I went for a walk that night because I was quite stressed out căng thẳng . Walking helps calm me down giúp tôi bình tĩnh lại . Also Cùng với đó , I wanted to go to the new park. The

I want to take this car trip from Hanoi (my home town) to Halong Bay which is a 170-kilometer journey. Now, I must say that I have never taken such a long car trip before, so it is
going to become challenging thách thức as well as thrilling ly kỳ .

Of course, I wouldn't take that car trip alone since traveling alone is no fun. So, I would

Anyway, before I hit the road, I am planning to buy a road map so that I know what my itineraries hành trình are exactly going to be. By the way, I would take the Haiphong
Expressway for my car trip as it would cut the drive from Hanoi to Halong Bay from four hours to little more than two. Of course, I would need to pay some toll money lệ phí cầu

I think they keep fit and healthy in different ways . It’s common for children to play games with each other, so they might run around or play sports. This allows them to keep fit without even
trying. Old people, on the other hand, do not play with their friends . So, they have to put a more conscious effort into exercise . It’s common to see old people go swimming or go running. They are
very slow , but these activities are still beneficial for their health.
People do a large mix of different sports and exercises to keep fit and healthy in my country. A common sport people play is football. This is especially popular amongst the younger generation,
like teenagers . It’s a good exercise because it’s fun, so even people who don’t like exercise find it enjoyable. A lot of people also go swimming, although this is less common due to the lack of
availability of pools . However, if you have a swimming pool in your local area, it’s great to utilise it because swimming is a fantastic all-round exercise.
Well, I think parents can do a lot of things . First of all, parents can encourage their kids to join3a sports club. For example, my dad motivated me to join a football team when I was younger which was
really beneficial for my health. Parents can also take their kids on days out. Kids these days spend 2 more time inside on their phones than they do outside, so parents can force them to put their phone
away and go on an outdoor excursion, like a hike or a long walk. My parents also did this with me and I’m very thankful for them!
I think so, yes. It’s also good to have someone to look up to so you can aspire to be like them. For example, the government may use a sports celebrity to encourage the public to work out. The sports
celebrity works as a great example for the public to work towards . However, it needs to be the right person. An idol who is too arrogant or unpleasant could have the opposite effect, meaning that
people do not want to follow in their footsteps.

the one during my senior year in high school which was delivered giảng dạy by Ms. Alex – our substitute thay thế teacher who was incredibly inspiring truyền cảm
hứng and humorous hài hước .
Since our main teacher was on holiday leave, Ms. Alex attended our class for only one day but it was enough for her to leave a profound sâu sắc impression on us. She was
younger than other teachers , but definitely wasn't less experienced. Though she hadn't been teaching for more than a few years, her confidence and wide breadth bề dày (ví dụ: bề
dày kiến thức, bề dày kinh nghiệm,..) of knowledge blew our mind làm ấn tượng . We didn't have a new lesson on that day but a revision ôn tập instead; therefore, Ms. Alex had
prepared lots of interesting activities for us, which created a cheerful vui vẻ and energetic đầy năng lượng atmosphere within the classroom. We were able to participate in many
games such as charades câu đố and bingos, revising old vocab and grammar as well as learning new things through her stories. She didn't do all the speaking but encouraged us
to voice nói, đưa ra our ideas and thinking, which made most of us feel uncomfortable at first since that was not how we were used to. However, in the end, everyone actively một

Every school enacts ban hành hundreds of rules to discipline the students and my school was not an exception. Though most rules were defined định rõ to benefit us in some way
yet I found one rule extremely unfair không công bằng and that was of no half-day nửa ngày and no color dress on Saturday.
The fact is that in almost every school in my city Saturday is always a half-day at school and students wait for this day very eagerly háo hức as they get released from school
around 12 instead of 3 pm. But, It was not the case at my school. We had to attend school on Saturday too.
On top of it, there was an additional bổ sung fine hình phạt for not attending the school on Saturday as teachers used to take surprise làm bất ngờ on this day. As a result, I could
never go out on a weekend break with my family. In addition, we had to wear school uniforms all 6 days of the week. Where other school children could wear clothes of their choice
on this day we again had to wear uniform only which always gave them a reason to laugh at us and annoy us. I was in uniform all the time and for that reason my parents rarely got
me new clothes.
I can never forget that sometimes, after school on Saturdays, my parents used to pick me up to watch movies in the cinema and I used to be the only person at the cinema in
uniform which used to be quite embarrassing but for movies I could manage that.
Overall, like most other students I was not happy at all with this rule at my school.

my instructor người hướng dẫn motivated thúc đẩy me to boost my confidence nâng cao sự tự tin .
Once I got on the highway đường cao tốc , frankly speaking, every time a truck was coming from the other side, I was getting off the road in fear. This time my trainer got a little
angry with me and said, you must keep your courage giữ vững can đảm if you want to learn this skill.
Slowly and steadily một cách vững vàng , I got more and more comfortable with driving on the road in different conditions điều kiện . I was feeling like I had learnt to drive but then
the most challenging thử thách part came which was to drive in the city center, the area with heavy traffic. I got goosebumps nổi da gà driving in this busy area. The car was hardly
moving because of traffic, and my engine động cơ was going off again and again, but I kept the courage this time. Though I had a minor nho nhỏ accident with an auto-

The reason why lý do tại sao I use YouTube so frequently thường xuyên is that it offers a wide variety of nhiều loại, đa dạng content. I can find videos on almost any topic that interests me, from cooking to sports
to educational giáo dục content. I particularly đặc biệt enjoy watching music videos and live performances biểu diễn trực tiếp of my favorite artists, as well as tutorials hướng dẫn on how to play musical instruments nhạc
cụ .

history lịch sử xem . This has helped me discover phát hiện new content and channels kênh that I might not have found otherwise bằng cách khác .

channels that I like. This allows me to interact tương tác with others who share my interests and to learn from their experiences.

Firstly trước hết , I find the touchpad bàn di chuột difficult to control điều khiển . It's overly sensitive nhạy cảm and often moves the cursor con trỏ around the screen when I don't want it to. This can be frustrating gây
khó chịu , especially when I'm trying to select text or move files around.
Secondly thứ hai , I struggle with the laptop's battery life tuổi thọ pin . It doesn't hold a charge sử dụng pin for very long, which means I'm constantly liên tục having to plug it in cắm sạc and charge it up sạc điện . This
can be inconvenient bất tiện when I'm working in a place where there are no power outlets ổ cắm available có sẵn .
Lastly cuối cùng , I find the laptop's operating system hệ điều hành confusing khó dùng . It's an older version of Windows , and some of the menus and options are not intuitive dễ sử dụng to me. For example ví dụ , I often
struggle to find the right settings to adjust điều chỉnh the volume or screen brightness độ sáng màn hình .
Despite these difficulties bất chấp những khó khăn này , I still use my laptop on a regular basis một cách thường xuyên . It's an important tool for my work, and I've learned to work around khắc phục tạm
thời its limitations hạn chế, nhược điểm . For example, I often use an external mouse chuột bên ngoài instead of the touchpad, and I try to conserve tiết kiệm the battery life by using low-power modes chế độ năng lượng
thấp when I'm not using the laptop actively.

3. Basic description: What do they do with the old one after buying a new one?
4. Basic description: How hard is it for parents to convince their children not to buy an expensive phone?
I think it's quite natural. We live in a world that functions hoạt động / thực hiện chức năng and centers xoay xung quanh around technology nowadays and having the latest mới nhất, tân tiến nhất device allows you to make
the most of the advances tiến bộ and developments in the market. It's the same as older people who like to have the latest model of car or a new apartment. People like to have the best or the latest version of things. It's not
just teenagers.
One reason could be that một lý do có thể là each new version normally has more functions or features tính năng than the older one and allows the user to do more or access truy cập more things. Some people also believe
that the newest version of something is always the better.
Many of my friends give their old devices to their younger brothers or sisters or to another family member. I have one friend who is a real technology freak kỳ quặc and he always finds a way to use the old device for
something else, another project or purpose.

more detailed chi tiết , as they are often used for business việc kinh doanh or professional chuyên nghiệp communication giao tiếp . Text messages, on the other hand mặt khác , are typically shorter and more to the

An invention is deemed được coi là useful when it fulfills a practical thực tế need or solves a problem efficiently. Its utility tính thiết thực lies in improving people's lives, increasing efficiency, or addressing specific
challenges. A useful invention often enhances convenience, safety, or productivity, making it valuable to society. The key is its ability to address real-world problems effectively and offer tangible hữu hình benefits
to individuals or communities.
I would like to see advancements in clean and sustainable bền vững energy sources nguồn năng lượng , such as affordable and efficient solar power năng lượng mặt trời technology. Furthermore, innovations in healthcare,
like personalized Cá nhân hóa medicine and non-invasive không xâm lấn treatments , would greatly benefit society. Lastly, I hope for Tôi hy vọng developments in transportation, like widespread phổ biến rộng

Common home inventions include appliances thiết bị like refrigerators, washing machines, and microwaves. Additionally, smart devices such as thermostats Bộ điều nhiệt , voice assistants Trợ lý giọng nói , and security
cameras are becoming increasingly popular. These inventions enhance convenience, efficiency, and comfort in daily life, reflecting advances in technology and the desire for a connected and automated home environment.
Some inventions can contribute to laziness if used excessively or inappropriately. For example, over-reliance sự phụ thuộc quá mức on automation may reduce physical activity. However, it largely depends on
how individuals choose to use these inventions . When used wisely, inventions can enhance productivity and convenience, but misuse lạm dụng or excessive dependence can lead to laziness and reduced motivation for
physical or mental effort.
In modern classrooms , electronic and electrical equipment is essential. Common examples include projectors máy chiếu for visual presentations Trình bày trực quan , computers for research and assignments , interactive

4. Opinion: Do you think AI will replace human teachers? Why?
I think the most useful invention in the household hộ gia đình is the refrigerator tủ lạnh . Before its invention sự phát minh , it was very difficult to rất khó để store food. It was also very dangerous. If you ate food that had
harmful bacteria on it, you could have died. This is why diseases bệnh tật were so common in the past. The refrigerator makes it easier and safer to store food because they slow down chậm lại bacterial growth sự phát

I think the microwave makes us lazy. This is because it can cook things very quickly that used to đã từng take a long time mất nhiều thời gian . Now, you can buy ‘microwavable meals’. These are quick and convenient tiện
lợi , but they’re also incredibly unhealthy cực kì không lành mạnh . These meals make us lazy because they don’t require any effort cố gắng . Many people these days don’t know how to cook for themselves because they
depend on these meals .
What comes to mind Những gì đến với tâm trí is the digital calculator máy tính kỹ thuật số . I used this a lot at school, especially in maths class. This is because it can calculate large sums tổng very quickly without the need
for manual work công việc thủ công . Before the invention of the calculator, mathematicians used to spend hours and hours working out their calculations. Now, it’s incredibly easy cực kỳ dễ dàng . But I don’t think it makes
us lazy or more stupid, because you still need mathematical knowledge to know how to use it.
I don’t think so, no Tôi không nghĩ như vậy, không . I think AI contains chứa a lot of knowledge which it can deliver very quickly and efficiently, but they have no human qualities phẩm chất của con người which are
crucial for being a teacher. Qualities like empathy sự đồng cảm , confidence and friendliness encourage students to learn. With AI, students will not feel motivated in the same way. This could have a negative impact tác

UNIT 7. HOBBIES
Part 1.
1) What are your hobbies?
2) What is your favourite musical instrument? 5
3) Do you prefer action films or comedies? Why? 6
4) Do you think it is important to read novels and poetry? Why?
Part 2.
1) Describe a hobby you enjoy!
You should say:
 How long you have been doing it.
 How often you do it.
 What benefits you get from it.
And explain why you enjoy it.
As a young girl in her early twenties, I must say that I have a plethora of hobbies. The list of my own hobbies is endless, I think it even gets to a point where I am struggling to choose one to describe to
you today. However, considering what springs to my mind at the moment, I would describe traveling, as it is one of my priorities when I have enough free time, and a sufficient amount of money, of
course. To be honest, I have been travelling for 8 years, maybe more than that, since I was a secondary student. At that time, I dreamed of becoming a tour guide, so It urged me to go everywhere to
discover and pursue my dream.
I guess that I was born a travel lover cuz I have an enormous passion for travelling, and I have a particular interest in coastal cities. This can be explained by the fact that I was born and raised in Hai
Phong city, and I have developed an affection for the beach, the mountain in general, since then. Therefore, every months or everytime when holiday comes, a brand-new coastal city is something I
would always go for. I always spend 2-3 days visiting places where I really like.
The thing I love most about traveling is that it offers us an escape from office deadlines, work-related stress and any kind of pressure we are being put under. Being close to the ocean, particularly, gives
me a sense of comfort and refreshment that nothing else can offer. When we travel, we are able to immerse ourselves in different cultures and costumes, which is an extremely valuable experience for
the young like me.
Moreover, there is also plenty of time for self-reflection during traveling. I feel that our mind would spend time wandering, freely and comfortably thanks to it. I can understand myself better, think more
thoroughly about what is happening around me and learn to appreciate what I am having at the moment.
Overall, traveling indeed brings us a lot of benefits, and I think my life would be so tedious without it.

2. Are you still in touch with your childhood friends?
3. What was your favorite toy when you were a child?
4. Is it important for children to have fun and why?
Part 2:
1. Describe a happy childhood memory
you should say:
when and where the incident you remember happened
who you were with
what happened exactly
and explain why it is a happy memory.
Part 3:
Childhood
1. Do you think people often idealize their childhoods?
Yes, it is common for people to idealize their childhoods. Childhood is often seen as a time of innocence, joy, and carefree living. As we grow older and face the
challenges and responsibilities of adulthood, we may look back on our childhood with nostalgia and longing for simpler times. I don’t think it does any harm to
idealize a bit if it makes us happy to remember things in a more positive way.
2. How does a person's childhood influence what kind of adult they become? 5
8
Well, it probably influences them in many ways, some of which are subtle and some obvious. For one example, if you have a happy, healthy childhood, you are
probably more likely to become a well-adjusted adult. However, if you were subjected to bullying and abuse, you may replicate that behaviour when you grow up.
3. When does a giant become an adult in the view?
I don’t really think there is, or should be, a definite answer to this question. I mean, of course, people are generally recognized by the law as adults when they turn
18, but, in my opinion, I think growing into adulthood is more obscure and inexact process. Some people mature very early and others very late, and there is
probably no point at which any person could be said to have switched from childhood to adulthood.
Upbringing
1. Do you agree with the saying cheering should be seen and not heard?
2. Is this good for children to be exposed to frightening and sad experiences or should they be protected from these as far as possible?
I don’t think they should experience too many sad or terrifying experiences, if it can be helped. Nevertheless, what is very useful for
teaching children about these darker sides of life without scarring them is stories. In stories they can learn about evil and the dangers in the
world around them, but in a controlled way where the ‘baddies’ are punished and everyone ends up happy. This gives them a focus for the
fears that all children have but it is a fictional one so doesn’t upset their peace of mind.
3. Are children in the country generally well brought up?
In my opinion, I would say that children in my country are well brought up when the economy develop significantly, and teaching method is more advanced than
before. Children have a variety of opportunities to expose to good education, modern technologies, and they are supported by their family not only mental health
but also physical health. Parents nowadays, for example, have a tendency to teach their children comprehensively and willing to encourage every children’s
dreams.

3. How could your town or city be improved?
4. Are there any traffic problems where you live?
Part 2:
1. Describe a place that you enjoy visiting.
you should say:
where the place is
what you can see and do there
How has changed since you first visited it?
and explain why you enjoy visiting this place.
Part 3:
Home
1. Is it only children who experience homesickness?
 Homesickness is a normal feeling. It is a strong longing for the comforts of home or a person associated with home.
 Younger children are the most prone to feeling homesick, as well as children who have never been away from home.
They cannot appreciate the cultural insights of a new place or the time off work. However, not only children but also many adults experience homesickness like
culture shock when they visit a new place,’. We find a place unfamiliar and even slightly disturbing and this is because it is different to what we are used to. So, in a
sense, we miss our familiar surroundings and are indeed homesick.
2. Do you think it's better for children to grow up in the city or country?
I reckon the perfect solution is to live in the countryside close to a major cultural centre, by which I mean a big city. This means that the child can enjoy all the
pleasures of country life – the farm animals. the fresh air. the relative safety – whilst at the same time not being too far from all the fun that can be had in the city –
musicals. kids’ museums. zoos. Kids need to be exposed to a wide range of situations and settings instead of choosing the one.
3. Why do some people retire to the countryside?

I suppose they crave the peace and quiet after a lifetime of hard work in the hustle and bustle of the city. In fact, the countryside offers people serenity life, cheaper
cost of living, proximity to nature and more space, so they can enjoy the remains of life. That’s the reason why country live is the most ideal option and described
as a paradise.
Patriotism
1. Are people from the country patriotric?
On the whole, I would say yes they are. I think most people in the world are patriotic. You can see this at the Olympics where thousands of people go to support
their countries’ sportspeople and millions if not billions more watch from the comfort of their own homes. In my country, whenevever national football team win an
International award, the citizens are always wiiling to flock into the streets to cheer our victory. It’s a very powerful force, patriotism, and has been responsible for
much good and bad. 6
0
That’s the reason why country life is the most ideal
option. It’s quiet, silent,
and described as a paradise.
2. Why do people often feel proud of where they come from?
People feel the need to belong, to a club, to a family, to a group of friends, to a region, and to a country. Where you come from is tied up with so many
other things that it says an awful lot about you, and so is of the utmost importance in defining who you are. For example, it affects what you eat or wear,
what language you speak, and how you behave towards others. Being proud of where you are from is therefore an extension of being proud of who you
are.
3. Does intense patriotism have any disadvantages?

Oh, undoubtedly. The flipside of patriotism is xenophobia, people disliking others who are from another country and associating all kinds of negative
characteristics with them. People are likely to believe that everyone from ‘that country over there’ is mean, rude, dirty et cetera. It’s quite frightening,
really, because it could be argued that xenophobia has made it easier for governments to justify going to war with other nations over the centuries.
