1/ Talk about the causes and effects of a specific type of pollution .

Water pollution is the contamination of bodies of water such as lakes, rivers,

oceans and ground water. It is one of the most serious types of pollution.
Water pollution can have many different causes. Factories dump industrial waste
into lakes and rivers. Sewage from households is another cause. Farms using
pesticides to kill insects and herbicides to kill weeds can also lead to water
pollution.
Water pollution can have dramatic effects. In many poor countries, there are
frequent outbreaks of cholera and other diseases. People can even die if they
drink contaminated water. Polluted water also causes the death of aquatic
animals. Other animals eat these dead animals may also get sick. In addition,
herbicides in water can kill aquatic plants and cause further damage to the
environment.

2/ Talk about an English speaking country you want to visit.

Scotland is an English speaking country I want to visit. It is in the north of Great
Britain . It is famous for its rich culture as well as its amazing natural beauty.
Visitors to this land can spend endless day exploring its historic centuries-old
castles. The people there are very friendly.

3/ Talk about a natural disaster that happened in your country.

Today I talk about a typhoon that hit Nghe An last year. The storm began at
around 11 p.m and raged throughout the night. Dozens of people were seriously
injured and hundreds of others were homeless. The severe wind caused extensive
damage to property, including homes and businesses. Rescure operations have
started and many people trapped or collapsed buildings have been freed. The
government has already sent rescue equipment to Nghe An as well as food and
medical supplies.

4/ Talk about ways of future communication .

In the future, telepathy will be the most popular way of communication.
Telepathy uses a tiny device placed into our head. Information will be sent and
received directly to and from our brains. We will be communicating just by
thought over the network without having to use words. We even understand
what our pets are thinking. That will be very amazing. In addition, holography - a
video conference technology with three dimensional images will help us interact
in real time in completely different places.

5/ Scientific advances can help us solve problems in the future ? Do you agree or
disagree , why ?

I agree. Scientific advances are the keys to development in every field. Robots
will work in factories to replace people to do dangerous jobs and free our labour
by doing housework at home. Moreover, we will have flying cars and spaceships
so that we can travel faster and further than before, we even won’t have traffic
jam anymore. About Education, we don’t have to travel to school, we just stay at
home and learn on the Internet. It’s convenient and saves time.
