Giới thiệu phần thi nói

Here you are.
1. Could you tell me your identification card/student card please?
My full name is Nguyen Van A. People often call me A.
2. Could you tell me your full name please?
It’s N-G-U-Y-E-N.
3. How do you spell your first/ last name?
I was born on September 5th 2000.
4. When’s your birthday?
Like most Vietnamese name, my name also has a meaning. ‘Thuy’ means ‘water’ in Vietnamese. Unlike most Vietnamese names, my name doesn’t have a meaning. I was named after a famous singer.
5. Does your name have any special meaning?
In my opinion, some people want to change their names because they are not satisfied with theirs (không hải hòng với tên của họ). Or they want to make good impression on employers (tạo ấn tượng với nhà tuyển dụng) when they apply for a job. One more reason is that they love their idol so much that they want to change their name after their idols (đổi tên theo tên thần tượng). For example, ….
6. Why do many people change their names?
Of course, my name is really important to me because it will be with me all life long (gắn bó với tôi suốt đời). Moreover, with a nice name, I might make better impression. (có thể tạo ấn tượng tốt).

Test 1 - Introduction

I’m from Hải Dương Province. It’s about 80 km from Ha Noi. You know, my hometown is really famous for green bean cake and a special type of lychee.
1. Where do you come from?
Now I’m living and working in Ha Noi, the capital of Vietnam. Hanoi is both traditional and modern. It is famous for many places of interest such as Ha Noi old Quarter (phố cổ), French Quarter (phố Pháp), Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake (Hồ Tây).
2. Where do you live?
Certainly. You know, my hometown is Hai Duong. It is located about 80km from Hanoi. My hometown is well known for green bean cake and Thanh Ha lychee. My parents still live there. They live in a small village surrounded by the rice paddy field. People in my hometown are very friendly and hospitable. Now I live and work in Hanoi so I often come back there at the weekend about once a month to visit my parents and enjoy the fresh air.
3. Can you tell me something about your home town?
There are many places of interest in my hometown, for example, Con Son mountain and Kiep Bac Temple. It is located in Chi Linh district, Hai Duong. When I was a student, I used to go there with my classmates. Con Son – Kiep Bac complex is in the top 23 national historic heritages of Vietnam. These places remind us of the victory of Tran Dynasty against Mongolian conquerors in the 13th century and the two national heroes of Vietnam – Tran Hung Dao and Nguyen Trai.
4. Can you tell me some famous landscape or scenic spots in your hometown?

Test 2 - Hometown or birthplace

In my free time, I like watching movies and going out with my family and friends
1. What do you usually do in your spare time?
I don’t like to live by myself because I feel lonely and especially I’m afraid of being ill while there’s no one around me; so I prefer staying with my family and share with them everything in life.
2. Do you prefer to stay alone or with your friends?
I am rather busy during the week. I work from eight to five on weekdays so in the evening, I often cook dinner, stay at home and chat with my family members about what they have done during the day. I also teach my children to do their homework. At weekends, however, when I have free time, I often go out with friends or visit my relatives. Sometimes, my husband and I take our children to the cinema, the park or the zoo.
3. What do you usually do on weekends and weekdays?
When I am out, I often eat out with my family or go for a drink with friends. Sometimes, my family go to the park, go shopping and so on.

We often go to a café and chat about work, life, family and so on. Sometimes, we visit each other’s home and several families enjoy meals together.

Yes, I do. I like traveling to beautiful places in Vietnam and meeting new people. Now I’m saving some money and I hope I can afford a trip to Thailand or Singapore next year.
1. Do you like travelling?
I prefer traveling with my friends. Because it is more fun to go with friends and we can try new food and meet new people together.
2. Do you like travelling alone or with your friends?
Yes, I have. I’ve been to several destinations in Vietnam such as Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Sapa. Of these places, I like Ha Long Bay the most because the scenery is breathtaking. Moreover, there are many activities for me to take part in such as going on a cruise on the Bay, visit caves and going to the beach. One more thing that I like about Halong is the fresh and delicious seafood.
3. Have you travelled to other places? Where are they?
It depends. If I go on a business trip, I will see what should do first on my working schedule. On holiday, on the other hand, I often look for places of interest to visit and special food in the area to try.

Test 4. Traveling

There are many advantages of traveling. First, travelling broaden your mind (mở mang đầu óc của bạn).

At the same time, you can visit many beautiful places and take part in interesting activities. Moreover, travelling helps you relax and it’s a great time for you to be with your friends or family.
5. What are the benefits of traveling?
I think nowadays more and more people like traveling because it has many benefits. For example, it’s a great chance for our family or friends to have fun together, discover new places, try new food, and meet new people. One important reason is that transportation has become much more convenient to travel.
6. Why do so many people like traveling nowadays?
I have many friends but only some of them are close because I think we should have only several close friends to spend time and share everything with.
1. Do you have many friends? Are they casual acquaintance or close friends?
I prefer to stay with my friends because then I have more freedom. I can do whatever I like. Moreover, staying with my friends helps me to learn better as we can share learning materials and discuss difficult questions. Finally, sometimes, it is easier to share with friends than with family.
2. Do you prefer to stay with your family or with your friends?
I prefer to have just one or two close friends because if I have many close friends, I wouldn’t have enough time to spend with them all. Having one or two close friends, I can easily share with them my secrets and happiness. Besides, we can get together and have interesting conversations more often.
3. Do you prefer one or two close friends or many friends?
Most of my friends are about my same age because we meet at school or university. I’ve got several friends who are older or younger than me as we met at work.

I like pop music the best because I like soft and beautiful melody. It really helps me to relieve stress (giảm căng thẳng)
3. What kind of music do you best?

Test 6. Music

In my opinion, one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Ha Noi. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines of buses and cars moving slowing on the street during the rush hours. There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. Third, many people including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy intersections.
1. Can you say something about the transportation in your hometown?
In Vietnam, motorbikes are the most popular means of transportation (phương tiện giao thông phổ biến). People can see motorbikes everywhere in Vietnam because it does not cost so much to buy one.
2. What is the common means of transport in your country?
Traffic jamsarethe among the biggest problems in Hanoi where I live now. Every day people get stuck in the traffic congestion. There are several reasons for that (kể các lý do trên)
3. Do traffic jams often occur in your hometown or in the city where you live?
In my opinion, effective measures must be taken to solve the problem before things get worse. On the one hand, the government should invest more money in the building of new roads and repairing and maintenance of old ones, particularly those in busy areas of the cities. The number of private cars in urban areas should be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time, it is essential that stricter traffic rules and regulations be issued to strengthen traffic control.
4. How to solve the problem?

Test 7. Transportation

Yes, they probably do. Some people are really careful about what they wear because they want to be seen as stylish. Other people wear clothes that show wealth or status (sự giàu có hay đẳng cấp), such as clothes by famous designers (quần áo bởi các nhà thiết kế nổi tiếng).

Test 13. School - Study

I didn’t have as much homework as students do nowadays because at that time we went to school in the morning only and had the whole afternoon and evening free to do homework. I didn’t go to any extra classes but did exercises in the textbooks. I normally spend about an hour or two finishing all homework a day.
5. How much homework did you have?
No, I didn’t. Luckily, when I was I school, I didn’t have to wear a uniform. I hate wearing the same clothes every day. They are made for every student so they do not fit everyone. Yes. I did.

Test 14. Restaurant

We don’t go to restaurant very often as we cook at home. Therefore, we often eat out just about once or twice a month at the weekend when all the family members are free or we get together with friends.

6. Who do you respect the most in your family?

I love everyone in my family but I get on very well with my mother. I often share with her everything or when I have trouble, I often ask her for advice. We understand each other very well.
9. Who do you get on well in your family?
Yes, I do. My husband and I sometimes have an argument about what TV program to watch. I like watching films while he prefers to watch sports programs. Now and then, we argue about how to teach our children. He often says I am spoiling my children (làm hư hỏng con cái). My husband, on the other hand (ngược lại), is very strict to them (nghiêm khắc với chúng).
10. Do your ever argue with someone in your family? What do you argue about?
No, I wouldn’t, it’s too hot for me to live in such places. I can’t stand the heat and it’s difficult to make a living (kiếm sống) I think.

I like hot weather better because in the summer I can go swimming and I often have very long holiday so that I can go to the beach with my family.

5. Do you think weather affects the way people feel?

Nowadays learning on the internet has become increasingly popular because of its great benefits, especially to students.
In the first place, online learning is very convenient. You know, students can learn whenever and

access to a rich source of information on almost any subject.
Secondly, it is very affordable to study online. Well, students can do research using online resources at
very low cost or even at no charge. Many websites provides free access to an abundant source of
information while others offer online courses at a very low cost which might be just a part of traditional
course.
Moreover, because students can study at their own place, they can save time and money to travel to
traditional classes.
Last but not least, online courses are more interesting thanks to the application of technology. It is true
