1 - Cặp vợ chồng lau nhà

Part 2:
1. Miêu tả tranh: 1 cặp vợ chồng đang dọn dẹp nhà cửa. Xung quanh họ khá bừa
bộn. Người đàn ông cầm chổi quét nhà, cười vui vẻ. Người phụ nữ cầm rẻ lau,
mặt khó chịu.
In this photo, there is a couple doing the housework. The man is sweeping the
floor. He seems to be happy to do that. The woman is holding a rag to clean
something. She looks so tired and uncomfortable. I guess they have just moved to
a new house because the house is quite messy.
2. Bạn có hay làm việc nhà không?
Yes, I do. Because I live alone, I have to do all the housework by myself. I
normally cook and wash the dishes everyday. I sweep the floor twice a week, but
I just wipe it once a week, mainly on weekends when I have time.
My time is limited as an officer since I have to work at the company during the
day. Therefore, I just do the housework in the evening when I come home or on
my days off. I always try to spend time doing the chores to keep my house clean.
3. Có nên cùng máy móc để làm việc nhà không?
In my opinion, it is a good idea that we can use the machine to do the housework
for some reasons. Firstly, machines can help us save time and effort by
shortening the time we spend on chores. We will have more time to relax and do
other things as a result of this. The machines will be useful for people who are
too busy to do their housework. Furthermore, the machine is specialized in doing
housework effectively. Maybe they can do the work more professional than
human.
Part 3:
1. Miêu tả 2 tranh:
- P1: Một đám người khá đông đang chuẩn bị lên xe buýt. Một người đàn ông
đang làm gì đó trên nóc xe.
In the first picture, I can see a bus at a station. There are many people waiting to
board the bus. On the top of this vehicle, I can see a man doing something. I
guess he is fixing the bus.

- P2: Một người đàn ông đang chuẩn bị lên xe hơi. Ông ta đang nhìn vào xe hơi
của mình.
In contrast, in the second one, I can see a man wearing…. He is looking at his
black car. I guess he is boarding his car. In background,...
2. Trải nghiệm di chuyển của 2 phương tiện này như thế nào?
I think these types of vehicles are suitable for each person’s demand and
financial situation.
People who have a limited budget and have to travel frequently will prefer public
transportation such as bus, coach and train. It costs them a cheap fee and is quite
 convenient. But sometimes, it is crowded and noisy, which makes people feel
uncomfortable.
On the contrary, personal vehicles like cars can provide users with comfort,
privacy and safety. Furthermore, they can have control over their time to travel.
3. Tại sao họ lại thích đi phương tiện của họ/phương tiện cá nhân, như ô tô.
I think people like using their own personal vehicles for several reasons.
First of all, they can arrange their travel time proactively, especially for
individuals who have to move a lot during the day. If you use public transport,
you can only follow a time schedule of vehicles.
Furthermore, in fact, personal vehicles are faster than public transportation,
allowing you to save time on your journey because buses and trains must pick up
and drop off passengers at each stop, which takes time.
Part 4:
1. Khoảng thời gian bạn học điều gì đó mới. (skills) - 5
I would like to tell you about a skill that I take a long time to learn. Driving is a
practical and new skill that I use almost everyday.
I learned how to drive a car in a training center when I was 22 years old. My
parents paid for me to have lessons with a professional driving instructor. I
studied driving skills and the rules for car drivers. Then I practiced the learning
such as reserving and parking.
2. Điều khó khăn nhất là gì? - 5
To be honest, I have to say that I’m not good at remembering information, so
studying all of these driving rules was quite a challenge for me. At that time, I
had to spend 2 weeks learning and remembering all the knowledge. Finally, I
have passed the driving test and got a license.
3. Tại sao mọi người lại thích học kỹ năng mới? - 6
I believe that people like studying a new skill for a number of reasons. To begin
with, they tend to choose a skill which is necessary for their jobs or their daily
life such as presentation skills, cooking skills and so on. In fact, nowadays some
companies demand employees to have additional abilities. Furthermore, learning
a new skill is a good way to refresh or unwind after a hard day at work.
Therefore, many people apply this method as an entertaining option.

This picture seems to be taken in a classroom. I can see a teacher and many
students. There is a girl focusing on playing piano. The teacher and other
friends are watching her performance. They looked very happy and excited
about it. I guess they are learning a music lesson.
2. Bạn có thích âm nhạc không.
Yes, I really love music. Music is a part of my life. Listening to my favorite songs
is a great activity to reduce stress after a busy day. I am often immersed in the
 music and enjoy the melodies passionately. I hum and sing to the songs all the
time, even when I’m not listening to them. Besides, I often update new songs to
enjoy different types of modern music.
3. Tác dụng của âm nhạc với cuộc sống.
From my point of view, music brings many benefits to people’s lives. It blows the
cobweb away after a busy day. Acoustic and light music help us reduce stress and
even improve sleep. Music also boosts our mood and connects people all over the
world together. Furthermore, we also use music to express our emotions and
personalities. Therefore, it plays an important role to both our mental and
physical health as well as our well-being.

Part 4:
1. Kể về 1 lần được giúp đỡ
I would like to tell you about a time when I was helped by others that I will never
forget. At that time, I had an incident due to my broken motorbike while I was
running on a highway. I didn’t know how to fix the vehicle, so I had to walk the
motorbike to find a repair shop. Suddenly, a man realized my problem and
stopped to help me fix the vehicles. After nearly 20 minutes being repaired,
luckily, it worked again.
2. Cảm xúc lúc đó
To be honest, I was deeply moved and grateful for his assistance in that situation.
I was able to return home early and safely thanks to his support. Then I offered
him a cup of coffee as a mark of my gratitude for his kindness. I felt very happy
since he agreed with my offer.
3. Sự giúp đỡ và đồng cảm của mọi người có vai trò gì?
In my opinion, assistance and empathy are critical elements of our lives. These
are humanistic features that can connect people together. Kind people are always
willing to assist individuals in need as they empathize with those situations.
People who do the right things will spread positive energy and get respect from
others. Their assistance can contribute to improving the situation or the lives
of many people that develops a sociable community.
 3 - Người đàn ông vẽ tranh

In this photo, I can see a man in white shirt. He is concentrating on drawing a
picture. He is about … years old. In the background, there are many different
pictures. I guess he is a painter. The room seems to be his gallery.
2. Lần cuối bạn thưởng thức nghệ thuật là khi nào.
It was about 1 years ago since the last time I visited a gallery. I invited a friend
who is also a fan of art to go to an exhibition which was held in this gallery. The
art collection included pictures made by our favorite artists. The main theme of
this display was about the beauty of nature in each season. We were so excited
when witnessing such wonderful artworks. That was the most memorable
painting exhibition I have ever seen.
3. Tại sao con người lại tạo ra nghệ thuật
In my opinion, people create art for a number of reasons. First of all, they make
their own products for the simple purpose of entertainment and to satisfy
themselves. Furthermore, they also want to express their uniqueness and conduct
valuable artworks. Via the works, they can send personal or social messages to
others that can educate people about the right things and connect people
together.
Part 3:
1. Miêu tả 2 tranh:

In contrast, in the second one, I can see 2 men shaking hands/being high five.
They look … years old. I guess they are having a trip together.
2. Sự khác nhau giữa đi chơi theo nhóm vs đi chơi cùng 1 người bạn thân.
I find some differences between traveling in a group and traveling with a close
friend. When traveling in a group, we prioritize activities that everyone can
participate in and have lots of fun, normally physical activities. If you travel in
pairs, you will spend more time enjoying the moments and talking to each other.
Besides, a group outing allows people to get together and have fun after a busy
period, while a trip with a close friend allows them to explore new things
together.
3. Lợi ích của việc đi du lịch.
From my point of view, traveling brings many benefits to people. It can help us
improve both mental and physical health and well-being. Each trip has some
physical activities like exercise for us to work out and a comfortable atmosphere
 to relax. In addition, we also have a chance to try other cuisines, other cultures,
and other environments that expands our knowledge about the world. Because of
these advantages, traveling is always one of people's favorite hobbies during
their vacations.
Part
4:
1. Kể về 1 lần thời tiết xấu
It was an awful memory 2 years ago when I saw heavy rainfall on the way home
from school. That day, I forgot to bring a raincoat, so when it suddenly rained
heavily, I didn’t know what to do. There were no houses or trees for me to
shelter. Finally, I decided to drive my motorbike in the rainfall. As a result of
this, I got wet and sick.
2. Bạn cảm thấy như thế nào?
When there was nowhere to shelter from the rain at the moment, I felt depressed.
So, in such heavy rain, I tried to drive slowly and carefully because I was afraid
of falling due to the wet road and high wind. Then I felt extremely lucky to be
able to come home safely.
3. Thời tiết xấu ảnh hưởng như thế nào
The bad weather has certain negative effects on people’s lives. Heavy rain can
frequently delay traffic and cause outdoor activities to be disrupted.
Furthermore, extreme weather events, such as storms and floods, will cause
significant damage to property, crops, and even human life. In addition, it also
partly affects the health of people who have to work under these weather
conditions. Therefore, people should regularly watch the weather forecast to
prepare for the bad weather conditions.

Part 3:
1. Miêu tả 2 tranh:
- P1: Một người đàn ông đi du lịch 1 mình. Anh ta đeo balo du lịch. Phía trước
là thung lũng và đồng cỏ hoang sơ.
Both of the photos depict two different ways of traveling.
In the first picture, I can see a man wearing …T-shirts, … pants, and a
backpack. In front of him are valleys and wild grasslands. I guess he is traveling
alone and his journey is wild tourism.
- P2: Một cặp đôi vác vali đi du lịch. Phía trước là tòa nhà cổ kính cao trong thành
phố.
 In contrast, in the second picture, there is a young couple walking on the street.
The man wears…., while the woman wears….. They are holding suitcases. I
guess they are traveling in a city because I can see an ancient building. Maybe
they are spending time relaxing on their days off.
2. Tại sao người ta chọn đi du lịch thế này?/ Bạn thích đi du lịch kiểu nào?
I think people choose these types of traveling according to their hobbies,
demands and situations. Young people who are passionate about exploring
nature and enjoying themselves would prefer to travel alone. Since they will have
more time to focus on their own experience rather than on others. On the
contrary, someone who wants to have the opportunity to have fun and create
memories with family or friends will choose to travel in groups.

For me, I prefer traveling in groups to going alone for some reasons. First of all,
I am not good at determining directions and reading maps, so I get lost
frequently. Therefore, I need fellow travelers to help me stay on the right track in
the journeys. Moreover, I also love the lively and entertaining atmosphere when
there are a lot of people participating. On holiday, I normally have trips with
family or a team of friends. We spend time enjoying the moments and making
memories.
3. Ưu điểm khi đi du lịch 1 mình và theo nhóm là gì?
I believe that traveling alone and traveling in groups have their own positive
aspects. When you travel on your own, it is much easier to keep up with your
budget because you are the one who decides where and what to eat. Moreover,
you can get the opportunity to plan your own route and the places you want to
visit. On the other hand, traveling with other people also offers many
advantages. One of the chief benefits of group travel is setting your fears aside
and getting into new environments with greater peace of mind.
Part 4:
1. Món quà được tặng
On my 22nd birthday, I received a great gift from my boyfriend. It was a face
cleaning machine from the third Luna generation of Foreo, a famous brand. The
machine has pink color and is accompanied with a charge, a box and a user
manual. At that time when opening the present, I was surprised and so excited
because it was the item that I have always wished for. My boyfriend was aware
that I was trying to save money to purchase it, so he decided to give it to me.
2. Nó giúp gì
I use this machine everyday on my daily skincare route. It helps me completely
remove the dust on my face after every wash, thereby reducing acne. In addition,
I also apply its massage function that can relax and strengthen the skin. After
nearly 6 months of using the machine, my face has significantly improved. My
skin appears to be smoother and brighter.
3. Tại sao mọi người lại tặng quà?
Gifts are objects that are used to show and transmit appreciation to one another,
as well as to advertise. Any present has its own meaning for the giver, which can
 be expressed as gratitude, blessing, filial devotion, or love. Therefore, people
exchange gifts to show their concern and understanding for one another and to
replace words of affection. Giving gifts is a kind gesture that brings people closer
together. Presents are frequently treasured for their spiritual value rather than
their monetary value.

5 - 3 người nằm trên bãi cỏ đọc sách

Part 2:
1. Miêu tả tranh: 1 người già, 1 bé gái, 1 phụ nữ đang nằm đọc sách trên thảm cỏ.
In this picture, I can see three people. I guess they are members of a family
including father, mom and daughter. They are lying down on grass and reading
a book. The girl is about 6-8 years old. They seem to be very happy to read the
book together. Based on the background, maybe the picture is taken in a park. It
seems that they are enjoying their weekend.
2. Bạn thường đọc gì?
Some kinds of books that I would prefer to read are biography, historical fiction,
mystery, fantasy and science fiction. During the holiday, science fiction is my
going-to choice, such as exploring time travel, space travel, and future scientific
and technological advances. I can sit and read these books for hours without
getting bored, it not only enables me to broaden my knowledge but also serves as
an entertaining way to wind down after a long day at work.
3. Tại sao đối với trẻ em, đọc sách lại quan trọng.
I suppose that reading brings many benefits to children, especially for children’s
thinking and perception. Reading allows them to develop a better imagination
and get more life information. When you start reading aloud to your child, you
are basically giving them background information about the world, which helps
them make sense of what they see, hear and read. In addition, I think reading is
also good for children’s health because it helps them limit their exposure to
electronic devices.

Part 3:
1. Miêu tả 2 tranh:
- P1: 2 người ngắm cảnh trên thảm cỏ, có bầy chim. Du lịch đồng bằng
Both of the photos depict two different types of outdoor activities.
In the first picture, I can see a couple in a park. They are sitting on the bench.
other people are lying on the grass. In the background, there are many trees and
some doves on the ground
- P2: 2 người leo núi. Du lịch vùng núi.
In contrast, in the second one, there are 2 individuals going hiking. They are
wearing backpacks. They look fit and strong. I can see the blue sky and high
mountains in front of them. I guess they are professional climbers.
2. Sự khác nhau khi đi du lịch ở 2 vùng này.
 I find some differences betweens these outdoor activities. The first activity which
is relaxing in the park is suitable for children and old people. Playing in the
park, people can enjoy the fresh air, calm their minds and do gentle exercises.
Meanwhile, going hiking and climbing the mountains require people to be
stronger and to burn more calories. Therefore, it is appropriate for the young
from 20 to 40 years old. This activity also helps people enhance their health and
keep fit.
3. Bạn nghĩ sao nếu không có hoạt động ngoài trời
From my point of view, it will be boring if we don’t have any outdoor activity.
We will reduce the frequency of physical practice and the interaction with other
people. Then we may use electronic devices more often due to lack of
entertaining activities. In addition, we can suffer some mental and physical
health issues if not taking part in outdoor activities such as stress-induced
depression, decreased immunity due to a deficiency of Vitamin D. That’s not
good at all.
Part 4:
1. Lần cuối bạn thăm thành phố?
It was 2 years ago since the last time I went to HCM city which is one of the most
developed cities in Vietnam. I had a trip to this city with my friends when we had
finished the second year at university. My first impression of HCM city was that
it was so dynamic and modern. The street was large and full of traffic. The
building was tall and modern. The stores opened all day to serve the customers.
There were all necessary services for me such as shopping, food, entertainment
and so on. Everything was quite different from my life in Hanoi.
2. Cảm thấy thế nào khi thấy urgent environment.
To be honest, I have to say that the environment in cities is too bad due to its
pollution situation. Therefore, I am worried about the health of mine and my
parents since we live in such a polluted environment for a long time. And I get
disappointed as many people are not aware of the importance of the current
environmental issues. I think the government should strongly educate citizens
about these problems and find solutions for them.
3. Làm thế nào để cải thiện chất lượng cuộc sống/môi trường ở thành phố?
From my perspective, there are many solutions for people to apply to improve
the quality of the environment. Firstly, people should raise awareness of
protecting the environment. Then we can take practical actions such as planting
trees, using public transportation instead of private vehicles to reduce emissions,
sorting and recycling wastes, using environmentally friendly materials and so on.
In addition, the government needs to release a law which has punishments for
acts of environmental destruction.

Part 2:
1. Miêu tả tranh: Cô gái khoảng 20t mặc áo xám quần jeans nằm đọc sách trên cỏ
dưới ánh nắng.
In the picture, I can see a young girl wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans. She is
about 20 years old. She is lying down on the grass and reading a book. The
weather is nice with sunshine. I guess she is enjoying herself in a park. Maybe
she is spending her weekend relaxing.
2. kể về lần cuối cùng bạn thư giãn.
It was 1 week ago since the last time I relaxed after a long time at work. I had
been so busy finishing my work before quitting the job, so I had got a little bit
stressed out. Then I decided to have a trip with my friend to unwind. During the
trip, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, tried local foods and took part in many
physical activities that made us forget the pressure and relieve stress. Thanks to
this journey, I was able to refresh myself and balance my life.
3. thư giãn có quan trọng với mọi người ko ? Tại sao.
In my opinion, relaxing is critical to people’s lives. Relaxation helps balance the
negative mental and physical effects of stress that we experience everyday.
Relaxing allows us to have a more positive outlook on our lives and reduces
symptoms of mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness.
Besides, relaxation also has other related health benefits, such as reducing your
heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.

Part 3:
1. Miêu 2 tả tranh:
- P1: Người phụ nữ ngồi trên sofa nghe nhạc trong phòng khách.
Both of the photos depict different ways to enjoy the music.
In the first picture, I can see a girl sitting on a sofa at home. She is wearing
…shirt, pants, headphones/earphones. She looks so cheerful. I guess she is
listening to her favorite songs. Maybe this picture is taken in a living room.
- P2: Band nhạc với 5 men 1 young girl đang chơi nhạc và hát.
In contrast, in the second one, there is a band including 5 men and a woman.
They all are playing musical instruments. The woman is singing. I guess they are
performing in a music show or concert. They look professional.
2. Trải nghiệm âm nhạc khác nhau ntn trong 2 bức tranh.
I find some differences between these ways to enjoy the music. When listening to
music at home, you normally experience the recorded songs which have a higher
quality than live music because they are edited and perfected in various ways.
However, many individuals are attracted to live musical shows because of the
experience. Going to live performances gives them a chance to see their idols up
close and even to interact with the celebrities.
3. Tại sao mọi người thích nghe nhạc.
In my opinion, I think people love listening to music for a number of reasons. To
begin with, music brings our mind a pleasant feeling to help us unwind after a
long time at work. Besides, music can be used to express personality, convey
 emotions and send messages to others that will connect people together. Listening
to music is one of the most useful methods to heal the soul. I believe that music is
the cheapest medication for mental issues.
Part
4:
1. Kể về 1 lần gặp người bạn mới.
I would like to talk about the first time I met my best friend, Anna. Actually,
we used to be the students in the same class at university 5 years ago. And we
were also deskmates. My first feeling when I saw her was about her
appearance. She was quite tall and slim, and she had a beautiful smile. She was
the first person
who said hello to me when I came in the class and told me to sit at the same table
with her. Then we often studied in groups, so we had a lot of opportunities to
interact with each other. After that, we began to see our similarities and grew
closer.
2. Lợi ích từ trải nghiệm đó là gì.
I think the experience of meeting a new friend brought me some benefits. First of
all, I had a chance to connect with a good person who is very kind and always
willing to help others. In addition, I could expand my relationships and learn
about different characteristics which helped me easily make friends with suitable
one. For me, having a new friend is to get more happiness.
3. Chúng ta hưởng được lợi ích từ những người bạn mới ntn.
I think making new friends will bring us valuable experiences. Firstly, a new
friend can give us more social support. By expanding our network of friends, we
will be able to have good relationships which may assist us in different aspects of
life, from study to work. Furthermore, a new friend can turn out to be my best
friend. When we make friends with someone new, we never know how close of
a friend he or she may become. In case we met an inappropriate person, that
would be an unforgettable lesson for us about forming a new relationship.
