1.Why do people like to keep pets?

It’s mainly because that nowadays people sometimes feel lonely while pets can both serve as good companions and drive away people’s loneliness Especially for young children, pets can be their best partners For example, in some foreign hospitals, doctors sometimes let dogs accompany with sick children, giving them comfort and encouragement

2.What should we do to protect endangered animals?

It’s everyone’s duty to love and protect endangered animals First and most important, we should establish the concepts of protecting endangered animals and their habitats and propagate the law of wildlife protection Another way is that we should refuse to eat endangered animals, as well as use fur products

3.Do you support doing an experiment on animals?

Yes, although I don’t support the suffering of animals, advances in medicine should be a priority For example, testing pharmaceuticals on animals are still the most efficient way to examine the efficacy and safety of medicines But I think if possible, scientists can try to look for some other alternatives before using the animal

as test subjects

4.Why do some people refuse to eat animals?

There are many people who are vegetarians They consume no animal products whatsoever In recent years, researches show that a meatless diet is healthier for people, so more people are trying to eat less meat Some others refuse to eat animals for religious reasons For example, in China, many people became Buddhists, and no longer kill or eat animals

5.Why would happen when some species disappear on earth?

The rate of species extinction is accelerating in recent years, which means that the environment and ecological system have been severely damaged Every species plays an important role in the biologic chain when some species disappear on earth, the chain will break, and other species in the chain may also face extinction

My last birthday was held in a restaurant I invite my best friends, and We had birthday cake, sang and danced together My parents and my friends gave me some lovely and beautiful presents

I'd like to receive some intellectual gifts, such as the electronic dictionary, notebook computer and so on

4.Is there a difference between the way you celebrated your birthday in the past and the present?

Sure, I think there's a big difference When I was a child, my parents always prepared a birthday party for me, and we sang the birthday song and ate birthday cake together But now I seldom celebrate my birthday and sometimes I even forget it, because I'm so busy, and I have no time to celebrate it

PART 3: describe a place you have been to that was

polluted

1.What kinds of pollution are serious in your country?

Well, in my opinion, air and water pollutions are serious in my countries With the development of economy and technology, a lot of harmful gasses is discharged from the factories, polluting both the air and the water Besides, the abundant use of chemical pesticides also makes the water seriously polluted

2.What can individuals do to protect our environment?

Well, it is everyone’s civil responsibility to protect our environment, and there are many things that individuals can do to protect it Firstly, we can reuse the resources after reclaiming and reprocessing

Secondly, we should diminish the amount of garbage produced by ourselves Thirdly, we can recycle resources by passing through a series of changes or treatments as to process, recover or make available for reuses through the natural process of biochemical degradation or modification

3.Do you think individuals should be responsible for pollutions?

Well, individuals should be partially responsible for pollution and do their part

to control what they can at their home, going to work or play, but the government has

a larger responsibility to remove more vehicles off of the roads and to control the exhaust from power plants

4.Why is there a need to involve government in environmental protection? The need is very obvious The citizens of our country have no control over power plants, manufacturing businesses and the use of automobiles These are the largest contributors to air, water, and land pollution Without the government's intervention, there would be no environmental protection at all

The senior person whom I respect and like is my grandmother From my childhood, she has been a caring person for me Still, she is a good friend of mine whom I share many things She is a benevolent and good person who possesses a good heart She tries to help others with her highest efforts

I know her from my childhood as she lives with us and we have a lot of happy memories together She is a successful mother of 3 people including my father She has devoted all her life to her kids and made them educated She possesses a nice and charming personality that illuminate people around her

PART 1: Public Transportation

1.What’s the most popular means of transportation in your hometown?

The bus is the most popular means of transportation in my hometown But the nearest bus station is half a mile away, and there’s only one bus passing every twenty minutes You’ll get frustrated if you miss a bus

2.How often do you take buses?

I take a bus to work every day I am a moron in driving, but taking a bus is both cheap and convenient, and you don’t have to drive yourself However, when stuck in traffic jams, you may feel anxious

3.Can you compare the advantages of plane and trains?

Well for me, I’d say, with trains, you can get up and move around during the journey, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the trip While an advantage of taking the plane is that it can save time, and it allows you to reach any place in the world

4.Is driving to work popular in your country?

I don’t think so In Australia, traffic jams often happen in the rush hour, especially on rainy days So most people choose to go to work by subway since it has the merit of convenience, shortcut, and vast capacity

5.Do you think people will drive more in the future?

No Because the government in Australia encourage people to drive less, so more and more people choose to take public transportations You know, the traffic situation is overly bad during rush hours, and taking public transportations like subway is both cheap and convenient

6.Would you ride bikes to work in the future?

No, because my company is pretty close to me, it’s just a ten minutes’ walk So

I don’t really need a bike to get there

7.What will become the most popular means of transportation in Australia?

I think that will be the subway Well, I think subways will become the most popular means of transport for urban development because of its efficiency, punctuality, low pollution And I believe that in the future, the subway system in my city will be more complete

8.Do you prefer public transportation or private transportation?

I prefer public transportation I used public transportation all the time to get to

& from work The transportation in the big city is crap So owning your car or taking

a taxi isn’t such a good idea You could be stuck in traffic forever plus the expenses for gas and parking garages

Part 2: Describe a leader who you admire (for example,

in sport, business or politics)

You should say:

Who this person is

What this person did (has done) that you admire

How you got to know this person

And explain why you admire this person

Well, the person that I’d like to talk about is Donald Trump, who is an American real estate developer, television personality, business author, and political candidate I first got to know this person when I watched an American reality show called The Apprentice years ago In this show, a group of competitors battled for a high-level management job in one of Trump’s commercial enterprises Recently, Donald Trump has been grabbing headlines again after he announced he was running for president of the United States

I simply admire Donald Trump because he’s a TV icon and a household name Apart from that, his one-of-a-kind hairstyle has been hotly discussed and joked about for a long time So whether or not Trump can succeed in politics remains to be seen

In the meantime, I’ll continue to enjoy his reality show

Part 2: Describe an app on your computer or phone

You should say:

What the app is

How long you have used it

What it is used for

And explain why you think it is useful

In recent years, people have become more and more attached to their phones, and an increasing number of apps are becoming an integral part of people live Personally, I would like to talk about Pokémon Go, a location-based reality mobile game having gone viral in the last few weeks

smart-Well, I first got to know this game when I was reading information from my Facebook 3 weeks ago My Facebook was filled with a lot photo of this game Having been told that Pokémon Go was currently unavailable at the app store in Vietnam I immediately called my close friend who is now living in the US to share with me about her experiences of playing this game

As far as I can tell from what he said, it is a huge multiplayer online dependent game app developed by Nintendo It engages people to reach areas to find Pokémon in the real world with the use of virtual reality (VR) and the camera of compatible devices

GPS-And now, Pokémon Go available to download in Vietnam, I’m so excited One

of the most important reasons why Pokémon Go become a monster hit is that you never know where you’re going to meet a new Pokémon Also, playing Pokémon Go isn’t actually just playing a game You have to walk a lot then you will quickly realize that you’re part of a global community that has a common goal and purpose –

to catch them all So these are the reasons that I could come up with to explain why Pokémon Go is useful

you should say:

be much traffic; people don’t work on Sundays, so the roads aren’t usually very busy

Everything was going well until suddenly I saw a queue of cars on the road in front of me I had no choice but to join the queue and wait to get past whatever was causing the delay It turned out that it resulted from some roadworks, and it took me

an extra 30 minutes to get past them

Getting stuck in traffic congestion doesn’t usually make me angry, but this time, it did, mainly because I wasn’t expecting it and I knew that my friends were waiting to meet me for lunch I felt frustrated and powerless because there was nothing I could do to change the situation, and I had no idea how long I would be sitting there waiting When I finally saw the reason for the congestion, I was relieved that I was close to getting past the roadworks, but I still felt a bit stressed knowing that I was half an hour late

Sample answer 2:

I do not usually get angry for small reasons and not one of the short-tempered persons who get angry easily for silly reasons I got furious with my friends, and I was so furious that I did not talk to them for some days

This occurred when I was in 7th semester in my university probably in the year

2010 I had a friend named Rumel, who invited Stephen and me to visit his hometown after the term final Three of us made our plan final and fixed the date for our journey Since we were not in the same university, we stayed at different paces of the city Three days before the scheduled date of our trip I called both of them from a local phone booth to confirm if the plan is still valid or not They both told me they are looking forward to the visit and Rumel told me that he has already told his parents and relatives about our visit

I called my home that I would visit my friend’s hometown, and that’s why my visit to them would be a bit delayed They wished me a safe and pleasant journey I got my bags packed the night before our trip and as planned we would meet at the city station at 9.00 am We planned to go there by train as we thought train journey would be more enjoyable than the bus journey

In the morning of the due date, I wake up early and checked if I have packed all the right stuffs or not Then I picked a taxi and went to the station at 7.30 am I looked for my friends and found they are yet to come Rumel was supposed to buy the train tickets and I could not find any one of them I looked for them in every places of the station and to my dismay they were nowhere to be found In the mean time I hear that the clock is ticking to announce that it is 10:00 am and I found 2/3 trains already departed Initially I was annoyed and when it was 11.30 am I got seriously frustrated and angry I felt like a stupid and all of my angers started to grow

up I was so upset that I did not call my friends I sat at the station for another 30 minutes to pacify my anger and then took a taxi to return home

They tried to call me to explain the reason they could not show up that morning and almost after two weeks they came to my room and explained that due to Stephen’s mother’s sudden and unexpected illness, he had to leave for his hometown that morning They both thought that the other one had informed me about the cancellation of our tour I told them that we are even now, and I have no complaints about what happened that day

Part 2: Describe a person who has apologized to you

You should say:

Sample Answer

You know, when mentioned about this question, a person immediately came into my mind, and he’s my roommate in university, whose name is David We are best friends; I can even say that we share weal and woe just like brothers But there’s one thing that I would never forget That is he once played a trick on me and of course he made an apology to me finally

That has happened on April Fools’ Day To be frank, I didn’t realize that it was April Fools’ Day at that time, so I had no defense When David handed me a bag of multicolored sandwich biscuits and said: “hey! There are some here.” I took one out and bit into it without thinking I swore that I would never forget that terrible taste It felt like some toothpaste! I felt sick and spat it out while David burst into laughing

However, he at once apologized to me and explained that it was April Fools’ Day, and he just wanted to make a joke You know, we are good friends and had no reason to stay angry with him, so I forgave him Of course, I curiously asked him what he had put into the biscuits; he told me that is toothpaste, toothpaste with all kinds of colors His words made both of us can’t stop laughing

I still remember this small joke now, because it always reminds me of the freedom days in university and the cherish friendship between David and me

Three years ago, I stayed in the library till late night to prepare for final exam While I was studying, I heard heavy rain sound The rain seemed to be stronger, so I packed my things up to back home Before I left the library, I spotted a blind standing

in front of the library entrance I found out that she didn’t have an umbrella I asked her why are you standing here, and she said she is waiting till the rain is stopped It was already late night so there was no one who could give her a helping hand beside

me Thus, I asked her address on the purpose of seeing her home I shared my umbrella with her by her destination Although It was about half an hour far from the library by walking and my all clothes and shoes got wet through, I felt good when she said “thanks” with her beautiful smile Meanwhile, however, I feel a bit uncomfortable about it as she might not be happy with my kind if she thought that I pity her At the time I helped her, I should have considered and been careful about her feeling more I thought to give a hand to others is not that easy on the way home
