Talk about your online identities

"My online identity is important to me because I use it every day. My favorite social media
platform is Facebook. I use it to connect with my family and friends, especially those who live
far away. I also join groups about my hobbies, like cooking and traveling. Facebook helps me
stay updated with their lives and share my own experiences.

I think online identities are very useful today. They allow us to work, study, and communicate
easily. However, I’m also careful with what I share online. For example, I don’t post personal
information like my address or phone number. I also use strong passwords to keep my accounts
safe.

Sometimes, managing online identities can be stressful because we spend too much time online.
That’s why I try to limit my screen time. I believe using social media in a smart way can make
our lives better

2. Talk about one of your hobbies that you had in the past

"When I was younger, I really enjoyed drawing. I loved creating pictures of animals, trees, and
people. It was a way for me to relax and express my creativity. I remember spending hours with
my sketchbook after school.

However, as I got older, I became too busy with my studies, so I stopped drawing. Even though I
don’t draw much now, I still have some of my old sketches. Looking at them makes me happy
and reminds me of a peaceful time in my life.

I think hobbies are very important because they help us feel relaxed and happy. In the future, I
would like to try photography because I enjoy capturing beautiful moments. Maybe it can
become a new hobby for me."

My goal in the future is to study abroad. I want to go to a country like the United States,
Australia, or Canada because they have excellent education systems and many opportunities to
learn new things. Studying abroad will help me improve my English and experience a different
culture. I think it will also help me become more independent and confident.

To achieve this goal, I need to prepare carefully. First, I study hard to get good grades in school.
Second, I practice English every day, especially speaking and writing, because I need to pass
tests like IELTS. I also research universities and programs that suit my interests.

I know studying abroad can be expensive, so I plan to apply for scholarships and work part-time
to support myself. Although this goal is challenging, I believe it is worth the effort. Studying
abroad will not only help me with my education but also open many doors for my future career."

"Before an interview, preparation is very important. First, I research the company or school
where I will have the interview. I want to understand their values and what they expect from
candidates. This helps me feel confident when answering their questions.

Next, I practice answering common interview questions, such as 'What are your strengths and
weaknesses?' or 'Why do you want this position?' I prepare examples from my experience to
show that I am the right person for the job.

I also prepare my resume and make sure it is clean and professional. On the day of the interview,
I wear formal clothes and arrive early to show that I am responsible. I try to stay calm and smile
during the interview. These preparations help me feel more confident and make a good
impression on the interviewer."

Talk about a person who helped you reach your goal


"Once, I wanted to improve my English speaking skills, and my best friend, Linh, helped me a
lot. Linh is very good at English and encouraged me to practice with her every day. We spent
about 30 minutes speaking in English about topics like school and hobbies.

She was patient and corrected my mistakes. She also taught me new words and helped me with
pronunciation. Sometimes, she shared English songs and videos to make learning fun. Thanks to
her support, I became more confident and did well in my English exams. I will always be
grateful to Linh for helping me achieve this goal."

Talk about a time when you worked in a team


"Last year, I worked in a team to create a poster about saving the environment. There were four
people in my group, and we divided the tasks. I searched for pictures, others wrote the content,
designed the poster, and presented it.

We met to share ideas and check each other’s work. At first, it was hard to agree, but we listened
and found solutions. In the end, our project was successful, and we got a high score. This
teamwork experience taught me how to cooperate and solve problems together."

Talk about the habit(s) that you have changed

English Version:
"I used to have a bad habit of going to bed very late. I often stayed up past midnight, playing
games or watching videos on my phone. Because of this, I felt very tired during the day and
couldn’t focus in class.

One day, my teacher talked about the importance of sleep. I realized I needed to change my
habit. I started going to bed at 10 p.m. and stopped using my phone before sleep. Instead, I read
books or listened to soft music to relax.
At first, it was hard, but after a few weeks, I felt much better. I had more energy and could focus
better at school. Now, I try to sleep 7-8 hours every night. Changing my sleeping habit taught me
that small changes can make a big difference. In the future, I want to wake up earlier to start my
day with exercise or study."

One piece of art that impressed me is the painting "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci. I saw it
when I visited a museum, and it was very famous. The painting shows a woman with a small
smile, and she is sitting in front of a calm background. What I like about this painting is how
peaceful and quiet it looks. The woman's smile is very mysterious. I can look at it for a long time
and feel that she is thinking about something. The background is simple, but it looks very
beautiful. I think this painting is special because it makes me feel calm and curious at the same
time. "Mona Lisa" is one of the most famous paintings in the world, and it shows how art can
make us think and feel different emotions.

Vietnamese Translation:

Một tác phẩm nghệ thuật đã làm tôi ấn tượng là bức tranh "Mona Lisa" của Leonardo da Vinci.
Tôi đã nhìn thấy nó khi thăm một bảo tàng, và bức tranh này rất nổi tiếng. Bức tranh vẽ một
người phụ nữ với nụ cười nhẹ, và cô ấy đang ngồi trước một cảnh nền yên bình. Điều tôi thích về
bức tranh này là nó trông rất bình yên và tĩnh lặng. Nụ cười của người phụ nữ rất bí ẩn. Tôi có
thể nhìn nó lâu và cảm thấy như cô ấy đang suy nghĩ điều gì đó. Cảnh nền đơn giản, nhưng rất
đẹp. Tôi nghĩ bức tranh này đặc biệt vì nó khiến tôi cảm thấy bình tĩnh và tò mò cùng một lúc.
"Mona Lisa" là một trong những bức tranh nổi tiếng nhất thế giới, và nó cho thấy nghệ thuật có
thể khiến chúng ta suy nghĩ và cảm nhận nhiều cảm xúc khác nhau.

1. Talk about a place or a country you would like to live in the future:

I would really like to live in Japan in the future. Japan is a country with many interesting things.
The people there are very polite, and the culture is very rich. I love Japanese food, especially
sushi, ramen, and tempura. The country is also very clean, and the transportation system is very
good. I would like to live in a big city like Tokyo or Kyoto. In Tokyo, there are many places to
visit, like temples, museums, and parks. I could also enjoy shopping and trying different types of
food. Kyoto is famous for its beautiful traditional temples and gardens. It would be wonderful to
experience both modern and traditional life in Japan. I think living in Japan would be an exciting
experience.

2. Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of living in a suburb:

Living in a suburb has several advantages. First, it is usually much quieter than the city. There
are fewer cars and less noise, so it is a peaceful place to live. It is also safer for children to play
outside because there is less traffic. The air is cleaner, and you can enjoy more green spaces.
However, there are also some disadvantages. One of the biggest problems is that public
transportation is not as good as in the city. You may need to drive a car to get around. Also, there
are fewer shops, restaurants, and entertainment places. This can make it feel a bit boring,
especially if you like being in a busy area. Finally, it can take longer to travel to work or school
from a suburb.

Vietnamese Translation:

1. Nói về một nơi hoặc một quốc gia mà bạn muốn sống trong tương lai:

Tôi thực sự muốn sống ở Nhật Bản trong tương lai. Nhật Bản là một quốc gia có rất nhiều điều
thú vị. Người dân ở đó rất lịch sự, và văn hóa của họ rất phong phú. Tôi rất thích món ăn Nhật,
đặc biệt là sushi, ramen và tempura. Quốc gia này cũng rất sạch sẽ, và hệ thống giao thông rất
tốt. Tôi muốn sống ở một thành phố lớn như Tokyo hoặc Kyoto. Ở Tokyo có rất nhiều nơi để
tham quan, như các đền, bảo tàng và công viên. Tôi cũng có thể thưởng thức mua sắm và thử các
món ăn khác nhau. Kyoto nổi tiếng với những ngôi đền và vườn truyền thống đẹp. Tôi nghĩ sẽ
thật tuyệt vời khi trải nghiệm cả cuộc sống hiện đại và truyền thống ở Nhật Bản. Tôi nghĩ rằng
sống ở Nhật Bản sẽ là một trải nghiệm thú vị.

2. Nói về ưu điểm và nhược điểm khi sống ở vùng ngoại ô:

Sống ở vùng ngoại ô có một số ưu điểm. Thứ nhất, nó thường yên tĩnh hơn rất nhiều so với thành
phố. Có ít xe cộ và ít tiếng ồn, vì vậy đây là một nơi sống rất bình yên. Nó cũng an toàn hơn cho
trẻ em chơi ngoài trời vì có ít xe hơn. Không khí trong lành hơn và bạn có thể tận hưởng nhiều
không gian xanh. Tuy nhiên, cũng có một số nhược điểm. Một trong những vấn đề lớn nhất là
giao thông công cộng không tốt như ở thành phố. Bạn có thể cần phải lái xe ô tô để di chuyển.
Ngoài ra, ở vùng ngoại ô có ít cửa hàng, nhà hàng và các nơi giải trí hơn. Điều này có thể khiến
bạn cảm thấy hơi buồn tẻ, đặc biệt nếu bạn thích sống trong một khu vực sầm uất. Cuối cùng,
bạn có thể phải mất nhiều thời gian hơn để đi làm hoặc đi học từ vùng ngoại ô.
