'TOPIC.CARD 15
The place in my country I would like to visit in my country is Phong Nha - Ke Bang national
park.
Phong Nha-Ke Bang national park was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. I
knew about it because of the advertisement on TV and Internet.
IfI have a chance to go there, I will go mountain climbing, trekking in the rainforest and explore
the caves and travel along the rivers by boat.
I like to visit this place because it is a very famous tourist attraction and I love the scenery there.
TOPIC CARD 2:
It is an American action film about a mercenary group known as "The Expendables" as they
come into conflict with ruthless arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks , the Expendables' co-founder,
who is determined to destroy the team.
The film features many famous action movie stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson,
Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I enjoyed this movie a lot, it has an interesting storyline and many action scenes, which are very
thrilling and breath-taking.
TOPIC CARD 3:
My favorite book is "Physics of the Impossible" written by Dr Michio Kaku, a very famous
Japanese physicist.
In this book, Dr Kaku uses discussion of technologies to introduce topics of fundamental physics
and their possible implication in the future such as time travelling, unlimited energy,etc.. to the
reader. He also concludes his book with a short epilogue detailing the newest frontiers in physics
and how there is still much more to be learned about physics and our universe.
I like this book a lot because I love physics and their appliance to our daily lives. I'm also very
curious about the technologies often seen in sci-fi movies and their practicability in the future
and this book has helped me understand a lot about these fields.
TOPIC CARD 4:
In my opinion, working for a major airline company as a pilot is a dream job. In fact becoming a
pilot who flies the giant airplanes was my dream in my childhood.
Working as a pilot requires a very comprehensive training and to become a good pilot one needs
very good quality and skill sets. Usually the candidates are hired from Aviation Academies in
Vietnam or other countries, then they are given comprehensive training, both theoretical and
practical, and after a high hours of flawless flying records the candidates are send to work for
their jobs.
It is not very suitable for me because I don't like to work far from home & family.beinga pilot
is also an exhausting job. However, the reason Istilllike this job a lotis because it is an
interesting and prestigious job that would allow me to visit different countries and meet different
people around the globe.
TOPIC CARD 5:
It was given to me as a gift for passing the university entrance exam 3 years ago, my father
bought it from a computer store in Da Nang.
TOPIC CARD 6:
I once had a pet dog name Kid. Ten years ago, on a rainy day, my father found him wandering
purposelessly on the street near my house and was probably abandoned by his owner. My father
then decided to take him home and take care of him.
At first, he was weak and hungry so I fed him milk so he can recover quickly. Several days later,
he got better and started running around the house, his fur also become brighter and he looked
very nice.
Everyday after I finished school, he was always waiting for me at the front door and when I got
home, he jumped around me and was very happy and playing with him helps me relax a lot. It
was one the best pet I've ever had.
TOPIC CARD 7
The person I've always wanted to meet is Stephen Hawking. He is an English theoretical
physicist, cosmologist of the University of Cambridge. He is famous for his scientific works and
theories about the universe.
The reason I want to meet him is that I'm very fascinated about the universe - its creation and
history, and his theories about the universe. If I have a chance to meet him, I will ask him a lot of
questions about space physics and astronomy so I can understand more about the universe we're
living in.
It was about 5 years ago when I went to th~annual sports day of my high ~chooLIt was a very
grand event; more than 900 students were participating in different games and my class was one
of those. It was a magnificent event. Things were organized incredibly well and the headmaster
of the school was organizing everything by himself. I was really impressed by the look of the
event and it would not be wrong to compare the event to Olympics.
The best of the SPOIts event was when my class won the final match of soccer game. I was
feeling proud of my class because none of us thought that we would have won the final match. I
have enjoyed a lot by coming to the event and by watching the match.
TOPIC CARD 9
I suppose one of the most common leisure activities in my country is simply jogging along the
beaches in the morning. It is also a type of morning exercise for many people in Vietnam.
In the early morning, people - especially the elderly, usually wake up and jog around the beaches
near their home. They usually go in groups or sometimes alone. It is a very popular activity in
Vietnam because people taking part in it can socialize with others while having a chance to
improve their health.
TOPIC CARD 10
Perhaps the person who has taught me many thing useful in my life is my dad.
He taught me about life: about making wise decisions, firmly standing on your principles, being
emotionally strong, staying contented with what you have, keeping relationships and simply
being happy.
He was able to do this by showing me real life examples from his experiences, which really.helps
me a lot in dealing with problems in many aspects of my life.
TOPIC CARD 11
I started learning to photograph about 2 years ago, after I bought my first camera. I tried to learn
about photography from many sources such as the Internet, magazines and from my friends who
are experienced in photography. Then I practiced a lot by taking many photos and learnt from the
mistakes I made so as to improve my skill.
Right now, I usually go outside and take photos about once or twice a week with my friends. We
usually take photo of the scenery and people in my city. It is an important part of my life because
it is one of my favorite leisure time activities. Whenever I do it, I feel very relaxed and peaceful
after a hard day at work.
Perhaps the most memorable success I've ever achieved is when I finally graduated from the
University of Foreign Language Studies with honors.
It was a proud moment for me and my family, especially when looking back at the times
studying at the university, it wasn't easy. I had to study very hard but sometimes I was very
discouraged when I received bad points, but then I learnt from the mistake I made and improved
a lot. This success has helped me a lot in my career because I had many advantages in finding a
suitable job for me, it also earned me respects from my friends, which really makes me happy.
I am from Da Nang City and I like the Big C shopping mall that I often visit.. I visit this
shopping mall almost twice in a month and sometimes more frequent than that.
People from nearby places and from the city are the most frequent visitors but it's not uncommon
that tourists and shoppers from other cities come and shop from this shopping mall. This
shopping center and offers a great shopping experience including restaurants, cafe, lounges,
Cinema Theater.
The Big C shopping mall hosts many renowned brands and offers distinctive shopping
experience. You can find almost everything you need to shop from here.
The food court is something you would love about this shopping mall. There are several food
shops that you can pick from and the game center attracts mostly the game lovers and teenagers.
The movie theater of Big C is called cav and is in the 4th floor.
I like this shopping mall mostly because of the quality products and good price offering. Apart
from that the security, customer service and nice environment also attract me. Another reason
that affects my shopping decision from this shopping mall is its distance from my living place. It
takes only 15 minutes to reach there and this is one of the reasons I mostly decide to shop there.
TOPIC CARD 14:
In this series, Bear Grylls travels around the globe to find the most dangerous tourist locations
and environments, in order to show us how to survive in them. With his simple survival
techniques and his knowledge of the wildlife, he is able to give handy tips on how to survive and
escape safely in case you are lost in the wilderness.
I particularly like this programme because it gives me many valuable and practical information
on survival skills, it also features many thrilling and breath-taking scenes, which looks very
much like an action movie.
TOPIC CARD 15
To me, one of the friends who has played an important part in my life is Toan. I met him when I
was only 12 years old and was in secondary school. He is a helpful and talented Mend who helps
people and always wished best for people. He studied mathematics very well and he also has a
talent in art.
r like to spend time with him because we have many common interests between us such as
computer games,etc . r never feel bored spending time with him. Since we are friends for a long
time, we understand each other. A good friend always extends helping hands when in need and
I've found Toan by my side always. We do so many fun stuffs together and help each other in
our study. Good friendship, understanding and common interests makes us close friends and
those are the reasons why he has played an important part in my life.
