Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 1: Interview”Topic — Animals / Pets
Phần tiêu đề “Topic — Animals / Pets”1. Do you keep a pet?
Yes, I keep a dog at home. His name is Milo and he is a small brown dog. I got him two years ago, and he has become a part of my family. I love playing with him every evening after school.
2. What is your favorite animal?
My favorite animal is the dog because dogs are very loyal and friendly. They always welcome you when you come home and they never leave you. Moreover, dogs are very smart and you can teach them many tricks.
3. Do you like watching animals in the zoo?
Yes, I enjoy going to the zoo. I like watching elephants, monkeys, and pandas because they are very cute and interesting. However, sometimes I feel a little sad because the animals don’t have much space to move. I think animals should live in their natural environment.
4. Is it important for children to know about animals?

I think people have pets for many reasons. Firstly, pets help people reduce stress and feel less lonely. After a long day at work, playing with a pet makes you feel relaxed. Secondly, some people, especially old people, need a companion. A pet is like a best friend who is always there for them.
Speaking Part 2: Discussion
Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 2: Discussion”You are 35 years old. If you could choose your job again, would you choose your current job or another job? Why?
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”If I could choose again, I would still choose my current job. I am a teacher, and I think it is the best job for me.
The first reason is that my job matches my interests and skills. I have always loved helping people learn new things. When I see my students improve and succeed, I feel very proud and happy. This feeling is priceless.
The second reason is that I have already gained a lot of experience in this field. After many years of working, I have built good relationships with my colleagues and students. If I started a new career, I would have to learn everything from the beginning again, which would be very difficult and stressful.
I would not choose another job because changing careers at 35 is very risky. I would lose my stable income and have to spend a lot of time and money on training. Besides, there is no guarantee that I would enjoy the new job.
In short, I would keep my current job because it matches my passion and I have valuable experience in it.

Writing Task 2: Essay — Benefits and Drawbacks
Phần tiêu đề “Writing Task 2: Essay — Benefits and Drawbacks”Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of studying abroad.
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Nowadays, many young people dream of studying abroad. While studying in another country brings many benefits, it also has some drawbacks. In this essay, I will discuss both sides of this topic.
On the one hand, studying abroad has many benefits. Firstly, students can become more independent. They have to cook, clean, and manage their money by themselves. This helps them grow up quickly. Secondly, students can have new experiences and learn about different cultures. They can make friends from many countries and broaden their horizons. Finally, studying abroad gives students access to high-quality education at prestigious universities, which can help them get better jobs in the future.
On the other hand, there are also some drawbacks. Firstly, studying abroad is very expensive. Students have to pay high tuition fees and living costs, which is a big financial burden for their families. Secondly, many students suffer from homesickness because they are far away from their loved ones. This can make them feel lonely and sad. Finally, students may face language barriers, making it hard to understand lectures and communicate with local people.
In conclusion, studying abroad has both advantages and disadvantages. I think students should prepare carefully before going abroad so that they can enjoy the benefits and overcome the challenges.
