In from 100 to 120 words, write a paragraph about one of the following topics.

1. Which place would you prefer to live in, the countryside or the city?
While many people like a quiet life in the countryside, I prefer living in the city because it’s modern and
convenient. Firstly, it is easy for people to look for jobs. The majority of big companies is in the modern city
where have economic potential. Therefore, many people who live in countryside decide to emigrate to the city to
have well-paid job opportunities. Secondly, the city have better access to healthcare. Most cities have hospital and
doctor offices, and they are quite close to one another. We can find out hospital easily in emergency situation. In
addition, the education system in the city is greater than the countryside. The reason why that many parents move
to city is for better educcation for their children. Most of school in the city usually have modern devices, high
qualitified teacher and advanced teaching method. These some reason why I enjoy living in the city instead of the
countryside.
2. Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home.
Which do you prefer?
Although eating ready-to-eat food or going to reastaurant, I prefer to cooking food at home because of some its
benefit. First of all, the food which was cooked myself is better for my health. Some food stands do not guarantee
food safety or contains a lot of fat that adverselly affacts my health. The second reason is to save my money. Food
in restaurant is usually high cost, and we had to pay a tax for each meals. When we prepare and cook food at
home, total cost is cheaper than it in reastaurant. Besides, the food which I cook myself is suitable with my favor.
When I cooking, I can control the spice make my dish more delicious. In conclusion, cooking and eat food at
home is the best choices for me.

3. What do you think of wearing uniform in school?

Although some school allow their children to wear casual clothes, I personally think that student should wear
uniform while going to school.
Firstly, school uniform give a distinct styles which distinguish students from students in different school. It help us
identify which school of that student easily. Secondly, wearing uniform will help us saving a lot of preparing time.
We do not have to select different clothes to wear to school everyday. Furthermore, we can save a lot of  money.
Generally, uniform is a lot cheaper as compared to branded clothes. Finally, uniform make the sense of equality.
All students wear the same uniforms, they do not compare each others about being poor or rich. In conclusion,
uniform is the best choice while going to school, so it should be popular in many school.

4. Write about your favorite sports.

Everyone have different hobbies that make they feel relaxed or fun. For me, volleyball is my favourite sport. I
started playing volleyball 2 months ago. It is my compulsory subject of my PE classes. The way to play volleyball
is very simple, but it also requires a lot of skills from the player. Volleyball can be played in pair or 2 groups. If
we play in team, each team includes 6 players. You need a ball and a high net. You hit the ball through the
opponent’s field with your hand or arm. The winner is the first team to get fifteen points. I study PE classes once a
week, but I usually practise to play with my friend i the everning per day. Volleyball brings to me the teamwork
skill which is important for my future life. Besides, it help me improve my physical and mentality. I become
faster, stronger and healthy so I feel more energy and good mood when playing. In conclusion, volleyball is a
interesting sport which brings many benefits for players.

5. Are you for or against banning smoking in public places?

Smoking is quite common with young generatuon today. However, I personally believe that smoking should be
banned in each country because it brings many bad impacts for the smoker and others inhales the smoker. Firstly,
Smoking is not only effect ony the smokers, but also the people around the smoker especially children and
pregrant women. Cigarette smoke is very toxic, and it will affect human respiratory tract when inhale for a long
time. Futhermore, public places such as park, hospital, hotel, ect......is usually have many young people who are
easy to imitate and smoke. Secondly, smoking leads to many desease heallth problems for the smokers. The main
of lung cancer is smoking tobaco. Besides, when they smoke in a long time, it will become their habit and they
will feel uncomfortable if they do not smoke. In conclusion, I think that government should have measure or law
to prohibit smoking in public places.

6. Write about a place that you like to visit.

 Da Lat is an ideal place that I enjoy visiting. It located in the south of Vietnam and is a capital of Lam Đong
province. It is well known for variety of flowers and enternal spring. Most of people go there by motorbike to go
seeingsight, enjoy a little peace and quiet and get closer to nature. There are some tourist attractive places in Da
Lat like Cam Ly fall, strawberry garden, Da Lat market, and so on. I really like watching the sun set sitting with
my family on river bank of Xuan Huong lake. Đa Lat is not only attractive with picturesque landscape but also
street food such as grilled rice paper, avocado ice-cream. I usually go there in summer vacation with my family
and friends. Đa Lat is impressive for me because people is very friendly and hospitable. Besides, the price is rather
cheaper than many places I have ever visited. These are some reasons why Da Lat is my ideal place to visit.
