hundred million. It’s very costly. To learn higher can take a lot of time, it’s about two years.

18. You are asked the best way to take notes in class. Three ways of taking notes:
using pens, using by phone/ ipad; recording the teacher’s lecture. What is your best
choice?
In my opinion, using pens is the best choice because of the following reasons
Firstly, Pens: fast/light/ and effective to use pen to write on notebook - we can keep it for a
long time. Secondly, Whenever I want to see the notes, I can easily look at my notes on my
notebook.
On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose the Phone: it’s heavy / slow/ Phone
has some problems such as running out of battery or it can be stolen.
Recording is not my best choice because ; it takes a long time to listen to the lecture again
and sometimes the content may be lost
In short, using pens is my best choice.
19. Your friend wants to organize a high school class reunion (họp lớp cấp 3). He’s
15
thinking 3 options: visiting old school and teachers, organizing a party and inviting
teachers and classmates, holding one day trip. What is your best choice?
Sample 1:
My choice: Organizing ..:it is more meaningful, they can meet teachers and friends to
take pictures/ to review the best memory they had together, update the latest
information about the teachers and classmates; take photos together.
Visiting old school and teachers: too simple, we can’t meet our friends and update the
information. It takes a lot of time and preparation to arrange a meeting at school with
teachers and classmates.
Holding one day trip; expensive, it’s difficult to arrange the suitable time/ destination/ plan
for a whole day.
Sample 2:
+ Visiting old school and teacher is the best way to reconnect with former teachers and
friends directly.
+ Visiting old school and teachers is also a good way to see how our school has changed
during these times.
+ Visiting old school doesn’t cost a lot money for the trip because I don’t have to plan how
much money I spend for a high school class reunion.
+ organizing a party can be cost a lot of money, and takes time to find suitable place to
make sure that everybody can join the party
+ holding one day trip can be time-consuming and it can definitely be difficult to
find activities that everybody can involve in the trip

Sample 3
On teacher’s day: visit the old school, hold a party and invite friends and teachers, hold
a one-day trip

There are three options: visit the old school, hold a party and invite friends and teachers, and
hold a one-day trip. Holding a one-day trip is always my best choice because the following
reasons
First of all, holding a one-day trip helps me relax and reduce stress after school. It’s a great
way to temporarily forget all pressure of my daily life.
Secondly, If I choose to hold a one-day trip, I can travel to famous places such as Ha Long
Bay, Phu Quoc Island, and Nha Trang Beach. I come to go there with my friend and my
family. I can enjoy beautiful views and take a lot of photos.
Finally, If I choose to hold a one-day trip, I will meet many people and make new friends I
can enjoy delicious food. It's very interesting and happy.
About visiting the old school, Although It helps me meet my friends and old teachers again.
I don’t choose it because the old school is near my house. I often visit it. It isn’t special and
meaningful.

16
About hold a party and invite friends and teachers, Although It’s very interesting. Everyone
can talk together and review memories. I don’t choose it because To hold a party, I need to
take a lot of time and money to decorate the party and buy food. I need to book in advance
and choose a place to hold a party. It’s very difficult.
In short, for the reasons I mention above, that’s why holding a one-day trip is always my best
choice

20. Your sister decides to lose weight. Three suggested options: going to the gym;
taking weight loss by drugs; going on a diet. What is your best choice?
Option 1: it is the best way to lose weight and it’s safe to keep fit and stay healthy
Option 2: it’s not safe and she can get some diseases and side-effects (tác dụng phụ)
Option 3: it’s not good for health

+Firstly, going to the gym is the safest way to burn the fat, lose weight and keep fit,
+Secondly, going to the gym helps to meet friends so we can build up our social relationship
+ Finally, going to the gym always helps my sister reduce stress after a hard working day

-On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose Taking weight loss drugs is very
dangerous and harmful for our body because it requires a long-term use so it can cause
negative effects such as heart attack, addiction of weight-loss pills
-Going on a diet is not my best choice because it is also not good for our health, it makes
people be lack of energy for other activities and also easily affects our digest system

In short, going to the gym is my best choice.

Hoặc
20.1 Your brother would like you to give him some advice on how to lose weight. Which
do you think is the best choice?
There are THREE options for you to choose:
- Skip meals (bỏ bữa)
- Use drugs (dùng thuốc)
- Exercise regularly (go to the gym)
In my opinion, The best way to lose weight is to exercise regularly. Firstly, doing exercises
helps reduce the level of fat and strengthen the muscles. Moreover, exercises allow more
energy released and help us stronger and healthier. Jogging or going to the gym every day is
the good method.

17
Nowadays, some people often skip their meals or use drugs as the ways to lose weight.
These are acceptable in a short time because they can have negative influences on our health.
If people don’t eat any of three meals in a day, they tend to die of eating and therefore they
can eat much more in the next meals without control. As a result, they become fatter.

Using drugs can be able to affect negatively to center nervous system and social activities
such as low thinking and memory, ineffective work, easy mistake making,… In conclusion,
it is necessary to exercise every day to maintain a nice and healthy body.
Side effects: tác dụng phụ

- Textbooks: simple; they study a lot in the class everyday
- Picture books: expensive; poor content
Vocab:

22. A friend from Nha Trang/Da Nang city wants to visit HN this weekend. There are 3
places: HCM mausoleum, Hoan Kiem lake; Hanoi museum. Which is your best
choice?
18
In my opinion, HCM Mausoleum is the best choice for me because of the following
reasons.
Firstly, HCM mausoleum is one of the most attractive places where attracts a lot of
tourists in HN capital because it is the final resting place of HCM. He will know more
about the life of the president HCM.
Secondly, Around HCM mausoleum there are some other nice places such as HCM’s
house, One Pillar Pagoda and Ba Dinh Square where you can take pictures and more
importantly can deeply understand our history.
I don’t choose HK lake: he visited there many times; It hasn’t changed for a long time. The
streets are very crowded and very dangerous when you across from the streets near HK lake

Vietnamese history and culture.
Secondly, he can read any time and in any places;
Moreover, he can take notes or highlight the important information on the book that he needs
to remember.
On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose Museum because it’s not easy to
arrange the time to visit and the museum is not always open.
Video is not my best choice because : it’s difficult for him to choose the suitable video about
Vietnamese history and not many videos are translated in to foreign languages.
In short, reading books is my best choice

Sample 2:
There are three options: going to the museum, watching documentaries, and reading books.
Watching documentaries is always my best choice because the following reasons.

Vietnam. There are a lot of documentaries. It’s produced from various information such as
stories of heroes, letters, the family of soldiers, the author himself, and so on. Therefore, It
shows the truth about the history of Vietnam
Secondly, the documentaries have many on the internet. We will find it easily. We can watch
it anywhere such as the school, our house, the coffee store, the library, and other places. It’s
very convenient.
Finally, On the internet, almost documentaries are free. We don’t take a lot of money to buy
it. I can save money to do many things. It’s very useful.

19
About the museum, although It’s a great way to find out the history of Vietnam. We can see
objects from the war and have an interesting sightseeing tour. I don’t choose it because If we
go to the museum. We can take a lot of time to move and pay fees to visit the museum.
Besides, the museum doesn’t have too many things. It can’t show all about the history of
Vietnam
About reading books, although It’s a not bad solution to watching documentaries and some
people can do it. I don’t choose it because It isn’t suitable for me. It’s inconvenient and
uncomfortable. It isn’t good as other ways such as watching documentaries
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why watching documentaries is always
my best choice.

suggest the sources of learning. There are 3 options: going to the museum (A), watching

historical objects and listening to historical events through tour guide/ historians
+ Going to the museum also helps to relax, enrich their eyesight/outloook, develop their
creative thinking and language use.
-Watching documents and listening to Vietnamese songs to study Vnese history cannot as

About I post on Facebook, Although It helps me send congratulations to my close friend. I
don’t choose it because my close friend doesn’t like social media. Besides, nowadays,
posting congratulations on Facebook is very popular and almost people will do it, so it isn’t
special and meaningful.
About making a phone call, Although It’s a great way to send congratulations to my close
friend. I don’t choose it because I and my close friend meet every day, we go out and go to

20
school together every day. I can talk congratulations and I don’t need to make a phone call. It
isn’t suitable for me to choose it.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above that’s why sending a card is always my best
choice

Sample 2

1: Firstly, I want to make my friend surprised / Through social network/On Facebook, I
want many people to send greetings to my close friend and make her happy (Post on
facebook: Birthday wishes and a Birthday song that was sung by me; that will make
him/her surprised)
2: On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose a phone call because I often
call my friend on birthday every year
3; Sending a card isn’t my best choice because It’s too simple
In short, posting wishes on facebook is the best choice
Sample 3
+Posting birthday wishes on facebook timeline is the most direct, convenient and fastest way
in the modern society because everybody uses fb as a means of communication everyday.
+Posting on facebook is also a soft remind which encourages other people to make best wishes
to my close friend
-Phoning a call may cost much money than posting on fb and sometimes when my friend is
busy working, she cannot pick up the phone
- Sending a card can take longer time for both me and my friend who have to go to the post
office and wait for the birthday card.

First of all, HN is the capital of Vietnam. It’s very big and It has a lot of famous places such
as Hoan Kiem Lake, HCM museum, HN Ancient town/the Old Quarter, the temple of
literature, and so on.
Secondly, My friend can enjoy delicious food there such as Bun Cha, Pho HN, Banh Mi,
Bun Bo, and so on.
Finally, My friend can know about special cultures, traditional clothes, or habits and
customs. She can learn new things and widen her knowledge. It’s very useful
About HCM city, Although it’s a big city. I don’t choose it because HCM city can focus on
developing the economy. It has many companies and factories. It doesn’t have many
beautiful places to sightseeing. People will come to HCM city to find a job instead of
traveling. Besides, in HCM city, there are too many people, so many problems often happen
such as traffic jams, and traffic accidents. It’s very dangerous for my friend.
About Hue, Although It’s very beautiful and has many famous travel places. I don’t choose
it because It’s natural, quiet, and romantic. My friend is very active. She like modern than
classic. Therefore, I think Hue city isn’t suitable for her.
In short, for the reasons I mention above, that’s why HN is always my best choice

28.1 Hoặc Buying things for a five-year old son? What would you buy for a five-year
old son? (a toy/a book/ an Ipad)

early.

- Firstly, Teachers have living experience and know strong points and weak points of
students.

24
- Secondly, the teachers are flexible and can assess students in a comprehensive and
fair way.
On the other hand, about 2 other options
I don’t choose peer assessment: brings bias attitude and results may be unreliable
Self-assessment is not my best choice because: it’s not objective way and students do not
have enough skills to assess themselves.
In short, ……
30. You are studying economics (ngành kinh tế học) and need daily update on economic
news: Internet/ TV/ radio. What is the best choice?

Firstly, Internet: easy to use, popular (I just need a mobile phone connected to the Internet)
Secondly, it’s cheap, fast, convenient, effective/ I can read the news anywhere at any time I
want with Internet connection.
Moreover, it contains a rich source of information about economics (websites; online
journals)
TV: It’s not available every time and it follows the timetable
Radio: it’s boring/ the information is limited because of time
In short, ….
31. You have 3 days off and there are some activities: at home/ go hiking/
travel abroad. What is the best choice?
Hiking: relax and see views/ enjoy the fresh air in the mountain; sceneries
At home: boring
Travel abroad: expensive / not enough time to travel abroad for 3 days.
32. You are preparing activities for Women’s Day. There are some activities

time

25
Party (Karaoke): it’s expensive and noisy/ not all students can sing well/ like singing

33. You want to raise money for charity (quyên góp tiền từ thiện). There are 3 options
suggested: concert/ 2nd hand market / marathon
I think a second hand market is my best choice because of the following reasons
Firstly, It’s easy to collect a lot of second hand stuff/ things (clothes, books, newspapers,
magazines, shoes, sandals) and we can get a lot of money;
Secondly, everyone has second-hand things and they are willing to give to others/
charity.
On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose Concert because I don’t have
experience to organize/ not many people understand about the concert; it is difficult for me
to invite music band or famous singers.
I don’t choose a Marathon because It takes a lot of time to prepare; I don’t have experience
in organizing this kind of event.
In short, I think my choice is the second-hand market because of the reasons I have
mentioned above.
34. A group of students are raising money for charity. There are 3 options: from
companies, from schools and from individuals. What is your best choice?

Sample 1
+ Raising money from schools helps to teach students how to work in team to take care the
community, especially the poor people
+ Raising money from schools through selling their personal things is also a great way to set
up and boost up the students’ their own mini/ startup business
-Raising money from companies perhaps can gain much money than at schools, however
students have to take a lot of their time to find suitable companies, this will be a challenge and
affect their school time
-Raising money from individuals might not make much money because the living cost now is
quite high, therefore some people even do not always have enough money for their life

Sample 2
In my opinion, students should call on companies to donate money to charity.
Here are a few reasons.
Firstly, companies always have the correct social security funds annually.
The company's social security funds must be used.
If it is not used, the company cannot use it either.
Secondly, the company giving of social security funds and providing it to the community is
a social responsibility that the company must do.
26
 It is the rule that the company must donate money to charity.
Finally, the social security funds of the company would establish as a request from local
government.
The company uses the social security funds to donate money to charity, which means that
the company fulfills the responsibility to the local community.
On the other hand, about 2 other options schools have to take care of the student leave, so
they rarely have a menu to donate to students.
And personally, it is not the responsibility of individuals to donate to charity.
Therefore, it is difficult for students to ask for charity funds from schools and individuals.
In short, students contact and ask the company's social funds as quickly as possible and get
the most money possible.
The reason is, serving society is the responsibility of the company.

35. You need to take photos at the end of school year (chụp ảnh kỷ yếu). There are
some places suggested: park/ flower garden/ zoo. What is the best choice?
- I think flower garden is my best choice because of the following reasons
Firstly, there are many beautiful flowers with different colors to take photos; suitable
for photography; suitable for posing; It inspires people to pose more. They can take photos
with their favorite flowers.
Secondly, Students especialy girls like to see beautiful flowers in the flower garden.
Students will have amazing photos to post on their Facebook as sweet memories.
Finally, The entrance fee is cheap.
- I don’t choose the park because: it’s more suitable to do exercises/ It’s far from school/
not beautiful
- The zoo is not my best choice because: there are many animals; it’s suitable for
visitors especially children/ not suitable for taking photos at the end of school year.
In short, taking photos in the flower garden is my best choice.

36. You need to buy some things on Tet holiday. There are some places
suggested: Traditional market/ supermarket/ department store. What do you
choose?

cheap. We can feel the atmosphere of traditional Tet holiday. We do Not have to queue to

27
pay the bill.
Supermarket: expensive/ it takes a lot of time for making a line/ queuing to pay the bill.
Department store: limited stuff/ things/ products to buy for Tet holiday; We do not feel the
atmosphere of traditional Tet holiday.
In short, …….
Sample 2
There are three options: an open-air market, a supermarket, and a department store. The
supermarket is always my best choice because the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose the supermarket, It helps me buy things easily because the
supermarket has a lot of kinds of goods. The goods are properly on the shelves. I find the
goods easily.
Secondly, If I choose the supermarket, It helps me save a lot of money because the price of
the supermarket is reasonable. The price of the goods is shown on the shelves. I don’t need
to ask the price If I want to buy it. It’s very convenient.
Finally, If I choose the supermarket, It’s very clear and cool because the supermarket has
some air conditioning and is cleaned every day. It’s very comfortable.
About an open-air market, Although it’s cheap. I don’t choose it because It’s very dirty and
crowded. There are too many people in an open-air market. There may be pickpockets or
thieves. It’s very dangerous. Besides, I can ask the price and bargain. I don’t like it.
About a department store, Although I can buy a lot of things there. I don’t choose it because
It’s very expensive and It doesn’t have many kinds of goods. It isn’t suitable for me to choose
it.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why the supermarket is always my best
choice

37. There are some punishment ways for people who smoke in public places: fining
(pay 500,000 VND)/ community service (lao động công ích)/ put in to prison. What’s the
best choice? Punishment = penalty: hình phạt
Choice: community service: He has to work hard such as cleaning toilets in the public
places/ cleaning the streets to see their bad habits to change.
- pay 500,000 VND; I don’t choose to pay 500,000VND because this penalty is too light for
them; smoke is harmful for both smokers and non-smokers near them/ rich people are ready
to pay a lot of money to continue smoking.
- put in to prison is not my best choice because it is too heavy
In short, community service is the best choice because of the reasons I have mentioned
above
Sample 1:

28
There are three options: 500 thousand, doing community service, and prison. Doing
community service is always my best choice because the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose to do community service, It helps me reduce smoking in public
places. Smoking in public places is not good. It can affect other people around. It can cause
serious diseases such as lung diseases, cancer, stroke, and so on.
Secondly, If I choose to do community service, They can do many activities such as planting
trees, cleaning up trash in the park, helping poor children and lonely old people, and other
activities. It’s very good for society
About 500 thousand, Although It’s a great way to reduce smoking in public places. I don’t
choose it because It isn’t a serious enough punishment. Some people can smoke in the public
again. Besides, with rich people, 500 thousand is small money. They don’t care If they are
punished 500 thousand.
About put in the prison, Although It’s a great way to reduce smoking in public places. I don’t
choose it because It is a too serious punishment. If this is the first time, people smoke in the
public, We should allow them to change
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why Doing community service is always
my best choice.

38. Your sister is short-sighted (bị cận thị), choose a place for her to sit in the class: sit
in front; in the middle; at the back?

- I think the best place for my sister to sit in the class is in front because of the following
reasons

Firstly, sitting in front helps my sister see every word on the board clearly.

Secondly, It also helps my sister to communicate with her teacher more and she will

There are three options: a backpack, a book, and a beauty product. A book is always my best
choice because the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose a book, It’s very good and interesting. For example, If this is an
English book, It helps my friend learn various skills such as English communication, English
vocabulary, English grammar, English listening, and other skills.
Secondly, If I choose a book, It isn’t too expensive. I can’t need to take a lot of money to buy
it. My friends can keep it as a memory and use a long time. It’s very useful

it. It’s very good for my friend
About a backpack, Although it’s very beautiful and my friend can keep it as a memory. I

very costly.

choose it.
In short, for the reasons I mentioned above, that’s why a book is always my best choice.

learn various skills such as communication skills, teaching skills, managing stress, and so
on.

friendly, easy-going, active, gentle, happy, and so on. They shouldn’t angry when students

choice

45. Choose a place to self-study: a library, at home, a coffee house

There are three options: a library, at home, and a coffee house. A library is always my best
choice because of the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose a library, I don’t need to take a lot of money because a library is free
for students. Everyone will go to the library to study and work. So, the library is very quiet.
Secondly, A library has many kinds of books. I will find a book easily. Besides, the library
has some computers, It’s convenient to search for information.

affected by the noise of other people around me.
On the other hand, about 2 other options, About the coffee house, although it’s very
comfortable. I don’t choose it because I take some money to order coffee. Besides, Some
people don’t go to the coffee house to study, they can go there to talk together. So, I can be
affected by them.
In short, for the reasons I mention above, that’s why a library is always my best choice.

choice

following reasons.
First of all, If I choose to let him continue but under my control, It’s very good for him.
Because It’s freedom of him. Love someone isn’t bad. Although it can cause negative effects,
It can have great benefits. He will very angry and sad If I stop him.

48. Choose a birthday present for mother: perfume; a plant; a microwave

1. My choice: Plant: Firstly, A plant is a thoughtful and long-lasting gift that can
brighten up your mother's home or office. Secondly, plants can also have health
benefits, such as purifying the air and reducing stress. Finally, my mother enjoys
gardening and she has a green thumb, so a plant could be an excellent choice.

2. Perfume: Perfume is a popular choice for a birthday present, and many people enjoy
receiving it as a gift. However, I am not sure about my mother's preferences in terms
of fragrance.
3. Microwave: While a microwave can be a practical and useful gift, it may not be the
most exciting option for a birthday present. Additionally, my mother already has a
microwave, she does not use it frequently.

useful for outdoor activities like recess duty or field trips. But I do not know about

 50. Your friend is going on a long journey by train on his own. Which do you think is
the best way to pass time on a long journey?
There are THREE options for you to choose:
- Talking to other people
- Reading books
- Sleeping

Sample 1
- In my opinion, the best way to pass time on a long journey is to talk to other people
for the following reasons.
- Firstly, when talking you may forget everything around you and just focus on your
chat.
- Secondly, you can make new friends
- On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t think that reading books is good
because on a journey as our eyes may become tired. Moreover, we can get train-sick
because of concentrating on reading.
- Sleeping is also a good way to pass the time but we cannot socialize with others while
sleeping.
- So for me talking to other people is the best choice
Sample 2
- Talking: More positive experience about journey, makes new friends, more social, break
out of your comfort zone, enjoy the journey more
- Sleeping: tired; train sickness
- Reading book: tired
Getting a long train on your own can be kind of tiring and boring; therefore, you may
probably prefer to find something to do to pass the time. Talking to other people, reading
books or sleeping are some options that, to some extent, are good to be chosen. As far as I’m
concerned, I would rate communicating with others higher than either reading books or
sleeping because of a number of its benefits.
Firstly, in spite of just isolating yourself from others, talking will help you get more
positive experience about your journey. It’s when you can share all about your life, your

34
job or your ideas with a stranger. And in fact, we often feel comfortable to openly tell a
person we’ve never met before our stories either the bad or good. By this, we can relieve our
stress and become happier. By communicating, we can spice up our tedious moments on the
train.
Besides, talking is prerequisite for a friendship to flourish. Obvious as it is, no friendship
can be built in silence; and all of your friends were once strangers. Breaking out your
comfort zone and starting a conversation with a stranger may probably bring you a soul mate
that you’ve found for long.
In contrast, sleeping and reading book are by far less favorable. Focusing hard on a book
when the train is moving can cause tiredness. The story conveyed will then be less
appealing and barely completely understood. On the other hand, after sleeping during the
whole long journey, you may feel weary to wake up with a possible pain in your head. The
longer you remain apart from others, the less you can enjoy.
In a nutshell, I think it is highly recommended that people open themselves to talk with other
so that they can greatly relish their long journey on the train and make new friends and turn
on their excitement.
51. What do you do after an English lesson? Talking to friends; reading books; doing
exercise/
Hoặc nếu bạn có 15 phút giải lao giữa giờ (15-minute break time) bạn sẽ làm gì?
Talking to friends; reading books; doing exercise (tập thể dục)
In my opinion,talking to friends after an English lesson is the best choice for the following
reasons.
Firstly, talking to friends will help everyone relax after stressful class hours.
Secondly, everyone can share their learned knowledge with each other.
About 2 other options, reading books and doing exercise are also a good way but you don’t
have time to relax. In short, talking to friends is the best choice.
Sample 1
There are three options: talk to friends, read books, and do exercise. Doing exercise is
always my best choice because the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose to do exercise, It helps me keep fit, lose weight, stay healthy, and
prevent various health problems such as high blood pressure, stroke, lung disease, cancer,
and so on. It’s very useful
Secondly, If I choose to do exercise, I can do exercise in many places such as the park, the
school yard, the house yard, the stadium, and other places. It’s very convenient.
Finally, If I choose to do exercise, there are a lot of activities to do exercise such as walking,
cycling, gyming, jumping rope, and so on. It’s very good for my health
35
About reading books, Although It’s a great way to reduce stress and clear my head. I don’t
choose it because It’s very boring. I think I should go out instead of staying at home to read
books.
About talking to friends, although It’s very happy when I talk to my friends. I don’t choose it
because I and my friends go to school every day. We often meet and go out together. So, It
isn’t special and meaningful if I talk to friends.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why doing exercise is always my best
choice

52. Your child is entering primary school. Which school do you want to choose: a
school with high focus on personality/ a school on academic development/ a school with
relaxed atmosphere.
- a school with high focus on personality: it helps children to form useful personality to
become good citizens. Children are able to form great personalities.
- a school on academic development: it’s not necessary for children at grade 1 at primary
school. Children may be under a lot of pressure.
- a school with relaxed atmosphere: it’s not good and it can make students become lazy and
distract their study. They may not follow school rules. They may develop negative
personalities.
Sample 1:
66. To have better quality, the school should focus on about: academic development,
personality development, and relaxed activities.
There are three options: academic development, personality development, and relaxed
activities. Academic development is always my best choice because the following reasons
First of all, The school can increase teaching quality. The school should have many
advanced courses, basic subjects, art subjects, natural subjects, social subjects, and so on.
Secondly, The school needs to improve various skills of students and teachers such as
finding information, writing, listening, speaking, and so on. The school should support and
conserve it.
Finally, To have better quality, the school should set up modern machinery and equipment
such as computers, air conditioning, electronic board, and so on. It helps the teaching
become better.
About personality development, Although It’s a great way to have better quality. I don’t
choose it because A personality will be affected by different causes such as family, friends,
practice in daily life, and other causes. It’s difficult to change personality.
About relaxed activities, Although It’s a good solution to have better quality. I don’t choose
it because If there are too many relaxed activities, we can don’t focus on the learning. It
takes a lot of time. Learning is the most important. If only have relaxed activities and don’t
have learning, the quality can’t become better.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why academic development is always
my best choice

53. Your family is discussing how your 7th grade nephew spends summer holiday.

military training; it helps him to experience and practice the strict regulations to become a
good citizen.
staying with grandparents in the country side: grandparents do not have the good health to
look after my nephew
54. You have 2 weeks before final exams. Would you stay home to revise for the test (A),
take a short holiday with your family (B); join friends for parties (C)? What is your best
choice?
+Staying at home at this time is the safest way to protect ourselves from Corona pandemic.
+Staying at home to revise for the test helps me understand the lesson better and easily get
good marks for the test
-During the spread of Coronavirus, going on holiday has a lot of travel restrictions because of
easily exporting and importing the virus.
-Joining friends for parties is the fastest way to expand the virus to the crowd

55. A group of students are travelling to Da Nang. You are a local person there, what
kind of accommodation do you recommend: hotel, homestay; self-catering house

As a local person in Da Nang, I would recommned a homestay because of the following

reasons.
Firstly, a homestay offers a more authentic and cultural experience. Homestays are a great
way to connect with local people, learn about their way of life, and experience their culture
firsthand.

Secondly, In a homestay, you'll typically stay in a room in a local family's house, and they'll
provide you with meals and give you an opportunity to interact with them and learn more
about their way of life. It can be a great way to learn about the local customs and traditions
and gain a deeper appreciation for the area you're visiting.

On the other hand, about 2 other options. I don’t choose a hotel because it is more expensive
than other options, especially for larger groups and fewer opportunities to interact with local
people and learn about the culture.

A self-catering house is not my best choice because it may lack the amenities and services of
a hotel, such as room service and daily cleaning. Guests are responsible for their own
cleaning.
In short, a homestay is my best choice because of the reasons I have mentioned above.

56. Your are searching to write your graduate thesis. There are three resources: free

37
+ Free online books; It is very easy to find free online books which are suitable for my graduate
thesis as well as always available in the public domain, just with a good Internet connectivity
and appropriate browser apps.
+ Free online books help to save my budgets and more importantly you can read a lot of peer-
review of the e-books to see how it is necessary for my graduate thesis and then give the final
decision of its usage
+ Journals in my university or journals of my major with payments are good choice, however
they totally cost a lot of money. As you know that I am a student, therefore I sometimes have
financial problems thus I cannot afford to buy these journals
+ My major is related to international economic development therefore economic journals in
my country and in my university are not really necessary/ helpful for my graduate thesis
57. Your English teacher is going to retire next month, you and your friends are planning
to hold a farewell party. There are some places for your class to choose: your classroom,
teacher’s house and a restaurant near school. What is your best choice?

+Organizing a farewell party in a restaurant near school will create warm atmosphere and have
a chance to enjoy different delicious food as well as a great service.
+Having a party in a restaurant can be used for a large space with hundred of people at the
same time.
- Organizing a farewell party in teacher’s house can be hard to host an elaborate party at her
house home and perhaps will affect her family member and neighbors
- Organizing the party in the classroom is sometimes allowed and has a quite small space for
all people
Sample 1:
Choose a place to hold a party: in class, in the teacher’s house, in a restaurant
There are three options: the class, the teacher’s house, and a restaurant. My class is always
my best choice because the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose my class, I can decorate a lot of things such as flowers, balloons,
stars, colorful lights, and so on.
Secondly, If I choose my class, I can buy a lot of food such as soft drinks, cakes, fruits,
spaghetti, and so on. I can take part in some activities such as talking together, playing
games, answering questions, singing, and so on. It’s very interesting.
Finally, If I choose my class, We can go there easily because we go to school and come to
my class every day and my class is near our house. We don’t need to find the address of the
party. Besides, I don’t need to book in advance. So, I can save a lot of money to buy many
things. It’s very convenient.
About in the teacher’s house, Although It helps me hold a party that my teacher can take
part in. I can save a lot of money because I don’t need to book in advance. I don’t choose it
because my teacher’s house can have old people or children. It’s very inconvenient because
the party can make a noise and affect their rest.
About in a restaurant, Although It’s a great way to hold a party. I can do a lot of things that I
don’t affect other people. I don’t choose it because a restaurant is very expensive. The food
and book in advance aren’t cheap. It isn’t suitable for the student to choose it. It takes a lot of
money. It’s very costly
In short, for the reasons I mention above, my class is always my best choice.

can’t use for a long time. It isn’t suitable for me to choose it.
About a cinema ticket, Although It’s very interesting, It helps me relax and reduce stress. I
don’t choose it because a cinema ticket is cheap. It’s about 100 thousand. I can buy it easily.
It isn’t meaningful and special. Besides, My friend doesn’t like noise and crowded. It isn’t
suitable for them.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why a handmade card is always my best
choice

59. Situation: You are going on holiday. There are three options: going with your family (A),

+Going on holiday with family will increase the love between family members

-Going on with friends is a good choice, however it is not as happy as going with our beloved family
-Going on holiday alone is boring. It means it is very boring when travelling alone
Sample 1:
There are three options: going out with friends, going out alone, and going out with my
family. Going out with my family is always my best choice because the following reasons
First of all, going out with my family helps me relax and reduce stress after school. It’s a
great way to temporarily forget all pressure of my daily life. Besides, when I go out with my
family, I will feel cozier
Secondly, If I choose to go out with my family, I can travel to famous places such as Ha
Long Bay, Phu Quoc Island, and Nha Trang Beach. I come to go there with my family. I can
enjoy beautiful views and take a lot of photos.
Finally, If I choose to go out with my family, I can enjoy delicious food. It's very interesting
and happy.
About going out with my friend, Although it’s very happy. I don’t choose it because I and
my friends go to school every day. We often go out together. It isn’t special and meaningful.
About going out alone, Although It helps me have freedom. I don’t choose it because It’s
very boring. I like to go out with everyone. There aren’t many activities to do If I go out
alone. It isn’t suitable for me to choose it.
In short, for the reasons I mentioned above, that’s why going out with my family is always
my best choice.
39
60. Situation: You are preparing a presentation on a new product. There are three options for
you to choose to present the product: a powerpoint slide, a poster and a video. What is the
best choice?

In my opinion, video is the best choice because of the following reasons.

Firstly, Videos are a great way to showcase a product in action and convey emotions and
feelings associated with it. They are often used in marketing campaigns or social media
channels to promote products or services.
Secondly, Videos are a good choice if you want to create an emotional connection with your
audience or showcase how your product works in a dynamic way.
On the other hand, about 2 other options
I do not choose powerpoint slide because they can be boring if not done well, and you risk
losing your audience's attention if your presentation is too long or too text-heavy.

Using poster is not my best choice because posters may not be suitable for a more formal
setting, such as a business meeting, where you need to convey more detailed information.
In short, using video is my best choice because of the reasons I have mentioned above.

61. Situation: You are doing your project about life in the countryside. To do the project well,
three suggestions are offered: going to the countryside, watching it on the Internet and
reading books. What is the best choice?

In my opinion, going to the countryside is the best choice because of the following reasons
Firstly, Going to the countryside can give you a first-hand experience of life in the countryside.
Secondly, You can observe the landscape, interact with locals, and learn about their culture and
traditions.

On the other hand, about 2 other options; although Watching videos or reading articles about the
countryside on the Internet can provide you with a lot of information and insights. You can access
a wide range of content, from documentaries and travel vlogs to academic papers and research
studies.
However, you need to be careful about the reliability and accuracy of the sources you use, as not
all of them may be trustworthy.

About reading books, Reading books about the countryside can be a great way to deepen your
knowledge and understanding of rural life. However, this option requires time and effort, as you
need to find and read relevant books, which can be challenging if you are not familiar with the
subject.
In short, going to the countryside is my best choice because of the reasons I have mentioned
above.

62. Your friend has a part time job.

- Shop assistant : she has to work hard in the morning or afternoon, sometimes it can
affect her study time at school,

40
- A waitress: Work in the evening and come back home late and it’s not good for health
and dangerous to come back at night.
Sample 1:
There are three options: a waiter, a shop assistant, and a tutor. A tutor is always my best
choice because the following reasons.
First of all, If I choose a tutor, It help me make a lot of money to buy many things that I want,
pay for my life, pay school fees, buy many things that I like, and so on. It’s very useful.

various skills such as communication, teaching, reducing stress, saving time, and other skills.
It’s very good for me.
Finally, If I choose a tutor, the salary is reasonable. I can teach in many places such as my
house, a student’s house, a classroom, and so on. It’s very convenient.
About a waiter, Although it helps me make a lot of money, I don’t choose it because the

score; dismiss from school)

Sample 1
Punishment for students who copy from others in the exam: 0 marks; reduce 50% of the marks; out
from school.
In my opinion, zero marks are the best option because of the following reasons.
Firstly, students who copy others in the exam need to be punished strictly because they break the
rules of the exam. This is fraudulent in the exam. Therefore, this form of punishment is suitable in
order to deter and create strict school discipline.

Secondly, zero marks are also an effective way to educate students about honesty. It will help them
become useful citizens in the future. In addition, strict disciplines require students to follow the
rules of the class and during the exam and will be punished if they break the rules. Therefore,
classrooms are managed well, accordingly students respect the teacher and get along with each
other.

On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose to reduce 50% of marks because this
punishment is quite light. So, students will be able to repeat the fault next time. Moreover, I don’t
also choose to fire students from school because I think schools should give students a chance to
correct their mistakes.

About reduce % of the score, Although It’s a great way to reduce cheating in the exam. I
don’t choose it because It isn’t a serious enough punishment. Some students can don’t cheat
in the exam again. Besides, some students are very lazy and don’t want to study. They still
cheat in the exam to make the score. It isn’t suitable.
About getting out of school, Although It’s a good solution to reduce cheating in the exam. I
don’t choose it because It is a too serious punishment. If this is the first time, students cheat
