like the dry season. Firstly, in the dry season, we can do many things very conveniently
and comfortably such as going to school, going on picnic, traveling whenever I like,
while in the wet season, rains day after day prevent us from doing many things.
Secondly, the dry season is always peaceful for our living. On the contrary, floods,
storms, thunders, landslides are deadly disasters which often come in the rainy season.

people, especially the poor. In the mean time, bad phenomena of weather usually
happen in the wet season, causing the life of very many people meet difficulties.

camping with my family or my friends whenever I like without worrying about the

above is often clear and bright, making the whole panorama of Ha Long Bay strangely
attractive and full of poetry.
Key 2: Hoi An Ancient Town is an ideal place for foreign visitors in Vietnam. It is

crazy stuff. The place where we camped was adjacent to a huge forest. I, who was

all interested in what I said.

I play cards with my roommates and chat about all things that we can imagine and go to
bed very late. On Sunday morning, I also get up late to relax since my busy study from
Monday through Friday always makes me tired. Besides, at weekends, I often buy
delicious food to enjoy and to nourish my body. On Sunday afternoon, I do nothing but
relax and listen to music or watch TV. Every once a month, I return to my homeland to

phố hay làng quê)
Key 1: In my opinion, I prefer living to a city because it brings me many advantages.
First, big cities bring me many good educational opportunities because educational
institutions always locate in urban areas. In contrast, the countryside gives me no
chance to attend higher education. Similarly, it is always easier to find a job in a city
than in the countryside because industries and services concentrate in urban areas and
attract all kinds of laborers. Meanwhile, labor markets in the countryside develops
slowly and thus it is very difficult to apply for a job there. Moreover, big cities still give us
conveniences of the modern life. On the contrary, rural areas are slow, backward before
the progress of human civilization. All in all, the reasons that I have told you keeps me
always loving to live in big cities.

speaking, it is a peaceful place. The air is fresh. The space is quiet. We can enjoy

situation is always complicated with all kinds of crimes, rural areas are much more
secure because most of countrymen are friendly and ready to help one another.

many ways to keep our health if we really pay attention to it.

for gasoline to use vehicles having engines, a bicycle requires no money for gasoline at
all. On the other hand, bicycling is good for your health. You sit still as riding a
motorbike, but with a bicycle, you surely have chances to do body exercises regularly,

we can get expected results almost immediately. Next, computers are useful for our
study. Nowadays, with a computer connecting to the internet, we can learn a lot of
things all over the world. Moreover, computers are also wonderful means of
entertainment. With media soft-wares, we can enjoy all kinds of films, plays and music.

documents and memorial photographs safely for a long time. In short, computers have
been improving our life and work better and better.

which considerably contributes to our understandings. In addition, we can have
interesting relationships when we travel to somewhere. Sudden friendships coming with
us in our trips brings us sweet memories and warm feelings everywhere, making us not
feel lonely or strange anywhere we come and visit. Briefly speaking, traveling is

14. If you were a billionaire, what would you do?(Nếu bạn là một tỷ phú, bạn sẽ làm gì?)
Key 1: If I were a billionaire, I would build a vocational school for street children. The
following are the reasons of my decision. First of all, street children are very poor. They
have no job, no home, very little money. Their lives are unstable in streets. In addition,
street children are helpless. They are put aside society. Their bad destinies are always
in danger. Finally, street children are the results of the mistakes of adults. They are
innocent. Therefore, they are worth of being helped to have a chance for a better life. It
is the above mentioned things that I decide to build a vocational school for helping
street children when I become a billionaire.
Key 2: If I were a billionaire, I would build a completely human-centered, eco-friendly,
self-sustaining town that would become a health and wellness hub. It would be 100%
environmentally-friendly with an abundance of free healthy meals, free emotional
counseling and wellness programs in every building block so we would live in a happier,
healthier society.We don't have to look far to see how mental health problems affect our
society as a whole.

the dog is lovely. There are many dogs which have beautiful hair. Their faces are often

to play with and he can act as a good companion of mine. There are many reasons why
many people are keen on having a pet at home. Pets are capable of acting as a
companion to people and make some elder people feel less lonely. In addition, some
kinds of pets such as dogs and cats can keep the house safe from unwanted intruders.
