24. Your teacher is going to retire next summer. You are considering several
gifts for her e including a handbag, a pair of shoes, a pair of glasses. Which one
would you choose?
In my opinion, a handmade handbag is my best choice because of the
following reasons. Firstly, It does not cost much money to buy. Secondly, she
really loves handbag especially the handmade handbag
I don’t choose a pair of shoes because she has a lot of shoes already
I don’t choose a pair of glasses because I think she is going to retire, she do
not use the glasses often.

following options: seeing a movie, going shopping, singing karaoke. Which is

on shopping. You know, it is
great to spend money on buying

a good way to reduce stress after
hard working hours.
‒ When I go to the supermarket
 with my friends and collect some
items that I like, I feel really
relaxed and excited.
(-) seeing a movie ‒ Seeing is movie is entertaining
but we don’t like watching films,
it is difficult to choose a film
that all of us like.
(-) singing karaoke ‒ Singing karaoke is not my
choice because I am not good at
singing. I don’t like too noisy
atmosphere in karaoke bars.

28. Your school is investing money in improving the quality of education. 3

areas are suggested: in the teachers, in the students, or in the facilities. Which
do you think is the best choice?
First of all, If I choose teachers, It helps us improve teaching quality. The
teacher needs to learn various skills such as communication skills, teaching skills,
managing stress, and so on. Secondly, To improve teaching quality, teachers need
to have a good personality such as friendly, easy-going, active, gentle, happy, and
so on. They shouldn’t angry when students don’t understand the lesson. They
should find ways to help them. Finally, To improve teaching quality, teachers need
to have a good appearance. Students will more like the teacher and they can listen
to the teacher. It helps them study hard and have better results.
About students, Although It’s a good way to improve teaching quality. I
don’t choose it because Almost students depend on the teacher. If the teacher can
good teach, students will not good learn. It isn’t suitable for me to choose it.
About facilities, although It’s a not bad solution and some people can do it. I
don’t choose it because It isn’t suitable for me. It’s inconvenient and
uncomfortable. It isn’t good as other ways such as teachers.

You have to prepare a birthday present for your brother who likes travelling.
There
are 3 options for you to choose: a selfie stick/ camera/ 3-day holiday. What is
your
best choice?
(+) 3-day holiday
‒ helps me relax and reduce stress after school. It’s a great way to temporarily
forget all pressure of my daily life.
‒ Secondly, If I choose a 3-day trip, I can travel to famous places such as Ha
Long Bay, Phu Quoc Island, and Nha Trang Beach. I come to go there with
my friend and my family. I can enjoy beautiful views and take a lot of
photos.
‒ Finally, If I choose a 3-day trip, I will meet many people and make new
friends. I can enjoy delicious food. It’s very interesting and happy.
(-) a selfie stick
‒ Although It’s useful, It helps me have more beautiful selfies. I don't choose
it because these days, a selfie stick isn't popular.
‒ It isn’t precious and meaningful
(-) a camera
‒ Although It helps me take a lot of beautiful photos, I don't choose it because
nowadays, the cell phone is more and more popular and people take many
beautiful photos easily with their cell phone, so it replaced a camera.
‒ Besides, A camera has too many buttons and functions, so It’s very difficult
to use. The camera is very expensive. It's about 20 million.

32. You and your friends join a charity event to give present to mountainous
children: old clothes/ money/notebooks and pencils
Your volunteer group is organizing a trip to help children in a remote class.
There are 3 options: books, clothes and movies (notebooks and pencils/ amount
of money/old clothes). What is your best choice?
‒ Books: it is the best way to improve the knowledge and help to
enrich/broaden their mind and relax
‒ Clothes: not suitable for their favourite/ color/ size/ culture / habits and
customs
‒ Movies: not all families in remote areas have modern equipment to open
movies
From my point of view/In my opinion, the best choice is BOOK because of some
following reasons. The first reason is that Book helps children broaden their
knowledge. The second reason could be explained that Book helps to develop their
creative thinking. Last but not least, Book opens their outlook and gives them more
opportunities to get good jobs in the future
In contrast, there are several reasons I don’t choose other options clothes and
movies. Firstly, living in the remote area lacks a lot of modern equipment to watch
movies. Secondly, children’s fashionable clothes in the city are quite different from
children’s clothes in the remote area, so it is quite hard to choose suitable clothes
for these children
In short, I think books will be my best choice because of its conveniences and
usefulness.
34. Your friend is going to join military service. You choose a present for him: a
game console, a book and a diary.
You are going to buy a gift for a friend who is going to do a military service.
(nghĩa vụ quân sự) There are 3 gifts: a book, a CD, a diary. What is the best
choice?
‒ Books: The best way to improve the knowledge/ enrich the mind / relax
‒ A CD (game console): not suitable because if he wants to open CD, he
needs CD player which may be not.
‒ A diary: it’s too simple; he doesn’t like writing; he has no time to write a
diary because he has to practice very hard.
In my opinion buying a book is the best choice for the following reasons. Firstly,
he can relax in his free time, reading his favorite book that I give him. Secondly, it
is a good way to improve the knowledge. Moreover, Book helps to develop his
creative thinking. Book opens his outlook and gives him more opportunities to get
a good job in the future.

₊ it is the way to show how much he means to me and also a good way for my
friend to keep as memory.
₊ A hand-made card is another way to make my own fun and can save my
budgets in the long run
‒ Buying a bouquet of flower is also a good choice, however it quite costs a
lot of money, because nowadays fresh flowers are quite expensive.
‒ Buying a notebook seems not to be suitable as a present because he is quite
busy, therefore I guess he has no time to use it everyday.
A gift: flowers, a handmade card, a cinema ticket
First of all, If I choose A handmade card, It helps me show my love to my
close friend. It’s precious and meaningful because I make it myself. Secondly, If I
choose to send a card, I can choose the color and shape of the card. Besides, I can
decorate a lot of things such as flowers, stars, stickers, and so on. It’s very
beautiful. Finally, If I choose to send a card, I can write some messages, and send
wishes to my friend. She can keep it as a memory
About flowers, Although it’s very beautiful. My friend can use it to
decorate her house. I don’t choose it because flowers are very expensive. It’s about
400 thousand. Besides, It can’t use for a long time. It isn’t suitable for me to
choose it.
About a cinema ticket, Although It’s very interesting, It helps me relax and
reduce stress. I don’t choose it because a cinema ticket is cheap. It’s about 100
thousand. I can buy it easily. It isn’t meaningful and special. Besides, My friend
doesn’t like noise and crowded. It isn’t suitable for them.

43. Raise money for charity from 3 sources: schools/individuals/companies.
‒ Raising money from schools
₊ helps to teach students how to work in team to take care the
community, especially the poor people
₊ Raising money from schools through selling their personal things is
also a great way to set up and boost up the students’ their own mini/
startup business
‒ Raising money from companies perhaps can gain much money than at
schools, however students have to take a lot of their time to find suitable
companies, this will be a challenge and affect their school time.
‒ Raising money from individuals might not make much money because the
living cost now is quite high, therefore some people even do not always have
enough money for their life

44. Your friend is going to find a part-time job. There are 3 options: a shop
assistant, a tutor and a waiter. Which is the best choice?
‒ Shop assistant: she has to work hard in the morning or afternoon,
sometimes it can affect her study time at school,
‒ A tutor: this job is suitable to her major and helps her earn much money.
‒ A waitress: Work in the evening and come back home late and it’s not good
for health and dangerous to come back at night.
First of all, If I choose a tutor, It help me make a lot of money to buy many
things that I want, pay for my life, pay school fees, buy many things that I like, and
so on. It’s very useful. Secondly, If I choose a tutor, It’s a great way to learn
knowledge again. Besides, I can learn various skills such as communication,
teaching, reducing stress, saving time, and other skills. It’s very good for me.
Finally, If I choose a tutor, the salary is reasonable. I can teach in many places such
as my house, a student’s house, a classroom, and so on. It’s very convenient.
About a waiter, Although it helps me make a lot of money, I don’t choose it
because the salary isn’t too high. A waiter doesn’t help improve my study. The
staff needs sociable and patient. The staff can be scolded and fined by their owner
If they make a mistake. For example, If I break a glass or make a customer angry, I
will be fined money, It can be the salary of that day. It isn’t suitable for me.
 About a shop assistant, Although It’s very good. I don’t choose it because The
shop assistant needs to have a good appearance and work experience. Besides, It’s
very difficult to convince customers. It needs good communication.

There are THREE options for you to choose:

A job at a take-away shop (cửa hàng bán đồ ăn mang về)
There are a lot of part time jobs for example student can work in a souvenir
shop or a travel agency or a take-away shop… However, if he wants to practice his
English, I think a job at travel agency is the best suitable for him. You know,
working at travel agency, you can be a temporary guide in English. For example,
guiding a group of Australian tourists visiting Hanoi, you can practice English to
describe and present about Hanoi’s sightseeing…
I don’t choose a job at a souvenir shop …..
A job at a take-away shop isn’t my best choice ….
Because it does not help me improve my English.

shelves. I find the goods easily. Secondly, If I choose the supermarket, It helps me
save a lot of money because the price of the supermarket is reasonable. The price
of the goods is shown on the shelves. I don’t need to ask the price If I want to buy
it. It’s very convenient. Finally, If I choose the supermarket, It’s very clear and
cool because the supermarket has some air conditioning and is cleaned every day.
It’s very comfortable.
About an open-air market, Although it’s cheap. I don’t choose it because
It’s very dirty and crowded. There are too many people in an open-air market.
There may be pickpockets or thieves. It’s very dangerous. Besides, I can ask the
price and bargain. I don’t like it.

communication, English vocabulary, English grammar, English listening, and other
skills. Secondly, If I choose a book, It isn’t too expensive. I can’t need to take a lot
of money to buy it. My friends can keep it as a memory and use a long time. It’s
very useful. Finally, If I choose a book, It’s a great way to relax and reduce stress
when my friend read it. It’s very good for my friend
About a backpack, Although it’s very beautiful and my friend can keep it as a
memory. I don’t choose it because a backpack has many shapes, colors, and prices.

it. She can’t wear it. It’s very costly.
About a beauty product, Although It’s very good for the skin of my friend. I

cost a lot of money to advertise
the English center.
‒ Last but not least, online
advertising can advertise for a
long time and can change the
content of your advertisement
based on the need of learners at
any time
(-) TV and radio ‒ Both TV and radio
advertisements are not as
popular as internet, so we cannot
reach a large of many viewers.
Secondly, TV and radio
advertising are more expensive
than internet, so we can advertise
the English center in a short
period of time.

information. Finally, The library is very cool and comfortable because It has some
air conditioning. It’s suitable for me if the weather is too hot.
About at home, Although It’s very convenient because I don’t need to go

on studying. I can be affected by the noise of other people around me.
About the coffee house, although it’s very comfortable. I don’t choose it
because I take some money to order coffee. Besides, Some people don’t go to the

lonely old people, and other activities. It’s very good for society
About 500 thousand, Although It’s a great way to reduce smoking in public
places. I don’t choose it because It isn’t a serious enough punishment. Some people
can smoke in the public again. Besides, with rich people, 500 thousand is small
money. They don’t care If they are punished 500 thousand.
About put in the prison, Although Although It’s a great way to reduce
smoking in public places. I don’t choose it because It is a too serious punishment.
If this is the first time, people smoke in the public, We should allow them to

useful.Finally, If I choose to go to work, I can meet more people and make good
friends. I can get the opportunity to advance earlier at work. It’s very good for my
future
About studying higher education, although It’s a great way to widen
knowledge. I don’t choose it because It will take a lot of money to pay fees when I
study higher. It’s about 100 hundred million. It’s very costly. To learn higher can
take a lot of time, it’s about two years. It isn’t suitable for me to choose it.
About Traveling, although It helps me relax stress and clear my head. I don’t
choose it because it will take a lot of money and I can forget the knowledge that I

because it requires a long- term use so it can cause negative effects
such as heart attack, addiction of weight- loss pills.

Vietnam. Secondly, the documentaries have many on the internet. We will find it
easily. We can watch it anywhere such as the school, our house, the coffee store,
the library, and other places. It’s very convenient. Finally, On the internet, almost
documentaries are free. We don’t take a lot of money to buy it. I can save money to
do many things. It’s very useful.
About the museum, although It’s a great way to find out the history of
Vietnam. We can see objects from the war and have an interesting sightseeing tour.
I don’t choose it because If we go to the museum. We can take a lot of time to
move and pay fees to visit the museum. Besides, the museum doesn’t have too
many things. It can’t show all about the history of Vietnam
About reading books, although It’s a not bad solution to watching
documentaries and some people can do it. I don’t choose it because It isn’t suitable
for me. It’s inconvenient and uncomfortable. It isn’t good as other ways such as
watching documentaries.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above, that’s why watching
documentaries is always my best choice.
80. You are thinking about the way to congratulate on (chúc mừng) your close
friend’s birthday. There are three ways: posting on facebook/ phone call/ send a
card. What is your best choice?
Sending a card is always my best choice because the following reasons. First
of all, If I choose to send a card, It helps me show my love and my congratulations
to my close friend. It’s precious and meaningful because I make it myself.
Secondly, If I choose to send a card, I can decorate a lot of things such as flowers,
stars, stickers, and so on. It’s very beautiful. Finally, If I choose to send a card, I
can write some messages, and send wishes to my close friend. She can keep it as a
memory
About I post on Facebook, Although It helps me send congratulations to my
close friend. I don’t choose it because my close friend doesn’t like social media.
Besides, nowadays, posting congratulations on Facebook is very popular and
almost people will do it, so it isn’t special and meaningful.
About making a phone call, Although It’s a great way to talk congratulations
to my close friend. I don’t choose it because I and my close friend meet every day,
we go out and go to school together every day. I can talk congratulations and I
don’t need to make a phone call. It isn’t suitable for me to choose it.
In short, for the reasons that I mention above that’s why sending a card is
always my best choice.
81. You have 3 days off and there are some activities: at home/ go hiking/
travel abroad. What is the best choice?
‒ Hiking: relax and see views/ enjoy the fresh air in the mountain; sceneries
‒ At home: boring
‒ Travel abroad: expensive / not enough time to travel abroad for 3 days.
Your family is making a plan for this weekend. There are THREE options for
you to choose: Going to the cinema, Having meal in a restaurant, Going to the
beach. Which plan do you think is the best choice for your family?
 ‒ having a meal in a restaurant
₊ Firstly, This weekend I do not have free time, so I plan to have dinner
out with my family. My children love hotpot, so I intend to have a
chicken hotpot in a restaurant near the city centre. It is a famous
restaurant and we have to make a call to book a table before coming.
Last week, we went to the cinema to watch ‘Kungfu Panda 3’ so I am
not going the movie this weekend. I can watch films on the Internet or
TV at home with my family.
₊ it is family’s favorite restaurant; the food there is good, the view is
beautiful; staff are friendly; it is not expensive to eat there
‒ go to the cinema: we like different kinds of films, it is difficult to choose 1
film to see.
‒ The beach: because We are planning to go to the beach this summer when
my children have a long holiday after a school year.
82. You are preparing activities for Women’s Day. There are some activities
suggested: class picnic/ Miss contest/ party (karaoke). What’s your best
choice?
‒ Class picnic: have fun together/ have time to meet friends and do many
activities together: eating; drinking; playing outdoor games; we will feel
closer, cozy atmosphere; singing together; taking beautiful pictures.
‒ Miss contest: there are many things/ plans to prepare/ it takes a lot of
preparation; a lot of time
‒ Party (Karaoke): it’s expensive and noisy/ not all students can sing well/
like singing
83. You want to raise money for charity (quyên góp tiền từ thiện). There are 3
options suggested: concert/ 2nd hand market / marathon
I think a second hand market is my best choice because of the following
reasons. Firstly, It’s easy to collect a lot of second hand stuff/ things (clothes,
books, newspapers, magazines, shoes, sandals) and we can get a lot of money;
everyone has second-hand things and they are willing to give to others/ charity.
On the other hand, about 2 other options, I don’t choose Concert because I
don’t have experience to organize/ not many people understand about the concert;
it is difficult for me to invite music band or famous singers.
 I don’t choose a Marathon because It takes a lot of time to prepare; I don’t
have experience in organizing this kind of event.
84. You need to take photos at the end of school year (chụp ảnh kỷ yếu). There
are some places suggested: park/ flower garden/ zoo. What is the best choice?
I think flower garden is my best choice because of the following reasons.
Firstly, there are many beautiful flowers with different colors to take photos;
suitable for photography; suitable for posing; It inspires people to pose more. They
can take photos with their favorite flowers. Secondly, Students especialy girls like
to see beautiful flowers in the flower garden. Students will have amazing photos to
post on their Facebook as sweet memories. Finally, The entrance fee is cheap.
I don’t choose the park because: it’s more suitable to do exercises/ It’s far
from school/ not beautiful
the zoo is not my best choice because: there are many animals; it’s suitable
for visitors especially children/ not suitable for taking photos at the end of school
year.
85. Your sister is short- sighted, choose a place for her to sit in the class: sit in
front; in the middle; at the back?
I think the best place for my sister to sit in the class is in front because
sitting in front helps my sister see every word on the board clearly. It also helps my
sister to communicate with her teacher more and she will understand the lesson
better.
About 2 other choices, it is ok for her to sit in the middle but it is not the best
place. I will never let her sit at the back because she is short-sighted, it is very
difficult for her to see the words in the board clearly. It is very bad for her eyes,
too.
86. Your parents’ wedding anniversary is coming. You and your sister are
thinking of giving them a great present. There are THREE options for you to
choose: A wedding cake, A 3-day tour to the beach, An album of the whole
family. Which do you think is the best present for their wedding anniversary?
I will give my parents a three-day tour on the beach. My reason is very
simple. My parents have always loved the beach, and they love going there for a
holiday but they haven’t made it because they are so busy with their kids. I am sure
that my gift/present will make them extremely happy and they will have the
moments of their life. Another reason is that a wedding cake can’t be kept for
memory. And the album of family is not necessary because we have already had 2
of it.
87. Your younger brother loves a girl at school: let him continue but under
your control, stop him, inform with parents
First of all, If I choose to let him continue but under my control, It’s very
good for him. Because It’s freedom of him. Love someone isn’t bad. Although it
can cause negative effects, It can have great benefits. He will very angry and sad If
I stop him. Secondly, If I choose to let him continue but under my control, he can
trust me. I can advise him when he has trouble. I can know what he is going to do
and control it if it affects him. Finally, If I choose to let him continue but under my
control. It is motivation to he hard study and has better results. It’s very useful.
About stop him, Although It’s a good way to avoid negative effects. I don’t
choose it because If I stop him, he is very sad. He can don’t eat, don’t drink, don’t
want to go to school, and so on. It can affect his health and his study. It’s very
serious.
About informing my parents, Although my parents can advise him. I don’t
choose it because they can very angry and punish him. They can don’t understand
him and have negative activities. Because the old people often think the love will
affect the future of the young people. It’s very bad If it happens.
88. Your university offers free courses for graduate students. Which would you
choose? There are THREE options for you to choose:
A time-management course. Khóa học quản lý thời gian
A public speaking course. Khóa học nói trước công chúng
A teamwork course. Khóa học về làm việc nhóm
Firstly, time is the most important and valuable property that people often
waste for useless activities. Secondly, How to manage and use the time effectively
and efficiently during 24 hours is very necessary and if I can manage the time
suitably, I can do any things successfully and perfectly. Next, I am not a good time
manager. I don’t know how to manage the time effectively.
A public speaking course and team work course are not my choice because
when I study at university, presenting a project in front of my classmates and
working in groups or teams are considered usual and regular tasks I have to
perform, so they are very interesting and good but it is not as necessary as a time-
management.
89. Your friend is going on a long journey by train on his own. Which do you
think is the best way to pass time on a long journey? There are THREE options
for you to choose: Talking to other people, Reading books, Sleeping.
‒ Talking: More positive experience about journey, makes new friends, more
social, break out of your comfort zone, enjoy the journey more
‒ Sleeping: tired; train sickness
‒ Reading book: tired
90. An optional subject will be added to the curriculum for secondary students in
your city. Which do you think is the best option for secondary students? THREE
options are suggested: cooking, swimming, sewing (may vá)
‒ I will choose cooking because:
₊ It helps them to cook for themselves
₊ Children will know how hard their parents are to cook
₊ cooking make them appreciate the food more
‒ I don’t choose swimming and sewing because:
₊ It might be dangerous for children to do these
₊ swimming: need the facilities such as the swimming pool, many school
don’t have swimming pool for the students to learn how to swim
91. You are planning to take your students to participate in outdoor activities.
Which do you think is the most suitable one for your students? THREE options
of activities are suggested: visiting the zoo, camping, drawing
I know my students really like animals. Going to the zoo helps them to
widen their knowledge and satisfy their interest. And I think Thu Le Zoo is quite
suitable a place for us to go to. It is quite large with a lot of games for children to
play. But most importantly, there are a lot of cages of animals which students
cannot see at any other places. And my plan for that day is that we will start off in
the morning, go around the zoo and sightsee and play games for about three hours,
then at noon we leave the zoo for a restaurant for lunch. While having lunch, I will
ask students to talk about their feelings after the trip. This is really necessary,
giving them an opportunity to express themselves, talking about what they have
learned from the trip, and especially enhancing their love for nature and animals. I
hope the trip will raise their awareness of protecting nature and animals and at the
same time, provide them with interesting and enjoyable moments.
 Camping: they have to go to the places far from the city, it takes 2 days, it
takes a lot of time and preparation, it may be dangerous
Drawing: they study drawing at schools and some students do not like
drawing
92. You are planning to take your secondary students to participate in outdoor
activities. Which do you think are the most preferable to them? THREE options
of dressing for girls are suggested: uniforms, selected tops and shorts, skirts
The first reason is that uniforms highly appreciate the community. All the
rich and the poor are the same. There is no difference and unequality between male
and female. Moreover, when students put on uniforms they feel so proud of their
school and have a sense of responsibility to keep their school’s reputation. Finally,
uniforms make all students look more formal.
I think that selected tops and shorts and skirts are popular costumes that
make students more active and dynamic but they are not suitable for students when
they take part in outdoor activities with their classmates as a school trip.
93. You are planning a holiday and you will be staying in a hotel. You will
decide which feature you consider to be the most important when choosing a
hotel to stay in. There are THREE options for you to choose: The location of the
hotel, The comfort of the hotel room, Reasonable price.
I consider the convenience of the hotel the most important when choosing a
hotel to stay. Travelling, either by land or air, can be exhausting. So I would be
looking forward to a comfortable and convenient stay when I arrive in my
destination. Therefore, my hotel should have the amenities that would help me
relax and unwind. Things like a cozy room, a soft bed, or a pool spa are a big plus.
I can check these, as well as the type of service they give, by reading reviews or
guest testimonials on the Internet. Also, safety and security should not be
overlooked when selecting accommodation.
In my opinion, the location of the hotel is not very important because I will
go by my private car so I can travel everywhere I want without any worrying about
the distance. Costs are another important consideration here but I have
affordability so I do not care about the price. I only want to make sure to check
whether the hotel prices are all-inclusive or not.
94. You are preparing a presentation on a new product. There are three options
for you to choose to present the product: a powerpoint slide, a poster and a
video. What is the best choice?
Firstly, Videos are a great way to showcase a product in action and convey
emotions and feelings associated with it. They are often used in marketing
campaigns or social media channels to promote products or services. Secondly,
Videos are a good choice if you want to create an emotional connection with your
audience or showcase how your product works in a dynamic way.
I do not choose powerpoint slide because they can be boring if not done
well, and you risk losing your audience's attention if your presentation is too long
or too text-heavy.
Using poster is not my best choice because posters may not be suitable for a
more formal setting, such as a business meeting, where you need to convey more
detailed information.
95. place to hold a party: a resort, a restaurant, a student’s house
First of all, If I choose a restaurant, I can request decoration a lot of things
such as flowers, balloons, stars, colorful lights, and so on. Secondly, If I choose a
restaurant, I can order a lot of food such as soft drinks, cakes, fruits, spaghetti, and
so on. I can take part in some activities such as talking together, playing games,
answering questions, singing, and so on. It’s very interesting.
About in a student’s house, Although It helps me hold a party. I can save a
lot of money because I don’t need to book in advance. I don’t choose it because a
student’s house can have old people or children. It’s very inconvenient because the
party can make a noise and affect their rest.
About in a resort, Although It’s a great way to hold a party. I can do a lot of
things that I don’t affect other people. I don’t choose it because a resort is very
expensive. The food and book in advance aren’t cheap. It isn’t suitable for the
student to choose it. It takes a lot of money. It’s very costly
