The teacher, a kind woman with a dazzling smile, greeted me and showed me a colorful picture book. At first, I felt shy, but soon I made a friend named Sara, who shared her toy truck with me.

This builds their ability to express themselves clearly and understand their friends. Last but not least, playing also gives children a chance to relax and get ready for learning new things. It’s like recharging the batteries after hours at school.”

Additionally, pets can be great listeners, providing comfort without judgment, which is especially helpful during difficult times. Second, it encourages physical activity.

Sample:

“Studying with parents is especially helpful for young children because it provides both emotional and academic support. Parental support boosts children’s confidence, as they feel more motivated and reassured when learning in a familiar and supportive environment. When parents guide them through their studies, children are less afraid of making mistakes and are more willing to ask questions, which enhances their learning experience. Additionally, studying with parents strengthens the emotional bond between them, creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere.

In contrast, the second picture depicts a man in a black vest presenting individually in a large room filled with many people. Unlike the first image, where teamwork is emphasized, this man is handling the presentation alone. His relaxed expression suggests that he is confident and capable of tackling the task with ease. The overall mood of the second picture appears less intense and more composed compared to the first.”

2. Which do you think is better?

Sample:

“From my perspective, working in a group has clear advantages. Collaborating with others opens up opportunities to learn from a variety of experiences and expertise. When we work together, we benefit from different viewpoints and knowledge that can enhance our own understanding.

TEST 3

Part 2

1. Describe the picture.

Sample:

“In the picture, there is a homeless man playing the guitar on the street. His music touches the hearts of a few people, and they are listening carefully.

They all seem to like the music and the story it tells, which keeps them interested. The warm city atmosphere creates a sense of kindness and connection between the listeners and the musician.”

2. Do you listen to music in your free time?

Sample:

“Yes, of course. I listen to music most of my free time. It is a way for me to blow off some steam after a hectic schedule and recharge my batteries for the next day. Also, listening to music helps me fall asleep faster and have a deeper sleep. That said, I am not into all kinds of music. Take Rock as an example; it is a bit too noisy for me and gives me a headache. Last but not least, some slow melodies really boost my concentration when it comes to studying or reading.”

3. Why does music have the power to bring people together?

Sample:

“I think that music can engage people from all walks of life for several reasons. Firstly, music is a universal language. It provides a means for people to express their stories, values, and experiences no matter where they come from. Secondly, music plays a role in social activities. Just think of a party where people haven’t met each other before; music is a good way to break the ice and make them come together. Last but not least, when it comes to physical and biological effects, music affects our brains in positive ways. It can stimulate the release of dopamine, the ‘feel-good’ chemical, which makes people feel happy, relaxed, or energized. Overall, music is connecting and mentally beneficial.”

Part 3

1. Describe the pictures.

The teacher seems to truly inspire her students and create meaningful learning experiences for all.”

2. Do you prefer school learning or outdoor learning?

Sample:

“Well, I am personally into learning at both places. At school, the systematic education provides me with background knowledge that lays the foundation for exploring the outside world in the not-so-far future. On the other hand, learning outside the classroom feels more hands-on. It encourages me to develop problem-solving and decision-making skills, which learning at school can’t.”

3. Why do many students find learning at school boring?

Sample:

“Many students feel bored with learning at school for several reasons. First, in many schools, traditional materials and lessons based on textbooks are still used a lot. These lessons are often too theoretical and the same every day, which many students find unhelpful in real life. Second, teaching methods where the teacher only gives information without interaction make lessons less interesting for students. Lastly, the strict schedule of a school day can make students feel uncomfortable. Additionally, peer pressure and the focus on grades add more stress to students.”

They are very traditional; therefore, we love eating some Hanoi specialties, such as bun cha, which is grilled meat served with vermicelli alongside a basket of herbs and a bowl of hot and sour sweet fish sauce. I can eat a lot when it comes to eating out with my family. Also, the diner setting is warm and relaxing, which gives us a sense of home. Spending quality time with my family is a good way to unwind and recharge my battery for the hectic schedule.”

3. Why do people love spending time with family?

Sample:

“In my humble opinion, spending time getting together with family is important. Firstly, quality time with family helps family members understand each other better and strengthens emotional bonds, creating a strong support system. Moreover, the comfort of home encourages people to express themselves openly. Lastly, being with family provides emotional support, which can help people overcome stress. Come rain or shine, family is always by your side. Overall, there is no place like home, and finding a person who really makes your home home is necessary in life.”

3. What kind of sport is more popular in your country?

Sample:

“In my humble opinion, football is more popular in my country for several reasons. Firstly, it is accessible. All you need is an unoccupied piece of land, a net, a ball, shoes, etc., and you are ready to go. Secondly, football provides a sense of solidarity, which can engage people from all walks of life. Just think of the sensational victory of our national team against Japan, which is one of the strongest teams in Asia. Vietnamese people are so proud that they flood the streets to celebrate the historic event. Last but not least, there are many famous players who set a good example for the young about perseverance and diligence, such as Ronaldo and Messi. Overall, football is universal, engaging, and inspiring.”

Secondly, lots of people rely on the ocean for food, jobs, and income, especially in industries like fishing and tourism.

Overall, the degradation of ocean quality has a significant negative impact on our lives.”

She looks sweaty and completely focused on her training. Overall, these are typical pictures of workout styles nowadays.”

2. Which do you prefer?

Sample:
