(Ni v tm quan trng ca vic hc ngoi ng) Learning foreign languages is important because of these following reasons: First, a foreign language gives you the ability to communicate and to exchange views with people all over the world. Second, when you travel to different countries for purposes of touring or studying, in both cases you need to know the language. When in another country, if you can communicate with the people there, life becomes easier. Learning foreign language helps you make new friends. Third, in a globalized world, linguistic skills are important for employment and career. The knowledge of foreign languages increases job opportunities in foreign companies. Because of these reasons, I think we should learn foreign languages. Topic 13: The advantage of living in the countryside.(Ni v nhng thun li khi sng nng thn) Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages. First, the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy. We are healthier and we don't need to worry about your health condition because in the countryside the air and water are so clean. Second, In the countryside, we can enjoy the cool atmosphere and there are lots of green trees and flowers. In the country, we are free to walking in the forest and picking mushrooms (or hunting). Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city. What is more, people in the countryside are friendly and simple. Country life is very peaceful and silent. In short, I like living in the country because I like the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Topic 11: The means of transport you like/hate most.(Ni v phng tin giao thng bn thch/gt nht) There are a lot of means of transport now but my favorite means of transpots is bicycle. I like bicycles for some reasons. First, it is good for my health. I am very busy and I don't have enough time for physical exercice. Riding bicycle is a chance for me to do exercice. Second, it helps me enjoy the natural life. I can breathe fresh air early in the morning, ride in the sunshine under the blue sky and white cloud. I really feel so comfortable and relaxed. Another reason is that it helps to protect our environment because it does not cause pollution. It is important in big cities to reduce pollution. Because of these resons, I like bicycle most

Topic 14: The disadvantage of living in the city.(Ni v nhng bt tin khi sng thnh ph) Among disadvantages of living in the cities, air pollution, traffic jam and high living cost are three main disadvantages. The first disadvantage is pollution. You see more and more people move to big cities to live and work. The number of traffic, companies, factories is increasing fast. This makes environment polluted by smoke from factories and traffic. Another disadvantage is the traffic jam. there are a lot of people and transports in the city but the roads are usually narrow and bad. One more disadvantage is that the cost of living in city is very high. Nowadays development of the city is faster and so the public services cost a lot of money. It is difficult for the poor and workers to live in cities. In short, living in the city may not be a good idea.

Nghia Tan No 11 Dear Mom and Dad By this time I am well adjusted to living away from home. Living in another country is the only way to become acquainted with what the people are really like. It is only by becoming very good friends with some of the American students here at school that I have gained many insight s into their way of life. Even though the country side looks very different here and the weather changes to great extremes from winter cold and snow to summer sun and heat. I find that people are the same everywhere. Everyone has respect and love especially for their family. And special loyalty toward friends. Everyone is connerned with living in peace with his fellowmen, but sometimes this is hard to see clearly. All men have love for their country and a need to do satisfying work. And everyone needs to have a home of his own and to raise his own family. I am learning a lot by being here for so long . I am learning about life through living here. And not just from studying at the universty. However, studying is what I must do right now. So until I write again. I remain your loving son. Your son.
