VSTEP Speaking Đề Thi HCMUE 26/7

I live in a small family with my parents and one younger brother. The person I am closest to is my mother because she listens to me and gives me useful advice. Although everyone is busy, we try to have dinner together several times a week. At weekends, we sometimes visit our grandparents, watch a film, or go out for a meal. These activities help us communicate better and maintain a strong relationship.

My favourite outdoor activity is cycling because it is enjoyable and good for my health. I usually cycle in a nearby park once or twice a week, especially in the early morning. Sometimes I go with a friend, which makes the activity more interesting. Outdoor activities help me stay active, reduce stress, and spend less time using electronic devices. I think everyone should choose a simple outdoor activity that suits their schedule.

I think a good working environment should be the most important factor when my friend chooses a first job after graduation. As a new employee, my friend will need helpful colleagues, clear guidance, and opportunities to learn from experienced people. A positive workplace can also reduce stress and help employees become more confident. A high salary is attractive, but the job may involve heavy pressure or unsuitable duties. Good promotion opportunities are also important, although promotion usually depends on performance and takes time. Therefore, I would recommend choosing a supportive working environment first because it creates a strong foundation for a long-term career.

Eating out brings several benefits to individuals and families. First, it saves time because people do not need to shop for ingredients, cook, or wash dishes. This is especially useful for busy workers and students. Second, restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes, so customers can try food from different regions and cultures. They can also choose a restaurant that suits their budget and preferences. Third, eating out is a social activity because families and friends can talk, celebrate special occasions, and enjoy time together. However, people should not eat out too often because some restaurant food contains too much salt, sugar, or fat. I usually eat out once or twice a week, mainly when meeting friends or when my family is busy. Although it costs more than cooking at home, many people choose restaurants for convenience, variety, and atmosphere. Overall, eating out is enjoyable when it is balanced with healthy home-cooked meals.
