The subject I enjoy learning
I learn many subjects in school But the one I enjoy learning is History History helps us know what people did and how they lived ages ago It also tells us how men had to manage to make their life better and better
Many learners; however, do not like to read History They say that there are too many names and dates to remember But they do not understand that if we know nothing about the past, we cannot have a good knowledge of the present For example, if we wish to know how men learnt to use fire or clothes, we have to know what men did in the past to travel at night or to keep themselves warm As we read the story, we are learning many interesting things

My favorite TV programs
As a secondary school student, I am very busy with my studies Although I love watching
TV, I can only spend an hour after dinner on my hobby Of all the TV programs, I like the News and documentary programs best
The News programs are shown on all TV channels at 7:00 p.m It helps me to know
almost everything about different places in our country and important events happening
all over the world Through these programs, I can also know about the main national and
international sporting events.
The documentary programs at weekends are my favorites By watching them, I can learn
a great deal about the wonders of nature and the amazing inventions and discoveries of great people in the world

Trang 3Free activities
Watching television is one of the activities I like to do in my free time I enjoy watching cartoons on Saturday mornings and sports programs on Sunday afternoons I also watch television during the week after I have finished all my school work At night, I especially like to watch movies If I have a lot of homework, I try to arrange my schedule so that I can watch my favorite shows My other favorite activities are making paper flowers and going shopping with my friends However, when I have free time, I spend more time watching television than any other activities Watching television can help me not only relax but also build me a huge knowledge of the open world.”
-Country life
Both city life and country life have advantages as well as disadvantages In the city, the houses are supplied with electricity and drinking - water People go from place to place very quickly by car, by bus, by taxi or by motorbike There are many places in the city where you can get a drink or food: restaurants, coffee-houses, tea-rooms, bars They can buy everything they need in supermarket or department store easily For entertainment, they can go theatres or many beautiful parks However, they have to suffer from air pollution and noise, which are very harmful to their health
I think, the city life is suitable for young people
-City life
Both city life and country life have advantages as well as disadvantages In the country, we can enjoy the fresh air and beautiful landscape I can see many trees and flowers everywhere Moreover, the air is fresh and cool, which is good for a healthy living They also can walk, which are good for their health However, the country is not comfortable in some points Transportation and entertainment are worse than the city
I think, old people should enjoy life in the countryside

The environmental problem and the solution
Nowadays, our environment is being seriously polluted, that is why we need to know the ways to protect the environment First of all, we should reduce, reuse and recycle Instead of using plastic bags which are hard to dissolve we can use banana leaves to wrap food By this way we can save much paper and reduce garbage It is a good idea to reuse and recycle bottles and cans so that we can save natural resources Furthermore, it would
Trang 4be better if we know how to prevent people from throwing trash Why don’t we put more garbage bins on streets and around schools to prevent lazy people from littering Last but not least, it is very important for us to protect the air How about using buses instead of motorbikes, which will help to reduce exhaust fume very much? In conclusion, we will protect our environment properly
-Sport I like best
I think everybody wants to have a good health Besides balanced diet, we need to play sport every day There are many sports, but my favorite sport is badminton I think it is very useful for me
Firstly, I can improve my health through playing it So I spend one hour playing it every afternoon It makes me feel energetic every day And I rarely get sick after playing badminton
Secondly, I can make many friends when I play badminton I often play it with many different kinds of people We can improve our skills with exercises
Finally, we have a chance to talk about interesting subjects when we have a break You choose this sport and play it every day I hope this sport will help you stay fit and healthy
-Experience of learning English
I think, Learning English is difficult, especially speaking and listening skill But English is useful for us We know English, we can talk to people from all over the world How do you learn English? For me, There are many different ways of learning English and I found out the best way for me
At school, I always listen to the teacher and copy new words, new structures carefully
I always practise speaking English with my friends in group
At home, I always try to learn by heart new words, write English as much as possible,
do all exercises in grammar books, learn to sing English songs
In order to remember new words better, we usually read stories in English, listen to English programs on the radio or watch English program on TV This helps us improve our listening and English pronunciation
