Trang 3In recent years Viet Nam has environmental degradation many parts of the environment seriously contaminated by industrial waste, agricultural
emissions of vehicles in traffic and more important due to conscious humanFor-profit production company Nicotex Thanh Thai pesticides buried
thousands of tons of industrial waste in the region of Cam Van ( Cam Thuy) and Yen Lam (Yen Dinh) Thanh Hoa years polluting the area large size seriously affecting the life and production of local people Standing in front ofenvironmental pollution above, our young generation in the future owners of thecountry should be acutely aware of their own responsibility for
environmental issues-from environment of the individual, family, community-Saving resources, energy sources such as clean water, power Porest
protection, soil conservation,air,…

My village is surrounded by green rice paddies In the middle of the villagethere is a beautiful temple This temple was built to honor a heroine named
“Nguyen My Nuong” who founded my village My villagers call her the God
of the
Duyen Hy village Many visitors go to this temple on the first and fifteenthdays of the lunar month to worship her Next to the temple, there is a stadiumand a culture house where people often celebrate many meetings andfestivals Late in the afternoon, many children plays soccer, badminton or flytheir kites
Many years ago, my village was very poor My villager had to workhard in the field all day Their lives were simple and they were in need ofmany things Many people had to live in houses made of straw and mud, and
a few families had a radio or a TV set Now the facilities of my village is
Trang 4becoming better and better day by day There are more and more highbuildings There are many rich people Many people have motorbikes evencars The lifestyle of my village changed the work of the farmers is less hardbecause they are helped a lot by machines That means more food isproduced and less labour and less working hours are spent They also havemore free time for entertainment.
Most of the villagers are famers They are very hard-working After their harvest, they have extra jobs such as brick builders, welder, carpenters etc…
In Duyen Hy village there are many profesional brick-builders They can build many high buildings People in my village are also very friendly and helpful They are willing to offer mutual help in any case and always get on with one another harmoniously
My village is rather small indeed but I am very proud of it because I was born and have grown up there and spent my happiest childhood among the simple and hard-working villagers who always feel attached to their native land And I promise myself that I will try my best to study well to make my village more beautiful and richer in the future
03 EnvironmentEnvironment is the most important thing It’s the air we breath, the water we drink and is everything we need for our life
But now, that most important thing is being polluted by many different ways This pollution affects the health of living things
The air is damaged by exhaust fume from cars and power station, which destroys forests and lakes
When fossil fuels: oil, gases and coal are burned to provide energy for
lighting and cooking They form polluting gases
Not only on land but also in the sea, oil spill pollutes sea water and marine life
Chemical waste from factories and artificial fertilizers from farmland polute river water, kill wildlife and spread disease
Everything is caused by human We create such a lot of rubbish But we can change and solve it , Because pollution can be prevented by things we do every day
So I have some ideas of solution to it :
- Firstly,we can recycle paper to save trees
Trang 5- Seconly, try to refuse to buy plastic,which is hard to dissolve.If we can’t avoid buying carrier bag, we should reuse them for several times
- Finally,we should take old clothes to charity shop and some are sold
To protect environment , we also have to save energy by
- Switching off light when rooms aren’t in use
- Not wasting water
- Using a bicycle or walking instead of a car for short trip
They keep clean atmosphere and healthy life
Moreover, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100 walt light bulb with an energy to save money as well as the earth’s
resources.Currently, we’re still trying to invent the new things
Protecting the environment is to save not only energy but also natural
resources.This means conserving wildlife
- Firstly, we have to protect and plant more forest to make place for wildanimals
- Secondly, prohibit hunter who hunt animals too many, out of the law allowance
- Finally, now, we know that environment is the most important thing and how to protect it So please use those ways scientificially
Recognizing the importance of the environment, Yen Dinh district is
changing day by day They have done many things such as growing trees, asking students to clean the streets on special occasions, putting many waste baskets in the corner of the 45 street or making some speeches to show the people how to keep their surroundings unpolluted Especially, the people have been planting many beautiful trees on the two ways to welcome the Congress of the communist party of Vietnam
At Quan Lao town secondary school, we always have intention of keepingthe environment clean Each class has a duty on take care of some trees, plants and their surrounding We clean and water them every morning On afternoon Wednesday, all of us are very excited to take part in the useful activities which make the environment unpolluted In addition, we clean the yard, the ceilings and the windows We are really pleasant to see the result Now,our environment gets cleaner and cleaner, the trees are greener and fresher
And I hope there aren’t any polluted places in the world in the future Thanks for your listening!
Trang 604 FREETIME ACTIVITIES
As a student, I am quite busy on weekdays However, at weekends, I have much free time, so I usually spend it on relaxing to prepare for a coming busyweek
First of all, in my free time, I like playing some sports, such as soccer,
badminton or basketball, with my friends Sport not only makes me stronger but also connects me with my friends who have the same hobbies We
sometimes go riding in order that we can combine sporting activity and
sightseeing
If the weather is not fine enough for me to go out with my friends, I like reading books I have a big bookshelf with many kinds of books but I prefer science books Through these books, my knowledge is gradually widened Thirdly, I also love to listen to music from pop, dance,rock 'n roll to rap or melody I can listen to music at any place with a small but modern Ipod which is my father's gift for my 12th birthday Sometimes, I dance freely when listening to my favorite songs Music really paints my life
Last but not least, I spend my free time on surfing on Internet I can chat with
my friends from very far distance or I read online news With Internet, I update many things without having to go anywhere I can also study English through some interesting websites In conclusion, I want to use all of my free time to relax and connect with other people
05 stay healthy
In my opinion, our healh is the only thing we really have in the world You can take away our money, our house or our clothes, we can survive But take away our health, we will die That is the reason why we should do 3 following things to stay healthy
Firstly, eating healthfully is important to maintain one’s health I try to
avoid food high in fat like french fried or cookie I also try to limit the
amount of animal protein I consume I often eat fish or chicken and I rarely eat meat I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit, which are full of fibre and vitamines It is important to know how to cook these food so the nutrients arenot lost in the cooking process
Trang 7Secondly, your muscles must continue to be strong to support your body as it grows older Exercise helps the bones build density and helps you maintain your posture A regular exercise program cardio-vascular training and weight training is an important part of keeping your health.
Finally, friends are an important factor, which affects one’s health Studies have shown that people with a wide range of social contacts get fewercolds and have fewer complaints than those who don’t Laughing is also an important part of health I like laughing with my friends and I always fell better when I am with them than when I am alone
In conclusion, by eating properly and exercising regularly, I can kep
my body at an appropriate weight and can maintain my health By spending time with my friends I can keep my mind as well as my body happy It is a part of my recipe for healthful living
06 Environmental-pollution Goodmorning ladies and gentlmen Let me introduce myself My name is
Trinh Thi Hue Chi I am from Yen Truong secondary school which has twohundred and seventy students and twenty nine teachers My favourite subject
is English I think English is very interesting and useful in the future In myfree time I often listen to English songs Today I am very happy to stand here
to present a topic “Environmental Pollution”
As you know, enviroment is the most important thing for our life.Enviroment is the air we breath, the water we drink and is everything weneed for our life But now that most important thing for our life is beingpolluted and by many different ways This pollution affects the health ofliving things
Air is the first neccessity because we can't breath without it but it isdamaged by car and lorry fumes, and power stations create acid rain whichdestroys entire forests and lakes When fossil fuels, oil, gas and coal areburned to provide energy for lighting, cooking and so on … they formpolluting gases Not only on land but also in the sea, oils spills pollute sea
Trang 8water and kill marine life; chemical waste from factories and artificialfertilisers from farmland, killing wildlife and spreading disease Everything isbeing caused by human’s existence
The water of rivers and seas is being constantly polluted all over theworld by various dangerous chemical and biological wastes Mills andfactories discharge very harmful waste waters into many rivers and sea.Humans create such a lot of rubbish! Each household produces about 1 tonne
of rubbish every year! Most of this is taken away by dustmen and buried inenormous landfill sites or burned in incinerators - both of these actions can bedangerous for the environment
Beside that trees are being cut down rapidly Our earth is becomingwarmer If pollution continues, the day is not far when our earth will be aboiling pan and become a desert Or it will be covered with sea water causingdestruction of mankind
However we can change it and solve it Pollution can be prevented by thing
we do everyday
First of all we can use recycled paper to help save trees and plant more trees
to get more oxigen for our life,also protect the village or town from flood
Secondly try to avoid buying plastic It's hard to recycle One way to cut
down on plastic is to refuse to use carrier bags If we can’t avoid buying plastic bags, we should use re-use plastic bags over and over again, until theywear out
Thirdly , We should use a bicycle or walk instead of using a car for short trips we can save energy, keep clean atmosphere and keep healthy life The factories which pollute the air, water with poisonous liqid or gas must be stopped and fined heavily
Finally, at school we should teach the students how important the
inviroment is and how to protect it or organize some clubs , competition to increase in students’s awareness
In sum we now know that enviroment is the most important thing for life and we know how to protect and use it scientifically Everyday we invent andfind more and more way to protect enviroment I hope that in the future the earth will be cleaner
Trang 907 HEALTH AND MONEY
If you ask me health or wealth is more important, I will say withouthesitation that health is far more important and valuable than wealth Letconsider, health is the necessary condition while wealth is the sufficientcondition We need both of them in order to live happily But as you can see,the necessary condition is always more important
Wealth can bring us a pleasant and comfortable life, but a certain fact wecan’t buy health with money Today, there are still some deseases which have
no cure such as cancer, Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) …althoughnations pouring money into research it haven’t yet find a cure
Wealth doesn’t always make life more healthily and happily Rich peopleare taken effect by money pressuse, it makes their life uncomfortable whenthey always have to think about money and how to make money Nowadays,
a rapid growth of competition in the market in the world makes people befighting to keep their jobs as well as their bread and butter issue and forgethow important their health is in a stressful environment They don’t careabout themselves because they think money can keep them healthy This iscompletely erroneous, many people earn money like mad until they havestress, and waste money on treatment They have forgotten that after they die,
Money is also known as the source of social evils such as drug addiction,gambling, prostitution…etc
On the other hand, having good health would mean having a image and a balanced life When we are strong and healthy, we feel genicaland happy Good health allows us to learn and grow It allows us to travel andmeet new friends Without being fit, how can you enjoy your wealth If a manhave health , he can have every thing As an old saying : “Where there ishealth , there is life “ That’s why health is more important than wealth Thestatistics are clear that people are healthy live longer and more happily thanrich ones
From my view points, I would like to be healthy instead of wealthy I can
do anything include becoming rich but I can’t just work hard, drop my healthand live the rest of my life in bed It’s good to live healthy and remember :Wealth is only paper but health is the essence of us because it is the mostimportant
and valuable thing in life
Trang 1008 VIDEO GAMES
As we know the Internet has increasingly developed and become part
of our everyday life Do you find the Internet useful ? What do you use the Internet for? Do you use the Internet for playing videogames? And how muchtime do you spend on games?
In my opinion, everything all has two sides: good and bad As for me Internet is a wonderful invention in our modern life, it makes our world become a small village However, it has limitations And now I want to tell you about the bad effect of the Internet on us, especially, on school It called
Secondly, It’s health collapse They have to suffer from headache, backache, dizzy or short sighted because they sit in front of the computers, cellphones…from a short distance for a long time, they have no time to be closed to the nature More dangerously, some of us play unhealthy games
Finally, It’s expensive One hour playing games spends about four or five thousand dong, some giddy students play hour by hour, day by day, eventhey play truant to play games while they are students, they have no money
to play Besides, some games are too violent and they make their characters bad This lead to they become robbers, they steal others’ things such as
books, calculators, bicycles, more dangerously, some killed their relatives in order to get money to play video games
From these effects, for me I just spend thirty minutes a week playing games and I only play games to relax I hope you are the same to me Let’s play video games to relax
The Government should pass regulation: not for people under the age
of 18 play video games during office hours
Families and schools should educate children about the danger of videogames from early age More importantly, help students, especially who are addicts toward outdoor activities, happy and healthy life
Trang 1109 THE MID- AUTUMN FESTIVAL
There are many festivals in a year in Viet Nam Today I want to talk aboutone of them.It's the mid-autumn festival
By tradition the Vietnamese people love their children so much that theyorganize Mid-Autumn festival for themselves but mainly for their children This festival is celebrated on the 15th of the eighth month in the lunarcalendar It's called Mid-Autumn festival because this festival takes placeexactly in the middle of Autumn when the moon is full
The preparations for the festival are made a month before The moon cakesand toys as well as the lanterns of various designs are sold at the market or onthe street .People buy moon cake either for themselves or for theirchildren Some people buy moon cakes as gifts for their friends and relatives
On that day adults eat moon cakes over their tea while children are servedmoon cakes,Mid-Autumn festival food and fruit Children are very keen onmarching in a procession of lanterns in shapes of various things and animalstoo.They are excited and amused by Mid-Autumn toys and lanterns
It'very interesting to celebrate the Mid- Autumn festival by tradition
How delighted we feel watching the bright full moon on a cool and breezyevening of Mid-Autumn
10 Video games and effects
In the model world, there are a lot of young people who play video games So, what are video games and how do they influence to our life, especially to the young people?
Video games are interesting games that are often played on the
computer or on the internet They extremely fascinate to every body by both attractive sounds and colorful stages However, every one has hardly known their serious effects
Firstly, if we play video games for a long time, our life will be
influenced These games are fun but players should be careful because they can be addictive If we spend much time on video games, we won’t have time
on study and we will forget to do other important things in the life.We will depend on video games Many teenagers stole because they needed money for video games
Trang 12Secondly, Video games are harmful to our health, too.We will become tired or dizzy when we play video games for a long time Our eyes will be influenced Scientists said “Video games aren’t good for children They are harmful to us Children should take part in outdoor activities or programs of school instead of playing video games”
For the above reasons, we shouldn’t play video games for a long times because they are very harmful and dangerous to our life
11 deforestation
As we know, forests cover approximately one fifth of the worlds landsurface and play an important role in our everyday lives They are one of themost necessary natural resources that have been gifted to mankind They notonly have major role in enhancing the quality of our environment but alsoinfluence local and global climate Forests are also our nation’s wealth
Can you picture our earth without forests, we can, t, but the problem isthat “deforestation” It is a major concern in today’s society
Each year, millions of woodlands are destroyed, the varied species ofanimals and insects from the forests are extinct Morever, the uncontrolablewildfires fueled by weather, wind and dry underwood not only consume ourbeautiful forests but also the wildlife, our homes and the lives of those whofight the wildfires
Deforestation is causing many social, economic and ecologicalproblems One ecological problem is global warming that changes the climate
of the whole world With deforestation we are basically cutting our ownlungs We take away an ecosystem that produces major oxygen and filter ourcarbon dioxide, destroying forests products influences nation, s wealth, too
Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, woodextraction, infrastructural expansion such as road, building and urbanization
Such activities result in flash floods, land slides and soil erosion, wildanimals are robbed of their natural habitats, with fewer trees there is anincrease in carbon dioxide but a decrease in oxygen production
If forests are destroyed, there is no way that human can survive Fromoxygen that we breathe in, the food that we eat, to the clothes we wear, weown it to the trees We won’t have fuel, fodder, timber, medicine and otherproducts from the trees
Trang 13So what we should do immediately to change it and solve it Forestscan be protected by things we do everyday.
Firstly, we can use recycled paper to help save trees We avoiddestroying paper by consuming less paper and recycling them because oneton of recycled papers save approximately 15 big trees
Secondly, we need to conserve the old forests, rainforests and plantmore forests to make place for wild animals to live Where deforestation hastaken it should be followed by reforestation I suggest that everyone shouldsow seeds to grow at least one tree every year
Thirdly, every citizen from the young to the old especially students inschools should be educated on the benefits of forests and ways of reusing andrecycling papers Everyone should know that man is really trying to destroyforests and directly cutting his life span, actually cutting one tree is equal tosubtracting one day of his life .So everyone should protect our forests,prevent wildfires and remind each other to carry out I think that any act ofkindness, no matter how small is never wasted Beside that our governmentneeds to promulgate effective laws to punish offenders
In conclusion, I would like to say that forests are our life So pleasetake care of our forests as well as our earth I hope that our planet will bemore and more green
12 The importance of learning English
In my opinion, today English is one of the most important languages inthe world English language is a common language and is spoken in many countries It can even be said to be the most important language Learning English is very important because it helps us communicate in foreign
countries, widens our kowledge and improves our chance of getting a good job
Well, firstly, English language is the international language meaning over 60% of the world,s population are speaking in English This means that
we can communicate well if we do know how to speak the language It will help you gain friends not just locally but also it will open some doors for you
to venture on the other countries and spend either vacation or for studying purposes You can imagine when a person tralves to another part of the worldeither because of busseness or even as a tourist without knowing English, it
is very difficult for him to understand In these condition, English is the
Trang 14language that helps people to deal with the situation It is like a popular
language
Secondly, learning English widens people,knowledge The instructions given in some appliances, equipments, and food labels were written mostly inEnglish It will be important that you understand what was written on the instructions so that no harm or accidents will happen Besides all these, there are many interesting and good programs written, produced by American or British companies If we are good at English we can collect and watch
television,s best programs we want Knowing English will also enable you to enjoy some of the world,s most beautiful works written in English
Finally, students at school not only it is simply one of their subjects butalso their need in the future We have to study English well is that it will helpthem to get a job with high salary when we graduate When you go for a job interview, the interviewer will surely talk to you in English If you cannot speak English well, your chances of getting the job are very slim A good command of English will also help you greatly in your job If the company you work is involved in international trade, you have to speak to customers inEnglish If your English is bad, you will not be able to get orders for your company,s products You will likely be dismissed
In Viet Nam, English has been regarded as the most important foreign language nowadays, especially since the Vietnamese Government carried out the open door policy English has been taught for a long time in Viet Nam It becomes a compulsory subject in most universities and schools throughout the country Recently, The Ministry of Education and Training has announced 12thgraders will take just one examination, instead of two separate examinations as
at present And language is chosen to be one of official subjects for one
national exam This reason motivates the students to learn English I hope that with this new change, more and more Vietnamese students will pass the
national exam with their high results
And the last one, I would like to tell you that although people in any parts of the world might not have the same accent as others, the language at least will be understandable That is all my own reasons why learning English
is very important to all people on this earth
13.Country and city life
Trang 15In my opinion, urban life or rural life has its own advantages and
disadvantages.
First, living in the city we may enjoy those benefits:
- Thanks to electricity network and running water, our material lives are more comfortable Supermarkets, markets and shops are found
everywhere and we can buy anything we need providing that we can afford it
- Urban life provides us with all kinds of entertainments: movies, theatres, concerts and famous recreation centers
- Living in the city, we can improve our knowledge easily by attendingany schools, universities or evening classes where experienced teachers and professors are ready to satisfy our thirst for knowledge
Besides its advantages, urban life also has its disadvantages:
- Our health is in danger: pollution by factories and heavy traffic may cause serious diseases to all of us
- Violent deaths happen regularly in such a crowded city with all kinds
of vehicles
On the contrary, rural life seems ideal to all of us, especially to the old.
- We can enjoy fresh, cool air and beautiful landscapes in the country
- How safe and delighted we are when we can sleep soundly at any time of the day without being disturbed by horns of cars or by deafening noises from factories
- Our social lives in the country are easier: we can eat the food and vegetables we grow, the chickens we raise The countrymen lead a very simple life and they are ready to help one another in any case
Apart from these advantages, living in the country we may meet a lot of difficulties too.
- Our knowledge is limited by being short of mass media
- Our social and physical lives are not as comfortable as those in the city
Trang 16In conclusion, our love for city life or country life depends on our outlook and age As for me, I always prefer rural life to urban life.
This is the end of my presentation Thank you for listening!
14 The importance of water
Since the beginning of time, water has continued to be an important thing to all living things Without water nothing could live
Man has always looked for pure fresh water to slake his thirst
Firstly,Water not only quenches our thirst but it is also a source of food to
us From the sea we catch large quantities of fish and other creatures
Secondly, We use water to irrigate our lands to produce crops Many parts ofthe world are dry and barren because there is no water there People in such places lead a very hard life Thirdly, Water also helps to increase the fertility
of the land in several parts of the world Even electricity, which has changed our lives completely, is produced by water-power in many countries
Finally, water is an important means of transportation We use waterways to carry our goods or trade Water transport is cheaper than land transport In many countries rivers are used to bring down timber from the hilly regions tothe lower regions where the timber mills are In this way much money is saved
It is true, however, water has caused much destruction to life and property throughout human history Heavy rainfall, tidal waves have killed thousands
of people and destroyed homes and crops People throw away garbage, dead animals into the river and the chemistry waste from factories have also
caused much pollution to our water resource Yet, water is indispensable to life, and people everywhere are trying their best to bring water to places where it is scarce
In conclusion, water plays an important part in our lives Everyone should do something to protect it
15 School Games
Trang 17As you know: There are various types of games played in schools.Some games are meant for boys and others for girls.Football (soccer),hockeyand rugby are popular games among boys while netball, basketball andbadminton are girls’favorite games
Playing games gives plenty exercise for all the muscles of our body They make strong the lungs and make a child healthy The physical talent of
a child develops if she or he plays games or participate in cross- country race
or gymnastic activities
Games also give the best opportunity for boys and girls to learn operation and the habit of obeying rules They may learn the team spiritinstead of self –interest It enables students to become good citizens A gamelike football is played by a team of eleven players and each one has to followthe rules of the game In this way all the players show co-operation in a team
co-to win the games
In our school various games are organised by our sports teacher forboys and girls Every evening games are played after classes Our schoolhas a large playground for football , basketball , and netball games There is
an indoor badminton court as well for both boys and girls
Every student should involve in one or the other game for physical,mental and moral development
16 We should live in the countryside
I think living in the coutryside is something that people from the city oftendream about Because there are certainly many advantages to living in thecountryside
First of all, in the countryside, life is quiet, peaceful, relaxing and especially
Trang 18the suitable place they can live In addition, life is healthier in the
countryside with clean, fresh air and lots of open space for children They canboth fly their kites and play in the fields
In conclusion, it can be seen that the countryside is more suitable for some
people than others On the whole, it is often the best place for those who areretired or who have young children
17 What you do for good health.”
Our health is the only and the most precious thing we really have in theworld It’s also the most valuable property which makes our life happier andmore enjoyable I believe that everyone has their own methods to keep themhealthy As far as I am concerned, a healthy diet, doing exercise, keeping offbad habits taking medical examinations regularly, and friends are my ownmethods in staying healthy
Eating healthfully is important to maintain our health You should have
a balanced diet That means you should eat a variety of food without toomuch of anything Such as eating a moderate amount of fatty food and sugar;eating some body-building food, like meat and dairy products; eating plenty
of cereals, fruits and vegetables
Doing exercise regularly and effectively is another part of stayinghealthy It is necessary for you to spend twenty or thirty minutes doingexercise every day Furthermore, choosing a suitable sport for you to take up
is very important Why do I say so? The reason is that if you choose asuitable sport, you will do it better It will be effective for you as you expect
In addition, our bad habits such as drinking, smoking, staying up lateare hidden enemies of our health: drinking and smoking lead to manydangerous diseases such as lung cancer, throat cancer, mouth cancer….andcause million of deaths yearly while staying up late is the reason ofsleeplessness and stress That is also the reason why we should never smoke
or drink and go to bed after 10.30 pm Certainly, avoiding those unhealthyhabits is a key to keep us healthier
Beside that, we should see the doctor for taking the medicalexaminations twice a year to make sure that our health is good Most peoplehave a bad habit that they only have a medical check-up when they sick.However, some health problems or diseases can not be seen until theybecome serious There is a saying goes: “ An apple a day keeps the doctor
Trang 19away” Therefore, taking the medical examination regularly helps us realizeand prevent dangerous diseases before they become worse.
And the last advice for good health is friends This seems not to berelated to people’s health, do you think that? We know that friends play animportant role in our life They also are important part of our health Friendsoften bring happiness and help us deal with stress A lot of studies haveshown that emotional health is related to physical health Spending time withfriends helps keep us emotionally healthy
On the whole, it is not hard to figure out how to get a good health but it
is more difficult to do that Thinking about a healthy diet, avoiding drinking
or smoking is very easy; however we all know that doing those is extremelydifficult We need one more thing than those tips to get good health.Unquestionably, it is our determination
18 What can we do to protect our enviroment?
Good morning ladies and gentlemen My name’s Thanh and I’m from Dinh Tuong secondary school.Today, I’m happy to take part in English speaking contest school year 2014-2015.On behalf of all students of Dinh Tuong secondary school allow me to give my love and my best wishes to the teachers and students I would like to wish our contest successfully.Now, I will present my speaking the topic is Environment
Enviroment is the most important thing for our life Enviroment is the air
we breath, the water we drink and is everything we need for our life But nowthat most important thing for our life is being polluted by many different ways This pollution affects the health of living things Air is damaged by exhaust fume from cars and lorries, and power stations create acid rain whichdestroys entire forests and lakes When fossil fuels i.e oil, gas and coal are burned to provide energy for lighting, cooking etc they form polluting
gases Not only on land but also in the sea, oils spills pollute sea water and kill marine life; chemical waste from factories and sewage works, and
artificial fertilisers from farmland, pollute river water, killing wildlife and spreading disease Everything is being caused by human’s existence Humanscreate such a lot of rubbish! Each household produces about 1 ton of rubbish every year! Most of this is taken away by dustmen and buried in enormous landfill sites or burned in incinerators - both of these actions can be
Trang 20dangerous for the environment.
But only we can change it and solve it Pollution can be prevented by thing we do everyday First we can use recycled paper to help save trees Second try to avoid buying plastic It's hard to disolve One way to reduce plastic is to refuse to use carrier bags If we can’t avoid buying plastic bags,
we should reuse plastic bags, until they wear out Finally we should take yourold clothes to charity shops, some are sold To protect environment we also have to save energy Use less energy by switching off lights when rooms are not in use, not wasting water; don’t forget to switch off all electric things when they are not in use, use a bicycle or walk instead of using a car for shorttrips we can save energy, keep clean atmosphere and keep healthy life
Lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the electricity bill
However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt lightbulb with an energy-saving bulb and we still trying to invent the new thing to save money as well as conserve the Earth’s resources
Keeping the environment clean isn’t enough, we have to protect natural resources That is the way to conserve wild life First we need to conserve theold forests, rainforests, and plant more forests to make place for wild animals
to live Secondly, we need to prohibit hunters who hunt animals too many out of the law allowance
Finally, we now know that enviroment is the most important thing for life and we know how to protect and use it scientifically Everyday we invent and find more and more way to protect enviroment
I hope that in the future the earth will be cleaner

19 STUDENTS WITH VIDEO GAMES
Good morning ladies, gentlemen, gentle teachers and all the students in the competition today!
The first words I’d like to convey to you wishes for health, happiness, sucessand good contest success
My fullname’s Lu Huyen Tram I am in grade 9 and I am from Yen Trung secondary school
Trang 21Today I’d like to tell you about “students with video games”.
We know that along with the development of science and technology
Nowadays, almost everything is done with the help of computers
Computers have made life easier and more convenient for everybody There are a lot of games on computers ,too The students today left folksy games such as playing marbles, blindman’s bluff … And they play video games everywhere A lot of students play them without thinking of studying and come up with bad activities What do you think about it?
Playing video games is originally a healthy pastime but playing it too much isbothering the families, the schools and the society We can see many studentssitting hourly in front of the computers and forgetting their studying Infact, video games attracts a lot of people, especially students because of its super qualities as lively pictures and voice suitably for the young We can’t deny that playing video games has both advantages and disadvantages
Firstly, I want to deal with its advantages Playing video games helps train our mind sensibly to solve the situations skillfully and actively It helps us enrich our knowledge as well as relax after hard studying hours
However, playing video games too much brings us disadvantages It wastes time and money even makes students distract their studying Besides, it makes us tired, dizzy, short-sighted and lack of living skills This leads to other bad effection to ourselves and people around
So what should we do to reduce this? Every student must be aware of
advantages and disadvantages of playing games We have to adjust the time without effecting our studying because video games can be addictive We must be careful and we can play it when our parents allow
In my opinion, all the students should take part in healthy and useful
activities like outdoors activities to develop our social skills I hope all of you support my ideas to perfect ourselves and get succeed in our studying

21.the famous places in Viet Nam.
As we know, there are many famous places from north to south in Viet Nam
First of all, I/d like to talk about Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay is situated in north Vietnam round a 120- kilometer long coastline and is literally translated as “Bay of Descending Dragons” And It is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site The top tourist attraction
in Vietnam, Ha Long Bay features thousands of islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves, other islands include lakes and some support floating villages of fishermen
The second place is Sapa
Sa Pa is a mountainous town in northwest Vietnam not far from the Chinese border Rice terraces can be found in the Muong Hoa valley between Sa Pa town and the Fansipan Mountain There are many beautiful mountain slopes and jungle streams Local mountain people, the Hmong, Dao, and Tay, grow rice and corn on these paddy terraces, along with vegetables
The third place is Nha Trang Nha Trang is VietNam,s most seaside resort and an ideal center for
relaxation This coastal city is a ten – kilometer beach and 19 islands It
Trang 23features beautiful beaches with fine and clean sand and clear ocean water with mild temperatures And there are many wonderful sights such as oceanicinstitute, giant Buddha, Cham towers, Vin Pearland…
The next place is Da Lat
Dalat is the capital of Lam Dong Province in Vietnam The city is located
4,900 feet above sea level on the Langbian Plateau in the southern parts of the Central Highlands region Dalat is very famous for fine trees, waterfalls, lakes and flowers Flowers can be found everywhere and in any season
because the city’s temperate weather stands in contrast to Vietnam's
otherwise tropical climate Mist covering the valleys almost year-round leads
to its name "City of Eternal Spring"
And the last place I would like to tell you about Hanoi, the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Hanoi is the country’s principal economic and cultural center It is a historicalcity and known as “Capital of thousand years of culture” We can visit many famous places in Han noi such as Ho Chi Minh/s Mausoleum, The Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem lake and many beautiful parks and zoos … and Hanoi people in particular and Vietnamese people in general are very friendly and hospitable Have you ever been to these places? If not Visit them as soon
as possible
22 Which places would you prefer to live city or country life?
As you know the question “ Which places would you prefer to live city or country? ” Is it difficult to answer? Do you agree with me? Oh, yes I was born and grew up in the country so I know my home village very clearly There are many benefits such as life is simple, quiet people are friendly, hospitable, they are willing to help each other Anymore the air is clean and peaceful The food and vegetable is fresh even cheaper Although there are a lot of benefits in the country I prefer living in the city to living in the country because of some reasons
The first reason
I am certain that living in city is better It is a place where many buildings, factories, companies, offices have been built It is a good chance for many people to get different kind of jobs and can make better choices for their ownfuture I belived that well- paying jobs are plentiful in the city you can earn money easily.More over there are many different services for example
beautiful salons, good hospitals, good universities, supermarkets and
Trang 24bookstores On the other hand in the country life is always a struggle with nature Typhoons, floods or droughts can easily destroy a harvest and leaves the farm with little or no money untill the following year.
The second reason
City life is more exciting than country life There are many chance to attend cultural events to entertain After a hard working and learning week It is a good a place for them to relax and learn by themselves Such as the movie theaters, museums, zoos and concerts There fore if you want to go to the restaurant,there is wide selections of food you can eat anything, anywhere you can go but you don’t have this choice in the country the same two or three restaurants Everything is the same
Thirdly Transportation is easier in a city everything is more exciting inthe country In the country You have to catch a car to get around Becausethere isn’t any kind of public transportation In the city there are many kind
of transportation services such as taxi, airplan, train usually buses and taxis Using public transportation is usually cheaper and more convenient than driving a car But it is difficult for you to do this
In short Living in the city has more benefits in the country you see the millions of people are coming to the city That’s why I choose to live in the city
23 Da Lat – The unforgettable destination
I Opening:
In Vietnam, there are so many interesting destinations such as Sa Pa, HaLong Bay, Sam Son beach, Phong Nha Cave (etc) but in my opinion, DaLat is the place that almost all visitors often choose when they have a chance
to go to on their vacations, and I’m also a lucky person to travel to Da Latwith my parents last summer
II Body:
First of all, I would like to talk about the climate Located on langbian
highlands, part of the central highlands of Vietnam Da Lat is 1500m abovesea level The climate offers tourists a perfect atmosphere to enjoy theholidays The weather is pleasant throughout the year with brilliantsunshines Now and then, fog comes in which creates a lively and romanticsetting in the city It will be more beautiful at moon night when you sitdrinking a cup of hot coffee in the cool, quiet and peaceful distance that a
Trang 25feeling of warmth, happiness will come around A moment in time, nobodywants to leave Da Lat is also known as the city of Eternal Spring.
The second viewpoint is about landscapes There are lots of nice views in
Da Lat and all of them are symbols or special places of it; for example: XuanHuong Lake, Love Valley, Than Tho Lake, Cam Ly Waterfall and so on.Thinking that if people arrive in Da Lat, they don’t forget to see Anotherattraction of it is the wonderful scenery There are many beautiful gardensand lovely French colonial architecture here Walking along the streets in theshade of tall pine trees, visitors can see beautiful flowers In addition, tourists
to Da Lat also have opportunity to broaden their knowledge about ethnicminorities Each tribe has different languages, customs which promotes thediversity of cultures
The other factor to mention is delicious fresh food in Da Lat Thanks to
nature born specialties vegetable and fruit products Especially salad mixedwith fresh vegetables This makes Da lat foods more different from others Ifyou are looking for a good food, don’t forget to eat street food which madetasteful such as sweet potato, strawberry jam
Finally, I would like to mention people and traffic in Da Lat People
are very friendly and truthful I stayed there two days and recognized a lot.People living here are mainly tribal people who work hard to earn living andalways optimistic about their life Although I met them at first time, I got afriendly smile Going along streets, I didn’t see traffic lights or the policeanywhere but there was no accident This can’t have in my province
III Closing:
In conclusion, Da Lat is a wonderful place for everyone to go for their holiday
24.VIDEO GAMES.
And now, I would like to say something about the positive effects.
- First of all, games help students relax after school and give them fun such asgame of caro, Mario, chess…
Trang 26- Secondly, Games for cleverness help students raise up their cleverness.Because in these games, players must think a lot For example: games ofarranging parts of a picture….
- Thirdly, students practise reacting quickly to different situations in games,which help them solve the problems better
- Moreover, games for learning help students study with higher results, such
as games in IOE program, sunflower, boong boong… In these programs,there are some parts of learning with the structrure of games Students canlearn and play at the same time so they find it extremely comfortable tostudy, as a result they remember better
- Finally, some games can develop the child’s talent such as games ofcomposing songs, games of mathematics…
Beside the positive effects, video games also have negative effects.
- Firstly, it’s a waste of time for students to play video games, especially badeffective games Games usually attract students a lot so they can causestudents’ laziness of studying And of course they will study worse andworse
- Secondly, games can cause some diseases, which are short – sighted, bone(spine) problems and tiredness… because of having a long time sitting infront of the screen and lacking of outdoor activities
- And then, violent games can make students be more violent It’s easy forstudents to remember actions in games and they fight each other
- Besides, sometimes students live with their game lives and their behaviorscan be worse in everyday life
- The most dangerous factor of games is that games can be addictive.Students can be addicted to games and they do not like doing anything exceptgames
Today, I would like to mention a question: “Should students play video games or not?” It’s a hard question
As for me, students should play good games such as games for studying,games for intelligence and games for fun but they ought to control their timefor games They should only play games in their free time Students shouldnot play bad games, such as violent games and other bad games
