VSTEP Speaking Mock Test 03

Yes, I like walking, especially in the evening when the weather is cooler. I usually walk around my neighborhood or in a park near my house. Walking is not too tiring, but it is still a good form of exercise. I often walk when I need to relax or when I want to clear my mind after studying. I think walking is important because it improves health, reduces stress, and does not require any special equipment. It is also suitable for people of different ages, so almost everyone can do it.

I try to have a healthy diet, but I cannot say it is perfect. I usually eat rice, vegetables, meat, and soup at home. At school or at work, I often choose simple meals such as rice with chicken, noodles, or a sandwich. I also try to drink enough water and avoid eating too many snacks. In my opinion, fast food is one of the most unhealthy kinds of food because it often contains a lot of oil, salt, and sugar. However, I think it is still acceptable to eat it sometimes, as long as we do not eat it too often.

I think a book would be the best birthday gift for my friend. First, a book is meaningful and can last for a long time. If I choose a book that matches my friend’s interests, such as a novel, a self-development book, or an English book, it can be both enjoyable and useful. A music show ticket is exciting, but it may not be suitable if my friend is busy on that day or does not really like the singer. A shopping coupon is practical, but it may feel less personal because it does not show much thought. In contrast, choosing a book requires me to think carefully about my friend’s personality and hobbies. Another reason is that reading can help my friend relax and learn something new. I could also write a short message inside the book to make the gift more special. Therefore, I believe a book is the most thoughtful and suitable choice.

I believe cheap air travel should be promoted because it brings many benefits to people and the economy. First, it offers a flexible travelling mode. With more low-cost flights, people can travel more easily for study, work, or holidays. They can also choose different flight times and destinations depending on their needs. Second, cheap air travel reduces travelling costs. This is especially helpful for students, young workers, and families who do not have a large budget. When air tickets are affordable, more people have the chance to visit different places and experience new cultures. Third, cheap air travel can create business opportunities. It helps tourism develop because more visitors can come to a city or a country. Hotels, restaurants, shops, and local services may also benefit from the growth of travel. However, there are some problems with low-cost air travel, such as extra fees, limited luggage, and possible delays. Because of this, airlines should be clear about their prices and services. In my opinion, cheap air tickets should be offered on both domestic and international flights, as long as safety and service quality are still guaranteed.
