Topic 1. Advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city. (Những thuận lợi và
khó khăn của cuộc sống trong một thành phố lớn)
As we know, living in a big city is supplied move facilities than anywhere esle. However, there
are advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.
First, I think living in a big city dwellers are provided a lot of society services, such as health
care, education, good job and they have much chance to contac or work with foreigners,
residents can easily travel fast, thanks to good infrastructure. In addtion that, social services help
life be easy and comfortable.
On the other hand, people living in a big city have to suffer from many disadvantages : smoke
rising from factories and all kinds of vehicle on the streets makes environment polluted and
influence people's health. The noise all day and night makes their minds tense. Traffic jams
happen every day.
Như chúng ta biết, sống trong một thành phố lớn được cung cấp phương tiện di chuyển tốt hơn
so với bất cứ nơi nào khác. Tuy nhiên, có thuận lợi và khó khăn khi sinh sống tại một thành phố
lớn.
Trước tiên, tôi nghĩ rằng cư dân sống trong một thành phố lớn được cung cấp rất nhiều dịch
vụ xã hội, chẳng hạn như chăm sóc sức khỏe, giáo dục, công việc tốt và họ có nhiều cơ hội để
liên lạc hoặc làm việc với người nước ngoài, các cư dân có thể dễ dàng đi du lịch nhanh chóng,
nhờ vào cơ sở hạ tầng tốt. Bên cạnh đó, dịch vụ xã hội giúp cuộc sống dễ dàng và thoải mái.
Mặt khác, người dân sống ở thành phố lớn phải gánh chịu nhiều bất lợi : khói tăng từ các nhà
máy và các loại xe trên các đường phố làm cho môi trường ô nhiễm và ảnh hưởng tới sức khỏe
con người. Tiếng ồn cả ngày và đêm làm cho tâm trí của họ căng thẳng. Ùn tắc giao thông xảy
ra hàng ngày
Topic 2: Your favourite entertainment in your free time.(Trò giải trí bạn thích trong
thời gian rảnh)
I studies during this week, and I have only sunday of. I go to the school every morning.
Sometime I was work even on sunday. And I am attending an evening class improve my english.
I am very busy with my study. When I have free time, I read book, newspaper, magazine, listen
to music. There are many kinds of music avaliable on tapes including everything : rock, pop,
dance .
Sometime I go to shopping with my friends and my relative. We often go to the supermaket

On Tet holiday, people have many recreational activities. Young persons
take part in the traditional games. Adults will give lucky money to children. The
women like going to the pagoda to wish good things for their family.
In my opinion, I like cozy and fresh Tet atmosphere. I can hang out with
my friends and don't worry about anything.
Topic 5: I know you often go to the cinema. Tell me about the last film you saw
and whether you enjoyed it.
Dear Mary,
I’m glad to receive your letter. Now I’m writing to tell you about the last
film that I saw.
The name of the film was “Catch me if I can”. It was an American film and
it was played by two famous actors: Tom Hank and Leonardo. Tom Hank acted as
a policeman who always tried to catch Leonardo, who acted as a cheater?
Leonardo was born in an unhappy family. His father was a cheater and his mother
was in love with his friend’s father. After their parents divorced, he left school
and started to be a cheater. The policeman couldn’t catch him but he took himself
to the court. After that he served for FBI as their expert. The lesson I learn from
the film is family plays an important role in our life. The song at the beginning and
at the end of the film is so wonderful. You should go to see it when you have free
time.
Have you seen any interesting film recently? Write to me and tell me
about it. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Topic 6: In your next letter, could you give me some advice? Tell me how you
keep fit and healthy!
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your letter. I was happy to hear that you are well. In your
letter, you asked me some advice about how to keep fit. Now I'll give you some
tips.
First, you should have a healthy diet. You should eat more vegetables,
fruits and less meat or fat food. You know eating a lot of fat food may cause some

them are at the same age as me. They are very open and friendly. We always talk
and share our knowledge with each other to improve our communication in
English. The teacher is very helpful. She always encourages us to learn English.
She is a good teacher.
How are you doing? What about your vacation to Hawaii last week? What

that. Please send my regards to your parents.

Yours sincerely,
Topic 9: Traditional festivals
Dear Linda,
I received your letter the day before yesterday. I am happy to hear that you
have just had a wonderful holiday in Spain where there are a lot of festivals.
In my country, there are also many traditional festivals. The most important
one is Hung King Temple Festival. It falls on March 10
th
in lunar year. Vietnamese
people celebrate this festival to memorize Hung King who was the founder of our
country. On that day, people from everywhere in the country gather in Phu Tho
Province where Hung King Temple is located. People show their respect to the
King and take part in many interesting activities. The festivals last about ten days.
Tet is coming in Viet Nam, I hope that you can come to visit my family and
enjoy the festival.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. See you again.
Yours sincerely,
Topic 10: Use computer
Dear Tom,
I received your letter the day before yesterday. Now I am writing to you to
talk about using computer. I think computer is the most useful machine because of
some reasons. First of all, computer is convenient because it helps me work faster

Dear Linda,
I received your letter the day before yesterday. I am happy to hear that you
have decided to look for a part-time job. I think it is a good idea as doing a part-
time job can help you have more experience, social integration and especially have
money for your living and studying.
Are you wondering about which job you choose? I think working in a café
or in a shop is good. However, working in a café would be more fun because there
you have more chances to practise what you are learning at college for your future
job. In addition, working in a café can earn much more money.
Please send my regards to your parents.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
TOPIC 13
I think we need to eat a diet. Our bodies need more
nutrients from many different sources of food, so we need to change the various kinds of
food, to eat much more food like beverages, vegetables, fruit, milk, meat, fish,
eggs,etc. But we need to eat in a regime of a reasonable diet and it would be good
for our health.
We should also eat more grains such as rice, wheat,etc. Because they provide our bodies
with a large amount of starch, protein, fiber, vitamin,etc.
Eating more fruit and vegetables is good for our health. These kinds of food supply us
with vitamins, minerals, etc. They help the body healthy and prevent us
from cancer,also. We had better eat fresh fruit and vegetables several times a day.
For meat or eggs do we just eat enough. They contain not only high level of nutrients like
protein, canxi,etc but also substances such as fat, cholesterol, etc that are quite harmful.
Fat and oil are also important because
they contain essential fatty acids and vitamin E. But if we eat too much them it could be
harmful to health, cause some dangerous diseases like obesity, heart disease,etc.
And finally we should drink plenty of water, several times a day. Water helps purify the
body and makes it pleasant and refreshing.

sunlight,also. Moreover, spring is the season of reunion. Those who make living far from
hometown, their children and families for a long time, also feel stirred and try to come
back their countrysides. Everyone all are eager, looking forward to the day when they
would return home after a long time, probably a year, probably several years, and may be
a few decades.
And lastly, spring brings me feeling peaceful, warm, happy and full of hope. I
love spring.
TOPIC 16
you like to travel by any means? why?
I enjoy going camping, picnicking. And motorcycle is the most appropriate.Motorcyclists
can control their time, place and savings,etc. Throughout the process, we can
have break at any time we want and especially have seesights on our way.
However, motorcyclists are also sometimes not good. When it gets
too sunny, too rainy, or long route, it will make us tired or ill. And with a
motorcycle, we can only travelling in the small area, less than 400kms.
TOPIC 17
At the end of the 12th grade, we made a small party to not only show our gratitude to our
teachers who were very dedicated to us throughout past years but also say goodbye to our
teachers and friends.
At the beginning, all of us were very happy to talk to each others as well as review all our
memories. We sang, congratulated ourselve on what we achieved in this year and say
thank to our teachers. I still remember clearly everything that our teachers said before the
graduation: "All of you should become the useful ones in society". We, the playful
students, made the party full of laugh. The boys wanted to prove that they were mature so
they drank beer to each other when they greeted and wished others. Whereas, the
girls just talked to each other as if they had never said anything.
But at the end of the party, all of us got emotional, only knew to hug others and cried so
much.
We promised to try our best not to disappoint both teachers’ belief and parents’
expectation.We gave each others our addresses, phone numbers to can keep in touche
