Speaking Part 1: Interview
Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 1: Interview”Topic — Marriage
Phần tiêu đề “Topic — Marriage”1. What do you think about marriage?
I think marriage is one of the most important events in a person’s life. When two people love each other, they want to build a family together. Marriage helps people have a stable life and someone to share happiness and difficulties with.
2. What age is good to get married?
In my opinion, people should get married after 25 years old. At that age, they usually have a stable job and enough life experience. If people get married too young, they may not be mature enough to handle problems in married life.
3. What kind of clothes do people wear at weddings?
In Vietnam, the bride and groom usually wear áo dài at the engagement ceremony. At the wedding party, the bride often wears a white wedding dress and the groom wears a suit. Guests usually wear formal clothes like dresses or shirts.
4. What presents do people bring to weddings?
In Vietnam, most guests give red envelopes with money inside. The money helps the new couple start their life together. Besides, some close friends also give gifts like home appliances or decorations for the new house.
Speaking Part 2: Discussion
Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 2: Discussion”Students use mobile phones during lessons. As a teacher, what would you do: ask them to pay a fine, make them stand in the corner for 1 hour, or keep their phones until the end of the semester?
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”I would choose to keep their phones until the end of the semester. I think this is the most effective way to solve the problem.
The first reason is that students will learn a serious lesson. When they lose their phones for a long time, they will understand that using phones in class has consequences. They will not repeat this mistake again.
The second reason is that without phones, students can focus on studying during class time. They will not be distracted by social media or games. As a result, their academic performance will improve.
I would not choose asking them to pay a fine because most students don’t have their own income. It is unfair to ask them for money. As for making them stand in the corner, this is too harsh and humiliating. It can hurt their self-esteem in front of their classmates.
In short, keeping phones until the end of the semester is the best punishment because it is effective and fair.

Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Today, I would like to talk about the advantages of learning how to ride a bicycle. I think riding a bicycle is a very useful skill and it brings many benefits.
Firstly, riding a bicycle is good for health. It is a type of exercise that helps people stay fit and lose weight. When you ride a bicycle every day, your heart and lungs become stronger. It is also good for reducing stress after a busy day at work or school.
Secondly, riding a bicycle helps people save money. You don’t need to buy gasoline or pay parking fees like when you use a motorbike or a car. Moreover, a bicycle is very cheap to maintain. You only need to check the tires and keep it clean.
Thirdly, riding a bicycle is good for the environment. Bicycles do not produce air pollution or noise pollution like cars and motorbikes. If more people ride bicycles, our cities will be cleaner and quieter.
In conclusion, learning to ride a bicycle is very important because it is good for our health, helps us save money, and protects the environment. I think everyone should learn this skill.
Writing Task 1: Formal Letter
Phần tiêu đề “Writing Task 1: Formal Letter”You received an email from an online shop asking about your negative comments. Write a reply: what products did you order, when did you order, what made you unhappy, and what they can do to solve it.
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in response to your email regarding my negative review on your website. I would like to explain the reasons for my complaint.
I ordered a pair of running shoes from your online store on March 10th, and the order number is #56789. The shoes were supposed to arrive within 3 days, but I only received them after 8 days, which was very late.
Moreover, when I opened the package, I was very disappointed. The shoes I received were a different color from what I ordered. I ordered white shoes, but I received grey ones. In addition, the right shoe had a small damage on the side, and the size was wrong. I ordered size 39, but the shoes were size 40.
I would like to request a full refund for this order. Alternatively, you can send me a replacement — the correct shoes in the right color and size. I would also appreciate it if you could improve your delivery service so that this problem does not happen again.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours faithfully, Tran Van Hung
Writing Task 2: Essay — Discuss both views
Phần tiêu đề “Writing Task 2: Essay — Discuss both views”Some people say universities should focus on soft skills, while others think technical knowledge is more important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Nowadays, there is a debate about what universities should focus on. Some people argue that soft skills are more important, while others believe that technical knowledge should be the priority. In this essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion.
On the one hand, technical knowledge is very important for students. It is the foundation for every career. For example, a doctor needs to learn about medicine, and an engineer needs to understand mathematics and physics. Without professional knowledge, students cannot do their jobs well after graduation. Therefore, many people think universities should focus on teaching technical skills.
On the other hand, soft skills are also essential in today’s world. Skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving are needed in every job. For instance, even a good engineer needs to know how to work in a team and present ideas clearly. Moreover, many employers today look for people who have both knowledge and soft skills. A person with good communication skills can build better relationships with colleagues and clients.
In my opinion, I believe that universities should teach both soft skills and technical knowledge. They are equally important and complement each other. Students who have both will be more competitive in the job market.
