SAMPLE 1
I have always been fascinated by the ancient Egyptian civilization and

would love to know more about the period of the New Kingdom, which
lasted from around 1550 BC to 1070 BC. This was a time of great
prosperity and power for Egypt, when it established itself as a major
military and cultural force in the region.
One of the things that interests me about this period is the reign of
pharaohs such as Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun, who went down in
history and are still famous today for their achievements and the
treasures they left behind. I would love to learn more about their lives
and the political and social climate of the time.
Another aspect of the New Kingdom that fascinates me is the religion

and mythology of ancient Egypt, which was an integral part of daily life. I
would like to dig up the temples and tombs of the pharaohs and learn
more about the gods and goddesses worshiped by the ancient
Egyptians.
I think that studying the New Kingdom would also give me a deeper
understanding of the development of human civilization and the ways in
which ancient cultures shaped the world we live in today. Overall, I
believe that exploring this historical period would be a fascinating and
enriching experience that would broaden my knowledge and perspective
on the world.

One historical period in Vietnam that has always captured my interest is

the French colonial era, which lasted from the mid-19th century until the
mid-20th century. This period holds a significant place in Vietnam's
history, marking a time of immense change, struggle, and eventual
triumph.

14
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
During this time, Vietnam underwent profound transformations in various

aspects of its society. The French introduced Western education,
architecture, and culture, leaving a lasting impact on Vietnam's urban
landscape and intellectual life. At the same time, they exploited the
country's resources, leading to economic hardships for many
Vietnamese.
The resistance against French colonial rule also emerged as a defining

feature of this period. Figures like Phan Boi Chau and Ho Chi Minh
started advocating for Vietnamese independence, planting the seeds of
the future struggle for freedom. The famous Dien Bien Phu battle in 1954
marked a turning point, leading to the end of French colonial rule in
Vietnam.
This period is not only a testament to Vietnam's resilience but also a

reminder of the importance of national identity and determination. It
paved the way for the eventual reunification of North and South Vietnam
and the birth of the modern Vietnamese state.

I remember a time when I received a significant amount of money as a

value attached to it. My grandmother gave it to me on my 18th birthday,
and it has been passed down through generations of women in my
family. It is a symbol of love and connection that transcends time and
distance.
Although the bracelet is not particularly expensive or flashy, it is a

priceless object to me. It represents the enduring bond between me and
my family, and it serves as a reminder of the love and support that I have
received throughout my life.
In conclusion, the bracelet is a beautiful object that is not only

aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally significant. It is a testament to
the power of family and the value of tradition. I feel fortunate to have
such an object in my possession, and I will continue to cherish it for
years to come.

SAMPLE
As a proud Vietnamese, I would like to recommend a place that is very

close to my heart and that I believe would be a perfect destination for
travelers to Vietnam - Hoi An Ancient Town.
Located in the central part of Vietnam, Hoi An Ancient Town was an

important trading port from the 15th to the 19th century, and its
architecture reflects a blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese
influences. The town is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visitors
can explore its narrow streets, colorful buildings, and ancient temples.
One of the main attractions of Hoi An is its lantern festival, which takes
place on the full moon of every lunar month. During this festival, the town
is illuminated with thousands of colorful lanterns, creating a magical
atmosphere that is truly unforgettable.
Another must-see attraction in Hoi An is the Japanese Covered Bridge,

which is a symbol of the town and one of the most photographed
landmarks in Vietnam. The bridge was built in the 16th century by the
Japanese community in Hoi An and features intricate carvings and a
beautiful pagoda.
In addition to its historical and cultural attractions, Hoi An is also known

for its cuisine, which includes local delicacies such as Cao Lau and Mi
Quang. Visitors can sample these dishes at the many restaurants and
street food stalls in the town.

26
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Overall, I highly recommend Hoi An Ancient Town to anyone visiting

Vietnam. With its rich history, beautiful architecture, and unique cultural
traditions, it is a truly special place that should not be missed.
PART 2 - Describe a park or a garden you have enjoyed

visiting.
The park I want to talk about is located in the bustling city of Hanoi,
which is the capital of Vietnam. It's called "Hoa Binh Park." I had the
pleasure of visiting it during my trip to Hanoi about a year ago.
I visited Hoa Binh Park primarily because I wanted to experience a slice

of nature amidst the urban chaos of Hanoi. It was a warm and sunny
day, making it an ideal time to explore the park. Moreover, I was
intrigued by the reputation of Hoa Binh Park for its lush greenery and
serene ambiance.
During my visit, I strolled along the meandering pathways, admiring the

beautiful landscapes, and watching families having picnics by the
lakeside. I also noticed a group practicing tai chi, which added to the
park's tranquil atmosphere.
What I enjoyed most about visiting Hoa Binh Park was the escape it
offered from the city's hustle and bustle. The abundance of trees and the
peaceful lake created a calming environment. It was a great place to
relax, read a book, or simply soak in the natural beauty. It made me
appreciate the harmony between urban life and nature that Hanoi has to
offer.
PART 2 - Describe a photograph that makes you happy

I'd like to talk about a photograph that brings me a lot of joy. This picture
captures a moment from a family gathering, and it's a cherished memory
for me. The photo features a picnic in a beautiful park on a sunny
summer day. In the picture, you can see my family and me sitting on a

27
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
checkered blanket, surrounded by lush greenery and colorful flowers.

We all have big smiles on our faces, and my younger brother is holding a
kite that's soaring high in the clear blue sky.
I took this photo about three years ago during a weekend getaway to a
nearby nature reserve. It was a perfect day with a gentle breeze and the
sound of birds chirping in the background. We had packed a delicious
picnic with sandwiches, fruits, and homemade lemonade. After the meal,
we decided to fly kites, and that's when this joyful moment was captured.
I don't look at this photo regularly, but it's saved in my digital album, so I
come across it from time to time. Whenever I see it, it instantly brings
back the happiness and togetherness we shared that day. It reminds me
of the importance of spending quality time with family and appreciating
the simple pleasures of life.
The reason this photo makes me happy is that it encapsulates the

warmth of family bonds and the beauty of nature. It represents carefree
moments and the joy of being with loved ones. Every time I look at it, I'm
reminded of how fortunate I am to have such wonderful memories, and it
never fails to bring a smile to my face.

PART 3 – CONSUMERISM
Question 1: Did you tell anyone after buying it?
Response: Yes, after purchasing the notebook, I shared my excitement

with my closest friends and family members. I was eager to show them
the beautiful design and the quality of the paper. Their positive reactions
further affirmed my satisfaction with the purchase.

28
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Question 2: What are your thoughts?
Response: I believe that owning a high-quality notebook has had a

positive impact on my daily life. It has helped me stay organized,
express my creativity, and record important thoughts and ideas. The act
of writing by hand has also proven to be a calming and meditative
practice for me, allowing me to disconnect from digital devices and focus
on the present moment.
Question 3: What is the product that is consumed most in your

country? Why?
Response 1: In my country, one of the most consumed products is

definitely rice. Rice is a staple food in our cuisine and is consumed by a
large portion of the population on a daily basis. Its popularity can be
attributed to its versatility, affordability, and the fact that it serves as a
primary source of carbohydrates for many traditional dishes. Additionally,
rice is deeply ingrained in our cultural and culinary heritage, making it an
indispensable part of our diet.
Response 2: In my country, one of the most consumed products is

clothing. This can be attributed to a variety of reasons. Firstly, clothing is
a basic necessity for everyone, and people need different types of attire
for various occasions such as work, social events, and leisure activities.
Additionally, the fashion industry in my country is vibrant and diverse,
with a wide range of styles and trends that cater to different preferences
and cultural influences. As a result, people often purchase clothing to
express their individuality and keep up with the latest fashion trends.
Question 4: Is increasing consumerism a good trend?
Response: While consumerism can drive economic growth and provide

individuals with access to a wide range of goods and services, I believe
that an unchecked increase in consumerism can have negative

29
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
consequences. It can lead to overconsumption, environmental

degradation, and the generation of excessive waste. Instead, I think a
balanced approach to consumption, focusing on sustainability and
mindful purchasing, would be more beneficial for both individuals and the
planet.
PART 3 – LANGUAGE LEARNING

Question 1: Why do people learn foreign languages?
Response: People learn foreign languages for various reasons. Firstly,

in today's globalized world, learning a foreign language can significantly
enhance career prospects and open up opportunities for international
employment. Additionally, it allows individuals to engage with different
cultures, fostering better cross-cultural understanding and
communication. Furthermore, learning a foreign language can be a
means of personal enrichment, broadening one's perspectives and
cognitive abilities.
Question 2: Why are some people able to learn languages easily?
Response: Some individuals find it easier to learn languages due to a

combination of factors. Firstly, a positive attitude and motivation play a
crucial role. Those who are enthusiastic and dedicated to learning a new
language often find the process more manageable. Moreover,
individuals with a natural aptitude for recognizing patterns and sounds
tend to grasp languages more easily. Exposure to the language through
immersion or frequent practice also accelerates the learning process for
some people.
Question 3: Grammar or vocabulary, which is more important when

learning foreign languages?

30
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Response: Both grammar and vocabulary are essential components of

language learning, but if I were to choose, I would say that vocabulary
holds slightly more importance. Vocabulary allows individuals to convey
their thoughts and ideas, facilitating effective communication. However,
without a solid grasp of grammar, the structure and coherence of the
language may be compromised. Therefore, while both are crucial,
vocabulary is often considered more fundamental for everyday
communication.
Question 4: What makes a good foreign language teacher?
Response: A good foreign language teacher possesses several key

qualities. Firstly, effective communication skills are paramount. The
ability to explain complex language concepts in a clear and engaging
manner can greatly aid students' understanding. Patience is also
essential, as learning a new language can be challenging and requires
time. Furthermore, a good teacher should be enthusiastic and
passionate about the language, inspiring students to share their
enthusiasm. Additionally, adaptability and the ability to tailor teaching
methods to suit individual student needs are crucial for a good language
teacher.
PART 3 – EXPERIENCE
Question 1: What are the advantages of having a lot of experience?
Response: Having a wealth of experience brings numerous advantages.

Firstly, it often leads to a deeper understanding of one's field or
profession, allowing individuals to navigate challenges with greater ease
and make informed decisions. Experience also fosters the development
of practical skills and expertise, contributing to enhanced proficiency and

31
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
confidence. Moreover, it can lead to the establishment of a strong

professional network and the ability to mentor others, thereby fostering
career growth and personal development.
Question 2: Should children be encouraged to experience a lot?
Response: Encouraging children to gain diverse experiences is highly

beneficial for their holistic development. Exposure to various activities,
cultures, and challenges can help children build resilience, adaptability,
and a broader perspective of the world. It nurtures their creativity, critical
thinking, and problem-solving abilities, preparing them for the
complexities of adult life. Furthermore, diverse experiences can help
children identify their passions and strengths, laying the foundation for
their future endeavors.
Question 3: People with more experience are more successful,

right?
Response: While experience undoubtedly contributes to success, it is

not the sole determinant. Success is multifaceted and depends on a
combination of factors, including individual skills, knowledge,
opportunities, and perseverance. Experience can provide a valuable
advantage, but success also hinges on how effectively one applies that
experience, as well as other qualities such as adaptability, innovation,
and the ability to learn from failures. Therefore, while experience is
important, it is not the sole predictor of success.
PART 3 - MONEY
Question 1: Why do people rarely use cash now?

32
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Response: Well, the world is becoming increasingly digital, and with the
advent of technology, people have come to rely more on digital forms of
payment such as credit cards, debit cards, and e-wallets. This trend has
been fueled by the convenience and security that digital payments offer,
as well as the proliferation of online shopping. Additionally, carrying cash
can be cumbersome, and people are hesitant to carry copious amounts
of cash due to safety concerns.
Question 2: When do children begin to comprehend the value of

money?
Response: Children begin to comprehend the value of money around

the age of four or five. At this age, they start to understand the concept
of exchanging money for goods or services, and they may even start to
ask for things they want. As they grow older, they become more aware
of the value of money and how it can be used to buy things that they
need or want. Parents can play a key role in teaching children about the
value of money and the importance of saving.
Question 3: Should parents reward children with money?
Response: It depends on the situation. While it's important to teach

children about the value of money and how to manage it responsibly,
parents should be careful not to create a sense of entitlement or
encourage materialism. Instead of using money as a reward, parents
can encourage positive behaviors and values by offering praise, quality
time, or experiences. However, in some cases, offering money as a
reward can be appropriate, such as for completing chores or achieving
academic goals.
Question 4: Is it good and necessary to teach children to save

money?

33
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Response: Yes, it is important to teach children to save money. Saving

money is a valuable life skill that can help children develop fiscal
responsibility and independence. By learning how to budget and save,
children can develop a sense of control over their financial future and
avoid getting into debt. Additionally, teaching children to save money
can also help them learn the value of delayed gratification and the
rewards that come from long-term planning.
PART 3 - BEAUTIFUL THINGS

Question 1: Do you think there are more beautiful things now than
in the past? Why?
Response: I believe that there are certainly more beautiful things now
than in the past. With advancements in technology, architecture, and art,
we have access to a wider range of beauty than ever before.
Additionally, as the world becomes more globalized, we are exposed to
diverse cultures and their unique forms of beauty. However, it's
important to note that beauty is subjective, and what one person finds
beautiful may not be the same for another.
Question 2: What beautiful scenery spots are there in your

country?
Response: My country is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty,

from towering mountains to pristine beaches. Some of the most beautiful
scenery spots include the Swiss Alps, the Rhine River, and the Jungfrau
region. Additionally, there are numerous national parks and nature
reserves that offer breathtaking landscapes and wildlife.
Question 3: Where do you think people usually come into contact

with beautiful things?

34
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Response: People can come into contact with beautiful things in many
different ways. For example, they may encounter beauty through nature,
art, architecture, music, or literature. Additionally, many people find
beauty in human connections, such as friendships and relationships.
Ultimately, beauty is all around us, and it's up to us to seek it out and
appreciate it.
Question 4: Why do you think people create beautiful things?
Response: There are many reasons why people create beautiful things.
For some, it may be a form of self-expression or a way to communicate
their ideas and emotions to others. For others, it may be a way to bring
joy and beauty into the world or to inspire others. Additionally, creating
beautiful things can be a way to challenge oneself and push the limits of
what is possible.
Question 5: Do people in your country prefer listening to music to

appreciating paintings and literature?
Response: I think it's difficult to generalize about preferences for art

forms in my country since people have different tastes and interests.
However, I would say that music is a very popular form of art in my
country, and people often attend concerts and music festivals. That
being said, there is also a strong appreciation for paintings and literature,
and many museums and galleries showcase both local and international
artists.
Question 6: Why do many people go to scenic spots in person instead

of just reading about them in books?
Response: While books and photographs can capture the beauty of a

place, there is something special about experiencing it in person. When

35
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
we visit scenic spots, we can immerse ourselves in the environment and

engage all of our senses. We can feel the sun on our skin, breathe in the
fresh air, and hear the sounds of nature. Additionally, visiting scenic
spots can be a way to disconnect from our daily routines and connect
with something greater than ourselves.
PART 3 - A PIECE OF CLOTHING

Question 1: What things will the people in your country save money for?
Response: In my country, people save money for various reasons. One

common thing people save money for is to purchase a house or an
apartment. Saving money for a down payment or to cover the cost of a
mortgage is a priority for many individuals and families. Additionally,
people also save money for education purposes, such as funding their
children's college tuition or pursuing higher studies themselves. Another
reason people save money is for retirement, ensuring financial stability
during their later years. Lastly, saving money for emergencies or
unexpected expenses is also important to many people.
Question 2: Under what circumstances will people in your country
wear formal clothes?
Response: People in my country tend to wear formal clothes on special

occasions or important events. For instance, formal attire is typically
worn during weddings, where guests often dress up in elegant outfits.
Similarly, on formal business occasions or conferences, professionals
often wear formal attire to present a more professional and respectable
appearance. Furthermore, formal clothes are also cultural festivals as a
way of showing respect during religious ceremonies or adherence to
traditional customs.

and the young in Vietnam?

36
Cơ sở Hà Nội
0225.2667.788
Response: The dress of the elderly and the young in Vietnam differs in
several ways. Firstly, traditional clothing for the elderly often includes
loose-fitting and conservative attire. Elderly individuals may wear long-
sleeved shirts or dresses with subdued colors, reflecting their cultural
values of modesty and respect. On the other hand, young people in
Vietnam often prefer more modern and fashionable clothing. They may
wear trendy clothes, such as jeans, T-shirts, and dresses in vibrant
colors, reflecting their desire for self-expression and following the latest
fashion trends.
Question 4: When do people in your country wear traditional

clothes?
Response: In my country, people wear traditional clothes during

traditional festivals or cultural events These events often showcase the
rich heritage and traditions of our country. For example, during Lunar
New Year celebrations, many people wear traditional garments, such as
the "ao dai" for women or the "ao dai" for men. These outfits are adorned
with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, symbolizing good luck and
prosperity. Additionally, traditional
clothes are also worn during religious festivals and important
ceremonies, as a way of preserving and promoting our cultural identity.
