The Summer is coming soon and people are wondering what they should do in the upcoming
time: learning a language course, doing voluntary work or learning to play a sport. In my
opinion, attending an English course is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly,
it is required for all students to have B1 certificate before graduation at my university. It means
that in order to graduate from university, we need to have B1 level of English. Taking an English
course helps me to better prepare for the test. Secondly, learning English enables me to have
better job opportunities. You know, English is necessary in our modern business world. Knowing
English means that you can find a job more easily and especially one with higher salary.

Regarding the other two options, I know that many of my friends opt to do voluntary work
because it's a great way to help the local community and it offers a chance to make new friends.
However, as for me, learning English is more important at this time. Taking up a sport isn't my
choice, either because I go for a walk every day, which helps me to get in better shape and
improve my health. There's no need to learn a new one. In short, learning a language course is
my final decision.
Đề 2: in a shop, in an open-air market or in an online shop.

A group of students are discussing where to buy clothes. There are three possible options: in a
shop, in an open-air market or in an online shop. In my opinion, buying clothes in an open air
market is the best choice for the following reasons. Firstly, there is a wider range of clothes in
the open a air market as there are many different shops selling various kinds of clothes.
Secondly, clothes in the open air market are normally cheaper than those in a shop. I don't opt to
buy clothes in a shop because you know, each shop has a limited number of clothes. Moreover, it
offers only a few styles, for example, men's, women's, kids'. Besides, clothes on sale are rather
expensive. Similarly, buying clothes in an online shop isn't my interest. I have to admit that more
and more people buy clothes in an online shop nowadays because of the low cost and a wide
selection of clothes. However, I don't like online shopping especially for clothes because I cannot
try on them so it's difficult to know whether they fit me or not. Besides, all clothes online look
really nice thanks to photoshop possibly. As a result, they might look really ugly when I bring
them home. In short, I would prefer to buy clothes in an open air market.
Đề 3: living in a university hostel, renting a flat or staying with the relatives.

A first year student is going to choose where to live: living in a university hostel, renting a flat or
staying with the relatives. In my opinion, if I were in the situation, I would opt to live in a
university hostel for the following reasons. Firstly, it is very cheap to stay there. A freshman
would have to pay tuition fees and a lot of other costs such as food, books and so on. Living in a
university hostel would save him or her a lot of money. Secondly, I find it very convenient to
stay in a university hostel because it is often close to university so he or she can walk to school.
Then, it does not cost anything to buy bus tickets or gas. Moreover, it is easy to share learning
materials or discuss with roommates. Living in a university hostel, you normally share the room
with about a few people from the same university. Therefore, whenever there is a question you
can easily ask them for advice or discuss to solve the problem. I don't choose to rent a flat
because it is costly to do so. Regarding staying with the relatives, I think it is not so comfortable.
Moreover, they might live far away university or we have to do housework.
Đề 4: buy a house, buy gold or save in the bank.

If I won the lottery of 1 billion VND, I would definitely buy a flat because at the moment I have
to pay the rent. Well, there's a saying that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I think it's true that a
stable accommodation would lead to a stable job. I know that with one billion VND, I can only
afford a flat far from the city centre so I would obtain a loan from the bank or borrow some
money from family and friends. I don't choose to buy gold because you know, the price goes up
and down and with one billion VND, I will be able to buy a lot of gold. Then, I would be worried
about where to keep it. Regarding saving in the bank, I think it isn't a good idea for me to do so
because right now the interest rate is very low - just about 6% a year. Moreover, money will lose
its value when we keep it in the bank because of inflation. In short, I would opt to buy a house if
I were in the situation.
Đề 5: a public shool near home, abroad in Australia or a gifted school far from home.

My younger brother who is a talented student is deciding on which high school to go: a school
abroad in Australia, a public school near home and a gifted school far from home. In my opinion,
a state school near my home is the best option because of the following reasons. Firstly, he can
still live with my family. Therefore, he can be well taken care of. On the contrary, attending a
school abroad or a gifted school far away from home in Vietnam, he has to live on his own and
can't see his family often, so he might feel homesick. Besides, living in another country is often
quite challenging for a young person like him. For example, he has to learn a new language
which is rather difficult or encountering culture shock. Secondly, as he lives at home, my family
does not have to pay for his rent or other living costs.

I have to admit that a school overseas or a gifted school will offer better courses. As a result, he
will have more job opportunities with higher salary. However, the ultimate goal of studying is to
be able to get a good job. This can still be achieved by going to a public school near home
because it can still provide good knowledge and skills to prepare him for university entrance
exam. In my view, wherever he studies, it is himself who decides what he can learn, so I think,
the public school close to my house is best choice for him.
Đề 6: Want improve your Eng speaking skills. Joining an Eng club, an Eng class at centre,
talking to foreigners in public places.
I want to improve my English speaking skills. As for us, we can choose among three options:
joining an English club, joining an English class at center, or

talking to foreigners in public places. In my opinion, taking an English course is the best choice
because of the following reasons. Firstly, a course in an English center is often well structured
with different real life situations. Therefore, I can take part in many speaking activities and more
importantly, these situations are common in our lives. Moreover, a course is always instructed by
an experienced teacher who knows which materials are the best for his/her students. Besides, he
or she can also correct students' mistakes if any. On the other hand, nobody checks your work
while you participate in a club and it is often so noisy that you hardly hear what other people are
saying. I do not opt to talk to foreigners in public places because you know, they are normally
busy sightseeing and some of them are not willing to speak to us. Even when they are, we can
only spend a few minutes chatting on very limited topics like the weather, job and so on. In
short, taking an English course is the best option for me.
Đề 7: wearing uniform all week, wearing uniform 2 days a week or no uniform at all.
My school asks us for our opinion about wearing uniforms. There are three possible options:
wearing uniforms all week, wearing uniforms 2 days a week, or no uniform at all. In my opinion,
I would opt to wear uniforms 2 days a week so that I can take advantages of both wearing
uniforms and no uniforms at all. Firstly, wearing uniforms benefits students who cannot afford to
buy expensive and fashionable clothes. As all people dress the same way, there will be no gap
between the poor and the rich so that poor students will feel more confident. Moreover, when we
wear uniforms we do not have to think of what to wear or how to combine different clothes
before getting to school. Lastly, uniforms are a form of school unity. They tell other people what
school you belong to. Regarding the advantages of not wearing uniforms, well, you still have
your own choice of clothes which reflect your own taste as people often say the way we dress
reveals who we are. In conclusion, it's great for students to have a balance between wearing
uniforms and having their own style of clothes.
