VSTEP Speaking Đề Thi HCMUE 26/9 (1)

1) I like joining volunteer and sports activities at school. Volunteer programs allow me to meet different people and do something useful, while sports help me stay active and reduce stress. 2) I usually join school activities after class or at weekends. These times are convenient because I do not have to worry about missing lessons. For example, my school sometimes organizes a Saturday clean-up or charity event. 3) The activity I join most often is badminton. I usually play with classmates once or twice a week. It is simple, inexpensive, and it gives us a chance to exercise and talk after studying.

1) In my free time, I usually listen to music, watch short videos, or meet a close friend for coffee. These activities help me relax after studying. 2) I prefer spending some of my free time with friends because we can talk and share what has happened during the week. However, I also need some time alone to rest. 3) At weekends, I often go for a walk or play badminton. For example, on Sunday afternoon I may play for about an hour and then have a drink with my friends. It is a simple way to stay healthy and enjoy my free time.

I would report the transfer to the bank. The bank can check where the money came from, contact the sender, and reverse the transaction safely. This is the most direct and responsible solution because the money does not belong to me. Keeping silent would be a bad choice. Even if I did not spend the money, the sender could be worried and the bank might later investigate the transaction. Using the money could also create legal and ethical problems. Reporting it to the police may be necessary if there are signs of fraud or if the bank cannot solve the issue, but for a simple mistaken transfer, the bank should be the first place to contact. Therefore, I would notify the bank immediately and keep all transaction records until the problem is resolved.

Main response: Spending a holiday at home can be a very good choice. First, it is often safer because people avoid long journeys, crowded tourist attractions, and unexpected travel problems. This can be especially useful for families with small children or elderly people. Second, a holiday at home is less expensive. People do not need to pay for flights, hotels, or expensive restaurant meals. The money saved can be used for other priorities. Third, staying at home can be genuinely relaxing. People can sleep more, watch films, cook, read, exercise, or spend time with family without following a busy travel schedule. Follow-up 1: People can have a movie night, cook a special meal, play games, read, exercise, or visit a nearby park. Follow-up 2: Families with young children, older people, and anyone who feels tired or wants to save money may benefit most. Follow-up 3: I enjoy travelling when I have enough time and money, but for a short break I often prefer staying at home because it is simpler and more restful.
