*Describe a place you know that has a beautiful natural environment.
You should say:
-Where it is located
-What it looks like
-When you first went there
Explain why you find this place especially beautiful.
One place I know with a beautiful natural environment is Phong Nha-Ke Bang
National Park. It is located in Quang Binh Province, in central Vietnam, about 500
kilometers south of Hanoi. The park is famous for its impressive limestone
mountains, thick forests, and amazing caves. Some of the caves, like Son Doong,
are among the largest in the world.
When you visit, you will see tall mountains covered with green trees and peaceful
rivers with clear water. The caves are really special, with sparkling stalactites and
stalagmites that look like they’re from another world. Outside the caves, there are
small villages where life is simple and quiet.
I first went there two years ago with my family during the summer. We explored
Phong Nha Cave by boat and took lots of photos of the beautiful views.
I find this place especially beautiful because it feels so peaceful and untouched.
The air is fresh, and everywhere you look, the scenery is breathtaking. It’s a perfect
place to relax and connect with nature.

*Other questions
1. Describe a place where you spent a memorable holiday and explain why you
particularly liked or disliked this place

2. Describe an experience in which you tried something new and explain how these
experience has influence you
One memorable experience when I tried sth new was learning how to cook. When I
was 14 years old, I decided to try cooking because I noticed how hard my
grandmother worked. She spent the whole day working in the garden and then
came home to cook for the family. So, I wanted to help, and I decided to learn how
to cook.

However, my first attempt didn’t go well at all. I tried to cook rice, but it turned out
undercooked, and the rest of the food got burned. When my grandmother came
home, she was so upset that she chased me around the house with a broom,
thinking I was just being mischievous. But I didn’t give up. In the days that
followed, I carefully watched my grandmother as she cooked and learned from her.
I paid attention to the little details, like how she measured ingredients and the
timing for cooking. Gradually, I started to make simple dishes, and soon, the rice
was no longer undercooked. My grandmother also became less tired because I
could help her more.

This experience taught me the value of patience and perseverance. So, I feel that
cooking is not just a skill but also a way to show care for the people around me.

A place that is very important to me is my high school, its name is Phuc Tho High
School, located in a small town in Hanoi. This is where I spent three memorable
years of my life. The school is not very big, but it has a warm and friendly
atmosphere, with a large yard full of trees and a sports field where we often played
badminton or football.
At Phuc Tho High School, I participated in various activities. I spent most of my
time studying in the classroom, but I also joined clubs and extracurricular events,
such as the English club and the annual sports day.
Whenever I think about my high school, I feel a mix of nostalgia and gratitude. It is
a place filled with beautiful memories, from working hard to achieve my goals to
unforgettable activities with my class.
Phuc Tho High School has had a significant influence on my life. It is where I
learned important life skills like teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. The
teachers there inspired me to work hard and aim high, shaping the person I am
today. For me, the time I spent there is the most memorable so far.
