TOPICS SPEAKING FOR GRADE 8- THE FIRST SEMESTER
TOPIC 1 LEISURE ACTIVITY
Talk about one leisure activity that you often do in your free time 
(Nói về 1 hoạt động trong thời gian rảnh rỗi của em)
Reading book is one of my leisure activities. It is both interesting and useful. I can get knowledge of all areas that I need and relax after school. Whenever I have free time, I read books. I like many kinds of book such as novels, comic stories and science books. I really fancy reading science books which my father gave me on my 12th birthday. It helps me know more about the world where I live. In short, reading books not only helps me become smarter but also brings me happiness.
TOPIC 2: LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
What do you like about the countryside? What don’t you like about the countryside?
The first thing I like about the countryside is the relaxed pace of life. I often go there for some peace and quietness. I sleep well when I stay in the countryside. Another thing is the beautiful landscapes as well as peaceful hills and forests. I love admiring them. This makes me feel less stressed. I often take a lot of pictures of rural landscapes. However, you don’t have easy access to shops. When you want to buy something, it takes a lot of time because shops are far away. Besides, there’s almost nothing to do at night. No nightclubs, no bars and no amusement parks.
Talk about the advantages of living in the countryside?
In my opinion, life in the countryside has many advantages. Firstly, village people are more friendly than city folks. Village people build their personal relationship with all people and often take care of each other. Secondly, village people live much nearer to the nature and breathe in the fresh air, as well as eat fresh foods, vegetables, fruits collected directly from the garden. Finally, there are lots of traditional activities that they can do in the countryside such as fishing, swimming in the river or kite-flying. For these reasons, I prefer living in the countryside.
How has your countryside changed? Are these changes positive or negative?
My hometown has changed a lot. Firstly, the local people have different appearance with fashionable clothes. Secondly, many of them now have cell phones and motorbikes or even cars. They are living in modern brick houses. Besides, the Internet is very popular among the residents and they use it for learning, making new friends and playing games. They feel really pleased and satisfied about these changes.
TOPIC 3: PEOPLES OF VIETNAM& OUR CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
Talk about your cultural group in Vietnam 
(Nói về nhóm dân tộc của bạn ở Việt Nam)
The Kinh, also called The Viet people, is the majority ethnic group of Vietnam, comprising about 86% of the population. The Kinh people settle along the whole Vietnam. Vietnamese is the native language of the Kinh people, as well as the first or second language for many ethnic minorities of Vietnam. Rice cultivation is the main economic activity of the Kinh. They also raise cattle and poultry. They often celebrate a lot of festivals during the year. They have the traditional costumes such as Ao Dai and Ao Ba Ba.
TOPIC 5: FESTIVALS IN VIETNAM
I like the Hung King Temple festivals a lot. It is held in PhuTho province from the 8th to 11th of the third lunar month every year. It commemorates and worships the Hung Kings who are the founders and also the first emperors of the nation. It’s impressive because there is a procession from the foot of Nghia Linh mountain to the High Temple on the top of the mountain. While you are there, you can attend a ceremony of offering incense and specialities to the Hung Kings. Moreover, there are also some great activities such as bamboo swings, lion dances, wrestling and xoan singing performances. I like this festival because it makes me love our ancestors. I also like it because there are a lot of great activity.
