Describe an activity that makes you feel healthy. (Mô tả một hoạt động làm cho bạn cảm thấy khỏe mạnh)

Sample answer

Vocabulary

(Answer) Nowadays, people tend to be more health-concious and I am no exception. In order to keep fit, I have joined a rumba class – a type of dance, which is held three times a week in a gym near my house.

Unlike the boring time running on the treadmill, I find that dancing is more intriguing. (Reason) It helps me speed up my metabolism by burning much more calories in just an hour of intensive training. In addition, dancing builds up my flexibility as it makes many parts of my body move, such as my arms, shoulders, abs and legs. (Example) By sticking to a schedule of dancing on a regular basis and a balanced diet as suggested by my private trainer, I have managed to keep a lean body. Thanks to this, I can reduce the risk of getting chronic diseases, such as diabetes or the ones related  to our bones.

(Reason) Besides, dancing is really good for my mental health because it helps me ease the tension after a stressful day at work. (Example) You know, I can step into the class wearing comfort clothes, dancing along while listening to great music and the most important thing is that I can forget about the deadlines or competition. All in all, I think this kind of dance is a good remedy for both my physical as well as mental health.

Part 2

Describe a piece of art that you like. (Mô tả một tác phẩm nghệ thuật mà bạn yêu thích)

Sample answer

Vocabulary

(Answer) To talk about my favorite piece of artwork, I would like to pick “Young Woman with Lily” by To Ngoc Van, one of the most eminent painters of Vietnam.

(Reason) The painting is my favorite artwork as it has excellent artistic value and everytime I see it, I have a great feeling of satisfaction.  (Example) It is an oil painting of a young woman dressed in a white Ao Dai sitting next to a vase of white lilies. It was created in the early 20th century and it is considered one of the most classic artworks in the Vietnamese history of art. Fortunately, I had a chance to admire the original painting in the National Gallery. The masterpiece portrays a young woman in Ao Dai, tilting her head towards the lilies. The dominant color of the picture is white but it isn’t boring at all. The alignment of light and different shades of white mix and bring a little sadness to the picture.

(Example) Beside depicting the beauty of women wearing the traditional Ao Dai, this picture also describes the elegant pursuit of old Hanoians, which is displaying lilies. In conclusion, this painting is a great artwork which needs to be preserved and it may be a good idea that youngsters now have the chance to admire classic pieces of artwork like this.

Should children be encouraged to learn art? (Trẻ em có nên được khuyến khích học mỹ thuật hay không?)

Sample answer

Vocabulary

(Answer + Reason) Well I suppose that studying art is an excellent way to help children promote their creativity.

(Example) Literally, children observe and perceive the world around them in a different way. Each child’s opinion is unique and we can see this most clearly if we ask them to draw a certain thing. Maybe their innate talents will soon reveal and if we encourage them to think outside the box, they can have further development.
