Trang 647 Describe something you really want to buy in the future
49 Describe a vehicle you would like to buy (or own)
I guess everyone has their own long list of things that they would like to buy in the future To
me, the first thing that popped into my head is a personal car
Due to my family’s financial difficulties, I mostly used public transport in my student life and
you have to agree with me that traffic in Vietnam is terrible, especially during the peak hour
Every time, I get on the bus in the rush hour, I feel very tired and often get car sick Thus, as
soon as I graduated from university, I have been dreaming of having my own car
The car I want to buy is a Kia Morning manufactured by Honda This is a good – looking car
which is also fuel efficient Furthermore, its price is not too extravagent so I probably can
afford it in the near future It would be really unrealistic and impossible for a fresh graduate
like me to buy a sky - high car, such as Camry or Mecedes Benz
Having a personal car could save me from bad traffic situations And convenience is another
important reason to own a car I would never have to wait for a bus and stay in the long
queue And I can avoid bad traffic by taking an alternative route instead of suffering for
hours in a crowded bus

43 Describe an interesting website you have visited
I surf on the internet almost every day so if I make a list of useful websites, the list would be
very long I would like to talk about Google, the website that I find very useful for me Google
is the most visited website in the world as well as the best search engine currently
A couple of years ago, one of my friends suggested me this website and I have used it ever
since It allows me to search for any query or anything I want All I need to do is typing some
key words in a searching box and waiting for just few seconds to have a long list of possible
answers for my wonder I can search for websites, video, news, images, and information in
any fields Nowadays this website has become so popular that even my niece, a 5 year – old
girl, knows about Google
For me, this website is a great place to find information, references, academic books,
stories, news, websites and anything I want to know and find It is indeed an ultimate tool for
searching, an innovation in the technology world, which has transformed the whole society
for years Thanks to it, now people have easier access to an endless source of
information available on Earth To me, it has been a great and unreplaceable tool in my
student life

Trang 741 Describe a family member you would like to work with
If I have to choose a family member to work with, I would love to work with my father He is
quite tall, slim and athletic He gets on well with other people because he has a good
sense of humor
There are several reasons why I would like to work with my father Firstly, as we share the
common interest in accounting, I know that if I have a chance to work with him, I will learn a
lot from him My father currently is working as an accountant and this is also my major at
university Thus, I often come to him for help whenever I struggle to understand accounting
materials He never made everything complicated for me He is always willing to give
guidance on young people like me and try to find the easiest way for me to cope with any
problem Furthermore, he is a man of integrity because he always knows how to distinguish
between personal matters and work
Having witnessed his devotion for work, I was inspired to study hard day in and day out to
make significant progress in my study I always want to follow his footstep and I hope that
one day, I will have an opportunity to work with him

36 Describe an unusual building you have visited
39 Describe a historical building in your country/ hometown
Among a number of historical buildings in Hanoi, One – Pillar Pagoda is my most favorite
spot From my perspective, it is one of Vietnam’s most iconic pagodas
Located within Ho Chi Minh Complex, asides from Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum,
the Pagoda is a very popular tourist attraction It was conducted by Emperor Ly Thai Tong in
1049 According to legend, ageing Emperor Ly Thai To of the Ly dynasty, who had no
children, used to go to pagodas to pray to Buddha for a son One night, he dreamt that he
was granted a baby boy by the Buddha, who seated on a great lotus flower in a
square-shaped lotus pond on the western side of Thang Long Citadel Thus, the pagoda of lotus –
shape was constructed with one pillar in the middle of a lotus pond in gratitude for this
significant legendary event
I often take my foreign friends here to introduce them this unique attraction along with this
Vietnamese great legendary story To me, One – Pillar Pagoda reflects the architectural
splendor that Vietnam has developed for centuries Besides, as its name literally means
long lasting happiness and good luck, every time I come here, I feel peace and joy for my
mind

Trang 824 Describe something you do to (help you) stay healthy
I wake up very early in the morning and then walk for two hours every day Waking up early
and doing some physical exercise is the healthy habit I have developed for months
You would normally think that doing exercise is just the way to keep fit However, it brings
you many benefits that you cannot imagine As I read the article about healthy life before,
doing exercise can help to slow down the aging process The elderly who enjoy mild
exercise, such as gardening, are half as likely to suffer from cognitive impairment as they
age Children who walk to school tend to concentrate better and get better test results than
those given lift in the car
Having acknowledged that, I wake up from bed at around 5am and wear my favorite pair of
sports shoes Then, I start walking along the road that goes around the big lake near my
house Sometimes, I ride a bicycle to the nearby park instead of walking Taking a deep
breath of pure morning air freshens my mind and gives me energy to start a new day A
sound mind lies on a sound body and I believe that this habit is very helpful for keeping a
sound mind and maintaining good health

28 Describe a childhood song you remember well
My mother often sang a lullaby titled ‘Good night, sleeping baby” in my bed time and I heard
it so many times in my childhood that I can still remember it very vividly This was a song
usually famous in the rural area of our country that mothers often use to soothe the baby and
to send them in sleep It was an 8-10 lines song with great harmony and the way my mother
sang it was extraordinary It still echoes in my head and I miss those days
I can remember my mother often sang this song till I got in secondary school I was touched
by the lyrics and in my childhood, I often imagined that the verses used in this song were
true and would happen to me one day
We often remember things from childhood, specially the stories or songs we heard with great
enthusiasm This song was no exception I heard it hundreds of times and as a child, I
fantasized about those things That is the main reason I still remember it very clearly
Perhaps someday when I become a mother, I will sing this song to my children as well This
has in fact become a permanent memory, an unreplaceable part of my childhood

Trang 925 Describe an exciting sport you know -> football
There are many kinds of sports which people like playing these days, such as baseball,
basketball, volleyball, and cricket but I would like to talk about football which is so-called the
king of sports
Football is the popular kind of sports in almost all countries in the world Basically, it is a
collective game with 2 teams and each team has 11 players The main purpose is that
players try to keep their goal safe and kick the ball to the net of their opponents Scores are
recorded and the winner is the team having higher scores
It is the most famous sports in my country and all of my family members favor this sports,
especially my father and my brother Thus, I had a chance to approach this sports since I
was 7 years old I really love watching it because of the drama and surprise in each match
From my perspectives, it is really difficult to play well A player needs to be very strong to
compete with others, and be skillful in ball controlling, heading as well as having team spirit
A good football team needs to have solidarity as well as the ability to control the game
Therefore, normally there is a coach for each team and this person is not less famous than
other players

29 Describe a happy family event from your childhood that you remember well
There are numerous happy events in my life that I can recall and among them, I would like to
talk about the time when my family gathered to make the Chung cake for the Tet holiday
The Lunar New Year, or Tet, is a very special traditional holiday in my country It was
probably my most favorite holiday when I was a small girl as my family had a lot of activities
to celebrate this occasion Among them, making the Chung cake made me excited the
most The Chung cake is made of glutinous rice, green beans and fat pork, wrapped in
banana leaves in the shape of a square I often played with my older brother when my
parents prepared the ingredients for the cake And then, my father lit a small fire to boil the
cake overnight
It was perhaps the only time of the year when I was allowed to stay up late While my family
was sitting around the warm fire, my grandmother would tell the old legendary story about
the Chung cake to commemorate the filial affection of Lang Lieu prince to his father and
remind us of the long – lasting Vietnamese tradition
In recent years, my family has not had enough time for making the Chung cake on our own
However, to me, a ready – made Chung cake that we buy from a local market cant bring the
special feeling and replace the taste of a Chung cake from my childhood I hope that my
family can continue our tradition in the coming years

Trang 1027 Describe a special toy you had in your childhood
I have many toys in my childhood and at different stages, I prefer different toys However,
among them, a Teddy bear is the most special one to me and I still keep it at my closet until
now
I guess that all kids love a furry friend and so did I However, what made the bear really
special to me was that this was a gift from my father on an occasion of my 5th birthday
Everything about it was so different from other stuffed bears At that time, my father was
working far away and I missed him so much I thought that he could not come back to
celebrate my birthday party as he had did before To my surprise, on my birthday, he
suddenly came home and brought with him a lovely Teddy bear Missing him, I ran into him
and my father gave me big hug, then kissed me I was so excited about the Teddy bear
When I squeezed it, it said I LOVE YOU by the most sweet and lovely voice on Earth
Looking at it made me immediately think about my beloved father His physical presence on
my birthday was like gold to me You know, it is really hard to not have one of the most
important people to you in your birthday I would never forget that special moment and the
Teddy bear means so much to me

19 Describe a paid job you ever did or someone you know ever did
I remembered the time when I enjoyed working as a waitress/waiter at a cafeteria in the
campus It happened few years ago while I was a sophomore student in university I learnt
about this job from an online advertisement and I immediately jumped at the chance Despite
of being a business major, I still enjoyed this job very much as it offered me so many
opportunities for self – development
My main responsibilities included serving food and drinks for customers and assisting the
chefs in preparing for meals at peak hours such as lunch time or dinner time At the end of
each day, we also performed cleaning duties, such as sweeping and mopping floors,
vacuuming carpets and tidying up server station There were 10 other students working at
the same post as me on a 4 – hour shift basis We registered our shifts based on our
personal schedules so it is very flexible
I loved this job for several reasons Firstly, it offered me enough money to afford the cost of
living and support my parents in covering a part of my tuition fee Secondly, it gave me an
opportunity to expand social networks by making friends and talking with many people from
different backgrounds around the campus Furthermore, I learnt vital soft skills, such as
communication and teamwork skills, which are very important and beneficial to me
