TOPIC 1

Listening to music has always been my go to activity for all occasion. My love for
music can be tracked back to when I was a student of primary school. I miss when
I study grade 2. At that time information technology not developed so I listen to
music on stereo. When I listen to music I often sway to the music. Music make feel
happier and more comfortable. At first I interested in the US-UK but now I prefer
Chinese music. I think it so great. Music is a wonderful companion of mankind in
every generation and it can be said that it is a spiritual food that is indispensable to
everyone. I usually listen to music when I study or do my homework. Sometimes
in my free time because in my free I watch films or play game with my roommate.
My mother said listen to music and study is not good because I don’t concentrate
but I think it wrong. Because I think listen to music make me more motivation to
study. Average a day I spend 3-4 hours to listen to music. Music influences my
emotions, and sometimes I choose songs to listen to depending on my mood. I
think music is really a close friend of human, and the world would be a very boring
place without it.

TOPIC 3
There are a lot of interesting sports such as basketball, football, ... but my favourite
sport is badminton. There are some reasons why I like it. First, I can improve my
health by playing it. It makes me feel energetic everyday. Furthermore, I enjoy the
feeling of the badminton flying in the air. During the game, I can change the
direction of badminton with little effort and beat my opponents. Besides that, I can
make many friends when I play badminton. I often play it with various types of
people. We can improve our skills through discussion and practice. Also, we can
talk about many interesting things when we have a break. Finally, playing
badminton is not as intense as other sports such as basketball or soccer. It lessens
the possibility of being hurt. To sum up, playing badminton benefits a person not
only physically but mentally as well. I usually play at least once or twice a week.
After play I feel comfortable and very happy
TOPIC 4

Shopping is one of the habits of all people and the woman is special. Each
women’s passion is going shopping for new clothes, accessories and shoes.
Women love going shopping, especially when they feel annoyed about something.
In this case, going shopping is like a relaxation for them because spiritually they
feel fulfilled after buying something wonderful for themselves. I like shopping for
clothes and food. I usually go shopping in big shopping malls, because there is a
big choice of clothes and food. I love brand names and high quality, but I can’t
afford then. I always shop in departure stores because there are a lot of choices.
The design, the colors, the quality and the service are not as bad as some people
think. I always go shopping with my mom, because she has a good taste for
clothes. I really like shopping with her. Sometimes I go with my family. I and my
family members go shopping on Saturday morning or Sunday. I don't like online
shopping, because I cannot see if clothes fit me. Then I shopping I can buy some
fast food. I really like this because it’s very delicious. Finally, I want to talk about
a sickness related to go shopping: the compulsive buyer. These people have an
addiction and they buy a lot of things that they don’t need and spend a lot of
money with this.

TOPIC 5

My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school
vacation, and the endless fun. Usually it start at April and last till at the middle of
July. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do
outdoor activities. Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by
soaking up the sun at a beach or simply having dinner together. I love the hot and
humid days that makes you want to dive into a fresh and cold pool. When summer
time starts, you can wear lighter clothes, which are much more comfortable.
Summer times are stress free, relaxing, and basically fun. You don’t have to worry
about homework, projects, and studying for a test. One of my favorite summer
pastimes is staying up late watching movies and eating junk food, and then waking
up late and having brunch. Summer season is the best time for festivals and
activities. You can never get bored on a summer day or night. During the day, there
are fun activities such as: swimming, sports, picnics, and barbeques. Friends and
family spend a lot of time together during the summer time. There is a lot of good
food, drinks, and fun music. Everyone is laughing and having a good time. Summer
evenings are the best time for concerts, movies, parties, and relaxing with friends.
Summer is a good time for relax and stay with family. I am of the opinion that
different kinds of weather can affect people’s health. Even among those in the
prime of health, an excessively hot or cold day can lead to illnesses, let alone the
elderly, who can be more susceptible to extreme weather conditions. Weather can
also make a huge impact on people’s lives.
