1. Describe a historical building. You should say:


- What the building is
- Where it is located
- What the significance of this building is
- Describe your experience with the building
(What the building is) Historical sites, relics and buildings have remained an important
kind of cultural tourism resource as they are always a centre of attraction and attention
from the tourists and authorities. Among many historical buildings in Vietnam, Hue
Citadel Complex stands out as the most prominent one. Therefore, I would like to share
some information about such a stunning complex like this.
(Where it is located) The citadel complex is based in Hue, which was capital of
Vietnam for hundreds of years of feudalism. Many buildings are condensed into just
one complex, conjuring up such a large and stunning place of residence for the kings, in
which the Meridian Gate is the most important building that leads people to the citadel. It
was modelled after the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. Like the
original in Beijing, the Meridian Gate in Huế is composed of a main, central section and
two protruding wings, representing que towers, traditional towers marking the entrance
of palaces, temples and tombs.
(What the significance of this building is) The complex holds great cultural and
historical values as it has witnessed many monarchs of Vietnam as well as the transfer
of power between the last monarch and the democratic government. Also, its cultural
value is also of great importance as most cultural characteristics of Vietnam are
presented in and reflected by the complex such as the Ying-Yang balance, the use of
patterns, colours and materials.
(Describe your experience with the building) I have never had the chance to pay a visit
to this building before. However, having heard of its significance, I have nurtured the
dream of leaving my footprints in this UNESCO heritage site.

2. Describe a person who is good at a foreign language. You should say:


- Who that is
- What languages that person speaks
- How you knew he was good at that foreign language
- Why you think that person’s ability to speak that language is impressive
(Who that is) As a student majoring in linguistics, everyone around me has a high
command of at least one foreign language which might be English, Mandarin or French,
which are three most popular foreign languages learnt in Vietnam. However, it is John, who
is able to use all these three languages fluently, that I admire the most so far.
(What languages that person speaks) Well, John has acquired a high degree of
proficiency in English, Mandarin and French. He is the only person I know that is able to

+ Khóa học IELTS offline tháng 5, khai giảng từ 16/5 của thầy Bách: https://tinyurl.com/y5ju5qn5
+ Khóa online IELTS Package tháng 5: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package
speak fluently up to three different languages. He was brought up bilingual as his father is
British and his mother is Vietnamese. He started to learn Mandarin and French at the same
time when he was my classmate in grade 8.
(How you knew he was good at that foreign language) John is the president of the
International Exchange Club of my university, of which I am a member. I, as a vice president,
have cooperate with John to carry out cultural exchange sessions with students from many
countries, notably France and China. That he used French to communicate with French
students and Mandarin to talk to Chinese ones left me astonished and when he used both
languages at the same time, I was at a loss for words because it was such a jaw-dropping
experience for me.
(Why you think that person’s ability to speak that language is impressive) It is common
knowledge that many a student struggles to learn English, which is deemed the universal
language as it is used for all official international documents. While learning English alone is
a great challenge for us, he can study French and Chinese, which are of no relations to each
other. Therefore, I would say that his ability to use up to 3 foreign languages can leave

- What the problem was
- When it was
- How you solved it
- And explain why this experience was memorable
(What the problem was) As a member of the International Exchange Club of the
school, I oftentimes encounter with some problems related to the preparation process of
organising cultural exchange sessions. As far as I could remember, the one that could
have brought our biggest cultural annual fair into disrepute was when a member of
my group who was deemed stalwart did not prepare anything until the last day before
the day of the fair.
(When it was) My club has taken great pride in this annual fair as thanks to it, we have
had the chance to expand our social circle with many prestigious universities over the
world. This fair traditionally falls on the last Saturday of March. That problem was not
an exception because it happened right on the last Friday of March two years ago when
she told me that she had not even touched the documents that I had given her up to 2
weeks prior to the deadline, which really got on my nerves and made my blood boil.
(How I solved it) Luckily, thanks to the Internet, I quickly made response to this
problem by helping her finish it soon rather than pouring scorn on her. The Google
Drive Sheet allows us to work together at the same time and keep track of what has been
written by people. By this, both she and I could interact smoothly with each other and get
the timeline done in just 3 hours for the fair taking place on the next day. As I did not
want anybody to be on edge, I had decided not to tell anyone else about this problem
before the fair came to a close. Not until the reflection that I shared with people about
this, and my story left them stunned. Everyone said that both she and I deserved praise as
we were able to rise to the challenge right in time.
(Explain why this experience was memorable) I would say that this experience is the
most both positive and negative memorable one that I have ever had in my student life.
For the negative side, this let me know I was too soft on people as I allowed them to miss
their deadline. For the positive side, I realised that although my blood was boiling, I was
able to keep calm and joined hands to finish the timeline with her so that the fair could be
deliver expected outcome.

say:
- Who you shared with
- What you shared
- When you shared it with them
- And explain why you think it is memorable
(Who you shared with) As a leader of the International Exchange Club of my
university, I am responsible of passing essential skills and information to members of my
group so that they know what should be done and what outcomes they are expected to
deliver. All these members had just been admitted into our club after such a 3-round
thriller full of ups and downs that explored the most outstanding applicants that pushed
themselves to the limits to deliver the best performance that left the recruitment board
astonished.
(What you shared with them) It is the leadership and organisation skills that I shared
with them. As they were fresh members, little could they have a good grasp of the
club’s activities and know what they were supposed to do. Therefore, it was essential that
information about activities as well as the way to handle those activities be informed to
them.
(When you shared it with them) It was on the orientation day that I decided to talk
about this as I can recognise that that these skills are instrumental in maintaining a

(And explain why it was memorable) The chance to share leadership and organisations
skills with newbies of my club was beyond memorable because I was the first second-

- and why you would like to win this prize.
(What the prize is for) I have nurtured the dreamed of winning Miss Universe since I
was a young 6-year old girl. Miss Universe is an annual international beauty pageant that
is run by the American-based Miss Universe Organization. It airs in more than 190
countries worldwide and seen by more than half a billion people annually. Along
with Miss World, Miss International, and Miss Earth, Miss Universe is one of the Big
Four international beauty pageants.
(How you know about it) Miss Universe is relatively popular here in Vietnam since
Vietnam had the honour to host the Miss Universe 2008 in Nha Trang, which was also
the time when I first heard of this beauty pageant. Also in that year, Vietnam made it to
the top 8 of the competition, which was its best result before being eclipsed by H’Hen
Nie, who set a new milestone for Vietnam’s performance at Miss Universe by making it
to top 5 in 2018.
(What you would have to do to win it) I am now a 19-year-old girl majoring in
International Business at the Foreign Trade University, which is deemed the source of
beauties in Vietnam as a considerable proportion of Vietnamese beauty pageant
titleholders come from my university. I would make use of this chance to expand my
social circle with my predecessors who have gone far at beauty pageants to learn from
them. Also, I would go to great lengths to improve my weight.
(And why you would like to win this prize) All beauties clinching Miss Universe title
have proved influential in community service as well as gained a certain position in the
fashion industry. I would like to win the competition so that I can voice my concern
over the lack of education in mountainous areas in Vietnam and in other countries in the
world as well as use the money to set up a charity foundation for education. H’Hen Nie
has proved that education is the easiest way which people can go to lift themselves out
of poverty.

• What you do when you are together
And explain why he/she makes you remember.
(What this person looks like) Well, the person I’d like to talk to you about is a teenager
who imprinted my memory with so much to remember, Jane. She must be one of the
nicest and most down-to-earth people I have ever known in my life. She is a person who
always appears resplendent in stunning dresses in parties and is always a hub of
attraction and the star of the show. With her long curly hair and her stunning voice, she
looks like a truly diva.

(When and where you met this person) I came across Jane at an event of my
company’s headquarter two years ago. She, as always, was the most prominent one in the
party with her red evening gown, which left me astonished at first sight. It just so
happened that Jane and I were in the same group for activities of the event and we started
to get to know each other.
(What you do when you are together) After the party, we still kept in touch and
became good friends. Whenever we meet, we always head to Phuc Long, one of the most
famous tea and coffee chains in Ho Chi Minh city, and spill the tea. However, we
sometimes travel with each other, meaning that we have to join hands to work on the
itinerary.
(And explain why she/he makes you remember) The very first impression of hers on
me was her red gown. It was crowned the best gown in the event, and the way she
walked to the stage was far beyond anyone’s imagination as it was not far from
professional whatsoever. Also, she had a beautiful voice, which left many in the event,
including me, at a loss for words.

Describe your dream home. You should say:


 Where the house is
 What the house includes
 How it looks
 And explain why you like to live in this house
(Where the house is) I’ve dreamed of having a house in the resort city of Danang since it
was crowned the most liveable city in Vietnam, and has won this title for 5 years,
leaving bar behind its rivals such as Vung Tau, which is my hometown, and Ho Chi
Minh city, which is the wealthiest city in Vietnam. Danang is such a stunning coastal city
with magnificent scenery of the sea and the mountains. It’s natural and modern at the
same time, that’s why I would love to live there.
(What the house includes) As a person with a diminutive frame, I would also love to live
in a small house without any floors. Yet, it should comprise necessities as well as other
kinds of other supplementary things like a pool or a garden. 30% of my house should be
covered by greenery because it will calm down the temperature significantly when
heatwaves, along with high humidity, affect the region during the summer.
(How it looks) The walls will be painted in white, which makes my house look a lot brighter
and reduces the absorption of heat. Also, the doors will be all glassy because there is
nothing more elegant than glass. I follow the minimalism of the Japanese, and I am lazy,
so there will be nothing much inside my house apart from a kitchen, creamy lights, and
some very essential necessities. There is no question of paintings or complicated
furniture being in my house.
(And explain why you like to live in this house) From what I’ve said, there are two main
reasons. This house is located in the city of Danang, which is a coastal city with beautiful
beaches and mountains. The house is built in deference to Japanese minimalism and I’m
a couch potato who does not want to spend time on tidying up the house too frequently.

twice his size at the world championship.
Mặc dù có tướng người nhỏ con, nhưng Roy đã chiến thắng một trong số các tay vật nổi
tiếng nhất thế giới với thân hình to gấp 2 anh ấy.

Tuyen, a ASEAN Classical winning chorister, was the person who I made a lot of efforts
to be like. She was one of the most recognised members of my church back then due to
her ability to sing as she was always chosen for the leading part as well as soloing in
most important events. As the choir comprised a lot of people from different age groups
in charge of different roles. After the audition, I became a member of the soprano group.
(How old were you then) I was a 14-year-old girl back then while Tuyen was 24, meaning that
she’s exactly 10 years older than me.
(What that person had) Tuyen, at the age of 24, graduated from the Institute of Music with
honours as she aced her graduation exam with the maximum score of 10.0. On top of
that, with such an outstanding performance during the whole process of her at the
institute, she was chosen as the only Vietnamese representative in the ASEAN Classical
competition, which has been well-known for giving birth to and unearthing an
immense number of talents in ASEAN.
(What you wanted to be like that person) Of course, it was her voice that I wanted to have. I
went to great lengths to make my voice like hers, and I was nearly successful until
someone else told me to use my own voice as it’d sound a lot more natural, which made
me give up her voice and started to sharpen my own one. Moreover, I also dreamed of
winning the ASEAN Classical championship like her as it brought her fame and wealth.
