1. Write a 100-120 word paragraph about the reasons why several traditional crafts have died.
- Less profitable than other careers
- Lack of education
- Strict requirements
Answer:
There are several reasons for the extinction of traditional crafts. First, jobs related to practicing
traditional crafts seem to be less profitable. Therefore, many artisans have switched to more
potentially well-paid jobs in urban areas. Another reason is that to master these crafts one has to meet
some strict requirements such as artistic skills, patience and carefulness. As a result, many people feel
discouraged after some training sessions. Last but not least, the lack of education about the
significance of traditional crafts can also explain why these are tend to be not popular among younger
generations.
2. Write a 100-120 word paragraph about the advantages and disadvantages of life in the
countryside.
Answer:
Living in the countryside has many benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, the environment is less
polluted. In rural areas, there are many plant species and not any huge blocks of flats, factories or
bothersome traffic jams. Therefore, countryside residents can enjoy fresh air and green environment.
Moreover, the cost of living is cheaper than in the city, so people probably may afford many other
things, because the prices are lower. On the other hand, there are several negative aspects of living in
the countryside. First, the unemployment rate is much higher than in the city because job opportunities
are limited. Another drawback is that there are not many modern facilities such as schools, hospitals or
entertainment facilities. As a result, life in the countryside can be unsuitable for young generations.
3. Write a 100-120 word paragraph about a favorite city in Vietnam.
I have been to many places in Vietnam, but the most interesting place that I always remember is Da
Nang, the beautiful coastal city in Vietnam. It’s wonderful to me because of these reasons. First, the
scenery in Da Nang is ideal for us to go sunbathing. We can swim in the blue and clear seawater or do
sunbathing on the soft sand beach under the yellow and warm sunshine. The air is so fresh and pure.
Second, the local sea food are fresh, delicious but not expensive. For example, tourists can enjoy
different kinds of seafood such as crab, prawn, lobster, seashell… Also, the people there are friendly,
sociable and polite. Third, there are many interesting activities to do beside playing football, tennis on
the beach, building sandcastles on the beach or watching the sunrise. For example, we can sail on
abroad trip to the Cu Lao Cham and watch the mountain scenery on the way. Also, we may visit Ba
Na Hill….For these reasons, Da Nang has always been one of my favorite tourist attractions.

10. Write about advantages and disadvantages of eating out (+: relax, save time; -: expensive,
unhealthy food)
Eating out has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it provides many benefits. Firstly, it
is an easy way to get a meal when you are too busy to cook. For example, you can eat takeaway or fast
food, which is quickly served. Another advantage is that eating out can be a fun thing to do with your
family and friends. Enjoying a freshly cooked meal in a beautifully decorated background can
be very relaxing. On the other hand, there are some drawbacks of eating out. One problem is that it is
more expensive than eating at home. Because there are so many people who work at restaurants who
all need to be paid, it costs a lot more than buying ingredients at the grocery store and making meal at
home. Moreover, eating out can be unhealthy. You don't prepare the food yourself, so sometimes it's
hard to know which ingredients are included in your food. This is especially true at fast food
restaurants, which often have fatty, sugary foods.
The last few years has witnessed the increased popularity in online learning, which can offer
numerous benefits for students. The first advantage is that there are a variety of programs and courses
available on the Internet. This allows students to find and attend online courses they need. They can
also earn every academic degree online, from a career certificate to a doctorate. Another thing that
students can benefit from online learning is that this form of education creates a comfortable and
flexible learning environment. Online courses give students the opportunity to plan their study time so
that they can study and work when they are at their peak energy. In conclusion, students can benefit a
lot from online courses.
