Describe your shopping habit.
You should say:
- What type of things you like shopping for;
- How often you do the shopping;
- And explain whether that habit is good or bad.
I rarely go shopping; the items I usually buy are clothes. I only purchase clothes on big
holidays like Christmas, Lunar New Year, birthdays, etc., to change up my fashion.
Besides clothes, I sometimes buy some snacks, but really, I seldom go shopping. I think
this habit is quite good for me because shopping less means I don't need to spend much
money, allowing me to save for more important things. Moreover, now I can shop online
through apps, which saves a lot of time and effort in traveling and having orders
delivered to my home. Overall, I'm quite lazy when it comes to shopping

Describe your favorite brand name

My favorite brand is Apple, which was founded in 1976. Apple offers a range of high-
tech products such as iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches. I like Apple not
only for the quality of its products but also for their beautiful design, innovative features,
and the seamless ecosystem between devices. The focus on user experience and data
security makes Apple an indispensable brand in my daily life. Each new product brings
excitement and anticipation, and I always trust in the value that Apple provides. That’s
why Apple is my favorite brand

Talk about things you used to do when you were ten.
You should say:
- What the things were;
- Which one was your favorite;
- How it has changed.
When I was ten years old, I used to like and try many things such as swimming, singing,
listening to music, playing basketball, and more. Especially, I liked swimming the most.
That summer, I often went with my father to the pool to practice swimming. My father
was a very nice swimmer, he taught me how to swim, control my body in the water
environment. In my opinion, swimming is very good for health. It helped me grow a lot,
my health improved. Not only that, swimming also helps reduce stress from studying.
Now, I am a university student, I feel very pressured from studying and part-time work,
so I do not have free time to continue my hobby. I will try to arrange my work to
continue my swimming hobby next summer.

Talk about changes in shopping trends in Vietnam
You should say:
- How and what people used to buy when they go shopping;
- What the changes in shopping trends are;
- What you think about changes.
In the past, Vietnamese people typically shopped at traditional stores, food markets, and
general stores. They bought necessary products for daily life such as food, clothing, and
household items. However, in recent years, shopping trends have changed a lot. Instead
of going to traditional markets, shoppers can now purchase items through apps, and
delivery services will bring the orders right to their homes, saving a considerable amount
of time and effort. Especially in the summer, online shopping services grow even
stronger. No one likes to go to the market in this hot weather. I see both positives and
negatives in this change. The positive aspect is that you can shop without spending time
to choose directly. However, there are also many negatives such as buying fake goods,
losing items, losing money, and many orders taking a long time to be delivered. In
general, any change needs to be controlled by law to avoid social disorder.

Describe an accident you saw.
You should say:
- where and when the accident was
- how it occurred
- and how you felt about it.
It was a sad story. Over a year ago, during the holiday of April 30th to May 1st,
while I was on my way back to Vĩnh Phúc with my friend, I turned onto a road that
was so congested that it took me a very long time to be able to move forward.
Near the end of that stretch, my friend said to me, ‘There was an accident here, I
saw someone had died.’ It was a horrific accident, a container truck had crashed
into a motorcycle. When I got back to my friend’s house, he called me and told
me, ‘It was a classmate from our 12th grade.’ I was extremely shocked and
mourned for that friend. After that incident, I completely changed my bad habits
in traffic to ensure safety for myself and everyone around

Talk about a news in a newspaper that you have recently read
You should say:
- Where and when you read it
- What it was about
- And what you found interesting about it
I no longer read newspapers. The last time I read a newspaper was about 6 years
ago at my home. It was my father’s newspaper, which talked about the football
matches in the 2018 World Cup. What I remember most is that the newspaper
discussed the final match of that season. The two teams competing in the final
were France and Croatia, with the victory going to the French team. France
overwhelmingly defeated the other team with a score of 4:2. Thanks to that
newspaper, football has now become one of my hobbies, one of the sports that I
love.

Describe a crime story you heard
You should say:
- where and when it happened
- what it was about;
- and how you thought about it.
The crime story I want to tell you is extremely scary. I knew this story through
clips on YouTube. It's a story about a girl who was murdered in a horrific way. The
victim is a female friend, about 17 years old, named HYN. She was assassinated
by her boyfriend, whose name was Khanh. According to the police investigation,
due to a conflict between two people, Khanh killed his girlfriend, divided it into
many parts, put it in a foam box and hid it on the bank of the Red River. After
that, he fled to Thai Binh. This story is extremely scary with Khanh's actions. I feel
extremely sorry for the girl's fate and hope the law punishes Khanh appropriately

Talk about your future goal.
You should say:
- what it is;
- how you plan to achieve it;
- why it is feasible.
My future goal is to become a photo and video editor. I am quite creative and adaptable, so becoming
an editor seems very fitting for me. Currently, I am taking a course in photo and video editing and
practicing on my own pictures. After completing this course, I plan to work part-time, which will allow
me to review my knowledge and earn some extra money. Later on, I can do this job as a side gig, serving
my personal passion and also making some money from it. I find that photo and video editing can be
quite helpful in our lives, like editing images and videos for posting on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
However, it is a challenging job that requires meticulousness, diligence, and a good sense of aesthetics.
Overall, I will strive to master photo and video editing skills because it is my personal hobby.

- What stunt(s) he/she is famous for
- Whether you would like to meet him/her
Now I'll tell you about my favorite magician. He is Zach King. He is a famous
american magician, owning a YouTube channel with over 10 million subscribers.
His videos make viewers think it's a magic show, but in reality, it's due to his top-
notch editing skills. He has many famous magic videos like taking objects from TV
screens, newspapers, magazines,... or changing the color of objects and many
other special performances. Follow me, he is very skilled at performing magic
tricks in his YouTube videos, so I hope to meet him to see his real magic tricks
and ask for his autograph. I really like his style and demeanor.
