1. An invention that you think that useful to human

One invention that I find incredibly useful to humans is the Internet. It
has revolutionized the way we communicate, access information, and conduct business. The
Internet was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, in
1989. Since then, it has become an indispensable part of our lives.

The Internet is incredibly useful to people in various ways. It connects people from all around
the world, allowing us to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues through
email, social media, and video calls. It has made the world a smaller place,
bridging geographical gaps and fostering cultural exchange.

Moreover, the Internet provides a vast amount of information at our fingertips. We can search
for any topic and find articles, videos, and research papers instantly. It has transformed the
way we learn, enabling access to educational resources and online courses.

As for me, the Internet is incredibly useful. It allows me to stay connected with loved ones,
access information for my studies, and even work remotely. It has made my life more
convenient and efficient.

2. A holiday that you’re planning to take.

When it comes to a holiday of a lifetime that I would like to have in the future, a
journey with my family to Da Lat city in 2 days 1 night is my first choice.
This city is a tourist attraction located in the south of Vietnam. As I have read on
many articles about this city, it has a really peaceful atmosphere, the pace of life is quite slow
and local people are so friendly and cosmopolitan. Therefore, I really want to have a chance
paying a visit to this place with my family.
About my itinerary if this dream comes true, when we come here, we can have a
valuable chance to go sightseeing and enjoy the stunning beauty of this mountainous city. We
will go to Da Lat flower garden which has gained its reputation for a variety of flowers from
the light pink of lotus to the striking red of roses. Furthermore, the local dishes are so special,
so we will also spend some time sampling them. At night, we can go for a walk to local
market to experience the nightlife here and buy some souvenirs for our relatives and friends.
To me, visiting Da Lat is my dream because of two main reasons. Firstly, the place
we plan to go to is extremely beautiful and we can enjoy a different atmosphere as well as
lifestyle in a different place. We can escape from the hustle and bustle of the rat race in
Hanoi. Secondly, it would be a chance for our family to reunite after a long year to gain
a close-knit relationship.
However, finance seems to be a problem to my now, so I’m working my fingers to
the bone to make our plan come true.

 Cosmopolitan: khắp thế giới, nhiều nền văn hóa khác nhau.
 Itinerary: lịch trình, lịch trình
 Stunning beauty: vẻ đẹp tuyệt vời
 Striking red: màu đỏ nổi bật

3. A hotel ou have you stayed in.

I was born in Ho Chi Minh City. When I was young, I went with my parents to Hanoi
for work and stayed at Amira Hotel Hanoi.
The hotel is located near Noi Bai airport, is one of the most luxurious and beautiful
hotels in the entire city, a 4-star hotel with full modern facilities. It 36 rooms, 1 common hall
and 1 garden. Most modern amenities are accumulated at the hotel for customers. The
services have reached a high level while the accommodation system seems to be one of the
best. The hotel is always crowded with tourists and most of them are tourists from different
countries. The environment is friendly and warm and the treatment as a guest or individual is
truly lovely. The hotel is a business run by family members and therefore the values of the
aristocratic family are reflected in the staff and crew. Staying at the hotel was really relaxing
for me.
Amira Hotel Hanoi has most modern facilities. The entire hotel building is covered
by a central cooling system. There are many services here: Free use of fitness center, Free
Internet access, 24/24 service, Spa, bar, Free breakfast, Seafood, Hotpot, Coffee and fruit
juices ; And many other services.
The rooms are top class with some exceptional and stunning furniture. The staff and
crew members are really friendly with their service. They always smile before taking orders
or doing something for me or other customers. Because this is a family business, the
consulting agency for hotels always tries to reflect the family's attitude and its noble
appearance that attracts admiration from visitors. Furthermore, the hotel is located in the city
center so it can be reached by many different means and routes. The hotel has a spacious
private car park where guests can park their cars comfortably. I never felt that I was out of my
home.
I like the hotel the most because of the outstanding amenities it brings me.
It was also on a business trip with my parents at that time that I felt I loved Hanoi and
was determined to study at university here.

 Amenities: đầy đủ tiện nghi

 Exceptional and stunning furnishings: đồ nội thất đặc biệt và tuyệt đẹp

4. Your house
My house has two floors. There are two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and
two bathrooms. On the first floor, it has living room, kitchen, two bathroom and bedroom of
my family. In the living room, we have a big wooden table and chairs set, an armchair and a
smart TV. My parents' room is next to the living room. My parents have in their room a two
big bed, they have a desk of me because my parents' bedroom is also my bedroom, their
closet is near the door and bathroom in here. My grandma’room is same my parent’room but
not have bathroom. The kitchen is next to my parent’s bedroom. In the kitchen we have a
fridge, a cooker, a cupboard and a big table. And a bathroom is next to kitchen. On the second
floor, there is worship room and clothes drying yard. I love my house very much. Because
that's where I will return after a hard day of studying. Even though I don't have my own room,
my parents still create a certain private space for me.

5. A city that you know well

I was born in Ho Chi Minh city. My city is also known as Saigon. This is a big city.
It’s very crowded here. Ho Chi Minh City has favorable climatic conditions and
geographical position, so for a long time, this place has been a popular place for many trades
and trades.

Thanks to that, Ho Chi Minh City has become one of the three busiest cities in
Vietnam. The people here are very sociable and friendly. They work hard and also have fun.
Coming to Ho Chi Minh City, it is impossible not to enjoy the food of this place. The food is
rich and varied. Unique dishes with their own recipes captivate visitors. Make sure anyone
who has enjoyed the food here will never forget it. Anything is available here.

I like the nightlife here the most. Although open at night, the shop is always
crowded. Maybe that’s why Saigon is called the city that never sleeps. If you are a tourist
coming to Ho Chi Minh City, please pay attention to preserve your property. Because
besides the friendly and sociable people, there are many bad guys who take advantage of you
when you are not paying attention to do wrong things.

I love Ho Chi Minh city. I hope everyone can come here once and feel the good
things about it.

6. Compare your life now and your life five years ago
During the years people change a lot. Five years is enough time to compare yourself
now and then. I think that I have changed a lot for five years.
Firstly there is a change in my thinking. Five years ago my thought was absolutely
childlike. I believed that the world is a place without problems. I thought that I will always
have time for games and friends and that will last for ever. Also I was absolutely sure that if I
have any problems my parent will always be around me for help. However I still believe that
the world is a great place for living but some times there are different problems that you have
to cope with. And at times you have to deal with these difficulties alone without any help.
And that is one of the changes that occurred in the last five years. Now I have to cope alone
and this makes me more responsible and serious than five years ago.
Secondly there is change in my interests. Now I more concentrated on my future and
education. I spend less time with friends and I am preparing for several exams. Five years ago
it wasn’t so. I used to believe that there is nothing more important than playing (football) or
watching cartoon movies during the whole day.
Despite the changes in my behavior and interests there are several similarities between now
and then. For instance I still believe that time spent with good friends is not a wasted time.
And I am still sure that childhood is the best time in our life.
In conclusion I think that time is unstoppable and wether we like it or not it changes
ourselves.
7. The person you are closest to in your family
The person I am closest to in my family is my mother. People say I'm a copy of my
mother because we both have chubby bodies, kind faces, and simple ponytail hairstyles.
Mama to me is a kind person, sociable and happy with everyone. In my family, Mama is
always the person I trust and confide in my life. Sometimes I find my mother a bit
unreasonable, but she just wants the best for me. No matter what, I still love my mother very
much.
8. A holiday that you had a bad experience
The worst experience I ever had was last summer, when I and some friends went to Ha Giang
to travel, I was very exctived to see the scenery and enjoy the food, but when we arrived, it was very
bad, it’s raining so heavily that we can’t go out. The hotel we booked is not very neat. Moreover, the
food here is very bad, not like on the advertisement. I think it was the worst trip I’ve ever had and I
hope it never happens again.

9. A retired person that you know well.

The new neighbor moved next to my house last week, his name is Đan. He retired
after many years as a manager.
He used to seat in the chair in front of the house and read a book. From time to time,
he will also participate in relaxing activities with the elderly in the neighborhood.
His children and grandchildren work far away but they often come back to play with
him. However, he also felt lonely when he retired, and he often missed his time at the
company and his colleagues there.

10. Your personal future plan.

Individuals have their own dreams; therefore we always set a plan for what we are
going to do. I never had a question, what will I do when I graduate. Currently, I am a first
year student in here. To graduate, in addition to specialized knowledge, I need a foreign
language and computer skills. In addition to my studies at universiry, I am planning on taking
extra classes at outside centers in second year. This will be quite difficult since my foreign
language is quite poor but I will try to finish it. Foreign language is essential in today's society
and I want to graduate on time.
11. An annoying neighbour
Most of our neighbors are amiable and well-behaved and they are good neighbors
except Mr. Tam. Mr. Tam is not such a bad guy since he talks pretty much to every person,
but when it comes to leaving his trash outside of his entrance for days, the cigarette smoking
habit of leaving the cigarette filters everywhere, and listening to loud music at late night.
Anyway, all of my neighbors are thinking about talking to [Link] about his behavior and
how they are negatively affecting the overall peaceful and clean environment of our
neighborhood. We are also planning to suggest the condominium management authority
move him if he fails to change his habits and behaviors.

12. You are planning to take a space holiday on Mars. Talk about it
Maybe this is going to be a crazy idea, but soon I will have a space holiday on Mars.
Since it's my first time, I want to go with my family and friends. Since it's also my first time, I
don't know yet so I have to bring the hunchbacks, maybe I won't need to bring money, just
personal items or items that experts recommend such as spacesuits , food, ... When
experiencing, I feel very excited and wonderful in a completely different space. I love my
trip.

13. A problem that you face every day.

One of the biggest problems I face every day is traffic jams. I am a student, so I often
face traffic jams in Hanoi. Many times I have missed my class because of it. It can't be
helped, so, so that next time I don't have to be late for school, I will try to get up earlier and
go to school early, there will be more time to do other things.

14. The last time you had a meal with friends

The last time I had a meal with friends was on my birthday. I am the organizer and
moderator of the party. At the beginning of the party, I received some gifts and they ate
dessert with something like fries or bread. And the main dish of that day was hot pot, which
we liked. We ended the party with a birthday cake with lots of fruit. I feel very happy and will
remember that day forever.

15. A soap opera.

My favorite soap opera on TV is “go home , child”.The movie is about family [Link]
is the image of a father diligently raising his three children and gradually watching each child
grow up. Even though the children have grown up, they still make mistakes that make the
father always worry. And then after many difficulties and challenges, the children also make
the father feel reassured.I like "go home, child" for several [Link] of all, the content of
the film really attracted me because of the father-son relationship and there were scenes rich
in [Link] is how to build excellent character images that help viewers get involved in the
movie .finally,what made me like the movie was the new film image [Link] is a movie that I
find very successful on Vietnamese screens.
