Ch 1: Describe your first day at school as a child I don't remember feeling the first day at school clearly. it was a beautiful day, shinning and windy. My mother took me to the school by bicycle. I worn a short and a white shirt in that day. On the way to school, my mother tenderly held my hand and looked at me fondly. The road to school now seemed quite strange to me although in my childhood I rambled along it so many times! The other children of my own age, in new clothes like me, were timidly accompanied by their parents to school. A strange and inexplicable feeling bloomed in my heart. Then I had a feeling of worry and fear when I caught sight of the imposing and gigantic elementary school in front of me: It looked so majestic in its new colors. The schoolyard was packed with pupils and their parents. The old pupils were playing with marbles or with spinning tops, running up and down, talking and laughing merrily. The headmaster and the teachers, neatly dressed, were standing under the school verandah. My first teacher greeted us at the door with gentle smile, and first lession is a song name " the first day go to school" Ch 2: Your favourite hobby and why you enjoy it. Done task Everyone must have a hobby. And me, just like them, have one, too. It may sound a little weird and boring for a high school student like me when I say my hobby is actually knitting. While other young boys and girls have many interesting hobbies such as playing sports and cooking, I would rather sit in one place and knit. Not just because I am lazy but when you try knitting once, you will get addicted to it. I myself do not understand why either but after trying to knit for the first time, it got my interest. I used to find it amazing when people can only need to use two long sticks and some balls of wool to make a scarf or even a sweater. I have seen some professional people knitting without even look at what they are doing. At that time, I was actually shocked and wanted to be like them. That is why I told my mother to buy me what is needed to knit and started to learn how to knit from her.

At first I made many mistakes but now I am can work finely with it. It was fun in my opinion. Knitting has many advantages and that is why I enjoy doing so much. First, if you have a lover, you can knit a sweater or a scarf for him a her, it is more meaningful and can save a lot of your money. Second, it helps you to improve your concentration. While knitting, you can not advert your eyes to somewhere else or you will make mistakes and trust me, having mistakes in knitting is really hard to fix or even worse, you have to star from all over again, except you are a really professional one. Last but not least, it can help to keep your hands warm in the winter. Imagine, while knitting, you have to hold on to the wool and it can keep the heat of your hands. With all these things, knitting has become my most favourite hobby. People always think that knitting is just for the old ones and waste a lot time but I do not think so. I am just a young student but I like knitting so much that I use it to spend my free time. Just try it once and I am sure you will love it. Ch 3: How to be happier? Do new things. Sometimes we get bored in our lives, because everything is the same. That can lead to never being truly content with ourselves. Challenge yourself, try new things. Learn new things. Learn to play the piano, watch a movie you normally wouldn't watch. Be open to change and learning more about who you are and what you like. We are always learning more about ourselves. We don't know everything about us, so search for more. Try new things.

Ch 4: Describe your best friend and tell why you like him or her. Inlife everyone needs friends. To me, one of my best friend is L. She has black hair, a broad forehead, a straight nose and bright eyes. She has a kind heart and is easy to get on with everybody so she is very lovely.

She is always ready to help his weak friends in their study; as a result, lots of friends, thanks to his whole hearted help, have become good ones. In my relation with L, I have got precious experience: thirst for learning, patience to overcome difficulties,and filial piety. I am very lucky to have friends like L. I love her.

Ch 5: Why is necessary to learn English? I have learnt English when I was a school boy at primary school. At that time learning English is not important and popular as today, so I didnt pay more attention or spend more time learning English However, my thought has been changed, it is necessary to learn English the reason that English is the international language, seen to become the second language in Vietnam, especially when Vietnam has joined WTO or other economical organization of the world. And a lot of multinational or joint venture companies, factories will be built in my country that will bring about many working opportunities for us. If I study English well, it is so helpful for my work, I can communicate with my colleague, foreign partners easily, I which will make my busines group up, At the same time, I can improve my knowledge. This means, it will be easier for me to find a good job with high working standard and salary, and creat opportunities to promote my career path.

Ch 6: Do you like to live in an old house or moderm flat? I like to live in an old house. A small house is in large garden. In house, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. There is a living room, a kitchen on the one floor and a bathroom for each floor. There are 2 bed room on two floor . Around house are the trees and flowers. In front of house is a small quare, a alley go into house. There is a fishpond next to the square. I can look care some animals in the garden as chicken, dog, . In here, I like to live peace.

Ch 7: The difference between weekend and weekday activities: There are so many differences between weekend and weekday activities. I have many things to do on a typical weekday. Firstly, I have to wake up at 6 am, do exercises, take some personal activities and have breakfast. My working time always starts at 8:30 am and ends at 5:30 pm. Luckily, my house is near my office so that I have much time to prepare to go to work. After being stressed during working time in the company, I have to go to university to study Master of Information Technology course. Sometimes, it is terrible on the way to university because of traffic jam but I still feel happy and excited of learning new things and meeting new friends. Though I often arrive at home a bit late, I try to spend at least one hour a day on practicing on violin. By virtue of music, I find this life beautiful and get a balance.

Lp Khoa hc my tnh: M11CQCK02-B

As you see, my weekdays are so busy and stressful. Therefore, I definitely need to relax at the weekend. Because I no longer live with my parents, I often visit my countryside and have warm meals with my family. I usually go out with some close friends to find out beautiful sight-seeing places to take romantic photos. All of us have the same hobbies so we have many kinds of things to do together. It is really funny and happy. Ch 8. Describe the house/flat where you live? I am an IT engineer and I am working in Hanoi capital but my hometown is quite far from here so I need to rend a house to live. I live with my brother's family. It is placed at small alley in suburb and I have to take about 20 minutes to go to work. This house has 2 floors and it is as small as possible, it is about 30 meter square. There are one sitting-room at first floor, one bath room and one bed room at second floor. In the first floor we separate to 3 parts, one part for my bed and my working table, one part for eating table, one part for cooking because there is no kitchen in this house. But it is not important, I feel free and relax when I stay at home. I love this house because I have lived here for a long time, it seems belong to me. Of course it is not exactly! Ch 9. How could you attract tourists to your town When visitors come to your town, replies to this question can make or break their impression of your community. If you want visitors to come back againand say nice things about your town to others who might come, tooyou need to have some good answers at the ready. That means offering things to see and do that are either unique (one of a kind) or extraordinary (other towns might have them, but yours is better). Effective

Lp Khoa hc my tnh: M11CQCK02-B

community tourism development aims to give visitors an authentic, high-quality experience that they will remember for a long time. The core of assessment is an inventory of existing and potential attractions that might draw tourists to a community. Places of natural and scenic significance should go on the list, of course. Count things like lakes, beaches, forests, prairies, and craggy cliffsas well as outdoor recreational activities that can be pursued in these natural settings. Attractions also include intangibles, such as friendly service, a safe environment, clean air or a unique history and/or culture. These assets are valuablenot just to visitors but to residents, too. Ch 10: Talk about an important city in your country Hi Mary, How have you been recently? I am writing to tell you about Hanoi my beautiful city. I was born in Hanoi, the capital city in Vietnam, the countrys center of economy, politics, culture and society. Its a beautiful and modern city with a lot of high buildings.

Ch 11: What do you think of fashion today. I think fashion's mostly a really good thing because wearing something fashionable makes you feel good inside. However, some fashions I really hate because...they're ugly!! but, to be honest, it depends on the sort of person you are because if you like to follow the crowd then you'll love fashion, but if you're more unique then maybe not. :) I think that fashion goes in cycles... things that used to be fashionable come back in style later. In twenty years, I think it will be still stuck in the same loop... kind of like the Sneetches. Whenever a lot of people start following a certain trend, then the people who think that particular trend makes them unique want to change it... move on to the next new thing. This not to say that there isn't some attraction to the glitter and glam of it all... I admire some of the comfortable styles, and as the first contributor said... sometimes wearing something that makes you feel good about yourself matters.

Ch 12: Your favorite way of relaxing The best way to forget tired, stress in the life that do what I like and I've always done it very good. One of my many hobbies is listening to music, when I almost feel sad I often hear some pop or ballad music, the voices are very gentle to help me feel relaxed, or maybe a few rock song that will help me stronger. In addition, Playing sport is also good method, I love playing tennis, this sport is very wonderful to train my health, it helps me feel better and stronger. One more hobby is go out with my friend or arrange a travel. These activities will help you to avoid troubles, problems,... in my life so it is the best way to refresh myself.

Ch 13: What do you think of the weather in Viet Nam? The weather in Vietnam is very special. In the North, there are four seasons. They are: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the spring its very warm and drizzly . At that time, plants grow very quickly. In the summer, the weather becomes hot and wet. Its showery. In the autumn, the weather becomes cooler. The leaves turn yellow and therere sudden and short showers in the seventh lunar month. The winter is the coldest season in the year and the weather is very arid. Unlike the North , in the South, therere only two seasons. Theyre the rains and the dry season. The rains lasts from April to November when There are many tropical fruits and the showers are heavily but so quickly. the stream becomes a raging torrent. On the contrary, the dry season starts in December and ends in March, its not rainy but hot and dry ,so droughts always come.

Ch 14: What forms of transport are the most suitable for cities? Why Currently we can see that there are many kinds of transportation existed in cities of Vietnam such as rail, tram, cars, ferries, buses, motorbikes, bicycle In my opinion, public transportation is the best way for citizens to travel around the city and metro is one of them. Firstly, it is economic to use metro. Metro system is built underground so that government can save a large amount of land from building new roads and highways according to the development of population. With the continuous increase of petrol/gasoline, people only spend a fraction of what they would spend on their own to drive everywhere. Secondly, Citizens always feel reliable, safe and comfortable. Because rail rides are always on schedules and there is no way of traffic jam and accidents. As long as people plan correctly, they should be able to get to their destination on time. Furthermore, since you do not have to drive yourself, you are able to complete other activities traveling on a metro rail including taking care of other business or homework, or even catching up on sleep. Finally, its really good to build a sociable community.

Lp Khoa hc my tnh: M11CQCK02-B

Riding the rail may help you create friendships with other strangers. If you take the same train every day from the same station, you get to know people around you, which could foster new friendships. It's always great to meet new people and become a part of their lives. 15. Do you think bicycle is still popular suitable for cities? Why? What are the benefits of cycling to work? I think bicycle will be still popular suitable for cities because when you move in a city, the distance is rarely more than 10km. So, you can cycle when the distance is less than 3km, otherwise, you can use electric bicycle. Besides, it has many benefits. First, it is cheaper than other transport, except public transport. But public transport has much inconvenience, you have to wait for the bus that goes to the place you want, it usually takes lots of time. Evenly, in many cases, you must change to other bus to get target. Second, because it uses electricity or human power, so it hardly pollutes environment. The citys air will be fresher if many people using bicycle instead of motorbike or car. Third, you can escape traffic jam quickly because bicycle is light weight and small, so you can wriggle out of it easily. Also, when the road is not crowded, you can drive slow and relax when youre stressed. If your home is near office, you should cycle to work because you can exercise lightly with it and will have a good spirit for working day. But bicycle is just appropriate to people who dont have to move too much. If you arent in this group, I think you should use a motorbike or even car, if you have enough money.

Ch 16: Give some advantages and disadvantages of travelling by airplane? 1. Advantage:

Lp Khoa hc my tnh: M11CQCK02-B

That is fast, save time, fewer health effects due to long distance, easy time control, safety, generally travel more to better serve and You can change the seating suitable moment before boarding under the arrangement must be notified prior to check-in staff. The Quality personal service generally better than when traveling by others (good seats, good personal service, personal entertainment spot on the plane as video plus games plus drinks good beverage on airline quality ...) Security in moving, passenger safety is guaranteed maximum, the book is carried out quickly, through agents, or faster and more convenient through many electronic site (eg: the highest support get tickets online) 2. Disadvantages: That is high cost, a number of people with fear of heights may be obsessed when going the plane and due to the take-off and landing abrupt elevation changes, air pressure changes can ringing in the ears, pain in the ear. Another thing is when the plane crashed is very easy to die, or even missing. Ch 17: Which season do you like most? Why? There are 3 regions in Viet Nam: North Vietnam, South Vietnam and middle Vietnam. The weather in each region is different. In North Vietnam, there are 4 seasons: Summer, winter, spring and autumn but there are only 2 seasons in South and middle Vietnam. I love winter because it is beautiful and the cold of winter will make people near together. It is not too cold, so there isn't snow in winter in Vietnam. Winter can be harsh and winter can be beautiful. We can have glorious bright cold sunny days or fog and cloud and rain. One of the things I love about winter is that when it gets dark so early, I like to snuggle up at home with a big mug of hot chocolate or a cup of hot tea depending on my mood and snuggle up with my big furry blankets to watch a great film. Topic 18: Many people say that it is better living to eat than eating to live. Do you agree. Give reasons to your answer.

10

Lp Khoa hc my tnh: M11CQCK02-B

I dont agree with this idea. We should eat to live, not living to eat. Frist, we will answer a question why do we need to eat food. Our body need energy for different activities and maintain the health. We must do something and spend more energy everyday such as do exercise, walking, working, chatting, playing, watching tv, typing the computer, learning, sleeping and we even relax, we also take energy. In addition, we sometimes have illnesses. The illness maybe not dangerous. However, them make us tired, feel uncomfortable. In that time, we need energy to resist the disease. And where is the energy taken? Food will give us energy. The different kinds of food will provide the different nutrition. Vegetable and fruit contain in many kinds of vitamin. Sea fishes contain in many kinds of mineral. Sugar, meat, chocolate provide the most of energy. We must eat four groups of food everyday to have enough nutrition. Besides, the supplement are also necessary, some nutrients are not in the food we eat,we must be added. Moreover, the proper diet will give us the good body and the longevity. In general, we eat to satisfy body needs, maintain health, resist with the disease and have enouggh energy to complete many things we like such as traveling, going to overseas, having baby Next, we will answer a question why we dont live to eat. Nowaday, more and more people become obese and overweight as well as having blood pressure, stroke, the unproper diet and eating lots of fat food will influence seriously for body. If we eat a lot of fast food, sugar, chocolate and drink energy drinks such as pepsi, cocacola,and eat less vegetable, fruit, we will be stored many fat. If we just live to eat, we will be bored, unhappy, wont have ambitions, purpose. The life doesnt make sense, we dont create the real values of the life. Besides, using the chemical to protect food, vegetable that make food store some toxic. If we eat that food in long time, we will be ill, have cancer. The life contains many interesting and mysterious things that is discovered . we not only live to enjoy dishes but also find out interesting things in our life. We need energy to make dreams become true by having the proper diet. Therefor, we just eat to live, not live to eat.

Ch 19: More should be done to protect the natual features, such as lakes and rivers, of the world. How far do you agree with this statement? I strongly agree with this statement. These days, people are destroying the environment in many ways.They cut down trees, litter garbage every where. Many rivers, lakes and oceans are being seriously polluted because raw sewage, waste materials and chemicals come from factories is pumped directly into the sea, rivers and lakes. people also use the dynamime or electricity to catch fish. That cause the water pollution. I think everyone must be aware of protecting the environment and saving the natura features. The Government should prohibit and fine heavily anyone who destoy the environment. 20. How would you compare your living standards to those of your grandparents? When I was a child, my grandparents had gone to the heaven. I don't remember much about them and their living standards. At that time, more than 60 years ago, so I can guess how did they live. About 60 years ago, my grandparents was living with a war, they had to fight to live. They did not care about money, just focused to Independence and Freedom. They loved our country more than themselves, they could die for big ideal for Independence, for Freedom. Now almost people in my generation, just think of themselves, and live without ideal.

About 60 years ago most of them used to go on foot or by bicycle to visit their friends, now I use my motor-bike or car. They also didn't know about mobile phone, now we can talk with our friend anywhere by mobile phone. At their time, they used to listen to Vietnamese music with a old radio, they may did not know how crazy fan is? Now I usually listen to music by my laptop via Internet connection with any kind of music on the world. There was no Internet connection in their life time, they didn't know how to connect with people all over the world. Now we have a big social network and it is very interesting. There are too much different things!!!
