people's awareness of the importance of protect these animals such as holding
international conferences, seminars and forums about the great importance of

social networking can considerably bring people closer to one another. Moreover,
it is obvious that these networks are useful for people to share what they know and
collect the information they need from others. Social networks also help brands to
spread their images and introduce their products to customers through social
marketing. When it comes to disadvantages, social networking is probably not only
time consuming but also violating humans’ privacy. Because of their attraction,
social networks are addictive and can make people waste a lot of time on them.

accessible by everyone and can lead to violation of privacy. In conclusion, it is
advisable for users to consider both pros and cons of social networks to optimally

of the poor, the injured, the disables, etc. Thus, they want to share with them
difficulties and sadness, give small helps to them, which can help them overcome
troubles. In addition, people not only want to help but they also train their ability in
activities of society - doing volunteer work. They think it can both help others and

There are a lot of differences between a traditional Vietnamese family and a

generations. A new marriage couple live with their relatives under a roof. Whereas
, the modern one has three to four people with 2 generations. Each parents has only
one or two children. The second is the role of family members. In a traditional
family, the father takes all responsibilities for the family and the wife has to do the
housework, take care of their children and serve her parents-in-law. On the other
hand, the modern parents share household-chore. Both of them go to work to

higher education or vocational training. In my opinion, the first choice is
preferable. Firstly, higher education is necessary for a good job in the modern
society. Living standard is increasing everyday, which also means that a college
degree is essential, even requisite to apply for a good – brand company. Another
point to consider is the skills learners will have in the university environment.
College students will have a chance to communicate with different types of people
from different areas, resulting in communication skill improvement and broadened
view as well. Universities also teach learners teamwork skill, presenting skill;
especially independence for students who study far from their hometown. In sum,
higher education provides suitable access to the developed life
Topic 23.
In a composition of about 200 words, write about the harmful as well as the
beneficial effects of advertising. Write your composition on your answer sheet.
Suggested writing
Advertising is the best tool for producers to promote their products;
however, not all people like it because it has advantages and disadvantages.
Looking at the positive part, advertisements tell us about the products or the
choices available in the market. Without advertisements we would have had very
less choices of product to buy, buying a good product with all the features we are
looking for, would have been very difficult. Further more, it creates many job
opportunities and employs many people, hence helps in reducing unemployment.
On the other hand, these are some problems in advertising. Many
advertisements are aimed on children who easily get carried away and insist
parents to buy what they see in the advertisements. Not to mention, few people
argue that some companies use obscene materials in their advertisements to attract
views which pollutes viewers’ minds especially that of younger ones.
To sum up, advertising is important for a company to sustain itself in the
competitive market but companies should follow certain ethics and a code of
conduct in order to eliminate harmful effects of advertising.

culture.The family plays a central role in Vietnam. Many homes support large
extended families with grandparents, aunts, uncles living under the same roof . The
most responsible role within the family is traditionally of the eldest son, who has to
care for his parents throughout his life. After the death of his father, he takes over
the role of the head of the family. Vietnamese life is profoundly influenced by
ancestor worship.Typical Vietnamese food varies among regions. However, rice is
the main grain for the Vietnamese people. It is eaten at almost every meal. People
choose what they want, and mix them with their bowls of rice. The Vietnamese eat
with chopsticks, and raise their up off the table to eat. Family life and eating
manner are just two of Vietnamese cultural features.
Topic 25.
In about 140 words, write a paragraph about an important choice you had to
make in your life.
Suggested writing
The most vital decision I have made was when I was at grade eleven: either
studying at home, or studying abroad. Obviously, studying abroad provides so
many precious opportunities, not only the best education standard, but also the
high employment rate. However, the drawback is that I will study in a completely
new country that is totally different. Novel situations might occur that I have never
encountered before. It is very risky to study in a distant continent. At the end, I
chose to stay in Vietnam, partly because of my family. Here, I still have a chance
to meet new friends that share the same culture, and another crucial reason is
because of the amount of money I can save from not studying abroad. So far, It is
not necessarily the best choice, but the most practical one. I am reasonably content
with it

schools in the city and I had to be accepted in the admission test before I actually
started studying here.
The school is a 4 stories building and there are approximately 300 students
and 40 teachers in this school. I love the way teachers behave with us, the very
interesting way they teach us, the play-ground and my class mates. We have a big
hall room where we gather during the break and enjoy gossiping with friends.
Things I do not like about the school are only few and among them the noise
produced by the nearby road. Besides, I hate the fact that the class starts from 6:30
am and because of that I have to wake up very early in the morning.
I mostly enjoy the time I spend in the school since I have been learning
many precious things.
Topic 27.
Write a paragraph (about 120) about a book that you have read recently.

he takes a travel to Egypt to find a lost treasure and his personal legend. During his
journey, he recognizes many clues which show him the right way to the treasure.
In an oasis, he meets and falls in love with Fatima. She encourages him to continue
his journey. With the help of The Alchemist, he arrives to Pyramids and knows
where the treasure really exists. The sentence I like most is "When a person really
desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his
dream". This book gave me motivation to follow my destiny and believe on true
love.
Topic 28.
Write a paragraph of about 140 words about the causes of the fact that families
now are not as close-knit as they were in the past.
Suggested writing
Nowadays, family relations are changing. They aren’t as close as they were
before because of some reason below. Firstly, most of parents have their own jobs.
They have to spend long time in their work and less time in taking care of their
children. Besides, children leave their parents at an early age to study or work. As
time passes, they become estranged by time and distance. Secondly, the majority of
this issue is developing of technology. For example, children use gadgets for a long
time even if they stay with their parents. It takes them more time to join an online
social network instead of talking in their real life to others. Last but not least, the
distance between generations becomes wider and wider. They have different in
mindset, it means that one thinks this is better while another thinks differently.
This may cause many arguments in the family. Sometimes, parents criticize
children or make them confused. Therefore, some families find it is difficult to
relate to one another. In conclusion, growing distance among family's members is a
big problem of modern life.

cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for a
while, so the environment will become very wonderful. There will no longer be air
pollution around us. Moreover, there will be no unemployment. All people will
have jobs with high salary. When people have a good job, they will not any
conflicts. Everybody will be less selfish, less violent, and more loving. In addition,
we will use modern computers. Instead of typing on computers, we'll say the words
and the computers will type them. Finally, the governments all over the world will
set up national parks and wild-life preserves. Thanks to these places, animals will
have a suitable habitat to survive and good conditions to grow and multiply. Above

admire most.
Suggested writing
I really admire my Grandfather whose life experiences inspired me very
much. The war had stolen his right arm and his respectful father when he was just a
kid. Life brought him lots of difficulties and pain but he never gave up. He told me
that I should not be afraid of failure because it can help me to grow up. He was an
independent young man to find a job and make money by himself. His job was to
teach at a school for disabilities. He helped them with his huge warm and generous
heart. He had found many ways to help those cowardly people to become braver
and happier. He was like Uncle Ho’s look-alike. He was a serious and strict person
but sometimes humorous and really emotional. He is a great emotion in my soul.
He passed away 3 years ago but in my heart, I always feel like he’s still alive.
Topic 31.
In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the following topic.
“Should mobile phones be banned among students?”
Use examples and reasons to support your answer.
Suggested writing
Thanks to the development of technology, more and more devices have been
invented to serve human beings’ need like cell phones, computer, or television, etc.
In my point of view, students should not be allowed to have cell phones in
secondary and high schools for some reasons. Firstly, that children use mobile
phones will influence on their studies. Students do not follow what the teacher has
just said while they are typing message or going out class to make a phone call.
These make students’ study quality lower. In addition, the abuse of using cell
phone will affect the overall health of students, especially their brains. A mobile
phone is designed to transmit radio waves in order to find a signal, this is likely to
increase the risk of brain cancer. As far as I am concerned, mobile phones have a
lot negative effects on youngsters, parents should help their kids with how to use a
cell phone in the right way.
Topic 32.
Write an essay about 180-200 words on the following topic. "Parents are the best
teachers". Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Use specific reasons and
examples to support your answer.
Suggested writing
No one on this earth could deny the fact that parents are the messengers of
god. I firmly believe that I am really blessed to have such supporting parents. They
are the treasure hunt of knowledge. I personally consider them as the best teachers.
Right from childhood, they teach us in each and every phase of life. When
we are kids, they train us in all kinds of activities crawling, walking and talking.
During the schooling, they educate us on the difficult subjects. When we grow up a
bit, they assist us in choosing the right path. They support our career aspirations.
They teach us what is good and what is bad.
In addition to the above, parents enlighten us by teaching moral values. They
explain us their past experiences in life from which we can extract some of the do's
and don'ts. We learnt a lot from them on the culture and traditions of our region.
They advise us in many tough situations. In my opinion, a teacher is not someone
who merely teaches us how to read, write and to gain an academic degree. Rather
this person teaches us the morality, value of life and inspires us to live a positive
life. In this regards, parents put more emphasis and effort that a teacher we find in
our school. In our life, we learn about life from our parents more than from anyone
else.
On the other hand, some of the students deny this fact as they may not
consider the abilities of their children and force them to take subjects of their
choice. They feel that parents should take into account their opinions and discuss
with them the pros and cons of their choice.
To conclude, I strongly affirm that no teacher in this world can be as best as
our parents. We should respect their opinions and abide by their valuable
suggestions.
Topic 33.

undeniable that club activities can assist me a lot. Moreover, as English has
become increasingly important in modern global society, it is advisable to join this
club because it gives me an opportunity to learn English through a diversity of
activities like sharing, discussing, talking,… Last but not least, participating in the

I have received your letter and I feel so glad when knowing that you had
passed your examinations with good marks. You want me to tell you about my
family rules, and the importance of family in my life? I am always willing to tell
you all about my family.
Family rules? It's an interesting topic, isn't it? It may be obvious that every
family has its own rules. Mine has a few, apart from our traditional rules,
especially for this school year as I'm in the final year.First, I'm not allowed to
watch TV, nearly no, except when there is a good or interesting movie or when I
have finished all my homework and exercises. And never do my parents let me
stay up so much late at night.Next my parents don't permit me to go out with my
friends without necessary reason for example birthdays.Besides, I have to take a
balanced diet to keep fit for my coming exam. And one more thing I have to keep
up is talking on the phone, that is I have to set a limit to my using of the phone.
For me, family is very important part of my everyday life. It helps me in
improving my personality. It also helps me in shaping my life. It teaches me the
value of love, affection, care, truthfulness and self-confidence and provides me
tools and suggestions which are necessary to get success in life.Family is a place
where I can be myself. It is a place where I am accepted for what I am. This is
where I am completely tension free and everyone is there to help me. Family
encourages me when I am surrounded by problems. It helps me survive through
tough times and bring joy and happiness into my life. Now I am preparing for my
GCSE examination and the entrance examination. They are very hard for me, but I
try my best to pass the exams with good marks.
I have told you something about my family rules. How about your family
rules? Are you ready to let me know about it? I am really excited to hear about it.
And I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes to you,
Love,
Nam

Suggested writing
Nowadays, there are various types of modern devices that facilitate humans’
life, among which I like smartphones the most. Normally, a smart phone is a cell
phone with a touch screen, but it is far smarter than a mobile. Smartphone is the
device that I like best because it is small and portable, yet can offer many helpful
functions for users. While a cell phone just enables communication regardless of
distance, a smartphone can do much more than that. Not only can it help people
make phone calls but it also can give them access to the internet with ease. On
smartphone, people can read newspapers, play games, search for information to
learn and work,… and so on. Moreover, it is easy to use a smarphone because it is

People say that students should take a gap year after high school graduation. In
about 140 words, write a paragraph to express your ideas about the statement.
Suggested writing
In my opinion, taking a gap year between high school and college can be
very beneficial to one’s personal development. There are some main reasons
below. First and foremost, they can do a lot of things they haven’t done before.
Students can pick up the pieces they missed in high school such as taking a parttime job, traveling in other countries, becoming a volunteer, which can help them
live life to the fullest. Nowadays, many Vietnamese students do not know what
they want, what type of job they are suitable for. So, taking a gap year, students
will have time to think particularly about their lives, goals, ambitions, and so on.
Therefore, they can easier choose which university to go. Moreover, they’ll know
what’s important in life before most people do. They understand there are bigger
issues for humanity than a failed date night. They also have first-hand opinions to
share about people, places and ideas that their friends might have never even heard
of. In short, taking a gap year is a good choice for many students.

details are particularly vulnerable. Moreover, the internet contains ageinappropriate content like pornography. Unfortunately, such content can be
accessed by children. This is the greatest threat to human life, especially the

side; therefore, use the internet for positive things so that we get a lot of benefits.

There is no doubt that homework is important to students’ study. Homework
provides opportunities for reinforcement of work learned during school time and
for children to develop their research skills. Therefore, it helps children understand
new lessons more easily. If they fail to do your homework, they will probably not
understand what the teacher would be teaching during the next class. The third
important benefit of doing homework is that it helps prepare the students for the
major end tests. Once a child performs well in a homework, it will teach them the
importance of performing better in their next test. In addition, homework teaches

From 120 to 150 words, write a paragraph about why is it important to protect
our environment? What should we do to fulfill this task?
Suggested writing
We live in the environment that is polluted, we need a healthy environment
in order to survive. We need to protect the environment now to help prevent health
problems, and to preserve the Earth for our children. We all know that pollution
from factories and cars can cause huge damage to the atmosphere. It makes the air
dirty. Breathing this air causes lung diseases, particularly for children and the
elderly. We need to control the amounts of pollution we produce in order to
prevent health problems. Furthermore, we also need to pay attention to the
ecosystem. Plant life, animal life, and people all depend on each other. Polluted
environment disturbs our ecosystem. For example, pollution might cause certain
kinds of plants to die. If these plants are food for some certain kind of animals,
they will die too. If people use these animals as food source, there could be a big
problem. To avoid the big problems, factories should pollute as little as possible. If
we do not protect our environment, it will continue to get worse. That leads our
children to suffer the consequences. The air and water will be dirtier, natural
resources will become scarcer, and more plants and animals will die. Even worse,
their well-being will be threatened. In short, with contaminated air to breathe, an
unhealthy ecosystem, that’s the bad future for our generation, the human race will
not survive. That is why protecting our environment is crucial.
