Part 2: You have two weeks before final exams. Would you stay home to
revise for the test; go on holiday with family; join friends for parties? What is
your best choice?

three choices: staying at home to revise for the test, going on holiday with my
family or joining my friends for parties.
=> In this situation I think staying at home to study for my exam is the best
choice because exams are very important for me. I want to get good results in the
exams, so I have to spend time preparing for it.
=> I don’t think that this is a suitable time to go on holiday with my family or
join friends for parties. I can join with them after I finish the exam and I am sure
that my parents and my friends will understand why I can’t go with them.

for me.

much more expensive and people can only watch it at a fixed time.

remote class. There are three options: reading books, buying clothes and
watching movies.
=> In this situation I think buying clothes is the best choice because children in
remote areas do not often have new clothes, so this can make them feel very happy.
=> I don’t think that reading books is suitable because children have to read
many books in their classes. Asking them to read more can make them feel tired.

THÊM 12 TINH HUỐNG KHÁC

1.What are you going to do in the summer? Leaning a language course; doing
voluntary work or learning to play a sport. Which do you think is the best
choice?
My situation is that……
- In my opinion attending an English course is the best choice/option because of
the following reasons.
- Firstly, it is a requirement for all students to have B1 certificate before
graduation at university. Taking an English course helps me better prepare for the
test.
- Secondly, If I learn English well, I will have a good job with high salary.
- About other 2 options: Doing voluntary work is good for the local community
but for me, learning English is more important to me at this time.
- Taking up sport isn’t my choice because I already go for a walk everyday, which
is good for my health.
- In short, learning a language course is my best choice.

2. A group of students are discussing where to buy clothes: in a shop; in an

open-air market; in an online shop. Which do you think is the best choice?
My situation is that……

- In my opinion buying clothes in an open-air market is the best choice for the
following reasons.
- Firstly, there is a wide range of clothes in the open-air market, there are many
shops selling different kinds of clothes.
- Secondly, it is cheaper than in the shop.
- I don’t choose to buy in an online shop because I can’t try them on, It is difficult
to know whether they fit me or not. Besides, clothes online looks really nice thanks
to photoshop.
- In short, I would prefer to buy clothes in an open-air market.
3. A first year student is going to choose where to live: living in a university
hostel; renting a flat or staying with relatives? Which do you think is the best
choice?
My situation is that……

- In my opinion, a first year student should live in a university hostel for the
following reasons.
- Firstly, it is cheap to stay there. Students have to pay tuition fees, pay for food,
books and so on. So, living in the dormitory can save them a lot of money.
- Secondly, It is convenient to stay there because it is close to university, students
can walk there. It saves time and money.
- Besides, It is easy to share the learning materials for study with roommates.
Students can study in groups with roommates, can ask them for advice or discuss
with them.
- I don’t choose to rent a flat because it is expensive.
- I don’t want to stay with relatives because I think I don’t feel comfortable, they
might live far from university.
- In short, living in university dormitory is the best option.

4. If you won the lottery of 1 billion VND; what would you do? Buying a
house? Buying gold or saving in the bank?
My situation is that……

Which do you think is the best choice?

- I think I would buy a house because at the moment I have to rent a house.
- In my opinion, a stable accommodation leads to a stable job.
 - I don’t choose to buy gold because I am not good at doing business, the
price of gold goes up and down I don’t know. Moreover, I am worried about
where to keep it.
- I think it is not a good idea to save money in the bank because the interest
rate is now low. Moreover, money will lose its value when we keep it in the
bank because of inflation.
- In short, I would choose to buy a house.

5. You have a younger brother who is a talented student. Which high school
would you choose for him: a school abroad in Australia; a public school near
home or a gifted school far from home.
My situation is that……

- In my opinion, a public school near my house is the best option because of the
following reasons.
- Firstly, he can still live with my family. He can be well taken care of/ my family
can take care of him well.
- Secondly, as he lives at home, my family does not have to pay for his rent or
other living costs.
- I don’t choose a gifted school far away from home because he has to live on his
own, can’t see the family often, he might feel homesick.
- I think studying abroad is not a good option because living in another country is
quite challenging for a young person like him.
- In short, wherever he studies, it is himself who decided what he can learn, so I
think the public school close to my house is the best choice for him.
6. You want to improve your English speaking skills. There are 3 options for
you: joining an English club; joining an English class at the center or talking
to foreigners in public places.
My situation is that……

- In my opinion taking an English course if the best choice because of the

following reasons.
- Firstly, a course in an English center gives me lessons from the beginning level to
higher level. It provides me with a lot of real life situations. I can take part in many
speaking activities.
- Secondly, the teachers in the center are always the experienced teachers who
know which materials are the best for the students, they can correct the mistakes,
they have good teaching methods which make students find easy to understand.
- I don’t choose to join an English club because it is often noisy, you hardly hear
what other people are saying. No one corrects my mistakes.
- I do not choose to talk to foreigners in public places because they are busy
sightseeing, they are not willing to speak to us.
- In short, taking an English course is the best option to me.

7. Your school asks for your opinion about wearing uniforms. Which would
you choose: wearing uniforms all week, wearing uniforms 2 days a week or no
uniform at all?

My situation is that……

reasons.
- Firstly, students dress in the same way; there is no difference between the rich
students and the poor students so the poo students will feel more confident.
- Secondly, students wear uniforms all week, so they don’t have to think of what to
wear everyday or mix different clothes before getting to school.
- Finally, uniforms show the school unity. They tell other people what school you
belong to.
- In short, wearing uniforms all week is still a good option. Many schools are now
asking students to wear uniforms all week.

thinking about a present, there are three options: a laptop; a holiday or some
money. Which option would you suggest him?

for his study. With a laptop, he can search for information, he can learn English
online.
- Secondly, he can relax by reading listening to music, read books online.
- I don’t choose a holiday because every year his family usually goes on holidays.
- I think some money is not a good choice because money is not a suitable present
for a school student.

9. You have a Sunday evening out with your friends: seeing a movie, going
shopping or singing karaoke. Which one would you choose?

money on buying favorite items such as clothes, shoes.

hours.

feel really relaxed and excited.

difficult to choose a film that all of us like.

like too noisy atmosphere in karaoke bars.

Sunday evening.

before graduation. Which option do you think is the best one: a collection of
essays; a class photo book or a class video?

- Firstly, making a video helps to record real emotions and voices of all class
members.
- Secondly, we can keep unforgettable memories in an exciting way with a video.
We can both see images and hear voices of our friends.
- Finally, we can keep it as a soft copy on google drive to avoid being lost.
Whenever we want to see we can open it. And it is easy to share, easy to keep.
- I don’t choose a collection of essays because it takes my classmates much time to
prepare and write essays. It is quite boring to read all of them.
- A photo book is not my choice because it is not as interesting as a class video.
- In short, a class video is my choice to keep memories.

person getting accident. There are 3 options: keep going and ignore; stop to
help that person or take the exam; simultaneously call the ambulance.

of the following reasons.

- Firstly, the exam is very important to me. This is my final term test.

- Secondly, calling the ambulance can help him get the immediate emergency aid
from the hospital. Experienced doctors know the best way to treat him and save his
life.

- I don’t keep going and ignore because I think it is important to save a person’s
life as we live in the same society, we should have each other in life.

- Although stopping to help that person is a good idea, I might miss the important
exam.

- In short, call the ambulance is the best choice in this case.

company because of the following reasons.
- Firstly, leaflets can be delivered to a large number of people. They are easily
delivered everywhere. I can post leaflets through people’s doors or distribute them
in public places.
- Secondly, leaflets can attract customers’ attention with colorful and eye-catching
images. On the leaflets, there is a lot of information about the product, design,
function, use.

sometimes phone calls annoy customers.
