PRACTICE TEST 1

TASK 1: Write a letter to one of your friends to tell her/ him about the summer holiday
you had
Hi Vương,
How are things going? I hope everything is going well for you. And now I'd like to tell you
about my summer vacation. Last summer, my family and I visited the ancient town of Hoi An.
I wanted to spend my vacation in Hoi An because it was a tourist destination with many
beautiful old houses and a fresh environment. We went there by car and stayed in a hotel for
three days. We did a lot of interesting things in this ancient town, such as visiting monuments,
releasing lanterns, eating special dishes, and so on. My family felt happy and relaxed on that
trip. That's all I have to say about my vacation.
Besh wishes.
TASK 2: Write an essay about sports and their benefits.
Sports are an activity that plays an important role in our lives, such as football, volleyball,
basketball, swimming, running, etc. Football is my favorite sport because it makes me happy
and relieves stress after a long day of studying and working. Sport is one of the most
beneficial activities for people of all ages. It gives the person who participates in it regularly
both physical and mental strength. Physical activity reduces stress hormones in the body and
stimulates the release of endorphins, which may provide you with more energy and focus for
whatever life throws at you. Next, sports enable you to build better relationships with people.
Through frequent sport, you can get to know a lot about an individual’s personality, strengths,
and weaknesses. Sport with colleagues is a good opportunity to build better relationships and
networks that may help you in your job. I usually participate in sports five times per week. I
must say that it helps me forget my anxiety and stress from my job, and it makes me more
optimistic in my life.
PRACTICE TEST 02
TASK 1: You’ve just had a birthday. Write a letter to your English friend about
your favourite birthday present.
Dear Tom,
How are you? I just had a birthday party last week. Relatives and friends have given me many
beautiful gifts. One of my favorite presents is a computer from my dad. I love this gift so
much because I have wanted it for a long time. It helped me study effectively and work
harder. I hope to see you soon.
Best wishes,
Tuan.
TASK 2: Write an essay about the travelling and favourite places
Traveling is a fantastic way to learn new things in life. Dalat, a city in Vietnam's Lam Dong
province, is the most interesting place I've ever visited. I went there with a group of friends.
We went to many popular places, such as the Datanla Waterfalls, the Lake of Sighs, Linh
Phuoc Pagoda, and the Dalat Flower Gardens. It is a good city to visit for the reasons listed
below. Dalat has over 2000 villas but each was different. Each villa carries a separate beauty.
The villas usually have gardens, wide apart and there is a nice sight: Overlooking the pine
forest, overlooking a valley or toward Langbian mountain view. The city is so cool that
people feel happy, comfortable, and peaceful. It only has two seasons, wet and dry, and
temperatures range from 25-37 degrees but can drop to 11 degrees at times. In particular, Da
Lat people are gentle, friendly and hospitable, and willing to help when someone asks for
direction. I really enjoyed this place and would go back again if given the chance.
