T1_15: Discuss controversial issues politely.

A: hello cá, lâu ko gặp. bạn khoẻ ko

B: Me too, and how about you?

A: I’m ok and do you have a driving license

 B: No, you know, I'm just 17 but in Vietnamese law but Vietnam, the
government said that people who are 18 years old to have a driver's license

A: tao nghi la the government should lower the driving age

B: I couldn't agree with you more. I think teens need to have their own
experiences. Driving at sixteen is a great way for teens to indulge in
experiences and start a more independent life. Driving allows one to
have more freedom. Teens can go on dates and not have to rely on a
guardian to drive them. a guardian is not going to want to drive their
teenager to and from work all the time. If a teen has their licenses they
can drive themselves to and from work. Driving lets teens be able to get
a job and make money, which will help them become more mature.
Driving teaches teenagers responsibility. When a teen is driving they
are in control and they have to be aware of their surroundings.

A: That what I mean

B: You're 18 now, right?

A: yes.

B: you know that we have enough age to vote. It means that we can vote for
people who are capable and can make our country develop.

A: Yes, I believed that we can recognize someone by their talent and skills
like leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and so on

B: I agree with you on that one.

A: Gbye, I have to go now because I have a class to join right now.

B: See u soon.

T1_14: Describe the technology.

B: Hi, OMG are u good? You look so pale.

 A: Yea Hi ABC, too much work to do. Lately, I have had a lot of
assignments to complete. The pressure of studying makes me tired when I
come home with a bunch of housework. There's so much to do, I couldn't
sleep more than 4 hours in a day

B: I can understand u

A: I wish there was a robot that could do the housework for me. Every day
coming home from school, facing the chores that I need to do makes me
depressed. If I had a robot to do housework, I wouldn't have to worry about
washing dishes or washing clothes so I can sleep more time

B: Last week I was also almost depressed with a lot of work to do. School
assignments, part-time jobs, online jobs, ... everything seems to be pouring
into one week. I wish there was a robot that could do my homework. If I had
it I could take care of myself a bit. You see, my skin is so bad these days,
having too many pimples on my face makes me very self-conscious

A: I also wish that. But we don't have it. We can only wish and still have to
keep working. After completing the assignment, I think I will go on a trip to
relieve myself after a tiring day at work. Do you want to go with me?

B: If I have time, I will go with you.

A: Gbye, I have to go now because I have a class to join right now.

B: See u soon.

T1_13: Take responsibility for a mistake.

A: hello cá, lâu ko gặp. bạn khoẻ ko
B: tôi khỏe bạn thì sao

A: Well, actually I feel upset right now

B: What's going on? What's wrong w u?

A: A few days ago, I stole money from my parents in order to buy clothes.
That makes me feel down in the dumps right now. I have a sense of regret
 and I really want to apologize for them. Now, I think that I should find a
part-time job in order to have money. Then I will say sorry and pay money
for them. I wish they could forgive me.

B: That’s ok. Don’t worry. I am really happy that you take responsibility for
what you did.

A: Thank you. How about you? Do you regret anything?

B: Absolutely yes. To the best of my recollection, when I was a student. I

didn’t enroll in Math courses that made me couldn't pass the exams with
flying colors. My parents were disappointed. At that time I was in a blue
mood.

A: oh, I am really sorry to hear that, but after that, do you say sorry for your
parents ?

B: definitely yes. I had studied harder and harder on daily basis in order to
have high scores for the next time. and finally I could do it. I passed the
exams with flying colors then my parents were elated. I was over the moon.
that’s it. that is all about my story

A: Gbye, I have to go now because I have a class to join right now.

A: Hey, Hello B. How are u keeping?

B: I’m good. And u?
A; Pretty good. Oh. You are a doctor now, aren’t u? I remember you had a
dream to be a singer
B: Yes, that's right. But now I am going to be a doctor. I gave up on my
previous dream of becoming a singer. I realized that being a singer is not
easy, moreover, my voice is not a special voice that can exist in the artist
world.
A: What made you change your mind?
B: I look forward to contributing to society. I enjoy healing others,
especially children. Seeing them in pain makes me unable to hold back.
When I treat them, seeing them get better day by day makes me feel
fulfilled. I can use my knowledge to help people. So, I'm trying to constantly
study to become a good doctor
 A: It sounds great. I used to be a big fan of your singing talent; it would be a
waste if you weren't a singer

teacher

make my life better as a teacher. This life is not as easy as we thought,
everything needs money to maintain life.
B: Yea I can’t agree more.
A: But that's okay, Currently I'm a teacher now, but mostly I'm a tutor. So I
can earn a lot of money to do everything that i want to do like travelling with
my girlfriend
A: Oh, great see ya

A: You know, earthquakes happen suddenly and make many people afraid.
At first, the earthquake was very strong but luckily it only happened for 5
minutes

B: Really! Is there any damage after the earthquake?

Japanese always have a way to avoid the damage it causes. So there wasn't
much damage after the earthquake. To them, earthquakes seem so familiar
that they don't care too much for the earthquake

B: thanks, got, I feel relieved when I hear that. But have you heard about the
storm that landed in the central region of VN?

A: Yes, I heard it on the news in Japan. Is there any damage after the storm?

almost destroyed. The storm also caused heavy rain that flooded an entire
city. People had to evacuate but the storm was so strong that many people
drowned. Some houses were flooded, people had to climb to the roofs of
houses to take shelter.

A: How much is the death toll?

B: Not many citizens died, but there were still tragic deaths, mainly soldiers
participating in saving people.

G’bye, I have to go now because I have a class to join right now.

B: The story of children as young as 12 years old who participated in the

war. This book describes the process of combat and sacrifice in a very young
age of thirty young men. “Severe Childhood” is one of my favorite books,
which is a novel by a famous Vietnamese writer. As an admirer of novels, I
cherish the value that is brought by this book for several reasons. It is a true
about the war in Viet Nam in the 70’s. Throughout the book, We can see the
 fierceness of the war, the pain that the war leaves, but above all, the brave
patriotic spirit of the children even though they are only 12-13 years old.
In conclusion, the benefit of that book is manifold. I have realized some
important things about peace world. You and me luckly live in a peace
world, Don’t have any war around us so we are the young generation of the
world need to strive for peace

special to do it really great. Do you have any plans?

B: I agree with you, I think I will take responsibility for decorating the house
with ribbons, and huge pink white balloons. Can you make a cake for him?

A: To be honest. I'm not good at cooking so I'll ask A to do that part. I

believe the cake will be great. and I will secretly convince Kai to come on
time. What about at the party?

B: Let me think. During the party we should be cheerful with each other,
we'll play music and dance together, and cut a cake to eat. Ah I forgot. After
the party we should take a photos to keep our good memory

semester to help me prepare for the final exam. I have two classes: English
class and IELTS class, and each instructor assigns me so much homework
that at the end of the week, I had been sat on a mound of papers the size of a
small book. I had been must be done all of this homework by the start of the
next week, or I would be penalized.

A: do u feel tired, don't you?

B: So what else is there other than me staying up late to finish all my

homework? This means I would not be able to play anything else, watched
TV, or even hung out with my bestie. During the day, it also entails stinging

B: It’s pretty, but there are more opportunities here. I’m planning to move
back there in a few years. What about you? Are you local?

A: Kind of. I was born here, but when I was five my parents moved to
VietNam, and I grew up there. I moved back here after I graduated, but I
haven’t spent that much time here.

too cold at the moment, so I’m going to be boring and catch up on some
housework.

me to a lake

later

B: Ok bye. Have a good day
