Sample writing:

I am a Grade 8 student in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the busiest and most active cities in Vietnam. My friends and I often use social media such as YouTube, Facebook, and Zalo in our leisure time to make new friends, to keep in touch and to share information. My favourite is YouTube because I can learn many things and relax after school. When watching videos posted by native English speakers, I can learn and practise my English, especially my speaking and listening skills. Also, I’m keen on DIY activities and there are many short videos showing me how to do useful things around my house.
