Lunar New Year Festival often falls between late January and early February; it is among the
most important holidays in Vietnam. Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day in
Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese people often spend nearly a month celebrating this special
event. Tet Holiday gets its beginning marked with the first day in the Lunar Year; however, its
preparation starts long before that. The 23rd day of the last Lunar month is East Day—a ritual
worshiping Kitchen Gods (Tao Cong). It thought that each year on this day, these Gods go to
heaven to tell Jade Emperor about all activities of households on earth. On New Year’s Eve, they
return home to continue their duties as taking care of families. On New Year’s Day, the first ones
who come to visit households—called first-foot—are very important and hence need to be well
chosen, as they believed to hold in their hands the entire luck of the family in New Year (Tan
Nien). After that, till the third day or even the fourth day of Tet, individuals meet relatives,
friends, and colleagues, wishing them all kinds of good things like happiness, health, and
success.

2. Write about your hobby

Most of my friends like to stay inside to play video games, read books or watch TV, but I have a
good hobby of going outside and playing sports. I play many different sports in my free time;
some of them are soccer, swimming, volleyball and basketball. Sometimes I also ride the bikes
or do board skating with my cousin in the park. In my opinion, doing sport is one of the rare
hobbies that actually have good impacts on me. I am taller than most of my classmates thanks to
swimming and basketball lessons that I take during summer time. My muscles are even stronger
than my older brother, and I can last longer than most other people in any sport competition.
Sports bring me a lot of benefits, and they are also fun things to do at the same time. I love the
feeling of the cool water run through my face when I am swimming, and it seems like I am
flying whenever I take a dive underwater. When I play soccer, it is very exciting for me or my
teammates to score a goal even though we do not take part in any tournament. Both of my
physical and mental health become better after I play sports, so it can be considered as the best
things to do in my free time. Sports are like a part of my life besides other activities, and I will
continue to play sports till I am too weak for them.

3 Write about your ideal lover in future

Each person must have the ideal partner for themselves. For me, my ideal partner is a good heart,
honesty, and respect parents, hardworking, and educated. Moreover, she is also a pretty and
attractive woman.

Firstly, I love my ideal partner very much because she is enough clever to keep my heart
cheerful and always helps me when I need her, especially in my studies.

Besides that, my girlfriend is good heart and responsible when she always reminds me that
education is very important because that is what determines our future.

Therefore I have to put my education first and when I have problems in studying, we can share
with each other to solve together. Last but not least, my woman always respect my parents by
greeting them, asking them whenever she helping them in some situations.

For my conclusion, when we want to choose the ideal partner for us, we must know the
background of her life and characteristics so that we can choose a suitable lover in the future

4. Write about your favorite subject at school

When going to school, there are many subjects; however I still like literature the most. First,
literature plays an important role in both education and daily life. Literature is not limit to a
subject to be learnt at school. Furthermore, this subject teaches human about several aspects of
life. From the very first step, student learns to write, read as well as describe things and people.
Moreover, literature teaches one to be a responsible citizen and likeable personality. Literature is
more than a subject, it’s an art and it can be applied directly into life such as: journalism, editor.
People are not born to learn this unique subject, it needs long time to exercise to master. Besides,
when learning literature people not only know more works of art but also understand culture,
tradition of each country. Literature is the mirror reflecting human and their lifestyle. Studying
literature means learning the way to love and live a true life. All in all, with great benefits of
literature, it is necessary for each society especially developing countries.

5. Write about your favorite sport

I love a quite strange sport for everyone, and it is ping pong. Not many people in Vietnam who
are interested in ping pong, and it is also hard to find a place to actually have enough equipment
to play it. Ping pong, or it also known as table tennis, consists of two or four players hitting a
lightweight ball back and forth on a table. The table is divided in two halves by a net, and it
marks the playing zone of each team. The basic rule for amateurs is pretty simple as players need
to let the ball touch their side of the table one time before bouncing back. They then hit the ball
back to their opponent’s side with a small paddle, and this time the ball also need to touch the
other side of the table as well. A point is counted when a player fail to return back the ball, let it
touch the net, or make it land outside of the table. Since it is played on a table, so the area is not
big enough for us to wait and think about the next move. Therefore, we need to play it with fast
reactions and nonstop motions. We only have one second to act the next step right after hitting
the ball, and it does not take much time to complete a set. In a competition, and match usually
consists of five or seven sets, and the first one to score 11 points wins a set. Many people do not
take this sport serious, but I think it is a very good sport to train both of our physical and mental
health as we need to be tough and have quick reactions at the same time.

6. Write about a person you love most

My mother is a person I admire most. She devoted a lot of time and energy to the upbringing of
my two brothers and I. Despite working hard, she always made time to teach us many useful
things which are necessary and important in our later lives. Moreover, she is a good role model
for me to follow. She always tries to get on well with people who live next door and help
everyone when they are in difficulties, so most of them respect and love her. I admire and look
up to my mother because she not only brings me up well but also stands by me and gives some
help if necessary. For example, when I encounter some difficulties, she will give me some
precious advice to help me solve those problems. She has a major influence on me and I hope
that I will inherit some of her traits.

7. Write about the subject you hate most at school

Back in high school, the subject that I really hated was literature. I did not understand why others
could write easily but I could not. Honestly, I really admired my friends because they always
wrote long essays, and theirs all were full of feelings. When I look back now, I can figure out
some reasons. First of all, I belonged to natural science. That was why I always got five scores
for literature but maximum ones for math. The second reason was also the most critical factor
that impacted negatively on my writing skill. I remember that I had to write unreal things in my
essays. For instance, my teachers were not perfect but I had to describe them as angels. How
could I write well when the lies always stopped my ideas? In my opinion, this was the worst
teaching way because the teachers were killing students' self-expression and teaching their
students how to tell lies. Fortunately, I was not good at writing, but I have never failed the exams
because I always beat my brains out to finish my essays.

9. Write about your plan for future

Everybody has a plan for future. Though future is uncertain and many times unpredictable, I
believe that to some extent our future depends on our actions on past and present. In the future, I
want to run a mega shopping mall business where my involvement would not be mandatory to
run the daily business and I would enjoy my time by visiting different places of the world.

After I finished my graduation, I started working for a small company. Now I am working for a
large multinational company I have planned to work till I become 36 and then I will take early
retirement. The money I will inherit and the amount I am currently saving per month should
allow me to start a business. I have planned to start a big shopping mall. I will have my close
relatives as the employees and authorities of the business and initially I will work in this
shopping mall for 2-3 years to make it run smoothly. When the business would go on with its
own path, I will enjoy my vacation and would visit different renowned and beautiful cities of the
world. I will visit Asia, Europe, Russia and many more places.

Hopefully, I will enjoy the retirement and the trips. Though I am not sure about the future but I
have already planned for it. Because I believe proper planning and initiation is the half of the
total task and fulfilling dream. I have already taken some steps towards achieving my future
plan.

16. Viết đoạn văn về quyển sách yêu thích

The book that I love most is “Hachiko - the waiting dog”. The book tells the story of the famous
dog named Hachiko and friendship with his owner – professor Eisaburo. Hachiko lives with the
professor’s family in Tokyo. Everyday, in the morning, Hachiko followed professor Eisaburo to
the gas station when he commuted to work. And every afternoon, at 5 pm, no matter how sunny
or rainy it was, the dog came to the gas station to wait for the professor comming back home.
The way from home to the station and from the station to home was Hachiko’s the happiest time.
Professor Eisaburo always confessed with Hachiko, talked and played with him. They had been
together for a long time before a tragedy came up. As every day, Hachiko was waited for the
professor coming back. But the professor had passed away because of a stroke when he was
presenting on the stage. Not being discouraged, Hachiko still waited for the professor the
following days regardless of any kind of weather. Once the professor’s wife sent him to the
countryside far away from Tokyo, but Hachiko tried to escape and backed in the station to
continue waiting until he died. This was a touching story and made me cry many times. I kept
the book carefully and read again when I meet difficulties on school. The book helps me release
stress and depression. Thanks to the book, I can learn a precious lesson.

18. Write about your dream

To be a doctor to cure everyone is my biggest dream. Honestly, I’ve lived with my beloved
grandfather since I was a child. My grandfather often gets sick, so I was determined to be a good
doctor to take care of people like my grandpa. Every day, in addition to my school knowledge, I
often read medical books, and learn more on some medical websites to study specialized
knowledge. The more I learn, the more I love this job. In the upcoming university exam, I will
register my aspirations to Hanoi Medical University. This will be a stepping stone for me to
become a real doctor.

19. Write about traffic problem in Vietnam

Traffic safety and traffic that the world now needs to pay attention. It is not only the most
important factors crucial to the development and survival of a nation, a territory but a junction of
trade between regions of countries, cultures on world together. In advanced countries, the
situation and development of their traffic is quite developed with a dense transport network and
is regulated, but in Vietnam, … Urban transport situation in Vietnam is extremely chaotic. On
average there are thousands of cases every year in traffic accidents, causing serious loss of life

and property. Despite being upgraded and renovated several times but the transport system of
Vietnam has not improved as much. Traffic jams occur repeatedly in large cities damaging
hundreds of billion per year, not only that the injuries related to traffic accidents is also
increasing, especially head injuries, spine. Circulation of vehicles on roads, railways, waterways
each year but with increasing road infrastructure can present data to help the traffic situation.

20. Describe a wonder of Viet Nam

The karst seascape of Ha Long Bay is one of the world’s most spellbinding sea views and is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. With the bay’s scenery best seen by boat, this is prime cruising
territory. You should opt for at least an overnight tour to see Ha Long Bay’s iconic views as a
day trip doesn’t do it justice. There are plenty of caves in the bay that can be entered including
the Hang Sung Sot, with three mammoth caverns, and the Hang Dao Go, with superbly weird
stalagmites and stalactites. For most people though, the highlight is simply cruising amid the
karsts and soaking up the changing scenery of pinnacles as you pass by.

21. Describe your hometown

My hometown is Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. It is located in Northern Vietnam. It is well
known for Vietnam’s largest cultural and political center. Hanoi is famous for typical tropical
seasoned place of SouthEast Asia with four seasons: fresh, green and cool in Spring, a bit hot in
Summer, fine in the fall and cold in Winter. One things makes my hometown special is that you
can meet both contemporary and classical architecture right in the city center. Beside many
buildings and shopping center, you can see historical places such as Tran Quoc Pagoda, Hoa Lo
Prison, Temple Literature,… Moreover, street food can be found on the main streets of Hanoi,
and down many of the side streets and alleyways. You have to try some of the most popular
foods in Hanoi, such as: Noodle, Rolled cake, West Lake shrimp cake,… However, one of the
main downsides of Hanoi is environmental problems such as air pollution, caused by heavy
traffic. Therefore, government builds many parks and plants trees. I love my hometown very
much because it is an interesting place to live.

22. Write a paragraph about doing household chores

All my family members agree that we should share the housework equally. There are four people
in my family including my parents, my older brother and me. My dad is responsible for doing
heavy lifting because of his strength. My mum does most of the cooking and shops for groceries.
Being the elder child in the family, my older brother, Phong takes up a large share of housework.
He does the washing-up, and waters the houseplants every day. My brother sometimes does the
cooking when our mum is busy. My responsibilities include taking out the rubbish, washing
clothes and cleaning the fridge once a week. My brother and I take turns laying the table for
meals, tidying up the house, and feeding the dog. Therefore, we are willing to work together on
household chores.
