7. What do you think is the best leisure activities for teenagers? Why do you think so?
In my opinions, community is the best leisure activities for teenager. First, because today's teens are not confident in communicating and living virtual with technology so they have no hobby and do not know how to play sports and they are afraid to meet someone so it can change they more confident. Second, it will make them know more knowledge and more life skills. Besides, it improves health, helps us feel comfortable and acquainted with many new people will help us always happy and not alone when sad and we can share interesting things together and make us have good friendship. Finally, this action will help the world become more and more attached and better in the future. As I have noted (in short, for these reasons) teenagers should communication with people and friends more for a good future life of yourself and of us.
I believe the best leisure activity for teenagers is any group activity. This could be playing a team sport or joining a hobby group or even volunteering. Firstly, teenagers like to feel that they belong to the group. Secondly, being part of a group helps teenagers make friends. Friendship is very important to teenagers. In addition, they will make friends with people who have the same interests as them. For these reasons, I think group activities are best for teenagers
8. Should parents decide how teenagers spend their free times?
In my opinion, parents should decide for teenagers spend their free time sensibly. It must right balance between learning and playing. First, young people can play thirty minutes in their free time after school is finished, during work breaks, teens can play sports such as basketball, football, badminton and so on. They have few friends, free time is not known, then they on facebook all day, it's a waste of time. Second, young people can read books to develop the brain and thinking ability. Third, young people can help their parents with housework in your spare time, or go charity with her parents. Fourth, parents should provide for youth participation in social activities so that they are more confident and make friends. For this reason, parents should let teens participate in activities or play in their free time and do not create pressure for teens.
Topic 2: Life in the countryside
1. Talking about what you like or dislike about the life in the countryside? Why?
Like: People can live in the fresh atmosphere in the countryside. They can go fishing in the river for food. There was so much space so we can run around the fields and shout out loud without disturbing anybody and we will feel so freedom. I like picking fruits like blackberries, apple, mango, etc, and I like do farm work like digging holes, plaiting vegetables, collecting water, swimming in the river and flying kites with new friends.
Dislike: It is inconvenient without shopping centre, supermarket and entertainment centre is miles away. There is also no running water and electricity and it doesn’t excite at all and the life there have a little boring than the city
2.What do you like about the life of nomads?
I like the ger of them, because it keep cool in summer and warm in winter, even when the temperature drops to -50C and it can be put up then taken down and transported so it convenient.
I like to go to everywhere and meet new people will make we have more skills and I like the beautiful grassland, vast pastures, rivers and mountains they go to.
The children there learn to ride a horse and they learn to be brave and it so interesting with me
3.What don’t you like about the life of nomads?
They can’t live permanently in one place and I don’t like doing too much heavy work like herding the cattle and they only have some little food, no food like noodle, hamburger, etc.
The nomads life is not as modern as the life of city, The life in the city is more interesting things.
4.Talk about changes in your neighborhood.
On summer holidays, I often go back to my hometown and I have seen many changes in this rural area over the years. The most impressive change is in education. Recently, there are more schools rebuilt nearby and they are better equipped. This summer, my hometown friends and me enjoy reading different kind of books and comic in the new library. This change make me stay here a lot more enjoy able. Means of communication is the second big change I can see in this area. In the past, the common way to contact somebody far away was to write letters by hand. Nowadays, thank to mobile phone and even social networks, the local can keep in touch more easily. However, the negative change in the environment is something I dislike, Vast paddy fields where the children used to fly kites no longer exist. Instead a new industrial zone appears. Worse, factories in the zone are polluting the river and make it too dirty for us. As I have noted, my hometown has experienced both positive and negative changes. ( My neighborhood has lot of better change in this area than the past).
5. Do you like live in the city in the country or the city? Why?
I like live in the countryside because it peaceful and the atmosphere there is not polluted as the city. I love the fresh air in here and the beautiful scenery here like the big beautiful vast, the blue sky, the rivers and trees, etc. The people here are friendly and kind, they are hard farmer and I like the persistence of them. I like to help them working and after I finished I can enjoy to relax with a a cup of milk or tea. I love the life in the countryside very much because it have a big meaningful with me.
I like the live in the city because it modern and more convenient than the life of the countryside and it have a lot of interesting things than the countryside.

Topic 1 :
I would like to talk about the Lunar New Year festival, also known as the Tet holiday, which is the occasion expected the most by Vietnamese people every year. The festival usually lasts for around 3-4 days, and it takes place when a new year comes according to the lunar calendar.
– The Lunar New Year festival takes place because it is one of the most well-known traditions of Vietnam. Our people have been celebrating this occasion for thousands of years, and although there has been some recent argument about whether we should stop celebrating this festival, I do not think this activity will come to an end soon, at least not in the short term.
– There are some common things that people do during this festival. Perhaps the most important thing is that people who work and study in big cities would go back to their hometown to celebrate the new year with their families and relatives. The new year festival is one of very few occasions that families can gather together, so it is easy to understand why everyone in Vietnam expects this festival so much. Another thing that we usually do is that we give children some “lucky money” with the hope that it will bring fortune to those kids. We also have some other activities such as making “chung” cake, visiting temples and pagodas… and so on.
– The new year festival is so important to me and also to all Vietnamese citizens. The reason is because we get more days off from work and study, and therefore we have more time to spend with our families and our loved ones. It is also a great time to think about what we have done in the previous year, and to make plans for the upcoming year.
Topic 1:
Tet is a traditional holiday of our country, Vietnam.
It often begins in late-January and ends in early-February. With the meaning of seeing the old year off and welcoming the new year, Tet becomes a special occasion of reunion for Vietnamese families. At that time, all family members try to come back to their home and get together to make such preparations for Tet as buying new clothes and cleaning their house. A branch of apricot blossoms or a Kumquat tree is indispensable decoration for every family in these days. They seem like a fresh air to the house. We display a tray full of fruits and vases of flowers on the ancestral altar.
Some typical Tet's food are sweets, coconut jam, fruit candies, melon seeds, stew pork with eggs, and especially sticky rice cake. Tet meals are usually bigger and more delicious than our daily ones.
On Tet holiday, people have many recreational activities. Young persons take part in the traditional games such as: tug of war, cooking rice, cock fighting, watching lion dance. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money to children. Woman like going to pagoda to wish good things for their family.
In my opinion, I like cozy and fresh Tet atmosphere. All family members gather and talk about resolutions for a happy new year. I can hang out with my friend and don't worry about anything.
" Tet" holiday is always in Vietnamese's heart.
1.
I think that the best leisure activity for teenagers is playing sports. Firstly, they can find friends who have the same interests. Secondly, physical activities are a good way to relieve stress and reduce depression. Moreover, sports can help develop teamwork and leadership skills that may be very necessary for their future jobs. Their parents should give advice on choosing a suitable leisure activity; however, teenagers themselves will make the final decision.
2.
I like living in the countryside because of some reasons. Environmentally speaking, it is a peaceful place. The air is fresh. The space is quiet. We can enjoy healthy natural conditions without worrying much about environmental pollution.
As for social security, the countryside is a safer place than a city. While urban security situation is always complicated with all kinds of crimes, rural areas are much more secure because most of countrymen are friendly and ready to help one another.
Moreover, rural life is also easier that in cities. People in cities are easy to get stressed because of pollution, job pressures, competitions, etc ... On the contrary, those bad things are very rare in the countryside. To sum up, except income matters, the countryside is a better residence than cities.
VIETNAMESE COSTUME
The most recognisable traditional garment you’re likely to see in Vietnam today is the aodai, an item of national dress consisting of a long, tight-fitting, silk tunic worn over loose trousers. The design of the modern aodai is a variation on more traditional forms of dress, and was perfected in the 1950s. Though it was banned in the late 1970s, the aodai has since seen a resurgence and many women in Vietnam continue to wear it, often as part of a uniform for schools, universities and public service roles.
The male equivalent of the aodai is called the ao gam, and is a brocade tunic ordinarily worn only on special occasions, such as birthdays or festivals. You are less likely to see the ao gam than theaodai in a day-to-day setting in Vietnam.
More well-known even than the aodai, the non la is a style of Vietnamese conical hat that has become symbolic not just of Vietnam but of East Asia in general for many Westerners. The hat, which is usually made from bamboo or straw, appears in Vietnamese art dating from 2,500-3,000 years ago, and is considered part of modern Vietnamese national costume.
From the early twentieth century onwards, most Vietnamese have worn Western-style clothing in day-to-day life, while members of minority ethnic groups in the north of country still commonly wear the traditional dress of their own particular locality.

According to tradition, the tree is raised up against the devil and the ominous. the tree is often referred to hang or decorate what is considered to scare the devil as: garlic, cactus, effigies and Pandan. Before Tet, the Vietnamese also prepare chung cakes , day cake and hearty dishes to dedicate to their ancestors.
