I like living in the countryside because it is a peaceful place, the air is fresh and the space is quiet Swimming is a popular activity in the countryside There are many seas and rivers with many beautiful scences, so people visit a lot There are many differences between living in the countryside and living in the city In the countryside, there are many trees and fresh air, but facilities are lacking In the city, there are many factories, enterprises, developed economy and polluted environment due to smog Now, let’s talk about Photography (Do you like taking photos?/ a popular activity in Vietnam?

As you know, to bring to the market a new product, there are many different forms such as on the Internet, on TV and in newspapers First, I think newspaper advertising is the cheapest form of advertising However, this form often has little access to customers and is not suitable for young people Next, TV advertising is considered one of the most effective forms of advertising today Its advantage is the wide transmission range and attract many viewers However, it costs a lot of money and has to be screened many times So I think the best option to advertise a new product is on the Internet In my opinion, in the current information technology era, everyone uses social networks, so it is easy to reach customers In conclusion, advertising new products on the Internet is my best choice Situation: The best present for a friend working for a travel magazine: a suitcase, a lamp, a pen What you think is the best choice for them? I'm planning my friend's upcoming present I wondered what to buy: a suitcase, a lamp, a pen At first, I thought of the pen, because it is very suitable for her work But I remember she already owns a lot of pens Then I think I can change I can buy a suitcase, it helps to carry documents and laptop for the trip However, I don't have enough money for this at the moment So I decided to prepare the present of a lamp With his current job, he often has to stay up at night The lamp helps to illuminate the working base and also serves as a decoration on the table In conclusion, I will prepare the lamp as a gift for my best friend It's the best choice, I think so Part 3: Topic Development Test 1: Firstly, it offers a flexible travelling mode Passengers might enjoy deep discounts on undersold flights, or they can have good deals on early booking Second, cheap flights could reduce travelling costs In some cases, passengers can save up to 70% of costs with flexible travel time and destinations Finally, cheap flights also helps boost world travel because visitors can take advantage of low-budget flights which help them minimize cost-related problems on travel In conclusion, cheap air travel should be enhanced because of its benefits I completely agree that governments should encourage cheap flight because this is a good way to improve remote areas, increase employment and develop country's economy Although cheap flights are beneficial, there may be problems with this kind of travel such as extra costs for baggage and on-flight meals, small seats and limited legroom, low safety and nonrefundability In my opinion, cheap air tickets should be offered on domestic flights because it can increase local trade, develop tourism nationwide and offer flexible transport modes However, it also can be offered on international flights because it can promote world travel and increase international trade Test 2: I think that music should be taught to students in schools because of some reasons In conclusion, teaching music in schools brings a lot of benefits to students, so it is necessary to enhance this practice for the sake of the students First, music can be relaxing It is clear that music at school can help reduce stress and entertain students For example, soothing music can help students relax and keep calm Second, studying music can help students improve their memory because the skill of memorizing music tunes can help them study well Moreover, music can help develop students' imagination and creativity A student good at music is proved to be better at creating new things Finally, music can make students have positive attitudes toward the world Students of music usually have an optimistic thought about their future I absolutely agree that children should be encouraged to learn music early because children can feel the sense of achievement When studying music, they will keep interested and engaged in school and learn to think creatively In my opinion, music can change people's moods or feelings For example, soothing music can calm feelings, or stimulating music can wake up feelings If life was without music, it could fail to enrich people's inner life and soul, and it cannot release the sense of emotional freedom Past 3: There are several ways for people to make friends The first way is to join social events For example, people can take part in annual meetings, workshops, seminars at work In free time, people should attend shows, exhibitions, fairs or charity events Second, to make friends, people should form interest-based group It means that people can participate in groups which share the same interests such as sports clubs, cooking clubs, reading or art clubs, and so on Moreover, attending parties is also another way to make friends Parties like weeding receptions, anniversaries or company parties usually brings chances to meet new people Finally, people can volunteering jobs, or take part in social network sites, or traveling In conclusion, it is easy to make friends if one person follows these above ways 1 In my opinion, people can trust online friends if they have frequent communication together Moreover, people should track down friends' profiles or uploaded messages To have a true friendship, people should have common interests so that they can easily share ideas together They should be good listeners and respect each other In my opinion, both family and friends are important In fact, family members are close by nature and friends are close by interests or personality Both family and friendship bring happiness and give a sense of love, joy, and laughter However, family ties tend to be longer and more reassuring Test 4: More recycling centers should be built in communities because they bring a lot of benefits The first good point of recycling center is to reduce the size of landfills Building a recycling center can cut down the amount of rubbish that goes to landfills Second, a recycling center can help utilize waste products It can help keep and reuse waste that would be lost to landfill sites And it can cut down the cost and effort of transport and production Moreover, recycling centers can offer employment opportunities There are more jobs such as waste collecting, transporting, sorting and reprocessing Finally, it is good to build recycling centers because this can deal with climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions In conclusion, establishing recycling factories is very necessary for communities Yes, I always try to recycles things as part of my everyday life For example, I cut down on disposable products, use more reusable items, sort trash or save energy I absolutely agree that everyone should reuse and recycle products because it is to protect the environment in the long term Moreover, if people that, they can increase environmental responsibility It can help reduce levels of pollution and tackle some causes of global warming Past 5: There are several factors that lead to success in life The first reason for a person to be successful is to have education and skills If people are knowledgeable and skillful, they can minimize obstacles and avoid mistakes They can work effectively and achieve their goals Second, to succeed, people should have passion because passion can help them stay consistent to the plans, have a desire for overcoming challenges and enjoy the sense of making progress Finally, people should have vision Vision can help them to set up plans and anticipate problems They can make good strategies to fulfill tasks and see things done as a whole plan In conclusion, success can be achieved if a person makes effort to improve these above factors Money is the most common way of judging success because … My idea of success is not the same as my parents' idea of success In my opinion, I think success should be achieved at a very young age However, my parents think that success can be a state of being selfsatisfied and measured by things done for communities rather than for individuals I think that luck plays a part in success because PHẦN SPEAKINGN WRITING Part 1: Informal email Tast (20p) Dear
