VSTEP Speaking July Speaking Test 03

Yes, I try to save money every month, even though the amount is sometimes quite small. I usually set aside part of my allowance or salary before spending on other things. Saving money is important because it helps me prepare for emergencies and future plans, such as travelling or taking a course. I also avoid buying unnecessary items and compare prices before making a purchase. In my opinion, developing this habit early can help people become more responsible and less worried about financial problems.

I usually spend money on food, transport, study materials, and entertainment. Before buying something expensive, I often think carefully and ask myself whether I really need it. I prefer spending money on useful things or meaningful experiences, such as travelling with friends, rather than following every new trend. Online shopping is convenient, but it can also encourage people to buy too much because products and discounts are always available. Therefore, I try to make a simple budget and control my spending each week.

I would choose to hold the graduation ceremony at the school because it is meaningful, convenient, and less expensive. Students have spent many years studying there, so celebrating in a familiar place would bring back special memories. It would also be easier for teachers, students, and families to attend because they already know the location. Holding the event in a large city might be exciting, but travelling and accommodation could be costly for some families. A large event hall would offer more space and professional facilities, but renting it might require a high budget. Therefore, the school is the best option because it is affordable, practical, and emotionally connected to the students’ school life.

In my opinion, good behavior is essential because it helps people live and work together peacefully. First, everyone should respect others by speaking politely, listening carefully, and avoiding actions that may cause discomfort. Children should learn simple behaviors such as saying “please” and “thank you,” waiting for their turn, helping older people, and admitting their mistakes. These habits usually begin at home, but schools should also teach them through classroom rules, teamwork, and teachers’ examples. Second, people need to follow rules in public places. For example, they should keep quiet in hospitals, avoid dropping litter, stand in line, and respect traffic regulations. Some people behave badly because they were not taught properly, feel stressed, or believe that nobody will punish them. However, their actions can negatively affect the whole community. Finally, good behavior can influence others. When adults act responsibly, children are more likely to copy them. Schools can improve students’ behavior by rewarding positive actions, discussing real situations, and working closely with parents. Therefore, families, schools, and society should cooperate to encourage respectful and responsible behavior.
