THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAY TO REDUCE CLOTHING WASTE
Today, I would like to talk about a very important issue in our daily lives: how to reduce
clothing waste.
Clothing waste has become a serious problem nowadays. We buy more, use less, and dispose of
faster. This not only affects our wallets but also has a significant impact on the environment.
Therefore, it is crucial that we find ways to reduce clothing waste.
First, we can start by controlling our shopping habits. Instead of buying unnecessary items, we
should focus on purchasing high-quality and durable products. By doing this, we can save money
in the long run and reduce the amount of waste we produce.
Second, buying second-hand clothing is a great way to reduce waste. Second-hand shops offer
unique and quality items at a lower price. Plus, shopping for second-hand clothing helps to
protect the environment by reducing the demand for new products.
Third, we can reuse and recycle old clothes instead of throwing them away. For example, we can
turn an old shirt into a bag, or old jeans into shorts. This not only gives new life to old clothes
but also helps to reduce waste.
Lastly, let's be creative and find our own ways to reduce clothing waste. We can organize
clothing swap events with friends or learn about local clothing recycling projects. By doing this,
we can make a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to do the same.
In conclusion, reducing clothing waste is an important issue that requires our attention and
action. By changing our shopping habits, buying second-hand clothing, reusing and recycling old
clothes, and being creative, we can make a difference.

Question: Next summer you will have a vacation for 3 months. Which of the following places
would you choose to go: a beautiful beach, a mountain, or the countryside?
Answer:
For my three-month vacation next summer, I would choose to go to a beautiful beach.
Reason for Choosing the Beach: I love the beach because it offers a relaxing and refreshing
environment. The sound of the waves and the feeling of the soft sand under my feet make me
feel calm and happy. Additionally, the beach provides many fun activities such as swimming,
snorkeling, and sunbathing. Spending time at the beach is a great way to recharge and escape
from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Reason for Not Choosing the Mountain: Although mountains are beautiful and offer
breathtaking views, I prefer a more relaxed vacation. Climbing and hiking can be physically
demanding, and I want to take it easy during my three-month break. The beach allows me to
unwind without putting too much strain on my body.
Reason for Not Choosing the Countryside: The countryside is peaceful and has its own charm,
but I feel that it might become monotonous after a while. I enjoy having a variety of activities to
do, and the beach offers more options for entertainment and leisure. The countryside might be
too quiet and isolated for my taste.
PART III: TOPIC DEVELOPMENT
Today, I would like to talk about why playing sports is beneficial for young people.
Playing sports is very important because it helps young people in many ways. First of all, it helps
improve health. When you play sports, you move your body a lot, which makes you stronger
and healthier. Regular exercise can help prevent many health problems, such as obesity and heart
disease.
Secondly, playing sports helps young people meet more people. When you join a sports team or
club, you can make new friends and socialize with others who share the same interests. This can
help you build strong relationships and improve your communication skills.
Thirdly, playing sports can increase confidence. When you play well and achieve goals in
sports, you feel proud of yourself and more confident in your abilities. This self-confidence can
help you in other areas of your life, such as school and work.
Finally, playing sports teaches important life skills. For example, it teaches teamwork,
discipline, and perseverance. These skills are valuable not only in sports but also in everyday
life.
In conclusion, playing sports is very beneficial for young people. It helps improve health, meet
more people, increase confidence, and teaches important life skills. I encourage all young people
to participate in sports and enjoy the many benefits it offers.

PART II: SOLUTION DISCUSSION
Today, I would like to talk about choosing a part-time job to practice English.
The three options are a telephone operator, a hotel receptionist, and a tutor. After careful
consideration, I have decided that I would choose to be a hotel receptionist.
Reasons for Choosing to Be a Hotel Receptionist: I find being a hotel receptionist interesting
because it allows me to interact with people from different countries. This job provides many
opportunities to speak and improve my English with various guests. Additionally, I can learn
about different cultures and customs, which is very exciting and enriching.
Reasons for Not Choosing to Be a Telephone Operator: Although being a telephone operator
can help improve my English speaking skills, I prefer a job that allows face-to-face interaction. A
telephone operator mainly communicates over the phone, which limits the chance to engage in
non-verbal communication.
Reasons for Not Choosing to Be a Tutor: Being a tutor is rewarding, but I want to focus on
improving my own English skills. As a tutor, I would spend a lot of time preparing lessons and
helping students, which might not give me enough time to practice and improve my English.
In conclusion, for a part-time job to practice English, I would choose to be a hotel receptionist.
This job provides many opportunities to speak and improve my English, interact with people
from different countries, and develop valuable communication skills.

challenging, but there are several ways to do it effectively.
Joining a Group or a Club: One of the best ways to make new friends is by joining a group or a
club that interests you. This can be a sports team, a book club, or a hobby group. By participating
in activities you enjoy, you will meet people who share the same interests, making it easier to
form connections and build friendships.
Attending Parties: Another way to make friends is by attending parties. Parties are great social
events where you can meet many new people in a relaxed and fun environment. Don’t be shy to
introduce yourself and start conversations. You never know, you might find someone with similar
interests and start a new friendship.
Taking a Class: Taking a class is also an excellent way to make friends. Whether it’s a language
course, a cooking class, or a dance lesson, you will meet people who want to learn the same
things as you. This shared goal can help you bond with others and develop lasting friendships.
[Your Own Idea(s)]: Lastly, be creative and find your own ways to make friends. For example,
you could volunteer for a local charity or participate in community events. These activities allow
you to interact with others while contributing to a good cause.

experiences. Whether it’s joining a group or a club, attending parties, taking a class, or finding
your own ways, there are many opportunities to meet new people and build friendships.

Today, I would like to talk about the most comfortable place to live for a
family with children. The three options are a large city, a small town, and a quiet village.
After careful consideration, I have decided that I would choose to live in a small town.
Reasons for Choosing a Small Town: I find a small town to be the most comfortable place for a
family with children because it offers a balance between convenience and tranquility. Small
towns have all the necessary facilities like schools, parks, and healthcare centers, while also
providing a peaceful environment. Children can grow up in a safe and friendly community,
where everyone knows each other. Additionally, small towns often have less traffic and pollution
compared to large cities, making it a healthier place for children to live.
Reasons for Not Choosing a Large City: Large cities can be hectic and stressful. The cost of
living is usually higher, and the traffic congestion can be overwhelming. The fast-paced lifestyle
might not be the best choice for a family with children.
Reasons for Not Choosing a Quiet Village: Quiet villages might lack essential facilities and
services. They can be quite isolated, and access to good schools, healthcare, and recreational
activities might be limited. This lack of convenience might not be ideal for a family with
children.
In conclusion, for a family with children, I would choose to live in a small town. It offers the
right balance of convenience, safety, and a peaceful environment, making it the most comfortable
place for a family to live.
