to computers has a greater risk of depression than any other child In contrast, I not think vision problem is the worst one of using computers too much because if children use computers in a safe distance, they can minimize the effect of computers to their eyes Similarly, physical health issues are not the worst problems since children can exercises to improve their health after using computers To sum up, from the reasons discussed above, I believe addiction is the most negative effect of overusing computers on children Speaking Part Page 14 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART You are discussing the bad impact of online gaming on children Three optional effects are: passive think, unhealthy relationships, and academic neglect Which you think is the most serious impact of online gaming? Three bad effects of online gaming on children are passive think, unhealthy relationships, and academic neglect I suppose that academic neglect is the most serious impact of online gaming due to the following reasons To begin with, playing online games will make children spend less time on their study For example, when children have free time, they will use that time to play games instead of doing their homework Furthermore, children playing online games too much are easy to be passive in class In fact, those students not like to work in group or take part in class activities Moreover, they always keep games in their mind Then, game addiction distracts students in class It is clear that children usually stay up late to play game, so they will feel sleepy during class As a result, they can’t absorb the lesson well On the contrary, I don’t think all online games make children become thinking passively because there are several games can help them improve their memory and be more creative Similarly, unhealthy relationship is not the worst effect that online games bring to children because children sometimes prefer playing games individually to playing in group In short, from the reasons that we have just discussed, I strongly believe that academic neglect is the most serious impact of online gaming Speaking Part Page 15 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 8: ENVIRONMENT Protecting environment is especially important nowadays What is the most suitable for you to do: planning a tree, recycling cans and reusing plastic bottles? There are options to solve this problem, they are planting trees, recycling cans and reusing plastic bottles In my opinion, Planting tree is the best choice for this situation because of some following reasons First of all, trees are planted as they absorb CO2 and release O2 into the atmosphere making the air clean and purified The vehicles on the roads emit CO2 which is one of the main contributors in making the environment become worse and worse The second reason why growing trees is the most suitable solution is that we not have to invest much money in doing it It is one of the considerably cheap ways to protect the environment Moreover, planting more trees seems to be effortless, eco-friendly and have a longer-term impact on the environment I not think recycling cans is the best option because it requires us to make a huge effort to do, and it maybe waste a lot of money Similarly, reusing plastic bottles is not the perfect one because it needs to have a number of people to pick up, make those bottles clean and encourage people to use reused bottles To sum up, base on the above reason I think planting trees is the most suitable solution for this situation, I believe Protecting and preserving the living environment should be educated to young people You are discussing three possible ways: planting a green tree, avoiding burning garbage, and recycling as many things as you can Which you think is the possible way that the young should do? Protecting and preserving the living environment should be educated to young people There three possible ways: planting a green tree, avoiding burning garbage, and recycling as many things as you can In my opinion, I think planting green a tree is the best choice because of some following reasons Trees planting is recognised as one of the most engaging, environmentally friendly activities that the young can take part in to better the planet First of all, the young can partake this activity at school or in their town, it is so easy for them to give their hands to protect the living environment around them without moving so far Secondly, most of the young study biology in class, they can know how to plant a tree and have a chance to apply their theory into their real life In contrast, I not think that avoiding burning garbage is the most suitable one for this situation because this way can consume more money than the first one, government or schools have to organise some training courses to teach them about the drawbacks of burning garbage and how badly these affect on the environment Similarly, I not think recycling as many things as you can is the perfect one because it takes the young a long time to that and it is hard to evaluate how well they can To sum up, base on the above reasons, I thinks planting a tree is the most suitable option for this situation, I believe Speaking Part Page 16 MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 9: PUNISHMENT You are discussing how to reduce violent during adolescence (juvenile delinquency) Three possible ways are suggested: harsh punishment, parental supervision, and educational support Which you think is the best way? I am discussing how to reduce violent during adolescence There are three possible ways are suggested harsh punishment, parental supervision, and educational support In my opinion, I think educational support is the best choice for this situation because of some following reasons First of all, Educational support is one of the lightest ways to reduce violent during adolescence They not have to suffer from any serious penalty which can affect badly on their mental and physical development Secondly, it is not difficult to carry out because we can teach them directly at school through some subjects and suggest their parents helping us to educate them at home Thirdly, it can bring effectiveness for us rapidly and does not cost too much money In contrast, I not think harsh punishment is the most suitable choice for this situation because it can make adolescence be in anxiety and fear They will be scared and not want to talk and share anything with anyone Similarly, Parental supervision is not the perfect one because their parents can not stay by their side whole day, so this solution is not perfectible to and its effect is not really useful to help them reduce violent To sum up, base on the above reasons, I think educational support is the best choice for this situation, I believe Speaking Part Page 17 ... of all, trees are planted as they absorb CO2 and release O2 into the atmosphere making the air clean and purified The vehicles on the roads emit CO2 which is one of the main contributors in making... best part-time job I should take Speaking Part Page MINH ANH FLC TEACHING FROM THE HEART TOPIC 2: ENTERTAINMENT You will have free time and plan to enjoy a film with your friends Which is the... laugh a lot during the film According to a study published by American Physiological Society in 20 08, laughter lowered the levels of three stress hormones Particularly, cortisol, epinephrine,
