 COMPOSITION
1. A visit ( a trip) to HCM city
Every year my family have a visit to somewhere. Last summer was not exception. My parents took us to
HCM city on Sunday .
Our journey started at about 4:00 AM on that day. My father hired a car to go because going by car was both
faster and more comfortable.
Two hours later, we arrived in HCM city. The thing that surprised me was that there were too people and too
much traffic on the streets. The buildings were high and beautiful.
First, the driver took us to the zoo where there were animals, birds, fish and hippos, monkeys. It’s interesting
to look at monkeys eating bananas. Then we went to Tao Dan botanical garden where there were lots of
shadows . It’s comfortable to go for a walk there. After that we went to Reunification Palace where colonel
Nguyen Thanh Trung bombed in 1975.While I was looking at interesting furniture in this building suddenly I
heard a loud voice behind me , it’s was my father’s voice. He told that it was time to go home.
We hurried to return to parking lot. The driver took us come back home,. I arrived home at 6:00 PM .
I felt happy and enjoyed that trip very much. I hope I will have a chance to go to HCM again some next
summer.
2. A visit (a trip) to the countryside
Every year whenever summer comes I usually have a visit to somewhere. Last Summer was not exception.
Last Summer my class held a visit to Ngu hiep village on Sunday.
On that day I got up very early. We went there by bike. When we rode on the road , we saw many tall trees,
beautiful houses, people . What a lovely sight!
It took me about 20 minutes to go there. Before reaching Ngu Hiep village I had a chance to sit on the ferry
crossing Tien river. The water in the river is very clean and crystal.
When reaching I felt comfortable. The air was fresh and cool there. There were a lot of fruits there such as
durians, plum, mango, …Especially, durians are very delicious in Ngu Hiep villages.
Then my friend, Lan took us to her uncle’s house and we had lunch there. We also went a walk around . The
sights were wonderful there .People were very friendly and hospitable.
And finally it’s time for us to go home. We came home at about 5:00 PM . I felt happy and enjoyed that trip
very much. I hope I will have a chance to come back there again next year.
3. A picnic
Whenever we have free time, my class holds a picnic . Last Sunday I with my classmates had a picnic at my
friend’s house, Lan in the countryside.
It was a fine day last Sunday. We went to Lan’s house by bike. All of us were five members. We started to go
at 5:00 o’clock in the morning. It took us about an hour and a half to go her house.
When we arrived, Lan prepared everything carefully. Her parents were very happy when we came. I surprised
that there lots of food on the table. I asked Lan who made and Lan answered her mother did.
After having breakfast, we played games “ What song is it” and “ blind man’s buff”. Then we went fishing in
the river behind Lan’s house and went for a walk around . At noon we had lunch in the garden with bread,
soft drink, snack and lots of kinds of fruits. We continued to enjoyed our picnic till the evening.
At 6:30 PM we hurried gathered things to go home. I enjoyed that picnic very much. It was short, however, it
helped us very much . It helps me relaxed after a hard working week and know more about people and places
of our country.
4. A letter from…..
Dear….,
I arrived in Nha Trang at 4:00 AM yesterday morning. Thanh met me at the train station and then he took me
home by his motorbike.
Nha Trang is a quiet and beautiful city. It has a long coastline with beautiful white sandy beaches.
I went to the beach very early this morning and enjoyed the sunrise far out in the sea. Yesterday morning
Thanh and Hoai took me to the Tri Nguyen Aquarium. It’s very interesting to see many different kind of
fish and sea creatures.
I’ve also visited many interesting places like Cham Temple, Aquarium, Pasteur Institute.
I’ve taken part in some fascinating out door activities: mud bathing snorkeling and scuba diving. Tomorrow
we are going to spend the evening visiting a fishing village where we can get a taste of the local seafood.
I feel so happy and enjoy myself so much. The people here are so nice and friendly, the food is excellent and
the sights are very beautiful. I’ll leave Nha Trang at 4PM on Saturday and will arrive home at 5AM on
Sunday. Please pick me up at the train station Love
5. Talk about your close friend
At school I have a lot of friends but my close friend is Nam. Nam is tall and handsome. He is the same age as
me. He is my classmate. His house is near my house. Nam is very friendly and helpful. He often helps me
with difficult problem whenever I need. Nam studies very well. He always gets good marks.
Nam is not only a good boy at school but also a good son in his family. He usually does chores to help his
mother. He is loved very much by his teachers, parents, and friends. They are always proud of him.
Nam is in deed my close friend. I like him very much, I hope my friendship lasts forever.
6. Uniforms
I think it’s necessary for secondary students to wear uniforms when they are at school because of the
following reasons.
Firstly, wearing uniforms encourages students to be proud of being students of their school because they are
wearing the uniforms with labels bearing their school’s name.
Secondly, wearing uniforms helps students feel equal in many ways, whether they are rich or poor
Finally, wearing uniforms is practical. we don’t have to think of what to wear every day.
Therefore, Students in secondary schools should wear uniform.
7.Casual clothes( unit 2)
I think it’s necessary for secondary students to wear casual clothes when they are at school because of the
following reasons.
Firstly, wearing casual clothes make students feel comfortable. It’s easy for them to travel
Secondly, wearing casual clothes gives students freedom of choice about size, colors and fashion...
Nextly, wearing casual clothes makes students feel self-confident when they are in their favorite clothes and
makes school more colorful and lively
Therefore, Students in secondary schools should wear casual clothes.
8.Your favorite clothes
As you know everyone has their own favorite clothes. For me, I like wearing jeans and T shirt best because of
the following reasons.
Firstly, when I wear jeans and T shirt I feel comfortable. I can travel easily. I feel more confident when I talk
to everyone.
Secondly, wearing jeans and T shirt is very convenient. I don’t have to spend time ironing clothes everyday.
Secondly, jeans and T shirt are always fashionable clothes. Wearing them makes us look younger, healthier
and more beautiful.
On the other hand, nowadays there are a lot of shops selling fashionable jeans and T shirt everywhere. It’s
easy for us to buy jeans and T shirt at a low price.
In conclusion, I like wearing jeans and T shirt very much. In the future if I have more money, I will buy more
jeans and T shirt to wear.
7.What is your favorite subject?
At school I have studied many subjects but I like studying English best because of the following reasons.
Firstly, English is one of my compulsory subjects. If we don’t learn English well, we can’t pass the exam to
study in the upper class.
Secondly, I like studying English because English is an international language. Knowing English I can speak
to people all over the world. I can read newspapers and watch program on television in English and can
understand interesting English songs.
Last but not least, studying English well gives us chances to get jobs with good salary. It gives us
opportunities to improve our life.
In conclusion, English is useful and interesting language. I will try my best to study English better and better.
It’s my ambition. I hope it will become true.
8. What do you do in your free time?
Everyone has own hobby in their free time. Some like reading . Others like going for a walk. For me, I like
watching television in my free time because of the following reasons
9. What is your favorite media?
Nowadays there are a lot of media in life. Some likes reading newspapers. Others like accessing the Internet.
For me I like watching television because of the following reasons.
Firstly, watching television gives us information about every aspect in our life. It helps us know what is
happening everywhere all over the world and widen our knowledge .
Secondly, watching television is a cheap mean for relaxing .It’s comfortable to watch interesting film or listen
to music at home.
Nextly, through watching television we can know how to protect our health thanks to health program for
everyone.
In conclusion, watching TV is an useful form of relaxing. But we shouldn’t spend much time watching it we
should take more time for our study.
10. What is your favorite media? ( unit 5)
10.1 Advantage of the internet
As you know nobody can deny the benefits of the internet in our modern life. In deed, the internet brings us
the following benefits.
Firstly, the internet is a source of information. It is a very fast and convenient way for us to get information
about every aspect from our daily life to scientific fields.
Secondly, by using internet we can relax after a hard working day. We can listen to interesting music, favorite
songs , enjoy exciting football matches, films, games or read newspaper on line.
Besides by using internet we can communicate with our friends and relatives through chatting or using email.
Finally, thanks to internet we can have education but we don’t have to go to school or colleges because
Internet helps us have on line school, on line lessons and self taught.
In conclusion, the internet is very useful for us. However, we shouldn’t spend too much time for it and we
should be careful while surfing the web.
10.2 Disadvantage of the internet
Nobody can deny that the internet brings us a lot of advantages. However, it also gives us lots of the
following disadvantages.
Firstly, It takes us time to use. We must spend hours getting information. Besides we also spend money
accessing it.
Secondly, if we use the internet, our personal information such as our name, address can be accessed by the
others
Nextly, there are lots of bad programs on the internet such as sexual films, motor- races, violent films. These
programs can be easily found and badly influence on the children.
In conclusion, all of us should be aware of that internet is very useful for us but it also has lots of
disadvantages so while surfing the web be alert!
11. PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
Nowadays our environment is polluted seriously so protecting our environment is our duty. For me we can
protect our environment in the following ways.
Firstly, we can use leaves to wrap food , reuse and recycle bottles and cans to reduce garbage
Secondly, we shouldn’t throw trash onto the water to keep water cleaner put garbage bins around the school
yard to prevent lazy students from throwing trash and to keep the schoolyard clean.
Nextly, we should go to school or to work on foot or by bicycle to reduce exhaust fume to keep our air
cleaner.
In conclusion, it’s time for us to talk about environmental problem
12. SAVING ENERGY
As you know our energy has limitation so saving energy is also our duty. For me, we can save energy in the
following ways.
Firstly, to save energy we should turn off all electric appliances such as lights, fans , air conditioners, gas
stoves when we don’t use them.
Secondly, we should turn off the faucets when we go out because a dripping faucet can waste 500 liters of
water a month.
Finally, we should go to school or go to work on foot or by bicycle or use public transport to save petrol and
money. We should also have a mechanic check our motorcycle regularly.
In short, saving energy is essential problem that we must do immediately now if we want to preserve our
natural resource of the earth
13. CELEBRATIONS
Write a passage about if it’s necessary to have a day for dad and another for mom? Why? ( unit 8)
This morning I just learned a lesson about father’s Day. It was really interesting. In Vietnam, however, people
do not celebrate. Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. In my opinion. It’s necessary to have a day to celebrate for
mom and another for dad.
There are lots of reasons for celebrating these days but the main reasons are the children will have a special
day to express their feelings , their memories and their love to their parents. In addition , we’ll have an
opportunity to enhance family traditions as well as a chance to get members of families together in order to
bring them closer.
I think Sunday is the most suitable day for celebrating . It is free from work or study.
It’s not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or dinner with all family members. In this
special day, children should serve their parents with food they like best and offer them flowers, cakes or
special gift and cards.
I believe my idea will be supported and the day for our parents will be celebrated nationwide someday.
14. NATURAL DISASTERS PREPARE BEFORE THE TYPHOON COMES
Typhoon is one of the natural phenomenon. The scientists can predict when it happens. However , it
sometimes happens suddenly so preparing well before the typhoon comes is very necessary and practical. For
me the things we need to do before typhoon comes are.
Firstly, we should buy some canned food and some candles and matches because when typhoon comes the
market will be closed and no food will be available and there may be a power cut.
Secondly, we should fill with buckets with water because when typhoon comes, the water pipes may be
damaged.
Nextly, we should fix the leak in the roof and tie the roof to the
Ground and pegs and ropes and check the windows and door latches because when typhoon comes it will be
rainy and windy.
In conclusion, preparing before the typhoon comes is our duty if we want to have a good life in areas where
disasters often happen.

TOPIC 4

What should you do to protect the environment?

What are the major causes of pollution in this country?
What is the most serious problem: air, water or noise pollution?
 How can pollution be effectively stopped? Has the government taken any measures to stop pollution?
How is environment important to people?
Pollution is the by-product of industry. Which is more important, developing industry or curbing pollution?
How have people in your country realised this issue and taken measures to protect the environment?
Should people be encouraged to use or stop using disposable materials? Will this change in the future?
1)What should you do to protect the environment ?
The environment is everything around us, both natural and made by man. A major problem in the world today is the
destruction of the natural environment.
This is complicated problem. We burn fuel and throw away plastic bags these cause pollution . We have made
thousands of new chemicals, factories that made or use chemicals always chemical wastes. These are often poesonous,
and thay also stay in the environment.
What should we do at school or at home to minimize pollution ? for me, We could pick up garbage littered and put it
into a gabage bin, we can reuse bottles and cans, use banana leaves or papers to wrap foot, not throw trash into the
water or ground. That is how we can keep the school yard clean and protect the environement.
Moreover, using the public buses can reduce exhaust fume and threefore we can keep the air cleaner.
I think that it is not enough simply to talk about the problem . We must act now before it too late to do anything about
it . Join us now to protect the environment. That is how we can save the Earth.
2)In about 150, write a paragraph about your close friends.
Do you have any close friends ? I think everybody at last has one close friend in their life. And so do I. I have two
close friends, Hanh and Mai. We are in the same class at primary school, and then seconday school. We are also
nerghbors so we spend most of our time in learning and playing together. Hanh is a beautiful girl with black eyes and
oval face. She is an intelligent student who is always at the top of the class. She likes reading, and she often goes to the
library whenever she has free time. Mai isn’t as beautiful as Hanh, but she has a lovely smile and looks very healthy.
Mai is very sporty. She spends most of her free time playing sport. Mai is a volleyball star of our school. She is also
very sociable and has a good sense of humor. Her jokes always make us laugh. I love both of my friends and I always
hope our friendship will never die.
3)In about 150 words, write a paragraph about advantages and diadvantages of the city life and the country life.
Compare these two places and say which you prefer.
The country and the city have advantages and disadvantages. People in the country live in more beautiful environment.
They enjoy peace and quiet, and can do their work at their own pace because no one is in a hurry. They live in large,
more comfortable houses, and their neighbors are more friendly, and ready to hilp them when they need it. Their life
can be monotonous and thay can be isolated a long way from the nearest town, which is a serious problem if they are ill
ro have to take children to school.
The city has all the services the country lacks, but it also has a lot of disadvantages. Cities are often ugly and polluted;
they not only have bad air bad but are also noise.
For my part, no matter how comfortable or convenient the city life may be, I till prefer living in the country. I think it
is heathier and more peaceful to live a countryside than in the city.

CÁC CHỦ ĐỀ VIẾT TIẾNG ANH LỚP 9 THÍ ĐIỂM

Topic 1: The advantages of living in the countryside

Living in the countryside is really good for your life because of these reasons:- First, living in the country can bring you
a clean environment. The air is fresher and there are lots of trees, rice fields and rivers, you can walk on the fields or
along the rivers to enjoy the clean and fresh air there in the early morning.- Second, living in the countryside is cheaper
than in the city because people there have lower income and don’t have the habit of spending a lot of money. If you live
in the country, you can save a lot of money.- Finally, people in the country are more friendly and opener than people in
the city because they live near each other. People live together in a small village so they can talk countryside can have
festivals and you can join and fell very happy. In conclusion, there are many benefits of living in the country.
Topic 2: The disadvantages of living in the city
Many people find it difficult and unpleasant to live in the city because of these reasons. - First, the air in the city is
getting more and polluted because the traffic is so heavy, the city roads are in bad conditions and the population is
really big. There are fewer and fewer trees, lakes and rivers.- Second, the cost of living is much higher than in the rural
areas. People have to spend more money on food, drink, clothes and other activities like traveling and entertainment,
while the salary has not been much improved.- Finally, life in the city is more dangerous than in the countryside
because of night clubs, discotheques, casinos… City people are easily attracted by social evils such as drinking, drug –
talking or gambling…So, there are more crimes because some people don’t want to work but only want money to play.-
In short, living in the city has many disadvantages so people have to struggle a lot to survive.
Topic 3: The means of transport you like most
If I have to decide which mean of transport I like most, it’ll be a car. Nowadays it is really necessary for me and my
family. - Firstly, it is safer to drive a car than to ride a motorbike because in a car there are air bags, seatbelts, car
alarm… that prevent us from being injured if you have an accident. Driving a car at night on a lonely road will safer
than riding a motorbike.- Secondly, you never have to think about the weather (such a rain, sun, storm, and dark at
night) when you drive. A car has air-conditioner which helps you to avoid getting wet, dust… so it help to keep you
healthy. In the third place, a car is comfortable and fast. You can pretty much travel wherever you want when ever you
want within your local area, without having to worry about the departure times and delays of the public transport
system.- Furthermore, you will feel comfortable and relaxed with the CD and DVD machines on the car. You can listen
music and you have pleasure of driving. When you are tired, you can stop the journey and rest. - Finally, if you have
just the one car between you and your family, it can be possible to share the vehicle between all of the family members
thus providing everyone with a mode of transport at all times.
Topic 4: The most useful machine in the twentieth century
Among the most useful inventions in the last century; I find the computer the most important because of these reasons:-
First, when the computer is connected to the Internet, it is a good way of learning and getting information. You can read
newspapers on line and download lots of information from the web pages. Besides, you can learn online as well.-
Second, computers is convenient because it helps you work faster by typing, printing document and storing data if you
want.- Finally, computer is a good way to entertain with many kinds of games and entertainments. There are a lot of
games and on line activities like forum or facebook for you to share ideas and information with your friends. You can
also listen to music or watch movies if you like. In short, computers are really useful and important to my life and my
work.
Topic 5: Your favorite leisure activity (for women)
I often cook when I have free time because cooking is a joyful and relaxing activity for me.- First, cooking a good meal
brings happiness to my family. All the members in my family can gather around the table and enjoy the food I cook and
talk and share the joy with each others.- Second, cooking is my favorite hobby because I’m a woman. Cooking is one
way to show my feminine character and to show my responsibility in the family.- finally, cooking helps me reduce
stress of everyday hard work and makes me relaxed. When I cook, I can forget the problems that I have and just pay
attention to the cooking. Maybe, after relaxing, I feel much happier and I can solve my problem. In conclusion, cooking
is my favorite activity when I have free time.
Topic 6: Talk about your weekend activities
Weekend time is my favorite time in the week because I can enjoy myself and do many relaxing activities I like. In the
morning, after a relaxing breakfast, I often call some of my friends to ask them to go shopping with me. We spend the
whole morning going shopping and then have lunch in a restaurant in the centre of Hanoi. Then, I come back home for
a nap. In the afternoon, I often go swimming with my neighbor if the weather is hot. In winter I go jogging in the
central park instead. I usually have dinner with my family during weekend, so we can talk with each other and share
our stories. After dinner, I sometime listen to music or surf the net to chat with friends or check emails. I usually do not
go to bed late because I will have lots of work on Monday. In short, living in the city has many disadvantages so people
have to struggle a lot to survive.
Topic 7: Talk about on of your hobbies
People may have different hobbies such as listening to music, watching T.V, dancing. playing games or collecting
things. My hobby is to read books. I enjoy reading many types of books, but my favorite is detective. I like reading
stories about Sherlock Holmes of author Conald Doyle. I often read books in the evening after I finish preparing things
for the next day’s work. When I have free time, I often go to bookstores to look for new books. Once a week, I go to the
city library to read there. I sometimes read books on line if I cannot get hard copies of the books I want. Books help me
relax a lot after days of hard work. Thanks to books, I can broaden my knowledge and learn new things.
Topic 8: The most interesting place you have been to
I have been to many places in Vietnam, but the most interesting place that I always remember is Da Nang, the beautiful
coastal city in Vietnam. It’s wonderful to me because of these reasons. First, the scenery in Da Nang is ideal for us to go
sunbathing. We can swim in the blue and clear seawater or do sunbathing on the soft sand beach under the yellow and
warm sunshine. The air is so fresh and pure. Second, the local sea food are fresh, delicious but not expensive. For
example, tourists can enjoy different kinds of seafood such as crab, prawn, lobster, seashell… Also, the people there are
friendly, sociable and polite. Third, there are many interesting activities to do beside playing football, tennis on the
beach, building sandcastles on the beach or watching the sunrise. For example, we can sail on abroad trip to the Cu Lao
Cham and watch the mountain scenery on the way. Also, we may visit Ba Na Hill….For these reasons, Da Nang has
always been one of my favorite tourist attractions.
Topic 9: The importance of learning foreign languages
Nowadays, it is very important to learn a foreign language because of these reasons. First, learning a foreign language,
English for example, helps us learn and get information about new things in the world. There are a lot of books written
in English, French, Chinese……Second, it help us feel confident when we travel abroad. We can talk very easily with
people in other countries and learn a lot from them. We can use the language to work and do business without an
interpreter. Finally, though a foreign language we learn we can learn more about the people of that country, we know a
lot about their culture and society and customs and traditions. We can become friends of many people so our life is
more interesting. In short, when we know a foreign language we can open a new to our world. Because of the benefits
of learning foreign languages, one should know at least one foreign language.
Topic 10: Ways to have a good health.
If you want to have good health, you should follow these pieces of advice: First, you should eat healthy food: lots of
fruits, vegetable, fish and drink enough water every day to stay healthy. The Japanese eat a lot of fish so they live very
long. You should eat less meat and fat food because they may cause heart diseases and increase the cholesterol level in
your blood. Fruits and vegetables no only bring you lots of vitamins and minerals but also help you have a better
immune system. Second, you should exercise everyday by choosing a suitable sport such as jogging, tennis, swimming,
yoga… They not only make you strong but help you relax as well. So, it helps you keep fit and stay healthy. If you
don’t have much time, you just need to do morning exercises regularly. Finally, you need to have regular health check –
up. If you have some problems with your health, you should go to the doctor immediately before it gets more serious.
You should visit the doctor regularly in order to find out any diseases you may have, so that you have a better chance to
get rid of it. In short, if you take this advice, you will have a good health

TOPIC: TALK ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIEND
 Everyone of us has at least one best friend. Me too, my best friend is a friend who is studying in high school with
me.
Her name is Thanh Ngan, she is not only beautiful but also smart. Specially, she has a graceful smile. I am sure that
every boy can also fall in love by that smile.
We are studying in high school together. We go to school together everyday. May be, we are together on every
activities. Although we are not the same class, we are still study very well, because we always help each other in study
and never forget to do exercise at school.
We get along very well. She understands me and me too. We have a lot of the same characters. May be those thing
made some misunderstanding between her and me. But all things are always solved.. Indeed, I enjoy her very much.

TOPIC : SCHOOL UNIFORM

I think it's a good thing that students shoul wear uniforms. For them, and for their parents too.
because when they wake up in the morning, they don't have to think about what they wear for that day. So, it saves
time, they can have extra time in bed maybe, and for their parents it saves them a lot of money, I think. I think is really
good, just to make everybody equal. for example, if you see other children in your school who have nicer clothes, more
expensive clothes, and your parents can't afford those kind of clothes. Then, it makes you feel left out when you're a
child, and that's really, really awful if you feel that way as a child, just because of clothes and money I think. So, I
thought it was OK, sometimes you do get bored, but I think overall it saved us time in the morning, which is good.

TOPIC: THE LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

In my opinion, the countryside is a beautiful place. I love it because it is qiuet and life here is very slow and easy. We
never have to queue in shops and we can drive bikes comfortable because there’s much heavy traffic .In the
countryside,people plant vegetables and raise cattle .So the food are very fresh here. In addition, the air is clean.every
morning,we can enjoy the fresh air to have a good health.
The people are friendly.Everyone knows everyone and if someone has a problem

TOPIC: TALK ABOUT LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

My reasons for learning foreign languages is because I just love to do it, it's all the different ways people express
themself. Its also a way to learn how people interact and socialize with each other, and how each society works.
Also, I like learning different languages help me to understand how things work so I can understand how all different
languages grammars work (Im always a sucker for using a lot of moods, cases, tenses, etc).
Learning languages to me, is much more than making myself able to communicate with others. To me it's like getting
some nice new surprise and a whole new level of understanding.

TOPIC: TALK ABOUT SCHOOL PICNIC

Last week my school arranged a picnic of two days . We went to DAI NAM park
It was a fine cool morning. We gather in the school at six o'clock. Two buses had already come there. The teachers
counted the students. We were in all ninety two grouped into two groups Four teachers accompanied us and two peons
took charge of the sports things. At half past six, we got into the bus and left for DAI NAM.

We all were in a picnic mood. We sang songs and clapped. We were shouting and rejoicing. At 9AM the teachers served
us sandwiches and potato waters for breakfast. At around eleven we arrived at DAI NAM. We kept our bags and
baggage on a lodge booked by the school for us. After a full meal we got ready for sight-seeing.

TOPIC: TALK ABOUT A MOUNTAIN TRAIN RIDE

One of the great things about using mountain biking to build fitness for road riding is that you can pack a lot of physical
work into a comparatively short space of time. On Saturday I ride bike with my father in BA DEN mountain The nature
of riding off-road requires that you’re almost always ‘on the gas’, the opportunities for freewheeling or light pedal are
rare. Riding a ten-mile lap of single track, with average levels of undulation as quickly as you can, will leave you with
the similar levels of muscle fatigue as a 30-mile road ride. I can see many beautiful views along the road and enjoin the
nature. Of course, muscle fatigue isn’t a measure of much, but it demonstrates the effort required to power a mountain
bike.

Topic 1 : write about one of the subjects you like best

 Of my subjects at school, I love English best for the following reasons. First of all, English has become an
international language. There are more than one hundred English speaking countries all over the world. Also, speaking
English well makes it easy for us to get a good job. Furthermore, English is a compulsory subject at school. We study
this subject three periods a week, which makes me very excited. What makes me love English best is that English is
very interesting. There are many exciting films, newspapers, magazines which are in English. In addition, it is very
interesting to communicate with people worldwide in English. You can know their culture very well. In conclusion,
English is my favorite subject for the reasons I have mentioned above. ( 127 words)

Topic 2 :write a passage to give your own opinion of topic : “physical exercises are very useful to our health”

reasons. First of all, physical exercises make us stronger. Last year, I used to be very weak, my teacher
advised me to exercise more and now I am much taller and stronger than many other friends. Furthermore,
physical exercises help us have a nice body and keep fit. For example, my mother used to be overweight but
now she is as slim as a Miss. Everyone wonders what makes her become slim like that and the answer is her
doing physical exercises regularly. Last but not least, physical exercises help us relax very much. Exercises
not only give us encouragement to begin a new day but also help us refesh ourselves after a hard-working
day. In conclusion, It is necessary that we do physical exercises for the reasons I have mentioned above. (150

is a means of communication. For example, you can communicate with people worldwide in English, which also helps
you to know their cultures very well. In conclusion, it is very useful to speak English for the reasons I have mentioned
above. (122 words)

Topic 4: write a passage on ways to protect the environment.

Nowadays, our environment is being seriously polluted, that is why we need to know the ways to protect the
environment. First of all, we should reduce, reuse and recycle. Instead of using plastic bags which are hard to dissolve
we can use banana leaves to wrap food. By this way we can save much paper and reduce garbage. It is a good idea to
reuse and recycle bottles and cans so that we can save natural resources. Furthermore, it would be better if we know
how to prevent people from throwing trash. Why don’t we put more garbage bins on streets and around schools to
prevent lazy people from littering. Last but not least, it is very important for us to protect the air. How about using
buses instead of motorbikes, which will help to reduce exhaust fume very much? In conclusion, we will protect our
environment properly if we follow the simple rules I have just mentioned above (159 words)

Internet is a means of communication. We can communicate very fast with our friends and relatives by means of e-mail
or chatting. Furthermore, the Internet is a good way of entertainment. Interesting films, songs and games will help to
refresh ourselves very much after a hard-working day. Last but not least, the Internet is very useful in education. There
are many online schools, online lessons so that it is very convenient for us to self-study. Also, it is a good idea for us to
share our idea in different forums. In conclusion, the Internet is very useful and it plays an crucial part in our daily life.

for teenagers to keep the environment clean by participating programs such as collecting garbage on the streets,
reusing and recycling bottles and cans. Furthermore, it would be better if teenagers help the poor and the old. For
example, teenagers can help them with a lot of hard work or take care of them when they are sick. Another thing
teenagers can do to help the community is to do much voluntary work. Why don’t they donate their blood and join
many campaigns such as green summer, world hour etc… In conclusion, teenagers can help the community very much
by the following way I have mentioned above. (146 words)

Đề thừa thiên huế:
Write about the advantages and disadvatages of a child in a large family.
A child in a large family has both advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, being a child in a large family
has many advantages. First of all, this child never feels lonely because he has brothers and sisters who always share
with him their happiness, sadness or even their deepest feelings. Also, this child will receive much help from the
others. For example, if he has any problems, he will have his brothers and sisters solving them immediately. However,
being a child in a big family also has disadvantages. Probably, this child can not receive much care from his parents
because they are too busy with their work. Furthermore, this family may have many difficulties in their finance, which
can make this child not be educated well. In conclusion, being a child in a large family has not only advantages but
disadvantages as well. (144 words)

Your class had a weekend picnic to the coungtryside last sungday. Write a paragraph about it.
Last Sunday I had an unforgetable trip to the countryside about 50 kilometers to the south of Ha Noi. This journey
was very interesting. We got up very early and caught a 7- o’clock bus to the village. On the journey, we saw many
green paddy fields and bamboo forests. At the entrance to the village, there was a big old banyan tree. After climbing
up the mountain for an hour, we felt very hungry and tired, so we stopped to take a rest and have a snack under a tree.
From the top of the mountain, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of this area and the fresh air. In the afternoon, we went
boating on the river and went home late in the evening. After this journey, we felt very happy and we wish we could
visit this area again some day. (148 words)

Last Sunday I had an unforgetable trip to the countryside about 50 kilometers to the south of Ha Noi. First of all,
I would like to mention the scenery here. There is a beautiful mountain which still keeps its nature. We could hear many
birds singing there. Also, from the top of the mountain, we caught the sight of a lovely river.(nen viet them la: and
green paddy fields). Besides its wonderful scenery, I love the people here very much because of their hospitality.
Although we were strangers, we felt as if we were members of their family. Another thing made this trip interesting was
the lovely weather. In the morning, it was warm, sunny and windy and the afternoon was so nice and cool that we wore
our T-shirt and jeans. After this journey, we felt very happy and we wish we could visit this area again some day.

That morning my mother woke me up earlier than usual. She urged me to get dressed and take breakfast quickly then
tenderly took me to school. On the way to school I met other children of my age accompanied by their parents to
school.
The nearer I came to the school gate, the more nervous I became. Suddenly a strange feeling of fear and worry seized
my heart when I saw the majestic elementary school in front of me and I felt like crying when my mother said good bye
to me and put some coins into my pocket. Never before had I been forced to separate from my beloved mother! But
when I saw old pupils laughing and talking merrily I regained my composure.
After the droll of a drum, we were instructed to stand in line to salute the colours and then go into our classes. A young
and mild-looking teacher greeted us at the door. And in a gentle voice, he taught us the first lesson that we never forget!
 TEST 22
Your favourite hobby
My hobby is reading books. I inherited a valuable collection of books from my deceased father and up till now my
cultural treasures have been preserved carefully.
Reading books broadens my mind improves my knowledge. They help me distinguish the bad from the good and
prevent me from doing wrong.
Reading books brings me minutes of happiness and pleasures. I have found a source of consolation and encouragement
in books when I am in despair. They're my true companions indeed. How relieved and comforted I feel when I can find
in good books good teachers and friends!
Instead of indulging myself in futile entertainments, I often absorbed in reading interesting books which always have
miracles to soothe my sorrows and hardships and reveal to me strange and new horizons.

TEST 23
Which season of the year do you like best? Why?
I was born in Northern Vietnam, where there are four clear seasons: Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each season
has its own charms and attractions. For example, spring is the season which offers beautiful flowers and warm weather;
summer is the season of nice holidays when we can enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as picnicking, camping,
swimming, fishing etc... Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while winter can give us such delight as gathering
by a fire to chat or tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like autumn best because of the following
reasons:
During autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time. The Autumnal sun
is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is not too cold or too hot. Then the coldish
northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of autumn. The leaves of the trees turning
yellow or red put a gorgeous coat of colours on nature. Autumn is such a wonderful season that many poems and songs
have been composed to sing the praises of the season. Autumn is also a season which reminds me of my first day at
school, when my mother took me by the hand and led me to school for the first time.
Last but not least, autumn is the time when I can enjoy my favourite fruit and dish which are the Japanese persimmons
and the green rice flakes. These are found only in autumn.

TEST 24
Smoking damages our health
(Smoking is harmful to our health)
Over the last thirty years, thanks to the efforts of various branches of science and technology, research has proved that
smoking damages health and shortens man's life-span.
According to a diagram (Bieu do}released by the World's Health Organization (WHO), the number of people who die
of diseases connected to smoking is increasing more and more. The more science and technology learn, the more
damage caused by smoking is discovered. Therefore, it seems that we can never put a final stop to the list of harm
caused by smoking.
First of all, smoking brings about the decline {Suy giam}of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys
15,000 cerebral cells.
Smoking is considered the number one cause of lung cancer etc... The main offending agents are carbon monoxide and
nicotine in the smoke. These cancers - causing agents are also the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer. The toxic
effects of smoke make the smoker's voice hoarse. Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks
to the teeth, and causes them to become dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm.
In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar "Le Quy Don" as saying some hundred years ago that
smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span; yet, few
people heeded his sage advice.

TEST 25
Describe your best friend and tell why you like him/her
Of all my friends, Thanh Hoa is my best friend since we enjoy each other's company so much that we'll miss each other
greatly if we don't meet at least once a week. Thanh Hoa is twenty-two years old but everyone thinks she looks much
younger. She's not so pretty but she's charming. She has a fair complexion that makes her look very healthy; here eyes
are clear and expressive.
She is a very reliable, mature girl with a great sense of humour. She is very "down-to-earth" and is often shy. She has
been with me in both good and bad times to either rejoice over something with me or to comfort me. She has a strong
personality with crystal clear view of "right and wrong". She's an honest, a loyal and a warm humanitarian. Some
people wonder how we can become such good friends because she is so quiet and I'm very energetic and outgoing. I
think (that) the idiom "opposites attract" is the answer.

TEST 26
Why is it necessary to learn English?
English is the international language of business. In order to discuss our country's products and services with other
people as well as to entice(loi keo) investment from foreign lands, we must do so in English. To communicate our
thoughts and ideas to other cultures, the best tool is English. Communication is our link to the outside world and, in
turn, our chance at economic growth. Most leading countries in the world either speak English or have English as their
second language. There are the countries that have the resources, technology and knowledge to help us grow.
We are also invited to learn so much from English speakers. We can experience the foods of Ireland, the natural
resources of Canada, the monuments of the U.S., the desert 'areas of Australia or the best fishing ports in New Zealand,
just by talking with, these citizens. We, in turn, can also express our feelings and interests about Vietnam. The sharing
of this kind of information is a bridge to long term friendships with people from all over the world

TEST 27
The benefits of sports and physical exercises
Nobody can deny the benefits of sports and physical exercises.
In fact, such sports as: swimming, jogging, jumping, playing tennis, football, basket - ball, volley - ball, skating, skiing
etc bring us a well - proportioned body.
When we practise a certain sport, our muscles are developed; blood circulates easily in blood vessels therefore we'll
have a good appetite and a sound sleep
As for me, my favourite sport is jogging in the morning and playing tennis in the afternoon. By practicing these sports
regularly I always feel fit and never get sick.
Health is much more precious than money. We can't lead a happy life if we are continually tortured by diseases.
Try to keep a clear mind in a healthy body and get accustomed to regular practice of certain sports, we'll feel life worth
living.

TEST 28
Describe the countryside in the morning
As usual, when the first cock crows break the complete silence of the country, every activity of a new day begins: The
villagers start getting up; buffalo tenders are calling each other to drive their cattle to the fields.
Smoke from the cottages is rising and spreading in the fresh air, mingling with the veil of morning mist. A few hours
later, in the west, a bright, fresh and newly-bathed sun is looming gradually from the hedge of green bamboos. The dew
drops on the grass and golden rice ears by the roadside are as resplendent as precious stones. Suddenly a lark flies up
and sings gaily, followed by thousands of his companions. A fresh breeze comes on, the yellow rice fields begin to
move and the pure air is redolent of soft fragrance. The scenery becomes livelier as groups of farmers are rushing, to
their fields talking and laughing merrily, ready to resume work of a new day.

TEST 29
Why are good books considered good teachers and friends?
When I read a book, I am swept away into my own little world discovering new things and imagining places only I can
see. It is a private dialogue between the author and me. There is no one to criticize or question me. I can read the book
at my own speed and savour it every moment. Books offer us the world. We can learn about history, geography, famous
and interesting people and different countries. It is the cheapest form of travel that I know! I love to read a variety of
authors and learn about new ideas and ways of expression. I also try to read a variety of books, from romance to
biographies and everything in between. I especially like adventure stories because it is in here that I can really put my
imagination to work! There is such a vast amount of information available in books. From the early ages to our recent
years we can continue to learn about a variety of topics and interests. School textbooks offer us the basics for learning
how to learn-from math to science, from language to arts. Recently, my father and brother were interested in building a
new table and chairs for our family's dinning room. Neither one of them is a carpenter. So how did they do it, your
might ask? They bought a book that showed them how! A good book truly merits respect whether it is a "how-to" book,
a good novel or a school textbook

TEST 30
You tell a foreigner about Vietnam, your beloved homeland
Vietnam is a long, narrow strip of land in the shape of a letter "S". We, Vietnamese, compare our country to the shape
of a dragon with the long narrow regions of the Centre forming the slender body, and the regions of the North forming
the head, mane and front legs. Vietnam has a total territory of 332.000 square kilometers, and a coastline which
meanders along the immense Pacific Ocean.
Being of a peace-loving nature the Vietnamese people nevertheless know how to react vigorously against adversities to
defend their homeland. Fiercely protective of their independence and sovereignty for 2.000 years, they are also
welcoming foreigners who come as their guests.
Most visitors who come to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country's natural setting. The Red
River Delta in the North, the Mekong River Delta in the South and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of
green rice fields (paddy-fields) tended from draw to dusk by peasants in conical hats. Visitors will also have the
opportunity to experience the energetic and purposeful performance in revitalizing the Vietnamese economy by the
Vietnamese. They will have their senses thrilled by all the sights, tastes and smells of a society born of over a century
between an ancient civilization and the ways of the West.
Despite the ravages of war in the past, the Vietnamese people are now determined to rebuild their homeland, making it
many times as rich and magnificent as it used to be following Uncle Ho's teaching.
