1. WRITING: khoảng 250 từ
Test 1: You want to chat online with English-speaking students to practise your
English. Write your personal introduction.
Hello, my name’s Thuy and I’m from Vietnam. I’m a friendly and curious person who
likes discovering new things and sharing ideas with everyone. In my free time, I enjoy
reading books, listening to music, and cooking
I want to improve my English for many reasons. First, I need it for my studies because
a lot of reference materials are written in English. Second, it will be very useful for my
future job, since it can give me more opportunities to work with people from other
countries. I think practising English by chatting online is both fun and effective,
because it allows me to use the language in real conversations.
I’d like to make friends with someone who’s open-minded, cheerful, and especially
patient, and who enjoys talking about everyday topics. I don’t care if their English is
perfect or not, because for me the most important thing is to communicate and learn
together. I’d like to share stories about life in Vietnam, and I’d also love to hear about
their culture and daily experiences. I truly believe that chatting regularly will not only
help me improve my English but also help me make new friends all around the world.

some accessories, like earrings or a small handbag, to match the outfit. We can go to
the shopping mall because there are many fashion stores there, or we can try the local

Dear Ky Anh,
I’m in Đăk Lăk now and it’s amazing! The mountains and forests are so beautiful, and the
weather is cool. Yesterday I visited Buôn Đôn, which is famous for elephant hunting and
taming. There, I had the chance to ride an elephant, cross a swinging suspension bridge over
the Sêrêpôk River, and listen to many fascinating stories about the traditions of local ethnic
people. In the evening, I joined a gong festival, and tasted the Đăk Lăk coffee – it was strong,
aromatic, and truly the best coffee. It was so much fun.
Tomorrow I will go to Dray Nur Waterfall, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in this region.
I’m sure you would love this place too, with its nature and unique culture.
Can’t wait to share more stories with you soon!

Chào thầy, em tên Nguyễn Ngọc Đan Thùy, mã số sinh viên là: 230440011, lớp: 23CT01A.
Em sẽ giới thiệu với thầy về quê hương của em: Tỉnh Bến Tre (từ tháng 8/2025 đã được sát
nhập với tỉnh Vĩnh Long), nơi còn được biết đến với tên gọi khác: Xứ Dừa, Quê Hương Đồng
Khởi.
Bến Tre thường được gọi là “xứ dừa” vì khi đến đây bạn sẽ thấy cây dừa có mặt ở khắp nơi.
Thành phố thì nhỏ và không đông đúc như các thành phố lớn khác, nhưng con người thì rất hiền
hòa, dễ mến, không khí trong lành, dễ chịu. Cuộc sống ở đây thì đơn giản và không quá bận
rộn.
Người dân chủ yếu làm về nông nghiệp, đặc biệt là trồng dừa, trồng cây ăn trái, làm đồ thủ công
từ gáo dừa hoặc buôn bán nhỏ ở chợ địa phương. Khi đến thăm Bến Tre, bạn sẽ được đi xuồng
trên sông Mekong, tham quan các xưởng sản xuất đồ thủ công từ gáo dừa và thân cây dừa,
thưởng thức đặc sản địa phương: kẹo dừa, trà mật ong, bánh tráng Mỹ Lồng, bánh phồng Sơn
Đốc.
Mặc dù chỉ là thành phố nhỏ, cơ hội việc làm và địa điểm vui chơi ít hơn ở thành phố lớn,
nhưng tôi thích sống ở đây vì ở đây thoải mái, ít áp lực hơn, có nhiều trái cây tươi ngon, đồ ăn
hợp khẩu vị, là nơi tôi sinh ra và lớn lên nhưng quan trọng nhất là vì: gia đình tôi ở đây!

and pleasant. Life here is simple and not too busy.

local market. When visiting Ben Tre, you will take a rowing boat on the Mekong River, visit
workshops producing handicrafts from coconut shells and coconut trunks, and then you can try:
