Bài mẫu:
I’m going to talk about a child who lived next door to me in my childhood. His name is Minh but I always called with his nickname Bi I coined for him.
When I first knew him, he was just an innocent primary school students who had just moved into my neighborhood. At that time, I was just a six grader, still so immersed in the world of cartoons and comics, so Minh and I just hit it off straight away.
After school time, we often got together and watched tons of cartoons on TV, played a lot of games like monopoly, horse racing or Uno card game. This even went further during summer as I even stayed in his house for the entire day, just sleeping, eating and playing – the true vibe of summer break.
One thing I found surprising about him was that even though he was really playful, he quickly turned into a diligent and determined person when it came to study. He expressed his fondness of learning English really soon and coincidentally, I also specialized in English so he turned to me quite a lot for help. And step by step, as he grows up, he has participated in many English competitions and achieved numerous prizes, which genuinely feel like a blessing to me.
Now that I am a university student and move to the capital, our interaction has become quite few and far between. People often quote the saying “Out of sight, out of mind” when people become poles apart but in my case, I think we still have a lot of affection for each other.

Describe a child you know. You should say:
and explain what you feel about this child.
I’m going to talk about my little brother with you today. He’s 10 now, but he’ll turn 11 next month. I’ll definitely come home and celebrate his birthday.
He used to be very naughty when he was two or three years old. He cried for hours until he got what he wanted, but now he’s much more obedient. I think maybe because he thinks that he’s not a child anymore, so he needs to behave well. But to me, he’ll always be my little brother.
He’s a good boy. He often helps my mom with some household chores, like doing dishes or cleaning his room. My dad has to work super hard on the farm; every Friday evening, my little brother usually asks him: ‘Dad, I don’t have to go to school tomorrow. Can I come with you to the farm? Maybe there’s something that I can help with’. Although he’s quite small, I feel like he understands the importance of helping others and being a good person.
Finally, he’s quite an independent child. He doesn’t need my parents to tell him what time to do homework or what time to go to bed; he does all that on his own. He even makes his own decisions when it comes to saving money. He’s given 10,000 dong per week for snacks. As soon as he’s got that money, he often sets aside 3,000 to 5,000 dong. I asked him: ‘Why do you do that?’ He said, ‘I want to buy a Lego, but I don’t want to ask mom for it. I can save money and buy it myself’. Speaking of saving money and being self-reliant, I think I need to learn a lot from my brother, even though I’m an adult now.
We haven’t seen each other for nearly two months. Oh, I miss him so much, and I know he misses me, too, because he calls me almost every day.
So, in summary, if I had to talk about a child I know, it would have to be my little brother.

Dịch:
Tôi sẽ nói về em trai tôi với bạn hôm nay. Bây giờ em ấy 10 tuổi, nhưng em ấy sẽ bước sang tuổi 11 vào tháng tới. Tôi chắc chắn sẽ về nhà và chúc mừng sinh nhật em ấy.
Em từng rất nghịch ngợm khi mới hai hoặc ba tuổi. Em khóc hàng giờ cho đến khi em có được thứ mình muốn, nhưng giờ em lại ngoan ngoãn hơn nhiều. Tôi nghĩ có lẽ bởi vì em ấy nghĩ rằng em ấy không còn là một đứa trẻ nữa, vì vậy em cần phải cư xử đúng mực. Nhưng với tôi, em sẽ luôn là một đứa em trai bé bỏng của tôi.
Em ấy là một cậu bé tốt. Em thường giúp mẹ một số việc nhà, như rửa bát đĩa hoặc dọn phòng. Bố tôi phải làm việc rất vất vả trong trang trại; Mỗi tối thứ sáu, em trai tôi thường hỏi bố: ‘Bố ơi, ngày mai con không phải đi học. Con có thể đi với bố đến trang trại không? Có thể có một thứ gì đó mà con có thể giúp. Mặc dù em ấy khá nhỏ nhưng tôi cảm thấy như em hiểu tầm quan trọng của việc giúp đỡ người khác và trở thành một người tốt.
Cuối cùng, em ấy là một đứa trẻ khá tự lập. Em không cần bố mẹ tôi nói cho em biết thời gian làm bài tập về nhà hay thời gian đi ngủ; em ấy tự làm tất cả. Em thậm chí còn tự đưa ra quyết định khi nói về vấn đề tiết kiệm tiền. Em ấy được cho 10.000 đồng mỗi tuần để ăn vặt. Ngay khi em ấy nhận được số tiền đó, em ấy thường để dành 3.000 đến 5.000 đồng. Tôi hỏi em: ‘Tại sao em lại làm thế? Em ấy nói, ‘Em muốn mua Lego, nhưng em không muốn hỏi mẹ về điều đó. Em có thể tiết kiệm tiền và tự mua nó. Nói về việc tiết kiệm tiền và tự lập, tôi nghĩ rằng tôi cần học hỏi rất nhiều từ em trai mình, mặc dù bây giờ tôi là một người trưởng thành rồi.
Chúng tôi đã không gặp nhau gần hai tháng rồi. Ồ, tôi nhớ em trai tôi rất nhiều, và tôi biết em cũng nhớ tôi, bởi vì em ấy gọi cho tôi gần như mỗi ngày.
Vì vậy, tóm lại, nếu tôi phải nói về một đứa trẻ mà tôi biết, nó sẽ phải là em trai tôi.
I have always found it difficult to relate to children, regardless of their age, mainly because I am more of a “quiet” person who doesn’t like any “trouble”. However, all that changed once I met seven-year-old “Jabir Bilwal”. Here I will talk about this child whom I now like so much.
Jabir is my distant nephew, around 9 years old, whom I met about a year ago for the first time when I went to visit his father (my distant cousin) after moving to his city for my new job. During our first meeting, I didn’t exactly pay much attention to Jabir, nor did I care to ask him anything. But, after a few days, when I was invited again by my cousin to attend an informal dinner at his house, Jabir suddenly asked me why I didn’t talk to him, and if I was mad at him. I got startled as I just didn’t know how to answer that types of questions. So, I just smiled and told him that I thought that he didn’t like me. Anyway, it was then that I paid attention to “Jabir” properly for the first time.
He seemed like a very intelligent and happy kid to me. However, he looked a bit “thin” for his age, but he certainly didn’t lack the energy or stamina to talk for hours on “issues” that only he knew well. Interestingly though, unlike other kids of his age, he didn’t like to watch “cartoons”. And, yes, he liked to eat chocolates – lots of chocolates that is.
I like this child so much. I like him mainly because he is not exactly like other kids. In fact, he seems to be very organized for his young age. I also think that he is going to be a very responsible person when he grows up because I can see him helping his parents in taking care of many house “choirs” already. Besides, I like this kid also because he doesn’t exactly “demand” anything from his parents. Finally, I feel that Jabir has a bright future ahead of him because he loves to ask a lot of questions even though I find them to be really “challenging” or "silly" sometimes.
Time flies really fast, and it becomes very apparent when we see some children growing up in front of our very eyes, even though, it feels like they were born only some weeks or months ago. Robin Jr. also seems to be one of those children who just like to grow fast.
Anyway, I can still vividly remember the day when my close friend, Robin, got married about 7 years ago or so. A little over a year later, my friend and his wife became the lucky parents of their first child, Robin Jr. So, I guess that it is fair to suggest that I know this child from the day he came into this world. She is now nearly 5 years old and I see him at least 5/6 times a month.
Of course, I didn’t exactly become too attached to this child from the beginning, obviously, because he was just a bit too “little” for my liking or attention, I must say. In fact, if anything, I actually tried to avoid getting close to that little baby boy even though my friend and his wife tried to build some kind of “uncle-nephew” connection between the baby and me. But, as he grew up a little and learned to make some eye contact, I started to like the child. He is very adorable and charming.
Since then, my relationship with the little 5-year-old child has been everything except dull and boring. Now, Robin Jr. and I seldom spend a week without meeting each other and enjoying either some ice cream together or having him a bicycle race with me while I am also pretending to be running with him. The 5-year-old loving but smart child also invites me to his place to watch some funny cartoons with him these days which I also pretend to enjoy a lot.
Anyway, I really like this child a lot. I like him so much because he seems to be very happy always. In fact, I have seldom seen him making a sad face or getting mad over anything. I also like this precious child because he can be satisfied with as little as a promise to buy him some chocolate next time if you can’t buy him any now.
My grandfather had been the father of six children, and later on, when they became parents, the family grew up quite large. In our joint family, there are several children and among them, the youngest girl of my elder sister is the one I'd like to talk about here. Her name is Grace and she is indeed a grace for all of us!
Grace is now 7 years old, and she is my favourite niece. Though her name is Grace, and I always like to call her 'Sweet Grace' and seems like she loves it. I still remember the day she came to this world, and I chose to name her Grace. It was one of the best days of my life. She lives with her parents in our neighbourhood and I visit her almost every day as not seeing her and not spending some time with her make my day unfulfilled!
From her childhood, she is very cute and adorable. I love her very much and because of my affection towards her, she has become very fond of me as well. I usually see her when I return from the office in the evening and get to their house to spend some time with her.
We often play hide-and-seek and other games together. She loves to listen to ghost stories, adventurous stories and fairy tales. We often go to walk in the field, go to open places like parks, near the river and forest. She likes ice cream and I buy her ice-creams and chocolates whenever we are outside.
My affection and love for her are very profound, and I love to spend time with her whenever possible. I feel very strongly about her because she is a little piece of joy for me.
Rajnita is a 1-year-old who I adore the most. She always loves me and appreciates spending most of the time with me. When we played indoor games together, she used to stare at me with so much amazement that I felt very enthusiastic. There is a big playground in Front of my complex, where Rajnita plays with many other children of her age and me. I just recalled my childhood days and how I used to enjoy it with my friends. Moreover, when it is about watching television, the child and I get along very well. Besides, when nobody stays at my home, I used to play and make sweet dishes for her.
She likes ice cream, chocolates and many other sweet dishes. So every Sunday I have to give her chocolates or candies. She loves to listen to horror stories and adventurous movies. She also likes to dance to pop songs and jazz music. Whenever she comes to my house, I have to play cartoons or any bollywood movies for her. My affection, and heartfelt love is always with her. She likes to spend leisure time with me.
To be honest, I was scared of handling little children as I feel they are very fragile and may get hurt. This changed when my little sister came into my life. She was named Aabha, meaning glow or light.
Aabha was a cute little bundle of joy and everybody paid more attention to her, which in the beginning, made me envious. Feeling that I was being left out, one day, my mother explained to me why she needed more care and gave me the responsibility of protecting her. She was chubby and smiled whenever I cooed to her. She had thick, matted hair, which I liked to comb and I put a little anklet on her left foot. I knew she loved me as she used to make happy sounds whenever I was around her.
My sister likes chocolates the most. As a result, when she grew up a little, I used to gift her varieties of chocolates that I collected just for her. We loved spending time with each other and playing videos games. I used to take her to parks quite often and then treat her. Once when I was down with fever, she never left my side. Many people comment that we are two sides of the same coin, but for me, we are pieces of the same soul.
I would like to tell you about my niece, Mai, who is seven years old. I stay with her and her family every national holiday and she is always so delighted to see me.
I helped to take care of her after she was born, so I feel very close to her and we have a good relationship. We like to ride bikes together through our small city and often fly kites. Before going to sleep at night she always asks me to tell her a story and sing her some song.
I love this child very much because she is always so happy and I can’t help but feel happy too when I’m with her. Although she goes to school now and has to study very hard, she still doesn’t worry about life and is very optimistic. Some people think that children are happy only because they are naive. Spending time with Mai has helped me to see that I can have a positive attitude toward my life and be happy even though I am no longer a child and have many responsibilities. Mai trusts her parents to take care of her, so she doesn’t have to worry. I should trust that things will work out right also. That way I can be like her, cheerful and happy all the time.

Lược dịch:
Tôi muốn kể cho bạn nghe về cháu gái của tôi, Mai, bảy tuổi. Tôi ở với gia đình cô bé vào mỗi kỳ nghỉ lễ và cô bé luôn rất vui khi gặp tôi.
Tôi đã giúp gia đình chăm sóc cô ấy sau khi cô bé được sinh ra, vì vậy tôi cảm thấy rất gần gũi với cô ấy và chúng tôi có một mối quan hệ tốt. Chúng tôi thích đạp xe cùng nhau qua thành phố và thả diều. Trước khi đi ngủ vào ban đêm, cô bé luôn đòi tôi kể chuyện cho cô ấy nghe và hát cho cô ấy nghe một bài hát nào đó.
Tôi yêu Mai rất nhiều vì cô bé luôn vui vẻ và tôi cũng luôn cảm thấy hạnh phúc khi ở bên cạnh cháu gái tôi. Mặc dù bây giờ cô bé đi học và phải học rất vất vả nhưng cô bé vẫn không lo lắng về cuộc sống và vẫn luôn rất lạc quan. Một số người nghĩ rằng trẻ em hạnh phúc chỉ vì chúng ngây thơ. Dành thời gian với Mai đã giúp tôi thấy rằng tôi có thể có một thái độ tích cực đối với cuộc sống của mình và hạnh phúc mặc dù tôi không còn là một đứa trẻ và mang nhiều trách nhiệm. Mai tin tưởng cha mẹ sẽ chăm sóc mình nên cô bé không phải lo lắng. Tôi nên tin tưởng rằng mọi thứ cũng sẽ diễn ra suôn sẻ. Như vậy tôi có thể giống như cô bé, vui vẻ và hạnh phúc mọi lúc.
I’m going to talk about my son. His name is Adam and he’s 12 years old, and he is a very well-behaved and clever young boy. I’m often delighted and awfully proud to see how clever and sharp-witted Adam is becoming.
He has a deep passion for learning for such a young child. He has an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. His perceptive nature and discerning eye for detail have helped him to excel in school, where he is often praised by his teachers for his insightful contributions to classroom discussions.
I am particularly proud of a recent incident where Adam demonstrated his resourcefulness and quick thinking. One evening, we were having dinner when our power suddenly went out. As we sat in the dark, wondering what to do, Adam calmly suggested that we use the flashlight on his phone to light up the room. Not only was he able to provide us with a source of light, but he also went to find some candles before his phone’s battery ran out.
Adam can also express himself wonderfully. I think he’s very articulate and eloquent for his age. And his teacher told me the same thing. I think it’s because of all the books he loves to read. He’s an avid reader with an insatiable curiosity. His teachers have often commented on his excellent writing skills too, which are also beyond his grade level.
He’s a fast learner and absorbs information like a sponge, always eager to expand his knowledge about the world. I’m very proud of him. I think he’ll have a great future.
Well, to be honest, I don’t really personally know any children since I’m not a parent and I don’t have any nephews or nieces. So I’m going to talk about a child I remember from a movie I recently saw.
What stood out to me about this young girl was how kind-hearted she was. She was a very sweet and adorable character who was just a kid but still always wanted to try to help the other children and even some of the adults around her. It was a very endearing characteristic.
Despite her young age, this little girl demonstrated her considerate nature in simple but powerful ways. She was nurturing, often offering a toy or a hug to anyone who seemed sad or upset. She was thoughtful and empathetic, always sharing her treats and toys with her friends.
In one scene of the movie, the hero of the story was badly injured and lying on the ground, unable to move. Most of the other characters were too focused on their own survival to notice him, but this little girl saw him and immediately rushed to his side. She was caring and sympathetic, using her own blanket to cover him and offering him a sip of water.
Throughout the movie, this little girl’s tenderhearted nature shone through in every action and word she spoke. She was always willing to lend a hand, to forgive easily, and to show graciousness and love to everyone around her. Her generosity knew no bounds.
Because she was so likable, it made it very scary when she got into danger. But fortunately, she made it through until the end.
