Giải đề thi Speaking ngày 17/09/2022 | Part 1: Haircut - Part 2: Describe an important letter or email you wrote - Part 3: Emails
Yes, and it happened so unexpectedly. During the previous covid-19 lockdown, my hair was growing too long, so I borrowed a hair shaver from my father and gave myself a haircut. It was a disaster since I had no experience.
Beside the “accident” I’ve just mentioned, I’ve had this haircut virtually all my life, ever since I could remember. Despite not being fashionable, it’s comfortable in a hot and humid country like Vietnam.
I don’t feel like changing it now. But who knows, maybe I’ll be more open about it in the future.
You should say:
And explain why you wrote that letter.
I’m going to talk about the email I wrote to my Maths professor to request my final exam to be rescheduled.
It was an extremely important exam that I studied day and night for. Unfortunately, on the exam day, my mom was involved in a traffic accident, and I had to hurriedly get to the hospital to take care of her.
When the doctor informed me that her condition was good. I was relieved but suddenly realised that it had passed the exam time. Frantically, I pulled out my cell phone and began typing an email. I was feeling anxious and helpless about the situation. My professor was well-known for being strict about time and deadlines. I didn’t know what to write to make her understand my situation. Ultimately, I decided it was best to tell the truth.
I started the email with a formal opening: “Dear professor,”. Then I introduced myself and which course I was in. Next, I went straight to the issue. I explained that my mom was hospitalised suddenly, and I had to be there for her. As politely as I could, I asked about the possibility of taking another exam. After sending the email, I waited anxiously for the reply. To my surprise, not only did my professor allow me to reschedule my final exam, but she also gave me a week to be by my mother’s side.
The email I wrote eventually became my “life saver” and I’m so glad that I communicated with my professor immediately.
Off the top of my mind, I can think of human resource officers of companies, and of course, students are among people who have to send and receive email every day. I am a college student myself and I send emails to my professor asking about homework and to my classmates when I have group projects. I have also recently started working as an intern for a company and I have observed that the HR departments send out emails about important information such as promotion, holidays and company social activities almost every day.
Emails have a number of upsides over traditional letters. First and most important, you can send an email instantly making the communication with others so much faster. It’s suitable for businesses. Another advantage that makes emails suitable for businesses is you can send the same email to many people. Also, emails are always legible, and receivers do not have to struggle with bad handwriting. It’s so relieving to me.
However, emails generally are viewed as robotic and lack the personal touch. For this reason, they cannot replace handwritten letters as thank you notes or love letters.

Well, this is rather a difficult question! I’ve never thought about the impact that emails have on our culture. I suppose the days of waiting for the postman to deliver letters from your loved ones who live far away are gone. Even important documents such as university acceptance letters and job offers can be sent through emails nowadays. It makes waiting a little less stressful.
I think writing an email requires a different skill set and etiquette than writing an essay or writing a handwritten letter. To me, writing emails is about communicating efficiently in a few lines of words. So, writing emails can certainly improve and diversify one’s writing skills.
