1. Enviroment
Space environment is inhabited by humans and animals a place to
contain the necessary resources
to produce.Each life and the role of the utmost importance to human life is
not only do where survival , growth and development but also where labor
and leisure, enjoyment and enrichment of cultural beauty aesthetic…

In recent years Viet Nam has environmental degradation many parts of the
environment seriously contaminated by industrial waste, agricultural
emissions of vehicles in traffic and more important due to conscious human
For-profit production company Nicotex Thanh Thai pesticides buried

many things. Many people had to live in houses made of straw and mud, and
a few families had a radio or a TV set. Now the facilities of my village is
3


becoming better and better day by day. There are more and more high
buildings. There are many rich people. Many people have motorbikes even
cars. The lifestyle of my village changed. the work of the farmers is less hard
because they are helped a lot by machines. That means more food is
produced and less labour and less working hours are spent. They also have
more free time for entertainment.
Most of the villagers are famers. They are very hard-working. After their
harvest, they have extra jobs such as brick builders, welder, carpenters etc…
In Duyen Hy village there are many profesional brick-builders. They can
build many high buildings. People in my village are also very friendly and
helpful. They are willing to offer mutual help in any case and always get on
with one another harmoniously.
My village is rather small indeed but I am very proud of it because I was
born and have grown up there and spent my happiest childhood among the
simple and hard-working villagers who always feel attached to their native
land. And I promise myself that I will try my best to study well to make my
village more beautiful and richer in the future.
03. Environment
Environment is the most important thing. It’s the air we breath, the water we
drink and is everything we need for our life.
But now, that most important thing is being polluted by many different ways.
This pollution affects the health of living things.
The air is damaged by exhaust fume from cars and power station, which
destroys forests and lakes.
When fossil fuels: oil, gases and coal are burned to provide energy for

- Finally, now, we know that environment is the most important thing
and how to protect it. So please use those ways scientificially.
Recognizing the importance of the environment, Yen Dinh district is
changing day by day. They have done many things such as growing trees,
asking students to clean the streets on special occasions, putting many waste
baskets in the corner of the 45 street or making some speeches to show the
people how to keep their surroundings unpolluted. Especially, the people
have been planting many beautiful trees on the two ways to welcome the
Congress of the communist party of Vietnam.
At Quan Lao town secondary school, we always have intention of keeping
the environment clean. Each class has a duty on take care of some trees,
plants and their surrounding. We clean and water them every morning. On
afternoon Wednesday, all of us are very excited to take part in the useful
activities which make the environment unpolluted. In addition, we clean the
yard, the ceilings and the windows. We are really pleasant to see the result.
Now,our environment gets cleaner and cleaner, the trees are greener and
fresher.
And I hope there aren’t any polluted places in the world in the future.
Thanks for your listening!

04. FREETIME ACTIVITIES
As a student, I am quite busy on weekdays. However, at weekends, I have
much free time, so I usually spend it on relaxing to prepare for a coming busy
week.
First of all, in my free time, I like playing some sports, such as soccer,
badminton or basketball, with my friends. Sport not only makes me stronger
but also connects me with my friends who have the same hobbies. We
sometimes go riding in order that we can combine sporting activity and

and weight training is an important part of keeping your health.
Finally, friends are an important factor, which affects one’s health.
Studies have shown that people with a wide range of social contacts get fewer
colds and have fewer complaints than those who don’t. Laughing is also an
important part of health. I like laughing with my friends and I always fell
better when I am with them than when I am alone.
In conclusion, by eating properly and exercising regularly, I can kep
my body at an appropriate weight and can maintain my health . By spending
time with my friends I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. It is a
part of my recipe for healthful living.

06. Environmental-pollution
Goodmorning ladies and gentlmen. Let me introduce myself. My name is
Trinh Thi Hue Chi . I am from Yen Truong secondary school which has two
hundred and seventy students and twenty nine teachers . My favourite subject
is English . I think English is very interesting and useful in the future . In my
free time I often listen to English songs . Today I am very happy to stand here
to present a topic .“Environmental Pollution”
As you know, enviroment is the most important thing for our life.
Enviroment is the air we breath, the water we drink and is everything we
need for our life. But now that most important thing for our life is being
polluted and by many different ways. This pollution affects the health of
living things.
Air is the first neccessity because we can't breath without it but it is
damaged by car and lorry fumes, and power stations create acid rain which
destroys entire forests and lakes. When fossil fuels, oil, gas and coal are
burned to provide energy for lighting, cooking and so on …. they form
polluting gases. Not only on land but also in the sea, oils spills pollute sea
7


In sum we now know that enviroment is the most important thing for life
and we know how to protect and use it scientifically. Everyday we invent and
find more and more way to protect enviroment. I hope that in the future the
earth will be cleaner.

07. HEALTH AND MONEY
If you ask me health or wealth is more important, I will say without
hesitation that health is far more important and valuable than wealth. Let
consider, health is the necessary condition while wealth is the sufficient
condition. We need both of them in order to live happily . But as you can see,
the necessary condition is always more important.
Wealth can bring us a pleasant and comfortable life, but a certain fact we
can’t buy health with money. Today, there are still some deseases which have
no cure such as cancer, Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) …although
nations pouring money into research it haven’t yet find a cure.
Wealth doesn’t always make life more healthily and happily. Rich people
are taken effect by money pressuse, it makes their life uncomfortable when
they always have to think about money and how to make money. Nowadays,
a rapid growth of competition in the market in the world makes people be
fighting to keep their jobs as well as their bread and butter issue and forget
how important their health is in a stressful environment. They don’t care
about themselves because they think money can keep them healthy. This is
completely erroneous, many people earn money like mad until they have
stress, and waste money on treatment. They have forgotten that after they die,
they
will
leave

Firstly, It’s time consuming, Some students spend most of their free time
playing videogames. They have no time to take part in outdoor activities,
to communicate with others, Of course, they have no time to learn, to revise
their lessons, so they learn worse and worse than their friends, their results
are getting worse.
Secondly, It’s health collapse. They have to suffer from headache,
backache, dizzy or short sighted because they sit in front of the computers,
cellphones…from a short distance for a long time, they have no time to be
closed to the nature. More dangerously, some of us play unhealthy games.
Finally, It’s expensive. One hour playing games spends about four or
five thousand dong, some giddy students play hour by hour, day by day, even
they play truant to play games. while they are students, they have no money
to play. Besides, some games are too violent and they make their characters
bad. This lead to they become robbers, they steal others’ things such as
books, calculators, bicycles, more dangerously, some killed their relatives in
order to get money to play video games.
From these effects, for me I just spend thirty minutes a week playing
games and I only play games to relax. I hope you are the same to me. Let’s
play video games to relax.
The Government should pass regulation: not for people under the age
of 18 play video games during office hours.
Families and schools should educate children about the danger of video
games from early age. More importantly, help students, especially who are
addicts toward outdoor activities, happy and healthy life.
10


09. THE MID- AUTUMN FESTIVAL
There are many festivals in a year in Viet Nam .Today I want to talk about
one of them.It's the mid-autumn festival

for video games.
11


Secondly, Video games are harmful to our health, too.We will become
tired or dizzy when we play video games for a long time. Our eyes will be
influenced. Scientists said “Video games aren’t good for children. They are
harmful to us. Children should take part in outdoor activities or programs of
school instead of playing video games”.
For the above reasons, we shouldn’t play video games for a long times
because they are very harmful and dangerous to our life
11. deforestation.
As we know, forests cover approximately one fifth of the worlds land
surface and play an important role in our everyday lives. They are one of the
most necessary natural resources that have been gifted to mankind. They not
only have major role in enhancing the quality of our environment but also
influence local and global climate. Forests are also our nation’s wealth.
Can you picture our earth without forests, we can , t, but the problem is
that “deforestation”. It is a major concern in today’s society.
Each year, millions of woodlands are destroyed, the varied species of
animals and insects from the forests are extinct. Morever, the uncontrolable
wildfires fueled by weather, wind and dry underwood not only consume our
beautiful forests but also the wildlife, our homes and the lives of those who
fight the wildfires.
Deforestation is causing many social, economic and ecological
problems. One ecological problem is global warming that changes the climate
of the whole world. With deforestation we are basically cutting our own
lungs. We take away an ecosystem that produces major oxygen and filter our
carbon dioxide, destroying forests products influences nation, s wealth, too.
Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, wood

more and more green.
12. The importance of learning English
In my opinion, today English is one of the most important languages in
the world. English language is a common language and is spoken in many
countries. It can even be said to be the most important language. Learning
English is very important because it helps us communicate in foreign
countries, widens our kowledge and improves our chance of getting a good
job
Well, firstly, English language is the international language meaning
over 60% of the world,s population are speaking in English. This means that
we can communicate well if we do know how to speak the language. It will
help you gain friends not just locally but also it will open some doors for you
to venture on the other countries and spend either vacation or for studying
purposes. You can imagine when a person tralves to another part of the world
either because of busseness or even as a tourist without knowing English, it
is very difficult for him to understand. In these condition, English is the
13


language that helps people to deal with the situation. It is like a popular
language.
Secondly, learning English widens people,knowledge. The instructions
given in some appliances, equipments, and food labels were written mostly in
English. It will be important that you understand what was written on the
instructions so that no harm or accidents will happen. Besides all these, there
are many interesting and good programs written, produced by American or
British companies. If we are good at English we can collect and watch
television,s best programs we want. Knowing English will also enable you to
enjoy some of the world,s most beautiful works written in English.
Finally, students at school not only it is simply one of their subjects but

are more comfortable. Supermarkets, markets and shops are found
everywhere and we can buy anything we need providing that we can afford it.
- Urban life provides us with all kinds of entertainments: movies,
theatres, concerts and famous recreation centers.
- Living in the city, we can improve our knowledge easily by attending
any schools, universities or evening classes where experienced teachers and
professors are ready to satisfy our thirst for knowledge.
Besides its advantages, urban life also has its disadvantages:
- Our health is in danger: pollution by factories and heavy traffic may
cause serious diseases to all of us.
- Violent deaths happen regularly in such a crowded city with all kinds
of vehicles.
On the contrary, rural life seems ideal to all of us, especially to the
old.
- We can enjoy fresh, cool air and beautiful landscapes in the country.
- How safe and delighted we are when we can sleep soundly at any
time of the day without being disturbed by horns of cars or by deafening
noises from factories.
- Our social lives in the country are easier: we can eat the food and
vegetables we grow, the chickens we raise. The countrymen lead a very
simple life and they are ready to help one another in any case.
Apart from these advantages, living in the country we may meet a
lot of difficulties too.
- Our knowledge is limited by being short of mass media.
- Our social and physical lives are not as comfortable as those in the
city.

As you know: There are various types of games played in schools.
Some games are meant for boys and others for girls.Football (soccer),hockey
and rugby are popular games among boys while netball, basketball and
badminton are girls’favorite games.
Playing games gives plenty exercise for all the muscles of our body .
They make strong the lungs and make a child healthy . The physical talent of
a child develops if she or he plays games or participate in cross- country race
or gymnastic activities .
Games also give the best opportunity for boys and girls to learn cooperation and the habit of obeying rules . They may learn the team spirit
instead of self –interest. It enables students to become good citizens. A game
like football is played by a team of eleven players and each one has to follow
the rules of the game. In this way all the players show co-operation in a team
to win the games.
In our school various games are organised by our sports teacher for
boys and girls . Every evening games are played after classes. Our school
has a large playground for football , basketball , and netball games . There is
an indoor badminton court as well for both boys and girls .
Every student should involve in one or the other game for physical,
mental and moral development.

16. We should live in the countryside
I think living in the coutryside is something that people from the city often
dream about. Because there are certainly many advantages to living in the
countryside.
First of all, in the countryside, life is quiet, peaceful, relaxing and especially
very safe.
You don’t have to face the traffic jams, the pressure of work or all the tricks

are hidden enemies of our health: drinking and smoking lead to many
dangerous diseases such as lung cancer, throat cancer, mouth cancer….and
cause million of deaths yearly while staying up late is the reason of
sleeplessness and stress. That is also the reason why we should never smoke
or drink and go to bed after 10.30 pm. Certainly, avoiding those unhealthy
habits is a key to keep us healthier.
Beside that, we should see the doctor for taking the medical
examinations twice a year to make sure that our health is good. Most people
have a bad habit that they only have a medical check-up when they sick.
However, some health problems or diseases can not be seen until they
become serious. There is a saying goes: “ An apple a day keeps the doctor
18


away”. Therefore, taking the medical examination regularly helps us realize
and prevent dangerous diseases before they become worse.
And the last advice for good health is friends. This seems not to be
related to people’s health, do you think that? We know that friends play an
important role in our life. They also are important part of our health. Friends
often bring happiness and help us deal with stress. A lot of studies have
shown that emotional health is related to physical health. Spending time with
friends helps keep us emotionally healthy.
On the whole, it is not hard to figure out how to get a good health but it
is more difficult to do that. Thinking about a healthy diet, avoiding drinking
or smoking is very easy; however we all know that doing those is extremely
difficult. We need one more thing than those tips to get good health.
Unquestionably, it is our determination.
18. What can we do to protect our enviroment?

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. My name’s Thanh and I’m from

Use less energy by switching off lights when rooms
are not in use, not wasting water; don’t forget to switch off all electric things
when they are not in use, use a bicycle or walk instead of using a car for short
trips we can save energy, keep clean atmosphere and keep healthy life.
Lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the electricity bill.
However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt light
bulb with an energy-saving bulb and we still trying to invent the new thing to
save money as well as conserve the Earth’s resources.
Keeping the environment clean isn’t enough, we have to protect natural
resources. That is the way to conserve wild life. First we need to conserve the
old forests, rainforests, and plant more forests to make place for wild animals
to live . Secondly, we need to prohibit hunters who hunt animals too many
out of the law allowance.
Finally, we now know that enviroment is the most important thing for
life and we know how to protect and use it scientifically. Everyday we invent
and find more and more way to protect enviroment.
I hope that in the future the earth will be cleaner.
Thank you for your listening.

19. STUDENTS WITH VIDEO GAMES
Good morning ladies, gentlemen, gentle teachers and all the students in the
competition today!
The first words I’d like to convey to you wishes for health, happiness, sucess
and good contest success.
My fullname’s Lu Huyen Tram. I am in grade 9 and I am from Yen Trung
secondary school.

Today I’d like to tell you about “students with video games”.

natural disasters such as: Flood, typhoon, vocano, storm, earthquake,
whirlwind, sand-storm …
21


- These disasters happen almost every year in everywhere on the
earth. The effect of natural disasters is very serious.
- Natural disasters destroy the constructions that have value of both
culture and mental for example the garden of stone.
- Natural disasters destroy harvests in the countryside, this leads to
the lack of food, increasing the price of goods, affecting on tourism,
industry, agriculture in many countries.
- We knew in Japan in 2011 the earthquake and big wave destroyed
Sandai city and some provines in Japan. The thousands of people
died and the thounsands of people didn’t find out, the damage after
the earthquake and big wave were so big for Japanese. It costed the
billions of dolar. When we saw these disasters on TV, I thinh that
everybody cried and love Japanese. And may be it takes a long time
and costs much money to rebuild the houses, buildings, stadiums …
- I hope that we will not meet these damages and we avoid natural
disasters in the future and we will have a wonderfull life.
21.the famous places in Viet Nam.
As we know, there are many famous places from north to south in Viet
Nam.
First of all, I/d like to talk about Ha Long Bay.
Ha Long Bay is situated in north Vietnam round a 120- kilometer long coast
line and is literally translated as “Bay of Descending Dragons”. And It is
recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The top tourist attraction
in Vietnam, Ha Long Bay features thousands of islands, each topped with
thick jungle vegetation, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars.

Literature, Hoan Kiem lake and many beautiful parks and zoos … and Hanoi
people in particular and Vietnamese people in general are very friendly and
hospitable.
Have you ever been to these places? If not. Visit them as soon
as possible.
22. Which places would you prefer to live city or country life?
As you know the question “ Which places would you prefer to live city or
country? ” Is it difficult to answer? Do you agree with me? . Oh, yes. I was
born and grew up in the country so I know my home village very clearly.
There are many benefits such as life is simple, quiet people are friendly,
hospitable, they are willing to help each other. Anymore the air is clean and
peaceful. The food and vegetable is fresh even cheaper. Although there are a
lot of benefits in the country I prefer living in the city to living in the country
because of some reasons.
The first reason.
I am certain that living in city is better .It is a place where many buildings,
factories, companies, offices have been built. It is a good chance for many
people to get different kind of jobs and can make better choices for their own
future. I belived that well- paying jobs are plentiful in the city you can earn
money easily.More over there are many different services .for example
beautiful salons, good hospitals, good universities, supermarkets and
23


bookstores On the other hand in the country life is always a struggle with
nature. Typhoons, floods or droughts can easily destroy a harvest and leaves
the farm with little or no money untill the following year.
The second reason.
City life is more exciting than country life. There are many chance to attend
cultural events to entertain. After a hard working and learning week. It is a



feeling of warmth, happiness will come around. A moment in time, nobody
wants to leave. Da Lat is also known as the city of Eternal Spring.
The second viewpoint is about landscapes. There are lots of nice views in
Da Lat and all of them are symbols or special places of it; for example: Xuan
Huong Lake, Love Valley, Than Tho Lake, Cam Ly Waterfall and so on.
Thinking that if people arrive in Da Lat, they don’t forget to see. Another
attraction of it is the wonderful scenery. There are many beautiful gardens
and lovely French colonial architecture here. Walking along the streets in the
shade of tall pine trees, visitors can see beautiful flowers. In addition, tourists
to Da Lat also have opportunity to broaden their knowledge about ethnic
minorities. Each tribe has different languages, customs which promotes the
diversity of cultures.
The other factor to mention is delicious fresh food in Da Lat. Thanks to
nature born specialties vegetable and fruit products. Especially salad mixed
with fresh vegetables. This makes Da lat foods more different from others. If
you are looking for a good food, don’t forget to eat street food which made
tasteful such as sweet potato, strawberry jam...
Finally, I would like to mention people and traffic in Da Lat. People
are very friendly and truthful. I stayed there two days and recognized a lot.
People living here are mainly tribal people who work hard to earn living and
always optimistic about their life. Although I met them at first time, I got a
friendly smile. Going along streets, I didn’t see traffic lights or the police
anywhere but there was no accident. This can’t have in my province.
III. Closing:
In conclusion, Da Lat is a wonderful place for everyone to go for their
holiday.
