It is said that “If someone did not remember their hometown, they could not grow up adults”. As human beings, everyone has their own hometown where they are born, and grown up; where they spend the happiest moments in their life; and where they are with people they love most. And I am also a person like that.
My hometown is TG province, but I was born and brought up in a rural area of my province. To me, it is the sweetest and coziest place in the world. The climate there is like other west provinces: the sunny period and the rainy period. And this climate is very suitable for farming, so people in my hometown live mainly with farming work. Therefore, the standard of living of people is still low, but they make a great contribution to rice supplies to our country. Besides that, the relationship of people is close; they treat one another quite well. They are always very hospitable and willing to help others. In general, my hometown doesn’t have lots of sight-seeings to enjoy, but it also has some famous historical vestiges such as Vinh Trang Pagoda or and eco-tourism is the special point in my hometown. We can visit some islands by boats along small canals, and we have chances to see the Thới Sơn fruit garden, Đồng Tâm snake farm, etc. Moreover, we can visit Cái Bè floating market, one of two famous floating markets in the southwest of Vietnam. My hometown is famous for fruits and rural dishes.
Firstly, Japan has been voted to be one of ten best wonderful places in this Fall, especially Kyoto. If I were there now, I would enjoy the cool feeling, watch the changing of the nature and visit the Kiyomizu temple. It is very easy to see red and yellow mimoji-leaves on the trees and see the colorful landscapes.
Secondly, Japan has a lot of festivals and beautiful places. Taking part in these activities and visiting famous places in Japan will give me many, many wonderful moments such as visiting Tokyo tower, shopping at Nakamise, Fuji mountain, Osaka castle.
Thirdly, I am interested in Japanese culture, culture in eating, communication, business… If I had a chance to come there and communicate with these people, I think I would study a lot, and enjoy the life with many delicious and special foods…
Traveling is the best way to study and relax myself. And Japan is the first place I want to visit. I hope I will come there in the future, maybe in my honeymoon.
Love is always a hot topic in our daily life. There is no limitation to love. It means love can happen at any time in a person’s life, and it will happens to anyone no matter he is rich or poor, young or old. When love comes, if it is true love, it will change our ways of thinking as well as our lifestyle, so we become better people day after day. There are many ways to define love. To me, love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows one day at a time.
Love is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. When we love someone, we are close enough to see the best as well as the worst in him or her. What we can do is showing him or her good points and trying to lessen the bad ones in his or her character. However, it is hard to change what belongs to a person’s characteristic, so we should never make anyone change just to suit our styles because it will make the person we love feel uncomfortable. Instead, we should try to understand him or her and accept his or her imperfection because we are all human, and no one is perfect.
Love means trust. In love, trust is the most important factor. True love cannot base on lies and doubts, or else it will become a nightmare for ourselves. If one day we find that our partner lies us, how could we feel? If it happens then it will happen again and again. Then will we trust our partner? When we have doubt about someone, we could never truly trust what he or she tells us. Somehow, our love will come to an end soon.

Topic: Why do we listen to music?
Music has been a part of people’s lives since the time civilization began. Nowadays, there are many kinds of music like jazz, pop, classic and many more. I think music is important because it helps us express our emotion, it helps us feel connected to others, and also simply because it expresses the culture and tradition of a country.
Firstly, it is an expression of emotion. When we feel sad or disappointed in life, music can help us lessen i. We also see that whenever people are happy, they often sing an effervescent song and ignore everybody around them. For example, after getting the good result of the exam, someone can sing song to express his joyfulness.
Secondly, music helps people feel connected to each other. At the outset, we can go to a concert with other people who share the same musical tastes. An example of this is when watching the singers or bands performing in the stage, we can share our emotion with the people beside you even though they are unfamiliar people. To continue, music plays an important part in an event. We can see that every event nowadays has a music program, for it helps all people feel freer and bring them closer and closer.
Finally, I myself think both traditional and international music is important in our life. In the first place, music is considered as the history and culture of the nation. For instance, country music is a kind of typical music in America. Besides, music is one of the ways to globalization because we can learn other cultures, languages and life-styles when listening to music. As a result, both traditional and international music are also important and indispensable for every country.
In short, music brings a lot to our lives in terms of emotion, connection, and culture expression. Moreover, we should always keep our traditional music. I could not imagine what will happen to the world without music.

Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
When people’s standard of living increases, they think about eating delicious food. Therefore, they usually choose food stands or restaurants to eat every day. However, in my opinion, I really like preparing and eating food at home because of some reasons as follows.
Firstly, preparing and eating food at home can help me save my money. With the same food quantity, I can spend less money buying them at the market and prepare meals at home because I do not have to charge for service fees at the restaurant. This will help me save money for other things I have to spend on my daily expenses such as clothes, or domestic furniture. In addition, I just purchase enough food for my family to avoid the excessive food like eating at restaurants.
Secondly, eating at home can make my health better. I can choose fresh food at the supermarket to prepare for my meals. Meanwhile, most of food at restaurants is usually stored in the fridge, and we do not know where they buy it exactly. Moreover, when I prepare food at home, I can limit the substance of flavor that can be bad for my health. These substances are often used too much in the restaurants, and it can cause serious diseases.
Finally, having meals at home may help keep my family tradition. It is a very important thing because it is good time for family members to gather together. They can share their views as well as their difficulties together. This will help improve their relationships. Furthermore, during meal time, parents can talk to or educate their children. If parents do not have more time to look after their children, this will be the best way for them to pay close attention to their children about children’s study or work.
In conclusion, although food prepared at home is not as delicious as food at restaurants or food stands, it brings many benefits for me. Hence, I can state that I really prefer to eat at home because it can help me to save money, to protect my health, and to improve the relationships of my family.

Topic 14:
Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.
Nowadays, with the strong development of the information technology, it is easy for students to approach available knowledge for their study on the Internet. As a result, some people suppose that university students themselves decide if they should go to classes. In my opinion, to learn academic subjects, it is very necessary for students to come to class because of the following reasons.
First of all, when attending classes, a student understands the lesson quickly and thoroughly. Beside knowledge in books, students are also given additional information and new ideas related to the lesson by their professors. This will help students understand the subjects more easily. In addition, although books have adequate information, students cannot obviously reason the lesson themselves at times. Therefore, they need to ask his instructors any of his doubts. Besides, in classes, a student can get some experiences from his teachers. This only happens while teachers are explaining the lesson.
Next, attending classes often helps a student develop his communication skills. As a student, he has many chances to participate in group discussions. It is a necessary condition for him to share his views with others, and he can also learn how to behave in a group from his classmates. Moreover, thanks to working in group at classes, a student is able to realize how important the teamwork is to finish his assignments. Hence, he can develop social skills when he works in a group.
Last, going to the class trains a student to become a responsible and disciplined person. Firstly, he has to be responsible for preparing knowledge and life experience for his future. Secondly, he usually has to go to school on time. This will help him establish a good habit, and he will become a punctual person when he enters into the working environment after graduating. Finally, with a busy study, he will not have much time to waste in coffee shops, pubs, bars, or gambling.
In conclusion, a student will be able to study himself from books if he is a real talent. However, it is really rare to have such students, so I believe that attending classes at college or university is very necessary for students to get more than just knowledge from teachers.

Topic 32: Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
In modern life, moving to different places so as to look for positive changes is not a new phenomenon. Some people are against this trend and only want to live in one place during their entire lives. In my opinion, however, I prefer moving a number of times because of some reasons as follows.
The first and most obvious reason to move from one place to another place is to see the world. It is said that the more we travel, the more knowledge we gain. Hence, moving to a new place is a good way for us to improve our mind as well as enrich our knowledge. Besides, we have more opportunities to meet a variety of people from many races, which helps us not only see different life-styles, but also learn about traditions or rituals. In addition, we are able to pass through areas of different climates to see the differences.
The second reason for moving is the opportunity to get better jobs and living conditions. Generally, in Vietnam, most big universities or factories are usually located in the big cities. Therefore, in order to get higher education or extend our courses, we have to leave our hometown and move to other cities. Moreover, we accept to live in a new region when finding it easier to obtain a suitable job in this place than in our homeland. Likewise, this change also gives us chances to get diversified entertainment which makes our lives more comfortable and exciting.
Last but not least, some people move to new places because they want to help others or contribute something to help others in the place they come. In Vietnam, some young people volunteer to work in difficult parts of the country to help poor people so as to overcome their poverty or illiteracy. Taking “going to Truong Sa island” as an typical example. In spite of a lot of difficulties and risks, these volunteers still agree to leave crowded areas to live in remote regions due to their deep patriotism. Furthermore, many people want to change waste lands into cultivated areas; or establish business to create jobs for local residents. It is not doubt that the main purpose of moving is due to the development of society.
In a nutshell, I believe that almost people want to look for something better than that they already have and I am not exception. Besides those above listed advantages, moving and living in a new place also helps to develop myself totally.

Topic 43:
Some people prefer to get up early in the morning and start the day’s work. Other prefer to get up later in the day and work until late at night. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
Nowadays, many people usually tend to work or entertain themselves late at night and get up late the next day. However, to me, I like getting up early in the morning because it helps me to have more time to do my work, enjoy the beauty of nature, and avoid heavy traffic when going to work.
Firstly, I see that getting up early is a good habit and I have more time in a day to finish my work. According to specialists, doing morning exercise is very good for our health. When I was a student, I usually got up late in the morning, which made me very tired, and I did not want to go to school any more. However, I have changed my habit, and it seems that I gain much more energy after exercising in the morning. Moreover, thanks to getting up early, I always have time for breakfast which is very useful for my health. Simultaneously, I also spend a bit free time in the morning reading some newspapers to get up-to-date information to have more ideas at work.
Another reason that I prefer getting up early is because I can enjoy the beauty of nature. In such a busy city like Ho Chi Minh City, it is very great for everyone to enjoy fresh air. The fresh air in the morning welcomes me to a new working day with much enthusiasm. Meanwhile, I usually start the new day by watching the full beauty of early blooming flowers. This habit makes me realize that my life is very lovely and meaningful because I can still enjoy what I like every day. Furthermore, every time I come back to my hometown – a harmony place, I can listen to birds singing thanks to this habit.
Last but not least, I choose to wake up early because I can avoid transportation problems that often happen in the city. A congestion of the traffic usually appears at rush hour when all people go to work or school. It also takes a lot of my time when I meet traffic jams, which make me come to work late. Therefore, going to the company soon is the good way that helps me avoid that problem. Likewise, this habit also helps me get rid of air pollutions because early in the morning, I can breathe the clean and refresh air.
In short, more time for us to do things, a sound mind in a sound body, avoiding some possible troubles on the way to work or school make getting up early the best choice to many people.

TOPIC 69: DAILY HOMEWORK IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR STUDENT?
I believe that daily homework is not necessary because students already spend almost time of the day in school, they need their time outside of school to do other things, and they need time to relax.
At the beginning, all students need to spend time with their families. They are still young so they need the guidance and support from their parent. Moreover, they need the companionship of their brothers and sisters, so that they can help together in study or in the life. In addition, many families rely on their older children to help out at home. For example, they take care of the younger children and help with the cooking and cleaning. If students have too much homework, they will not have time for help their families.
Secondly, many high school students have many other things to do. Beside the subjects they are learning, they also have to learn the other subjects. In addition, they need time to search extra information in reference books or on the Internet. To many students who have difficulties in life, they have to do part time jobs to pay for school fees. Actually they have many other things to do but do homework.
Finally, students face with too much stress in study, so they need time to relax. In life, there are many difficulties that they can’t share with their family. So, they choose to share with their friends. For many students, time with friends is very necessary. Moreover, they have many other social activities which help them develop social skills. In addition, they spend time on their interests such as watching movies, listening to music, or playing sports.
In short, homework is important for students, but other things are important, too. Some homework is good, but daily homework can take time away from a student for his family, other things, and relaxation.

TOPIC 182: IS HAVING CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PETS GOOD?
In our society, many people do not have any pets in their house because they think that there is no place for animals in their place. However, other people love pets too much. Personally, I think it is not good to have too close a relationship with a pet, or to treat it like a human being because of some reasons as follows.
Firstly, sometimes people who love their pets do not want to become involved in other activities. Because they only pay attention to taking care of their pets, they do not have time for their friends. It is proved that owning a pet is a big responsibility because it takes a lot of time such as taking the pet for regular walks to get exercise, making sure that it gets fed on time, bathing it, and playing with it. Once friends invite them to go to the party or to take a weekend trip, they are willing to refuse persistently in order to stay at home with their lovely pets. Moreover, they put their pets’ interest before their own, so attending any activities in the society is not their concern.
Secondly, loving a pet too much can interfere with good relationship with people. Thus, people can neglect their spouses and children in order spend all their time playing with pets or talking to them. As a result, they do not have enough time to share the feeling with their family. It means that the relationship between them and their relatives is looser and looser. In addition, they lose their interest in making friends and being with other people because they believe that pets are always more loyal than human beings. Besides that, some people say that it seems easier to choose pets over people. In fact, we only spend amount of money choosing and buying a pet as a good listener and a loyal friend, while finding a good friend is not easy.
Last but not least, people spend too much money on their pets. As some people love their pets and consider them as human beings, they are willing to buy special food for pets without caring about high prices. Furthermore, it is very expensive for people to pay for vaccines, or medicine if pets get sick or even surgery expenses for accidents or health problems that pets may face in their lives. Instead of buying food for pets, we can use such amount of money to supply food and medicine for poor children all around the world. I think that this action is more meaningful than that we spend too much money on daily expenses for our pets.
In short, it is never a good idea to treat pets better than human beings. However, to the single older who do not have any children, that they have a pet is necessary to help them in certain situations or to share their feeling in need. Loving pets is good, but we should not think they are more important than human beings.
