B. SAMPLE OF SPEAKING TEST
1. Read out loud the following paragraph and answer examiner’s questions (6
points)
I'm from Vancouver, Canada and the public transportation is not very good so not as
many people use it as in some other countries where it's more efficient. The bus lines
don't go in the most efficient places and the train systems are very limited.
So, if I compare that to that of Japan, the trains in Japan are very efficient and being on a
train in Japan is sometimes it's similar to be being on an airplane in first class. You have a
big seat, comfortable space, snacks, vending machine, washrooms, so I would have to say
that's preferable.
Example:
Examiner: How is the public transportation in Canada?
Student: It is not very good.
2. Topic (4 points)
Talk about a future mean of transport.
Suggestions:
● Describe it.

to borrow(bo râu) your piano. I will study from 2 p.m to 4 p.m. can I borrow it at that
time? I am very happy if you accept(ic xép) my proposal(per pâu sồ). I am looking
forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

Paragraph 8:
Hey Julie,
I hope things are good with you. What are you doing on Thursday night? I’ve got
a spare(spe ờ) ticket(tíc kịt) for a comedy show in Camden?
Would you like to come? We could go out for dinner after the show? There’s nice Thai
restaurant(Rét thâu rừn) near the market. Let me know if you’re interested.
Speak soon.

Paragraph 9:
Hi Samia,
Just a quick email to say that sounds like a great idea. Saturday is better for me
because I'm meeting my parents on Sunday. So, if that's still good for you, why don't you
come here? Then you can see the new flat and all the work we've done on the kitchen
since we moved in. We can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon. It's going
to be so good to catch(cát ch) up finally(fai nờ li). I want to hear all about your new job!
Love
Linda

convert it into PowerPoint(pao ờ poi) and print 10 hard copies for other people in the
class.
Kind regard(re ka),

Paragraph 11:
TikTok will allow 10-minute videos. It started in 2018 with one-minute videos. That
tripled to three minutes in 2021. A company spokesperson said the company wants to
"enrich(in rich) the TikTok experience(ic per riiền)." Longer videos may give people
more time "to create and be entertained(in ter tên)".
Longer videos means TikTok will rival YouTube. However, young people like shorter
videos. They could move to other websites where they can look at many videos quickly.
Longer videos may increase(in cry) TikTok's profits(plo fitj) because they are easier(I si
ờ) to make money from.
Paragraph 12:
Many people are worried about fast fashion. Cheap clothes are damaging(đem mờ zing)
the environment. Companies(company) make 100 billion items(ai đừm) of clothing every
year. Many clothes are not recycled. They go to landfills(len fiul). Chemicals(kem mi cồ)
used to make clothes damage the health(heo) of clothes factory workers.
People used to go to stores and try clothes on. They wore clothes for longer. Today,
people take clothes back if they don't like them, or never wear them. We have a
throwaway society(cẻ sai ờ đi. Four million tons of clothing ends up in the trash. Less
than one per cent of this is recycled."
Paragraph 13:
Ferrari(phơ ra rì) is famous for sports cars that are very fast. The company is now making
clothes. It started its own clothes brand. It stopped making cars at its factory for a short
time so models could walk down a catwalk. Ferrari wants its clothes brand(bờ ren) to
make up 10 per cent of its profits in ten years from now.
The designer(đơ zai nờ) of Ferrari's clothes used to work for the brand Armani(ơ ma nì).
He used many bright(b rai t) colors in his new clothes, including(in ckiu dingd) "Ferrari
red". He thinks his clothes will be popular with young people.
Paragraph 14:
Nike gave its office(óp fits ) workers a week-long holiday to de-stress. The sportswear (s
pốt whe ờ)company closed its offices so workers could "enjoy additional(ơ đít sừn nồ)
time off to rest and recover". Nike wanted workers to "take the time to de-stress and
spend time with loved ones." Nike's store workers worked as usual(iu duờ ờ) .
7
Nike said: "Taking time for rest and recovery(ri co vờ ry) is key to performing well. This
past year has been rough(rao ph). We're all human and living through a traumatic(chơ ma
tíc) event(ơ ven)." The holiday shows that Nike cares about mental health.
Paragraph 15:
Apple removed customer(cát tờ mờ) reviews from its online stores. Customers cannot
read feedback about Apple's products. Apple removed the "Ratings and Reviews" section
from stores in the US, UK and Australia. People have to visit other websites for reviews
on Apple products. Apple has not said why it did this.
The website pcmag.com( pi si mẹt thát com) said: "Apple has decided its online store is
better without customer feedback." It also said Apple might be repairing the system.
Paragraph 16:
The New York Times bought Wordle (bót was rồ) . The paper has many games. Wordle
is a new game. It was uploaded in October. It is now a worldwide craze(was wai creetj).
Social(sâu sồ) media is full of posts from people playing it and sharing their score. The
newspaper called it a "magical game".
Wordle's(was rồ) maker made Wordle for his partner(pót nờ) to play. He said: "The game
has got bigger than I ever imagined(ơ me dừn)." Ninety people played it on the day of its
release(rơ li). Millions now play it every day. Players have to guess(gét) a five-letter
word.
Paragraph 17:
A report showed the best 25 companies in the USA to work for. Top of the list was
Google. It is famous for excellent working conditions. Facebook was number one last
year. A Google software(shop we ờ) engineer(en dơ nia) gets very good money. One old
Google employee said staff(s táp f) are so happy that they rarely re lì)take holidays.
A different survey(sơ vè) had a different number one. The careers website Glassdoor said
the consulting(kên so ting) firm Bain (hơm ben)and Company was the best. It has been
very professional (per phét sừn nồ) for over 40 years. This made the company grow.
Paragraph 18:
A USA-China trade war(trây was ờ) may start. Stock markets in Asia fell(ây sờ pheo)
because people are worried. President Donald Trump(p re si đừn đôn 5 trăm) wants to put
tariffs(teo rờ) on Chinese goods. A tariff is a tax on imports. Mr Trump wants to put
tariffs on $60(sĩ ty dolar) billion of Chinese imports. China said it would do the same.
8
If the USA uses tariffs, China will hit back. Then the U.S. will hit back further(phơ dờ).
Trump wants to protect U.S. workers. He is not happy because the USA buys $385(three
hundred ết ty fai do lả) billion more goods from China than China buys from the USA.
Paragraph 19:
Toyota is closing two elevators(eo lơ vây tờ) at its Tokyo headquarters(hét cua tờ). It
wants to save money and electricity. This is because the Japanese yen is becoming
stronger. In January, one dollar was nearly 120 yen; now it is 101( one hăng đrót and
first) yen. A strong yen means Toyota cars are more expensive, so profit goes down.
Toyota's profit last year was $23 billion.
Toyota is also changing the temperature(tem pẻ chờ) of air conditioners to save money. It
did similar things after the financial crisis (fai nen sồ crai tựt) in 2008( tow thau dừn ết).
Toyota said the most important thing about closing the elevators is to make workers
understand more about the need to reduce waste.
Paragraph 20:
Google's boss said Europe should be like Silicon Valley( sơ li cừn va ly). Many famous
technology companies are in Silicon Valley. Technology companies can do business (bít
nít)there easily(y sồ ly). It is easy to start a new business there. He said Europe should
start spending money on "big ideas".
Google's boss has $62 billion to spend. He wants to help Europe. He also wants to change
the world. Other business leaders say Europe must spend money on technology. Teachers
want schools to teach technology and coding in elementary(eo lơ men t ly) school.
Paragraph 21:
A Chinese company is now the world's third-largest( la gựt) smartphone maker. The
company is called Xiaomi Inc(sao mi íc). It is worth $45 billion. That is more than LG,
Motorola(mô tô lâu rà) and Sony put together. Xiaomi's sales went up by 211 per cent
last year. Its market share also went up from 2 per cent to 5 per cent.
Xiaomi sells phones for what they cost to make. It makes profit from apps and
software(shop we ờ). It has competitions(com pẻ tít sừn) for fans to win prizes(p rai sờ).
Xiaomi wants to make new, high-quality devices. Apple said Xiaomi stole(s tô) the
design( đơ zai) of its iPhone and other ideas.
Paragraph 22:
Amazon is now in the grocery( g râu swo rì) delivery(đơ lít ve ry) business. Its service
(sơ vệt)is called Amazon Pantry(pen chi). A pantry is a small room in a house for food.
9
Amazon will have a next-day delivery service for groceries(g râu sơ ry). Customers(cát tờ
mờ) can choose from more than 4,000( fo thau dừn) goods, from food to beauty products.
It will sell fresh fruit and vegetables next year.
Shoppers might not use Pantry. It costs $4.50 for the first 20kg. Customers must be
members of Amazon Prime(p rai). This costs $120 a year. Amazon said Pantry(pen try) is
convenient(cân vi niền). People don't need to carry heavy groceries every day.
Paragraph 23:
There is a price war between taxi companies. Apps are making taxis cheaper. Some
companies cut fares(phe ờ) in half. London taxi drivers are unhappy with taxi apps. They
say drivers of app taxis do not have enough knowledge(en nát no lít) of London's streets.
Some taxi fares in London went down from $45 to $7.50.
A taxi app boss said the price war would mean more profits. He said companies should
do things to be different. A London taxi driver said business was good. He said
technology helps taxi drivers. One of New York's biggest taxi companies is unhappy with
taxi apps.
Paragraph 24:
Panasonic's Japanese staff in China will get "pollution pay". This is because of China's
pollution. No one knows who will get the pay, or how much it is. Workers who work in
other countries usually get extra pay. Panasonic is the first company to give money
because of pollution.
Pollution is a big problem in China. It is 15 times higher than healthy levels. China is
fighting a "war on pollution" in almost every big city. There are thousands more factories
now. There are also thousands more cars on China's roads.
Paragraph 25:
The number of jobless 15-24-year-olds is very high. Over 73 million want to work but
cannot find a job. Youth unemployment is coming down in rich countries, but rising in
poorer countries. In China, it was 10.6 (ten pon six)per cent last year and could be 11.1
per cent in 2016.
It is hard to be young and looking for work. The unemployment figure for young women
in the Middle East is around 45 per cent. One big reason is the global financial collapse
( fai nen sồ cô láp)of 2008. Youth unemployment isn't just bad for the economy. It is also
bad for health, peace and happiness.
