You have 2 minutes to deliver a speech of the topic given You are expected to include three parts

of a speech, namely Introduction, Development and Conclusion with the use of some linking

words.

1/ “There are a lot of complaints about restaurants in Vietnam”

Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view

There is a comment that “There are a lot of complaints about restaurants in Viet Nam” I agree with thiscomment

In recent years, the restaurant business in Vietnam has grown in both scale and quality However, thereare still many complaints about the restaurant

The first thing to mention is the complaints about the unprofessional service style For example:Restaurants let customers wait too long, waiters don't care about customer needs, waiters bring wrongdishes, customers come first but are served later

The second is complaints about food quality, food hygiene and safety issues, for example: guests seeworms or hair in the dish

The third is the complaints about the restaurant's infrastructure or the noise caused by other guests

In general, restaurants in Vietnam have many aspects that have not satisfied the majority of customers,but it is undeniable that they have tried very hard and customer services are increasingly focused andserved better In particular, it is not possible to generalize all of the restaurants with complaints becausethere are still many restaurants that serve very well and receive compliments from customers

After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:

1 Which are most popular in your country: fast food restaurants or traditional ones?

In Vietnam, the most popular traditional restaurant.

2 Some people say that food in an expensive restaurant is always better than that in a cheap one – would you agree?

I don't think expensive restaurant food is always better than cheap restaurant food Because of:

Delicious food or not depends on the taste, preferences and feelings of the person enjoying it Of course, in an expensive restaurant, with high-quality ingredients, exquisite presentation of dishes, aesthetics, spacious and luxurious space to help diners feel more appetizing but not all the time

everywhere There are cheap restaurants with rustic dishes, idyllic spaces that give diners a delicious, familiar and unforgettable impression

Fourth, finding discounts for shoppers faster helps them save more and encourages them to buy moreproducts Technology has made it easier for retailers to show dedicated customers when items are onsale and when promotional codes are available to them

Fifth, Sales are faster with technology than they were years ago Today, consumers can make purchasesfrom a number of different stores without leaving their homes All items are shipped to customerlocations from all over the world For example, I am in Vietnam but can still order from China or anyother country with a sales website Consumers don't even have to be at home to shop, and smartphoneshave helped to complete transactions faster

Customers can shop from any location with a cellular signal and use any payment method they prefer.Most online payment systems accept everything from credit cards to e-wallet payments.

Finally, new technology-driven services even allow consumers to complete their grocery shoppingonline and never have to go inside a crowded store For example, I want to buy food, just order on theapp about 15 - 30 minutes later, someone will ship the food to me

2 Do you think online shopping will replace small shops in the future? Why? Bạn có nghĩ mua sắm trực tuyến sẽ thay thế các cửa hàng nhỏ trong tương lai? Tại sao?

2 What should be done to reduce educational problems in Vietnam?

Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểmcủa bạn

I agree with the point that “There are many problems with education in Vietnam” for some of the

following reasons:

Education plays a foremost role in the life of Vietnamese Not only is the dedication to learning one ofsociety's central values, but education is as well recognized as a chance of progression

First of all, Among all Vietnamese education problems, outmoded teaching systems are one of the

chief issues plaguing the Vietnamese instruction system Teachers frequently emphasize more ondiscipline in the schoolroom than on active interaction and discussions Censorship as well asinterference from the government are dominant and can make a stifling teaching atmosphere

Second, As declared above, the quality of teaching in the schoolrooms depends mainly on the

individual educator If you send your child to a Vietnamese institute, they will be likely to remainpassively studious and attentive

Third, The system of facilities and teaching equipment is still lacking and outdated This makes it

difficult for teachers and students to practice

Fourth, The income of officials, teachers and employees of the education sector is too low compared

to the job requirements they have to perform Therefore, they are not enthusiastic about the profession,they have to do many things to support themselves and their families besides serving the educationindustry This greatly affects the quality of their expertise

Fifth, education in Vietnam is massively trained, not balanced with the needs of the labor market.

The above are the main problems, in addition, the Vietnamese education system still has someshortcomings in terms of curriculum, teacher ethics, teaching methods

Sau khi kết thúc bài phát biểu của bạn, hãy trả lời các câu hỏi sau:

1 Hệ thống giáo dục truyền thống và hiện đại ở Việt Nam có gì khác nhau?

Traditional and modern education systems in Vietnam are quite different For example, the educationalprogram is reduced and more modern, the teaching content is updated, the teaching methods are moremodern, the system of facilities and teaching equipment is more complete and modern

2 Cần làm gì để giảm thiểu các vấn đề giáo dục ở Việt Nam?

Some measures that need to be taken to reduce education problems in Vietnam are:

- Increase salaries for officials, teachers, staff of the education sector,

- Renovate curricula and textbooks in the direction of reducing theoretical knowledge and increasingpractice

- Innovating teaching methods, focusing on training ways of learning, thinking and skills rather thanknowledge

- ect (/etˈset̬.ər.ə/- es xai đ ra)

5/ “There are many changes in housing in housing in your hometown”

Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view

After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:

1 Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why?

2 What should be done to promote a regional festival?

“Có nhiều thay đổi về nhà ở ở quê bạn”

Trình bày quan điểm của bạn với các lập luận rõ ràng và các ví dụ cụ thể, thực tế để hỗ trợ quan điểmcủa bạn

I agree with the point that “There are many changes in housing in housing in your hometown”

for some of the following reasons:

My hometown is developing very fast, life in the countryside is getting more and more prosperous andconvenient Accordingly, houses in the countryside also have many changes in design andarchitecture

Traditional houses in my hometown are mainly yin and yang tile roofs, including 3 compartments and 2wings, common living space, no private room Currently, houses in my hometown are usually built inmodern styles such as tube houses, renovated level four houses, and Thai roof houses Wealthy families

or small land built spacious houses Indoor spaces are often arranged according to functions such asliving room, kitchen, bedroom Each family member has their own room to ensure privacy

This change comes from many reasons such as improved living standards, people not only doingfarming anymore, shrinking residential land area, due to the impact of urbanization process

In short, the house in my hometown today is very different from the original traditional country house.Currently, most of them are new types of houses, meeting the process of modernization andurbanization It seems that this difference can be explained by climatic, economic and especiallychanges in lifestyle
