1 Last weekend I went to a gallery in London with my parents. There was a big exhibition of modern art on that they wanted to see. I really wasn’t particularly keen to go as I’m not a big fan of modern art, but I like to keep an open mind and was prepared to revise my opinion. So I went along with them. The artist, who’s already quite famous, had created some sculptures using everyday objects from around her home. My parents loved it, but although one or two of the sculptures were quite interesting, I didn’t really understand what the artist was trying to say. I’ll think of an excuse if my parents ask me again.

2 Last summer I went to a music festival with a group of friends. It was the first time I’d been to a festival. I wasn’t planning on going but a friend had a spare ticket. Anyway, I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately it rained most of the time and the field we were camping in turned into a sea of mud! I didn’t mind that really, but I thought the music would be better. The bands weren’t particularly well known and the one band I was looking forward to seeing cancelled at the last minute. Despite that, we’ve agreed to go again next year.

3 Last month I went to the theatre with my family. We saw a play called An Inspector Calls by J. B. Priestly. We’re studying the play at school. It’s a bit boring and I’d already seen it a couple of times on DVD, but mum convinced me that it would be a good idea to see it again. Anyway, it was as bad as I’d feared. It was a local amateur theatre company and the acting was pretty awful. I suppose it didn’t do me any harm though. Seeing a live performance at the theatre has helped me to get to know the play a bit better.

4  I hardly ever watch or listen to musicals – maybe about once a year, if that. But last weekend I went to see Mamma Mia! in London. I’m a big ABBA fan and I’d been meaning to go and see it for ages. I asked lots of friends to come along, but only two agreed. Anyway, I booked really good seats right at the front. It was an amazing experience! As I expected, the music was fantastic, as were the singers and dancers. I’m going to go again, but I need to find someone else to go with as my friends weren’t so impressed by it.

1 Cuối tuần trước tôi đã đi đến một phòng trưng bày ở London với bố mẹ tôi. Có một triển lãm lớn về nghệ thuật hiện đại mà họ muốn xem. Tôi thực sự không đặc biệt muốn đi vì tôi không phải là người hâm mộ nghệ thuật hiện đại, nhưng tôi muốn giữ một tâm hồn cởi mở và sẵn sàng sửa đổi ý kiến của mình. Vì vậy, tôi đã đi cùng với họ. Người nghệ sĩ, vốn đã khá nổi tiếng, đã tạo ra một số tác phẩm điêu khắc bằng cách sử dụng những vật dụng hàng ngày xung quanh nhà của cô ấy. Cha mẹ tôi rất thích nó, nhưng mặc dù một hoặc hai tác phẩm điêu khắc khá thú vị, nhưng tôi không thực sự hiểu người nghệ sĩ muốn nói gì. Tôi sẽ nghĩ ra một cái cớ nếu bố mẹ tôi hỏi lại tôi.

2 Mùa hè năm ngoái tôi đã đi đến một lễ hội âm nhạc với một nhóm bạn. Đó là lần đầu tiên tôi đến một lễ hội. Tôi không định đi nhưng một người bạn có một vé dự phòng. Dù sao, tôi đã thực sự mong đợi nó. Thật không may, trời mưa hầu hết thời gian và cánh đồng chúng tôi cắm trại biến thành một biển bùn! Tôi thực sự không bận tâm về điều đó, nhưng tôi nghĩ âm nhạc sẽ hay hơn. Các ban nhạc không đặc biệt nổi tiếng và một ban nhạc mà tôi mong chờ đã bị hủy bỏ vào phút cuối. Mặc dù vậy, chúng tôi đã đồng ý đi lại một lần nữa vào năm tới.

3 Tháng trước tôi đi xem hát với gia đình. Chúng tôi đã xem một vở kịch tên là Cuộc gọi của thanh tra của J. B. Priestly. Chúng tôi đang học vở kịch ở trường. Nó hơi nhàm chán và tôi đã xem nó vài lần trên DVD, nhưng mẹ đã thuyết phục tôi rằng nên xem lại nó. Dù sao thì nó cũng tệ như tôi đã lo sợ. Đó là một đoàn kịch nghiệp dư địa phương và diễn xuất khá tệ. Tôi cho rằng nó không làm hại tôi. Xem một buổi biểu diễn trực tiếp tại nhà hát đã giúp tôi hiểu rõ hơn về vở kịch.

4 Tôi hầu như không bao giờ xem hoặc nghe nhạc kịch – nếu có thì khoảng một năm một lần. Nhưng cuối tuần trước tôi đã đi xem Mamma Mia! tại Luân Đôn. Tôi là một người hâm mộ cuồng nhiệt của ABBA và tôi đã định đi xem nó từ rất lâu rồi. Tôi đã rủ rất nhiều bạn bè đi cùng nhưng chỉ có hai người đồng ý. Dù sao thì, tôi đã đặt chỗ rất tốt ngay phía trước. Đó là một trải nghiệm tuyệt vời! Đúng như tôi mong đợi, âm nhạc thật tuyệt vời, các ca sĩ cùng vũ công cũng vậy. Tôi sẽ đi một lần nữa, nhưng tôi cần tìm một người khác để đi cùng vì bạn bè của tôi không ấn tượng lắm về điều đó.

k hộ mình nha bạn

It’s a coastal city named Nha Trang which is considered as a sprawling city. It’s quite compact and you could walk across the city in a couple of hours but actually, there’s no need to do that as we have a fantastic public transport system so it’s easy to get around. 

I visited this peaceful city 1 year ago when I was on my summer holiday to dispel the extreme heat of the sun. I came along the sandy beach to enjoy the fresh air of the wind and the salty taste of sea water. I felt all my daily stress and hardness set aside. I also dropped by some upmarket shops and chain stores in the centre but only for window shopping. Pavement cafes everywhere surprised me most where I could take a cup of cafe whenever I wanted.

I am definitely keen on living in this city due to many reasons. Firstly, it is such a worth-living city because of its peace, cleanliness and beauty. I can see the colorful lifestyle of Nha Trang people. Secondly, this charming city attracts a lot of foreign visitors, so I can learn many things from them.

I think that if I have a chance, I will definitely try to live in this city for some years before settling down in Ha Noi capital.  

Sample Answer

I love traveling and exploring new places. Today, I’m going to talk about a foreign city I wish to visit. It’s London, the capital of United Kingdom.  Since London is about 7000 km from my hometown, the only viable modes of transport to reach there are water and air. If I were to choose between these two modes, I’d prefer a flight because it’ll take less time as compared to a cruise. From safety and economic points of view as well, I think going by air is definitely the better option.

Talking about the time when I’ll go to London, I haven’t yet decided, maybe in summer this year. I don’t know who I’d take with me but it would probably be some people that are close to me, I feel that visiting a new place is more fun if you’re with your family or friends. I’ll have a word with my parents and friends, whoever wants to come with me is welcome.

Coming to the many reasons why I want to visit London, I guess the main reason would be my fascination with history and art. You see, London is one of the oldest multicultural cities in the world. I’ve read about the changes which transformed this city into a center of history, art, business, and education through many of its conquests of the world. And thus, London is home to world-class museums and art galleries, all having a different and unique story behind them.

Other than that London also happens to have the oldest underground railway system in the world. To visit the most popular tourist attractions of London has been on my bucket list for a long time. These include the London Bridge, National Art Gallery, and the British Museum. I’ve heard that the bakeries in London are some of the best out there. I’d love to see what they have to offer.

Hope that ya study well^^

If I had been on a trip like this, I would have enjoyed it. Traveling the world on a yacht for sixteen years would be an exciting and adventurous experience, with the opportunity to explore different cultures, landscapes, and wildlife. Swimming with seals near the Galápagos Islands would be a memorable experience and visiting 56 countries would be an incredible achievement
