TOPIC: HOLIDAY

Hello, I'm [your name]. Today I'll talk about my vacation. Last summer, my family and I had an
exciting vacation to Da Nang, the pearl of the Vietnamese coast. After an hour-long flight, we
landed and were greeted by a beautiful hotel. It even had an outdoor pool, so it felt like a
paradise.
We woke up early every morning to watch the sunrise over the sea. It was so quiet and beautiful.
After breakfast, we always spent time at the beach. We played beach volleyball, built
sandcastles, and swam in the blue sea. We spent the afternoon sightseeing.
An unforgettable highlight was our visit to Ba Na Hills, where we were able to walk across the
famous Golden Bridge. It was amazing! In the evening, we ate seafood at a nearby restaurant.
We especially liked the fresh fish. We walked along the coast, enjoying the cool breeze and the
sound of the waves.
This holiday was unforgettable because it was both relaxing and full of fun activities. I loved
spending time with my family and exploring new places. The weather was perfect, sunny but not
too hot, and everything about the trip was amazing. I would love to visit Da Nang again in the
future!"

TOPIC: FAVORITE BOOK

In terms of my all-time favorite books, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter springs to mind. The original
story tells of a young boy, Harry Potter, who on the day of his 11th birthday learns he is a wizard
— a discovery that changes the coarse of his life.

Before that, Harry lived with his nasty aunt, uncle, and cousin, who were awful to him. That all
changed when he got a letter inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It
was life-changing not just for Harry, but for anyone who has ever wished to fit in or not feel
alone. Which means that everyone somewhere in this world are special.

My favorite thing about this book is Hogwarts is a place that keeps secrets — speaking paintings,
moving staircases, enchanted ceilings. It’s a everything-at-once world, and it’s such a world that
you can almost feel you are there yourself with Harry and friends.

But the world of Harry Potter isn’t a world of magic; it’s about friendship, and doing what’s
right, even—and especially—when it’s difficult to do so. They show that true strength doesn’t
just lie in one’s magical power— it’s about loyalty, courage and doing what you believe is the
right thing.

This book is timeless and continues to captivate readers of all ages. Every time I read this book,
I’m reminded of why it’s so loved by readers of all ages. It’s an adventure full of heart, magic,
and life lessons, and I believe it’s a story that everyone should experience.
TOPIC: FREE TIME AND HOBBIES

1.

When I’m not working, I do a little bit of everything. Reading is one of my favourite pastimes. I
just love getting lost in different worlds, meeting new characters and following them on their
journey. There are times even nearly forget the time while reading a good book, it’s so good!

I have another hobby which is playing sport, and the most favourite sport I play is basketball.
Every weekend I used to play football with my friends and we used to laugh under the sun. We
often play at the park around my house.

I also love movies—especially comedies and action films. There’s nothing better than sitting
down after a long day to enjoy a good film. I often share this experience with my family; we
watch together and discuss about the characters and plots.

I also love films — particularly comedies and action movies. Few things beat sitting down after a
long day to watch a good movie. This is how I usually share about this experience, together with
my family, watch with them and we talk about the characters and plots.

Last but not least, I enjoy hanging out with friends. We can go to the movies, eat out, or just chill
at the mall, it is essential for us to strengthen our friendship.

2.

One of the activities that I choose myself to do when I am free is playing video games. I am an
eclectic gamer, but if I have to pick a favorite category, it would be action and adventure. I
typically play for an hour or two in the evening after returning from school. This is the most
eventful time of the whole day when I can unwind and chill.

In addition to playing video games, I am also into listening to music. I am mostly into pop and
rock music. I like to find out new songs and artists, and sometimes I even want to try some of the
songs on the guitar. I'm not that good, but playing has become one of the best ways to have a
good time and get better.

Cooking is what I do as a hobby, too. It is my family that I cook for. The delicious and, at the
same time, easy food to cook is a pot of pasta for me. It makes me happy to see everyone enjoy
what I have cooked, and I like being in the kitchen. I make pastries like cakes or cookies most of
the time.

Walking and bike riding are two activities that I also like to do. I prefer to walk through the park
close to my house mostly in the morning. This is the time when I am in the park alone, and the
world feels like it has just stopped and the only things left are the trees and me. There is
something about this place that leaves me feeling clear and refreshed.
3.

Drawing is one of my top favorite leisure activities. I get a lot of satisfaction from painting,
especially with animals and nature, in an urban context. Each afternoon for me is a new canvas
upon which I draw, thus unleashing my creativity in full bloom.

Moreover, I am also fond of listening to music. Music is a big part of my life and my daily
activities are heavily music-influenced. I'm usually drawn to the rhythms of pop and rock music
and sometimes I burst into a full performance, belting along. I prefer listening to music when I'm
working on my assignments or even when I'm just chilling at home.

Cooking is one more activity I love. I have soup cans and pasta boxes already cut open and
waiting for you. I find myself enjoying cooking, as it is a much more creative venture, besides
that you can prepare a good-tasting dish. At some times, we are all in the kitchen making lunch
or dinner and then enjoy eating together afterward.

Additionally, I take delight in my time outdoors. In the park, I am happy strolling around, or I
also like to ride my bicycle around the neighborhood. I stay fit and my mind is always clear
when I engage in that kind of activity.

4.

Among the many things which I like doing in my free time, one of my hobbies is to take photos.
I like to take pictures of nature, flowers, trees, or sunsets. I also love capturing clicks of my
friends and family when we are all together. Photography makes me admire all the small details
in my life, and it is enjoyable to look at them again.

Usually, my phone is the tool I use for shooting as it is simple and fast. I mostly use my phone to
take pictures because it’s easy and convenient, but I also have a small camera that I use when I
want to take more. For example, I might take a photo of a flower from up close. I enjoy editing
my photos too, using filters or changing the brightness to make them look even better.

Sometimes, I take my camera with me when I go for a walk in the park or to a new place, and I
look for interesting things to photograph. I feel like photography lets me express myself in a
creative way, and it’s always exciting to see how my pictures become.

Another thing I love is that it helps me remember special moments. When I look back at old
photos, I can remember the places I visited or the fun times I had with friends and family. It’s
like keeping a memory of everything I’ve experienced.
TOPIC: FAMILY

1.

The thing that gives me the greatest joy in my life, after family, is spending a lot of time with
them. My family has … members which include my mother, father, brother, and me. We all get
along well and at the same time, we do various things too.

My mother is a nice and very hardworking lady. She still helps me with every little thing I need.
In fact, she is the one who always likes to make cooking time more fun by doing it together, so
we often have delightful meals when all home. My father, even if he has a busy schedule during
the day, he relaxes with us whenever he is home and makes life better. It is my brother who is
still in his childhood stage at the age of 10. He is packed with energy and he is also a very lover
of PlayStation. Sometimes we even play games together, and, it is a lot of fun.

We come together and go to the park or the beach on our family trips. In addition, we like to
watch movies together. At home, we talk a lot and share stories about our day. It is our valuable
time to unwind and breathe in each other's presence.

2.

My family is small yet we are very close to each other. There are five people in my family: my
father, my mother, my older sister, my younger brother, and I. All the family stays in the house
together, and we love spending time with each other.

My father is a very kind and patient person. He is a teacher, and he likes to read books during
leisure time. My mother holds a nurse title and looks after people in the hospital. She is usually
engaged in work however she gets time to support us with whatever we need. My however sister
is 16 years old. She is music-lover and she is a good guitarist. In addition, she sometimes shows
me how to use the instrument, and we have fun. My smaller brother is now 8 years old. He is
quite active and loves playing soccer. Very often, we meet to play ball in the garden after school.

In the family, it would be gliding into different activities. On Saturdays and Sundays, we are
likely to have a stroll in the park or prepare meals together. We are also into watching movies
and board games. I treasure these moments because we can talk and have fun together.
3.

My family is most important to me. A family that we are very close to. I am from a family of
four: my dad, my mum, my younger sister, and me. We have a very friendly house, where we
always get together, especially on the weekends.

My dad is a very generous guy who is also a hardworking man. Despite his work as an engineer
when he is very busy with work, he always finds time to spend with us. He likes to play football
for fun, so usually, on Saturdays, he plays with his friends. Soon when he teaches me to play
together we hang out playing, which is quite funny. My mother is a teacher and she is the one
who cares for me the most. She is the one who helps me with schoolwork and she is the one who
always makes sure that I'm doing well in school. She is also a book reader and mostly spends
time with me and my sister, either telling us stories or helping us with our hobbies.

My younger sister is the new kid on the block, she is only 8 years old and is bursting with
liveliness. Her favorite thing to do is draw. We also spend the most time together, and she is
much younger, so we get along quite well.

4.

My family is the most important part of my life. Five-member family - my father, my mother,
my brother who is older than me, my sister who is younger than me, and finally myself. We
reside in a tiny but snug house and during weekends we get to spend a lot of quality time
together.

My father is a manager in a certain company. He is hardworking, but in his free time, he either
watches football or plays games with us. My mother is a nurse, and she is in charge of us all. As
she is so fond of cooking, we often help her in the kitchen. My elder brother, who is 15 years old,
prefers to play video games, listen to music, and watch movies. We sometimes play games
together, but he also likes to be on his own. My little sister is 6 years old. She is so imaginative
and she just paints pictures all the time. She also likes playing with her toys and telling stories.

We all love a weekend trip to the park and mostly when our nation’s climate is kind to us. We
also check out my grandparents, who live close, and spend nice times chatting with them.
TOPIC: FOOD AND DRINK

1.

Pizza is the ultimate food for me! It's my favorite food on earth, actually; with this much variety
of toppings, one can go on adding them up. I like white sauce margherita pizza with ripened
tomatoes and fresh creamy cheese and basil. But I also enjoy pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives,
among others. I usually do pizza with family or friends once a week.

Another food I enjoy is sushi, and it's light and healthy and packed with flavor. I particularly like
salmon nigiri and also California rolls with crab and avocado. It seems simple but special, and
each bite is a treat.

Coffee is my drink of choice, for sure - I can't start my day without it! I usually drink a cup of
black coffee in the morning. However, I do like the occasional cappuccino or latte with friends at
coffee shops. Coffee warms up and energizes my day.

In summer, I like making smoothies with things like bananas and strawberries. They taste
refreshing, healthy, and perfect for hot days. I sometimes add yogurt for a little more creaminess.

So really, pizza, sushi, coffee, and smoothies aren't just food and drink for me but happiness and
better days!

2.

Delicious food comes in many forms, but my favorite is fried rice. It’s simple and delicious. I
like to add chicken, shrimp, and spices, and I also enjoy it with vegetables like carrots and peas.
Fried rice is perfect for lunch or dinner, and it’s always a special meal when my family and I eat
together.

Another dish I really like is tacos. I enjoy adding toppings like cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Tacos are easy to make and very tasty. Sometimes, I make taco bowls with rice and beans, which
are also very good.

Lemonade is my favorite drink. I love its sweet and sour taste, and I usually drink it with my
meals or when I’m relaxing. It’s also fun to make lemonade at home using fresh lemons.

I also really like milkshakes, especially chocolate or vanilla. They are sweet and smooth, so I
often have one as a dessert after a meal. Drinking a milkshake with my friends is something I
always enjoy.

In short, fried rice, tacos, lemonade, and milkshakes are my favorite foods and drinks. They are
all simple, delicious, and make me happy when I share them with family and friends.
3.

Fried chicken is my favorite food. It’s crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside, and I like
the seasoning on it. I often take it along with some mashed potatoes or a salad. It’s a plain but
amazing dish, and I love eating it for lunch or dinner, mainly on weekends when we have family
meals.

Sandwiches are another food I like. I like making various types of sandwiches with bread,
cheese, ham, and vegetables. On other occasions, I pour some mayonnaise or mustard on it for
extra flavor. Sandwiches are easy to make, and they are great when I’m in a rush or just need a
bite.

Regarding drinks, my favorite one is orange juice. I am in love with the fresh and sweet taste,
and I drink it for breakfast every morning. Furthermore, I consume it during the day when
thirsty. Besides being rich in vitamins and nutrients, it is refreshing, especially in summer.

I also prefer drinking tea, especially green tea. It's both a tranquilizer and a disdain quencher. I
usually drink it after lunch or with dessert, and it has a soothing and refreshing effect.

4.

My favorite food is a dish called pho, which is a traditional Vietnamese soup. It’s made with rice
noodles, fresh herbs, and meat, usually beef or chicken. The soup has a rich, flavorful flavor
that’s cooked for a long time to make it taste amazing. I love it because it’s warm, healthy, and
very comforting, especially on cold days.

I enjoy having pho for breakfast or lunch. I like adding some lime, chili, and fresh basil leaves to
make it taste even better. The combination of the hot broth and soft noodles is just perfect, and it
makes me feel full and satisfied.

Pho is not just a delicious meal for me, but it also reminds me of spending time with my family.
We often go to a local restaurant together to enjoy it, and it’s one of my favorite dishes to share
with them.
TOPIC: HOMETOWN

1.

My hometown is an unpretentious small city called Vinh Long. It's a real peaceful area, with lots
of green spaces and parks. It is, of course, not a big city but it has everything we need like shops,
schools, and hospitals.

One of my favorite places in my hometown is the park. Park area has a lot of trees and flowers,
where people walk, run or just sit and relax. My family and I sometimes bring a picnic there on
the weekends and that's one of the things I enjoy most.

Also, you can enjoy some good restaurants in my hometown that serve different types of food,
but I am mad about going to a local bakery to buy fresh bread and cakes. Here the people are
friendly and they know each other, so it is like a big family.

Moreover, although my hometown is quite small, I am in love with it mainly because the place is
calm and the people are nice. It is a perfect place to live in, and I am satisfied and happy with my
life here. Although I like to see other cities when I am away, coming back to my hometown is
always a nice feeling and familiar one.

2.

My hometown is a small town called [Your Hometown], which is situated in the [name of the
region]. It's a quiet and peaceful place, and I really enjoy living here. The town is not that big,
but it offers everything I need, like shops, schools, and parks.

One of the best things about my hometown is the river that runs through the town. It is absolutely
stunning, and seldom does everyone pass by without having taken a stroll along or had a sitting
by it to relax. I like to go there with my friends and have a talk while the water flows over the
bridge.

There are only a few nice coffee shops and restaurants, where you can have a coffee or enjoy a
meal, but at least they are some of the most beautiful in the town. My favorite is a small cafe
around the corner of the town center where I sometimes come with my family.

Even though my hometown is small, it feels like a community because people here are friendly,
and we all know each other. I love that everyone takes care of one another, and there is always a
sense of safety. I feel lucky to live here, and although I like to visit big cities, I always look
forward to coming back to my hometown because it’s where I feel most at home.

3.

My hometown is a city called Vinh Long. It’s a busy city with lots of buildings, shops, and
restaurants. There are many people here, and it’s always full of life.
The public transport system is one of the things that is really attractive to me in my hometown.
City buses and trains that take the citizens of the city around quickly and comfortably. It is really
convenient for me as I do not need a car to go to school or to visit friends.

Moreover, my hometown has nice places to spend time during holidays. An exciting shopping
mall is the one that draws me to it like a magnet, thus making it my favorite place to be with my
friends. Our shared hobbies are shopping or just hanging around the food court while watching
movies. Additionally, the city has a park in which individuals can walk, run, or just relax. It's a
great place to spend time with family or enjoy nature.

Even though it is a busy city, there are numerous spots where you can recline and enjoy a
peaceful environment. I believe my town is the perfect combo of thrill and tranquility. I am so
glad to live here since there is always something to do and it seems like there is always
something new to find.
