nhất)
Sample answer |
Vocabulary |
|
(Answer) Well, people may think that I
am weird, but honestly, my most favorite type of weather that I like most is
snowy weather. I was born in Vietnam, snow is very scarce and
it can only be seen in one or two mountainous provinces in the Northern part. (Reason) I like it because I want to
be immersed in beautiful white snowflakes and
have some fun with them. (Example) Just the thought of building a snowman or throwing snow at
my friends makes me happy as a
clam. I often wish I could go to some Western countries such as
America, Sweden or England to enjoy thefreezing
cold weather as well as admiring the snow falling outside – one
of the most interesting natural
phenomena. (Reason) Additionally, I like winter
because this is the time that I can wear my favorite clothes, which are warm
clothes such as sweater, thick coat or boots. (Example) Although I am
aware that it is not eassy to live in the weather when temperature is low,
sometimes I tremble with
cold but I really want to enjoy that vibe.
Now many people know that due to global warming, the temperature in some
countries has begun to rise, which leads to a reduction in snow. I have to
rush so that I can enjoy true snowy weather! |

Sample answer |
Vocabulary |
|
(Answer) Well, I would like to talk
about the “historical flood” that happened in Hanoi a decade ago, 2008. This
must be the year that Hanoians can never forget. (Reason) It is memorable because the
rain was so heavy and lasted for many days consecutively that inundated many streets of
Hanoi. (Example) The rain was considered heaviest in the last 100 years,
which caused people to suffer from a lot of damage. Precipitation reached a record high and almost all
activities were paused to ensure the safety of both people and property. According to statistics, many families even
suffered from inundation as high level of water flew into their houses.
Offices or schools had to make emergency
announcement to let their employees and students be at home to
avoid any potential accidents that may caused by thepouring
rain. Life then had a lot of disturbanceand
people had to wait until it stopped raining. The rain triggered inconvenience
for people in different fields as high death
toll was recorded, traffic was in no order or people stood a
high chance of dangerous epidemics.
Luckily, after a few days, life began to come back to the way it was thanks
to concerted effort of
both local authority and many people of the city. |

Part 3
Why
the world has to suffer from natural disasters more than ever before? (Tại
sao thế giới đang ngày càng phải chịu nhiều những thiên tai hơn bao giờ hết?)
Sample answer |
Vocabulary |
|
(Answer) Well, I think this is a
worldwide issue that needs to be solved before it is too late. (Reason)
Obviously, there is global warmingthat
is resulted from human activities such asdeforestation or
over-exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the exhaust fumes from
vehicles or factories are the main reason that causes the Ozone depletion. That is why more
natural disasters are happening. (Example) Personally I think both government
and citizens all over the world should act now before humankind has to suffer
from more serious disasters in the future. |
