With the advancement of science and technology, phone has become the smart friend of everyone. It is no denial of the benefits that the phone brings because of the following reasons. First of all, the basic benefit of the phone is that it makes communication become easier than ever. Previously, to communicate with another, one had to write a hand letter, which was very troublesome and sometimes the letter could be misplaced.

Với thành tích học tập tốt, hè năm ngoái bố mẹ đã thưởng cho tôi một chuyến đi biển Vũng Tàu diễm lệ và tràn đầy sức sống. Tôi không thể nào diễn tả được cảm xúc của mình: vừa vui mừng, vừa tự hào vì đây là phần thưởng tôi đạt được sau một quá trình phấn đấu. 

Ngồi trên xe, ngắm đường phố vào sáng sớm, tôi thấy thành phố nơi tôi ở sao mà đẹp thế! Hai bên đường trồng hai hàng cây xanh mát tươi tốt, thẳng tắp như những chú bộ đội đang đi diễu hành. Vừa đi đường, vừa ngắm cảnh, cuối cùng chúng tôi cũng đến biển. Biển Vũng Tàu mơ mộng nhưng cũng tràn đầy sức sống làm tôi đứng mê mẩn quên cả lời mẹ dặn dò khi xuống tắm. 

Cái mùi mặn mặn của biển trong làn gió thổi nhẹ qua làn tóc tôi khiến tôi cảm thấy rất thích thú. Khi gia đình tôi nhận phòng, nhìn từ cửa sổ tầng năm tôi ngắm được toàn cảnh thành phố Vũng Tàu thân yêu, đây là một thành phố xinh đẹp và phát triển, đúng là một thành phố du lịch.

Hôm nay trời thật đẹp, bầu trời trong vắt một màu xanh, không một gợn mây. Có một vài con chim biển đang bay lượn trên trời như muốn nhập bọn với những trò vui của du khách nơi đây! Mặt trời trông như quả bóng lửa rực rỡ giữa một màu xanh trong veo. Khi bố mẹ bảo tôi có thể xuống bãi rồi, tôi mừng rỡ chạy nhanh như cá được gặp nước, tôi đã mong chờ giây phút này lâu lắm rồi! 

Bờ cát mềm mịn, mát lạnh khiến tôi có cảm giác như mình đang đứng trên một tấm thảm màu vàng nhạt bằng nhung. Bước ra xa một chút là bàn chân tôi đã chạm những ngọn sóng tràn bờ. Những ngọn sóng nghịch ngợm  vỗ đến chân tôi từng đợt, từng đợt một. 

Nước biển mát vô cùng! Biển mênh mông vô tận. Biển như một tấm gương khổng lồ phản chiếu lại hình ảnh của bầu trời. Hình như tôi đạp phải thứ gì đó! A! Là những chiếc vỏ ốc. Nhìn chúng đọng nước biển, lấp lánh dưới ánh nắng mặt trời đẹp thật! Cái màu trắng ngà, cái màu đỏ, cái màu hồng nhạt,… thật đẹp, tôi sẽ gom chúng lại để về nhà làm vòng đeo hoặc trang trí căn phòng nhỏ. 

Phóng tầm mắt nhìn về bãi biển, những chiếc dù đủ màu nhìn sống động như những cây kẹo mút khổng lồ. Du khách về đây tắm biển rất đông, có cả du khách trong nước và du khách nước ngoài.Tất cả họ đều rất vui vẻ và thân thiện, dường như trở về đây để quên đi những mệt mỏi, để tận hưởng cuộc sống nên gương mặt ai cũng sảng khoái và vui vẻ. 

Trên bãi biển, du khách chơi những trò chơi thể thao, trông rất vui, như: bóng chuyền, bóng nước. Xa xa, nhiều du khách đi thuyền buồm và lướt ván, những đứa trẻ thì xây lâu đài cát hoặc chạy nhảy tung tăng đùa với những con sóng. Cả gia đình tôi cùng nhau tắm biển, cùng nhau vui chơi thật vui vẻ.

Đến biển Vũng Tàu mà không ăn hải sản thì uổng lắm! Bố dẫn tôi và gia đình vào một tiệm bình dân trên bãi để ăn: nghêu, tôm, mực, cua,… Ngon quá! Đã xế chiều, gia đình tôi về khách sạn để nghỉ ngơi và chuẩn bị hành lí đi về. Nhìn ra ngoài, tôi thấy một bầu trời ửng đỏ. Mẹ tôi bảo đấy là trời đang nấu cơm. Khác với buổi sáng, trời vào hoàng hôn trên biển có vài đám mây đủ màu trôi bồng bềnh. Trông chúng như những cây kẹo bông gòn màu sắc mà mẹ mua cho tôi khi tôi còn nhỏ. 

Biển chiều thì phẳng lặng, trầm tính hơn biển vào sáng. Trên bãi cũng ít người tắm vì họ cũng như chúng tôi, đều về nghỉ ngơi cả rồi… Đã đến giờ chúng tôi phải về. Trước khi lên xe, tôi nhìn biển và cảm thấy cảm thấy tiếc nuối. Tôi sẽ cố gắng học tốt để bố mẹ thưởng cho tôi những chuyến du lịch tiếp theo. Hình ảnh bãi biển Vũng Tàu đẹp như tranh và đầy sức sống này sẽ mãi mãi in sâu vào trái tim tôi như một kỉ niệm đẹp.

15 tháng 5 2018

Topic 1:

Tet is a traditional holiday of our country, Vietnam.
It often begins in late-January and ends in early-February. With the meaning of seeing the old year off and welcoming the new year, Tet becomes a special occasion of reunion for Vietnamese families. At that time, all family members try to come back to their home and get together to make such preparations for Tet as buying new clothes and cleaning their house. A branch of apricot blossoms or a Kumquat tree is indispensable decoration for every family in these days. They seem like a fresh air to the house. We display a tray full of fruits and vases of flowers on the ancestral altar.
Some typical Tet's food are sweets, coconut jam, fruit candies, melon seeds, stew pork with eggs, and especially sticky rice cake. Tet meals are usually bigger and more delicious than our daily ones.
On Tet holiday, people have many recreational activities. Young persons take part in the traditional games such as: tug of war, cooking rice, cock fighting, watching lion dance. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money to children. Woman like going to pagoda to wish good things for their family.
In my opinion, I like cozy and fresh Tet atmosphere. All family members gather and talk about resolutions for a happy new year. I can hang out with my friend and don't worry about anything.
" Tet" holiday is always in Vietnamese's heart.

In my opinions, community is the best leisure activities for teenager. First, because today's teens are not confident in communicating and living virtual with technology so they have no hobby and do not know how to play sports and they are afraid to meet someone so it can change they more confident. Second, it will make them know more knowledge and more life skills. Besides, it improves health, helps us feel comfortable and acquainted with many new people will help us always happy and not alone when sad and we can share interesting things together and make us have good friendship. Finally, this action will help the world become more and more attached and better in the future. As I have noted (in short, for these reasons) teenagers should communication with people and friends more for a good future life of yourself and of us.

I believe the best leisure activity for teenagers is any group activity. This could be playing a team sport or joining a hobby group or even volunteering. Firstly, teenagers like to feel that they belong to the group. Secondly, being part of a group helps teenagers make friends. Friendship is very important to teenagers. In addition, they will make friends with people who have the same interests as them. For these reasons, I think group activities are best for teenagers

8. Should parents decide how teenagers spend their free times?

In my opinion, parents should decide for teenagers spend their free time sensibly. It must right balance between learning and playing. First, young people can play thirty minutes in their free time after school is finished, during work breaks, teens can play sports such as basketball, football, badminton and so on. They have few friends, free time is not known, then they on facebook all day, it's a waste of time. Second, young people can read books to develop the brain and thinking ability. Third, young people can help their parents with housework in your spare time, or go charity with her parents. Fourth, parents should provide for youth participation in social activities so that they are more confident and make friends. For this reason, parents should let teens participate in activities or play in their free time and do not create pressure for teens.

Topic 2: Life in the countryside

1. Talking about what you like or dislike about the life in the countryside? Why?

Like: People can live in the fresh atmosphere in the countryside. They can go fishing in the river for food. There was so much space so we can run around the fields and shout out loud without disturbing anybody and we will feel so freedom. I like picking fruits like blackberries, apple, mango, etc, and I like do farm work like digging holes, plaiting vegetables, collecting water, swimming in the river and flying kites with new friends.

Dislike: It is inconvenient without shopping centre, supermarket and entertainment centre is miles away. There is also no running water and electricity and it doesn’t excite at all and the life there have a little boring than the city






2.What do you like about the life of nomads?

I like the ger of them, because it keep cool in summer and warm in winter, even when the temperature drops to -50C and it can be put up then taken down and transported so it convenient.

I like to go to everywhere and meet new people will make we have more skills and I like the beautiful grassland, vast pastures, rivers and mountains they go to.

The children there learn to ride a horse and they learn to be brave and it so interesting with me

3.What don’t you like about the life of nomads?

They can’t live permanently in one place and I don’t like doing too much heavy work like herding the cattle and they only have some little food, no food like noodle, hamburger, etc.

The nomads life is not as modern as the life of city, The life in the city is more interesting things.

4.Talk about changes in your neighborhood.

On summer holidays, I often go back to my hometown and I have seen many changes in this rural area over the years. The most impressive change is in education. Recently, there are more schools rebuilt nearby and they are better equipped. This summer, my hometown friends and me enjoy reading different kind of books and comic in the new library. This change make me stay here a lot more enjoy able. Means of communication is the second big change I can see in this area. In the past, the common way to contact somebody far away was to write letters by hand. Nowadays, thank to mobile phone and even social networks, the local can keep in touch more easily. However, the negative change in the environment is something I dislike, Vast paddy fields where the children used to fly kites no longer exist. Instead a new industrial zone appears. Worse, factories in the zone are polluting the river and make it too dirty for us. As I have noted, my hometown has experienced both positive and negative changes. ( My neighborhood has lot of better change in this area than the past).

5. Do you like live in the city in the country or the city? Why?

I like live in the countryside because it peaceful and the atmosphere there is not polluted as the city. I love the fresh air in here and the beautiful scenery here like the big beautiful vast, the blue sky, the rivers and trees, etc. The people here are friendly and kind, they are hard farmer and I like the persistence of them.

1.Walk or ride your bike whenever possible. One of the best things you can do to help stop pollution is to stop using your car for short trips. If the weather is nice and you don’t have too far to go, consider walking or riding your bike. You will help reduce air pollution and you will get some exercise and fresh air in the process

2.Use public transportation. Riding the bus, train, or subway is another great way to avoid using your personal vehicle and reduce carbon emissions. If you have access to good public transportation where you live, take advantage of it. Since you won’t have to worry about keeping your eyes on the road, you can take advantage of the time to read, catch up on news, or just relax.

Normally, this day will come from about the end of Jan to mid of Feb. The Lunar New Year lasts for 7-8 days of the passed year and 7 days of the new year.

According to East Asian culture and history of China, the origin of Lunar New Year from Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and change from time to time.

Topic 1 :

I would like to talk about the Lunar New Year festival, also known as the Tet holiday, which is the occasion expected the most by Vietnamese people every year. The festival usually lasts for around 3-4 days, and it takes place when a new year comes according to the lunar calendar.

– The Lunar New Year festival takes place because it is one of the most well-known traditions of Vietnam. Our people have been celebrating this occasion for thousands of years, and although there has been some recent argument about whether we should stop celebrating this festival, I do not think this activity will come to an end soon, at least not in the short term.

– There are some common things that people do during this festival. Perhaps the most important thing is that people who work and study in big cities would go back to their hometown to celebrate the new year with their families and relatives. The new year festival is one of very few occasions that families can gather together, so it is easy to understand why everyone in Vietnam expects this festival so much. Another thing that we usually do is that we give children some “lucky money” with the hope that it will bring fortune to those kids. We also have some other activities such as making “chung” cake, visiting temples and pagodas… and so on.

– The new year festival is so important to me and also to all Vietnamese citizens. The reason is because we get more days off from work and study, and therefore we have more time to spend with our families and our loved ones. It is also a great time to think about what we have done in the previous year, and to make plans for the upcoming year.
