which is located in the heart of Ha Giang, a province in the far north of Vietnam. This park is my

I’d like to talk about Ha Giang, a province in the far north of Vietnam. This place is my favorite
spot when I need some peace and quiet. Ha Giang, with its stunning scenery and rich local
cultures, is a great place to unwind.

(ALL): Ha Giang is a top spot for tourists, with lots to see and do. The big mountains, twisty
roads, and different local groups make Ha Giang really special. In here, I can deeply immerse
myself into the spectacular (hùng vĩ) nature and tranquil atmosphere.
One place everyone must see in Ha Giang is the Dong Van Geopark. This park, recognized by
UNESCO, is like a dreamland with its strange rock formations, vibrant cultural heritage, and
peaceful setting. The park has different areas, each showing a different local group, which
makes it a fascinating cultural exploration. From the thrilling(kịch tính) motorbike rides to the
quiet local villages, Dong Van Karst Plateau the Geopark caters to various interests. It’s a great
place to create unforgettable experiences with its mix of nature, culture, and nice views. Dong
Van Karst Plateau Geopark really adds to the charm of Ha Giang.
Trừ đề 5, còn các đề còn lại nói phần này): Trying the local food, like Thang Co and Men Men, is
also a fun experience for me. The busy local markets, full of color and activity, are a sight to see.
Ha Giang has something for everyone - whether it’s exploring the mountains, learning about
the local culture, or enjoying the peace and quiet. It’s the perfect mix for a holiday!
Both Ha Giang and the beautiful Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark have left a big impression on
me. So, I would definitely recommend them as places to visit for both people from other
countries and locals.
Let me tell you about a place I really enjoy - Asia Park in Danang. This park is my go-to spot
when I need a break from everything. Asia Park is in the heart of Danang, and it's a fantastic
place to relax. (Đề 1+2+5) / When it comes to an attractive city, Danang immediately appears in
my mind thanks to the wonderful experience that I have always had during my many visits to
this blessed city in the middle region of my country Vietnam. (Đề 3,4)

(ALL): Danang is an amazing place for tourists, with so much to see and do. The beaches, like
My Khe, are super pretty, and you can feel the soft sand beneath your toes. I enjoyed exploring
the Marble Mountains, climbing up to see caves and old pagodas. The Dragon Bridge is like
magic at night - all lit up and sometimes even breathing out fire!

Asia Park in Danang is a must-visit gem. This amusement park is like a dreamland with thrilling
rides, vibrant gardens, and a relaxed atmosphere. The Sun Wheel, a giant Ferris wheel, offers
breathtaking views of the city. The park's unique zones, representing different Asian countries,
make it an exciting cultural experience. From the exciting roller coasters to the calming gardens,
Asia Park caters to various tastes. It's a fantastic place to enjoy with family or friends, creating
lasting memories with its blend of entertainment, culture, and beautiful surroundings. Asia Park
truly adds an extra layer of fun and charm to Danang's tourism scene.

(Trừ đề 5, còn các đề còn lại nói phần này): What's also cool is trying the local food, especially
banh mi and cao lau they taste so good. Hoi An, nearby, is full of history, and the buildings there
are so pretty. Danang has something for everyone - whether it's relaxing on the beaches,
exploring the mountains, or enjoying the city lights. It's like a perfect holiday mix!

(ALL): Both Danang and its beautiful Asia Park left the deepest impression in my mind.
Therefore, I would recommend both of them as must-go-to destinations for both my foreign and
domestic friends.

1 Describe a time when you used a paper map

2 Describe an activity you enjoyed most in your primary school

3 Describe a skill that you learned in your childhood

4 Describe a difficult task that you completed at work/study that you felt proud of

5 Describe a piece of good advice that you gave to someone

6 Describe an exciting activity that you experienced with someone else

7 Describe an activity that made you feel tired

When I was in primary school, there was an activity that I particularly enjoyed. It was a treasure
hunt, a game that required us to use paper maps to find hidden objects around the school. This
was my first encounter with a paper map, and I found it intriguing. I learned how to read the
symbols, follow the directions, and estimate distances. This was a skill I acquired in my
childhood, and it has proven to be useful in many situations since then.
The treasure hunt was not just a game, but also a learning experience. One of the tasks that
stood out was planning a route using the map. This was a challenging task that required a lot of
concentration and problem-solving skills. After spending hours studying the map and planning
the route, I finally managed to complete it. This was a moment of accomplishment for me, and I
felt a sense of pride in my achievement.
During this task, I noticed a friend who was struggling with the same challenge. Seeing him in
difficulty, I decided to share some advice. I suggested that he break down the route into smaller
segments and tackle each one separately. This strategy seemed to help him, and he was able to
complete the task. It was a rewarding experience to be able to help a friend, and it made me
feel good.
One of the most exciting parts of this activity was a school trip where we had to apply our map-
reading skills in a real-world setting. We were taken to a nearby forest and were tasked with
navigating our way through it using only our paper maps. I was paired with my best friend for
this activity, and together, we managed to find all the checkpoints. It was an exhilarating
experience that brought us closer as friends and teammates.
However, this activity was not without its challenges. We had to walk for miles, climb steep
hills, and cross streams. By the end of the day, I was physically exhausted. But despite the
tiredness, I felt a sense of satisfaction. It was a tiring activity, but the sense of achievement and
the fun we had made it all worth it.
Looking back, these experiences taught me valuable lessons about teamwork, problem-solving,
and perseverance. They are lessons that I still remember and apply in my life today. Despite the
challenges and the exhaustion, it was a memorable experience that I cherish from my
childhood.
