 TOPIC 1
Hello, my full name is Tai. I come from Web18305. I am 18 years old. My
hobbies are play game. Today, I would like to talk about my favorite means of
transportation.

Body:
My favorite means of transportation is the bicycle. In Da Nang, there are many
kinds of means of transportation such as cars, motorcycles, buses, and bicycles,
but I like the bicycle the most. What I love most about the bicycle is that it allows
me to enjoy the fresh air and stay active while traveling. I find cycling to be a
great way to stay fit and tobe for good the environment.

I go to school by bicycle every day. It takes me around 15 minutes to reach

school. Riding a bicycle not only helps me save time but also avoids traffic
congestion during peak hours. Besides going to school, I also use my bicycle to
go to nearby places like the park or my friends' houses. It gives me a sense of
freedom and independence.

However, there are some problems when going by bicycle. Sometimes, I have to
deal with heavy rain, which makes the roads slippery and unsafe for cycling.
Additionally, there is a lack of dedicated bicycle lanes in some areas, making it
challenging to ride safely amidst traffic.

As for my travel plan, I am going to travel to Hoi An for my next vacation. I

chose this place because it is famous for its ancient town and traditional culture. I
am going there by bus, as it provides a comfortable and convenient mode of
transportation. I am planning to stay there for three days to explore the beautiful
landmarks, enjoy local cuisine, and experience the rich cultural heritage.

What I love most about Hoi An is its charming atmosphere and well-preserved
historical sites. The ancient town with its lantern-lit streets and colorful buildings
creates a magical ambiance that is truly captivating.

Concluding sentence:
To sum up, I really like to travel by bicycle as my favorite means of
transportation. It not only keeps me physically active but also allows me to enjoy
the surroundings. That's all for my presentation. Thanks so much for listening.

minutes to reach school, and I cycle almost every day. I don't face any significant
