Đề 2: Túp LỀU lý tưởng mà mình chưa mua được

An ambition I haven’t achieved yet is buying my dream house. I’ve been working hard and saving
money, but with the high cost of real estate, it feels like I’m still a long way off. My ideal house
wouldn’t need to be too fancy, but it should have a modern design and be surrounded by a
lovely garden. I really like the idea of having large windows to fill the house with natural light
and a cozy corner where I could relax and read. I’d also love to have a quiet patio where I could
enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while listening to the birds.
The reason why this house is perfect for me is that it would offer a peaceful retreat from the stress
and noise of daily life. Coming home to a quiet, nature-filled environment would be a
great way to unwind and recharge after a long day. Plus, I’ve always dreamed of having a garden
where I can grow my own vegetables and flowers, which would not only be a rewarding hobby
but also a way to live more sustainably.
For now, I’m working on saving more and making a clear plan to achieve this goal. With
determination and a bit of luck, I hope to turn this dream into reality soon.

Đề 3: Sửa giúp a cái đồng hồ mà bạn a tặng Nha

A few months ago, I had to fix my favorite watch, which suddenly stopped working after I
accidentally dropped it. The watch held a lot of sentimental value for me because it was a gift from
a close friend, so I didn’t want to replace it. After the fall, it wouldn’t tick anymore, and to make
matters worse, the glass face had developed a small crack. I felt really upset because this watch
was not only an important accessory but also a keepsake.
Instead of taking it to a shop for repairs, I decided to give it a shot and fix it myself. I watched a few
how-to videos online and bought a basic repair kit. When I opened the back of the watch, I
discovered that a small gear had come loose. It took me several tries, but eventually, I managed
to tighten the gear and replace the cracked glass with a new one I ordered online. Although the
process was a bit tricky and required a lot of patience, I found it to be a rewarding challenge.
When the watch started working again, I felt really proud of myself. Not only did I save money, but
I also gained a new skill. Fixing it by myself gave me a great sense of achievement, and now,
every time I wear the watch, I feel an even stronger connection to it because of the effort I put
into restoring it.

My parents and I worked together to plan everything, from choosing the theme to
decorating the house. My brother loves superheroes, so we decided to throw him a superhero-
themed party.
I was in charge of setting up the decorations and making sure the place looked perfect. We had
balloons, banners, and a big cake with his favorite superhero on it. I also helped organize some
fun games for the kids, like a treasure hunt and pin the cape on the superhero. My little brother
was so excited, and seeing him smile made all the hard work worth it.
On the day of the party, my brother was over the moon. He was surrounded by his friends, and

I vividly remember a discussion I had with a close friend a couple of years ago. We were talking
about the importance of self-improvement and how it affects our personal and professional
lives. During that conversation, my friend shared a story about his father, who had faced many
challenges throughout his life. His father once lost his job unexpectedly due to company
downsizing, which put their family in a difficult financial situation. Despite the hardship, his
father refused to give up and kept searching for new opportunities.
My friend told me that his father always believed in the saying, "When one door closes, another
opens." After months of persistence, his father found a new job that ended up being better than
the previous one, and this experience taught him the value of resilience and optimism.
This conversation left a deep impression on me because it taught me a valuable life lesson:
perseverance and positivity can turn setbacks into opportunities. I remember feeling inspired by the
way my friend’s father turned a major obstacle into a stepping stone. Since then, I’ve
adopted the same positive mindset in my life, helping me face challenges with more confidence.

This question reminds me of someone in particular – her name is Ms. Lan, and she’s a renowned
doctor in my city.
I met her when I moved to a new apartment, so I could live closer to my workplace. My first
impression of her was that she was a kind and approachable elderly lady, probably in her sixties.
She had some gray hair and gentle wrinkles on her face, clearly showing her age. I was over the
moon when I finally settled into my new place, and to get to know my neighbors better, I
decided to bake some cakes to give them.
After that, Ms. Lan invited me over for tea, and we had a delightful conversation. She asked me
about my family, my job, and my hobbies, and we bonded quickly in a cozy atmosphere. I
noticed a shelf in her living room filled with medical books, cookery books, and self-help
guides. A portrait on her wall seemed familiar to me, so I asked her about it, and to my surprise,
I realized I had followed her on social media for a long time. Ms. Lan has dedicated her life to
saving children with heart conditions and shares her vast knowledge with the community. I
admire her deeply for this. During our chat, she also gave me some incredibly helpful advice

the design on the shirt perfectly matched his personality. It featured a small graphic of a
mountain range with the words "Adventure Awaits" printed in white on the front.
I chose this t-shirt not only because of its design but also because it was made of high-quality cotton,
which is soft and comfortable. My friend always appreciates clothing that’s both
practical and stylish, and I wanted to get him something that he could wear casually but still look
good in.
I bought the shirt while we were on a trip together, and I thought it would be a meaningful gift
because it would remind him of our adventures. When I gave it to him, he was thrilled, and he’s

One of the most memorable things I received without paying for it was a homemade cake from my
neighbor. It happened on my birthday last year when I had just moved into a new
apartment. I didn’t know many people in the building, so I wasn’t expecting any visitors or gifts.
However, to my surprise, my next-door neighbor, who I had only spoken to a few times,
knocked on my door with a beautifully decorated cake.
The cake was a simple vanilla sponge cake with creamy frosting and fresh strawberries on top. It
wasn’t anything extravagant, but the fact that she took the time to bake it herself made it
incredibly special to me. I was over the moon because it was such a kind and thoughtful gesture,
especially since we barely knew each other at that time.

Đề 10: không là máy tính, không là điện thoại thì chỉ có thể là xe máy.

One invention that has truly changed the world is the motorbike, and I personally can’t
imagine my life without mine. My motorbike is a regular, sturdy model in a classic blue color.
It’s not flashy or high-end, but it’s extremely reliable and always gets me where I need to go.
The engine runs smoothly, and it’s quite fuel-efficient, which is really helpful in saving money
on gas. The seat is comfortable, and there’s even a small storage compartment under the seat,
where I can keep my helmet or small bags.
I use it every single day, whether I’m commuting to work, running errands, or just going out to
meet friends. Without my motorbike, I’d be stuck in traffic all the time or have to rely on
buses, which aren’t always on time. The freedom it gives me is unmatched, especially in a
busy city where parking is a nightmare and getting around quickly is essential.
To me, my motorbike is more than just a vehicle—it’s a crucial part of my daily life. It offers

One of my favorite activities to stay fit and healthy is taking long walks every week, especially in
the mountains near my hometown. I make it a point to hike through the forest trails for a couple
of hours, as it not only helps me stay in shape but also gives me a mental refresh. The fresh air
and peaceful surroundings make it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
I usually go early in the morning when the air is crisp, and the sunlight gently filters through the
trees. The path I take is moderately challenging, with a mix of steep climbs and gentle slopes,
which gives my legs a good workout. Walking on such varied terrain helps me build
endurance and strengthens my muscles. Plus, the feeling of reaching the top of a hill and
seeing the breathtaking view makes all the effort worth it.
This weekly walk has become a routine for me, and it’s one of the best ways I’ve found to stay
healthy, both physically and mentally. It keeps me active, helps me clear my mind, and gives
me the chance to enjoy nature.

Đề 12: còn gì khác ngoài việc e phải đi học tiếng anh

The Internet and my smartphone have significantly transformed my English learning journey,
making it both enjoyable and effective. I often explore free websites, watch instructional videos on
YouTube, and listen to English podcasts. These resources help boost my vocabulary, expose me
to various accents and idiomatic expressions, and deepen my understanding of the language in
diverse contexts.
My smartphone is an essential tool in this process. I use language-learning apps for daily
practice, which allow me to review grammar, build vocabulary, and even compare my speech
with native speakers. Daily reminders keep me on track, while online communities offer real-
time conversations that boost both my confidence and fluency.
By combining these online resources with mobile technology, I’ve created an engaging and
progressive learning routine. This approach not only makes English learning more accessible but
also continually inspires me to improve and reach new milestones in our ever-evolving digital
world.

Từ vựng nâng cao:

1. Transform – biến đổi hoàn toàn

2. Instructional videos – video hướng dẫn

3. Expose (someone) to – giúp ai đó tiếp cận với điều gì

Đề 13: Đi học phải mặc đồng phục nóng điên

One rule I didn’t like during my school years was the strict dress code. We had to wear the same
uniform every day, which often felt uncomfortable and restrictive. No room for personal
expression was allowed, as even small accessories like a bracelet or colorful socks were
considered against the rules. On special occasions, when most students wanted to wear something
different to feel more festive, we were still required to stick to the uniform.
I always thought this rule was unnecessary because it seemed to suppress our individuality. While I
understand the intention behind it, such as promoting equality and reducing distractions, it took
away the chance for students to express themselves. A little flexibility, like allowing different
outfits on certain days or giving us more options for accessories, would have made a big
difference.
I believe a more relaxed approach would have allowed students to feel more comfortable and
confident in expressing themselves while still maintaining order in school. Personal expression
plays an important role in building self-esteem, and this rule limited that opportunity for many
students.

Từ vựng nâng cao:

1. Dress code – quy định về trang phục

2. Restrictive – mang tính ràng buộc

3. Individuality – cá tính riêng

4. Accessories – phụ kiện

5. Equality – sự bình đẳng

6. Distractions – sự sao lãng

8. Self-esteem – lòng tự tôn


Đề 14: Đồ chơi truyền thống thì chỉ có thể là diều

One of the most cherished toys from my childhood is the paper kite. In Vietnam, flying kites is a
traditional pastime, especially during the summer months when the skies are clear and winds
are favorable. What made my kite special was that it was handcrafted by my grandfather, using
simple materials like bamboo sticks and colorful paper.
The frame of the kite was made from thin, flexible bamboo, which he carefully shaped and tied
together with string. Then, he glued vibrant paper onto the frame, creating a beautiful kite that
could soar through the sky. I remember watching him work, fascinated by how something so
simple could turn into such a beautiful and functional toy.
Every weekend, we would go to the fields near our village to fly the kite. The feeling of running
with the string in hand, watching the kite dance and glide in the wind, was pure joy. It wasn’t
just about the kite itself, but the bonding moments I shared with my grandfather, who taught me
the importance of patience and craftsmanship through this simple activity. Though I’ve
outgrown kite flying, the memories of those days and the lessons I learned have stayed with
me.

Từ vựng nâng cao:

1. Paper kite – diều giấy

2. Traditional pastime – thú vui truyền thống

3. Bamboo sticks – thanh tre

4. Handcrafted – được làm thủ công

Đề 16: Xài app nhắc nhở tới lúc đóng tiền góp nha

The most positive change in my life recently that has helped me save time and focus better is
using a reminder app to manage important tasks. Before, I often forgot deadlines or delayed
work because I didn’t have a clear system for organizing my day. However, since I started using

This past Valentine’s Day was truly unforgettable, not just because I was spending it with my
boyfriend, but also due to the unexpected surprise he had planned for me. We started the day
normally, exchanging sweet gifts and enjoying each other's company. Then, in the evening, he
took me to a cozy restaurant I had never heard of before. It wasn’t fancy, but it had a unique,
intimate atmosphere that made the night feel special.
When we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly, and I quickly realized this wasn’t just a regular dinner
– my boyfriend had arranged a private meal just for the two of us. The table was beautifully set
with candles, and the menu featured my favorite dishes. I was so touched that he had gone out of

One of the most significant lake in Vietnam is Tri An lake, loacted in Dong Nai province. It was
created as a reservoir for Tri An Hydroelectricity power plant and is roughly 323 square
kilometer in size. This lake is surrounded by verdant forests and hills, giving a peaceful
atmosphere. The water in Tri An is clear and fresh, there are many small islands scattered
around adding to its natural beauty.

Trị An Lake is extremely important for my country for several reasons. First, it provides a crucial
source of electricity for the region through the hydroelectric power plant, helping to support the
national energy grid. Second, the lake plays an essential role in irrigating nearby agricultural
land, benefiting farmers by ensuring they have enough water for their crops. Lastly, it’s a
