-Do you work or are you a student?
Well, as you can probably guess, I am a student and I am studying in Banking Academy. You might not know this but Banking Academy is a famous university in Vietnam. It is very modern, so I suppose I would have to say It has excellent education quality.
-How much free time do you generally get?
Well, to be honest, I do not have much free time, recently. This is due to the fact that I have a difficult examination and it starts on next Monday. So you know, I have to learn nearly all day. Perhaps, when my semester finishes, I will have much spare time for outdoor activities.
-Do you prefer going out or staying in when you have spare time?
Of course I think I would have to say that I like going out. This could be because outdoor activities are so relaxing. Sometimes, I carry my books to read on the grass in front of my house.
-Do you think it is possible to enjoy yourself without spending money?
Yes, I do. Well in actual fact, if I think it, I guess that in many ways it’s fairly possible, especially when you are a student or an unemployed, you don’t have much money. In spite of poverty, you totally enjoy yourself, such as reading books freely in the library, play badminton with your friends and walking in the sunshine, etc…
-Are there lots of different things to do where you live?
Actually, I suppose that there’re so many different things to do in my hometown. Maybe you don’t know this, but my hometown is the most dynamic city in Vietnam. In here, you can consume tra***ional foods. Moreover, you can visit famous beautiful sight and attend outdoor activities.

Bài lớp E45 ngày 23.05.11:
The 21st century has begun. What changes do you think this new century will bring? Use examples and details in your answer.

Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes from the time when he depicted a herd of mammoths on the walls of his **** to these days when he can create beautiful pictures and even make coffee by use of computer technologies without leaving his favorite chair. The 20th century made huge steps in developing computer technologies and reached many goals that made our life much easier. What should we expect in the 21st century?

First of all, I think that the pace of our life will speed up: we will move faster from one place to another, from one continent to another using high speed jet airplanes. Second of all, I believe that we will be able to do many things that take much time now without leaving our house. Computers will be everywhere including out clothes. Many people will have chips and mini computers inserted in their heads to hold huge amount of information and have a quick access to it.

But what will be the most amazing thing in the 21st century is the flights to the outer space and Mars that will be available to all people. Scientists say that Mars has many things similar to the Earth's. Moreover, they say that with the help of modern technology people can artificially create con***ions that will allow people to live there on the constant basis.

*****m up, I am sure that many amazing changes will be brought by the 21st century. Furthermore, I think that with the help of the contemporary technologies people can do many things that were even difficult to imagine a century ago. So, nowadays it is rather difficult and even impossible to imagine all changes that will happen in the next decades.

MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT TEACHERS SHOULD TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO JUDGE RIGHT AND WRONG AND HOW TO BEHAVE WELL. SOME FEEL THAT PEOPLE SHOULD JUST TEACH STUDENTS ACADEMIC SUBJECTS. DISCUSS.

There is no doubt that helping students find a job is one of the primary functions of university education, but universities do exist for other purposes such as improving students’ analytical skills and raising students’ moral standards.

A university education can be seen as a process of improving students’ analytical thinking. The variety of courses offered at university inspires students in various ways, therefore improving their analytical ability. For example, science courses such as maths and biology help students develop a rational way of thinking whereas arts courses such as literature wave let students ponder over issues from a logical, multi – dimensional perspective; and courses in social sciences force students to recognize the ideas that have been tra***ionally assumed to be acceptable and unproblematic. With the development of these types of analytical thinking, graduates can face future challenges with more confidence and enthusiasm.

Also, university education is expected to improve students’ moral standards. This is rooted in universities’ belief that students’ awareness of responsibility towards their community and their country is of high importance. In this society and civilization, students are encouraged actively participate in improving the local community. A university that provides care and facilities for physically disadvantaged students may inspire the graduates to better handle situations in the future where they may have to interact with the disabled community. A successful university education is supposed to produce morally sound graduates, therefore increasing their employability.

In conclusion, university education not only helps students locate a decent job but will also develop other qualities such as enhancing their analytical skills and cultivating their hunger and spirit for life.


Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples *****pport your answer.

I think that everyone can divide all advertising products and services into useless ones and useful ones. It is like looking through an information desk when you pay attention to those messages that interest you. Take me for example.

I do not like jewelry. It does not mean I do not have it at all, I have a couple of inexpensive rings as gifts from my parents. I just think, people pay too much attention to this stuff. I believe it is the result of mass advertising. Every day when I am watching TV, listening to the radio or reading the paper I notice many ads about getting an expensive ring, chain, necklace or ear-rings. From my point of view these kinds of advertising contaminate people's minds. In this case you are encouraged to buy things you do not really need. They make you believe you need such products in order *****cceed or be happy.

From the other side, I think that advertisements of the new detergents with up-to-date formulas to help you maintain your cloth in perfect con***ions, the new cars with some extra futures that make your traveling more comfortable and sports goods that make your life healthier may help you to improve your life.

Recently my husband and I saw an ad on the Internet about a very interesting and inexpensive vocation to Japan for a week. Is not it awesome? We like traveling. So now we are planning to find out more about it and, may be, make reservations. I belief that without advertisements we would be unaware about plenty of oppotunities that may make your life happier, easier and less stressful.

My point is that every person has his own scale of values. So if he is vegetarian he will consider an ad about meat products useless for him.



Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising can tell you a lot about a country. Use specific reasons and examples *****pport your answer.

Every country has its own culture and tra***ions. There is no doubt that an advertising campaign conducted in Russia will not have the same affect here in the United States. Let us take for example advertisement of food and restaurants.

A huge amount of fast food stands suggest their services for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper here in Houston. The competition is very strong. Every week you get in your mail-box an envelope with different types of discounts in exchange for visiting them or ordering pizza. Watching TV you are also from time to time invited to visit a restaurant in order to taste some delicious food. It is not because it is easy to make money cooking but because the demand for such service is high. First of all, people like to go out sometimes to have dinner with friends. Second of all, it is often impossible to drive home for lunch. It can be time consuming.

As for Russia, it is a great tra***ion to have dinner at home with the family and go to the restaurant for big holidays. Ad***ionally fast food is not popular in Russia. So you will see advertisements of yogurts, coffee, dairy products and juice instead of restaurants and fast food stands.

In conclusion I would like to add that in order *****cceed in advertising campaign especially on the international market company must know tra***ions, language and history of the country.



A gift (such as a camera, a soccer ball, or an animal) can contribute to a child’s development. What gift would you give to help a child develop? Why? Use reasons and specific examples *****pport your choice.

People learn and develop throughout their entire lives. I think that in our modern world it is very essential to be familiar with computer technology. So, if I had a chance to give a child a gift it would be a computer. I think that computers play an essential role in our lives and they bring many benefits to our society. Moreover, children can learn by use of computers. In the following paragraphs I will give my reasons *****pport my answer.

First of all, by use of computers children can play many games, which help to improve children's ability to think logically, think about their next step, etc. Moreover, playing games develop many important qualities such as attention, patience, persistent, etc. Second of all, computers help children to learn more about anything by use of Internet. They can find new friends even from another country. Children will improve their communication skills, gain more knowledge and experience. Also, children have a great opportunity to learn more about other countries, their history, tra***ions and customs. Finally, computer skills can help a child to find his or her first job. A child can find an ad in the Internet about a job offer or he or she can make a resume and place it in the Internet. Personally, I think it is a great experience and big step forward towards a future career.

In ad***ion to those practical benefits, computer technology helps children to do their homework faster. They can type their data into the computer, easily check the grammar, correct mistakes and then print it out. Moreover, there are plenty different kinds of educational programs that can help children learn how to read, write, draw and even how to behave and speak a foreign language.

*****m up, I believe that children should learn how to use computer because this knowledge will help them in the future to be more self-confident and enterprising. Furthermore, computers can greatly improve and simplify their lives if children know how to use them.

chào chị. Em biết nhiều chỗ giá tiền học còn cao hơn. Nhưng nhiều chỗ giá cao nhưng số học sinh ít. Nên em mới thắc mắc. Em muốn hỏi có được học thử vài buổi không? Vì nhỡ học mà thấy không hợp thì biết làm thế nào?

Chị ui chưa cập nhật tình hình học của lớp E50 lên đây ạ? Hôm qua em nghỉ nên giờ đang loay hoay không biết học đến đâu rùi đây. Chị cập nhật lên giúp em phát nhá. Thanks chị iu quí.

Ở chỗ chị ko học thử em ạ, thứ nhất là vì: lượng hs cũng nhiều và đa số mọi người toàn là do người quen/ bạn bè/ thầy cô giáo khác giới thiệu đến học nên độ tin tưởng là đã có sẵn rùi, nên nếu em ở địa vị là chị thì tất nhiên em sẽ muốn nhận số người đăng kí luôn và học ngay và ko cần thử [] mặt khác, nếu thỉnh thoảng lớp lại có hs học thử thì mình sẽ bị phân tán tập trung tư tưởng dạy lớp do sẽ bị chi phối ý nghĩ là ko biết hs đó có theo được ko... quan trọng nhất là 1 lớp học sẽ ko có tổ chức ổn định khi buổi học có người học thử, rồi có người theo, người ko theo, sĩ số lớp biến động ...
Em nên tìm hiểu kĩ trước khi quyết định tham gia vậy [r2)] (còn về chương trình học và mức độ đầu vào yêu cầu với học viên thì mình có nói rõ rùi)

Hum qua lớp học từ Unit 13 đến 16 rùi mẹ cháu ạ, mai mình gửi video qua email cho cả lớp nhé [r2)]

Let’s talk about what you do
Well you know the first thing I should mention is that I’ve finished my studies in economy and I will continue that in US one day. So I have to learn English to prepare to apply in a scholarship. As well as that, I could say that I’m working for a culture and arts center as a part-time marketer. Actually, I’m responsible to recruit sellers, to e*** marketing documents, to present services to potential clients…
Let’s talk about free time
Alright, I suppose I should begin by hightlingting the fact that I have much free time but it’s occupied by many hobbies. Each day, I have to work 4 hours, 2 hours to do house works, 1 hour to study English. In ad***ion to what I’ve just said, I can add that I spend the rest of the day to study Chinese horoscope, to practice vocal music etc.
Right OK, It’s possible to enjoy myself without spending much of money in staying at home. I suppose I should say that we can download many videos and clips, etc… in the internet for free except the internet and electricity fee. Well I use to download the tutorials of what I’m interested in such as: massaging, making up, dancing, and studying… In ad***ion, I have to going out to learn. For example, I must go out the Wednesday and Friday noon to dance, the Thursday to sing and maybe I’ll apply to a class of choreographer in the Vietnam Dancing College if I can arrange my spare time.
Something else that I need to comment on this is that there are lots of things to do in my hometown. The point I’d like to begin is that Hanoi has many entertainment locations such as bars, karaoke centers… This city is the cultural center of the country, and then we have too many choices to do such as calitography, photography… or simply ballade throughout ancient little streets. I guess I could also remark on the fact that Hanoi is the largest city of Vietnam after the combine with Hanoi and Hatay province. That’s why it posses lots of ancient or natural monuments of 2 regions and then we can’t explore this city less than 2 weeks if we are tourisms.
