Topic 43: Talk about the market

1. How often do you go to the market?


2. What sorts of things do you buy there?
3. What are the benefits of going to the market?
I usually go to the market about twice a week. It’s a regular routine for me,
especially when I need to buy fresh food. I prefer going in the morning when the
market is less.
At the market, I typically buy vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. I like to get
fresh ingredients for my meals. Sometimes, I also buy spices or herbs for cooking,
and I love browsing for homemade products like jams or local snacks. crowded
and I can find the freshest produce.
Going to the market has several benefits. First, the food there is often fresher
and more affordable than in supermarkets. You can also support local farmers and
businesses by buying directly from them. Moreover, it's a great opportunity to
interact with the sellers and get advice on how to pick the best produce or prepare
certain dishes. It's also an enjoyable experience for me to explore the vibrant
atmosphere.
Topic 44: Owning a pet.
1. What type of animal do you want to have as a pet?
2. When did you first have a pet? How did you get it?
3. At what age do you think people should start to own a pet?
To tell the truth, I’d love to have a dog as a pet. Dogs are incredibly loyal,
friendly, and they always bring joy to the family. I think they can bring a lot of joy
to a household. They can also be great companions for outdoor activities like
walking or running.
Well, the first time I had a pet was when I was in high school. It was a
birthday gift from my father. I remember how excited I was to receive it, as it had
been something I had wanted for a long time. My father decided to get me a dog,
and I was thrilled. It became a beloved member of the family and I learned a lot
about responsibility while taking care of it.
In my opinion, people should start owning a pet when they are around five
years old. At this age, children are old enough to understand the basic
responsibilities of looking after an animal, like feeding them or cleaning up after
them. Of course, the actual responsibility will mostly fall on the parents, but
having a pet can teach children empathy and how to care for others, which is very
important for their development.
Topic 45: Computer brands
1. What is your favorite computer brand?
2. When did you start using that brand?

Well, my favorite computer brand is Apple because it is both popular and
reliable. I’ve been using Apple products for several years now, and I’ve always
been impressed by their performance and design. The brand is known for creating
high-quality devices with a sleek look, and they offer a smooth user experience. I
also like the ecosystem that Apple provides, which makes it easy to sync and use
multiple devices together.
Actually, I started using Apple products when I attended university. Before
that, I used other brands, but I decided to switch to Apple because I needed a
laptop that was both portable and powerful for my studies. I bought a MacBook,
and I was amazed by how fast and reliable it was. Since then, I’ve also started
using an iPhone and an iPad, and I’ve never looked back.
Of course, I will continue using that brand in the future because it has
proven to be really good. I trust Apple for their quality, design, and innovation. As

I have also used paper maps in the past when technology wasn’t available.
Actually, I prefer electronic maps because they are more convenient. With
electronic maps on my phone, I can get real-time updates and accurate directions.
They also allow me to zoom in and out, find nearby places, and adjust my route if
necessary. I find them much easier to use than paper maps, especially when I’m in
a hurry.
Honestly, I sometimes ask for directions instead of using a map. This usually
happens when there is no internet connection in some places, especially in remote
areas where GPS doesn’t work well. I’ve had situations where I couldn’t get a

the beautiful scenery along the way, which I think is one of the best parts of the
journey. The ride is relaxing and comfortable, and I can see parts of the country I
wouldn't normally notice when travelling by other means.
Firstly, one of the main benefits of travelling by train is that I can look at the
beautiful scenery through the window. Secondly, the fare is affordable, so it’s a
cost-effective way to travel. Trains are also more comfortable and spacious
compared to buses or planes, which makes the journey more enjoyable.
BY PLANE
Yes, I have travelled by plane several times. My first experience was when I
went on a family vacation abroad. I remember feeling both excited and a little
nervous at first, but after a few flights, I became much more comfortable with it.
In Vietnam, I feel that air travel is quite convenient, especially for long-
distance journeys. The major airports, like Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City or
Noi Bai in Hanoi, are modern and well-equipped. The flight services have
improved a lot over the past few years, with both budget and full-service airlines
offering a variety of options. Overall, the service is good, and air travel in Vietnam
is becoming more accessible.
There are many advantages to travelling by plane. First, it is the fastest way
to cover long distances. For example, a flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City
takes only about two hours, while travelling by train or bus would take much
longer. Second, planes offer high levels of safety. Air travel is one of the safest
modes of transportation, thanks to strict regulations and modern technology.
