always get tangled up and sometimes they fall out . So I have earbuds that
connect to my mobile phone via Bluetooth. It's so convenient. I also find that
the sound quality is somehow better. They're more expensive than the wired
ones, but I think it's worth it overall.

I prefer typing most of the time, but I think there's something nice about
handwriting. When I'm trying to plan something out , I'll always write down my
thoughts in a notebook. It makes me feel more organized. Plus, handwriting is a
nice personal touch when you're giving someone a card for their birthday or
another occasion.

2. Nghe cả đoạn

Well, you know, in this day and age, modern technology


has largely marginalized handwriting, and you don't see people writing by hand
as much as they did in the past. That said, I still think some things need to
be handwritten. For example, you should always handwrite a wedding invitation
to show respect to the guests. Moreover, when it comes to young children,
handwriting exercises really do wonders for their cognitive development. So
handwriting is still essential and needs keeping.

I usually prefer typing . I like handwriting, but for the most part, using a computer
is way faster and more convenient. For example, if I'm writing an essay for
school, it would take me way too long to try and write it out. My hand
gets cramped when I try to write for that long. Typing is a lot easier.

Well, handwriting is definitely more personal. Everyone has a unique style of


handwriting, so it's kind of like putting your personality on a page. Typing is much

I’d like to tell you about something which surprised me. A few weeks ago, I found
out that I got accepted for a new job at a technology

morning. This was very surprising because I didn’t think that I would get the job. I
thought the email I received was a rejection email, but to my surprise, it was the
opposite. It was very surprising!

After I found out about the news, I let out a big sigh of relief. I have been job
hunting for a long time, so this was great news. The job is also well-paying, so it
will hopefully help ease some of the financial woes that I have been experiencing
recently. I would say it’s my dream job. I’m going to celebrate with my family in a
few days because they’re very proud of me.

Of course, the surprise made me very happy. I was completely over the
moon when I read the acceptance email. I immediately told all of my friends and
family after I found out. They were all so happy for me. I don’t normally like
surprises because they can be very shocking and mostly they are negative. But
this surprise was a fantastic one. I hope in the future I will continue to receive
some good surprises instead of negative ones.

I’d like to tell you about an incredibly interesting person I met once in the past. A
few years ago, I was travelling across Europe with my coursemates . Because
we didn't have a lot of money, we stayed in hostels. Hostels are
great nests for quirky people, so it's common to meet some
interesting characters there. In a hostel in Paris in the middle of our trip, I met a
man who was around forty years old. He had long white hair
and a black, bushy beard. He was from Australia and had a thick Aussie accent.

I was immediately taken by him because of his image and also his
crazy stories . He told us about his adventures from all around the world. He
had visited every continent on the globe. I want to know more about him because
he was so fascinating. It’s rare to find an older person travelling, so this was
quite a special occasion and I wish we could have spent more time together,
but unfortunately, I had to leave shortly after meeting him.

I think the man had quite an effect on me. Prior to meeting him, I always thought
that when you get older, that’s when your life ends. You become boring, you start
to slow down and you get more obsessed with material
things like houses and cars . But this man showed me that this isn’t always
true. Your older years can also be full of life and enjoyment if you want them to
be. I feel so glad to have met him because he taught me so many
life lessons which I will carry with me into my future.

People make friends in Vietnam through conventional ways such as


through social media, a common workplace or through a common activity like
sport or volunteering. A common method is to make ‘friends of friends’,
that means you become friendly with the people who know
your current friends. For example, a few weeks ago, I made friends with the
work colleagues of my old school friend. Making friends this way can help you
create a big network of people you’re close to.

2. Nghe cả đoạn

A common place for people to make friends is a party. This is because people
are usually more relaxed and open to having conversations with new
people. People may also be eating and drinking, which creates a more
social atmosphere. For example, I was at a work party a few weeks
ago. Everyone was laughing and joking around, which put a smile on my
face. I got on with a lot of new people that night and we became good friends.

For me, this is incredibly important because a similar hobby and interest can
create a common ground for conversation between you and the other
person. Without this common ground, making conversation can be difficult. For
example, I’m really into sports and I love to talk about this. If the other person
doesn’t like sports, and is interested in something which I’m not interested in, for
example, fashion, then it will be difficult for me to have a conversation with
them. So, we probably wouldn’t become friends.

That’s a good question. First and foremost, true friends


are trustworthy and reliable. They are always someone to turn to in difficult
times. My best friend, John, is someone like this. We can talk about anything,
and he is always there for me no matter what. Another quality of a true friend is
that they can always pick you up when you’re down because they are fun
and humorous. John and I always do fun things like go to the beach or go see a
film when one of us is going through a tough time. This is so important for mental
wellbeing.

Being a country with a long heroic history in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has its
connection with an array of historical events . Right from being
a slave to wars and separation, the history of this country is rich
in memorable occurrences and aftermaths.

One of the significant historical events that took place in Vietnam was on April
30th, 1975, which is known as Reunification Day. It is a public holiday in Vietnam
that marks the end of the Vietnam War and the reunification of two previously
separated regions.

Before 1975, Vietnam was divided into two regions. While the North had
gained dependence, the Southern part was still under the control of
America. Therefore, Vietnam then had to fulfill two missions , the first one was to
develop the economy in the North while continuing to fight America to gain the
control of Saigon city.

After a long period of relentless fighting and heroic battles, North Vietnamese
troops successfully captured Saigon, which marked the fall of the Saigon
government on April 30th 1975.

Even without its patriotic significance, this is a popular holiday as it is the day
before Labour Day meaning it is the start of a welcome two day holiday. Because
of this extended break, many people take the time to return to their
families. Banks and government offices will close, but most shops
remain open . Tourist sites may be busier than usual, with the Ho Chi Minh
Mausoleum in Hanoi being the top place to visit.

The day itself is marked by parades in Ho Chi Minh City and the flag of Vietnam
will be flown proudly across the country.

Yes, they always emphasize the importance of history. They said we can learn a
lot from history. From what they have taught me, I believe that we should come
to know about the way of life, culture and traditions of the past times, and about
the important historical events that paved the way for progress and development,
like the Industrial revolution. The most important thing is that we can get
our motivation by learning about the achievements of some people and we can

I'm going to talk about a musician that I admire, called... He's a singer who also
plays the guitar and writes his own songs . I think he recorded his first album
about 10 years ago, and he's released several other CDs since then.

He became successful after many years of writing songs and performing live in
small venues all over the country. Gradually he built a following of people
who liked his music. I think the key to his success was one of his songs that was
used on a TV advertisement. This meant that more people became aware of his
music.

I found out about... because one of my friends got tickets to see him in concert. I
hadn't heard any of his music before, but I went along to the gig and really
enjoyed it. After that I bought the first CD, and now I've got all of them.

The reason I admire... is that he has worked hard for his success: it takes years
of practice to become a good singer and guitarist, and he spent several years
playing to very small audiences before he became successful. I also like the fact
that he writes his own music. I look up to people who have worked hard to get
where they are.
