Speaking Part 1: Interview
Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 1: Interview”Topic — Films
Phần tiêu đề “Topic — Films”1. Do you like watching films?
Yes, I really enjoy watching films in my free time. I find them very entertaining and relaxing. I usually watch films on weekends after a long week of studying. Films help me forget about my stress for a while.
2. What kinds of movies do you like best?
I like comedy films the best because they make me laugh and feel happy. Moreover, I also enjoy action movies because they are exciting and full of surprises. My favourite comedy movie is “Mr. Bean” because it is very funny.
3. How often do you go to the cinema?
I go to the cinema about once a month, usually with my friends on weekends. We like to watch new movies together and then go out for dinner afterwards. However, I also watch films at home on my laptop when I don’t have time to go to the cinema.
Speaking Part 2: Discussion
Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 2: Discussion”You want to open a shop with your friend. Which type of shop do you prefer: a clothes shop, a coffee shop, or an internet shop?
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”I would choose to open a coffee shop. I think it is the best choice for a business with my friend.
The first reason is that there is a high demand for coffee in Vietnam. Young people love going to coffee shops to study, work, or meet friends. We would always have a lot of customers, so the business can be profitable.
The second reason is that a coffee shop is easy to manage. The menu is simple — just coffee, tea, and some drinks. We do not need many staff members, and the ingredients are not expensive. Therefore, it is a good business for beginners like us.
I would not choose a clothes shop because the fashion market is very competitive. There are too many clothes shops already, and we would have to follow fashion trends all the time. As for an internet shop, it is a declining trend because most people now have their own smartphones and wifi at home. Fewer people need to go to internet shops.
In short, a coffee shop is the best option because there is high demand and it is easy to start and manage.

Phần tiêu đề “Speaking Part 3: Topic Development (nói 2 phút)”Benefits of learning English.
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Today, I would like to talk about the benefits of learning English. I believe that English is very important in our modern life, and learning it brings many advantages.
Firstly, English helps us get better job opportunities. Many foreign companies in Vietnam require their employees to speak English. People who have good English skills often receive higher salaries and have more chances to get promoted. Therefore, learning English is very important for our career.
Secondly, English gives us access to knowledge. Most books, research papers, and online courses are written in English. If we know English, we can read and learn from the best sources in the world. We can also study abroad at famous universities in the US, the UK, or Australia.
Thirdly, English is an international language that helps us when travelling. When we travel to another country, we can use English to communicate with local people, ask for directions, and book hotels. This makes our trips much easier and more enjoyable.
In conclusion, learning English is very important for our career, our education, and our daily life. I think everyone should start learning English as early as possible to enjoy these benefits.
Writing Task 1: Informal Letter
Phần tiêu đề “Writing Task 1: Informal Letter”Your English friend is coming to your hometown for 2 weeks. Write a letter with advice about: accommodation, weather, and activities.
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Dear Emma,
I’m so excited to hear that you’re coming to my hometown! Let me give you some advice to help you prepare for your trip.
About accommodation, I recommend staying at a homestay in the city centre. It is cheaper than a hotel, and you can experience the local culture by living with a Vietnamese family. The area is also close to restaurants, markets, and tourist spots, so it is very convenient.
About the weather, it will be quite hot and humid during your visit. The temperature is usually around 30 to 35 degrees. You should bring light clothes, sunscreen, and a hat. Also, bring an umbrella because it sometimes rains in the afternoon.
About activities, there are many things to do here! You can visit famous places like the Old Quarter and some beautiful temples. You must try our street food, especially pho, banh mi, and bun cha — they are delicious and very cheap. I will take you to the best food places! We can also go to a night market in the evening.
I can’t wait to see you! If you have any questions, just let me know. See you soon!
Love, Ha
Writing Task 2: Essay — Discuss both views
Phần tiêu đề “Writing Task 2: Essay — Discuss both views”Some people prefer watching movies at home while others prefer going to the cinema. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Bài mẫu:
Phần tiêu đề “Bài mẫu:”Watching movies is one of the most popular forms of entertainment today. Some people prefer watching movies at home, while others enjoy going to the cinema. In this essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion.
On the one hand, watching movies at home has several advantages. Firstly, it is very convenient because people can watch at any time they want. They can also pause the movie when they need to do something. Secondly, watching at home is much cheaper because they do not have to buy cinema tickets or expensive snacks. Moreover, people can relax in a comfortable environment — they can lie on the sofa, eat their own food, and wear comfortable clothes.
On the other hand, going to the cinema also has its benefits. First, the cinema offers a better viewing experience with a big screen and surround sound. The picture quality is much better than a small laptop or TV. Second, going to the cinema is a great social activity. People can go with friends, family, or their partner and create happy memories together. Furthermore, cinemas show new movies first, so people can watch them before they are available online.
In my opinion, both options are good for different situations. I usually watch movies at home for convenience, but I go to the cinema when there is a special movie or when I want to spend time with my friends. I think people should choose the option that suits their needs and situation.
