#1
(12/11/2020) Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free
to do whatever they wanted to do. To what extent do you agree or not?
PHÂN TÍCH BÀI

- Đề này chắc khiến ối người chết… (lặng) trong phòng thi. Bản thân mình nghĩ đề này không
quá thử thách vì nó…hiển nhiên quá. Không luật lệ, không pháp luật thì dĩ nhiên sẽ loạn →
cách viết đơn giản nhất sẽ là đồng ý hoàn toàn với quan điểm trên, và 2 đoạn body của mình sẽ
là:
• Body 1: không có luật lệ (a society without the presence of laws) thì xã hội tất yếu sẽ
loạn → đoạn này chỉ cần nêu ví dụ để chứng minh là được
o Ví dụ 1: cộng đồng có thể sống trong sợ hãi nếu một người có thể mưu sát
người khác mà không phải nhận hình phạt tương xứng (receive just
punishments)
o Ví dụ 2: nếu ai đó không bị phạt khi lái xe lúc say và gây ra tai nạn thì việc này
không chỉ là một tiền lệ xấu cho những người khác trong cộng đồng (set a bad
example for other members of the public), mà thậm chí còn khuyến khích việc đó
xảy ra trong tương lai
o → Chốt lại: những ví dụ trên chứng minh rằng một xã hội mà không có luật lệ thì
sẽ gây ra sự bất ổn trong cộng đồng và khiến người dân nơm nớp lo sợ
• Body 2: nên có luật lệ → nêu ra giá trị của luật pháp
o Lợi ích 1: duy trì trật tự trong xã hội (maintain order in society)
▪ Mọi người vẫn có thể làm gì họ muốn, miễn là tuân thủ (abide by) luật
pháp
o Lợi ích 2: luật pháp mang tính răn đe với những hành động sai trái (play a
deterrent role against wrongdoings) → chỉ khi người phạm tội bị phạt thì các vấn
đề xã hội mới được giảm nhẹ
o → tuy vậy nhưng luật pháp nên linh hoạt chứ không nên cứng nhắc, khi có
chuyện xảy ra thì cần xem xét bản chất cũng như hoàn cảnh cụ thể của tội cũng
như người phạm tội để có thể đưa ra hình phạt tương thích
- Bài này bạn lưu ý một chút khi cho ví dụ ở đoạn 1 thì nên dùng If loại 2 (câu điều kiện
không có thật ở hiện tại) để viết cho ý nếu không có luật thì sao nhé
- Chủ đề laws vốn là một chủ đề khó trong task 2, vừa khó về ý tưởng, vừa khó về từ vựng.
Riêng về từ vựng thì chuẩn bị một số cụm từ cần nhất sau sẽ giúp bạn tự tin hơn trong phòng
thi:
• Tội (danh từ) – các từ để thay thế cho từ crime phổ thông quá rồi
• Phạm tội (động từ) – các cụm từ để thể hiện ai đó phạm tội (ví dụ như commit a crime)
• Tội phạm (danh từ) – từ chỉ người phạm tội (thay thế cho criminal)
• Các hình phạt…

It is often argued that a lawless society could not function properly if individuals had too much
freedom to do whatever they wanted to. I completely agree with this school of thought.
Admittedly, a society without the presence of laws and regulations is bound to face chaos.
For instance, the public would live in fear if a person could murder someone else because of
personal reasons but did not have to receive just punishments afterwards. Similarly, if
someone were not punished appropriately when they drunk drove and caused traffic accidents,
such an incident would not only leave extreme loss to the families of the victims, set a bad
example for other members of the public, but also encourage the same event to happen in the
future. These examples serve to show that a lawless society could cause social unrest and
put its citizens at risk.
For the above reason, I believe that laws and regulations must be set in motion to maintain
order in society. People still have their own freedom and can do whatever they wish to as long
as they abide by the laws. In addition to this, the laws would play a deterrent role against
wrongdoings. Only when law-breakers are punished for their crimes could social issues be
mitigated. Having said that, I believe that laws should not always be fixed or rigid, but need to
be flexible and take into consideration the nature and the circumstances, among others, of each
crime to ensure fair and just punishments.
In conclusion, I reaffirm that a society could not function smoothly like a well-oiled machine
were regulations, laws or rules not set in place.
1. Lawless society = society without the presence of laws: xã hội không có luật lệ
2. School of thought: lối suy nghĩ
3. Be bound to: gặp phải
4. Chaos: hỗn loạn
5. Receive just punishments: trừng phạt tương thích
6. Set a bad example for: là một tiền đề xấu cho
7. Serve to show that: để chứng minh rằng
8. Social unrest: bất ổn xã hội
9. Set in motion = set in place: được thực thi
10. Maintain order: duy trì ổn định
11. Abide by: tuân thủ
12. Play a deterrent role: có vai trò răn đe / ngăn cản
13. Rigid: cứng nhắc
14. Well-oiled machine: bộ máy trơn tru

2012 to 2015 (US dollars per tonne)

PHÂN TÍCH BÀI
Overview: bình thường line graph không khó nhưng bài này chắc là một trong những bài thử
thách task 1 khó nhất trong cả năm nay chứ không chỉ riêng dạng line graph. Tuy vậy nếu
nắm vững cách nhìn trends và features thì sẽ dễ dàng có các phân tích sau
• Feature 1 (so sánh giữa 2 nước): tiền gạo của Thái Lan cao hơn tiền gạo của Việt
Nam
• Feature 2 (so sánh giữa các năm): tiền gạo của năm 2012 và 2013 nhìn chung cao
hơn của năm 2014 và 2015
Body 1: Body 2:
2012 & 2013 2014 & 2015
- In Jan of 2012, Thai rice (500 dollars), - The price of rice in VN remained quite
higher than 400 dollars of Vietnamese rice. constant at 330 dollars in 2014, and
These numbers dropped in the second experienced an overall increase in 2015
quarter and then recovered and fluctuated at - That of Thailand rose irregularly and peaked
their initial levels in the remainder of the year at 470 dollars in December 2014. The same
- In 2013, prices of rice in both countries pattern was repeated in 2015
decreased continuously to 400 dollars (Thai)
and 300 (VN) in December
The line graphs compare Thailand and Vietnam in terms of the monthly prices of their exported
rice between 2012 and 2015.
It can be seen that rice from Thailand was worth more than its Vietnamese counterpart during
the period given. It is also noticeable that the prices of rice exports in these two countries were
generally higher in 2012 and 2013 than in the last 2 years.
In January of 2012, rice from Thailand was exported at the price of 500 dollars per tonne, higher
than 400 dollars of Vietnamese rice. Despite their dramatic drops in the second quarter, these
numbers then recovered and fluctuated around their respective initial levels in the remainder of
the year. In 2013, there was a sharp decrease in the price of rice exports from both Thailand
and Vietnam, to 400 dollars and below 350 dollars per tonne in December respectively.
In 2014, the price of Vietnamese exported rice remained constant at around 330 dollars per
tonne, while an overall increase was recorded in 2015. Meanwhile, that of Thailand
experienced an irregular rise, reaching its peak of 470 dollars in December 2014, before
continuing this trend in 2015.
1. Counterpart: dùng để chỉ đối tượng đang được đưa ra so sánh với chủ thể
2. In the remainder of: trong phần còn lại

QUARTER 1 | PART 1
1. Tree
1. What kind of trees do people usually plant in your country?

2. Have you ever planted a tree?
3. What kinds of trees do you plant?
4. Do you like planting trees? Why?
1. What kind of trees do people usually plant in your country?

Well, there are just too many types of ornamental and fruit-bearing trees, some of which are
watermelon, persimmon and papaya, just to name a few. I really love the diversity of trees we
have in our country.
• Ornamental: trang trí
• Fruit-bearing: (cây) ra quả
• To name a few: liệt kê một số ít (còn rất nhiều nữa)
2. Have you ever planted a tree?

I have never grown any trees before since we don’t have much vacant space at home. I do
plant some small herbs and vegetables though, like coriander and mint as well as lettuce.
• Vacant: trống
• Herbs: thảo mộc
3. What kinds of trees do you plant?

Well, as I shared earlier, I don’t grow any trees at the moment. I do hope my future house will
have a small garden so that I can plant some fruit-bearing trees as well as flowers. I have
always wanted a garden like that.
4. Do you like planting trees? Why?

I have never tried planting trees before so I’m not really sure whether I’d like it but right now I
can imagine it being challenging in terms of the amount of knowledge required but
simultaneously rewarding when seeing a seed growing day by day.
• In terms of: về khía cạnh nào đó
• Simultaneously: đồng thời / cùng lúc
• Rewarding: vui vẻ / mãn nguyện

2. Farming
1. Have you visited a farm?

2. What kind of farm do you like?
3. Do you think farming is important?
4. Did you do farm work when you were young?
1. Have you visited a farm?

Yes, I used to pay a visit to an orchard in Hanoi. I was surprised by various types of fruit there.
I also once had the opportunity to visit a poultry farm as well.
• Pay a visit to: ghé thăm
• Orchard: vườn cây / trang trại trồng cây ăn quả
• A poultry farm: trang trại nuôi gia cầm
2. What kind of farm do you like?

Oh, I absolutely love orchards given the fact that I’ve always liked eating fruit. Plus, the
experience of wandering around an orchard, hand-picking a fresh fruit and tasting it is just really
rewarding.
• Given the fact that: bởi vì
• Rewarding: mãn nguyện / sung sướng
3. Do you think farming is important?

Absolutely yes and I think it is actually one of the most crucial jobs in the world. First, farming or
agriculture is the main source of food we consume every day. Without having enough food, a
great number of people would suffer from starvation. Second, it provides employment
opportunities for many people whose livelihoods depend on farming, which then helps
contribute to the economic growth of any country.
• Starvation: đói
• Livelihood: kế sinh nhai
4. Did you do farm work when you were young?

No. To be honest, I have never taken part in any farming activities. I live in the urban area and
there aren’t many opportunities to do those things.

3. New Year
1. How do you celebrate New Year?

2. Do you still remember a new year that you celebrated?
3. Do you have any ceremonies to celebrate the New Year in your country?
4. Why do people think New year is a new beginning?
1. How do you celebrate New Year?

Well, my family and I usually travel somewhere to celebrate New Year since it is the only time
we have some time off. Those family trips allow us to take a break from the daily grind and
provide us with a change of scenery.
• The daily grind: cuộc sống thường nhật
• A change of scenery: thay đổi phong cảnh, cảnh vật
2. Do you still remember a new year that you celebrated?

Well, the one that I can still recall vividly was the New Year of 2020 when my family and I had
our first family trip. It was also the first time my family members went on a plane and so they
were very excited. So was I. Luckily, it was such a wonderful trip and we had many beautiful
and unforgettable memories.
• Recall: nhớ
• Vividly: rõ ràng
3. Do you have any ceremonies to celebrate the New Year in your country?
Yes. Prior to New Year, we have to clean the house thoroughly to bid farewell to all the
negative things of the old year. We also have a program called “Tao Quan” on the last day of
the year that affords all Vietnamese citizens a chance to reflect on what’s happened during the
year. It’s become a tradition for families to gather around and watch the show. We also have a
spectacular 15-minute fireworks display on New Year’s Eve. There are many other traditions
that accompany this special occasion.
• Prior to = before: trước cái gì
• Bid farewell to: tạm biệt cái gì
• Afford: cung cấp (cơ hội)
• Reflect: nhìn lại
• Display: màn trình diễn
4. Why do people think New year is a new beginning?

Well, I reckon that many think this way because they believe a new year has new things and
new adventures in store for them and as a result, they often have high hopes and expectations
for what to come.
• Reckon: nghĩ rằng
• Have something in store (for someone): có điều gì đó đang chờ (ai đó)

home. I have some landscape paintings that are pleasing to the eye and some scented
candles, among others. There is much available space and so it gives me a sense of freedom
whenever I’m home.
• Minimalist lifestyle: phong cách tối giản
• Pleasing to the eye: hợp mắt
2. What kind of decoration do you prefer?

I don’t think I have any specific preference for any decoration right now, but I have a principal
when picking out any decorative item, which is whether it is multi-functional. By that I mean it
is not just for show. I want to have something useful that can be utilized from time to time as
well.
• Multi-functional: nhiều công dụng
• For show: để trưng bày
3. Do Vietnamese people like redecorating their home?

Well, to be honest, I don’t know the first thing about this area since it’s not something I’m
normally concerned about. I suppose some people do want to have a major change in their
living space after having lived there for a while whereas some may only make minor
alterations when necessary.
• Not know the first thing about: không biết gì về (cái gì)
• Minor alterations: thay đổi nhỏ
4. What's your favorite color when decorating your home?

Well, I’d normally go for something brown. Different shades of brown work for me. I find them
pretty easy on the eye and not too vibrant or dominant when mixed with other colors.
• Easy on the eye = pleasing to the eye: hợp mắt
• Vibrant: sặc sỡ
• Dominant: lấn át (các thứ khác)

and have a laugh together.
2. What kind of TV programs do you like?

Well, entertainment programs are my favorites. They really help me unwind after a day of hard
work. It’s also interesting that some entertainment shows nowadays integrate content related to
social issues into their broadcast. So, they offer more edutainment than those that purely focus
on the "fun” factor.
• Unwind: thư giãn / giải trí
• Integrate: kết hợp
• Edutainment: học và giải trí

school because there are many benefits students can reap from it.
• Mandatory: bắt buộc
• Reap benefits from something: thu được lợi ích từ cái gì
2. Do you think maths is difficult?

For me personally, I don’t find it challenging to learn math because I can understand the logic
behind how everything works. But I know it is not the same for some other people. Some of
many friends really struggled with it back to the time when we were still students.
• Struggle with something: vật lộn với cái gì
3. What can people do with maths in their daily life？

Well, there are actually various real-life applications of math. Take baking for example. In order
to bake something, one’d need to measure all the ingredients involved in the recipe or
otherwise it may not work. Another example is when going shopping, one’d need to take into
account all the related costs. There are many more but I don’t think we can list out all the
possibilities.
• Measure: đo lường
• Take into account: cân nhắc
4. Do you learn maths now? Why/why not?

Oh, I don’t because my job has nothing to do with it and I don’t intend to do anything that
largely revolves around maths or numbers in the future.
• Have nothing to do with something: không liên quan gì tới cái gì
• Revolve around: liên quan tới

• Respite: thư giãn / nghỉ ngơi
• Eye relaxation – relax the eye: thư giãn mắt
• Stretch: vươn vai / duỗi cơ

entertainment, among others. Those kinds of things help me unwind and relieve stress.
• Unwind: thư giãn
• Relieve stress: xả stress
3. Do you take a nap when you are taking your rest?

It depends on the time of the day. I only have a 30-minute nap after lunch before resuming
work in the afternoon. I think many other Vietnamese people share the same habit.

Well, I feel refreshed and energized after having a nap. That’s why I have the habit of napping

conversation made my day.
• Lose track of time: không để ý thời gian

2. What do you do to stay happy?

I am a positive person. I think about positive moments in my life quite often. I also try to see the

remain calm and not get too sorrowful or depressed at challenging times.
• Sorrowful / depressed: sầu não / buồn khổ
3. Can you stay happy all the time?

Absolutely no. There are times when I’m down in the dumps. I think it is totally acceptable to
be sad. But I’m a positive person by nature and so I always remind myself of positive memories
to lift my mood at times like that.
• Be down in the dumps: buồn / tậm trạng không tốt
• Lift somebody’s mood: làm tâm trạng tốt lên
4. Is it important to be happy?
Wow, this is rather a difficult question as it is quite abstract. I do think being happy is absolutely
crucial. By having a positive mindset, I think we can lead a happier life that is full of beautiful
moments and great friendships. We can also achieve more things in life if we are happy
individuals.
• Abstract: trừu tượng
• Mindset: suy nghĩ / tư duy
• Lead a happy life: sống một cuộc sống hạnh phúc

1. Do you often get up early in the morning?

I used to be an early riser back to the time when I was still a student. But now I usually burn
the midnight oil to complete tasks at work and so waking up early in the morning is rather
challenging for me.
• An early riser: người dậy sớm
• Burn the midnight oil: thức đêm (để làm gì)
2. What do you usually do when you get up early?

Nothing much really. I usually do some stretching and prepare some light breakfast to recharge
my energy before continuing with other tasks. I tend to skip those activities if I get up late
though.
• Recharge one’s energy: nạp năng lượng
3. Do you get up early on weekends?

No. I usually have time off on weekends and so I let myself indulge in sleeping a bit. Plus, it
has been very cold in the morning recently. I want to sleep more than usual.
• Have time off: có thời gian rảnh
• Indulge in: tận hưởng
4. Which morning do you like best in a week?

Those are when I’m alone and can sing without any embarrassment.

up any singing lessons. But who knows, only time will tell.
• Only time will tell: thời gian sẽ có câu trả lời

4. Do you like to read by yourself or with other people?

I’m not a big reader, but I do enjoy engrossing in a book from time to time. I usually read when
there is something negative going on and reading allows me to take my mind off all the
negativity.
• A big reader: người thích đọc sách
• Engross in something: nhập tâm vào cái gì
• Take somebody’s mind off something: không bận tâm về cái gì
2. Do you like to read at home or in other places?

I prefer to read in a quiet environment, or somewhere with soft background music. I find it easier
to concentrate on reading that way. Things like noise or people’s movements often distract me
easily.
3. In what place do you think it is difficult to read?

Well in crowded areas with a high volume of traffic. There is just so much noise from the
surrounding that it is really easy for you to get distracted.
• The surrounding: môi trường xung quanh
• Distract: gây xao nhãng
4. Do you like to read by yourself or with other people?

Well, I actually enjoy both but I usually read alone by myself in my free time. It is challenging for

like to do so with strangers.

Unfortunately. no. I have the memory of a goldfish, so it is a bit challenging for me to
remember things like dates and people’s names, among others.
• Have the memory of a goldfish: não cá vàng
2. How do you remember people's names?

I really don’t have any special technique or mnemonic for that. I usually try to pay attention to
what the person is saying or connect the new name with something I’m familiar with. Such
methods help the name stick in my memory.
• Mnemonic: mẹo / thuật ghi nhớ
• Pay attention to: chú ý
• Stick: ghi nhớ
3. How do you feel when people can't remember your name?

Haha that has happened before. I don’t take it personally whenever that happens though
because I myself also have trouble recalling names sometimes, especially of those whom I
meet only once and leave no strong impression on me.
• Take it personally: để bụng (bận tậm về cái gì)
• Leave a strong impression on somebody: để lại ấn tượng mạnh với ai

There isn’t much to see from the window of my house because there are mostly tall houses and
high-rise buildings in the surrounding neighborhood.
2. Do you like to watch the scenery from your window?

As I shared earlier, there isn’t much to see, so my answer here would be no. However, I enjoy
the view from the rooftop of my house because it overlooks the city.
• Overlook: nhìn thấy từ trên cao
3. Do you want to live in a house with beautiful window views?

Oh yes. It’s always been a dream of mine to live in a house with window views that overlook
some greenery like a garden with fruit-bearing trees and fragrant flowers.
4. How do you feel when you can't see any beautiful view from your window?
Well, it’s not really a big deal, but given the fact that I’ve always wanted to live in a house that
affords a beautiful window view, it gives me more motivation to work hard so that I can achieve
what I want.

distinct seasons. Though the weather is quite unpredictable at times, I’ve grown used to it. I can
picture myself still living here in the years to come.
2. What makes you feel proud of your country?

There are many things I take pride in when it comes to my country. Off the top of my head,
food would be the first thing. Vietnamese cuisine is flavorful and very appetizing. But at this
particularly challenging time, I’m even prouder of my country because we are one of the few that
have been able to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic quite successfully. That really shows our
solidarity vividly.
• Take pride in: tự hào về
• When it comes to: khi nhắc tới
• Off the top of my head: điều đầu tiên tôi nghĩ tới là
• Solidarity: tinh thần đoàn kết
3. Do you know the history of your country well?

It is quite embarrassing to admit this but I don’t. History in general is not my cup of tea and
I’m not really good at remembering events, dates and the names of people in the past.
• Embarrassing: xấu hổ / ngại ngùng
• Not somebody’s cup of tea: không phải điều ưa thích của ai đó
4. Will you stay in China in the future?

To be honest, I‘ve never thought about it really. I think of China as a great destination to travel
to to explore new things but I haven’t given much thought to whether I’d settle there. So my
answer right now is I will go with the flow and see what happens.

those in my country, interesting or interactive. I can imagine myself getting bored after some
time there.
• Set foot in: đặt chân tới
• Displays: bộ sưu tập

It was ages ago really. I haven’t been to any museum for years and honestly, I couldn’t recall
when the last time was.
• Ages ago: rất lâu trước đây

To be honest, I’m clueless about this since it is not something I take a keen interest in. I
suppose that there are some museums here and there around Hanoi.
• Clueless: không biết gì
• Take a keen interest in: quan (đặc biệt) tâm tới (cái gì)
• Here and there: rải rác
4. Do you think museums are important?

Absolutely, even though I rarely pay a visit to museums, I do reckon the significant importance
of such places. Firstly, they house historical artworks and artifacts which can provide modern
people with a glimpse into the past, thereby raising their awareness about history and
culture, among others. Secondly, museums create employment opportunities for many people
and thus contribute to the economic growth of a country. For these 2 reasons, they are indeed
very important.
• Pay a visit to: đến thăm (nơi nào)
• Artifacts: đồ cổ
• A glimpse into something: một góc nhìn về (cái gì)

and Phu Yen. It was such a memorable trip, filled with numerous new intriguing experiences.
• Intriguing: thú vị
2. Do you like holidays? Why?

a break from the daily grind. When a holiday is around the corner, I can slow down, take my
mind off work and just relax.
• The daily grind: cuộc sống thường nhật
3. Which public holiday do you like best?

I like all public holidays actually because they are great occasions to celebrate, but if I have to
choose one, I’ll go for Tet. Tet marks the beginning of a new year and people are often hopeful
and optimistic during this time. It is just a very enjoyable atmosphere to be in. Also, my parents
have time off during Tet and our family can take advantage of it to travel somewhere new.
Sadly, we weren’t able to do it this year because of the pandemic.
• Take advantage of: tận dụng
4. What do you do on holidays?

It actually depends on the duration of the holiday. If the holiday lasts for a week or so, I’d prefer
to travel to have a change of scenery and recharge my energy. But if it is only a 1 or 2-day
holiday, then I will do some catching up with friends since we are all swamped with work and
cannot meetup often.
• A change of scenery: thay đổi phong cảnh

It depends on what festival. We have different traditions that accompany each festival. Take
Lunar New Year for example. On New Year’s Eve, people often partake in the usual rituals like
going to watch the fireworks display and buying items that are supposed to bring luck like
sugarcane and salt. For Mid-Autumn festival, we make mooncakes and carry lanterns around
the streets as celebratory activities. There are many other interesting festive traditions as well.
You get the idea
• Accompany: đi kèm với
• Partake in: tham gia vào
• Rituals: nghi lễ
2. What special food and activities do you have for these festivals?
Well, I have mentioned some of the celebratory activities already so I’m going to talk about food
now. For Tet holiday, we have banh chung, made mainly of sticky glutinous rice. We also
consume a great deal of dry bamboo shoots and spring rolls, among others, at this time. For
Mid-Autumn festival, we often make and eat mooncakes, an indispensable delicacy.

I do, and I think of wallets as one of the must-have items, besides a phone and a bag.
• Must-have: phải có
2. Have you ever lost your wallet?

Luckily no, otherwise I would have been in big trouble as there are usually important items like
credit cards, cash and especially personal IDs inside my wallet. It would take me months to
have those essential documents remade.
• Important = essential: quan trọng
3. Have you ever bought someone a wallet as a gift?

I have actually. If my memory serves me well, the wallet was for my dad’s birthday last year. It
was a brown leather wallet, which is also my dad’s favorite color and material. He was over the
moon after receiving it, which made me really pleased.
• If my memory serves me well / right / correctly: nếu tôi nhớ đúng
• Over the moon: rất vui

light show.
• Appreciate the beauty: trân trọng vẻ đẹp
• Put on a light show: màn trình diễn ánh sáng
2. Can you see the moon and stars at night where you live?
I can see the moon quite clearly but I can rarely catch sight of the stars. I think it is because I
live in the city centre and the sky here is often hazy during nighttime, which is not really ideal for
star-gazing.
• Catch sight of: bắt gặp
• Hazy: mờ mịt
• Star-gazing: ngắm sao
3. Do you prefer the sky in the morning or the sky at night?

I like both, but I lean more towards the night sky. No particular reason. I just like the fact that
the night sky gives me a sense of calm and relaxation, which I really need at the end of a
working day.
• Lean towards: nghiêng nhiều hơn về (lựa chọn nào)
• A sense of calm and relaxation: cảm giác an tĩnh và thư giãn
4. Is there a good place to look at the sky where you live?

1. Do you like watching TV programs about wild animals?

2. Did you learn something about wild animals from school?
3. Where can you see wild animals?
4. In which country do you think you can see many wild animals?
1. Do you like watching TV programs about wild animals?

Oh yes. Shows like The Animal Kingdom and Natural World are an absolute delight. They
provide me with a change of scenery and a glimpse into the lives of various animals in the
world, which are incredibly fascinating.
• A delight: niềm vui
• A change of scenery: thay đổi phong cảnh
• A glimpse: một góc / điểm nhìn
2. Did you learn something about wild animals from school?

To the best of my recollection, we didn’t learn much about wildlife. Most of the knowledge
delivered at school was quite theoretical and exam-orientated. I hope more interesting content
has been incorporated into the curriculum since.
• To the best of one’s recollection: nếu nhớ đúng thì
• Exam-orientated: phục vụ cho các bài kiểm tra
• Integrated: tích hợp / thêm vào
• Curriculum: chương trình học
3. Where can you see wild animals?

Off the top of my head, zoos and national parks are common places people often go to to see
wild animals. Indeed, numerous species of terrestrial and aquatic animals as well as
amphibians can be found at those areas and they often attract a great number of visitors.
• Off the top of one’s head: điều đầu tiên ai đó nghĩ tới
• Terrestrial: trên cạn
• Aquatic: dưới nước
• Amphibian: sống được cả ở trên cạn lẫn dưới nước
4. In which country do you think you can see many wild animals?
I think you can run into wild untamed animals in almost any country as each nation has its own
natural reserves that are home to diverse flora and fauna.
• Untamed: chưa được thuần hoá
• Natural reserves: khu bảo tồn tự nhiên
• Flora and fauna: thảm động thực vật

8. Advertisement
1. What kinds of advertisements do you watch?

2. Where can you see advertisements?
3. Have you ever bought something because of its advertisement?
4. Do you watch advertisements from the beginning to the end?
1. What kinds of advertisements do you watch?

I usually watch adverts on TV as there is no other way around it. It is not the case for
advertisements on the Internet though. When they pop up and interrupt the program I’m
watching, I turn them off immediately.
• (not) the case for: (không) đúng với
• Pop up: xuất hiện
2. Where can you see advertisements?

Pretty much everywhere, I suppose, be it TV, the Internet, radios or newspapers. I guess the
reason is because adverts have become a very helpful tool that companies often use to
promote their brands and their products.
• Be it…or…: hoặc cái này… hoặc cái kia…
3. Have you ever bought something because of its advertisement?

I don’t think advertisements have ever prompted me to buy anything before. I usually buy
something that is practical rather than make impulsive purchases after seeing adverts, no
matter how well-known the brand is.
• Prompt: thúc đẩy / khuyến khích
• Make impulsive purchases: mua sắm theo cảm tính
4. Do you watch advertisements from the beginning to the end?

It depends on what I am doing at that time as well as the length of the adverts, but generally
speaking, advertisements often pop up out of nowhere in the middle of the program I’m
watching, so my answer would be no.
• Out of nowhere: không biết từ đâu tới

9. Flowers
1. What kinds of flowers do you know?

2. Are there any flowers that have special meanings in Vietnam?
3. Have you planted any flowers?
4. Have you sent flowers to anyone?
1. What kinds of flowers do you know?

I don’t know much about flowers but I can name and recognize a few. Roses, lilies, lotuses,
daisies, sunflowers, to name a few.
• To name a few: có thể kể tới một vài thứ
2. Are there any flowers that have special meanings in Vietnam?

To be honest, I don’t know the first thing about this kind of topic as flowers are not something
I’m interested in. I guess there are flowers that hold special meanings in Vietnam, but I only
know that red roses represent love and white lotuses symbolize purity.
• Not know the first thing about: không biết mấy (về cái gì)
• Represent = symbolize: đại diện
• Purity: sự trong sạch / tinh khiết
3. Have you planted any flowers?

I used to grow a pot of red roses as it was part of a subject at school. I still remembered paying
close attention to them during the first week, but then the enthusiasm wore off and it was my
mom who helped me with daily watering as well as trimming.
• Pay attention to: chú ý tới
• Wore off: giảm dần
• Trimming: cắt tỉa
4. Have you sent flowers to anyone?

Oh yes. That was 2 years ago when I was away from home and my mother’s birthday was
approaching. Since I couldn’t be with her on her birthday, I ordered a flower bouquet and
asked for it to be sent to our home. My mom was over the moon after receiving the present,
and so was I.
• A flower bouquet: lẵng hoa
• Over the moon: rất vui

10. Barbecue
1. Do Vietnamese people like barbecue?

2. What kind of food do you like to eat for barbecue?
3. Would you like to have barbecue with your family or your friends?
4. Did you have barbecue when you were a child?
1. Do Vietnamese people like barbecue?

I guess the answer is yes, given the fact that the number of barbecue establishments in
Vietnam has been on the rise in recent years. I guess many people, including me, love
catching up with friends over grilled meat accompanied by various kinds of sauce.
• On the rise: đang tăng
• Catch up with: cập nhật thông tin / cuộc sống (với bạn bè)
• Accompanied by: đi kèm với
2. What kind of food do you like to eat for barbecue?

Off the top of my head, meat or seafood must be there. It doesn’t matter if they are seasoned
or not. I just couldn’t imagine a barbecue without protein. Next, I love to have some kinds of
veggies as well like eggplants and beans. Grilled eggplants are just out of this world.
• Off the top of sb’s head: điều đầu tiên ai nghĩ tới là
• Seasoned: ướp (gia vị)
• Out of this world: rất ngon
3. Would you like to have barbecue with your family or your friends?
Both, actually, but for different reasons. For my family, having a barbecue party is like having a
break from all the traditional Vietnamese dishes my parents normally cook at home. Not that I’m
complaining or anything. It’s just about changing up the routine. For my friends, we can have a
great time doing some catching up over grilled meat.
4. Did you have barbecue when you were a child?

Oh yes, and quite often actually. I still have this fond memory of the good old days when our
big family gathered around the barbecue every Sunday night, shared what happened during the
week with other members and just had a great time. Sadly, we couldn’t do it as often nowadays.
• Fond: (kỉ niệm) vui
• The good old days: những ngày cũ vui vẻ

1. Do you like to travel by car?

2. When do you travel by car?
3. Where is the farthest place you have travelled to by car?
4. Do you like to sit in the front or back when travelling by car?
1. Do you like to travel by car?

Absolutely. it is actually very fun to travel by car once in a while. We can sing some karaoke
while driving and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding at the same time.
2. When do you travel by car?

I don’t travel by car often when I travel domestically really. I’d rather go by plane or other
vehicles for long-distance travelling. But when I go to other countries, the car is usually the first
choice of transportation that pops up in my head if I’m about to go somewhere.
• Domestically: (du lịch) trong nước
3. Where is the farthest place you have travelled to by car?

If my memory serves me well, my farthest location I’ve travelled to using cars was Tam Dao, a
rural district in the northern region of Vietnam. It was a 100km road trip if I remembered
correctly.
• If my memory serves me well / right / correctly: nếu nhớ đúng thì
4. Do you like to sit in the front or back when travelling by car?

I’d like to take the front seat whenever I travel by car. Being in the front seat allows me to have a
broader view of the surrounding, so I can enjoy the scenery more. Plus, you have more room to
stretch your legs if you sit in the front as well.
• Room: không gian
• Stretch: duỗi (tay, chân)

12. Relax
1. What would you do to relax?

2. Do you think doing sports is a good way to relax?
3. Do you think vacation is a good time for you to relax?
4. Do you think students need more relaxing time?
1. What would you do to relax?

It really depends on how much time I have. If it is a 10-minute break, I will do some quick
stretching to relieve joint stiffness. If I have more time, let’s say an hour or so, I will watch
some recreational YouTube videos. Lately, I’ve been very into the videos of this Chinese
cooking channel, and I visit it whenever I have time to spare.
• Stretch: duỗi (tay chân)
• Relieve joint stiffness: làm mềm khớp bị cứng
2. Do you think doing sports is a good way to relax?

Certainly yes. I find exercising a very beneficial way to relax and reduce stress. A jog in the park
always helps me clear my mind, improve my mood and boost my energy level.
• Clear sb’s mind: làm ai đó tỉnh táo hơn
3. Do you think vacation is a good time for you to relax?

Absolutely. You usually go somewhere new during your vacation and that provides you with a
change of scenery, which certainly helps to refresh your mind and recharge your battery.
• A change of scenery: thay đổi không gian
• Refresh sb’s mind: khiến đầu óc / tinh thần thoải mái hơn
• Recharge one’s battery: nạp năng lượng
4. Do you think students need more relaxing time?

Yes, and I say this because I was once a student myself. We usually have to go through a long
exhausting 8-hour school day and even extra classes afterwards. In the end, we are really tired
after returning home, but still have a pile of homework waiting to be completed. This kind of
routine repeats itself for days and months. Therefore, I understand how tough it is and I do wish
modern students would have more time for relaxation.

13. Special costumes
1. Do you like to wear special costumes?

2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
3. When was your last time wearing special costumes?
4. Do you ever buy special costumes?
1. Do you like to wear special costumes?

If by special costumes you mean fancy or formal attire, then I’m not really into them. Not that I
don’t find them beautiful or anything, but those kinds of clothes are only suitable for a limited
number of occasions. Plus, they are also more expensive compared to other forms of apparels,
so I only put them on whenever I must. In my daily life, I’d like to go with something more casual
and flexible.
• Attire: quần áo (thường là loại trang trọng)
• Apparel: quần áo
2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
Yes, I usually wore this suit when attending special events like proms in school. Those were the
only occasions I put on formal clothing like a suit really.
3. When was your last time wearing special costumes?

It was a while ago actually. I put on this suit and came to my university for the yearbook
photoshoot as we had already agreed on beforehand. Compared with the school uniform I wore
on our yearbook photoshoot day in high school, the suit definitely made me look more confident
and mature, and for that, I was really pleased.
4. Do you ever buy special costumes?

I’ve only bought one off-the-peg suit before. I don’t wear it often though, because as I shared
earlier, I prefer casual and flexible outfits in my daily life.
