Hi all !
Yesterday was so boring. I think, some old members ( 2 beautiful girls, 1 handsome man) were absent and there were too many new members who were not enough closed with others. So, I hope it will be better next time.
The topic for speaking on Friday.
Speaking Module Part 1
Free time

õ? Some question about your backgroud, yourself...
õ? What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
õ? How much time do you have each week for doing these things?
õ? Why do you like doing these activities?
õ? How did you start doing this activity at first?
õ? Is there some other hobby or sport you would like to try? Why?
õ? How has the way people spend their free time changed over the years?
Speaking Module Part 2
Family
Take one minute to prepare a talk on the following subject. Take notes if you like and remember to include reasons and examples. You should then speak for between two and three minutes. ( recommend at least 2.5 --> 3 minutes).
Describe the person in your family who you most admire.
You should say:
what their relationship is to you
what they have done in their life
what they do now
and explain why you admire them so much.
Speaking Module Part 3
- What is the generation''s gap in modern life? How do you think about it?
- Do you like living with your parents after marriage? Why or Why not? What are the advantages and disadvantages of living without your parents?
- How do you think about the big family in our country? ( I mean the family with grandparents, parents, children...in the same house.)
Some comments:
1. I offer the topic for speaking like above ( similar to the real test). Allmost topic are everyday topic.
2. In part 1, you should to learn by heart all questions. It is the best way to learn How you make simple questions.
3. In part 2, you have to make a presentation in 2 -> 3 minites. This is the most important skill. You must be similar to it.
4. In part 3, you usually have some expanded questions which make you brainstorm to outline the ideas as many as you can. It is very useful for Writing Task 2.
5. We are going to practice in subgroup ( 4 persons / 1 subgrooup) in part 1, part 2. In part 3, we have a free talk show like a English club. ( big group - all people study together)
Ok. Let ''s drink
P/s: (To Van) remember that you have to prepare for reading and listenning modules. OK? Remember the key.
@ new members: all of you are warmly wellcomed.

Well. I love this kind of topic "Generation gap or Living with parents after marriage". I think Mr Mapgis is under circumstance, hehe . Current problems of what almost guys have to face with. There''re a lot of things we can share and argue each other. I think so!

Yeap.The today''s topic is so colorful
Here is the link for today''s Test:

Have nice Weekend

Oh! I thought "Fuzzy" was the name of Ms Phuong. Well, it turned out that was Mr Van.
I''ve been waiting for the topic for tomorrow. Where''s Ms Phuong? It''s her turn to prepare Speaking Skill. I''m curious a bit what it is? ''cause i''m fond of the topic which is related to our life or our knowledges such as: "Generation gap" of Mr Ha''s . There were a lot of things to discuss, hehe, The youth were always more radical than The older.

Hi all !
now, there are 13 members in our group. Should we fix the number of member for effective studying? I ''ve asked Ms Trang, Ms Thu, Ms Phuong and they agreed with me. But, I still want to get all opinion before making any decisions. Plz, tell us about your opinion ( all of you). ok?
Ms Phuong ''s preparing for the next time in Listening and Reading. I hope Mr Trang prepares for speaking. OK? Ms Trang?
See you!
@ everybody: Would you like to have a offline meeting? Plz, discuss it.

13 is not a lucky number,hixBut I think it''s enough for a group like ours and fixing the quantity is necessary .And we first need to say sorry to someone who wants to join this group.
Lẩu and Karaoke are good for the offlines
P/S:Why Miss Phuong hasn''t posted the topic yet?

Oh my God, I dislike "Lau". Well, is there other choice? But I love Karaoke or Dancing?

Hi all,
I''m rather confused to hear that I''m going to prepare 4 the speaking topic tomorrow bcoz I''m afraid I''ll be late (tomorrow afternoon is my close friend''s engagement --> I should help her ). But I''m going to post the topic here and print it for all of u . OK?
As most of us agreed, we will fix the number of members (13), no more will be registered. We have to say sorry 4 others who want to join our group. Hope that all of u will find a suitable group by urself.
