6.10. Describe an English class you enjoy 
You should say 
When it was 
How it was 
And explain why you enjoyed this class 
I am going to talk about a lesson in English that I enjoyed when I was still in high school. I had missed 
several lessons before that due to my absence, which stemmed from sickness, so I was falling behind with 
231 
my studies. Therefore, my uncle, who is an online English tutor, offered me a lesson to help me catch up. 
Although I was a bit set in my ways, and I had doubts about this comparatively new teaching method, the 
lesson went amazingly well. We communicated by means of an online video call and he gave me 
instructions and studying materials via email. As I was missing out on quite a few inclass lessons, my 
online class had to cover a lot of ground. I had to learn many new words for the topic “Politics”, which 
was quite exhausting for me because I did not have any interest in such matters. Then we went on to 
revise ‘inversion’, which is also a tricky grammatical point. However, as it was a private tutor lesson, my 
uncle had tailored his teaching style to suit my ability to take in information. Knowing that I would get 
bored easily, he integrated a lot of visual aids and discussion into the lesson to keep my attention. At the 
end of the lesson, he gave me a short quiz to ensure that I had a good grasp ofwhat I had just learnt. The 
thing that fascinated me most was the level of interactive learning that I experienced in my online lesson. 
It is commonly believed that online learning hinders the interaction between teacher and students, but I 
think that such an attitude is behind the times.When studying online, I feel more relaxed, which enables 
me to participate more actively in discussions and activities with my teacher. Moreover, with the 
advantage of time and cost saving, I think online lessons actually surpass face-to-face learning in 
efficiency.

Part 3 
1. Are you learning a foreign language? Why? 
Yes, I am learning English. In practical terms, learning a foreign language helps to broaden your 
opportunity to become a global citizen. Without knowing at least one foreign language, you cannot 
communicate with other people around the world. 
2. Do you want to become a foreign language teacher in the future? Why? 
Yes, if I could. Being a foreign language teacher, I could help others assimilate knowledge of a foreign 
language in an effective way. 
3. Why do some people learn quickly while others are slow? 
I think it depends on our nature. Some people are innately good at languages while others find it much 
harder to master a new language. 
4. Do you think grammar is important when you learn a foreign language? Why? 
Well, it is quite important because grammar is the foundationof all languages. However, the way you 
apply grammar into daily conversation is just as crucial. 
5. Why are there strong demands for language skills? 
You have to see the big picture. I think there are strong demands for language skills nowadays mainly 
because of business. English, for example, has become the universal language of commerce and the 
tourism industry. 
6. Do you think foreigners should learn Vietnamese when they arrive at Vietnam? 
I think they should learn some basic sentences to prevent misunderstanding when travelling in Vietnam. It 
will be more enjoyable if you know how to ask the locals about things in their country and it will break 
down some of the language barriers if you learn a few phrases simply to get by. 
7. What kind of qualities should a language teacher have? 
235 
In addition to linguistic ability and the ability to speak fluently in the language they are teaching, teachers 
must be patient and dedicated to the needs of their students. 
8. Why do people want to learn a foreign language? 
As a matter of fact, acquiring a foreign language will be really beneficial for their education or future 
career. Moreover, we all need to communicate and travel to other places.
