favorite subject, so I was very excited when I got the opportunity to participate in
this contest.
To achieve this, I spent months preparing. I practiced solving difficult math
problems every day, studied past exam papers, and attended extra classes with my
teacher. I also joined a study group where my friends and I helped each other
improve.
As a result of my hard work, I won third place in the contest and received a

One of the most memorable trips I have ever taken was a family trip to the
beach. It was last summer, and my parents decided to take us to a beautiful beach
for a short vacation. I was very excited because I love the sea.
We traveled by car because it was the most convenient way for our family.
The trip took about five hours, and we enjoyed the journey by listening to music
and talking to each other. Although the ride was long, I did not feel bored because I
was with my family.
I went with my parents and my brother. We had a wonderful time together.
The best part of the trip was swimming in the sea and playing on the beach. The
water was clear and cool, and the sand was soft. We also built sandcastles and
collected seashells. In the evening, we ate delicious seafood at a local restaurant.
The food was fresh and tasty.
However, there were some small problems. The weather was very hot, and I got
sunburned after staying in the sun for too long. Also, the beach was quite crowded,
so we had to wait for a long time at some places. But these were just small issues,
and they did not ruin our trip.
I remember this trip so well because it was a rare chance for my family to spend
time together. We were all busy with school and work, so this vacation brought us
closer. It was a happy and relaxing experience that I will never forget.

I would like to talk about visiting Thu Le Park. I went there about a year ago with
my friends because I heard it was a nice place to relax and see some interesting
animals.
The park is really beautiful and peaceful. It has a lake in the middle, surrounded
(around) by lots of trees and green spaces. There is also a zoo inside the park with
different kinds of animals.
At the time, the zoo was very large and divided into different sections. There were
small forested areas for tigers, a big yard for elephants and large lake for
crocodiles.
When I visited, I spent a lot of time walking around, enjoying the animals, took
many photos and even fed the elephants
But the animals I found most interesting was the tigers. It looks very powerful and
wild. I had to say wow because it was the first time I had seen this majestic animal
that I had only seen on TV before. Occasionally, the tiger would growl to show its
power.
For me, it was a fun visit. It was a memory I will always cherish.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the City
Living in the city has both benefits and challenges. One of the biggest advantages
is the availability of job opportunities. Cities have many companies, industries, and
businesses that offer various career options. Moreover, education is more
accessible, with many schools, universities, and training centers. Another benefit is
healthcare, as cities have well-equipped hospitals and specialized doctors. In
addition, public transportation is convenient, making it easy to travel without a
personal vehicle. The city also provides entertainment, such as shopping malls,
restaurants, cinemas, and cultural events. Furthermore, the diversity of people in
cities allows for cultural exchange and new experiences.
However, city life also has disadvantages. The cost of living is high, with
expensive housing, food, and services. Additionally, cities are often crowded,
leading to traffic congestion and a lack of personal space. Pollution is another
major issue, as air, noise, and waste pollution affect health and quality of life.
Crime rates can be higher in some areas, making safety a concern. Moreover, the
fast-paced lifestyle can cause stress and mental fatigue. Limited green spaces make
it difficult to enjoy nature, and despite being surrounded by people, some
individuals may feel lonely.
In conclusion, living in the city offers many conveniences and opportunities but
also comes with challenges. Whether city life is suitable depends on an individual’s
preferences and lifestyle
Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the Countryside
Living in the countryside has both benefits and drawbacks. One of the biggest
advantages is the fresh air and clean environment. Unlike cities, rural areas have
less pollution, which improves health and well-being. Additionally, the countryside
offers a peaceful and quiet lifestyle, reducing stress and allowing people to enjoy
nature. Another benefit is the lower cost of living, as housing, food, and services
are generally cheaper than in the city. Moreover, rural communities are often close-
knit, and people tend to be friendlier and more supportive. The countryside also
provides more space for outdoor activities such as farming, gardening, and hiking.
However, there are also some disadvantages to rural life. One of the main
challenges is the lack of job opportunities, as most businesses and industries are
located in cities. Education and healthcare services are also limited, with fewer
schools, universities, and hospitals available. Additionally, public transportation is
not as developed, making it necessary to own a car. The countryside may also lack
entertainment and modern conveniences, such as shopping malls, cinemas, and
cultural events. Furthermore, rural areas can sometimes feel isolated, especially for
young people who seek a more active social life.
In conclusion, living in the countryside offers a healthier and more relaxed lifestyle
but comes with fewer job opportunities and services. The choice between city and
rural life depends on personal preferences and priorities.
Kept zoo
These days, many animals, including rare and endangered ones, are kept in zoos.
Some people believe zoos are helpful, while others think they are bad for animals.
This essay will look at both the advantages and disadvantages of keeping animals
in zoos.
One advantage is that zoos protect animals from danger. In the wild, animals may
be hunted or lose their homes because of humans. Zoos give animals a safe place
to live and help endangered animals to survive. Another benefit is that zoos help
people learn about animals. Children and adults can see animals closely and
understand more about nature. Also, scientists can study animals in zoos and find
ways to protect them better in the wild.
However, there are also some disadvantages. Many animals in zoos do not have
enough space to move and live like they do in the wild. This can make them
unhappy or sick. Some animals may become bored or stressed because they cannot
do what they usually do in nature. In some zoos, animals are not treated well and
are kept only to make money.
In conclusion, zoos can help protect animals and teach people about wildlife. But
they can also be harmful if animals are not kept in good conditions. I believe that
zoos should only exist if they really care for the animals and try to help them live
healthy lives.
No children
In many western countries, more and more couples are choosing not to have
children. This decision can bring both advantages and disadvantages. In this essay,
I will discuss both sides of the issue.
One of the biggest advantages of not having children is freedom. Couples without
children often have more time for themselves. They can travel, focus on their
careers, or enjoy hobbies. Also, they usually have less stress at home because they
don’t need to worry about raising kids. Financially, couples without children can
save more money. Raising a child is expensive, so not having one helps them live
more comfortably.
However, there are also some disadvantages. First, many people who do not have
children may feel lonely when they get older. Children often take care of their
parents in old age, so couples without kids may lack support in the future. Also,
some couples may regret their decision later in life when it is too late to have
children. Having a child can also bring happiness and meaning to life, which some
people may miss.
In conclusion, there are both positive and negative sides to the choice of not having
children. It can give couples more freedom and money, but it may also lead to
loneliness or regret. In my opinion, it depends on each couple’s values and
lifestyle. If they are happy with their decision and live a meaningful life, then it can
still be a good choice.
