TEST 1

PART 1 – Email:
Hello Alex,
It’s good to receive your email. Rainforest is a great topic but it’s too big to talk about.
Diverse ecosystem has lots of kinds of animals and trees. If we choose this idea to
present, we will face many difficulties. Culture in Vietnam is such a nice idea. What do
you think about that?
I hope you won’t mind me saying that we can’t start tomorrow because I have a meeting
with my teachers and classmates on the following day. Why don’t we begin to prepare on
the day after tomorrow?
Well, I strongly recommend that the library in my school is brilliant to prepare all of the
things for our presentation. It’s a quiet place to concentrate on this topic.
Personally, I prefer morning to afternoon because at that time, our mind always gets fresh
and full of energy to do schoolwork. In addition, we have more time to get ready for
contents and powerpoint slides.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
All the best,
Xuyen.

PART 2 – Is shopping boring?

Shopping is my cup of tea in daily life because of these reasons. First of all, it helps me
reduce stress and recharge my mind after a hard working day. Especially, I feel so
relaxed when I try on many beautiful dresses. Moreover, I usually go with my friends, so
I can chat with them and share my joy and sorrow. On the contrary, shopping plazas are
so noisy and crowded. It has negative effects on my health in Covid-19 pandemic. I also
waste a lot of money and time to buy.
To attract more people, shopping centers have many interesting outdoor activities for
both adults and childrens. In addition, people gain a chance to select products among a
wide variety of ranges. They can easily compare the price and the quality of many goods.
TEST 2:
PART 1 – Email:
Hi Robbie,
It’s great to hear the news from you. Having a meal in a restaurant is such a brilliant idea
because that place has lots of many delicious recipes from all over the world. We gain the
golden opportunity to taste and enjoy the food.
Honestly, the new restaurant is better than a vegetarian restaurant because I want to try
many delicious burgers. The new restaurant in our town has many discounted prices, so I
think we can order more than usual.
Thanks for your kindness because you will pick me up on that day. Why don’t we come
together in the evening?
Could I help you to prepare and decorate the party with fireworks, birthday cake and
balloons?
I hope you write back soon.
Best,
Xuyen.

PART 2 – Free time activities

Jogging plays an essential part of life because it has positive effects on our health. In my
town, presidents usually jog together when they have spare time. They often jog around
the park or the lake in there.
I am keen on joining organized outdoor activities because I feel so relaxed and reduce
stress after a hard working day. I can make new friends with people living around my
house. Moreover, many organizations bring people together.
Personally, I usually go for activities that don’t stress me out but give me so much
pleasure such as cooking new dishes and traveling to new places. These kinds of
activities give me comfort.
SPEAKING
DO YOU WORK OR ARE YOU A STUDENT?
Currently, I’m a junior student studying at Ton Duc Thang university, majoring in
international business. I choose it simply because I’m really into business. My major is to
develop the skills to do business in markets around the world. I learn the ins and outs of
multinational organization’s strategic plans as well as foreign business practices. And my
dream is to be a successful business woman one day.

DO YOU PREFER MORNING OR AFTERNOON?

I prefer morning time because at that time, my mind gets fresh and full of energy. I have
more time to do everything such as have breakfast, do homework and do exercise.
Moreover, when I get up early to do exercise, it helps me keep fit and improve my health.
The sounds I can hear are the lovely chirping of the wind and exciting bird song.
