Thi trên máy tính

1. Trong 3’, có cần trả lời hết 6 câu không?

– Không cần trả lời hết 6 câu. Giám khảo

đánh giá khả năng nói thay vì số câu. Có
thể hoàn thành 1 topic (3 câu) cũng được.
Tuy nhiên việc hoàn thành 3 câu trong 3’ đôi
khi sẽ khó hơn do yêu cầu người nói cần mở
rộng ý và trả lời sâu cho 3 câu hỏi đó. -> Nên
trả lời 6 câu

Write a letter to your gramma to thank her for the birthday gift.

Dear Grandma,

I am writing this letter to thank you for your present at my birthday party. I was really grateful that you
prepared such a wonderful present for me.

On that day, everything was ready. However, I was worried that you were absent. Then, Grandpa came
to me to tell me that you had gone down with a slight flu and sent me a birthday present. I was hopeful
that you would recover soon. The birthday present made me happy. It was a Sherlock Holmes novel
that I had dreamt of for a long time. I was also surprised that you had known my wish. I would keep it
carefully. Thank you so much for your meaningful preparation. I would come to see you as soon as
possible.

Hope that you and Grandpa are still OK. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love,
Thank you sample letter

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Baker, the cashier of your company.
I am a commuter and every day I take the bus Route 133 to work. Last Friday morning. When the bus almost
reached the stop where I was to get off, I suddenly felt dizzy and then I lost consciousness. When I came to, I
found myself in St. Mary's Hospital, attended by my wife. The doctor told me it was Mr. Baker who had sent me
to the hospital and informed my wife of my condition. Mr. Baker happened to be on the same bus, but I have
never met him.

My wife and I were very much grateful to Mr. Baker. Please send my thankfulness to him. We feel very much
proud of your company for having such a good employee.

I do hope that your company will reward Mr. Baker for his action.

Yours faithfully,
 Cảm ơn các bạn
