2. I’ve just seen a brilliant program about dolphin on television. Which program have you enjoyed recently? How much television do you watch?Mẫu 1: It was lovely to hear from you. I watch 4 hours of television each day. I have been watching The Sopranos lately. I did not get into it when it was actually on air, and I certianly didnt understand all the hype. Until my sister and I made an agreement that we would each pick shows to watch on tv and watch them together. I picked Game Of Thrones and she picked The Sopranos. After the first episode I didnt think I was going to like it, but now I absolutely love it. We have made it through season 5 and just waiting for season 6. I cant wait to see next season.
1 Câu đầu: July 14, 2012 Dear Ngọc Thanks for your letter. How are you? I hope you well. Câu cuối: That’ all for now looking forward your letter soon. See you soon! Take care. Hương 1. I’m glad you like learning English. Your teacher sounds really nice – and you friends to do too! Tell me all about your English classes. I am so happy to hear from you. As you know, I have attended to an English class lately. I am very interested in learning English because it is useful for my job. My teacher is Mrs… who is very energetic and have a good sense of humor. She knows lots. She shares her knowledge and experience freely. She knows how to make the lesson interesting and has a good menthod of teaching English There are 30 students in my class with many different ages. In spite of our age distance, we still have ability to work harmoniously together. We usually play games about previous lessons so we have many chances to talk with each others in English, of course. I love my teacher and and all the people in my English class. Sadly, we will not stay together for long since we will all go our separate ways after the final exams. 2. I’ve just seen a brilliant program about dolphin on television. Which program have you enjoyed recently? How much television do you watch? Mẫu 1: It was lovely to hear from you. I watch 4 hours of television each day. I have been watching The Sopranos lately. I did not get into it when it was actually on air, and I certianly didn't understand all the hype. Until my sister and I made an agreement that we would each pick shows to watch on tv and watch them together. I picked Game Of Thrones and she picked The Sopranos. After the first episode I didn't think I was going to like it, but now I absolutely love it. We have made it through season 5 and just waiting for season 6. I can't wait to see next season. Mẫu 2: There are many intersting programs on TV nowadays. For example new, sports, movies and gameshow. But I like the evening news most. The program is it 7p.m on VTV everday. It often lasts 45 minutes. In the program there is a lot of new information about VN and the world. They are news stories about everyday life economy, politics, sports and weather forecost. Thanks to the program, I can update with everything going on in our country and all over the world. Also, I like watching the evening news because I really like the presenter Quang Minh. He looks smart. He has a warm voice. Watching this program makes me well informed and relaxed after a hard working day. Mẫu 3: Among many programs and channels available on TV these days such as the current news programs, sport programs, entertaining programs, educational programs and movie programs, etc., I like the program “the World of Animals” most. This program is usually shown on VTV2 everyday at 8.30 in the evening. It often lasts about 45 minutes. In this program, stories of the life of many animals in the world are told in a very lively way. For example, people can watch films about monkeys, snakes, tigers, insects, birds, sea turtles, sharks etc. … and even the penguins and the polar bears in the far North. While watching these films, I find the everyday life activities and habits of these animals very interesting and full mysteries. In addition, I also learn that it is very important to protect these animals and their living environments because they are part of our valuable natural world. Watching this program makes me very well informed and relaxed after a day of work. 2 3. I went to a live concert last night with my friends. It was great! Do you often go to concerts? What kinds of music do you like listening to? Who is your favourite singer? Tell me all about it. Mẫu 1: How are you? It is so nice to hear from you. I love rock music. Since all my favorite rock bands is overseas and my country is hardly on their concert tours, I try to get out and support local artists in my area as money expenes allow. My favorite singer is in Guns n’ Roses, a rock and roll band. His name is Axl Rose. He still look fanstastic at the age of 50. I can tell you that I am his biggest fan in the world. His lyrics are some of the most intense and emotionally raw I have ever heard. His voice makes me feel warm inside. I wish I can see him in real life someday. Mẫu 2:Last night, I went to a live concert with my friends. It was a Linkin Park concert. I extremely like Rock music and Linkin Park is my favorite Rock band. I was in the middle section of the crowd. In front of us were these girls who jumped and sang with the lyrics. Much as the same as I did, I screamed, laughed, clapped, jumped, to any song that I loved. We were in the middle section of the venue; we saw everything from the screens on the left and right side of the stage, including a smaller screen at the top. The stage was wide, full of lights and lamps. The bass and sound would be thumping through the crowd as if it were our own hearts beating to the music. The bass would vibrate in our bodies but, we didn't care we were having fun. Therefore, whenever I feel sad, listening to rock music blows away all sadness and I have become more power and stronger. It was outside that's why it probably wasn't bad. 4. I know you often play sports at weekends. What’s you favourite sport? Tell me about it! Thank you for writing to me. As you know, I often play sports at weekends and my favorite sport is swimming. Swimming has been my favourite sport since I was very small. I learnt to swim when I was just 5 years old. Swimming is truly the best way to work out because the whole body is worked. It’s always the sport that keep me fit and healthy. It’s so much fun when I go to the pool with my family at weekends. I teach my little sister how to swim and then we play water basketball game. After swimming, all the stress quickly go away so I can start a new week in a good mode. 5. We had dinner at a new restaurant yesterday. It was great! How often do you eat out? What’s you favourite restaurant like? Mẫu 1: It was lovely to hear from you my dear. I often eat out with my family on public holidays. My favorite restaurant is Milan-restaurant, on Nghi Tam Street. The restaurant is built on the big land near Ho Tay - one of the most popular places in Ha Noi. The main dish is bake meat with hot sauce and fresh vegetables which is very delicious. The interiors almost are wood's material. I like this style as it make me feel relax and nearly with nature. It also have plants at corners and a vase on each table with lovely flowers. Furthermore, the atmosphere is nice, its services are good, the prices are reasonable and the sights are beautiful. Mẫu 2: Food has always been an item of high priority mainly because it is one of the basic needs of man apart from shelter and clothing. It is evident from the literatures that man has always been keen to have proper food and in its quest he has discovered a wide variety of food items. It is true that some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants whereas other prefers to prepare and eat at home. I had dinner at a new restaurant yesterdays and it was great. The food was so delicious. Moreover, the services was so quickly and professional. I rarely eat out because it will be paid ten times or more money than eat at home. Maybe this money will be enough to support my food for one week at home. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I always choose restaurant where available from burgers to Asian food like Sen Restaurant or Ngon Restaurant. Because the atmosphere is cozy and the price is reasonable for me. Therefore, I always eat out at big events with my family such as birthday party or anniversary. 3 6. I know you’re just moved to a new house. In your next letter, would you describe it to me? Mẫu 1: Thanks for writing to me my dear. I moved to my new house 4 days ago. This is the house that I’ve ever dreamed of. Its outside the town with a lot of trees, fresh air surrounding the area that we can never have if we live in the city. My house has 3 floors with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The first floor consists of a living room and a kitchen. The second floor consists of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The lower ground floor consists of laundry area and storage. But the best part of the house is my lovely garden which has many different types of plants. It looks gorgeous with lush green grass and lots of wildflowers. I am so happy to have it! You should totally come to visit me when you have time. Mẫu 2: Perhaps you know that I have just move to Ha Dong province, Viet Nam where is near my parents house. I was very glad to find there a pleasant change from the noisy, crowded city life. My house is open on all four sides, surrounded by fruit gardens and green fields. I was glad to take my breath in the fresh air while playing with my cousins and their friends. I spent some time everyday in swimming in the nearby stream and thus I enjoyed very much. I was very much pleased with the life in the province where everyone was so good to me. I enjoyed the traditional foods, home- made delicious sweets and many types of fruits. It would be great if you could spend your weekend to visit my new house. I strongly believe that you will feel excited with everything here. Mẫu 3: I live in a house in Hanoi/ Hai Phong… The house is in a small and quiet street in ………… district of Hanoi/…It takes about half an hout to go to the city center.

Although everyone were very tired, we were happy because of the fresh air surrouding the area. On the first day, we went to the beach for swimming and sunbathing. After swimming, my mom walked along the beach, I collected the seashells and my sisters built sand castles. Then we had delicious lunch with seafood. In the afternoon, it was sunny but in the evening, the wind blew strongly that we felt a bit cool. On the second day, we went to the souvenir stores to buy some gifts for our relatives and friends. then we walked on the pavement to watch the sight. On the last day, we went to the beach again and took some photos. Then we packed our bags and go home. After the trip, everyone was very excited. I am looking forward to having a wonderful holiday like that again. 8. You went to a party last weekend, didn’t you? Did you have a good time there? Tell me about party!

Avoid soft drinks or canned fruit juices. Next will be exercise of course. You don't have to run for hours, or spend several hours at a gym, or playing football or tennis, or riding a bike. You can start by doing simple exercises. Remember, simple but really important. The last one should be your timetable. Try not to work late and eat before 7pm. That’s all advices I can give to you.

Vegetable is rich of vitamins and minerals which help a lot to keep body fit. So, I’m sure that if you follow my advice, you will see that everything will work out.

I’m glad you like your job. In your next letter, tell me about it! Mẫu 1: It was lovely to hear from you recently my dear. I has been a sales assistant at the fashion and clothing retail chain Boo for 4 months. Of course there are so much things I have to learn because I had never been a sales assistant before but now when I get used to it, I really enjoy my job. My daily routines start with making sure that all stock is on display. When customers come in, I help them find products they are looking for or give information about the features, quality and availability of different products. And if necessary, I’ll give in-depth technical advice about products. I’ll make sure that the customer aware of any special offers. Furthermore, the atmosphere in here is good and everybody seems so nice. I am really happy with this job. Mẫu 2: Do you remember the last time we spoke and I told you that I had been invited for a second interview at FPT Corporation? Well, they were really impressed with my portfolio so they hired me. The package was too good to refuse. I will be getting double the salary, plus commission. The working hours are also better than my previous job. What is more, the two hour journey to my previous job was really draining so it’s great that I can now walk to the office. As I’ve been given the title of Creative Director, it is my responsibility to come up with new concepts for our clients’ advertising campaigns. I have a team of five members to manage and the accounts of large clients. I will be in charge from the initial idea all the way through to the final product.

Mẫu 1: I am writing this letter to tell you about Nam, one of my close friends. Nam’s family is not rich enough. His parents are retired workers. Realizing the hardships of his parents, although he is absorbed in his study, he often spends most of his spare time doing useful things to help his parents in their old age. He gets up early in the morning to have enough time to deliver newspapers to subscribers before going to school. After school in the afternoon, he repairs bicycles and motorbikes. Therefore the money he gets from his manual job is sufficient for his school fees and for his parents’ presents. I like Nam very much because of his honesty and straight forwardness. He is always ready to help his weak friends in their study; as a result, lots of friends, thanks to his whole-hearted help, have become good ones. In my relation with Nam, I have got precious experience: thirst for learning, patience to overcome difficulties, helpfulness and filial piety. Mẫu 2: I have had many friends so far, but Thanh Nga is one of my close friends. Nga is about 30 years old and is now working a researcher at an institute in Hanoi. We met each other when we were in the secondary school. During those days, we went to school together everyday, studied in the same class and shared with each other all the joys and sorrow, so we have become close friends since then. My friend Nga is not very tall, but pretty with long black hair and a nice smile. She is a very sincere, modest and helpful person. She likes painting and painted many pictures. Also, I can still remember that Nga was very good at literature and foreign languages. We often meet each other when we have time. When we are very busy, we often talk to each other on the phone or we chat on the Internet. Whenever we meet, we often go to see other friends, go shopping or sit in a quite place to have coffee. We talk about our life and share with each other our good news or problems and see if we can help each other. Nga is really a good friend of mine, a friend for life. 6 12. I know you often go to the cinema. Tell me about the last film you saw and whether you enjoy it. It is nice to hear from you my dear. The last film I saw was War Horse. It is an epic war film directed by Steven Spielberg. The main characters are Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson and David Thewlis. War Horse is the epic story of a friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert. Jeremy Irvine as Young Albert enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse (Joey) is sold to the cavalry. Albert's hopeful journey takes him out of England and across Europe as the war rages on. This movie is a tale of loyalty, hope and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War. I enjoyed it very much because of its famous director and the happy ending. You should totally watch this movie when you have time. 13. Could you give me some advice?

She would tell the class to do their best, and she had fun ways for us to understand new concepts. She was always very kind to the class, and would answer all the questions we asked. I have kept the advice that she gave us and still strive to do my absolute best in all that I do. I am very grateful for all that I learned from her, and that it has influenced me so much. 15.
