PART 1
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- Are some parts of this city considered more dangerous than others?
In the USA, there is an element of crime in all major Cities. Generally this occurs in the lower-income inner city areas yet is not limited to these areas. I have lived in large Cities and had only 1 problem in all the years I was a Big City Boy. Common sense is usually the key in having a good life in the City!
- Are there any places you are afraid to visit because of the high crime rate?
Yeah, it’s Venezuela. Venezuela has a crime index of 83.76, the highest of any country in the world. The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 4 travel advisory for Venezuela, indicating that it is unsafe to travel to the country, and that travelers should not travel there. Venezuela's high crime rates have been attributed to reasons including government corruption, a flawed judiciary system, and the breakdown of the Rule of Law.
- Is the place where you are living a safe place?
Yes I feel very safe where I live. Of course it is in one of the most civilized places on earth, Victoria, British Columbia. But I cannot remember too many places that were very unsafe, and when I was younger I lived in some pretty dodgy neighborhoods. But as has been pointed out, situational awareness is a critical survival skill.
- Have you ever witnessed a crime?
- Are there problems with drugs where you live?

PART 2
Mẫu câu hỏi:
- Describe a crime you were involved in.
- Describe a good law in your country
Mẫu câu trả lời:
Question: Describe a memorable visit to a park or the countryside
You should say:
- What is the law
- How you came to know about this law
- Whom does it affect
- Why is it good
Well to be completely honest, I don’t know the first thing about any law specifically, but if I have to think about one, I think it would be the restriction on cellphone use while driving in my country. You know, answering phone calls or texting while driving or riding motorbikes is a common sight in Vietnam therefore the government has decided to impose this restriction. Under this regulation, drivers using handheld phones while driving motorbikes have to pay a fine of 600 to 800,000 VND. They also have their driving licenses revoked for 3 months. If a violator causes a fatal accident, they will face criminal charges.
In my opinion, I think this regulation is absolutely reasonable because with technology growing rapidly, the cell phone becomes more dangerous as it jeopardizes people’s life.
Drivers who use cell phones to text are most likely to look over their phones than the road and can take away a life in the blink of an eye. Therefore they fail to concentrate and reduce their vision of the road ahead.
In fact, there was this deadly accident in Hanoi’s Bac Tu Liem. It happened because a truck driver was talking on a phone while driving and ran into a motorbike, killing a woman and her son right on the spot.
There are also some people who argue that a hands-free mobile phone is not dangerous because people can drive using both of their hands. This may even worsen the situation by suggesting that the behavior is safe.
When a car swerves unexpectedly or pedestrians step into traffic, the mind lacks the processing power to react on time.

PART 3
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- Do you think that young criminals should be sent to prison for serious crimes?
No, I do not think that it is right to send young offenders to prison. In fact, that seems to be the worst way to deal with them. In any advanced society, juvenile delinquents should be dealt with through education, with the intention of reforming them into law-abiding adults. Sending them to jail or prison simply puts them in contact with other criminals and makes them more likely to commit further offences.
- Is there any situation wherein people may disobey some laws? Why is so?
Basically, there are two different kinds of situations wherein people may disobey the laws. First, if a situation comes when a person is not able to meet his/her basic needs, such as food and medicines, in order to survive, the chances are really high that he or she will disobey some laws, no matter how harsh the punishment is. Secondly, if a person feels that some laws are falling short of ensuring “justice” on a continuous basis, in the name of ensuring some “vague rule of laws”, it is only to be expected that people will disobey those laws. Interestingly, some people violate laws just because they do not know them or take the laws very lightly.
- Do you think that people in your country obey the law all the time?
No, certainly not. Many crimes are reported on newspapers and television. They appear very frequently. In fact, I see them every week. Traffic violations, sexual harassment and school violence have been on the news recently.
- Why do some people prefer to be a lawyer?
- What qualities should a police officer have?
