Personal 1. Talk about the most embarrassing experience in your life.
experiences
I have experienced many embarrassing moments but the one that makes me confused most is
talking to a stranger I thought I knew. I will never forget that time in ha tinh city, I and my
close friend went to a library, when I immersed myself in reading books, she suddenly went
somewhere and afterwards, I talked about what I had read without paying attention to whom
standing behind me. Only when someone glanced at me did I realized that that was not my
friend. Not surprisingly, my face became a tomato.
2. Talk about the best memory in your life.
I have some great moments to share but the one I would like to describe is the day when my
parents gifted me a doll. I was just 10 years old when my parents gave me this beautiful Barbie
doll on the day I won the first prize in running competition. I was very happy and made boost
of it to all my friends.
3. Talk about your first day at school.

As it was my first in the new school, I didn't know where was my classroom and which
division I belongs to. So i was searching for the class for almost an hour and still couldn't find
the location. At last, I found the teachers' room and I entered inside. All teachers surprisingly
looking at me because I went entered without asking their permission. One of the teachers
initially yelled at me about my behavior and I explained it's my first day in school. Finally, the
same teacher showed me my classroom.

Somehow I managed to search for a place to seat and settled down. To my surprise, I found
that a few of my previous school classmates were also in the class. I introduce myself to the
whole classroom and share my hobbies and carrier goals.

Overall, For me, this first day of school was a mixed feeling and I think I will never forget that
day. I always keep in touch every now and then with classmates and sometimes we have a get-
together also

4. Talk about the best gift you have ever received.


I have received numerous gifts in my life and among them, the most exciting one was the
Laptop my father gave to me when I was 14 years old. When I was 10, I found that many of
my friends had their own computers and I was profoundly fascinated by this wonderful
machine and dreamt about owning one someday. I would like to thank you for the chance to let
me talk about the best gift that I have ever received - luckily it was a gift that came from the
person I really admire.
After being promoted to grade six in my school, I got admitted to a computer training center
and learned some basic computing. Whenever I visited a friend or a classmate who had a
computer, I felt fascinated being there- especially when I could play games, learn how to
operate a new software, browse the Internet, edit a picture and so on. I sometimes visited some
of my friends’ houses more often than usual only because they had computers. Thus this
phenomenon machine became the only dream of my life. As I knew my father was not in a
financial condition to buy me a brand-new computer, I did not ask for one. I made a dummy
computer using papers, boards and other materials and played with it- something unusual for a
boy at my age! One day I bought a piggy bank and started saving coins and notes with the sole
intention to buy a computer someday. After one month or so, I found that I saved only ten
dollars in total and that was somewhat frustrating!
With time, and I would say with a little maturity, I got busy with other stuff and could hardly
find time to visit friends’ houses to use their computers, but at a hidden corner of my heart, I
felt the same fascination for owning a computer. On my 14th birthday, my father told me that
he wants to take me to the computer shop and purchase a brand-new computer for me. I could
not believe what I heard! That night it was tough for me to sleep. In the morning I wake up
earlier than usual and went to a computer shop with my father. He bought a Dell Laptop that
was a Pentium 4 machine. While returning home, I found myself on cloud nine. I opened the
box after returning home and showed it to my mother and other relatives.
As a young child, that was a long-expected gift that my father gave to me, and till now it’s the
best present -materialistically speaking, someone gave to me. You know how passionate we
can sometimes become, especially in our childhood, when we long for something. I know it
was not easy for my father to buy me this computer from his financial condition but still, he
sacrificed his other joys to make me happy. That was something truly special.
5. Talk about the most interesting person you have ever met.
I first met Mr. Albert when he came to our class as a physics teacher. He is basically a lecturer
in our school and this is his main profession. Apart from that, he writes for a science magazine
and also works there as a part-time consultant.

There are many aspects I find very interesting about him. First, the way he dresses is quite
primitive and outdated. Someone mistakenly will think him as a clerk or as a jobless person
instead of being a professor of a large university. Interestingly his preference for wrist-watches
and shoes are quite exceptional and all of his watches and shoes are branded and must be very
expensive. He is a gifted person with a quite remarkable way of teaching and inspiring others.
I personally like his teaching style very much. Finally, he has a rich collection of books but he
never lends any books to anyone. As an explanation, he once told us that people hardly return
his books.

Everything I know about this person is quite interesting to me. Thus he is probably the most
interesting person I have ever known.

Social network 1. What are advantages of social network?


Social networks bring about lots of advantages. First and for most, they are the fastest and
most convenient way people communicate nowadays. People no longer need to write or send
letter and wait for a long time before receiving the responses. They just need a smartphone, a
tablet or a laptop that is connected to Internet to talk face to face with the others even when
they live far from each other. Another huge advantage of social networks is that they are a way
to spread beautiful messages. For example, when there is someone meeting difficulties, people
can post the information on facebook or zalo to raise fund. Thanks to social platforms, there
are many disabled are helped and many people living poverty can be supported. Besides, social
networks help the firms and corporations advertise their products and buy them online, which
raise their revenue dramatically. Students use social platform to share study tips and help each
other in learning.

3. What kind of social networking website do you often use?
My preferred social media network is absolutely Instagram. It is also one of the most
ubiquitous social channels, besides Facebook, among the young generation. I feel I can express
myself more privately through Instagram. It presents a snapshot of my life and conveys my
personality.
4. What are the advantages of facebook?
Nowadays, going along with the rapid development of information technology, social media
especially facebook is becoming very popular for youth. It brings many benefits for users.
First and foremost, it is a huge community for people around the world to connect with each
other without the barrier of distances. No matter where you are, you are able to connect with
others at every corner around the world if you are connected to the Internet. Facebook is a
suitable place for those who want to make friends, chat, talk, discuss or even just want to share
something to remove stress.
Secondly, one of the main Facebook advantages is that it provides tons of gaming and other
entertaining applications. Some people open Facebook only to play games. Besides games,
there are tons of Facebook apps that you can use and enjoy. Furthermore, there are hundreds of
Facebook pages where you will find funny videos and pictures to enjoy on a daily basis.
Lastly, through Facebook Ads, you can advertise your business. Facebook offers a very
customizable ads placement service, which is also very easy to use and cost
effective. Facebook Ads allows you to target people of specific age, geographic location,
interests, etc, making your ads most useful and effective.
5. What are the disadvantages of facebook?
The disadvantages of Facebook include addiction, malware, viruses, identity theft, reduced
productivity, antisocial behavior and relationship issues. Facebook is potentially addictive for
many of its users, and extended use reduces productivity. Using Facebook also leaves a
personal computer vulnerable to viruses and malware attacks. This social media platform can
create tension in relationships as a result of users connecting with people from previous
relationships.
Scams are another disadvantage of Facebook. This social media platform is filled with scams
and hackers that attempt to steal login and account information.
Facebook is an addictive communication tool on which some users spend excessive amounts
of time commenting, updating and looking through photos. Using Facebook constantly
throughout the day wastes valuable time that could be used on productive activities.
Nature in danger 1. Why are many kinds of animals endangered?
Humans are largely responsible when animals become extinct, endangered or threatened. Here
are some reasons why animals become endangered:
Destruction of habitat. Humans destroy precious habitat--the natural environment of a living
thing--when they fill swamps and marshes, dam rivers and cut down trees to build homes,
roads and other developments.
Pollution. Oil spills, acid rain and water pollution have been devastating for many species of
fish and birds.
Hunting and Fishing. Many animals are over-hunted because their meat, fur and other parts are
very valuable.
Exotic species. When animals or plants arrive into a new habitat from a foreign place they
sometimes introduce diseases that the native species can't fight. These "exotic" species can
also prey on the native species.
2. What should we do to stop hunting and poaching?
These days, many species become extinct for the reasons of being ceaselessly poached. So,
people have to swing into action to stop hunting and poaching and there are some of solutions:
Firstly, to protect the animals, more wildlife rangers and scouts need to be recruited. It is a
source of income for the employees, and they will help protect endangered animals.
Secondly, make tougher laws and regulations. The legal systems are already in place and they
outlaw the practices. However, poaching still continues, meaning the law needs to be
toughened.
Thirdly, give animals sanctuary. Some animals are on the verge of extinction and can only be
protected at sanctuaries. The same should be done to more animals, and their populations will
go higher.
Last but not least, raise awareness is also indispensable. People should be aware of the extent
of the seriousness of this issue and together with other individuals to decrease the use of
products which stems from parts of animals.
3. What should be done to protect endangered species?
These days, many species become extinct for many reasons such as over-hunted, pollution ad
destruction of habitat. In answer to, humans have to swing into action to protect endangered
species and there are some of possible solutions:
Firstly, Learn about endangered species in your area. Teach your friends and family about the
wonderful wildlife, birds, fish and plants that live near you. The first step to protecting
endangered species is learning about how interesting and important they are.
Secondly, Recycle and buy sustainable products. Buy recycled paper and sustainable products
but don’t use products made of wood from forests and endangered trees. Don’t use palm oil
because forests where tigers live are being cut down to plant palm plantations.
Thirdly, Minimize use of herbicides and pesticides. Herbicides and pesticides are hazardous
pollutants that can affect wildlife at many levels. Excess fertilizer will likely wash into streams
and rivers and may lead to mutation of many species and even death.
Last but not least, government should make tougher laws and regulations to protect animals
from poaching and over-hunting which may lead to the condition of being on the verge of
extinction of many species.
4. By what ways have people endangered the nature?
Humans are largely responsible when animals become extinct, endangered or threatened. Here
are some reasons why animals become endangered:
Firstly, humans are responsible for the destruction of habitat. Humans destroy precious
habitat--the natural environment of a living thing--when they fill swamps and marshes, dam
rivers and cut down trees to build homes, roads and other developments.
Secondly, pollution. Oil spills, acid rain and water pollution caused by many humans activities
have been devastating for many species of fish and birds.
Last but not least, hunting and fishing. Many animals are over-hunted because their meat, fur
and other parts are very valuable.
5. How important are animals to human beings?
There are a number of reasons why animals are important to human beings. The main reason is
that animals benefit us personally, socially and economically.
Firstly, Animals can be our friends, companions, protectors, benefactors and comforters.
People who own pets and have close bond with them have higher self-esteem, generally
happier and healthier.
Secondly, Animals provide many other benefits to humans. They provide milk, meat, fur,
medicine extraction and so on… these things are absolutely indispensable in our daily life.
Last but not least, animals play a pivotal part in the biological balance. Without many species,
humans and other animals completely cannot thrive. For example, if there are no bees in the
world, flowers cannot be pollinated which lead to the extinction of many plants and humans
are also negatively influenced.

Famous 1. Describe a famous person who you admire
people/Celebrities
Okay I'm gonna talk about Thái Vân Linh - also known as Shark Linh - a female leader I'd
love to see in person. I will refer to her as 'Shark Linh' in this small talk.
Although born in Vietnam, Shark Linh was brought to the US with her family when she was
very little. Therefore, whereas she has an impressive command of English, she's still
occasionally struggling in getting her ideas across in Vietnamese. However, the language
barrier does not hinder her from embarking on a new venture in Vietnam. she rejected great
offers from American corporations to become the CEO at Vietnam Capital, and later launched
her own start-up
Shark Linh is most famous for her role as a Shark in Shark Tank Vietnam - the Vietnamese
version of the famous reality TV series. Though she's usually the calmer Shark among the four
who usually take a gentler approach when she makes comments on others, she's also very
sharp upon making decisions. From what I've observed throughout the series, Shark Linh only
invested in fields she had great knowledge of.
Shark Linh has been a great role model for Vietnamese young women. Her famous saying "I
see no discrepancy in agility and ability between men and women" and her appearance in the
show has inspired thousands of Vietnamese women, encouraging them to work in the field of
finance.

2. Which qualities should a famous person have?


The quality that a famous person should have is respect. Respect as in the person will be how
much famous but they will never forget their roots that once upon a time they were also a
personality, so they will talk to every person no matter from where they have come or who
they are.
Another, they should be creative, risk-taking, multi-talented and perseverant. For example,
Creativity allows for ideas and innovation. Ideas and innovation often lead to money and
success. Or a celebrity has had to deal with many failures and difficulties to become
successful and famous. So, perseverance is absolutely indispensable.
3. Do you want to be famous? Why or why not?
I wouldn't like to be famous, because according to me it's not important the fame, but the
principal thing is to try to realize your dreams. I think that I would prefer to become a man
carried in his work and capable of being useful to society. To be famous isn't the aim of my
life, even because the fame is temporary and very short, but mostly the fame doesn't enrich the
soul and the heart, probably except for the outer surface. Besides I wouldn't be remembered by
other people as a person for whom the fame is the substance of his life, but I would be
remembered for what I am and for providing a utility service for the other. The important thing
is not to concentrate on what the other people can think about you, but on what you believe it
is correct for your life. It's better to be yourself rather than a seemingly very popular mask that
lives of applause. I wouldn't like to be famous!
4. What are advantages of being famous?
Becoming a celebrity or a famous person has a host of advantages.
Firstly, celebrities and famous people get special treatment wherever they go. celebrities are
given the advantage of being the preferred customers everywhere they go, from special seats at
theaters to special tables at restaurants.
Secondly, being famous generally means being richer. The fame brings celebrities with many
things such as fortune, possession and the most important is opportunities of being promoted
and earning much more money.
Thirdly, celebrities and famous people have their loyal fans. Fan mail and other forms of
appreciation that celebrities receive can be inspirational, motivational, and very
humbling. Also, they may be recognized everywhere they go. That must be very proud and
happy.
5. What are disadvantages of being famous?
Becoming a celebrity or a famous person has a host of disadvantages.
Firstly, celebrities can’t do things that normal people can do. They may be forced to live in
their own little secluded world, and will generally be unable to do things that the average
individuals can. They can’t indulge in their pleasures such as shopping in grocery shop,
playing ball at neighborhood playground and so on…
Secondly, celebrities have no privacy. Their life is not only theirs anymore. It’s everybody’s,
apparently. There will be a lot of paparazzi around them which means that they are always
worried about people running after them to take pictures…
Thirdly, celebrities and famous people have to travel all the time. They tend to have to be away
from friends and family for long periods of time.
Last but not least, celebrities may have many rumors. People love to start rumors about
celebrities. Sometimes it is not a big deal, but sometimes people can say some really nasty
things about them and it can have a negative effect on their life, their future, and their family.
School events 1. Do you like joining English speaking clubs at school? Why or why not?
Yes, absolutely. Because joining in English speaking clubs at school has a host of benefits.
You can use what you learn. An English Club is a place for language learners to use English in
a casual setting. Practicing your skills in the classroom is important, but it is not like real life.
In an English Club, you get a chance to practice many different skills in a setting that is more
like real life. Though your English teacher understands your English, your English Club
friends will require you to speak more clearly and listen more carefully.
Another, you can make English-speaking friends. Starting an English Club is a great way to
make new lasting friendships. It is important to have good ESL friends because your
confidence will increase if you do. You will feel more comfortable using English around
people you trust and have fun with. Don't limit your friends to the people in your class.
2. Describe a school event you have ever joined.
3. What are benefits of school events?
On-campus social gatherings benefit students in ways that no book, lecture or workshop can
fully replicate. Here are a few benefits of school events:
Firstly, to develop emotional intelligence. Social events develop social skills and empathy. The
interactions or conversations elicited by events helps students build relationships and
understand different perspectives.
Secondly, to take a break. All work with no breaks diminishes productivity. It’s good to take
one’s mind off the troubles of exams or reports from time to time. Whether it’s by watching a
movie or volunteering for a fundraiser, a “study break” lets students recover by focusing on
activities that exercise other creative, mental muscles.
Thirdly, to build relationships. Participating in on-campus social events enables students to
meet people who share common interests and individuals. Relationship-building is a good
habit that students need to learn because the world of work requires skills in negotiation,
communication and networking.
4. What kind of school club do you like joining?
Well, there are many kinds of school club such as dance club, drawing club, and sports club.
But when it comes to the most I like joining, I would say English speaking club because many
reasons. You can use what you learn. An English Club is a place for language learners to use
English in a casual setting. Practicing your skills in the classroom is important, but it is not like
real life. In an English Club, you get a chance to practice many different skills in a setting that
is more like real life. Though your English teacher understands your English, your English
Club friends will require you to speak more clearly and listen more carefully.
Another, you can make English-speaking friends. Starting an English Club is a great way to
make new lasting friendships. It is important to have good ESL friends because your
confidence will increase if you do. You will feel more comfortable using English around
people you trust and have fun with. Don't limit your friends to the people in your class.

Travelling 1. Describe your best trip.
A few months ago, I went to the South of Vietnam for a vacation with my family. It’s was to
the lovely coastal city of Nha Trang, which is also a very famous tourist destination. 
I was so eager for the trip that I prepared everything such as my clothes, camera and other
accessories a week in advance. It took about an hour to fly there, and luckily, the flight took
off on time. The trip began with an incredible view from the airplane window and I can still
remember being quite overwhelmed by the beauty of my city from above and the amazing
sunset.
The time we spent in Nha Trang was a blast. We got to try out so many new things such
as skydiving, surfing, and diving to see the coral reef. This place has one of the most beautiful
beaches in Vietnam with deep blue water and pearly-white sand. Also, the food there was
so unique and delicious. I think the most memorable moment of that trip though was definitely
when we bought fresh ingredients from a local market and grilled them by the beach. Sitting
there by the fire on a breezy night with the delicious smell freshly barbequed fish was an
amazing experience.
The trip to Nha Trang really was the holiday of a lifetime. We had a lot of fun and got to see a
lot of spectacular scenery. We definitely enjoyed it and we will definitely go there again if we
have a chance.
2. Do you prefer to travel alone or in a group? Why? 
Well, it’s quite hard to answer. I kinda like it better when I’m on my own, cuz you know…
I’m an introvert. I can do all the freedom for me to decide where I should go, what I should do
and where I should eat. At the same time, It’s kinda nice to have someone around to share all
that you are experimenting. I think some trips are just meant to be like that. Sometimes you are
off to travel by yourself, might be the right time to do and it’s the time when you can
thoroughly immerse yourself in what you want most. But other times is meant to be to travel
with friends and family, it’s the time for you to be connected with people, to get to know them
inside out.
3. Who do you prefer to travel with, your family or your friends? Why?
Well, it’s quite hard to answer. Actually, I kinda like it better when I’m on my own, cuz you
know… I’m an introvert. But occasionally, it may be nice to travel with family and friends.
Holidays with parents afford a very good opportunity to actually relax – away from loud
music, poor service, booze, etc. Vacations with family also create a bonding opportunity at a
slower pace. Given that you spend a lot of time in school you see your friends quite often, and
a family vacation would help reconnect with the family, which can become an absolutely
refreshing experience. At the same time, the planning process for the trip itself is fun and you
get to do that together with your friends. Making a list of fun events, writing about places to
visit, things to be done, shopping for items, and the communication back and forth itself makes
up half the fun of the whole trip, because of the excitement it builds. In short, in some cases it
could be more interesting to travel with your family, another, it could be friends for your ideal
journey
4. What kind of transport do you prefer when travelling? Why?
Well, when it comes to a journey, I’d choose trains, buses, and bicycles. Renting a bike is the
best option in crowded cities. You also have buses, trains. Being a traveler, I am always
looking for ways to save money. And taking trains and buses are the best ways to save money
to save money on your travels. Plus, you also get to meet the locals and you have a great
chance to be friends with them and learn about their culture. Locals can also tell you about the
places that are not much explored.
5. Which do you prefer: travelling in your country or travelling abroad?
Well, as we all know, Viet Nam, our country, has many places for a wonderful and interesting
journey such as Nha Trang, Da Nang, Phu Quoc island and so on. To travel to these
destinations must be awesome but personally if I have a chance, I will choose to travel abroad.
I really want to experience exotic and different cultures. I want to figure out foreign local’s
cuisine, their daily life and their different things which may not exist in my country. Moreover,
traveling abroad helps me meet with sense of satisfaction as I always want to go to Japan to
visit the hometown of Doraemon, my most favorite characteristic.
1. What are benefits of using public transportation?
It’s undeniable that the development of infrastructure results in an increasing number of
Traffic
transports, especially public transportation. Considering the current worldwide affair, public
transports have advantages over any other means of transport.
First and foremost, the benefit of public transports places on its positive on the environment. It
goes without saying that traveling by public transports reduces contamination and road
congestion. The more people travel by train or bus, the fewer cars are on road, thus requiring
less land used for road infrastructure. What is more, using public transports reduces the
amount of fossil fuels needed to run an array of private ones.
Secondly, public transportation does man good in terms of society. To be more specific, it
helps foster a sense of community. For instance, traveling together is more likely to feel a
community connection than those traveling in cars in isolation. Besides, it encourages people
to have a healthier lifestyle, especially if they are walking or cycling to their station or stop.
Furthermore, traveling by public transports is less stressful. Rather than driving in traffic jam
or wasting time looking for an elusive carpark, public transports passengers an listen to music,
read a book or play games…
Last but not least, not only is public transportation economical for individuals but also for the
society. It’s impossible to say that traveling by public transports is cheaper than owning and
operating a car. Plus, it reduces the need for building vast car parks on valuable land that could
have otherwise been used as highly prized office or retail space. However, frankly speaking,
the habit of public transportation has not yet been popular in developing countries like
Vietnam. People should be informed about the advantages brought by public transports to
create a better world
2. What are traffic problems in your hometown?
3. What are causes of traffic jams?
In modern life we have to face with many problems, one of which is traffic congestion
becoming more serious day after day. It is said that the high volume of vehicles, the inadequate
infrastructure and the irrational distribution of the development are main reasons for increasing
traffic jam.
The major cause leading to traffic congestion is the high number of vehicles which was caused
by the population and the development of economy. For recent decades, as population of the
world has dramatically surged and the demand for transporting has increased, the volume of
vehicles has consequently increased. This poses a huge pressure the transportation system of
many countries, especially developing ones.
That the inadequate infrastructure cannot handle the issue of traffic is also a crucial reason.
The public transport such as bus, subway or train is not available and its quality is very bad,
especially in the developing countries. Besides, the highway and road network are incapable of
meeting the requirement of increasing number of vehicle. Apparently, the irrational
distribution and the lack of conscience make the traffic worse and worse. The head offices, the
universities or hospitals often locate in the center of city attracting a heavy flow of people in
rush hour. 
4. What is your favorite means of transport?
My favorite means of transportation is motorcycle. I usually call it is an iron horse. Nowadays,
traffic is very disorderly. The roads are narrow and have many potholes. So I think
that motorcycle is a good choice in the current situation. This kind of vehicle is more flexible
than cars. In addition, the price of a motorbike is suitable for my finance.
The motorcycle is very useful for my life because it helps me save a lot of time, when I go to
school and when I hang out with friends. I know that because infrastructure in our country is
not very good, traffic jams or accidents often happen when many kinds of transportation means
attend on narrow streets at the same time. Anyway, I think that not only me but also a lot of
people like to ride motorbikes like me. In short, motorcycle is the most popular transportation
means vehicle in our country.  
5. What should we do to reduce traffic accidents?
In modern life we have to face with many problems, one of which is traffic accidents
becoming more serious day after day. So people should swing into action to solve this extreme
matters. There are some possible solutions we should do to reduce traffic accidents.
Firstly, smarter streets must be designed and constructed. Smart street design can enhance
safety and quality of life by improving visibility and accessibility for people walking and
cycling and encourage safer behavior from drivers.
Secondly, people must manage speeds to safe levels. Speed controls have a significant impact
on the likelihood and severity of a crash as every 1 percent increase in speed there is a 4
percent increase in fatal crashes.
Thirdly, it’s important to improve road user education. Education programs for new drivers
should be thorough, highly supervised, regulated, hands-on and start early. Such programs
should be introduced in schools to help adolescents build their competencies as early as
possible.
Moreover, government should enforce existing laws and regulations. Improvements in traffic
law enforcement can lead to rapid reductions in deaths and injuries. Requiring drivers to obey
the speed limit, wear seatbelts, avoid drunk driving, and use child restraints can have a
powerful impact on changing road user behavior.
Your 1. Which do you prefer, living in a big city or in the countryside?
hometown/cities/vill
2. What are advantages of living in the countryside?
age
Living in the countryside has a host of advantages.
Firstly, it’s true that living in the countryside means having a peaceful and tranquil life. There
are a lot of picturesque landscapes such as rivers, mountain and so on.
Secondly, people who live in the countryside can avoid being influenced by pollution. The
atmosphere is fresher and there are a lot 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.
Thirdly, 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.
Last but not least, people living in rural areas are very friendly and solid. They are willing to
help others whenever someone needs. For example, when one has celebration like wedding
ceremony, neighbors will gather together and assist to prepare for this day.
3. What are disadvantages of living in the countryside?
Living in the countryside has a host of disadvantages.
Firstly, there may be shortage of connection with technology such as the Internet, social
network and computers. This may lead to the condition of being behind the time and cannot
update with the latest information.
Secondly, people living in rural areas just have a little chance to meet with satisfied and well-

Any attempt to count down the most important technological inventions is certainly debatable,

invented. Certainly, early humans observed incidents of fire, but it wasn't until they figured out
how to control it and produce it themselves that humans could really make use of everything
this new tool had to offer. The earliest use of fire goes back as far as two million years ago,

3. What are disadvantages of smartphone?
Smartphones are the friendly gadgets which have made everything reachable through a touch.
They have occupied such a huge place in our daily lives that it is no wonder that for most of
us, a smartphone is the first thing we look at in the morning and it is the last thing we see
before going to bed. Let’s learn about how we can benefit from smartphones.
First and foremost, it makes communication easier. Smartphones developed from the earliest
devices for communication. It has therefore been built to primarily strengthen the way people
interact with each other. The development of technology for smartphones modernized
communications. It has paved the way for SMS, text messages, calls, video chat, and
applications that allow individuals to connect with others around the world instantly.
Secondly, Smartphones also make it easier for users to surf the internet. These devices are
integrated with mobile browsers that allow websites to be searched and viewed anywhere and
at any time. 10% of the total time spent by people on smartphones is used in order to open
browsers to surf the internet, according to a survey. Through this, people have simple access to
the information.

more immersive learning by watching instructional videos and playing educational apps with

Smartphones are the friendly gadgets which have made everything reachable through a touch.
They have occupied such a huge place in our daily lives that it is no wonder that for most of
us, a smartphone is the first thing we look at in the morning and it is the last thing we see
before going to bed. But they have both benefits and drawbacks. So what the disadvantages of
smartphones are.
First and foremost, using too much smartphones can lead to many health problems. Late night
chats and playing games on your phone in bright screen results to eye issues. Network waves
can result in some skin cancers. There is even more if you plan to scrutinize the poor effects of
using a smartphone. Among the problems are eye cancer, sleeplessness that induces chronic
exhaustion during the day and infertility due to Wi-Fi connectivity.
Secondly, Interesting games and social websites are available on smartphones that can
contribute to addiction, more so to the kids growing up before they reach the age of ten. Some
schools have thus restricted the use of cell phones in school premises. For most people, it is no
wonder that for most of us, a smartphone is the first thing we look at in the morning and it is
the last thing we see before going to bed.
Thirdly, with a smartphone, you can be distracted quickly. Since accidents can occur, you have
to be careful. Put away your phone and focus if you are driving. Everything that’s on your
phone can wait until you get home. With these handheld devices, do not endanger your life.
Another problem is social etiquette.
Furthermore, smartphones may have some cons such as uncensored contents, risk of data loss
and chances of losing money….
5. What is the most useful labor-saving device?
Well, it is a common knowledge that labor-saving devices are inventions that reduce the time
and effort needed to perform or complete a task. Farm equipment, home appliances and
construction equipment are examples of mechanical inventions that save time and physical
labor. But when it comes to the most useful labor-saving device, it literally is refrigerator. It
allows for keeping fresh food fresh or even enjoying leftovers. With longer safe-consumption
periods, it's better for your home's budget as well as the planet's health. The longer food lasts,
the more chances it will be consumed.
Entertainment 1. Talk about your favorite free time activity.
 I had so many favorite activities but I would like to share one of my favorite activity which I
seemed so interesting.
My most favorite activity was watching movies and reading comics. I loved so much to watch
movies and reading comics. I watched movies whenever I got a free time at my home. During
the school days, I came at home and finished my homework as quickly as possible so that I can
get a free time to watch at least one full movie. I loved to watch movies at the day and loved to
read comics at evening or night time. That time, everyone knew about my these hobbies. So,
they ever gifted me comics and movies DVD at my birthday. In movies and comics, I liked to
watch and read cartoon categories.
2. Is playing computer games good or bad?
The computer is used for a variety of purpose and computer games are one of those things,
computer games are played not only by kids but by people of all ages. It may have both
advantages and disadvantages. On the on hand, computer games help people increase focus
and attention because games require a certain amount of skill and memory in order to clear the
stage of the game, also they remove stress and pressure after a hard day of working and
studying. Moreover, they help us think quickly, make fast analysis and decisions, and enhance
the ability to cooperate when playing with others as computer games are considered as a ideal
means to bring people together. On the other hand, computer games may lead to many health-
related problems like eyes problem, back pain, headache, and other diseases, also gamers may
do less of physical activities which again results in many other diseases. Spending too much
time playing games is waste of time. Since computer games are addictive people, especially
children, and if they spend hours of the day playing game, they may not have time to do
anything else.
3. What is the most popular form of entertainment in your community?
Well, there are a lot of entertaining form in my community. But when it comes to the most
popular, I would say video games as they now have an enormous impact on daily life.
Computer games are played not only by kids but by people of all ages as they provide us with
many vivid, attractive and interesting images, videos and characteristics. And humans are
intrinsically curious, so they may find it difficult not to be engrossed by these glamorous
things. People consider them as an ideal way to relieve their pressure and stress after a hard
day of working and studying. Some people play these games for the purpose of earning money
as they can get the money from amounts of viewers watching their videos or livestream on
social media. And now it is trendy that many youngsters earn a living by this way.
4. How do you spend your free time?
With today’s fast-paced lives, people usually no longer have the luxury of having free time. As
a student at high school, I may not also have so much free time so when I am available, I must
make use of it. Usually, I spend my spare time taking up my hobby, sleeping. It’s so
embarrassed to say that but in fact, I’m a kind of person who sleeps a lot. I can consume all the
day to satisfy my demand for sleeping. Besides, if it isn’t for the purpose of sleeping, I may
spend a stint of my free time watching movies, particularly cartoon and anime, my favorite
genre of movies. I really like sitting in front of the screen and gradually watching interesting
and newly movies. I feel it extremely relaxed and satisfied which may help me to remove
pressure and stress after a hard period of studying. And, you know… I’m an introvert so it’s
also more comfortable and convenient for me to stay at home watching a movie rather than
going out and doing outdoor activities.
5. How important are outdoor activities to children?
It is a common knowledge that outdoor activities play a pivotal role in the development of a
child. Children can benefit a lot from these activities. Outdoor play helps ensure that kids get
enough sunlight and that’s exceptionally good for their bodies and brains. As we all know,
sunlight provide humans with an essential amount of vitamin D which is really important for
our ability to absorb calcium and the development of our body. Kids also get more vigorous
exercises when they’re outdoors. For example, many physical activities take place outdoors
such as soccer, volleyball, many traditional games and so on… Outdoor play offers children
special opportunities to learn new things. Children can experience the things around them and
learn essential skills such as communicating, solving with dilemmas, admitting being defeated,
etc.. Last but not least, it helps children connect with nature. It is clearly that when humans
mingle with nature, they may have better recovery from stress and lower a risk of behavior
problems. Also, positive experiences with nature may raise a child’s awareness of how much
the importance of ecosystem is and it will teach kids to respect and protect the environment.
Ways to learn 1. What are advantages of modern devices in learning?
In the modern world, technological advancements have deeply influenced education. Mobile
devices, computers and other technological wonders are now being used in the classroom.
There is no doubt that they are beneficial and considered as a blessing for learners. The
widespread use of cutting-edge devices and the Internet have made learning easier and more
accessible. Here are some advantages of them in education:
Firstly, they help learners independently studying at their own pace. The Internet provide
people with information in any fields. No matter what you need to know, you can easily find
that online. Students can use the Internet without the assistance of teachers as immeasurably
educational resources.
Secondly, learning with technology is much more interesting and efficient. There was a time
when students just had a very few helpful tools for learning. But now, they can use a host of
learning tools including mobile devices, computers and so on. With more vivid and attractive
images and videos, lessons are now delivered in more interesting ways.
Thirdly, modern technology allows us to get easier access to lower tuition and textbook prices.
More resources are now available, students less rely on physical textbooks so the cost of them
has decreased. Moreover, as students are learning online, they are also less dependent on
tuition. In answer to, tuition fee has become less.
2. What are benefits of learning online?
Well, you know…. Online learning is a popular alternative to traditional on-campus, in-person
learning. In fact, the pandemic has demonstrated what a practical, sustainable model online
learning is. It keeps education accessible during a public health crisis, natural disaster, or other
circumstance where students and faculty can’t travel. The format of online courses can help
you thrive both personally and academically, helping you meet your goals.
Firstly, it’s comfort of learning from your own home. Some days, you don’t want to leave the
house. It’s understandable. Work becomes too stressful, friends become too demanding, and
your body needs a rest. One of the hidden advantages of online learning is the element of
flexibility and self-care it allows you to enjoy.
Secondly, you can study at your own pace. In an online learning environment, you set the
pace. You can skip through or repeat the material as many times as you need to feel confident
in your learning.
Thirdly, you can study with thousands of students worldwide. Your fellow students come from
different cultures that you may never have known about before. The more you broaden your
horizons, the more powerful the learning experience becomes.
Furthermore, learning online can help students to reduce pressure, burgeon their brain, avoid
the dreaded commute and so forth…
3. Should students be allowed to use smartphones in class? Why or why not?
Students should be able to use their phones during class. I think this because phones have
many good tools and more resources for students to use. They can also help students stay on
top of classwork and homework. They can help students create better studying habits,
organization skills, and time management.
Using social media can keep students interested in class and encourage them to participate in
discussion. Some teachers create Twitter hashtags or message boards students can use during
class discussions to share thoughts and ideas. This can be especially helpful for students who
might not be comfortable speaking in class.
However, there are some cons to allowing students to use their phones.  For example, they
could be texting, gaming, as well as doing things that are inappropriate and cheating on
important tests. 
4. Suggest some effective ways to learn English?
Well, as we all know, English is the most commonly studied second language in the
world. When you’re learning English, it’s important to keep your motivation up. As with any
task, there may be times when it feels a bit more difficult, so switch up your methods and don’t
be afraid to make mistakes – you’ll reach the level you want to be at… There are many
efficient ways to learn English.

Firstly, start speaking as soon as possible. If you are serious about learning to speak English
quickly, the evidence is clear: having regular conversations with a fluent speaker is pretty
much the only way.

Secondly, get with the language. One of the most effective and easy ways to learn English is to
fully immerse yourself in the language. It gives a huge impetus to study and absorb the
language.

Thirdly, read to learn English. You could really give your reading skills a boost here – but your
speaking skills can benefit, too. The more you read English text to yourself or aloud, the more
confidence you will have. If you feel nervous, start by practicing at home then move on to
reading in front of an audience and asking for their feedback. 

Furthermore, to improve your English level, you should practice it on a daily basis, boost your
vocabulary with flashcards, watch English programs, movies and shows, try to create an ideal
environment where you can take it easy to learn and practice English by yourself.

5. Which do you think is more effective, individual work or groupwork?


Well, actually, I've worked both in groups and independently, and I've found that I can focus
much better on the task at hand when I work independently. I've always been someone who
needs peace and quiet in order to concentrate and perform well. Because, you know…. I’m an
introvert. If it's too noisy or there's too much going on around me, I can't formulate my
thoughts well. My teachers have told me that I work best aerobically. That means that I work
hard and fast (and solo), like a runner working out on a treadmill.
