B. Several years ago, when I passed the university entrance exam with flying colors, my parents smiled from ear to ear and they decided to reward me with something.

C. Since I am a big fan of Apple, so I asked them whether I could have my own cellphone. They said yes and took me to a mobile shop on Thai Ha street – a go-to place for
tech geek. I was over the moon because that was a bargain . I mean you can never buy a new one for just 13 millions at that time.

It's easy to share photos and music. Although my phone has the latest state-of-the-art technology, it is very user-friendly and convenient for daily use. My phone is an essential part of my life.

There are quite a few means of transport in Vietnam, but motorbikes are taking the lead.
People prefer to travel by motorbike because it is more economical, and the most important thing is that when it comes to traffic congestion, it takes ages for car to move on the road, but it is much easier for a motorbike to wend its way forward and escape the bad traffic
I managed to find a seat before it was filled up. The trains here were notoriously jam-packed in rush hours
the train went unbelievably fast, so it took me just about 15 minutes to arrive at my destination
electric mini-bus will be the prevalent means of transport in the future
it still carries the same number of passengers but being small and agile to get its way out of a traffic jam
carpooling may be a good idea as people can not only save a great amount of money spent on fuel for their private car but they also help protect the environment.
Many people travel in the same car means there will be less emission and less traffic jam, and this may be a dominant way of transporting in the future.

Answer order:
1. Use introducing advantages phrases:
One of the main advantages of X is….
One of the main benefits of X is….
Another good thing about X is…..
One more great thing about X is…
Example:
One of the main benefits/advantages of owning a car is that it is convenient (long-distance travel)
Another good thing about owning a car is weather protection.
One more great thing about car ownership is time-consuming/saves a lot of time compared to public transportation/carries more people.

2. Then you simply signal something like “in contrast/however/on the other hand” and tell the listener that you have done talking about the advantages, now you are talking about the disadvantages.
The main disadvantage of X is: The main disadvantage of living in a modern city is the noise. (About the environment)
One drawback of X is: One drawback of owning a car is that it’s very expensive. (About finance)
One disadvantage of X is: One disadvantage of owning a car is being able to find a parking space in major cities.
“A car offers a lot of conveniences, but it can be inconvenient too.”
“Although a car is very convenient, sometimes it's very inconvenient.
” “It can be a great convenience to own a car. However, it can be inconvenient, for example, in many cities, owning a car could cause you to get stuck in a traffic jam because cars are not as moveable as motorbikes. Moreover, trend to find parking can be a problem because there are not a lot of areas for car parking in major cities.”
“Although cars show people how rich you are, they do cost a lot of money (taxes, gas, parking, services...)”

Example
Does fast food have any positive effect on society?
You could say: Yes, it does. One of the advantages of fast food is that it is very convenient.
How? Now you need to explain how it is convenient.
What I mean is when people are very busy, they can stop somewhere and get something delicious to eat, and it doesn’t take very long……

Some good language here: concession & contrast.
· Something is true at the same time something else is true.
· Something is true. However, something else is true.
· Although this is true, that is true

Example:

Men tend to do some strenuous sports like football or basketball; however, women are more likely to be interested in aerobic exercises like yoga…
Elderly people are more likely to shop at open markets, or second-hand markets. They love buying stuff on sale and bargaining; however, young guys tend to shop in big shopping malls, department stores, and fancy boutiques.

Language to suggest solutions:

nhungnguyen3701 — 2022-01-24 02:01:10 UTC

You need to tell the examiner:
1. Who should do something? and be specific .
Don’t just say “people”, instead you should say “governments”, “teachers”, “students”, “teenagers”, etc. you don’t have to be so specific, try to be a little bit specific . Remember, you should use modal verbs (people should , government ought to , businesses need to / must / could ; they should be encouraged to)
2. What should they do?
Give the examiner some explanations, and then your prediction (if the government invest in public transportation, then I think it’s very probable that pollution level will have decreased in the next 20 years)
3. Why do you think these solutions will work?
When it comes to the language of “problem/solution” , something you should pay attention to is the fact you have some really good verbs here: could spend more money on/ should spend more money on/ ought to spend more money on/ ca spend more money on .

My point is you should be using “could/should/ought to/can/must/need to” to talk about “solutions”.
COULD/ SHOULD/ OUGHT TO/ CAN/ MUST/ NEED TO + VERB/ PHRASE
We have an example here:
· People should use more public transportation
· Corporations ought to take steps to reduce their emissions
· Governments can provide incentives for people who use public transportation. · The government could make an effort to reduce taxes for people who use public transportation.
· In my opinion, the government ought to take steps to improve public transportation. · In my opinion, parents ought to take steps to teach their children how to do homework.
· Teachers ought to provide tips for studying.
· Parents ought to provide instructions on how to budget their children’s money. · The government ought to provide health insurance for people who don’t have a lot of money.
· The police need to take steps to solve the problem.
· We should pay more attention to eating healthy food.
· Parents should take measures to teach their children about cycling.
BY+ VERB-ING
· The government could improve the situation by imposing tighter regulations on…
· The government could improve things by cleaning up the most polluted areas of… ·
We could fix this problem by putting pressure on local governments to…
· We could take measures to solve this problem by spending more money o education and less on arms…
· We can make it a lot better by repairing the damage and by renovating the building…

Example: What type of education problems does your country face?
Lack of quality –
what are the causes of “lack of quality” -- lack of funding . Less practical experience/skills – therefore, when they attend university, they might not be as prepared as students from other countries.
These are very good structures: comparisons, conditionals, cause, and effect language, and linking them together is a series of simple things that make a good answer
Example: What are the problems with children who idolize celebrities?
Well, one major concern with worshipping famous people that needs addressing i children may develop the bad habits of their idols. What I mean is children might watch their favorite movie stars drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, and then the child tries these behaviors themselves. The main reasons behind this are that children know that people admire celebrities, so they feel like they will be worshipped if they smoke cigarettes and drink beer just like celebrities do. This can cause a lot of problems. This situation can lead children to become criminals or maybe lose the respect of their friends and family. As a result, they don’t spend so much time in the library as they used to. It’s difficult to get children to want to read. One thing that parents could do that they can give their son and daughter a little bit of money every time they read a book….

I felt like going back in time while strolling around its atmospheric streets filled with charming historical buildings
On the way back to my hotel, I took the wrong turn and got lost.

To regain my concentration, I have to list out the top priorities of the day and determine to deal with them without any distractions.
I need to be focused when I am in my classes and listen to my teachers.
I don’t believe we can pay attention to two things at once because one task may be distracted by the other one, and finally we will probably end up with nothing accomplished.
There are many distractions in the modem world that I sometimes find difficult to avoid. I think the biggest distraction to my focus comes from my mobile phone. This is very distracting.

Learning art, especially at a young age, can help stimulate/ˈstɪmjuleɪt/ children’s cognitive /ˈkɒɡnətɪv/ development and encourage /ɪnˈkʌrɪdʒ/ them to think outside the box.
Art can broaden their minds and their outlooks on life. It can also inspire them to be more creative, to have original ideas, and to be intentive.
museums are a great educational tool. They act as windows into the past better than any textbooks.
With the way some museums are set up, you can almost feel like you are back in time as you view the items.
I don’t think children will be very much benefited by just going to the art gallery. It is very important for them to understand what is being shown, what is the meaning, how it has been made, and why is art important. It is only when they understand the answers to the questions, it makes sense to make children visit an art gallery.
Museums enlighten children about their history and knowing the history is important to have a better understanding of the present.

2.--> there is a wide variety of food served in a barbecue -> in addition to grilled meat, I also like pork, corn, mushroom, sweet potatoes, and especially delicious seafood --> love the moments with my family to take pleasure in those foods in barbecue party --> Talking about barbecues at this very moment make me mouth-watering.

More often than not, up to my ear with work and study from Mon to Fri --> On Saturdays and Sundays, I frequently have a lie-in ( ngủ nướng) , then I indulge myself in my favorite interests such as binge-watching some of my favorite movies or reading some books to enrich my knowledge.

2. I think it's going to be the same routine for me next weekend --> I might head out( đi ra ngoài ) for a catchup / catch up with ( hàn huyên tâm sự ) my friends over a coffee because it's been a while since I last saw them
3. Not that I recall ( the tôi là không ) --> Due to the covid 19 pandemic, I stayed at home all day --> I just lay on my bed for hours and hours and spent the whole day binge-watching my favorite movies on Netflix --> which was kind of dull and boring.
4. According to my observations, some people pay a visit to their relatives' houses to have a drink ( nhậu ). The other people tend to stay home and they find themself hobbies to unwind such as binge-watching movies,...

20-Describe a rule that you don't like
You should say :
What it is
Why you don't like it
How others feel about the rule
And explain whether you're followed the rule

1. Direct answer

School plays an important role in our life as this makes our platform is the first step of our journey of education.
However, I'm going to go back memory lane and I'm gonna think of a rule that I want to remove a ban( xóa bỏ lệnh cấm ) when I was a student at high school

This rule was wearing makeup

2. Description
- What :

According to this rule, all students were banned from wearing makeup before going to class on a daily basis. If not, we won't be allowed to get into the school.
- Who imposed it and when was it established?
I don't know exactly who imposed this rule and when it was established but it's been there for many years now.
- Why you don't like it
I still hate this rule for several reasons.
For one thing, I mean this is one of the most ridiculous rules so far cuz putting on makeup it's just a way to make girls or boys more confident about their appearance. I want to hide several flaws/imperfections on the face or decide to prepare myself and most carefully before meeting others. On top of that, it also has a sense of comfort with the companions of joining some activities.
For another,

3. Related memories
If my memory serves me right, in the cold season, most of us often have dry skin and I have no exception, especially my lips were seriously dry. it makes me down in the dumps and felt really unconfident in interactions
~~most of the girls in my class use pink lip balms that both nourish and freshen the lips.~~
I really can't understand why the school prohibited us from wearing makeup.
I got to say that it doesn't make us lose attention in studying, in contrast, it's my stress about personality, celebrate individuality

5. Expectation

the 21st century so I just hope School departments will be more open-minded about the rules to ensure students a sense of comfort

Part 3:
1. What are the rules students should follow at school?
2.Are the rules at school or bad? Why?
3.What rules should children follow at home?
4.How are people punished when parking at a wrong spot ?

identify my priorities
set a time limit for each task
assign time to any activity
stick to the time boundaries
lock out distractions, such as messages, Facebook, TV
keep track of my progress by crossing things off the list as they are completed
leave time forest and fun
