in drawing contests and telling stories Those helped us review our lessons and cultivate our minds )evertheless, we were often very stressful because we had to study fifteen subjects each y
had to take so many
had to take so many tests that we didn&t have mtests that we didn&t have much uch time to play sports with time to play sports with our friends and to doour friends and to do anything we liked %t was so boring that we sometimes fell asleep in our class, our teachers exp
explailained all the lessoned all the lessons for us and we ns for us and we had had to writto write e ververy fast and learny fast and learned by heart all them.ed by heart all them 'lthough there were many things we weren&t clear on, we asked our teachers only after our class finished because each period had forty five minutes, it wasn&t enough for us to discuss while study
studying ur teachering ur teachers were nice, but most of our friends were unfries were nice, but most of our friends were unfriendly and ndly and they were oftenthey were often dishonest while doing tests because they weren&t wellprepared before )ow % am studying at an 8ang 9niversity %t is rather well e*uipped %ts campus is very wide There are over ninety classes with many students and instruct
with many students and instructors The library is ors The library is larglarge e and it and it has many kinds of has many kinds of bookbooks, cassettess, cassettes and networked computers, so we can get information for our studies easily because we usually study by ourselves (e usually have presentations %t is useful that we can remember all the lessons clearly because we have to read a lot of books and prepare carefully in order that our presentations will be good enough and attract our classmates 7esides, we will feel more and more selfconfident whenever we appear in front of many people, we also have a unified spirit when we study in group Most of the members in my class are very nice, friendly and active (e always help our classmates when they have problems or give them advice when they make mistakes so that we will become better
better and and better There better There is is an an +nglish /peaking +nglish /peaking Club Club which which was was organi"ed organi"ed twice twice a a month month so so as as toto improve our speaking skill and communication skill, we have many friends when taking part in this club, they are friendly and sociable %n addition, there are some foreigner teachers at my university,
we can ask them about many things which we aren&t clear, they are willing to help us, it is also a good condition for us to practice speaking +nglish and to improve our knowledge (hen being at high school, we had a flag greeting ceremony every Monday /chool managing board summed up all the activities of the previous week, gave their ideas and promoted new plans for that week %t was very good, but now we don&t have that period 7esides, we study less subjects than we did at high school, so we can relax by playing sports and participating in many activities after hard studying days There are much more students and teachers than my high school, the library is larger and the campus is wider %n addition, % didn&t have good conditions to practice speaking +nglish at high school because many students disliked it and felt shy when speaking, there were no also foreigner teachers and +nglish /peaking Club /eldom did we study in group because we didn&t have presentations at high school )ow studying in group is very necessary because if we don&t, we can&t have a good group presentation The biggest difference between university and high school is the method of teaching and studying, so we felt strange at the beginning of this school year However, we have got ac*uainted with all the differences up until now %n my opinion, studying at university is more interesting than studying at high school %t has a lot of good conditions for us to study, to relax and to develop our skills %t is very bad for our health if we only study without relaxing and we will feel very sad if we have just a few friends There are a lot of good chances, so
we should make use of them to study better and better in order that our country will become an industriali"ed nation
Trang 712. Some people belie!e that uni!ersity students should be re;uired to attend classes Others belie!e that ,oin, to
ith( :se specific reasons and e0amples to support your anser.
)ormally
)ormally, a , a university obliges its university obliges its students to attend students to attend most of the most of the classes and attendances classes and attendances are used are used toto determine the eligibility to do the final examinations % oppose this regulation as attending classes is not the best way of learning for everyone as well as every subjects: moreover, some classes are simply unnecessary to attend
Most importantly, each student has a way of ac*uiring knowledge with he?she feels most satisfied and effective
and effective -or instance-or instance, , some studentsome students prefer s prefer listenlistening to ing to teacherteachers& lectus& lecture re then taking notes then taking notes atat classes while others find learning easier when reading books and practising exercises at home Therefore, re*uiring attendances in classes is good for students who love that way of stydying but unfair for the others
unfair for the others who prefer selfstudy but are who prefer selfstudy but are not given the right environment to not given the right environment to studystudy
/imilarly, whether attending classes is effective or not depends on particular subject due to the fact that each of the subjects has different range of knowledge as well as methods of approach -or example, mathematics can be studied by practising at home because as far as % am concerned, most mathematics books have clear explanations Meanwhile, foreign language is among those re*uiring
a lot of communication and interaction: therefore, attending classes is crucial in this case
-urthermore, some of the classes are not interesting or useful enough to encourage the students to participate in The reason for the situations may be that the students already know or are
about the content of the classes %n addition, there is always a case that the professor is not capable enough to convey useful knowledge to his?her students or to inspire the interest of the students %f the students go to class then do private things or fall asleep there, they cannot benefit from the lesson and also spoil the enthusiasism of the professor should he?she come across what their students are doing
%n conclusion, attending classes is not always the most effective and appropriate way of studying for every people and every subjects and sometimes it creates nothing than boredom of the students Thus, universities should give their students an opportunity to choose whether to attend classes or not

14 Should students ,et part time -obs(
%n foreign countries, it is very common when students get part time jobs %t is a program at school and students have to get jobs However, it&s different in ietnam /tudents just focus on studying
!ersonally, getting a part time job is good for student ' part time job can bring students many advantages@ get experience, be responsibility and be more confident
The first advantage of doing a part time job is getting experience /tudent has a chance to learn new things and practice %t is like you learn from life 'nd you can learn the things that you cannot learn from the teachers at school /tudents also have chance to practice things that they had studied at school -or example, a student who works at a restaurant can learn many life lessons He can learn how to persuade the customers and be more confident He can learn how to handle situations 'nd those are things that you can get from school
The second advantage is being responsibility -or some students, they just have to study, study They do nothing except studying and playing % do not think it is good %f you want to buy a present for your best friend on her birthday, what will you do 'sking for money from your parents is not a good idea 5ou should think that you are not a kid anymore 'nd you have to be responsible to the things that you do (o
things that you do (orking is a great rking is a great way to show your parents that way to show your parents that you grow up now 7esidyou grow up now 7esides that,es that, you can also know the worth of money 5ou have to work hard to earn money and won&t waste it like you did before
'nd my last point of view is getting part time jobs can help students to be more confident % do not say that all students who do not have a job are not confident 7ut getting a part time job means you create yourself a chance to be more confident 5ou can meet many people when working and can expand your relationship ' sale person can learn how to persuade and attract the customers day by day and you will be more confident after graduating because you have a period time to practice while your friends just spend time
(o
(orking while rking while studystudying ing can can bring many bring many advanadvantages Howevertages However, , studestudents nts have to have to balanbalance ce betweebetweenn studying and studying /tudents should not forget the
you learn at school is very important %t is the basement knowledge in life while working creates an environment for practicing 'nd % do think that students who had done part time jobs has more opportunities to get jobs than students who had not

Traffic problem is one of the serious problems that HCM city has to cope with day by day Traffic congestion causes irritated feelings for people, takes people time and slows down development of economy -or me, in order to solve this problem, HCM city needs some possible solutions as follows -irst of all, the city government has to invest more money in widening and upgrading the road system to provide extensive paths for all kinds of vehicles on the street 's a result, all means
of transport can move smoothly on rush hours and traffic jams will be certainly reduced /econdly, the city government needs to have many effective ways to encourage people to use public transport more and use their private vehicles less This can be done by providing new and modern buses with airc
