to listen to Students can also satisfied by chances of exchanging more information and receiving greater care from teachers Besides, with teachers assignment and homework, more pressure is placed on study Another advantage to mention is the development of related skills when going to school Schools are mini societies that promote communication skill as well as relationship among students through daily school- preparation and conversation Last but not least, studying at traditional school is much healthier Instead of sitting at home for hours to learn, learners have to travel and play at break

how to protect endangered animals in particular This should be included in their curriculum at school Secondly, the governments all over the world should set up national parks and wild-life preserves as many as possible Thanks to these places, animals will have a suitable habitat to survive and good conditions to grow and multiply There they can be kept in a natural and safe environment Last but not least, each nation must enforce stricter law with more serious punishment- capital punishment, for example- to prevent people from poaching rare and valuable animals In general, each of us has the

Knowledge from books forms a very important part of our knowledge structure In schools and colleges, we learn knowledge which is fundamental to our future career We learn knowledge from books in order to make our contributions to this society in the future A student learns mathematic equations and other scientific knowledge and become a scientist or engineer We will be illiterate and ignorant without learning knowledge from books Moreover, we acquire knowledge about life and the world by reading books, magazines and newspapers This is also very important as we cannot experience everything all by ourselves Therefore books are a very important source of knowledge On the other hand, we can't learn everything from a book “Experience is the best teacher” is an old cliché, but I agree with it The most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations We learn how to get along with others or how to have self-respect from our experience, not from books We cannot learn emotional feelings, such as love and care, through books; they come from our real life experience Knowledge from experience is also a very important supplement to knowledge from books Needless to say both learning sources, books and experience, are very important to us But in my opinion knowledge from experience is more important, because without knowledge from experience, it is impossible to get a real understanding of knowledge from books, and how to apply this knowledge to real world situations Key: Exercise 33: ( 4) thi th thpt qu c gia 2015-Tr ng thpt Qu ng La-Qu ng Ninh l n A sample writing: I like swimming It is my favorite sport, for I know that it is healthy as well as a good chance for a person to exercise his or her body Last Sunday morning, as the weather was fine, I went to Ha Long with my family It took us about two hour by car to arrive at our destination, and I felt very excited about it When our car reached the top of the cliff overlooking the Bay, I admired the golden sand of the long beach, the blue sky and water, and the splendid country surroundings which looked like an artist s painting We put on our bathing-suits and ran into the water It was a very happy swim for me We played ball, challenged each other in swimming a certain distance Of course, I was always beaten by my bigger brothers but I was satisfied with my good effort When we felt tired, we lay down on the beach to rest and to have some sunbath At about noon, we returned to our tent and had lunch About p.m we went once more into the water and swam till p.m Finally, we got ready to start for home Everyone was delighted to have spent such a wonderful swim I really enjoyed swimming very much [...]... thpt qu c gia 2015-tr ng THPT Lý Chính Th ng) What career would you like to choose after leaving school?
