1. Describe a friend

My best friend is Lan. We have known each other since we were 10 years old. However we became best friends when we were at grade 7. At that time I was very bad at English and it was who helped me improve my English. Now she lives with her parents in Nguyen Trai street.

If I were to describe how she looks I would say she is very pretty. She has long black hair a straight nose and a small pointed chin. She is quite slim. She doesn t like to dress up so I usually see her wearing jeans and a T - shirt. She has a very nice personality and a wonderful sense of humour but she can also get a little depressed from time to time. I can always count on her to be honest and to give me the best advice.

What I like about Lan is that she has same hobbies with me. We both enjoy singing karaoke reading comic books and going shopping. We like going to the cinema but sometimes can t agree on which movie to see. In addition since I am better in Maths and Chemistry and she is better in English and languages we can always help each other if we get confused about a difficult homework assignment. We are so lucky that we get along so well. I hope that our friendship can last long.

2. Describe a room in your house

My favorite room in my house is my bedroom. My bedroom is my man cave, spa, and gym. It's my man cave because me and my cousins hang out in that room. It's my spa because I realax in that room like if it was a spa. It's a gym because thats were I have my bench, dumb bells and punching bag. Sleeping in another room is nothing like sleeping in my room. I fixed up my own room. I painted it white and dark lime green, It's pattern'd. I have a 40 inch led hdtv plasma tv. My iguana cage makes my room cooler. I wanted my room to have tile on the floor. It doesn't matter any more now that were moving from that house. Were not moving far at all, it's only like a block away.

3. Talk about your family

Our family is large (small, not very large). We are the family of five (three, four, five, six): my mother, my father, two my brother and I. My mother's name is … She is … years old. She is a farmer(a teacher a doctor, a worker, an engineer). She is a very nice, kind and clever woman. My father's name is ... He is ... years old. He is a farmer,too (a teacher, an engineer, a doctor, a businessman). He is rather tall and strong.
He is a man of strong character - and all of us love him very much. Both of my brother are machanics (students ,pupils). Their names are ... I love them very much.

We are a very good family. We love each other very much. In the evenings, when all the members of our family get together after work and study, we like to watch TV, to read books and newspapers, to talk about different things and to discuss all our problems together. When the weather is good we sometimes go for a walk. We have a small house in the country with a garden and a kitchen-garden. There is much work there and on week-ends we go there and work and have rest all together.

4. Talk about your hobbies. Why ?

Like everyone, I have my private hobbies. I have many hobbies such as watching horror films, reading novels, listening to music e.t.c But I like traveling best. Firstly, when I have to study or work too much, I usually feel tired and bored,so I want to refesh myself and travelling is a good way for me to relax.Secondly, travelling helps me widen my knowledge because I can pick up a lot of different cultures and study so much from them.Besides,I can learn foreign languages when I travel abroad. On the other hand, travelling makes my life more interesting because I can meet lots of people all over the world and make new friends.Finally, I can admire true beauty and enjoy it when I go to different places. However, it's hard for me to travel abroad because I'm always busy studying and I don't have much money.To sum up, I love travelling very much because it not only cheer me up but also keep my eyes open.

5. Talk about your village/town

I was born in a quiet village where the influence of the city is not much. It is a small village with a population of about two thousand people. It is a very good place for relaxation indeed.

In my village, people live very close to each another. The people are very simple in thought and behavior. Therefore they are friendly and helpful . So, the crimes of the city are almost unknown in my village. The people work together and live in peace. I love them. My village is surrounded by paddy-fields and a river. All these add great beauty and variety to my village scene. Although I do not like growing rice, but I really like the fields. It makes me have a good mood, a peace mood and a relaxed mood.

Now I am living in Hanoi capital. I want to come back my hometown very much. Living among such friendly and simple people, in such a quiet village, is indeed a real pleasure.

Well, when it comes to my closest friend, off the top of my head, I would say it’s Tina. We go back a long way. In fact, we have been friends since my first year at university. To this day, I still remember vividly the first time I met her was in the grammar class. At first, I thought she was a talkative and graceless girl. However, as I got to know her more, I realized that Tina was a very loveable person and in fact we shared a lot in common.

When it comes to personality, I and Tina are complete opposites. While she is very approachable and patient, I am rather bad-tempered and reserved. To me, one of Tina’s most admirable personality traits is that she has good communication skills. I mean, she can easily strike up a conversation with anyone that she’s just met. As different as our personalities are, we see eye to eye with each other about a lot of things such as marriage, work and viewpoint of life

Back in the days when we’re still at college, we hung out with each other every other week, mostly to the cinema or to the food stalls near our school. Now that we’ve graduated, I and she no longer see each other as regularly as we used to because both of us are always occupied with work. I only see her once every other month so we always have a lot of catching up to do.

I consider Tina my best friend for a couple reasons. Firstly, she really respects me and loves me for who I am. Secondly, despite having a hectic schedule, she‘s always willing to lend a sympathetic ear whenever I have problems or feel demotivated.

It doesn't matter where you study as long as the space is quiet, comfortable and distraction-free. Wherever you choose to study, put up motivating quotes, pictures, or anything else that makes you feel good.

People work best at different times of the day, and only you know when you work most efficiently. Figure out when you seem to get things done most efficiently and organise your routine around that.Different people also have different learning styles. Some people work well when they plan things visually, other people get their best results from working in a group. Once you figure out your personal learning style, you can get your work done more effectively.If you feel like you're not getting anywhere while studying, take a break and come back to your work later. You're rarely productive if you keep trying to work when you're tired or stressed.

Life in modern cities truly causes a lot of nuisances. In the first place, citizens have to deal with traffic congestion every day. This problem is even worse in the rush hour when so many people run out to work and are stuck on streets for hours. Next, high cost of living is also a serious issue in the city, especially in metropolitan cities. More and more people find it difficult to live on their modest salaries when prices are going up all the time. Financial pressure makes city dwellers become constantly stressed and tired. Finally, the polluted air caused by exhaust emissions from millions of vehicles, construction dust and the lack of green trees negatively affects residents’ health. Many people suffer from respiratory problems such as cough, sore throat or asthma. Indeed, city life brings a number of difficulties as well as challenges to its citizens.
