5. This summer, you would like to spend time on sports. There are three
places you can choose: in a gym, in a local park, or at home. Which place
do you think is the best choice?
This summer, I would like to spend time on sports. I think at home is the best
choice. Because I bought things which I can use to do exercise. So I can
practice at home. This helps me save money. Although I don't have enough
equipment to exercise at home like in the gym or the fresh air and spacious
space like in a local park, it helps me protect my health. In fact, the covid-19
epidemic is breaking out very strongly and I can't go out or go to crowded
places. So at home is the best choice.
6. You are considering to buy a birthday present for your mother. Which would
be the best choice: a clothing item, a cookery book, or a pair of movie tickets?
I am considering buying a pair of movie tickets as a birthday present for my
mom. My parents have never been to a movie at the cinema before, so I want to
fulfil my wishes. My mother is a homemaker and rarely goes out, so I also want
her to adept hang out to relieve stress. Instead of my mother having to watch a
cookery book while cooking, she can watch it on youtube or google, which is
much more convenient. Beside my mom has a lot of clothing item that she
hasn’t worn and they are new and fashionable. If I give clothes now, it'll be a
waste because my mummy doesn't wear them. In short, my choice is a pair of
movie tickets.
7.Your friend is the best student of the class this year. His parents are thinking
about a present for him/ her. There are three options:
a laptop
a holiday
some money.
What would you suggest them?
In this situation, I choose money for some of the following reasons:
Firstly, my friend can buy anything you like. She can buy what you need
without having to ask for more money from her parents or saving that money.
In contrast, In my opinion, both a laptop and a holiday are not suitable for this
situation because:
+To a laptop, her laptop already has one, so there is no need to buy it anymore
(The cost of the laptop is very expensive).
+To a holiday, the COVID-19 epidemic is complicated, it is not recommended
to travel for holiday. (It will affect your own health).
8. You are making plans for the family trip this weekend. You are considering a
type of accommodation among three options:
a camper van
a tent
a hotel.
What would be the most suitable choice?
On the contrary, in my opinion, both camper van and a tent are not suitable for
this situation because:
-To a tent, my family and I have no experience in setting up a tent and choosing
a good tent. Moreover, my family has both children and the elderly, so it will be
very dangerous and unsafe. Especially when in the forest because there are wild
animals.
-To a camping vehicle, this vehicle is not popular in Vietnam. Furthermore, its
cost is very expensive, so it is not suitable.
To sum up, a hotel is my best choice.
10. You’ve just graduated from university and got a job. You’re considering to
buy an item which is helpful for your job. Which would be the best choice:
a laptop
a smart phone
a motorbike
I have just graduated from university and got a job and I will choose to buy a
laptop to serve my work for some of the following reasons:
- Firstly, Laptop is a useful device for my job .I am a teacher, I really need
it to find documents, prepare lesson plans. And lectures before going to
class.
- Secondly, I can entertain stressful times. Moreover, Laptop is a modern
device. It has the function of music player, television and many other
useful things. Therefore it’s very convenient and easy to use.
In contrast, in my opinion, both a smart phone and a motorbike are not
suitable for this situation because:
- To a smartphone, I already have it.
- To a motorbike ,if my place of work is very close to home, I will walk
or bike to work . and if my place of work is far to home, I will ride my
dad’s motorbike because he doesn’t use it.
To sum up, laptop is my best choice.
11. You would like to inform your friends that you are getting married. Which
types of communication would be the best choice for you:
sending cards
making phone calls
updating a Facebook status
In this situation, I choose to make phone calls for some of the following reasons:
Firstly, making a phone is convenient and easy:
+Nowaday, technology develops so many rituals are also changed.
Instead of going door to door to invite us to a wedding, just a phone makes it easier.
Secondly, making phone calls will save us time. It makes it more convenient for us to
invite people for away to our wedding. We don’t need to go to those places.
In contrast, both sending cards and updating a Facebook status are not suitable for
this situation because:
+To sending cards: this is convenient when we have distant relatives. We have to go
to the place to give them the sending cards. It is very time-consuming.
+To updating a FB status, this isn’t possible. Those invited will feel not being
respected. And I think if we updating the status on FB no one will come to our
wedding. And it has the added inconvenience that there are many people who don’t
use FB who won’t see this invitation.
12.You’re planning to hold a project to help protect wild animals in your local
area. There are three suggested topics:
planting trees
eating no meat
reducing plastic.
Which do you think would be the most suitable one?
In this situation, I choose making reducing plastic for some of the following
reasons:
Firstly, reducing plastic is a good idea that helps protect the environment. Every
year our country has to spend a large amount of money to recycle and destroy
this waste. Therefore, I find this very useful.
Secondly, reducing plastic is an easy thing to do without any measures. This is
an action that anyone can do.
In contrast, both planting trees and eating no meat isn’t suitable for this
suitable because:
+To planting trees, I live in the countryside, so I have a lot of trees around. I
don’t think this is necessary.
+To eating no meat, this is a really hard thing to do. Meat is a source of
nutrition for humans. If you have a plant to not eat meat! can you do it? If it
were me, I wouldn’t be able to do it.
13.You are not happy with your work-life balance now. You feel stressful and
would like to go somewhere for a period of time. Which place do you think will
be the best choice for you:
the mountain
the beach
Well, if I have to make a decision among the three options above, I would choose the
beach.
There are some reasons for my choice:
+Enjoy the sunrise in the early morning,
+walk on the white sand and immerse yourself in the sea.
+Enjoying the salty taste of the sea, the soul becomes light, chaotic and stress is
relieved
I don’t choose:
-The mountain:
+ because I do not like the wilderness, too quiet of the mountains and I am afraid
of the animals that I might meet while there.
-the countryside:
+ I'm in the countryside and I'm so familiar I want to find a new place, a new
feeling.
=> To sum up, from my point of view, going to the beach is the most ideal choice for
me to reduce stress.
14.This summer you and your friends are planning to go on a trip through
Vietnam. Here are three means of transport you are considering:
by motorbike
by train
by plane
Which would be the best choice?
In this situation, personally, I choose motorbike for some following reasons:
Firstly , traveling by motorbike is convenient and easy.
+ Motorbike can go anywhere I want to go.
+When traveling by motorbike , we can stop and admire the beautiful scenery along
the way. We can go to places that can be reached by train or plane and discover more
new things.
Secondly, traveling through Vietnam by motorbike is very cheap.
+ Because I have a motorbike , I only need to pay for fuel. Thus, we can save big
money to do other things.
In contrast, both train and plane are not suitable for this situation because:
By train, +If I take by train, I can’t see much beauty. We could see the beautiful
scenery through the train’s window..
+I don't like the vibration and noise
By plane, flight tickets are very expensive. I don’t have much money.
In conclusion, Motorbike is the best choice for me

considering what to do with the money:
saving it in the bank

buying your own house
Which would be the best choice?
In this situation, personally, I choose saving it in the bank for some following
reasons:
Firsly, saving it in the bank is safer.
+ When I deposit money in the bank I will receive interest on that money.
+ I will put my parent’s name in the bank account. My parents will receive the
money safely.
Secondly, Saving in the bank will keep me from spending extravagantly
In contrast, Both giving it to your parents and buying your own house are not
suitable for this situation because :
To giving it to your parents, my parent will be in danger of receiving large
amount of money . They can be stolen when storing money at home.
To buying your own house, I live with my parents so this is not necessary.
In conclusion, saving it in the bank is the best choice for me.

reasons:
Firstly, Searching for information on travel websites is very convenient.
+ The internet is very popular there days, so you will not waste time searching.
Secondly, you can see a lot of places and the selection becomes easier. The website
will show the price and location so you can compare this place with other places to
suit your family.
In contrast, both ask friends and ask a travel agent are not suitable for this situation
because:
To ask friend, my friend rarely travel so they don’t know about this issue.
To ask a travel agent , this is very time consuming and slow. It’s also unnecessary for
me.
In conclusion, visit travelling websites is the best choice for me
