✨Part 2: Describe a city you would like to visit for a short time.
You should say:
- what city it is
- what you would like to do there
- who you would go there with
- and explain why you would like to go there
Having spent my entire life in a bustling city, I’m eager to go somewhere off the beaten track and explore a hidden gem like Tam Ky city. Located in the central region of Vietnam, Tam Ky is one of only two cities in Quang Nam province and happens to be my father's hometown. Despite this, my family rarely visits due to our busy schedules. However, I fell in love with this city the first time I visited, and I just can't wait to have a getaway here.
Tam Ky is a small city and not as well-known as metropolises like Da Nang or Hoi An. It’s situated about a three-hour ride from Da Nang and is located near one of the most breathtaking coastlines in Vietnam. The beach here is unlike any other I have visited - the water is tranquil and warm, with no waves crashing, creating a serene atmosphere akin to an immense outdoor salty pool. The two must-try local delicacies in Tam Ky are com ga, which is turmeric rice with boiled chicken, and nem nuong, which is grilled seasoned minced pork. I’m also looking forward to exploring the natural beauty around Phu Ninh Lake, which was formed by the Phu Ninh irrigation. My grandfather even took part in its formation, making this place even more special to me.
My future trip to Tam Ky will not only be a way to connect with my roots but also an opportunity to immerse myself in the beauty of forestry and coastal areas. Ideally, I’d love to explore with my best friends and share the beauty of my hometown with them. It's a chance to experience things that a busy city would never be able to offer.

PART 3
✨What kinds of jobs are easy to get in a foreign country?
So, finding a job in a foreign country can depend on different stuff, like where you wanna go, your skills and experience, how good you are with languages, and what the job market is like over there. In my opinion, working in the healthcare sector might be comparatively more accessible in a foreign country. In some developed countries, there’s a shortage of nurses and doctors, so there’s a higher demand for such professions, and expatriates can easily be part of this field. But, of course, that's not the only option out there, it’s preferable to understand the legal requirements of the country before seeking employment there.
- Comparatively: /kəmˈpærətɪvli/ (adv) - tương đối, so với
- Expatriates: /ˌekspætriˈeɪts/ (n) - người định cư ở nước ngoài, người đi định cư
✨Should young adults work abroad?
Working abroad can offer many benefits for young adults, it just depends on whether they want to do it or not. When they work overseas, they can gain valuable work experience that may not be available in their home country. It can also offer the opportunity to expand their professional network by connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultures, while also learning new languages. And, dealing with challenges like culture shock or prejudice could be tough, but it's a chance to grow and become a more resilient person in the end.

✨ Do Vietnamese parents encourage their children to work abroad?
The fact that more Vietnamese parents are sending their children abroad for education suggests that they are increasingly open to the idea of their children pursuing studies and careers overseas. This is because working abroad can provide many career prospects, higher salaries, and opportunities for personal growth. Many parents believe that giving their children an independent life will help them succeed in the long run.

- Independent: /ˌɪndɪˈpendənt/ (adj) - độc lập, không phụ thuộc
✨If you had an opportunity to live abroad, which country would you like to settle down in?
As a home-oriented person, I prefer living somewhere near my home country so I can frequently visit my parents. Currently, I’m considering Singapore as an option. It’s only a 2-hour flight from Vietnam and is a highly developed country with excellent education systems and job opportunities. Additionally, Singapore has better air quality than Vietnam, which would benefit me greatly. Although the living costs in Singapore are high, the culture and lifestyle are similar to Vietnam, so I wouldn't experience much culture shock and would probably feel less homesick.

✨Why do some people want to go to college far away from home?

Besides, attending a college far from home offers a chance to encounter a new lifestyle, become less dependent on parental support, learn to manage their finances and time, and acquire new life skills. They can also explore things that they have never been exposed to at home and meet new people.
- Prompting: /ˈprɑːmptɪŋ/ (n) - sự thúc đẩy, sự khuyến khích
- To opt: /ɑpt/ (v) - lựa chọn, quyết định
