films. Sometimes, we comment on the content of the films or football matches.

2. Learning foreign language: Học ngôn ngữ nước ngoài
Nowadays, learning foreign languages is very important, especially English.
English is very necessary in social communication in many countries. There are
some advantages of learning English.
Firstly, if you are good at English, you can read any document that is necessary for
your study.
Secondly, you can find a good job with a high salary with good English skill.
Furthermore, English is a global language. Learning English will help you to
communicate with foreigners from around the world more easily. It also helps you
open your mind. As for me, I am not good at English but I will spend more time on
learning English in the near future. I believe my English skill will be better if I am
hard-working.

in social: thuộc xã hội
necessary: cần thiết

global: toàn cầu

3. Transport (Giao thông vận tải)
I’m going to tell you about transport problems in Vietnam. Firstly, Transport in
VN is very terrible. Especially, in big cities like Hanoi, there are too many
motorbikes on the road and people don’t follow the traffic laws. They cross the
road while the lights are red. They may be the reasons why there are too many
accidents in Vietnam. Another problem of transport in Vietnam is road systems.
They are too old and narrow. They should be repaired. More new roads should be
built. In my opinion, now the most necessary solutions to the transport problems in
Vietnam are educating people, especially young people about traffic laws and
building more modern road systems.
reason: lý do
opinion: ý kiến, quan điểm
road: đường xác
solutions: giải pháp, biên pháp
repaired: tu sửa
4. Hobbies (sở thích riêng) and entertainment (giải trí)
I have a lot of hobbies. For example: play football, travelling or listen to music….
But today, I’m going to tell you about my favourite sport. My most favourite sport
is football. It is a famous sport in the world. Football is such a popular game that is
played even in the most remote area of my country. Even old people and children
enjoy watching this game. When The Championship of World, the Premier League
happen, people can "eating football, sleeping football and playing football" and
football is called the "King sport". Football players should be strong enough to
kick the ball. They must also be skillful in controlling the ball. This makes this
game difficult indeed, yet it also makes it interesting. When I studied at Ha Noi
University of Agriculture, I participated in a team of the faculty of Agronomy. My
team won and the champion cup belonged to my team. I always love this game!
hobbies: sở thích
remote: xa xôi, hẻo lánh
enough: đủ
such a popular: nhiều người ưa chuộng
indeed: thực vậy
participate: tham gia
faculty: ngành, chuyên ngành
5. Game and sport
To tell you the truth, I very like sport but I don’t have enough time. I just like
watching them on TV. The sport that I want to tell you today is football. I really
like watching football matches on TV. My favourite football team is Liverpool
club. They play very well and the players are very handsome, especially Sevent
Gerrad. I usually watch football matches with my father and my brothers at night.
My father and I support Liverpool but my brother likes MU so we always argue
about football teams and Champion league. In my opinion, there are a lot of good
things about playing football. It not only helps you stronger, but also helps you
learn to unite. When I studied at Ha noi University of Agriculture, I participated in
a team of the faculty of Agronomy. My team won and the champion cup belonged
to my team. I always love this game!
strength: sức mạnh
support: cổ vũ
truth: sự thật
argue: tranh cãi
unite: đoàn kết
6. Health and welfare (sức khỏe và hạnh phúc)
I’m going to tell you about health care problem in Vietnam. As you know,
Vietnam is a developing country so health care systems are still poor and old.
Almost state owned hospitals were built a long time ago in Vietnam. Therefore,
they are all old and small. They do not meet people’s demand. The majority of big
hospitals are in big cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh... Furthermore, the the
government invest a little money in local hospitals and clinics. That’s why many
people have to take a long journey to get to a big hospital when they are badly ill.
Nowadays, the problems are improving. The government is investing more in
health care. I hope that the health care system will be better in the near future in
Viet Nam.
demand: đòi hỏi
Therefore: bởi vậy
state: đất nước
majority: phần lớn, chủ yếu
invest: đầu tư
clinics: bệnh viện tư
improve: cải thiện
7. Education (Giáo dục)
Well, for me, education is a complicated problem to say. I'm going to tell you
something about hostels for students. You know, almost students who are studying
in Hanoi come from poor provinces. After they pass a difficult exam, new students
and their families must prepare a lot of things for their study. Nowadays, the most
important problem of new students is dormitory. Hanoi is too small for too much
students so boarding house and dormitory for student is not enough. Students must
bay a lot of money for a small room, it is not fair because they don’t have much
money. With these reasons, pressing problem now is build more hostel for
students, especially cheap price hostel. In my case, I lived in hostel through 4 years
and I really love the life in hostel, it is safe peaceful and people here are very
friendly. In my opinion, most of university should be built more hostel for
students.
boarding house: nhà trọ
not fair: thừa thãi
complicated: phức tạp
pressing: cấp bách
hostels: nhà rẻ tiền cho sinh viên
safe: an toàn
peaceful: hòa bình
8. Houses (Ngôi nhà)
I don’ t known every people think what about your house, for me, I love my house
so much. Today I'm going to tell you something about my house. It is an old house
that was build about 10 years ago. My parents built it by their save money. When
you visit my house, the fist thing you will see is a medium living room, it is
decorated with the light color and some beautiful pictures on the wall. There are 3
bed rooms in my house. There are one living room, and kitchen and the toilet. I
really love sister bed room because She decorate it by my self with pink walls,
sister cute bed, a wardrobe and a lovely dressing table. The kitchen in my house is
not big and modern but my mother is very like it because where is my mother
make a lot of delicious and special dishes for my family. Every night, my family
watch TV together in living room. We talk about everything. And I think it is the
best time we have together.
my self: cùng một màu
wardrobe: tủ quần áo
cute: duyên dáng
9. Holiday (Kỳ nghỉ)
Firstly, I want to tell you that I really like holidays. I’m going to talk about Tet
holiday. It is the first holiday in the year. I really like it because I don’t have to do
any thing in my office on Tet holiday. Therefore, I have more time for my family.
On Tet holiday, people in Vietnam usually visit their grand parents, relatives or
friends. They greet each other and give the best wishes. Adults usually give lucky
money to children. Also, all people are happy to wear new clothes. Especially,
people make a lot of delicious and special dishes. For example, square cake ,
spring rolls, etc… As for me, I usually spare time with my family on the first day
of the new year. I often go out with my friends the rest days.
Lunar: mặt trăng
square cake: bánh chưng
spring rolls: nem
Greet: chào
Special dishes: đĩa thức ăn
10. Social problems (Những vấn đề xã hội)
Nowadays, people are not only in Vietnam but also from around the world busier
than in the past, and they don’t have enough time for there family. So, I’m going to
tell you something about family problem in Vietnam. You know, Vietnam is a
developing country, people are trying to have a better life. That is the reason why
they spend more time for their work and don’t have enough time for their family.
Parents don’t spend more time to play and talk with there children. When members
in a family don’t spend time together It make children feel lonely and they may
leave their home to make friend with strange people, it’s really dangerous for
children. In my opinion, people should balance time between work and family.
balance: cán cân
11. The economic development (Sự phát triển kinh tế)
As you know, Viet Nam has been unified since 1975. Viet nam made a big mis
take about economic development, as we didn’t apply the open door policy after
re–unifying the country. As a result, Viet Nam had to need aids from other
counties. The economic was not development; The People,s life. Therefore
Vietnam had to open the door for development of economy in 1986 an “Doi moi”
means “reform”. At the moment, the Vietnamese Party and Government
concentrate on the economic development with the program “modernization and
industrialization” all over the country. More and more foreign investors invest in
Vietnam. The economy has been improving day by day. So much work has been
done as well as the people’s life are getting better and better. The reputation of
Vietnam has been raised especially after joining the WTO. Now a day, Viet nam is
striving for an industrialized country by 2020. We believe that Vietnam will
become a developed country in the near future.
12. Environment (Môi trường)
As you know, Vietnam is a developing country so the development of industry is
very important. As a result, the environment is polluted. There are many kinds of
pollution like air pollution, water, soil, etc… In my opinion, air pollution is the
most serious. Smoke from factories store many kinds of toxics such as CO2 , CO,
NH3, etc… It effects animals, plants and people’s life. Plants and animals near
industrial zones can not grow normally. Especially, air pollution cause a lot of
serious diseases such as lung cancer, skin cancer and other diseases. From my
point of view, developing economy is very important but we must balance between
benefit and damage. We should protect our environment by planting more and
more trees, cleaning the environment. Another solution is educating people about
benefits of the clean/ fresh environment.
13. Food (Thức ăn/ Thực phẩm)
I’m going to tell you about my favourite food. As you know, Vietnam is a tropical
country. There are a lot of tropical foods. My favourite food is beef noodle. It is
made of rice, beef, and many kinds of herbs. I usually eat beef noodle in the
morning. My favourite restaurant is Cuong Noodle. It is a small restaurant located
on Tran Hung Dao street. Whenever I eat beef noodle, it always makes me have a
special taste. Hanoi is famous for beef noodle. What’s more, it is also well- known
for a lot of delicious foods. For example Omai, grilled rice…. At home, my mother
makes beef noodle very well. She often makes it when my family get together. We
enjoy the happy time when we have beef noodle at home.
14. Fashion (Thời trang)
You can see me, I am not a famous man, I’m a traditional man so my knowledge
about fashion is not very much. In my opinion, fashion is something make people
more beautiful and more charming. Fashion usually is made by young people.
Nowadays, teenage usually wear exceptional clothes and those clothes have many
colours. Their hair are also dyed with many colours, for example red, brown, or
even green. Fashion is not very common in middle-age person and old people
never follow fashion. In my way of thinking, Fashion is very good for every people
but we must follow it by a right way.
teenage: thanh thiếu niên
exceptional: khác người
charming: duyên dáng
dyed: nhuộn màu
