TOPICS FOR THE ORAL TEST OF LEVEL A
1. Do you like pets? What kind of pets do you like best? Why?
Among kinds of pets, I like dogs best because of the following reasons. First, the
dog is lovely. There are many dogs which have beautiful hair. Their faces are often
very expressive. Especially you will like having a dog when you see a Japanese dog.
It is very small and very cute. Second, the dog is loyal. Dogs are really effective
gatekeepers for you every night and when you are away from home. Finally, the dog
can bring you good luck. It is said that when a strange dog comes to your house, you
may windows in the lottery. It is the reasons above that I like dogs best.
2. If you were a billionaire, what would you do?
If I were a billionaire, I would build a vocational school for street children. The
following are the reasons of my decision. First of all, street children are very poor.
They have no job, no home, very little money. Their lives are unstable in streets. In
addition, street children are helpless. They are put aside society. Their bad destinies
are always in danger. Finally, street children are the results of the mistakes of adults.
They are innocent. Therefore, they are worth of being helped to have a chance for
a better life. It is the above-mentioned things that I decide to build a vocational
school for helping street children when I become a billionaire.
3. How many seasons are there in the South of Vietnam? Which one do you
prefer? Why?
Southern Vietnam has two seasons: wet season and dry season. However, I only
like the dry season because of the reasons as follows. Firstly, in the dry season,
we can do many things very conveniently and comfortably such as going to school,
going on picnic, traveling whenever I like, while in the wet season, rains day after day
prevent us from doing many things. Secondly, the dry season is always peaceful for
our living. On the contrary, floods, storms, thunders, landslides are deadly disasters
which often come in the rainy season. Last of all, the dry season is the ideal time for
earning-for-living activities of many people, especially the poor. In the mean time,
bad phenomena of weather usually happen in the wet season, causing the life of very
many people meet difficulties.
In summary, I prefer the dry season to the wet season because of the convenient
things that I have told you.
4. Do you think the computer is a useful tool? How is it useful?
I think that computers are very useful for our life in many ways. First, computers
Giúp us work conveniently and quickly. When we enter data and orders into a
computer, we can get expected results almost immediately. Next, computers are
useful for our study. Nowadays, with a computer connecting to the internet, we can
learn a lot of things all over the world. Moreover, computers are also wonderful
means of entertainment. With media soft-wares, we can enjoy all kinds of films, plays
and music. Last of all, computers can serve as neat storages. On a computer we can
store a lot of documents and memorial photographs safely for a long time. In short,
computers have been improving our life and work better and better.
5. What’s your favorite means of transportation? Why do you like it?
My favorite means of transportation is the bicycle because of its conveniences.
First, bicycling helps you save money. To buy a car or a motorbike, you must pay
plenty of money, but you spend much less money to buy a bicycle. Also, while you
must pay for gasoline to use vehicles having engines, a bicycle requires no money
for gasoline at all. On the other hand, bicycling is good for your health. You sit
still as riding a motorbike, but with a bicycle, you surely have chances to do body
exercises regularly, keeping you healthier and healthier. Last but not least, bicycles
contribute to protect environment. Smokes from engines pollute the air day after day;
bicycling produces no pollution, making our atmosphere fresh and clean. The abovementioned explain why I like bicycling most.
6. Do you have any problems in learning English? How do you overcome them?
When I learn English, I meet many difficulties in speaking and listening. As
for speaking skill, I can not speak English well. My tongue is stiff. There are so
many English sounds that I can’t pronounce English correctly. Besides, I have no
English language environment. These obstacles prevent me from speaking English
well. As for listening skill, I can’t listen to English well, either. Owing to my bad
English pronunciation, I can’t understand much when the others speak English to me.
Furthermore, linking words is another problem for me because I am not familiar
with it. My bad ability of speaking and listening to English makes me find it very
terrible when I encounter this subject.
However, I have got some ways to overcome difficulties in speaking and listening
to English. As for speaking, I will spend much more time to practise with my friends
and even with myself. I will drill my pronunciations and ask for my English teacher’s
advice. As for listening, I will increase my time for listening to English as well as
learn experience from other people. I am optimistic that, my speaking and listening
skills will be improved soon.
7. Tell about how to keep healthy.
There are many ways to keep our health. First, we should eat nutritious food
moderately such as meat, eggs, and vegetables. Second, we should drink nutritious
beverage such as milk, wine. Moreover, we should do morning exercises regularly.
Thanks to doing body exercises every morning, we can lower the level of cholesterol
in our bodies and make the organs in our bodies work well. In addition, we should
also keep our mind relaxed since stressed moods always negatively affect our health.
At last, we should Giúp other people in need. The more we Giúp the others, the more
we want to be healthy to enjoy the happiness and meaningfulness of our life. To sum
up, there are many ways to keep our health if we really pay attention to it
8. Where do you prefer living? city or countryside?
According to me, I prefer living to a city because it brings me many advantages.
First, big cities bring me many good educational opportunities because educational
institutions always locate in urban areas. In contrast, the countryside gives me no
chance to attend higher education. Similarly, it is always easier to find a job in a city
than in the countryside because industries and services concentrate in urban areas and
attract all kinds of laborers. Meanwhile, labor markets in the countryside develops
slowly and thus it is very difficult to apply for a job there. Moreover, big cities still
give us conveniences of the modern life. On the contrary, rural areas are slow,
backward before the progress of human civilization. All in all, the reasons that I
have told you keeps me always loving to live in big cities.

my parents give us advice, and we always chat with one another very merrily. Also,
the living-room is where we welcome visitors and guests. In my house, it is the ideal
place to receive everybody and they always feel happy and comfortable to be in
there. Moreover, the living-room is the best place to relax. It is the place that is best
equipped, so we always feel pleasant and peaceful there when we have any mental
problems. To sum up, the living room is the place that always brings us positive
things in our life.

I never forget the moment that I received the news of my passing the university

that I was going to burst into tears. My parents were also very glad. They gave
me compliments, and showed me how they were pleased about my examination
result. My relatives and my friends offered me congratulations. At that time, it
seemed that I had been the apple in everybody’s eyes. I felt very proud of my self
and everybody felt proud of me, too. That is the sweetest memory that I have
experienced in my life so far.
12. Which places in Vietnam do you think are the most interesting for visitors
from other countries
In my view, two most interesting places that visitors should come in our country
are Ha Long Bay and Phu Tu Island. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful landscape in
Northern Vietnam. That is where there are thousands of strange-shaped islands and
limestone grottoes of all sizes covering a large sea zone in the Gulf of Tonkin. The
sea there is very calm while the sky above is often clear and bright, making the whole
panorama of Ha Long Bay strangely attractive and full of poetry. Similarly, Phu Tu
Island is really a beautiful scenery of Southern Vietnam. It locates in Hon Chong
area of Kien Giang Province. There, you will see a wonder of nature: two high
masses of stone, a big one and a small one, growing from a natural pedestal on the sea
surface like a father and a son watching over the sea day and night. Phu Tu Island is
the emblem of Kien Giang Province. However, the Island of Phu has been collapsed
recently due to a sudden weather incident and the authorities of Kien Giang Province
are planning to restore it as it used to be. Subjectively speaking, the two sites that I
have told you are the best to visit in this country.
13. How do you spend your weekends?
At weekends, I often spend time for my favorite activities. On Saturday evening,
I often go watching films in a café alone or with some of my friends. If I don’t
watch films, I play cards with my roommates and chat about all things that we can
imagine and go to bed very late. On Sunday morning, I also get up late to relax
since my busy study from Monday through Friday always makes me tired. Besides,
at weekends, I often buy delicious food to enjoy and to nourish my body. On Sunday
afternoon, I do nothing but relax and listen to music or watch TV. Every once
a month, I return to my homeland to visit my parents, my brothers and sisters,
my relatives and to ask my parents for money as well. As these routines happen
repeatedly, I am always happy and pleased with weekends I have enjoyed so far.
14. Talk about your daily routine. What are you activities in a normal day?
My days are always busy and the same. My day begins very early in the
morning. I usually get up a 4.30 am. After having got up, I clear my bed, clean my
face, brush my teeth and do morning exercises. At about 5.30, I wash my dirty clothes
and take a bath. I often have breakfast at 6.30. After having had breakfast, I prepare
my books and notebooks, and go to school. I study at school from 7.00 am to 11.00
am. At noon, I get home at 11.00 and prepare for lunch. I usually finish my lunch
at 11.50 and then I rest and take a nap. In the afternoon, I often learn in the library
from 1.30 Phần mềm till 4.30 pm. After that I go to market to buy food for dinner. I usually
finish cooking for dinner at about 5.30 and have dinner until 6.00 pm. In the evening,
from 6.00 Phần mềm to 7.00 pm, I often take a rest, read newspapers, and listen to music.
From 7.00 Phần mềm to 9.30 pm, I am self-taught in the school library. I usually get to my
living-place at about 9.45. After that, I go to bed. I often sleep until 4.30 am of the
next morning when a new day of mine begins. Although my daily routine is busy, I
am very pleased with it. That’s all.
15. What do you like and dislike?
I like helping my friends because when I do something good for the others, I
receive new exhilaration, making me feel more interested and happier. First,
each Giúp that I have given to a friend brings me a lovely memory. The friend
receiving my Giúp often offers me a special attention in our friendship. Second,
helping my friends makes my life meaningful. The more I do good things for
everybody, the more I feel proud of my existence in this life. Moreover, helping
friends also means helping yourself. Everybody sees your good heart and thus it is
sure that they will not forsake you when you fall in difficulties. It is the immediate
benefits that I have told you make me fond of helping my friends.
I hate telling a lie because it brings many dangers. Firstly, telling a lie make
everybody not respect us. We know that telling a lie is not good. When we do so,
it means that we do not respect ourselves and thus other people also do not respect
us. Secondly, telling a lie negatively affects our jobs. When everybody doesn’t trust
us, it is really difficult for us to deal with partners in our business. Thirdly, telling a
lie unintentionally hurts our kin people. They are surely very shameful when other
people know that they are kin to liars like us. It is the bad effects in such a chain
that I do not like telling a lie at all.
16. Talk about your last holiday. When? Where? What? And how?
My most recent holiday is the trip to Hon Chong two months ago. That trip was
at weekends. On that Saturday morning, my friends and I departed very early by
motorbike. We rode non-stop from Long Xuyen to Rach Gia city where we stopped
for 30 minutes to relax. We spent approximately one hour to go around Rach Gia
city. At about 11.00 am, we began to head to Hon Chong. We arrived at Hon Chong
at about 3.30. On that afternoon, we rent a room in a hotel in Hon Chong to stay
overnight. From 4.30 Phần mềm to 5.30 on that same day, we went taking a sea bath. After
that, we went back to our hotel to take a bath with fresh water and have dinner. In
the evening, we ate seafood in a small restaurant by the sea and enjoyed the romantic
nightfall scenery for 2 hours. We went to bed at 10.30 Phần mềm in that night. When the
dawn of the next day came, we visited Hang Pagoda, Tu Island (which used to
be named Phu Tu Island but the Phu Island has collapsed recently due to a natural
incident). At 9.30 on Sunday morning, we left Hon Chong for home. We got back
to Long Xuyen at 4.00 Phần mềm via Vam Ray Ferry, and Tri Ton’s roads.
17. Tell about one kind of sports that you like.
I like playing badminton best because this sport is not only easy to play but
also good for health. Badminton is simple to play. You only need to have a racket
of about 60.000 dong. In a game, there are two players. These players will beat the
shuttlecock toward each other. The loser is the one that misses shuttlecock at the last
turn. On the other hand, your health can be improved from playing badminton. This
kind of sport makes our body always have to move with high frequency. Therefore,
it is very effective for you when you want to do physical exercises. It is these two
reasons that I like playing badminton very much.
18. What are your hobbies?
I like traveling very much because it not only relaxes my mind, widens my
knowledge, but also brings me many new friends. First, I always feel happy when
traveling. Enjoying beautiful scenery everywhere, though natural or man-made, is the
most effective pill to heal my mental diseases. Besides, I can learn many interesting
things from traveling. The more we travel, the more we know about the world
around us, which considerably contributes to our understandings. In addition, we
can have interesting relationships when we travel to somewhere. Sudden friendships
coming with us in our trips brings us sweet memories and warm feelings everywhere,
making us not feel lonely or strange anywhere we come and visit. Briefly speaking,
traveling is important and essential part of my life.
19. Introduce yourself and your background.
My family is an extended family, consisting of my parents, my brothers, my

at about 3.30. On that afternoon, we rent a room in a hotel in Hon Chong to stay
overnight. From 4.30 Phần mềm to 5.30 on that same day, we went taking a sea bath. After
that, we went back to our hotel to take a bath with fresh water and have dinner. In
the evening, we ate seafood in a small restaurant by the sea and enjoyed the romantic
nightfall scenery for 2 hours. We went to bed at 10.30 Phần mềm in that night. When the
dawn of the next day came, we visited Hang Pagoda, Tu Island (which used to
be named Phu Tu Island but the Phu Island has collapsed recently due to a natural
incident). At 9.30 on Sunday morning, we left Hon Chong for home. We got back
to Long Xuyen at 4.00 Phần mềm via Vam Ray Ferry, and Tri Ton’s roads.
17. Tell about one kind of sports that you like.
I like playing badminton best because this sport is not only easy to play but
also good for health. Badminton is simple to play. You only need to have a racket
of about 60.000 dong. In a game, there are two players. These players will beat the
shuttlecock toward each other. The loser is the one that misses shuttlecock at the last
turn. On the other hand, your health can be improved from playing badminton. This
kind of sport makes our body always have to move with high frequency. Therefore,
it is very effective for you when you want to do physical exercises. It is these two
reasons that I like playing badminton very much.
18. What are your hobbies?
I like traveling very much because it not only relaxes my mind, widens my
knowledge, but also brings me many new friends. First, I always feel happy when
traveling. Enjoying beautiful scenery everywhere, though natural or man-made, is the
most effective pill to heal my mental diseases. Besides, I can learn many interesting
things from traveling. The more we travel, the more we know about the world
around us, which considerably contributes to our understandings. In addition, we
can have interesting relationships when we travel to somewhere. Sudden friendships
coming with us in our trips brings us sweet memories and warm feelings everywhere,
making us not feel lonely or strange anywhere we come and visit. Briefly speaking,
traveling is important and essential part of my life.
