Week 2
In about 140 words, write about the benefits of the Internet.

The Internet is a global information system, which is commonly used because it brings many
benefits to everyone. Firstly, this global network is an unlimited source of useful information
and its easy to acquire information that you desire by searching through Google, Facebook or
other search engines. Also, we can keep ourselves up-to-date with latest news of the world on
the Internet. Furthermore, the Internet can turn us into global citizens; we can keep in touch
with our foreign friends by going online for video chats or sending email messages . Another
benefit of the Internet is entertainment. For example, after long study hours at school, I usually chill out by listening to music, playing games or catching movies on my favourite websites.
There are many other sources of entertainment the Internet provides that can make our lives
easier and happier. To sum up, the Internet is really advantageous to each and everyone of us.

sports.
Playing sports brings many benefits to everyone for the following three reasons. Firstly, not
only do such physical activities give you a healthy life and keep your body fit, but they can
also make you more active. To illustrate, it can lower your chance of getting a serious illness
such as heart attack or high blood pressure. Furthermore, it is commonly believed that enjoying
outdoor sports can help you relieve stress. Personally, after long study hours at school I usually
ask my friends for a badminton match, which is super fun and pleases me a lot. On top of
that, there are some sports such as football, volleyball or basketball that can help you develop
durability, quickness and at the same time teach you how to improve team spirit and group
work skills. To sum up, playing sports is really interesting and advantageous, and I recommend

she also provided me with a right moral compass and educated me to treat everyone suitably.
She is a very protective, though not indulgent parent, always fearing for her childrens security

Among members in my family, my mother is the one to whom I feel closest. Her name is Lien.
She is a beautiful middle-aged woman with a round-shaped face, long black hair and a graceful
smile. She works as an English teacher, and not only did she teach me English, but she also provided me with a right moral compass and educated me to treat everyone suitably. She is a very
protective, though not indulgent parent, always fearing for her childrens security and giving
us all of whatever is necessary for our life . Also, as a kind-hearted lady, she often invites the
neighbor kids around, gives them candies and lets us play together. She is a role model on the
way to care for others and Ive always tried to be as kind as her. To sum up, I love my mother
so much, and without her, I wouldnt be who Im today .

In about 140 words, write about a festival in Vietnam.

In my country, there are many amazing festivals, and my all-time favorite one is the MidAutumn Festival. The festival takes place in the 15th of August in Lunar year, when the brightest full moon in the year appears. At that time, the weather is just about perfect: it is neither
too hot nor too cold, which is well-suited for outdoor activities. These days, adults usually go
shopping for fruits, cakes, candies and flowers, while children gather together to show off their
new toys. At night, as soon as the moon rises, streets are filled with people. They sing aloud,
play games and enjoy the lion dancing. On top of that, there is a super delicious traditional
type of cake in the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is called "mooncakes". Interestingly, people
dont usually buy mooncakes for themselves, but give them to their relatives as presents. To
sum up, I love the Mid-Autumn Festival very much and always look forward to it.

In about 140 words, write about the differences between

a traditional Vietnamese family and a modern Vietnamese family.
A traditional Vietnamese family can be distinguished from a modern one in three main ways.
Firstly, a traditional family is an extended family where there is more than one generation living
together under one roof. But now a modern family is usually a nuclear family, consisting of only
parents and one to two children. Furthermore, in a traditional family, the father takes all the
responsibility for the whole family. In other words, he works and earns money to support the
whole family, while the women tasks are within the house such as bearing children and doing
all housework. Now in a modern family both husband and wife are equal; they share household
chores and make money together. Finally, as members in a nuclear family are more tightly knit,
they are more willing to build up a healthy family life. In summary, above are some differences
between a traditional Vietnamese family and a modern one.

nearby and taught me how to play this game. I took to it rather quickly and really enjoyed
the playful matches with my dad. I think badminton appeals to me for three main reasons.
Firstly, this game enables me to keep fit and stay healthy, helping me avoid serious illness such
as obesity or heart attack. Another benefit of playing badminton is that it makes me come out
of my shell: I can make more friends who also fancy badminton. Finally, playing badminton is
absolutely entertaining. It helps me relax after long study hours. In conclusion, badminton is
advantageous both physically and mentally, and I recommend it to everyone.

I am an energetic person who loves playing various sports, but badminton is really my cup of
tea in leisure time. When I was at my primary school ages, my father took me to a schoolyard
nearby and taught me how to play this game. I took to it rather quickly and really enjoyed the
playful matches with my dad. I think badminton appeals to me for three main reasons. Firstly,
this game enables me to keep fit and stay healthy, helping me avoid serious illness such as
obesity or heart attack. Another benefit of playing badminton is that it makes me come out
of my shell: I can make more friends who also fancy badminton. Finally, playing badminton is
absolutely entertaining. It helps me relax after long study hours. In conclusion, badminton is
advantageous both physically and mentally , and I recommend it to everyone.

the way how to treat people properly. Secondly, parents play a crucial role in forming a childs
emotional life. For example, if a child feels frustrated at school, he usually prefers sharing his
feelings with close family members to telling his teacher about the matter. Finally, our parents
always prioritize us. Even if we have a great relationship with teachers at school or mentors
in business, they have to transmit their knowledge to many people other than us, while our
parents would do anything to help whenever we need them. In conclusion, I think parents are
better teachers than anyone else.

Week 21
In about 140 words, write about the advantages of studying at univeristy in Vietnam.
It is commonly believed in Vietnam that high school graduates must attend university to
succeed because university brings them three main benefits. Firstly, in university, students are
provided with the theoretical knowledge required to solve real-life problems. For example, a
business university teaches prospective accountants about the balance sheet which will become
a tool that they will use frequently at work. Another benefit of studying at university is the
education of soft skills. Recently, Vietnamese universities have been adopting more and more
soft skill training programs for students. For example, there is a new subject called Skill Development at the Foreign Trade University, which helps learners acquire various skills such

Week 24
In about 140 words, write about the importance of the

family in ones life.
The family plays a key role in the life of everyone in three aspects. Firstly, it is the most
crucial factor in shaping our personality. Personally, at my young ages, my mother taught me
how to behave properly while my father showed me the way to become a gentleman. All of
these lessons will continue affecting me for the rest of my life. Secondly, the family acts as ones
sidekick. In other words, our family members are always willing to lend a helping hand, and
home is the only place where we feel peaceful. Finally, it is our families that motivate us to
always strive for the best. That is because when were young, we want to achieve something to
make our parents proud, and when we are adults, we work hard to earn money so that our children are provided with a comfortable life. In conclusion, families are very important to all of us.
