Topic 1: I’ve just seen a brilliant programe about dolphins on television. Which programes have you
enjoyed recently? How much televison do you watch?
Dear John
I’m very happy when I received your letter. I know you’ve just seen a brilliant programne about dolphins on
television. I’m writing this letter to tell you about programes i have enjoyed recently.
Among many programs and channels available on TV these days such as the current news programs, sport
programs, entertaining programs, educational programs and movie programs, etc., I like the program “the
World of Animals” most. This program is usually shown on DISCOVERY CHANNEL every day at 9
o’clock in the evening on CHANNEL 40 if you have payment television povided by VTV Cab. It’s also
available on satellite digital televison like K+. It often lasts about 45 minutes. In this program, stories of the
life of many animals in the world are told in a very lively way. For example, people can watch films about
monkeys, snakes, tigers, insects, birds, sea turtles, sharks,the world under water and even the penguins and
the polar bears in the far North & Sound Poles etc. It’s really interesting and fascinating. I absolutely
admire the filmmakers, cameramen and their co-workers about what they did to bring us lively , dangerous
and spectacular scenes of wildlife. Sometimes, I have to utter : “ Oh My God “ , “ How coud they film that ?
“ It’s unbelieveble when they filmed a hungry big white shark chasing prey or a King cobra snake – the
world's longest venomous snake opening his mount to bit and spray venom to cameraman. That’s trully
dangerous situation. I think Vietnamese filmmakers can’t ever do the same thing as they do. While watching
these films, I find the everyday life activities and habits of these animals very interesting and full mysteries.
In addition, I also learn that it is very important to protect these animals and their living environments
because they are part of our valuable natural world. Watching this program makes me very well informed
and relaxed after a day of work. I don’t spend much time watching tv every day . I just want to watch
Discovery Channel and News to get information about life, economic, politics…etc. Another time I spend
surfing web, reading books or going out with my friends. It’s much better than spend a lot of time watching
Tv.
That’s all for now. I hope to see you soon
See you
such an important role in helping us laugh. There are many forms of films out there today. In spite of the
recent incline in action and horror films today, comedy films has always been my number one
choice because it gives people an opportunity to look at humor in life, it usually has a pointless, useless
moral that we can relate to, and it allows you to look at things in a new light and possibly expand your
horizon to become a more optimistic person. All comedies always have one essential ingredient to make it a
great comedy, humor. All comedies give people an opportunity to look at humor in life and laugh at it.
Comedies usually show a hilarious scene for people to enjoy and laugh at. Many scenes which has a outburst
of crazy and ridiculous moments will not usually happen in our daily life, but its fun to enjoy. I often watch
comedies when I get upset, have streess because, laughing help me relax và bring balance back to me. My
favourite actors and actress are Xuan Hinh, Hoai Linh Cam Van, Van Dung …etc. I can’t help laughing
when I watch their commedies or hilarious sitcoms . It’s really fun and very helpful to relieve stress. That’s
the reason why I love waching comedy films.
That’s all for now. I hope to see you soon
See you.

Topic 4: You went to a party last weekend, didn’t you? Did you have a good time there? Tell me
about that party?
Dear john.
I’m very happy when I received your letter. I’m writing this letter to tell you about the party I went last
week. That was my best friend birthday party.
Huong is my close friend. She turned 25 recently and her parents held a birthday party for her. I was one of
those invited. The party began at about three in the afternoon. There were about twenty guests gathered in
her house. We were all dressed in our best clothes. Everyone, especially Huong was very happy. We gave
our presents to her and she happily opened them. It must really be exciting to receive all those presents.
After that her mother served us soft drinks and delicious titbits. We then played some games like "Musical
Chairs" and "Treasure Hunt". The winners were given prizes. At about four-thirty her father brought out the
birthday cake. It was beautifully decorated with pink and white icream. 25 colorful candles sat in the middle
of the cake. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Huong after which she blew out the candles and cut the cake.
Everyone clapped out hands eagerly. We helped ourselves to slices of the delicious cake. Then we continued
our games.

Dear John
I’m very happy when I received your letter. If you want to have good health, you should follow these pieces
of advice:
First, you should eat healthy food: lots of fruits, vegetable, fish and drink enough water everydat to stay
healthy. The Japanese eat a lot of fish so thay live very long. You should eat less meat and fat food because
thay may cause heart diseases and increase the cholesterol level in your blood. Fruits and vegetables no only
bring you lots of vitamins and minerals but also help you have a better immune system.
Second, you should exercise everyday by choosing a suitable sport such as jogging, tennis, swimming,
yoga… They not only make you strong but help you relax as well. So, it helps you keep fit and stay healthy.
If you don’t have much time, you just need to do moring exercises regularly.
Finally, you need to have regular health check – up. If you have some problems with your health, you should
go to the doctor immediately before it gets more serious. You should visit the doctor regularly in order to
find out any diseases you may have, so that you have a better chance to get rid of it.
In short, if you take this advice, you will have a good health. That’s all for now.

FACEBOOK : It seems everyone loves Facebook. Everywhere you go, you can see people logged in,
updating their status. Whether they are at home, work or in the passenger seat of a vehicle on their way to
school, people of all ages are signing in to the most popular social network, Facebook. One reason,
Facebook is so popular is that there is a huge amount of Facebook members. Sharing pictures, videos, and
interests are some of the features many people enjoy on Facebook. Being able to connect with friends and
family anytime, from anywhere is another. Making connections with friends from the past is something else
that Facebook makes possible. Facebook has tons of applications and games available on the site also.
Playing games with Facebook friends is a great way to spend leisure time. People that have a lot of time, for
that sort of thing, really get into it. It is, as if, they are in their own little virtual world. Playing a game alone,
against the computer is something no one has to do any more. CLASS
