exchange the news, so they can become potential learners for my center. The second

reasons. The first reason is that I know my friend is a bookworm, so the book is suitable

25
for him. The second reason is that he can read it when he has free time. Finally, he can
share the book with his teammates.

working something. Therefore, wearing a watch is not convenient for him.

Although a diary is a good gift for him, I don’t choose it because my friend is the person
who is lazy to write what happens to him. So, I don’t think he will use the diary.

plan for him such as going straight to work, studying Master degree, and travelling.

Among the three options, going straight to work is the best choice for him because of the
following reasons. The first reason is that he has just graduated from university, so he
needs to apply what he has learned at university. The second reason is that he has to
experience the real working environment in order to train himself. Finally, working helps
him to become independent financially and more mature.

I don’t think studying Master degree is suitable. Simply because he cannot continue his
advance study without experience, finance, and support himself.

Although travelling is a good idea, I don’t choose it .Simply because, he is still young
and has a lot of time to explore the world. He can travel where he likes when he has time
and his own money later.

reasons I have mentioned.

have THREE options to choose: Brochures, Leaflets and Newspaper.
Among the three options, I think running the advertisement on newspaper is the best
choice for the following reasons.
Firstly, advertising on newspaper is always the most effective due to more readers,
especially the popular ones such as Tuoi tre, Mua ban. Secondly, I think, potential
learners who are in demand to improve their English skills or get required certificates
read more than young people. Finally, the cost to run a piece of advertisement on
newspaper is cheaper than brochures or leaflets.
I don’t think using brochure to advertise for my center is suitable. Simply because I have
to pay more for printing and hire staff to deliver. In addition, I cannot reach potential
learners because of massive delivery on the street.
Although using leaflet is a good idea, I don’t choose it because it is not suitable. One
more thing, I have to pay for staff to deliver it everywhere, usually on the street, which
contributes to littering in public.

for the reasons I have mentioned.

best choice for the following reasons. Firstly, most of journals in my university are
written by well- qualified and experienced professors. Secondly, these journals were
verified and approved by the scientific community. Therefore, the data is accurate and

27
reliable. Finally, journals are available in university library so it is convenient for me
whenever I need to access.
I don’t think searching information on free online books is a good idea. Although on –
line books are free of charge and easily accessible, the information is not reliable and not
verified. If I used this source, I would spend more time comparing and doubling check.
Although searching information in journals of my major with payment is a good idea, I
don’t choose it because the payment for these journals is out of my budget.
To sum up, if I were in the case, I would choose to use journals in my university for the
reasons I have mentioned.

of these materials are written in Vietnamese, so it might difficult for him to understand.

don’t want my parents worry about it.

cottage.

following reasons.

30
The first reason is that staying at a seaside resort is very convenient. For example, my
family can go swimming at any time. The second reason is that I can look at the beauty of
the nature. For instance, I can look at the sunrise in early morning or sunset in the
afternoon. Finally, staying at the seaside resort is very comfortable. To illustrate, I can
order the room service at any time and enjoy good hotel facilities like spa, massage.
I don’t think that staying at the lakeside hotel is suitable because I don’t like quiet
atmosphere. I like something exciting and noisy.
Although staying in the country cottage is a good idea, I don’t choose it because there are
not enough interesting activities I can do during the holidays.

physical teacher. Secondly, there are many different kinds of equipment like tread mills,
stationary bikes, rowing machines which can help me to burn out extra fat. Finally, I feel
motivated when I meet people who have good shapes.

is an ideal present for her. Secondly, I know she is a member of a book club; therefore,
she can share the book with others in the club when she finishes it.

Trung Nguyen Coffee. Second, I think this is a good chance to publicize Vietnamese
products to foreigners. Finally, it is convenient for me to carry some boxes of coffee.
I think giving them some conical hats is a good idea. However, these hats are bulky to
bring along and occupy too much space, so I wouldn’t choose it.

techniques to speak in public. Secondly, I think this course helps me to build confidence
to express my ideas through using appropriate language and communicate more
effectively. Finally, public speaking is a vital skill for anyone to work in professional and
multi- culture environment. It is useful for my future job because it relates to negotiate
and exchange information.

am thinking about a nice place to introduce such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Temple of
Literature and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.

34

built over 1000 years ago. It is the historical site including a pond, gardens, a temple and
many honoured stones with the name of famous scholars, who took the first places in
national competitions. Secondly, it is symbolized for Vietnamese cultural landmark.
Finally, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ha Noi.

about it.

Although Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is a historical site where the late president was

sighted.

reasons. The first reason is that when we go picnic, we will know one new place. For
example, we can have a picnic to Cuc phuong forest, a National park located in Dong Nai
province.

47
 The second reason is that when we go to a picnic, we can get close to nature and
breathe the fresh air. Finally, we have more time to talk to, play outdoor activities and
hold a barbecue, which is really wonderful.
I don’t think that a party at karaoke bar is suitable because it is very noisy and
stuffy. Although a Miss contest is a good idea, I don’t choose it. Simply because female
friends have to prepare costumes and makeup, which is time –consuming. Also, some
female friends will feel inferior if they are not beautiful enough.
