Firstly, wearing uniforms encourages students to be proud of being students of their school because they are wearing the uniforms with labels bearing their school’s name Secondly, wearing uniforms helps students feel equal in many ways, whether they are rich or poor Finally, wearing uniforms is practical we don’t have to think of what to wear every day Therefore, Students in secondary schools should wear uniform 7.Casual clothes( unit 2) I think it’s necessary for secondary students to wear casual clothes when they are at school because of the following reasons Firstly, wearing casual clothes make students feel comfortable It’s easy for them to travel Secondly, wearing casual clothes gives students freedom of choice about size, colors and fashion Nextly, wearing casual clothes makes students feel self-confident when they are in their favorite clothes and makes school more colorful and lively Therefore, Students in secondary schools should wear casual clothes 8.Your favorite clothes As you know everyone has their own favorite clothes For me, I like wearing jeans and T shirt best because of the following reasons Firstly, when I wear jeans and T shirt I feel comfortable I can travel easily I feel more confident when I talk to everyone Secondly, wearing jeans and T shirt is very convenient I don’t have to spend time ironing clothes everyday Secondly, jeans and T shirt are always fashionable clothes Wearing them makes us look younger, healthier and more beautiful On the other hand, nowadays there are a lot of shops selling fashionable jeans and T shirt everywhere It’s easy for us to buy jeans and T shirt at a low price In conclusion, I like wearing jeans and T shirt very much In the future if I have more money, I will buy more jeans and T shirt to wear 7.What is your favorite subject? At school I have studied many subjects but I like studying English best because of the following reasons Firstly, English is one of my compulsory subjects If we don’t learn English well, we can’t pass the exam to study in the upper class Secondly, I like studying English because English is an international language Knowing English I can speak to people all over the world I can read newspapers and watch program on television in English and can understand interesting English songs Last but not least, studying English well gives us chances to get jobs with good salary It gives us opportunities to improve our life In conclusion, English is useful and interesting language I will try my best to study English better and better It’s my ambition I hope it will become true What you in your free time? Everyone has own hobby in their free time Some like reading Others like going for a walk For me, I like watching television in my free time because of the following reasons What is your favorite media? Nowadays there are a lot of media in life Some likes reading newspapers Others like accessing the Internet For me I like watching television because of the following reasons Firstly, watching television gives us information about every aspect in our life It helps us know what is happening everywhere all over the world and widen our knowledge Secondly, watching television is a cheap mean for relaxing It’s comfortable to watch interesting film or listen to music at home Nextly, through watching television we can know how to protect our health thanks to health program for everyone In conclusion, watching TV is an useful form of relaxing But we shouldn’t spend much time watching it we should take more time for our study 10 What is your favorite media? ( unit 5) 10.1 Advantage of the internet As you know nobody can deny the benefits of the internet in our modern life In deed, the internet brings us the following benefits Firstly, the internet is a source of information It is a very fast and convenient way for us to get information about every aspect from our daily life to scientific fields Secondly, by using internet we can relax after a hard working day We can listen to interesting music, favorite songs , enjoy exciting football matches, films, games or read newspaper on line Besides by using internet we can communicate with our friends and relatives through chatting or using email Finally, thanks to internet we can have education but we don’t have to go to school or colleges because Internet helps us have on line school, on line lessons and self taught In conclusion, the internet is very useful for us However, we shouldn’t spend too much time for it and we should be careful while surfing the web 10.2 Disadvantage of the internet Nobody can deny that the internet brings us a lot of advantages However, it also gives us lots of the following disadvantages Firstly, It takes us time to use We must spend hours getting information Besides we also spend money accessing it Secondly, if we use the internet, our personal information such as our name, address can be accessed by the others Nextly, there are lots of bad programs on the internet such as sexual films, motor- races, violent films These programs can be easily found and badly influence on the children In conclusion, all of us should be aware of that internet is very useful for us but it also has lots of disadvantages so while surfing the web be alert! 11 PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT Nowadays our environment is polluted seriously so protecting our environment is our duty For me we can protect our environment in the following ways Firstly, we can use leaves to wrap food , reuse and recycle bottles and cans to reduce garbage Secondly, we shouldn’t throw trash onto the water to keep water cleaner put garbage bins around the school yard to prevent lazy students from throwing trash and to keep the schoolyard clean Nextly, we should go to school or to work on foot or by bicycle to reduce exhaust fume to keep our air cleaner In conclusion, it’s time for us to talk about environmental problem 12 SAVING ENERGY As you know our energy has limitation so saving energy is also our duty For me, we can save energy in the following ways Firstly, to save energy we should turn off all electric appliances such as lights, fans , air conditioners, gas stoves when we don’t use them Secondly, we should turn off the faucets when we go out because a dripping faucet can waste 500 liters of water a month Finally, we should go to school or go to work on foot or by bicycle or use public transport to save petrol and money We should also have a mechanic check our motorcycle regularly In short, saving energy is essential problem that we must immediately now if we want to preserve our natural resource of the earth 13 CELEBRATIONS Write a passage about if it’s necessary to have a day for dad and another for mom? Why? ( unit 8) This morning I just learned a lesson about father’s Day It was really interesting In Vietnam, however, people not celebrate Mother’s Day or Father’s Day In my opinion It’s necessary to have a day to celebrate for mom and another for dad There are lots of reasons for celebrating these days but the main reasons are the children will have a special day to express their feelings , their memories and their love to their parents In addition , we’ll have an opportunity to enhance family traditions as well as a chance to get members of families together in order to bring them closer I think Sunday is the most suitable day for celebrating It is free from work or study It’s not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or dinner with all family members In this special day, children should serve their parents with food they like best and offer them flowers, cakes or special gift and cards I believe my idea will be supported and the day for our parents will be celebrated nationwide someday 14 NATURAL DISASTERS PREPARE BEFORE THE TYPHOON COMES Typhoon is one of the natural phenomenon The scientists can predict when it happens However , it sometimes happens suddenly so preparing well before the typhoon comes is very necessary and practical For me the things we need to before typhoon comes are Firstly, we should buy some canned food and some candles and matches because when typhoon comes the market will be closed and no food will be available and there may be a power cut Secondly, we should fill with buckets with water because when typhoon comes, the water pipes may be damaged Nextly, we should fix the leak in the roof and tie the roof to the Ground and pegs and ropes and check the windows and door latches because when typhoon comes it will be rainy and windy In conclusion, preparing before the typhoon comes is our duty if we want to have a good life in areas where disasters often happen 15 LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS 15 PREPARE FOR THE SPACE TRIP Perhaps travelling to the space is everyone’s wish If we decide to take the trip to the space , we will have to get ready a few months before the flight I think the things we need to prepare to have a trip to space are First of all, we must have a million dollars to buy things we need such as aircraft, personal things and many other things Secondly, we must have a good health and to have it, we must run a lot, swim everyday, aerobics and push- ups and we must also get a letter from the doctor that show we are in perfect health Last but not least, we must be a good traveler, we must get used to being in the situation of weightless condition We aren’t vomited or dizzied when we are in orbit of the earth To have all of these things, we should exercise very much every day In conclusion, it’s very interesting to have a trip to space and it’s very difficult to have that trip so if you will able to take a space trip , you know what you must 15.2 THE THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU HAVE A SPACE TRIP Perhaps travelling to the space is everyone’s wish I think if we get on the space trip , we will able to see wonderful things In fact, once we get on the trip, we will be in different world You will see pictures of the Earth We may also find our country and other interesting places We will be able to see the oceans, the big rivers, the tall mountains We will be able to see them many times because we will orbit the Earth 16 times a day! We will also be able to see stars that we couldn’t see from the Earth Besides, when we are in orbit, you will be able to get out of our seat and walk in the cabin We will be able to walk on the wall or on the ceiling like in a circus We will not weigh anything! We will feel totally free and enjoy the wonderful feeling we have never had before We really experience those marvelous things when we are on the board In conclusion, it’s very interesting to have a trip to space Do you want to have it? Start to dream now and your dream may come true some day 16 “Should teachers give pupils much homework?” Write a composition to express your idea on this (You should write within 200 - 220 words) I believe that much homework is not necessary Pupils already spend most of the day in school They need their time outside of school to other things They need time to spend with their family, to work, and to just relax They can learn their lessons with homework two or three exercises a day, but much homework isn’t necessary All pupils need to spend time with their families They are still young and they need the guidance and support their parents can give them They need the companionship of their brothers and sisters In addition, many families rely on their older children to help out at home They take care of the younger children and help with the cooking and cleaning If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for their families Many high school pupils have jobs They go to their jobs after school and on weekends Some work in order to help their families Others works to save money for college Pupils’ jobs are very important to them If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have enough energy to go to work Pupils need time to relax They study hard in school all day and many works at jobs after school But they are still young They need to spend their time with their friends and have fun When pupils relax with friends, they then have more energy for school and work They have a chance to develop social skills or to pursue their own interests Having free time is important for a child’s development If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for relaxation In conclusion, I think homework is important for pupils, but other things are important, too Some homework is good, but much homework can take time away from a pupil’s family, job, and relaxation There needs to be a balance Therefore, teachers shouldn’t give pupils much homework DE PART TWO: PHONETICS (2.0 pts) I Choose the word whose underlined part pronounced differently from that of the others A ordered B published C impressed D escaped A exchange B brochure C challenge D charity A gemstone B generous C giant D garbage A treatment B teaching C disease D spread A deny B terrify C energy D liquefy II Choose the word whose stress pattern is different from the others by circling A, B, C A planet B exist C routine D behind A encourage B primary C inventor D addictive A competitive B requirement C temperature D mysterious 4.A representative B satisfactory C documentary D deforestation A annoyance B government C experiment D participate PART THREE: VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR (6.5 pts) I Circle best option A, B, C or D to complete the following sentences (0.1 x 15 = 1,5 p I read an interesting……………………in the paper the other day A article B information C news D reporting 2.“How you feel before the exam?” – “ very…………………….” A shy B boring C nervous D fearsome 3.I wish this exam……………………… easier A is B will be C would D were 4.Lack of funds prevented him………………………….with his study A to continue B with continuing C continuing D from continuing 5.It’s very cold in here Do you mind ……………………… I close the window A whether B as if C If D for 6.He seldom goes to the cinema,……………………… ?
