DA, “Delta” book is required. U can buy it at Trang bookstore, we ve 8 CDs already so u can burn them for saving money.
I think u should meet 2 times a week. I’m available every night and from 3 pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday and the weekend. I suggest Thursday from 3pm to 5pm and Sunday from 2pm to 4.30pm. Did u suggest any place which must be low-priced, quiet and comfortable :D. Hey DA, could u take ur laptop with u ? We need the first meeting as soon as possible. I used to be a student of an insane teacher, mr manh, so I will give u some experience.
Writing has 2 parts, we re practicing one of them; another’s actually not easy at all because u must listen to a lecture that’s normally tough; then write an essay about the topic of the lecture +_+ I’m really stuck of it. So listening is a very very important skill in Toefl ibt, do serious hard work on it for that reason. Try to listen as much as possible, make a timetable for urself.
Reading is neither easy but the most difficult questions re usually related to synonymous words. This problem can be solved by the book named “Essential words for toefl”. Get it at Trang bookstore guys. Btw, we have another crazier problem, it drives me nut when trying toremember these weird words +_+. So we plan to learn 75 words equivalent to 5 lessons a week. It’s easy to forget, so we will turn round the book when we finish it. We will have a test of 45 words on the 1st meeting day and 30 words on the 2nd. Each of us will be responsible for preparing tests in turn.
Speaking has different parts, I will tell u later ^_^
but here is the schedule for independent task. Prepare carefully guys
The maximum for this task is 45 minutes. Don’t try to talk over time cause the machine will cut this part.
Topic: When people succeed, it’s because of handwork. Luck has noting to do with success. Do u agree or disagree with this statement?
U had to spend over 10 years at school, a couple of years at university. However, after graduating, U still only got a salary from 150$ - 300$. So when will u get enough money for your owned car or a house...with that income ? Hardworking only make u to live in an easy circumstances but luck can bring you more than that ^^
If a person win in a lottery, which worth several billion of dollars, they’ll become millionaire only after one night. He get a big luck that cause jealousy of many other people with doing nothing. Earning money by luck always is dream of almost people, who spent not too little money on prize, poker, house – race... Or even when we was a child, didn’t know anything about treasure or power, we still desire fortune smile on us so that we can be married a pretty prince like in a fairy tale. It can not be deny that sometime luck can bring us to success as fast as unbelievable.
What would be happen if u studied hard in a long time before the exam and u got a bad sick right before that day? What could an athlete do with broken leg in an competition days? Would David Copperfield cry if he forgot all his important equipments right before going through The Great Wall, nomatter how many time of practicing? No one can say one of them were lazy with their works, but they could lost a chance of their lives simply just because of destiny. It’s no wrong when saying that sometime hardworking could lead us nothing.
However, what come easily, go easily. U’ve awarded a lot of things which don’t mean that u can keep all them with you forever. If u don’t work at least for managing ur money, mountain of property also will run away soon. None of millionaires don’t have to work hard, Bill Gates read hundred of books in a year since he was an students, music genius Mozart also spent over 30 years of his short life for working and even inherited wealthy like William prince still has to learn and work like any normal man.
Luck and hard work always go together. U can’t not be idle to wait God compassion, and u absolutely can’t win the destiny, too. Therefore, I’d like to working hard for my future, and also keep seeking a chance in my life.
“When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success”.Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above?
Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
When seeing somebody’s success, some people may think it is simply because of luck but others including the person who archived the success know that it is not true. The truth is that luck has nothing to do with success.
First of all, luck is defined as a chance happening, or that which is beyond the control of a person. It means that you neither know when that chance incoming nor you can creat luck yourself. It’s the reason why a lottery ticket that you bought can not guarantee you a grand prize or youcan spend thousandsplaying slot machine without winning a penny.If you want a certain success, your effort is the thing you can depend on, not luck.
Even in case when you meet a luck that can bring you success, you will not be able to accomplish anything without setting your mind and working hard on it. Everybody has heard about a popular story of Issac Newton and a falling apple which make him aware of the force of gravity. In fact, it had taken him years of hard work before he finally came to the theory of gravitation. We can find a lot of story like that among our greatest inventors of all time, like Thomas Edison who did hundreds of experiment to find out the best material for the bulb filament or Marie Curie with her restless effort to discover radium. They all proved that luck is merely a chance unless we work hard on it, only hard work can bring chance to reality.
Finally, as people said triumph doesn’t come without effort. Youcan see it in everyday life. You may, as I am, sometimes wonder how your life would be if you didn’t wait for the chance to start doing something and what would happen if you tried the “hard and difficult” way to do it. No one can say your hard work can bring you success or not, but it worth trying than waiting for the chance you can not control. I believe that if luck does appear, it only favours those who helped themselves first. It’s not likely I’m type of person who does not believe in luck, but as Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, said : “I’m a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have it”

Success can not be achieved without hard work. Warren Buffett, one of the world's greatest investors is famed for his discipline for studying financial statements. Bill Gates, thethird richest person in the world, has spent a lot of time in his life working on computer science. However, it is unfair to assume that luck has nothing to do with success. The way to success must be the combination of hard work and luck.
Bill Gates once suggested that some of success is luck, just being in the right place at the right time. Supposed he had not been born in the US in a wealthy family and studied software program when being young, instead, had been a child of a poor family in a developing country, would he be CEO of Microsoft? Warren Buffett was not an exception. He has fortune because he is the son of a local stock broker and was exposed to markets at young age. Buffett, himself, admitted besides hard work, his success was the result of luck.
Actually, in life, some events happen and that can turn upside down one’s life. Let’s me tell you a true story of a professional athlete who had been traininglaboriously for years. It seemed that he had no opponent; everybody believed he would win a medal at the Olympic Games. Suddenly, he had a car accident and broke his right leg just one day before the competition; doctors gave him no chance of walking again. Clearly, he might have succeeded; he might have had a bright future. It was not his fault; it was because he had bad luck.
“Man proposes, God disposes”- it’s true. Never do I forget that exam which I had high expectation for. I was diligent in the studying process but was badly sick on the day of the exam. I seemed not to be able to remember anything, and finally had to get a bad result in frustration no matter how hard I had tried. My friend, on the other hand, didn’t make much efforts, yet still got a high mark.
It is undeniable that luck exerts a certain influence on our lives and hard work does not always amount to success. However, success comes from pure luck seems rarely to last long, great success must be the result of hard work, discipline and a little luck.
