2. Đáp án

2.1. Đề 1

• Describe the picture

The image depicts a diverse group of people crossing a city street at a pedestrian crosswalk. The scene takes place in an urban setting with skyscrapers lining the street. The people, dressed in various types of clothing, including business attire and casual wear, are walking in different directions, suggesting the hustle and bustle of city life. Some individuals carry bags or backpacks, I guess they might be commuting to or from work or school. The gun casts shadows, implying it might be morning or late afternoon. I can see that the overall atmosphere is quite busy. 

• What do you think about living in a crowded city?

From my point of view, living in a crowded city has its upsides and downsides. On the positive side, you have easy access to amenities, diverse job opportunities, and vibrant cultural experiences. Public transportation is often efficient, and everything you need is usually nearby. However, the downsides include noise, pollution, higher living costs, and limited living space. The fast pace and constant activity can be stressful for some. Whether it's a good fit depends on personal preferences and lifestyle. Some people thrive in the energy of a bustling city, while others might prefer the peace of a quieter area.

• Why do many people hate crowded places?

Frankly speaking, I think a number of people dislike crowded places due to several factors. Noise and lack of personal space can be overwhelming, causing stress and discomfort. Long wait times and difficulty navigating through crowds add to the frustration. Safety concerns, such as the risk of accidents or pickpocketing, also play a role. Over-stimulation from constant activity and sensory input can be exhausting. Additionally, crowded places can pose health risks, particularly in times of pandemics. These factors combined make crowded places unappealing for many individuals. 

2.2. Đề 2

• Describe the picture

Looking at this picture I see a woman and his child. They are wearing basic clothes and they know how to combine clothes to create the most beautiful outfits. It looks like they were having breakfast and they looked very close so I guess they were family. This painting is very beautiful and I think it was taken by a professional.

• What do you usually eat for breakfast?

For breakfast, I usually go for something quick but filling. A typical morning might start with toast topped with peanut butter and banana, or sometimes a bowl of oatmeal with some fruit and nuts. If I’m in a hurry, a smoothie with spinach, berries, and protein powder is my go-to. I try to get a mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs to energize. 

• Is it important to eat a good breakfast? Why?

As for whether it’s important to eat a good breakfast. I’d say absolutely! It’s one of the best ways to jumpstart your day. Breakfast helps replenish the body’s energy stores after hours of sleep, and it gives you the fuel you need to focus and be productive, especially in the morning. It also helps regulate your metabolism and keeps you from feeling super hungry later, which can lead to overeating or making less healthy choices. A solid breakfast can really set the tone for the rest of the day.

2.3. Đề 3

• Describe the picture

Looking at this picture I see a woman and a girl. They are reading a book and you can see they are dressed quite stylishly. They looked quite intimate so I guess they were family. Looking at the background, it can be seen that they are sitting on the sofa in the living room so I guess they are at home. In addition, on the left of the picture, there is a bookshelf that looks very beautiful. It reminds me of a memory I had in the past with my mother. This picture is very beautiful, I think it was taken by a professional photographer. 

• Why is it important to play with children?

Playing with children is very important. It helps them learn new things and develop their minds. When you play with children, they feel loved and happy. It also helps them to be active and healthy. Playing together can teach children how to share and work with others. It builds strong bonds between you and the children. Playtime is also a great way to see the world from their perspective and understand their feelings better. Overall, playing with children is fun and helps them grow in many good ways. 

• How should parents spend time together with their children?

Parents should spend time with their children by doing simple activities. They can play games, read books, and go for walks together. Sharing meals and talking about their day is also important. These activities help build strong bonds and make children feel loved. Playing outside, like in the park or garden, is fun and helps children stay active. It's important for parents to listen and talk with their children. This time together is valuable for both learning and enjoying each other's company. 

2.4. Đề 4

• Describe this picture. 

In this picture, I can see a woman who is shopping for food at the supermarket. She has a lot of fruit in her trolley, such as oranges, pineapples and some vegetables, and a bottle of water too. She is taking bread now to add. On the mid-right, I see that there is another girl who is also busy with shopping. 

• Tell me about a time that you went to a supermarket.

I usually go to the supermarket once a week. I like to go to a smaller one nearby my house because it is convenient. However, last week I went to a huge grocery store named BIG C supermarket in Tran Duy Hung street and I was impressed that they had many more products. It was my first time and I really enjoyed shopping there. I was with my best friend and we bought a variety of items, including fresh fruits, snacks, and a few household essentials. 

• Do you think that it is better to shop in one big store, or in several smaller stores? 

Although shopping in one big store is usually more convenient, I think it can be expensive. When you go to a few smaller stores you can get better prices. It really depends on the place you live in and things that you are shopping for. For example, in my hometown, many people prefer to shop at smaller stores because they are closer to their homes and often have a more personalized service.

2.5. Đề 5:

• What can you see in this photograph? 

What this looks like to me is a classroom and from the people in it, I guess that it’s a language class. There are about 14 students sitting at a desk and in the background, there is what must be a teacher. The teacher is pointing to something and the students are looking. On the desks I can see that most students have files or notebooks and in the corner of the room, there’s a bookshelf filled with textbooks and reference materials. The atmosphere in the classroom is focused and lively, with each student showing interest in the lesson.  

• What are the advantages of learning in a class? 

I think that the biggest advantage is that there is personal feedback straight away. What I’m saying is that when you’re in a class your teacher can help you if you make a mistake, whereas online, you have to wait, and this could be a problem. Another advantage is with motivation. Some people need the atmosphere of a classroom to help them concentrate and when you're sitting at home with just you and your laptop, or whatever, it’s easy to get distracted. For me, learning in a class is much better.  

• Do you think online teaching will replace classroom learning?  

Yes, I think that’s going to happen especially if there are more pandemics. Despite that in my opinion, online learning is too effective not to replace the classroom. First, it’s convenient. You only have to have a connection and you can learn anywhere and this makes it very environmentally friendly too. Therefore, no one has to travel to a school, so no energy is used for transportation. Next, all the materials are digital and that means no paper - no books etcetera. In my opinion, the sooner learning goes online, the better.
