Topic 1: Talk about a problem that you have had at school or at home.
Everyone has had a problem and I am not an exception. I suffered from the pressure and stress of learning. I was not good at English, actually, my latest English test grade was not good. My parents were disappointed in me. I felt so sad and had negative thinking about myself. I think the reason maybe lack of motivation. Luckily, I got some advice from my best friend. He is very good at English. First, in English classes, I should pay attention to what the teacher said and remember its content, then practice. I can ask him to practise speaking English, also the teachers. Second, maybe I could find a tutor to teach me at home or go to an English center. Last, I should try to study harder. I ought to rewrite and remember new words and grammar whenever I have free time. Finally, my grades were better thanks to my best friend as well as my effort.

4. Hobbies
My favourite hobby is reading. I enjoy reading a book when I am free. I started to do it when I was four years old. The first time I did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. The teachers always taught me to read the difficult words. I was happy when I read a story with a happy ending. I was thrilled when I read a detective story. I enjoy reading because I like to explore the imaginative world of my favourite author, J.K.Rowling who writes “ Harry Potter” . There are a lot of advantages of reading. Reading can make me relaxed and calm. I can also learn new vocabulary items. Then I can further improve my English. Moreover, it can give me an unlimited imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures and customs of other countries in the world too. I read at least one hour every day. I read books by myself. I usually read it at home. I wish I could read different kinds of books because it might be very challenging.
Talk about your house
The house we are living in is situated in the suburb of HCM city, within thirty minutes’ drive off the central city. We have lived there for more than twenty years. This is a fairly large house surrounded with a luxuriant garden.My house consists of four bed-rooms, a living-room, a bathroom with a shower, a dinning-room, a kitchen and a toilet. It is air-conditioned and well-furnished. The living-room is decorated beautifully. Paintings by famous artists are hung on the walls. At night, the color neon lights increase the beauty and coziness of the room. There, on Sundays and holidays my father usually spends his time playing chess or drinking tea with his friends. My mother and my two sisters are diligent and hard-working women. They often keep the house clean and tidy.
On suffocating days of summer, we usually take meals in the garden. It is fairly cool and quiet here. We enjoy our meals amid the melodious twitters of birds. On stormy and rainy nights all whole family members gather in the living-room, watching television or telling each other about their daily activities.
I love my house very much because it is the place where I was born and have grown up in the education of my father and in the tender loving care of my mother. I have spent my whole childhood in the love and affection of my dear ones with so many sweet memories.
Talk about your school
There is a white three-storey building, surrounded by greenery, located at Simei Town Central. That is Simei Primary School. That is also the place where I have schooled for the last five years or so.My school uniform is white. The boys wear a white shirt and white shorts while the girls wear a white blouse and skirt. The uniform must always be worn with the school badge which bears our school motto “Nothing without labor”. It means that we must be willing to work to get our reward. We are also taught to be honest and polite all the time.
Most of the teachers in my school are just and kind. However, there are some teachers who show favoritism. As a result, the students who are favored by these teachers are very proud and like to bully the others. In general, however, we all treat one another like siblings and live in harmony.
I am sad that I will have to leave my school at the end of this year. It has given me knowledge, friends and happy moments. I will always remember my school and the fond memories it holds.
Vietnam is a country in Southeast Asia. Although this is a small country but Vietnam still has many things that attract tourists. Vietnam has tropical climate with differently complex seasons in two parts of the country. It has 54 ethnic groups and diverse cultures. Vietnam is known for many beautiful landscapes especially mountains, beaches, caves and even rice fields. Cuisine is also a highlight when talking about Vietnam.

Parents: Help Your Teen Be More Independent
Independence is exciting for teens, and most of them are itching to do whatever they want. As adults, we have learned that independence is more like a double-edged sword of freedom and responsibility. Here’s how you can guide your high schooler to being successfully independent.
Why Should Your Teen Be Independent
Many students (including high-achieving students) love the freedom they experience in college and they respond by letting it completely overtake them. Some students sober up when the first round of exam scores come out and their grades aren’t what they’re used to, but for others it takes poor performance in their first semester before they realize they need to figure out a better solution. If your child learns how to be independent in high school, they’ll be better equipped to balance both exhilarating freedom and mundane responsibility.
However, so many freshmen students enter college without having been responsible for themselves. They are used to their parents taking care of their problems, setting their schedules, hounding them to study, and they flounder without the external support. Independence helps your student develop an internal reserve to take on life’s challenges.
We hope you want your child to be able to take care of themselves to the best of their ability. If your teen currently relies on you to do everything for them (or to tell them what to do) then they might be too dependent on you. If they are, we have a few ideas for how they can gradually develop more independence later on in this post.
Your Teen’s Independence and College
Independence extends to all realms of life, and helping your teenager learn some level of independence will help them in areas beyond just college. After all, college is a relatively small part of a person’s life, and it would be wrong to say that independence only matters in college.
That said, helping your higher schooler develop independence early in life will give them a huge advantage over other students when it comes to college applications and being in college. When your teen is independent, they will take the initiative in shaping their life, such as finding and pursuing extracurricular opportunities that they are genuinely excited about, researching and developing a strong school list, and keeping track of application requirements.
For a very concrete example of why your high schooler should have some basic level of independence, let me tell you about FERPA, or the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act. FERPA protects student privacy, and a significant change occurs the instant your child applies to college: you will not have access to their college record.
I explain FERPA to parents almost as often as I explain admissions requirements. Your child’s college application is protected by FERPA; parents are considered “third parties,” which means that information about the application—such as making sure that it’s complete, or that the admissions office received updated materials—can only be given to the applicant.
Once your student enrolls in any college, all of their records are protected by FERPA. If your student is struggling or if there are any issues with their degree requirements or financial aid, all communication will go to your student. This means that your teen should be responsible enough to check their email(s) and phone and be proactive enough to schedule appointments and follow-up on any issues they may have.
Independence will also help your teen adjust to life in a new place, make new friends, and seek out opportunities while in college. If you don’t feel that your child is ready for this level of independence, then the best thing you can do is gradually give them greater independence while in high school. It’s better to let them make small mistakes while you can still guide them and correct their approach.

Rather than expecting your child to suddenly take care of everything on their own, it’s better to do it gradually. Here are a few strategies you can try.
Let them decide
Whether it’s how to spend their time or their money, giving your child control over a portion of their life will help both of you in the long run. As long as their decisions aren’t harmful, honor their decisions and let them go with it.
If you aren’t ready to let them make a lot of decisions, try this exercise: instead of telling them they need to do something right now, ask them to complete a task (it can be a chore like cleaning their room) and they have the weekend to do it. They might procrastinate until Sunday night to clean their room, but they might surprise you by “getting it over with” so they can enjoy their weekend! Either way, letting them decide when to do something is a good first step.
Show them the ropes
Many schools have some sort of peer-mentoring program to help freshmen acclimate to college. I did this as a senior and told a group of freshmen that they could ask me anything. After the meeting was over, one of the freshmen asked me, in private, if I could explain how to do laundry.
If your student doesn’t know how to do cook or clean, you can start by showing your student how to do these tasks, and once they’ve got the hang of it you can set expectations about when they’ll do it. Knowing how to navigate a laundromat, boil water for rice or pasta, find things in a grocery store—this can be foreign territory for students. Pick a few to teach your student, and supervise them until they’ve got the hang of it before picking other skills to share with them.
Practice failure
It would be nice if we could go through life being perfect shining successes, but we have all made mistakes and likely will continue to. Your child is no different, and being able to bounce back after disappointment will do more for them than trying to take responsibility to “fix” their problems for them.
To practice failure “safely,” encourage your child to pursue something new or something they care about. (For bonus points, let them decide what they want to pursue.) They may find they don’t like an activity, and you can teach them that it’s good to try new things and if they don’t end up liking it, they can always stop. If there is something they’re already involved in, see if you can research (together!) opportunities like advanced classes, community seminars, or competitions.
The point isn’t to achieve a particular result, but to show your student that they should pursue their interests and that experiencing setbacks is normal. This will benefit them in college when they’re likely to apply for more opportunities and join clubs.
Challenges of Increasing Independence
If you got to this point and have been thinking, “This makes sense but it sounds terrifying,” then you’re not alone. Giving your child greater independence as they mature is one of the biggest challenges that you face as a parent. There is no one solution that will fit every parent-child relationship, but we hope we’ve given you some ideas for how you can start.
Many parents want their children to be safe and happy. In order to accomplish the first, some parents want to stay in control of their children’s lives, planning their days, taking care of any problems, even deciding where their child should go to college and what they should study. When taken to the extreme, you may end up sacrificing your child’s happiness.
As intimidating as it may be, if you want your child to experience greater life satisfaction, then it’s important that you let them have control over their lives. While they are in high school, you don’t have to give up all control, but if you guide your child to independence, they will thank you when they adjust to college more gracefully than their peers.
Another way that you can learn how to give up control is to build a network of support that you trust. When you work with CollegeVine, we match your child with a college student from a top institution, and they get a personalized high school roadmap that helps them achieve their goals.

Our health is the only thing we really have in the world. You can take away our money, our house, or our clothes and we can survive. Take away our health and we will die. That is why I eat healthfully, exercise regularly, and keep up my social life.
Eating healthfully is important to maintain one's health. I try to avoid foods high in fat like French fries or cookies. I also try to limit the amount of animal protein I consume. I never eat more than a few ounces offish or chicken a day and I rarely eat meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of fiber and vitamins. It is important to know how to cook these foods so the nutrients are not lost in the cooking process.
Your muscles must continue to be strong to support your body as it grows older. Exercise helps the bones build density and helps you maintain your posture. A regular exercise program of cardiovascular training and weight training is an important part of keeping you healthy.
Friends are an important part of one's health. Studies have shown that people with a wide range of social contacts get fewer colds and have fewer complaints than those who don't. Laughing is also an important part of health. Hike to laugh with my friends and I always feel better when I am with them than when I am alone.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at an appropriate weight and can maintain my health. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. It's all apart of my recipe for healthful living.
