SPEAKING PART 2
Dạng bài: 1 tình huống cho sẵn với 3 sự lựa chọn
Ví dụ 1: Your niece is 12 next week. You want to buy her a gift. There are 3
options: a dress, an English book, and a bouquet of flowers. Which one is
the best choice?

I think the best choice for my niece would be an English book.

Firstly, books are a great way for her to improve her English while having fun. It’s both
educational and entertaining, and she can enjoy reading in her free time. Secondly, an English
book can help her develop a love for reading and learning, which is valuable for her future.

I didn’t choose the dress because it might not be her style, and she could have a lot of clothes
already. It’s harder to know if she would like it. As for the bouquet of flowers, while it’s a
lovely gesture, flowers don’t last very long, so I think a book would be a more lasting and
meaningful gift.

Ví dụ 2: You are studying for the final exam and you are looking for a
perfect place for your study. There are three options: at home, at a school
library, and at a coffee shop. What do you think is the best choice?

I think the school library is the best choice for studying for my final exam.

Firstly, it’s quiet and peaceful, which helps me concentrate better. There are also plenty of
resources like textbooks and study materials that I can use. Secondly, being in a library feels
more focused, as it’s designed for studying, so it helps me stay in the right mindset.

I didn’t choose home because it can be distracting with things like TV, family, or other
activities around. As for the coffee shop, while it might be a nice atmosphere, it can be noisy,
and there are many distractions, like people talking or music playing, which makes it harder to
focus.

Ví dụ 3: You’re deciding on a venue for a family reunion. Three options are

proposed a family member’s house, a park with a picnic area, and a resort.
Which do you think is the most suitable location for the reunion?

I think the park with a picnic area is the best place for the family reunion.

First, it has a lot of space, so everyone can move around and play games. This makes it fun
for both children and adults. Second, being outside in nature is nice and relaxing. People can
enjoy fresh air, and it is not too expensive.

I don’t choose the family member’s house because it might be too small for a big group, and
cleaning up after the party can be difficult. The resort is also not a good choice because it is
expensive, and some family members may not be able to go if it is far away.
SPEAKING PART 3
Topic 1: Childhood is the most important time of a person’s life.
+ Develop physical health
+ Form personalities
+ Learn things fast

My name is + tên. I believe childhood is the most important time in a person’s life because it
helps develop physical health, form personalities, and learn things fast.
First, childhood is important for physical health. Children grow quickly, so they need to eat
healthy food and do exercise.
Second, childhood is when people form their personalities. Parents and teachers teach them to
be kind, honest, and responsible. These values help them become good people in the future.
Finally, children can learn things very fast. Their brains are developing, so they can remember
new information easily. They can learn languages, math, and other skills quickly.
In conclusion, childhood is very important because it helps people grow strong, build good
character, and learn many things for their future.

Topic 2: Good first interview impression

- Punctual
- Well-dressed
- Humorous
Making a good first impression in an interview is very important. To do this, I think being
punctual, well-dressed, and humorous are three key things.
First, being punctual means arriving on time. If you are late, the interviewer may think you
are not serious about the job.
Second, being well-dressed is also important. Wearing clean and professional clothes shows
that you are a confident and prepared person.
Finally, being humorous can help you connect with the interviewer. A small joke or a
friendly smile can make the conversation more comfortable.
In conclusion, being punctual, well-dressed, and humorous can help you leave a strong and
positive impression in a job interview.

On the one hand, one of the biggest advantages of fast food is that it is very convenient.

much fast food can lead to health issues like weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes. Another
disadvantage is that fast food can be bad for the environment. Many fast food restaurants use
plastic packaging, which creates a lot of waste. This waste can hurt nature and animals. Fast
food is also often prepared in a way that uses a lot of resources, like water and energy.
In conclusion, fast food has both good and bad points. It is quick, cheap, and tasty, but it is

and try to make healthier food choices when possible.

Ví dụ 2: Pros and cons of using private vehicles

Nowadays, Chép phần trích đoạn trong hộp. It has both advantages and disadvantages, which
will be discussed in this essay.
On the one hand, there are some advantages of using private vehicles like cars or
motorbikes. One good thing is that they are very convenient. People can go anywhere at any

On the other hand, there are also some bad sides to using private vehicles. First, they cause
traffic jams. When many people use cars, roads become very crowded, and travel takes
longer. Second, private vehicles cause air pollution. The smoke from cars and motorbikes is
bad for the environment and people’s health. Finally, cars and motorbikes are expensive.
People must pay for fuel, repairs, parking, and insurance. This can cost a lot of money.
In conclusion, private vehicles are useful because they are fast, comfortable, and easy to use.
However, they also make traffic worse, pollute the air, and cost a lot of money. To solve these
problems, people can try to use public transport or bicycles more often.
