Describe a game you played in your childhood

You should say:
What the game is
When you played it
Who you played with
How you feel about the game
(What the game is) My childhood imprinted my memory with so much to

remember. However, what makes me miss my childhood most is the fashion game
that my cousin, her friends and I took part in every weekend. Well, we transformed my
cousin’s house into a stage with a curtain and a red carpet, seemingly in vain as the
stage turned out a mess all the time. Also, it was sheets and blankets that were an
ideal alternative to glowing evening gowns.
(When you played it) We held a “fashion show” most Sundays after church and
breakfast. During my childhood, a fashion show organized by Aquafina aired every
Sunday on TV, which was a source of inspiration and incentive for us to hold a model
show. Also, the fashion shows resulted, more than anything, from the fact that we were
all obsessed with decorating and designing clothes for our dolls.
(Who you played with) As mentioned previously, I played the game with my cousins
and her friends. We changed our roles each show, with one being the first face to turn
up and another one being the vedette who would bring the show to a close. These two
persons played the most important roles in the show, and apparently, they would be the
most resplendent ones.

(How you feel about the game) Even today, I sometimes think about the shows that
we held in the past, and whenever the shows spring my mind, I just split my sides. I
feel that I was born in the most beautiful time as we still had to struggle to get by, to
some extent, and rack our brain to find a way to entertain ourselves, which made our
games even more meaningful. Meanwhile, most children nowadays keep their eyes
glued to smartphone screens all the time.

Why you were satisfied with the result
(When it happened) As a student who lives far away from home, I am left with no
choice but staying with others in the university’s dorm. However, at first, it was not
easy for me to get on well with my roommates as I am quite obsessed with hygiene,
while others are quite messy. As I was the youngest person in the room, others kept
patronising me and made me do all the household chores. I found myself being
mentally and physically bullied for only a short time before I started to find my voice.
This happened exactly one year ago.
(Who you complained to) It was one of my roommates who was a senior of the
University of Science that condescended to me the most yet was the laziest among us
all. He was a couch potato who could spend a whole day keeping his eyes glued to a
screen to play games and never got rid of his garbage, which caused the room to be so
untidy and made me raise my voice.
(What you complained about) I had just caught him littering inside the room in broad
daylight when I started to complain. Respectfully, I told him that, while others strived
to keep the room clean as we did not have much time to clean the room every single
day, he made all our efforts go to waste. Also, another roommate accused him of using
his personal stuff without permission.

(Why you were satisfied with the result) On hearing our complaints, he gave us an
apology and promised to change himself and give others a hand with household
chores. At first, I doubted his words, so it came as a surprise that he shut down his
laptop, picked up the broom and promptly swept the floor. Since then, he has tried to
stick to the cleaning schedule that we set up on our first days of staying with each
other.

Anh ấy đối xử với những người trong team của anh ấy một cách bình đẳng và không
bao giờ giở giọng bề trên với họ.

Describe something that you did with one or more people

Tham khảo bài: Describe something you enjoyed doing with a group of people
You should say:
What it was
Where you did it and who you did it with
And explain why you think it was enjoyable
(What it was)
Today, I’m going to describe one activity I enjoy doing with my group of close friends,
which is yoga. Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines
which originated in ancient India. Yoga uses breathing techniques, exercise and
meditation. It helps to improve health and happiness. While some deem yoga as just

another fad and associate it with new age mysticism, others vouch for how amazing this
form of exercise feels.
(Where you did it and who you did it with)
We took up yoga a year ago and have been practicing it together in the sports center since
then. The yoga club in this center is in the vicinity of my neighborhood, so my friends
usually gather at my house before coming there. At that time, after completing our first
year in university, we all felt exhausted because of the demanding workload and
continuous exams. Most of us could not do physical activities on a frequent basis. I
had to endure a lot of bodily discomforts, such as intense backaches and headaches.
Then we decided to do something less exhausting than hitting the gym and eventually
enrolled in a yoga club.
(And explain why you think it was enjoyable)
Well, doing something beneficial with your close friends is such a rewarding
experience. Yoga as a practice has countless benefits that positively affect you both
physically and mentally. When you practice yoga regularly, the blood circulation in the
body is enhanced. After adopting yoga for a month, we all felt more invigorated and
flexible. Yoga relaxes our mind so completely to work on unnecessary tensions, thus
facilitating better sleep. Most importantly, doing this together gives us a tremendous
incentive to maintain this good habit in the long term.

PART 3: GROUP ACTIVITIES

teamwork in one way or another. (Give an example (often a personal example)) The
field of market research is one example. As a market researcher, you’d get to work in
teams with sales, marketing, and product design to analyze large data pools for studies
and to drive business initiatives in a variety of industries including pharmaceuticals,
software, and consumer products. Besides, working in information technology also
involves working with clients or other teams within the organization or business.
31. What can parents do with their children to make them happy?
(Give a direct answer to the question) Well, parents should be a companion for their
kids. (Explain your reason or reasons) No matter how busy they are, the most important
thing is to build a strong relationship with kids, as this would increase the sense of
togetherness. Most importantly, showing love in a proper way is also crucial. Showing
love and affection decreases the likelihood of psychological and behavioral problems
and makes the child more resilient to stress.
32. How can children improve their social skills?
(Give a direct answer to the question) Firstly, children should be taught how to be
assertive when they talk to people. Besides, empathy is another important basic of
social skills. (Explain your reason or reasons) If children have a better understanding
of how others feel, they are much more likely to feel connected to other people and form
positive bonds.
33. What are the benefits of boys and girls playing together?
(Give a direct answer to the question) There are a lot of compelling benefits when boys
and girls play together (Explain your reason or reasons) First, this can help kids work
together more effectively later in life. They learn coping skills from being exposed to
and compromising with others who play differently. Besides, if there's no separation

associated with.

Describe a historical period you would like to know more
You should say:
When it was
What you are interested in
What you already knew
And explain why you would like to know more
This is such a tough question because our country, Vietnam, is rich in history with
resounding victories and well-known historical events…but to single out a particular
period to learn more about it, I would choose the Air Battle of Dien Bien Phu.
(When it was) To the best of my knowledge, this battle took place in December of
1972. 51 years have passed but the echo of ‘Dien Bien Phu in the air” victory still
resonates from generation to generation, illustrating national strength and representing
every Vietnamese’s pride.

(What you are interested in) Since secondary school, I was taught about this event
during my History lessons. At home, I often watch documentaries to have a deeper
understanding of this unexpected victory. Back in the day, the world believed that the
US would win because it was such an asymmetric confrontation with the superiority
of the US’s air force and modern technology. However, contrary to all expectations,
our military won the battle, successfully preserving our independence and keeping the
peace.
(What you knew) Through some online articles and books, I have read the biography
of some heroic and intelligent soldiers who sacrificed their lives to shoot down the B-
52 bomber which was considered the most advanced weapon at that time to save the
lives of innocent civilians in Ha Noi. I’m so grateful for their supreme sacrifice in
saving our nation.
(And explain why you would like to know more) But that’s not enough! I wish I had
more opportunities to visit some museums or buy some books to learn more about the
tactics and strategies that our military applied to achieve such a resounding victory.
1. asymmetric (adj): bất cân xứng
Some of the rugs have regular geometric designs and others are decorated with
asymmetric shapes. (Một vài tấm thảm được thiết kế thành hình học thông thường
còn vài cái khác đựơc trang trí bởi những hình bất đối xứng.)
2. confrontation (n): sự đối đầu
Some couples seem to like confrontation, but Josh and I hardly ever argue. (Một vài
cặp đôi hay đối đầu, cãi nhau nhưng Josh với tôi ít khi cãi lộn)
3. superiority (n): lợi thế

The Australian team soon demonstrated their superiority over the opposition. (Đội
Úc nhanh thể hiện lợi thế áp đảo đối phương)
4. biography (n): tiểu sử
He wrote a biography of Winston Churchill. (Ông ấy viết tiểu sử của Winston

Churchill)
5. resounding (adj): vang dội
The remake of the movie was a resounding success (Sự tái bản của bộ phim này là
một thành công vang dội)
Part 3
1. Should everyone know history?
Absolutely, there’s no doubt that history plays a pivotal role for every nation and its
citizens. Through history, we can learn how past societies, systems, cultures, and
technologies were built, how they operated, and how they have changed. The rich
history of the world helps us to paint a detailed picture of where we stand today.
Moreover, the more we understand the history of our own country, the deeper the
gratitude we feel towards our previous generations.
2. In what ways can children learn history?
In the national curriculum, children are taught about historical figures and events quite
early but most of the lessons are quite dry and boring. Besides, students can read
books on history or watch movies, and documentaries to have a deeper understanding
of national history, hence promoting patriotism. In addition to that, parents should

spend time taking their children to some museums to explore history with them and
help them broaden their knowledge.
3. Is it hard to protect historical buildings?
Yes. Since historical buildings have stood the test of time for centuries plus the
ravages of wars, they are quite vulnerable. Preserving and maintaining these buildings
usually takes a lot of time, effort and budget. A country should invest a funds in
restoring these relics, hiring skilled masons and experts and accepting the risks
involved in the protection process. Besides, some historical buildings now serve the
purpose of a museum for visitors to come and learn about history. The authorities also
need to ensure such a huge influx of visitors doesn’t harm the structure of the building.
1. stand the test of time (idiom): trải qua sự thử thách của thời gian
many of her recipes have stood the test of time (Vài công thức nấu ăn của cô ấy mãi
trường tồn cùng thời gian)
2. ravages (n): sự tàn phá
The ravages of war reach my conscience.(Cảnh tàn phá của chiến tranh thấu đến lương
tâm tôi.)
3. mason (n): thợ xây
He does his job as a mason. (Ông làm thợ nề.)
4. How do museums teach people history?
Visiting museums could give people first-hand experience of learning more about
history because they could observe some historical artefacts and antiques, listen to the
stories of the guide and gain a deeper insight into the history. For example, when

visiting a War Museum, people, especially the young generation could get an
opportunity to access the belongings, hats or weapons of some martyrs and then they
would understand how brutal war is and recognise the need to preserve national peace.
Besides, with the advancement of technology, most museums nowadays apply
technology to better visitors’ experience. People could visit a 3D Museum, watch
movies or use their smartphones to discover the story behind each artefact.
1. first-hand experience (collocation): trải nghiệm tận mắt
Most of us have firsthand experience of teaching. (Hầu hết chúng tôi được trải
nghiệm tận mắt việc dạy học)
2. artefacts (n): cổ vật
The museum's collection includes artefacts dating back to prehistoric times. (Bộ sưu
tập của bảo tàng bao gồm các cổ vật từ thời tiền sử)
3. martyr (n) liệt sĩ
5. Will museums be replaced by technology someday?
Museums will not be substituted by technology in the future because they play an
integral role in defining and preserving a country’s culture and tradition. Although
most of the artefacts have pictures taken of them and posted on the internet with
detailed stories behind them, visiting museums and beholding the objects give people a
sense of patriotism and solidarity, as well as arouse their love for history. In
addition, because museums often promote the development of tourism by attracting
tourists, this does not only introduce a country’s rich history to international friends
but also generates a stream of revenue for the government.

1. patriotism (n): lòng yêu nước
Vietnamese people are well - known about patriotism.(Dân tộc Việt Nam được
nhiều người biết đến về lòng yêu nước.)
2. solidarity (n): tinh thần đoàn kết
They are promoting international solidarity.(Họ đang thúc đẩy tình đoàn kết quốc
tế.)
3. arouse (v): đánh thức (cảm xúc,..)
It's a controversial plan that is sure to arouse strong opposition. (Đó là một kế
hoạch gây tranh cãi, chắc chắn khơi dậy sự phản đối mạnh mẽ.)
4. stream of revenue (collo): dòng lợi nhuận
We have been successful in developing a whole stream of revenue from non-core

businesses. (Chúng tôi đã thành công trong việc tạo ra các dòng lợi nhuận từ các
doanh nghiệp không cốt lõi
Describe a place you visited that has been affected by air pollution (or not clean)
You should say:
Where it is
When you visited this place
What kinds of pollution you saw there

And explain how this place was affected
(Where it is) I would say I’m a big fan of traveling, which is the reason why I have
visited a lot of places up till now. So, I’m going to tell you about a trip to a small
village in Hue city, which left me a lot of depressing thoughts and emotions after
visiting it.
Well, to kick off, the village’s location is about 40 kms away from the city centre and
used to be one of the most famous beauty spots for its serene beauty, but things are
changing for the worse.
(When you visited this place) My friends and I made a decision to escape from the
hustle and bustle of the city right after we finished our examinations, as we all felt
exhausted. Moreover, there had been a lot of hypes around this place, as it has
almost everything: tranquil scenery, fresh air, accommodating locals and tasty food.
This seemed perfect for a peaceful retreat.
(What kinds of pollution) However, when we arrived, we were literally shocked at

how severely polluted the village was. The water and the air were affected negatively.
The river winding through the village was covered with black and greasy chemical
substances, which gave off a revolting smell. Even worse, the atmosphere in this
village was savaged by exhaust fumes coming from all kinds of stuff: domestic and
factory chimneys, dilapidated vehicles, and trash burning sites.
(How this place was affected) The distressing thing is that due to industrialization
and people’s ignorance, it seemed that any attempt to preserve the situation would be
an uphill struggle. But I look forward to seeing this place changing for the better
when I come back to this site again.

1. To change for the worse/ the better: thay đổi theo chiều hướng tiêu cực/ tích cực

10. Uphill struggle (n): vấn đề gian nan
Part 3:
1. How much air pollution in your country?
-> Air pollution is an alarming concern in Vietnam nowadays, especially in big cities
like Ho Chi Minh or Ha Noi capital. This is the consequence of overpopulation in
metropolises and exhaust fumes from factories and vehicles. And air pollution
severely affects people’s health, which leads to some diseases such as lung cancer or
respiratory disorders. However, some people aren’t even aware of this problem and

don’t pay too much attention to it. As a result, the issue is becoming more and more
severe.
2. Different about pollution in countryside and city? Why?
-> There are some contrasts between pollution in the countryside and in the big cities.
While in the countryside, the air is fresher, the food is cleaner, and everything seems
perfect for a nice retreat, the cities tend to be crowded with people, lots of fumes from
transportation and factories. However, no matter how polluted the urban area is, people
always choose to move to big cities for job opportunities and have better facilities. I
could say both urban and rural areas have their own pros and cons, and pollution is one
of the main dividing points between these two places.
3. How can the government encourage people to keep their city clean?
-> Well, there are several solutions that the government could adopt to increase
people’s awareness. First of all, they could organize some campaigns online and
offline to help people be more focused on environmental problems. For example, they
could hold some competitions or cleaning days that people have to join and try their
best to win. And if they win, they get incentives. Moreover, the government can
produce some documentaries about the current environmental issues on television so
as to help them recognise the alarming concern.
Vocabulary:
1. An alarming concern (n): mối quan ngại báo động

2. Overpopulation (n): gia tăng dân số
Ex: And what had caused the overpopulation?: lí do nào gây ra sự gia tăng dân số

người có động lực để làm việc cật lực hơn

explore all the different pockets of the city and learn about the people who call it
home, we have to re-visit it more. There's just something about the energy and vibe of

1. Do people prefer planned travel?

Well, I think it depends on the individual's preference and the purpose of their travel.
Some people prefer planned travel because it gives them a clear itinerary and they
feel more organized and in control of their trip. On the other hand, some people prefer
spontaneous travel as they feel it brings more excitement and a sense of adventure.
For instance, some people may prefer a package tour where everything is pre-arranged
such as accommodation, transportation, and activities, while others may prefer
backpacking and making spontaneous decisions about where to go and what to do.
Ultimately, I will say it's a matter of personal preference and travel style.
2. Why do places with historical attractions develop tourism more aggressively?
Historical attractions provide insight into a place's culture, heritage, and identity,
which can be a major tourist attraction. So, in my view, when a place has historical
significance, it creates a unique selling point for that destination. By investing in the
development of tourism around their historical attractions, places can generate
economic benefits and create jobs in the tourism industry. For instance, the Angkor
Wat temple complex in Cambodia is a major historical attraction that draws millions
of tourists each year, and the revenue generated from tourism helps to fund the
conservation of the site and supports the local community.
3. Why do you think people usually travel?
Well, there are various reasons why people travel. Some travel for leisure and
relaxation, to escape the monotony of their daily lives, and to experience new cultures

and cuisines. Others may travel for business, education, or personal growth. For
instance, a businessperson may travel to attend a conference or meeting, while a
student may travel to study abroad to gain new experiences and skills. And, I also
think that some people travel to visit friends and family who live far away.
4. Why does living in tourist cities experience more noise?
One of the transparent reasons is that tourist cities usually attract a high volume of
visitors, which means more people, more vehicles, and more noise. Additionally, the
tourism industry itself generates noise, such as music from bars and restaurants, and
noise from tour buses and other transportation services. Living in a tourist city can be
challenging for residents who are not accustomed to the noise levels. For example,
cities like Las Vegas and New York City are major tourist destinations, and the
constant noise can be overwhelming for residents who live there. However, some
people may be willing to tolerate the noise in exchange for the economic benefits and
cultural vibrancy that tourism brings to the city.

Describe the first day you went to school that you remember?
You should say
* When it happened
The first day at school or college can be nerve-racking, especially when you are not
acquainted with anyone who is already there. Such experiences often leave a lasting
impression on a person. Although I don’t have a definitive memory of my first day at
college, I can recollect my first day at high school like it was yesterday.
* Where the school is
The name of my school was Bac Lieu Gifted High School and it is located in the
center of Bac Lieu City.
* How you felt about the experience
It is engraved in my mind quite well in that I felt the mix of excitement and anxiety
that day. On the one hand, I was like on cloud nine as it had always been my dream to
study English in a specialized environment. On the other hand, my head was
engrossed by fear and nervousness as I was not familiar with a single person in this
new place. I remember sitting on the first bench, being at a loss to find my class.
However, a kind teacher named Hanh who was on the way to the morning assembly
noticed my state and tried to console me. She then held my hand on the way to the
assembly spot, and I remember feeling a little bit lighter as my classes started after the
morning assembly.
* And explain why you still remember the experience

There are certain reasons why this first day had a long-standing impression on me.
First off, it marked an important transition for me from a village schoolboy to a gifted
pupil. There is nothing that can make me more proud of myself than that event as it is
so meaningful and even life-changing. Furthermore, it is also the first time I met my
dear teacher, Mrs. Hanh, who not only helped me that day but also taught me for the
whole 3 years. Therefore, even though there have been many significant events in my
life, I can never forget the first day I entered Bac Lieu Gifted High school.
Vocabulary
1. Nerve-cracking (adjective): căng não
Example
The job of a theatre actor can be quite nerve-cracking.
Công việc của một diễn viên nhà hát có thể khá căng não.
2. Be engraved in one’s mind (idiom): khắc sâu trong tâm trí
Example
That last conversation we had is engraved on my mind forever.
Cuộc trò chuyện cuối cùng giữa chúng tôi đã khắc sâu trong tâm trí tôi mãi mãi.
3. Engrossed (adjective): bị thu hút, bị xâm chiếm
Example
She was so engrossed by the book that she forgot the cookies in the oven.
Cô ấy quá tập trung vào cuốn sách đến nỗi quên đi những chiếc bánh quy trong lò
nướng.

4. At a loss (idiom): không biết
Example
I’m at a loss to explain what happened.
Tôi không biết giải thích chuyện đã xảy ra như thế nào.
Part 3
1. What are the reasons for job change?
In my opinion, there are many causes of job-hopping. Firstly, young people are still
seeking out their passions. As many are unclear about their career path, they try out
jobs to discover what they would enjoy pursuing professionally. The other key reason
is young people want to be equipped with a diverse skill set. As a result, in the future
when a new job is offered to them, they will be better prepared and easily keep up
with the work assigned to them.
2. Are big companies better than small companies? Why?
From my viewpoint, the answer would be a yes because of these benefits. To begin
with, large companies can offer their employees more merits because they have more
resources such as high salaries and bonuses. Furthermore, while small companies can
find themselves on the wrong side of the economy, large enterprises tend to be stable.
The odds are pretty good that your position won’t suddenly disappear one morning.
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages coming along with changing jobs?
Admittedly, the rise of job-hopping in recent days can offer both pros and cons. On the
positive side, changing positions often comes with a salary increase as part of a
contract. Besides, it can grant you opportunities to learn new skills, gain practical
experience and expand your responsibilities. On the other hand, if you change jobs

every time you encounter a problem, you may miss opportunities to learn how to
handle challenges skillfully. Needless to say, job hopping can also cost you benefits
such as insurance or retirement income.
4. What would parents prepare for their kids when they first go to school?
There is no doubt to say that the first day at school can leave a great impression on a
child’s mind. Therefore, parents always try their best to prepare their children both
physically and mentally for this important event. Firstly when it comes to necessary
items, a schoolbag containing textbooks, rulers, pencils and an eraser cannot be
forgotten. Then, for mental preparation, parents will instruct their children how to stay
independent and behave properly away from their home comforts.
5. How do children socialise with each other?
I am of the opinion that this will depend on what kind of children we are talking about.
I mean, to those with a sociable personality, they can easily form or join a group to
play together. On the other hand, it will take shy children a little more time
befriending with others, at least until after some days of talking. Neverthelesss,
socialising is not very difficult for children as they play and engage with each other
innocently without any intention.
6. Is socialisation important for children?
Of course, it is vital for children to socialize with other people for several reasons.
Firstly, socialisation helps children to form their personality as the surrounding
environment plays a crucial role in deciding what kind of person they will become in
future life. Furthermore, being able to socialize with others at a young age is a step for
children to build confidence, which is a decisive factor in determining a person’s
success. In fact, a confident child is believed to perform more outstandingly than a shy
one.

1. Job hopping (noun): nhảy việc
Example:
Many graduates view job hopping as a quick way to develop their career at the start.
Nhiều sinh viên mới tốt nghiệp xem nhảy việc là một cách nhanh chóng để phát triển
sự nghiệp lúc sơ khởi.
2. Keep up with (phrase): bắt kịp
Example
Wages are failing to keep up with inflation.
Lương đang không thể bắt kịp với lạm phát.
3. Needless to say (idiom): không cần phải nói
Example
Needless to say, he'll be off work for a while.
Không cần phải nói, anh ấy sẽ nghỉ việc trong một thời gian.
4. Befriend with (v): kết bạn với ai đó.
Example:

Không lâu sau khi đến trường mới, tôi đã kết bạn được với tất cả các bạn cùng lớp.
