WRITING

1. YOUR AMBITIONS AND DREAMS

My biggest dream is to become a successful journalist in the future. I have always loved writing
and telling interesting stories about the world around me. To achieve this ambition, I am studying
very hard at university every day, focusing on media and communication. I also practice writing
short articles for my personal blog to improve my writing and observation skills. Being a
journalist is not easy because it requires a lot of courage and hard work, but I believe that with
passion, I can do it. I want to travel to many different places to meet new people and share their
voices with everyone. Moreover, I hope to help society by providing honest information and
useful news to the public. This dream gives me the motivation to wake up and work hard every
morning. I will try my best to make my dream come true.

2. YOUR FREE TIME ACTIVITIES

In my free time, I enjoy doing many different activities to relax after a busy day. I usually listen
to pop music because it helps me reduce stress and feel more energetic. On weekends, I often go
to the park with my best friends to play badminton or take photos. Sometimes, I prefer staying at
home to read books or watch movies on Netflix with my family. Reading books is my favorite
hobby because it provides me with a lot of useful knowledge and widens my soul. These
activities not only help me stay healthy but also balance my life between work and relaxation. In
the future, I want to try new hobbies like swimming or painting to make my life more interesting.

3. YOUR IDEAL HOME

My ideal home would be a small, cozy house located in the peaceful countryside. It would have a
large garden in the front where I can plant many kinds of flowers and organic vegetables. The
house should have a lot of big windows to let in natural sunlight and fresh air every day. Inside,
there would be a modern kitchen and a comfortable living room with a big bookshelf. I want my
home to be decorated in white and blue to create a relaxing atmosphere for everyone. I would
also love to have a small porch where I can drink tea and watch the sunset every evening. Living
in a quiet place far from the noisy city would make me feel very happy and comfortable.

4. A MEMORABLE TRIP THAT YOU HAD

Last summer, I had a very memorable trip to Da Lat with my family. We stayed there for three
days and the weather was wonderfully cool and fresh. We visited many famous places such as
Xuan Huong Lake, the Flower Garden, and some local coffee shops with beautiful mountain
views. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the city and the friendly people there. We also
tried many delicious local dishes like grilled rice paper, hot soy milk, and fresh strawberries. This
 trip was special because it was a great time for my family to bond and create happy memories
together. We
took many beautiful photos to save these wonderful moments. I hope to visit Da Lat again soon
with my friends.
5. YOUR FUTURE PLAN(S)

My main plan for the near future is to change my daily habits and have a more scientific lifestyle.
First of all, I want to wake up early every morning to go jogging or do yoga for at least 30
minutes. This activity will help me feel more energetic and stay healthy throughout the day.
Secondly, I plan to improve my diet by eating more green vegetables and fruits while avoiding
fast food and sugary drinks. I will also make sure to drink at least two liters of water every day to
keep my body hydrated. Another important part of my plan is going to bed before 11 PM to get
enough sleep for my brain to recover. I will also try to reduce the time I spend using my
smartphone before sleeping and read a book instead. I believe that a healthy body leads to a
happy life, so I am very determined to keep these good habits. Following a scientific lifestyle will
help me work more effectively and reduce stress in the future.

6. ONE OF YOUR HAPPY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

One of my happiest childhood memories is flying kites with my grandfather in the countryside
every summer. Every afternoon after school, he would take me to a large rice field near our
house. He taught me how to make a beautiful kite from bamboo sticks and colorful paper. I still
remember the feeling of excitement when I saw my kite flying high in the clear blue sky. We
laughed a lot and enjoyed the cool breeze while watching the sunset together. Sometimes, we
even brought some small snacks to eat while sitting on the green grass. That simple activity made
me very happy and helped me feel closer to my grandfather. Even though many years have
passed, I always cherish that wonderful time in my heart.

7. ONE OF YOUR SPECIAL EVENTS

A special event in my life was my high school graduation ceremony last year. It was a day full of
emotions, including both great happiness and a bit of sadness. I felt very proud when I received
my diploma after three years of hard work and many exams. However, I also felt sad because I
had to say goodbye to my favorite teachers and classmates. We took many photos together to
save our beautiful youth moments and promised to keep in touch. In the evening, my family
organized a small party at home with many delicious dishes to celebrate my success. That event
marked an important turning point in my life as I started a new journey at university. I will
always remember that day as a beautiful milestone.
8. A FAMILY MEMBER YOU ARE CLOSEST TO
 The family member I am closest to is my mother, who is the most wonderful person in my life.
She is a very kind and patient woman who always takes care of everyone in the family with love.
Whenever I face difficulties or feel sad, she is the first person I want to talk to. She always listens
to me carefully and gives me the best advice to solve my problems. My mother is not only a
parent but also a great friend who understands my feelings. She taught me how to be strong,
honest, and how to treat others with kindness and respect. I love her very much and I am always
grateful for everything she has done for me. I hope I can make her proud of me one day.

9. A TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE DISH

Phở is one of the most famous and delicious traditional dishes in Vietnam that everyone should
try. It consists of soft rice noodles, a flavorful broth, and usually thin slices of beef or chicken.
The broth is the most important part, made by simmering bones with spices like cinnamon and
ginger for many hours. When you eat Phở, you can add fresh herbs, lime, and chili to make it
taste even better according to your preference. I usually have Phở for breakfast because it
provides me with enough energy for the whole morning. Most foreigners love Phở because of its
delicate taste and wonderful smell. For me, Phở is not just food, but a beautiful symbol of
Vietnamese culture. It connects people and brings the taste of home to everyone.

10. OUR LEARNING ENGLISH

Learning English is a very important part of my daily life and my future career. Nowadays,
English is a global language that helps me connect with people and cultures from all over the
world. I practice English every day by watching YouTube videos, listening to English podcasts,
and reading news. I also try to speak with my friends in English to improve my fluency and
confidence. At first, it was quite difficult to remember vocabulary and complex grammar rules,
but I never gave up on it. Now, I feel much more comfortable when I read English books or talk
to foreigners. Learning English opens up many great opportunities for my future job and travel
experiences. I believe that consistency and passion are the keys to mastering this language.

11. YOUR FAVOURITE OCCASION

My favorite occasion of the year is the Lunar New Year, which is also known as Tet holiday. It is
the most important traditional festival in Vietnam and a time for family reunions. Before Tet, I
usually help my parents decorate the house with peach blossoms and clean everything to
welcome the new year. During the holiday, we visit our relatives, go to the pagoda to pray for
luck, and enjoy special traditional food like Banh Chung. Children are often very excited because
they receive lucky money in red envelopes from adults. I love the warm and joyful atmosphere of
Tet because everyone forgets their worries and wishes for the best. It is a wonderful time to honor
our traditions and show love to our family members.
12. YOUR INTENTIONS AND WISHES

I have many intentions and wishes for the coming year to improve myself and my life. First, I
intend to take a professional English course to get a high score on the IELTS exam. This will help
me find a good job and open more doors for my career. Second, I wish to spend more quality time
with my family because they are the most important people to me. I also want to start a healthier
lifestyle by exercising every morning and eating more fruits and vegetables. Another wish is to
travel to a new place I have never been to before to explore different cultures. I believe that if I
work hard and stay positive, my wishes will eventually come true. These goals give me a clear
direction to follow.

13. YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECT AT HIGH SCHOOL

My favorite subject at high school was Physical Education, or P.E. for short. I loved this subject
because it allowed me to be active and stay healthy after long hours of sitting in class. During
P.E. lessons, we could play many different sports like football, badminton, and volleyball with
our classmates. These activities helped me reduce stress and feel more energetic every day.
Unlike other subjects like Math or Physics, P.E. did not have much homework or difficult exams,
so I always felt very relaxed. It was also a great time for me to talk and laugh with my friends on
the large playground. Our teacher was very supportive and always encouraged us to try our best
and improve our physical strength. I believe that playing sports is the best way to keep fit and
build teamwork skills. For me, P.E. was the most exciting part of the school day that I always
looked forward to.

14. A TIME WHEN YOU HAD A GREAT MEAL AT A RESTAURANT

Last month, I had a great meal at a seafood restaurant near the beach with my close friends. We
went there to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and the atmosphere was very lively and cozy.
We ordered many fresh dishes such as grilled shrimp, steamed crabs, and seafood fried rice. The
food was decorated beautifully and tasted absolutely delicious with a special sauce. The staff
there were very friendly and served us quickly, which made us feel very comfortable. We talked
and laughed a lot while enjoying the cool sea breeze and the sound of the waves. It was not only a
delicious meal but also a wonderful time to relax and strengthen our friendship. I will definitely
come back to that restaurant in the future.

15. A MEMORABLE JOURNEY YOU HAD

One of the most memorable journeys I ever had was a trip to Ha Long Bay two years ago. I went
there with a group of friends by bus, and we were all excited to see one of the natural wonders of
the world. We took a boat tour to visit famous caves and saw thousands of limestone islands
 rising from the clear blue water. The scenery was breathtaking and much more beautiful than in
the photos

I had seen before. We also tried kayaking and swimming in the cool water, which was a very fun
and exciting experience. In the evening, we stayed on a cruise and enjoyed a delicious seafood
dinner under the stars. That journey taught me a lot about nature and helped me relax after a long
time of studying.

16. ABOUT A GOAL THAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE

A goal that I really want to achieve in the next two years is to become fluent in English. I want to
be able to communicate naturally with foreigners and understand English movies without
subtitles. To achieve this goal, I have created a detailed study plan for myself every day. I spend
at least one hour practicing listening and speaking, and I also try to write a short diary in English.
I believe that mastering English will give me a huge advantage in my future career and help me
connect with the world. It is a challenging goal, but I am very determined and will not give up
until I succeed. Achieving this will make me feel more confident and proud of my hard work and
persistence.

17. SOMEONE WHO IS IMPORTANT TO YOU

Someone who is extremely important to me is my father. He is a hardworking and brave man

who has always been a great role model for me to follow. My father works very hard every day to
provide a good life for our family, but he always finds time to play with me. He is the one who
taught me how to ride a bicycle and how to be a responsible person in life. Whenever I have a
problem, he always gives me calm and wise advice to help me overcome it. I admire his strength
and his kind heart because he is always willing to help other people in need. I am very lucky to
have him as my father and I want to take care of him when he gets older.

18. A TIME WHEN YOU COOKED A TRADITIONAL FOOD

Last weekend, I had a chance to cook a traditional food called "Spring Rolls" for my family's
dinner. My mother guided me through every step, from preparing the ingredients to frying the
rolls until they were golden. We used minced pork, mushrooms, carrots, and glass noodles to
make the filling. Rolling the rice paper was a bit difficult at first, but I got better after a few tries.
When the spring rolls were fried, they looked very crispy and smelled wonderful. My whole
family enjoyed the meal together and they praised me for my cooking skills, which made me feel
very happy. This experience helped me understand more about Vietnamese cuisine and appreciate
the effort it takes to prepare a traditional meal.

19. SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE

 The person I admire the most is Nick Vujicic, a famous motivational speaker who was born
without arms and legs. Despite his physical disabilities, he has a very positive attitude toward life
and has achieved amazing things. He traveled around the world to share his story and inspire
millions of people to overcome their own difficulties. I admire him because he never complained
about his life and always focused on what he could do instead of what he couldn't. His story
taught me that nothing is impossible if you have enough courage and faith in yourself. Whenever
I feel discouraged or want to give up, I think of him to find the strength to keep going. He is a
true hero who proves that our spirit is much stronger than any physical limit.

20. A TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL IN YOUR COUNTRY

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most exciting traditional festivals in Vietnam, especially
for children. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month when the moon is at its fullest and
brightest. During the festival, children carry colorful lanterns and watch lion dances on the
streets. Families often gather together to enjoy mooncakes and drink hot tea while watching the
beautiful moon. I remember when I was small, my parents bought me a star-shaped lantern and
we walked around the neighborhood with other kids. The atmosphere is always very cheerful
with the sound of drums and traditional music everywhere. This festival is a great occasion for
family members to show their love and care for each other. It is a beautiful part of my childhood
that I will always cherish.
