PART 2

Describe a water sport you would like to try in the future.

You should say:
What it is
Where you would like to try it
How difficult it is
And explain why you would like to try it

Well, let me tell you about a water sport I would like to try in the future.
tThere is a range of water sports that I’d love to try since I always enjoy trying
new things, but if I have to pick a favorite, I would like to try scuba diving
which allows people to to get deeper into the water and experience marine
life. This is an very engrossing water sport and I can play on many different
water surfaces from rivers, lakes to the sea. (scuba diving mà sao lại trên mặt
nước được nè) As far as I know, scuba diving is a sport of
swimming underwater using special breathing equipment consisting of a
container of air which people carry on their back and a tube through which
allows people to breathe the air. I am new to this sport recently(would try in
the future mà sao lại new recently) In order to go scuba diving properly and
safely, and I am looking fortrying to find a place for professional training by
an experienced coach. I'm not sure if it's hard to learn because I haven't tried
it, but my friend did and said it was a lot harder than she imagined. Well I
 think I have to prepare myself and do my utmost to master this type of sport
before studying. As I mentioned earlier, I like to experience new things and
challenge myself and I believe that I can learn a lot from this. Therefore, I am
looking forward to having a good time taking up a new sport.

PART 3
Sport

1. Do young people like to do sports? 

Yes, obviously. From my perspective, sports today are gaining more and more
popularity because youngsters become more conscious about their health. They
take up different kinds of sports such as football, volleyball, badminton and so
on. Another factor of this phenomenon is that the youth tend to jump on the
bandwagon. For example, the bicycle sharing system has just been introduced
recently and it has attracted a lot of young people’s attention. It’s not hard to
come across the youth riding on the roads these days.

Young people = young individuals = young adults = the youth = youngsters

BE more conscious about…
Take up = begin to do something
Another factor of this phenomenon
Tend to = have a tendency to
Jump on the bandwagon
Bicycle - sharing system
Introduce (v): ra mắt
Come across: bắt gặp

2. What are the benefits of sports for children? 

Children should be able to play sports from an early age because sports bring a
lot of merits to them, both physically and mentally. First and foremost, taking
part in a sport can help the health get better. (lặp ý với câu trước đó)
pPhysical activity is very good for the development of children’s bones and
muscles of children, helps to increase solidity and reduce the risk of bone
diseases. Besides, playing sports also helps/assists/aids to relax mood and
reduce stress after class hours which can be considered to be a type of
entertainment. In addition to this, it also helps/assists/aids children's social
skills improve/enhance, allowinghelping them to become more confident when
communicating with other people. Therefore, parents should encourage their
children to participate in sports from an early age.

3. Is it necessary to build public sports spaces? 

Sports are part and parcel of improving an individual’s health, so .creating
public sports areas is definitely vital because of these following reasons. First
of allHowever, at present, Vietnam belongs to the group of developing
countries, so most not everyone ispeople will not be able to afford the money to
buy home exercise equipment to have it at home. Another reason why
government should building public sports area is that some persons would find
practicing sports alone tedious, not to mention some sports that would definitely
require another player. Therefore, I would conclude that the construction of
public sports spaces both enhances residents’their health and helps humans get
closer to each other.

4. What do you think of companies donating sports venues for poor

children?
From my perspective, I guess this is definitely advantageous for both the
society and the companies. On the one hand, it would help the underprivileged
children can gain better access to physical activities to improve their health. In
other words, sSports equipment isn’t cheap at all, so it’s hard for the below-
average class and working classes to afford it. On the other hand, the provision
of communal facilities can create a positive image forof the companyies which
. This helps promotes the company’s imagereputation widely and will be
known by more and more persons. Thus, it is advisable for companies to
donate sports venues since it is mutually beneficial for them and the children.
