a. I was born and grown up in Hanoi- the capital of Vietnam. In my eye, Hanoi is a romantic picture with West Lake, Hoan Kiem Lake…

In the past, Ha Noi was very peace. But nowadays, it has changed too much. It’s becoming crowded and noisy. Especially, Ha Noi is developing with many big buildings, luxury villas, hotels, restaurant, shopping mall…

Ha Noi has many interesting places .When I was young, I often went to the Thu Le zoo with my parents. Now, I and my friend often go to shopping center and drink coffee.When we have free time, we ride bycicle around West lake or Hoang Dieu street .

Ha Noi’s people are very friendly and nice. Therefore I love Ha Noi so much

b. I were born and grew up in a countryside of suburb Ha Noi capital. As usual, when the first cock crows break the complete silence of the country, every activity of a new day begins: The villagers start getting up; buffalo tenders are calling each other to drive their cattle to the fields.

Smoke from the cottages is rising and spreading in the fresh air, mingling with the veil of morning mist. A few hours later, in the west, a bright, fresh and newly-bathed sun is looming gradually from the hedge of green bamboos. The dew drops on the grass and golden rice ears by the roadside are as resplendent as precious stones. Suddenly a lark flies up and sings gaily, followed by thousands of his companions. A fresh breeze comes on, the yellow rice fields begin to move and the pure air is redolent of soft fragrance. The scenery becomes livelier as groups of farmers are rushing, to their fields talking and laughing merrily, ready to resume work of a new day.

5. Your favourite sports

I’m writing to you to tell you more about my favorite sport. It’s badminton. I began playing it when I was a student. I often played with my friends after our lessons finished. We played it in the schoolyard. I enjoy playing badminton because when I play It, I feel relaxed and comfortable. It helps me keep fit and stay healthy, I can reduce stress after studying hard or working. Besides, playing badminton is easy and not expensive. We only need two rackets, a shutle, a net and a small ground. Now, when I finish my work, I often spend a little time playing it with my neighbors. I think you should try this sport and you will like it. Write to me soon and talk about your favorite sport.

6. Giving advice for keeping fit:

Keeping fit and staying healthy is very important for everyone. Now, I will give you some advice about keeping fit and staying healthy. In my oppinion there are three main points: a balance and healthy diet; physical activities and relaxing.

First, you should have a balance and healthy diet for your age. You shouldn’t eat fast foods because its is hight in fat and low in nutritional value. You know eating a lot of fat food may cause some disease such as high blood pressure or heart attack. You should’t eat too much rice and sugar too because they provide too much energy.

Instead, You should eat more vegetables and fruits to provide your body enough vitamins. You should drink water, at least two litres per day.

Second, you should do exercise or play sports. You can spend about 20 minutes doing exercise in the morning or in the evening. If you have free time, you should take up a kind of sports such as swimming, playing football or tennis. It helps you not only have good health but also relax after a hard working day. Last but not least, you should have a medical check up regularly. If you have any problems with your health, you should go to see the doctor immediately before it gets worse.

Finally, you should get some relax by listening to music, reading books, playing sport or going out with friends after a hard working day.

7. The most important inventaiton of the 20th century:

Science has made great progress since the beginning of the 20th century. To me, the most important scientific achievement is the invention of the computer.

Although it is small, a computer can do the work of thousands of people. It can give us valuable information in various fields. It helps medical doctors in diagnoses, scientists in research, businessment in manegenment and students in studies. It even guides airplanes in their flights and satellites in their orbits. Nowdays, nearly all modern machines in firms and factories are controlled by computers. In advanced countries, intelligent robots guide by micro-computers are doing the work of men, especially in industry.

Since the invention of the computer, the world’s economy has developed very quickly and human life has become better and better. We cannot imagine living in this world without the computer.
