thú vị)

To prepare for a good job, we must be highly education acording to me. Most

people who are going to do professional work must have additional formal

education beyond the high school level.

The amount of time needed for with their education varies acording to me the

profesion for with they are preparing themselves. They must go to colleges and

universities to became an engineer, a architect, a lawyer a professor, a science.

I opinion an interesting job it tobe helpful to ourselves, our families, our country

and the society.

We will be able to choose a career that suits us best and to lead a happy and useful

life.

 countries to transact business, visit various places of interest, contact with all kinds

of people and have chances to communicate with them in english.

I hope that my dream would came true in the very near future.

Để chuẩn bị tốt cho một công việc, theo tôi chúng ta phải đánh giá cao giáo dục.

Hầu hết những người làm công tác chuyên môn phải có thêm tri thức giáo dục vượt

ra ngoài cấp trung học.

Lượng thời gian giáo dục cần thiết của họ thay đổi tùy theo mức chuyên môn nghề

nghiệp. Họ phải đi đến các trường cao đẳng và đại học để trở thành một kỹ sư, một

kiến trúc sư, một luật sư, một giáo sư, một nhà khoa học.

Ý kiến của tôi về một công việc thú vị là nó hữu ích cho tương lai bản thân, gia

đình, đất nước và xã hội.

Chúng ta sẽ có thể chọn một nghề nghiệp phù hợp nhất để sống một cuộc sống

hạnh phúc và hữu ích.

Đối với sự nghiệp của tôi : tôi muốn trở thành một doanh nhân. Tôi sẽ đi du lịch ra

nước ngoài để giao dịch kinh doanh, tham quan nhiều nơi, liên lạc với tất cả đối tác

và có cơ hội để giao tiếp với họ bằng tiếng Anh.

TOPIC 7: Advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.

As we know, living in a big city is supplied move facilities than anywhere esle.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.

First, I think living in a big city dwellers are provided a lot of society services,

such as health care, education, good job and they have much chance to contac or

work with foreigners, residents can easily travel fast, thanks to good infrastructure.

In addtion that, social services help life be easy and comfortable.

On the other hand, people living in a big city have to suffer from many

disadvantages : smoke rising from factories and all kinds of vehicle on the streets

makes environment polluted and influence people's health. The noise all day and

night makes their minds tense. Traffic jams happen every day.

Bản dịch: Những thuận lợi và khó khăn của cuộc sống trong một thành phố lớn

Như chúng ta biết, sống trong một thành phố lớn được cung cấp phương tiện di

chuyển tốt hơn so với bất cứ nơi nào khác. Tuy nhiên, có thuận lợi và khó khăn khi

sinh sống tại một thành phố lớn.

Trước tiên, tui nghĩ rằng cư dân sống trong một thành phố lớn được cung cấp rất

nhiều dịch vụ xã hội, chẳng hạn như chăm nom sức khỏe, giáo dục, công việc tốt

và họ có nhiều thời cơ để liên lạc hoặc làm việc với người nước ngoài, các cư dân

có thể dễ dàng đi du lịch nhanh chóng, nhờ vào cơ sở hạ tầng tốt. Bên cạnh đó,

dịch vụ xã hội giúp cuộc sống dễ dàng và thoải mái.

Mặt khác, người dân sống ở thành phố lớn phải gánh chịu nhiều bất lợi : khói tăng

từ các nhà máy và các loại xe trên các đường phố làm cho môi trường ô nhiễm và

ảnh hưởng tới sức khỏe con người. Tiếng ồn cả ngày và đêm làm cho tâm trí của

họ căng thẳng. Ùn tắc giao thông xảy ra hàng ngày

TOPIC 8: My holiday

Last summer, I had a good holiday. I never forget that meaningful holiday. When I

 came back my home from my holiday. First of all, I went to visit all my uncles and

aunts then I and some my friends went to visit all my old teachers. We talked about

our lives and works very much.

After that days, I stayed at home with my family. I helped my parents to paint the
house and did something else. I talked about my life in Ho Chi Minh city and my

work. My parents was very proud of me and I was very happy. After my holiday, I

came back Ho Chi Minh city to go on working. I think that I had a good holiday

and I’ll never forget it

Bản dịch: Kỳ nghỉ hè của tôi

Mùa hè năm ngoái, tui có một kỳ nghỉ tốt. tui không bao giờ quên kỳ nghỉ nghỉ hè

năm ngoái đầy ý nghĩa của tôi.

Khi tui trở về nhà cho kỳ nghỉ. Trước hết, tui đi thăm tất cả các bác, chú, cậu,

dượng và cô, dì, thím, mợ, bác gái của tôi.

Sau đó, tui cùng một số người bạn của tui đi thăm tất cả các thầy cô giáo cũ. Chúng

tui nói về cuộc sống và việc làm của chúng tui rất nhiều.

Sau những ngày đó, tui thường ở nhà với gia đình tôi. tui giúp bố mẹ tui sơn nhà

cửa và làm mọi thứ khác. tui nói về cuộc sống của tui ở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và

việc làm của tôi. Bố mẹ tui vừa rất tự hào về tui và tui rất hạnh phúc.

Sau kỳ nghỉ, tui trở lại thành phố Hồ Chí Minh để đi làm việc. tui nghĩ rằng: tui

vừa có một kỳ nghỉ thật là tốt và tui sẽ không bao giờ quên nó.

TOPIC 9: The means of transport you like most

If I have to decide which mean of transport I like most, it’ll be a car. Nowadays it

is really necessary for me and my family.

- Firstly, it is safer to drive a car than to ride a motorbike because in a car there are

air bags, seatbelts, car alarm… that prevent us from being injured if you have an

accident. Driving a car at night on a lonely road will safer than riding a motorbike.

- Secondly, you never have to think about the weather (such a rain, sun, storm, and

dark at night) when you drive. A car has air-conditioner which helps you to avoid

getting wet, dust… so it help to keep you healthy.

In the third place, a car is comfortable and fast. You can pretty much travel

wherever you want whenever you want within your local area, without having to

worry about the departure times and delays of the public transport system.
  - Furthermore, you will feel comfortable and relaxed with the CD and DVD

machines on the car. You can listen music and you have pleasure of driving. When

you are tired, you can stop the journey and rest.

- Finally, if you have just the one car between you and your family, it can be

possible to share the vehicle between all of the family members thus providing

everyone with a mode of transport at all times.

TOPIC 10: The most useful machine in the twentieth century

Among the most useful inventins in the last century; I find the computer the most

important because of these reasons:

- First, when the computer is connected to the Internet, it is a good way of learning

anh getting information. You can read newspapers on line and download lots of

information from the web pages. Besides, you can learn online as well.

- Second, computers is convenient because it helps you work faster by typing,

printing document and storing data if you want.

- Finally, computer is a good way to entertain with many kinds of games and

entertainments. There are a lot of games and on line activities like forum or

facebook for you to share ideas and information with your friends. You can also

listen to music or watch movies if you like.

In short, computers are really useful and important to my life and my work.

TOPIC 11: Your favorite leisure activity (for women)

I often cook when I have free time because cooking is a joyful and relaxing activity

for me.

- First, cooking a good meal brings happiness to my family. All the members in my

family can gather around the table and enjoy the food I cook and talk and share the

joy with each others.

- Second, cooking is my favorite hobby because I’m a woman. Cooking is one way

to show my feminine character and to show my responsibility in the family.

 - finally, cooking helps me reduce stress of everyday hard work and makes me
relaxed. When I cook, I can forget the problems that I have and just pay attention

to the cooking.

Maybe, after relaxing, I feel much happier and I can solve my problem.

In conclusion, cooking is my favourite activity when I have free time.

TOPIC 12: The advantages of living in the countryside

Living in the countryside is really good for your life because of these reasons:

- First, living in the country can bring you a clean evironment. The air is fresher

and there are lots of trees, rice fields and rivers, you can walk on the fields or along

the rivers to enjoy the clean and fresh air there in the early morning.

- Second, living in the countryside is cheaper than in the city because people there

have lower income and don’t have the habit of spending a lot of money. If you live

in the country, you can save a lot of money.

- Finally, people in the country are more friendly and opener than people in the city

because they live near each other. People live together in a small village so they

can talk countryside can have festivals and you can join and fell very happy.

In conclusin, there are many benefits of living in the country.

TOPIC 13: The disadvantages of living in the city

Many people find it difficult and unpleassant to live in the city because of these

reasons.

- First, the air in the city is getting more and polluted because the traffic is so

heavy, the city roads are in bad conditions and the population is really big. There

are fewer and fewer trees, lakes and rivers.

- Second, the cost of living is much higher than in the rural areas. People have to

spend more money on food, drink, clothes and other activities like traveling and

entertainment, while the salary has not been much improved.

- Finally, life in the city is more dangerous than in the countryside because of night

clubs, discotheques, casinos… City people are easily attracted by social evils such

as drinking, drug – talking or gambling… So, there are more crimes because some
people don’t want to work but only want money to play.

 - In short, living in the city has many disadvantages so people have to struggle a lot

to survive.

TOPIC 14: Talk about your weekend activities

Weekend time is my favorite time in the week because I can enjoy myself and do

many relaxing activities I like.

In the morning, after a relaxing breakfast, I often call some of my friends to ask

them to go shopping with me. We spend the whole morning going shopping and

then have lunch in a restaurant in the centre of Hanoi.

Then, I come back home for a nap. In the afternoon, I often go swimming with my

neighbor if the weather is hot. In winter I go jogging in the central park instead. I

usually have dinner with my family during weekend, so we can talk with each

other and share our stories. After dinner, I sometime listen to music or surf the net

to chat with friends or check emails. I usually do not go to bed late because I will

have lots of work on Monday.

to survive.

TOPIC 15: Talk about on of your hobbies

People may have different hobbis such as listening to music, watching T.V,

dancing. playing games or collecting things. My hobby is to read books.

I enjoy reading many types of books, but my favorite is detective. I like reading

stories about Sherlock Holmes of author Conald Doyle. I often read books in the

evening after I finish preparing things for the next day’s work.

When I have free time, I often go to bookstores to look for new books. Once a

week, I go to the city library to read there. I sometimers read books on line if I

canot get hard copies of the books I want.

Books help me relax a lot after days of hard work. Thanks to books, I can broaden

my knowledge and learn new things.

TOPIC 16: The most interesting place you have been to

 I have beeb to many places in Vietnam, but the most intersting place that I always

remember is Da Nang, the beautiful coastal city in Vietnam. It’s wonderful to me

because of these reasons.

First, the scenery in Da Nang is ideal for us to go sunbathing. We can swim in the

blue and clear sea water or do sunbathing on the soft sand beach under the yellow

and warm sunshine. The air is so fresh and pure.

Second, the local sea food are fresh, delicious but not expensive. For example,

tourists can enjoy different kinds of seafood such as crab, prawn, lobster,

seashell… Also, the people there are friendly, sociable and polite.

Third, there are many interesting activities to do beside playing football, tennis on

the beach, building sandcastles on the beach or watching the sunrise. For example,

we can sail on a boad trip to the Cu Lao Cham and watch the mountain scenery on

the way. Also, we may visit BaNa Hill….

For these reasons, Da Nang has alwaus been one of my favourite tourist attactions.

reasons:

First, learing a foreign language, English for example, helps us learn and get

imformation about new things in the world. There are a lot of books written in

English, French, Chinesse…

with people in other countries and learn a lot from them. We can use the language

to work and do business without an interpreter.

 TOPIC 18: Ways to have a good health.

If you want to have good health, you should follow these pieces of advice:

First, you should eat healthy food: lots of fruits, vegetable, fish and drink enough

water everydat to stay healthy. The Japanese eat a lot of fish so thay live very long.

You should eat less meat and fat food because thay may cause heart diseases and

increase the cholesterol level in your blood. Fruits and vegetables no only bring

you lots of vitamins and minerals but also help you have a better immune system.

TOPIC 19: Talk about your favorite television program

Among many programs and channels available on TV these days such as the

current news programs, sport programs, entertaining programs, educational

programs and movie programs, etc., I like the program “the World of Animals”

most.

This program is usually shown on VTV2 everyday at 8.30 in the evening. It often

lasts about 45 minutes. In this program, stories of the life of many animals in the

world are told in a very lively way. For example, people can watch films about

monkeys, snakes, tigers, insects, birds, sea turtles, sharks etc. … and even the

penguins and the polar bears in the far North. While watching these films, I find
the everyday life activities and habits of these animals very interesting and full

mysteries. In addition, I also learn that it is very important to protect these animals

and their living environments because they are part of our valuable natural world.

Watching this program makes me very well informed and relaxed after a day of

work.

 TOPIC 20: Talk about your favorite sport

These days, people are practicing many types of sport such as swimming, running,

cycling, aerobics, tennis, table tennis, badminton, golf and football, etc…. My

favorite sport is jogging. Jogging is a simple sport to practice because you don’t

need any special or expensive equipment like other sports. In fact you just need a

good pair of trainers for your self . The most suitable place for jogging is a park or

somewhere around a lake near your house. You can also jog on a field or in the

forest if you are living in the countryside. For me, I jog for about an hour in the

afternoon everyday after work. I usually go jogging alone, but if possible you can

ask my family members, friends or neighbors to go with me. While we jog, we

often talk and share with each other about everyday life stories, so we feel that we

can reduce our stress. After going jogging each day, I feel that I am more relaxed

and fit again after a long day of work.

TOPIC 21: Talk about one of your close friends

I have had many friends so far, but Thanh Nga is one of my close friends. Nga is

about 30 years old and is now working a researcher at an institute

in Hanoi. We met each other when we were in the secondary school. During those

days, we went to school together everyday, studied in the same class and shared

with each other all the joys and sorrow, so we have become close friends since

then.

My friend Nga is not very tall, but pretty with long black hair and a nice smile. She

is a very sincere, modest and helpful person. She likes painting and painted many

pictures. Also, I can still remember that Nga was very good at literature and
foreign languages.

We often meet each other when we have time. When we are very busy, we often

talk to each other on the phone or we chat on the Internet. Whenever we meet, we

often go to see other friends, go shopping or sit in a quite place to have coffee. We

talk about our life and share with each other our good news or problems and see if

we can help each other. Nga is really a good friend of mine, a friend for life.

TOPIC 22: Talk about your house/flat

 I live in a house in Hanoi … The house is in a small and quiet street in …………

district of Hanoi/…It takes about half an hout to go to the city center. The house

was built 5 years ago. It isn’t a big house and has two floors.

In my house there are 4 main rooms: a living room, a dining rooms, two bedrooms.

Besides, we have a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet.

We have a little but pretty garden; my family often spend our free time there to

grow plant and vegetables. Next to the garden there is a small yard where my

children often play after school.

In my house, I like the living room is my favorite one. This room was painted light

green, so we feel very pleasant. In this room, there is a tea table, a sofa and a

television. On the wall there is a couple of oil paintings. After dinner, our family

often spend time together talking to each other or watching a favorite TV program.

We often receive our guests in this room. I love my house. Everyday when I come

family.

teamwork and presentation skills, etc…

I really like my job because I am able to apply the knowledge and skills of the filed

I studied in my work. In addition, I have a flexible working time, so I can make

full use of the time in the office and have time for research. Also, I am lucky to

work with a very active and supportive staff. One thing I don’t like about this job

is that I often have to travel, so I sometimes don’t have time for my family. I am

planning to further my study to get a doctor degree.
