In Ha Noi, from 7 in the morning until well into the night, thousands upon thousands of people hurry around on mopeds with no real consideration to the rules of the road. Every maneouver is undertaken with a blast of a horn, with the assumption that everyone within hearing will know exactly what that means, and move out of the way accordingly.

Describe a game or sport you enjoy playing.

What kind of game or sport it is
Who you play it with
Where you play it
And explain why you enjoy playing it.
Almost everybody has some favorite game. Mine is football. I don’t play it but sometimes I watch matches on TV with my family. Football is a game played on a rectangular field (hundred twenty yards long and fifty-three yards wide) by two different teams, each with eleven members, with an inflated cowhide ball in an oval like shape. The purpose of the offensive side is score as many times as possible while the defense tries to stop that. To score, the offense must run the ball down the field to the opposing team's end zone or by kicking it through the goal post. Since football is considered a full-contact sport, many injuries can occur by "blocking, body checking, and grabbing." In this way, it is considered to be somewhat like rugby. Even with the roughness, it is considered the most popular sport, attracting millions of participants.

PART 1
The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/ her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.
EXAMPLE
YOUR FRIENDS
· Do you prefer to have one particular friend or a group of friends? Why?
I like to have a group of friends who have interests in common.
· What do you like doing most with your friends?
At weekends, I usually go shopping with my friends to buy clothes, or just chat together.
· Do you think it’s important to keep in contact with friends you knew as a child? Why/ Why not?
Yes, sure. As we live far away from each other and time goes by, if you don’t want to drift apart from your buddies, you have to frequently write letters, chat or telephone each other. Sometimes, if possible, meet your friend.
· What makes a friend into a good friend?
Being a good friend is not just about having a good time with others, it's also about how willing you are to put your friends first or point out when they're doing something you don't agree with.
PART 2
You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes.
You have one minute to think about what you’re going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
Describe an important choice you had to make in your life.
You should say:
When you had to make this choice
What you had to choose between
Whether you made a good choice
And explain how you felt when you were making this choice.
Choosing a profession is a problem which worries most school – leavers. A suitable profession will bring us happiness and prosperity. An unsuitable one may be the cause of disappointment and misery in our lives.
When choosing a profession for our future, we should consider the income of our family, our desire for the profession and our ability to do it. I found it hard to follow my study at an oversea university because at that time, I was not able to pay my school fees and other expenses for the 4 years of schooling before I could earn money myself. That was the reason I decided to study Bachelor in Viet Nam.
On the other hand, my father wanted me to become an investigator as he used to be. However, I thought that when a person does not like the job she is doing, she will give up sooner or later; and she cannot perform something successfully if she has no skill in doing it.
Therefore, when choosing my profession, I was very careful in my decision, because my future largely depends on my choice. I now think it’s a wise choice.
