+ Good morning/ afternoon, Sir/ Madam.

/
1. Introduce yourself:

My full name is Dang Khanh Hung but you can call me Hung for short. I’m in class 11B.

2. How are you?

I’m great but a little nervous. Last night, I burnt the midnight oil to prepare for this speaking test, so I’m
hoping to ace it.

3. Are you ready?

I was born ready./ Yes, I am.
4. Have you ever joined any volunteering activities before?
Volunteering is a meaningful way for a student like me to contribute to society. Therefore, I usually try to
spend my leisure time taking part in volunteering activities to assist those in need. Last year, I and my
parents had the chance to do some volunteer work in Thuận Châu, a small village in Son La. People's lives
are extremely difficult there. They lacked access to education and had no money to make ends meet. We
donated warm clothes, books, and other necessary things to the children there. We also provided free meals
for them. Besides, we also picked up litter at a nearby river. Although the journey was short, we felt very
happy since we had made a small contribution to society. I hope to have more chances to do volunteer work
like this with my friends in the future because I believe that “one small action multiplied by millions of
people can transform the world.”
5. Why should young people take part in more volunteering activities?

Well, as I have mentioned before, volunteering is a meaningful way for young people to help society,
particularly those in need. In my opinion, there are several reasons why young people should take part in
volunteering activities:
+ Firstly, doing volunteer work allows them to relax and recharge their batteries. The ongoing stress of daily
life puts young people under constant pressure, which may have a negative impact on their health. Hence,
volunteering activities can help them relax their minds and relieve their stress.
+ Secondly, by taking part in non-profit work, young individuals will gain more hands-on knowledge and
enhance both soft skills and hard skills because they must work as part of a team.
+ Last but not least, if we can do something to assist others, why not? I am into the proverb: “ Một miếng khi
đói bằng một gói khi no”. Hence, when being able to help others, I am quite proud and joyful.
GLOBAL WARMING

1. What is global warming?

Global warming is one of environmental problems that we are facing. As far as I’m concerned, it is a gradual
increase in temperatures caused by gases such as carbon dioxide. These gases trap too much of the sun’s heat
and prevent it from escaping into space.

2. What are the causes of global warming?

In my opinion, humans are the major cause of global warming. Human activities such as deforestation,
transportation, and the burning of fossil fuels make the planet hotter and hotter. For example, when we use
 cars, motorbikes, and other forms of transport, we burn fossil fuels and release greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere, which contribute to air pollution; or when we cut down trees for agricultural land, we are
destroying the natural habitat of many species of animals and plants, which also leads to global warming.
3. How does global warming affect our life?

In my opinion, there are many consequences of global warming:

Firstly, global warming causes ice in the poles to melt and sea levels to rise. Many creatures lose their
habitat and become extinct as a result.
Secondly, human health is being seriously affected by global warming because polluted air has given rise to
several health problems, including breathing problems and lung infections.
Thirdly, global warming causes significant climate changes, which might result in natural disasters that
disrupt human production activities.
What are some solutions to solve this problem?

To deal with global warming, I think that both individuals and governments must work together to find
solutions:

Firstly, we should encourage businesses to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Using
environmentally friendly sources such as solar, wind, etc. can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while
also allowing businesses to save money in the long run.

Secondly, we need to carry out some campaigns to raise people's awareness about protecting the
environment.

Thirdly, we should create a lot of green space in cities for both people and animals. Trees are home to a
wide variety of creatures and supply a significant amount of oxygen for living things, which will help us
reduce environmental pollution and prevent global warming.

Introduction:

- Something about your family/ hobbies

My favourite hobby is reading. I usually go to the library near my house to read books that I am interested
in. Most of the books I read are in English because I find them very informative and interesting. Reading
books brings me a lot of benefits. It helps me broaden my horizons and enrich my knowledge. Besides,
reading books is a good way for me to relax after a long day.
Topic 1: Keeping fit:
1. How often do you do any exercise?

Well, for me, doing daily exercise is one of the ways for us to keep fit, relax our minds, and relieve our
stress. Therefore, I often spend my leisure time going cycling with my dad twice or three times a week. It is
very enjoyable and good for my physical and mental health.

2. Do you prefer to exercise alone or in a class? Why?

Well, some people are keen on working out alone, while others prefer to work out as part of a group. I prefer
the latter for several reasons:
Firstly, exercising in a class allows us to meet new people and strengthen the ties among members. We can
share our knowledge and experience and work out together to improve our health.
Secondly, exercising in a group helps us stay motivated because we may easily give up if we work out alone.
The more people participate, the more motivated we will be to keep practicing.

What do you think is the best type of exercise?

As I have mentioned before, I often spend my free time going cycling with my dad, so I personally think that
cycling may be the best type of exercise for several reasons. Firstly, cycling helps us reduce stress and
anxiety after a long day and recharge our batteries for the following activities. Therefore, it is one of the
most effective ways to help us balance study and fun while also improving our mental health.

Secondly, cycling assists us in staying in shape and growing taller. Going cycling regularly and maintaining
a balanced diet will boost our immune systems, which will significantly prevent health problems.

Topic 2: What future cities should have so that city dwellers can live a long and healthy life.

In my opinion, there are several things that future cities should have so that city dwellers can live a long and
healthy life.

Firstly, there should be lots of green space in the future city for both people and animals since trees are home
to a wide variety of creatures and supply a significant amount of oxygen for living things.

Secondly, some environmentally-friendly modes of transportation should be available in future cities. We

currently have several modes of transportation, such as motorcycles and trucks, that pollute the air on a daily
basis. Therefore, sustainable transportation in the future will greatly assist us in reducing air pollution and
protecting our health.

Last but not least, cities of the future should include numerous robots that can help people do housework,
take care of pets, the sick, and the disabled and so on. This can help us save a lot of time for other activities
and enhance the quality of life.

Topic 3: Why we should use renewable energy:

From my perspective, there are many reasons why we should switch to using renewable energy.

Firstly, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy are clean, environmentally friendly, and do
not pollute the environment. Hence, they will be an effective solution to the challenges of climate change
and environmental pollution.

Secondly, renewable energy often comes from natural resources that will never run out. Therefore, it can
replace fossil fuels such as coal, oil… which are becoming exhausted. This will allow businesses to save
money in the long run.
Thirdly, renewable energy is incredibly convenient and simple to use in all parts of the world. For example,
solar energy may be utilized anywhere there is sunshine, or with wind energy, we can use it anywhere there
is wind, right? So convenient!
