Speaking Test 4
I'm living in Bien Hoa city which is a medium city with well developed facilities.
There are lots of vehicles on the road all day such as: buses, taxies, cars, motorbikes
The traffic is worst during the rush hour when everyone is attempting to get to work or
get home quickly.
I’m studying at LH university, which is quite far from my home .And that means i
have to go to school early in order to avoid traffic jams. But I’ve also been late to
school sometimes due to traffic.
I go to school by motorbike because it is very convenient. in vietnam

About my favourite means of transport, motorbike of course. On my motorbike, I can

ts advantage is that it is small and quick. Because of its advantages, I can pass other
vehicles when traffic is blocked.

1. Do you like travelling? What means of transportation do you use?

Of course. Travelling is like a hobby for me. It helps me explore new things, new
culture and broaden my knowledge. Aslo reat way to relax and disconnect from work
and daily routine. Usually, I go on a trip on national holidays with my family when I
have lots of time on my hand.
About the transports, I’m not sure, let me think. For very long distances an airplane
is the best mean of transpor.For short trip, car or motorbike are the pefect choice
2. Do you use motorbike/bus to travel to school?

Motorbike is my all-time favorite means of transportation because it is very

convenient traveling by motorbike .I have my own motorbike so I don’t have to travel
by public transportation. I rarely take bus bc The bus is always too crowded in the
morning. It makes me tired to think about being pushed and elbowed by others
3. What do you think about public transportation in Bien Hoa?

Name some means of oublic transportation in Bien Hoa. Do we have good

public transportation in Bien Hoa.
Most people in Vietnam prefer and rely on their private vehicles to get around,
especially the motorcycles. Bien Hoa is also no exception. We have a wide choice of
transport such as trains, buses, taxis and others but Our public transport system is
rather underdeveloped and limited or even non-existent. Bus is quite popular but not
always reliable.  It's easy to take buses in daytime from 8am to 7pm. But after 7pm.
it's difficult to find one. You should take a taxi after that time and it's not affordable
for everyone .Train isn’t widely preferred as it’s way too old and too slow.
4. Is there a speed limit for motorbikes in Huynh Van Nghe Stresst in BH?

Yes. For motorbikes, the speed limit is 40km/h in urban areas and 60km/h on
highways and rural roads — unless the signs tell you otherwise. And in Huynh Van
Nghe Street, speed limit for motorbike is 40km/h of course.
5. Do you you have a motorbike? When did you get it?

Yea i do. Its my dad’s motorbike. He gave it to me two months after i got i driver
license so i could practice the way to school. It has black color and kida heavy.
6. Do you have a drivers license?
I got my driver’s license in the summer holidays before I went to university, as had
much free time and less pressure at that time.
One thing i like about having d... is that you can go anywhere, anytime you want to. In
other words, you can enjoy great deal of freedom.
 7. How much does the gasoline cost?
I just tod up the petrol for my motorbike this morning. I remember it was about 24
thousand dong for 1 litre. Costs me nearly 100 to fill up my vehicle.
8. Is it expensive to take a taxi?
I’m not sure. It actually depends on some conditions. For example, taxis are really
expensive during peak periods or when it rains. Taxis can be expensive if you use
them a lot, or go long distances. You wil also pay alot if you flag down a taxi or fine
one at a taxs stand instead of calling a taxi service.
10. When travelling to far places, do you prefer taking a train or a plan?
By plane, of course, coz it doesn’t take me too long to get to my destination. It’s kind
of exhausted andunpleasant to me to travel by other types, you know, I don’t want to
waste my valuable time just getting there while I can use that time to enjoy and do lots
of more important things.”

Speaking Test 5
Da Lat is the capital city of Lam Dong province in Vietnam. It is also known as the
City of Flowers and honeymooners with lovely French villas, the fresh air, the
beautiful waterfalls and gorgeous lakes.

In the summer of 2019, I went on a vacation to Da Lat for one week with my best
friends. We stayed here for 3 days.

Dalat has acquired quite a reputation for a number of things. To start of, let’s talk a
bout the weather here.To me, the weather there was so perfect, it was still always cold
during that summer. The atmosphere there was very clean and fresh, which made me
feel very comfortable. Which made me surprised most is that the hotel we stayed has
no air-conditional, but we still felt cold, that’s awesome.

My friends and i visited Da Lat Market to eat various foods and fruits. I had a chance
to taste “Banh trang nuong” and it was awesome, a perfect food for a cool night. On
the next few days, we visited different tourist attractions such as the Love Valley, the
Pongour waterfall,… There were many tourists also coming there.
There’re some reasons i like about this trip.

First, I could escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and get close to nature
instead. Second, my social circle has widened considerably as I’ve still kept in touch
with several friends I made along this trip. It was such a once-in-a-lifetime
experience!

1. What were the people like there?

The locals in Dalat are known for their kind, amiable and hospitable nature, always
willing to lend a hand when someone needs directions or assistance.
2. Did you participate in any activities during that trip? What were they?
Yeah i did.
I visited the strawberry garden in Dalat. Here, I only need to pay the entrance
ticket and can pick and eat strawberries as much as we want.
The valley of love, of course. How could i forget? I went to the valley of love in
Dalat. It’s very spacious here, we walked around and took a lot of commemorative
photos
I also visited the Puppy Farm, where many cute dogs live happily together.
3. How often do you go travelling?
Travelling is like a hobby for me. It helps me explore new things, new culture and
broaden my knowledge. Aslo reat way to relax and disconnect from work and daily
routine. Usually, I go on a trip on national holidays with my family when I have lots
of time on my hand.
4. Should people often go travelling?
One of the best things you can do for your mental health every now and again,
especially as a busy college student with an evening job or a young professional
working 12-hour shifts, is to disconnect in order to recharge.
5. Did you go travelling when you were a child? Where did you go to?
Well, when I was a child my parents took me to travel to many different places
Vietnam. Two trips that I like the most were the trip to Halong Bay, one of the seven
most beautiful natural wonders in the world, when I was seven and the trip to Nha
Trang when I was eight.
6. Do you prefer to travel by train or by plane?
It's depend on your budget. If you need comfort and want to save time then travel by
plane and if you want to travel within the budget and if there is no restriction of time
then travel by train. I personally prefer plane,because its more convenient and
comfortable for passenger, have modern systems to take care of security of passengers
7. Do you like travelling by motorbike?
I do. But just for short trip. Its cheap and convenient.
For example during rush hour, if you travel by car, you will have to spend hours
and hours travelling by petrol. But with motorcycles, you can move more easily
because they need less space, so they can go even in tight place
8. When was the last time you travelled by motorbike?
My friends and i went to da lat trip last summer by motorbike. And it took us 7 hour
from bien hoa to da lat.
Its time-consuming than travel by car or other transportations. But
9. Where do you want to travel in the future?
Paris is my dream destiniation .I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower, with my very
own eyes and not just in photographs or accessories. In addition, it’d be great for me
to visit the Louver Museum and discover history as well as La Sorbonne University –
the oldest educational institution in modern France.
10. Would you prefer to go to the beach or the moutains
I believe that most people prefer beach more than mountain when they plan for their
vacation. I personally love nature very much. Both mountain and beach are the places
that I would love to visit. But if I have to choose only one place for my vacation, I
would prefer to travel to mountain more than beach.
For me, mountain can make me feel more refreshed and relaxed surrounded by
beautiful nature; forest, green trees, waterfall, lake, birds, etc. Besides, the air is fresh
and it is really peaceful!
