A TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL IN YOUR COUNTRY OR

CULTURE

Vietnam has many traditional festivals, but my favorite is Tet Holiday, also known
as Lunar New Year. It is the most important festival in Vietnam and usually takes
place between January and February.

Before Tet, people clean and decorate their houses, buy new clothes, and prepare
traditional foods such as banh chung. Families also buy flowers and trees to make
their homes look beautiful. During Tet, family members gather together to
celebrate the new year. Children receive lucky money from adults, and everyone
wishes each other good health, happiness, and success.

Tet is not only a time for celebration but also an opportunity for people to
remember their ancestors and strengthen family relationships. Many people who
work or study far from home return to spend time with their families.

In my opinion, Tet is a meaningful festival because it helps preserve Vietnamese

culture and brings people closer together. That is why it is my favorite traditional
festival.

important topic to the class. We spent several days preparing the content, creating
slides, and practicing our speaking skills.

At first, I felt nervous because I was not confident speaking in front of many
people. However, my teammates encouraged me and helped me prepare carefully.

WRITING 13. SHOPPING ONLINE OR AT THE SHOPS

Nowadays, people can choose between shopping online and shopping at traditional
stores. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages.

Online shopping is very convenient. People can buy products anytime and
anywhere without leaving their homes. It also allows customers to compare prices
easily and find a wider variety of products. However, online shopping has some
disadvantages because customers cannot check product quality directly before
purchasing.

On the other hand, shopping at stores allows customers to see and try products
before buying them. They can also receive assistance from sales staff immediately.
However, going to stores may take more time and effort.

Personally, I prefer online shopping because it saves time and offers greater
convenience. Nevertheless, for expensive or important products, I still prefer
shopping at physical stores.

In conclusion, both forms of shopping are useful, and people can choose the
method that best suits their needs.

entertain viewers.

I enjoy this show because it helps me relax after studying. The members have great
personalities, and their teamwork makes the program interesting. In addition, the
show sometimes introduces different places and cultures, allowing viewers to learn
new things.

often laugh together while watching the funny challenges.

enjoyable, and suitable for people of different ages.

WRITING 15. CHALLENGES IN LEARNING NEW LANGUAGES

Learning a new language can be both interesting and challenging. Many learners
face difficulties during the learning process.

One common challenge is vocabulary. It can be difficult to remember a large

number of new words and use them correctly. Another challenge is pronunciation.
Some sounds may not exist in a learner's native language, making them hard to
pronounce.

Grammar is also a major difficulty because different languages have different

rules. In addition, many learners lack opportunities to practice speaking with native
speakers, which slows down their progress.

To overcome these challenges, learners should practice regularly, watch movies,

listen to music, and communicate with others in the target language. Patience and
persistence are also important.

In conclusion, learning a new language requires effort and dedication, but the
benefits make it worthwhile.

WRITING 16. GIVING ADVICE ON HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH

EFFECTIVELY

English is an important international language, and learning it effectively requires

First, students should practice English every day. Even spending a short amount of
time studying regularly is better than studying for many hours only occasionally.
Second, learners should improve their vocabulary by reading books, newspapers,
and online articles.

Listening is another important skill. Watching English movies, listening to

podcasts, and listening to songs can help learners become familiar with
pronunciation and natural expressions. In addition, speaking practice is essential.
Students should try to communicate in English whenever possible.

Finally, learners should not be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are a natural
part of the learning process and provide opportunities for improvement.

In conclusion, regular practice, vocabulary building, listening, speaking, and

confidence are the keys to learning English effectively.

individuals can prepare for unexpected situations and reduce financial stress.

At the same time, spending money is necessary for daily needs such as food,
transportation, and education. However, people should avoid unnecessary
purchases and think carefully before buying expensive items.

WRITING 20. GIVING ADVICE ON MONEY SAVING AND SPENDING

Managing money wisely is an important life skill. Here are some useful pieces of
advice for saving and spending money effectively.
First, people should create a monthly budget. A budget helps track income and
expenses and prevents unnecessary spending. Second, it is important to save a
portion of income regularly, even if the amount is small. Consistent saving can
build financial security over time.

Another useful tip is to distinguish between needs and wants. Before buying
something, people should ask themselves whether the purchase is truly necessary.
This can help reduce impulsive spending.

In addition, people should compare prices and look for discounts before making
purchases. This can save a significant amount of money in the long run.

In conclusion, careful budgeting, regular saving, thoughtful spending, and smart

shopping habits are effective ways to manage money successfully and achieve
financial goals.
