    TASK 1: LEAD-IN QUESTIONS
    SPEAKING Work in pairs. What was the last book you read? What was it about? Did you
    enjoy it? Why? / Why not?

    The last book I read was "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. It was a
    fascinating exploration of how habits shape our lives, from individuals to
    organizations. The author used stories and research to illustrate how we can
    change our habits for the better. I enjoyed it a lot because it gave me insights
    into my own behavior and motivation. It also inspired me to try some new
    habits that could improve my productivity and well-being.
    TASK 2: EXPLORING
    Read the task above and the entry. Did the
    writer enjoy the book? Did he / she have any
    reservations?

    Yes, the writer of the entry enjoyed the


    book. There are no reservations
    mentioned, only positive comments
    about the book's plot, characters, and
    writing style.
    TASK 3: AN ATTRACTIVE BEGINNING
    Read Writing Strategy 1 and the sample and check.

    - Does the writer address the readers directly?


    Yes, because the writer asks the reader
    “Have you ever read a book that you just
    couldn’t put down?”
    - Is the style formal or informal?

    Yes. The style is informal and lively.

    - Which title is better?


    Number 1 is better.
    Number 2 is too long.

    Read Writing Strategy 2. In which paragraph (A–D) does the writer.

    1. describe the plot and characters?

    2. mention something he / she liked?

    3. give some background information about the book?

    4. recommend the book?

    D
    A B C
    TASK 5: TENSES
    Which tense does the writer use to describe
    the plot and characters?

    The writer uses the present


    simple tense in the article.
    TASK 6: USEFUL PHRASES
    KEY PHRASES Complete the useful phrases with the words below. Underline
    them in the sample.
    page recommend set tells twists

    Describing stories
    It’s 1 set in (place and / or time).
    It 2 tellsthe story of (character).
    There are lots of 3 twists and turns.
    It’s a real 4 page -turner.

    I would definitely 5 recommend it.


    TASK 7: WRITE ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE BOOK
    Do the task in exercise 1. Follow the advice in the strategies, use the structure of
    the sample (see exercise 4) and use phrases from exercise 6.

    One of the books that I enjoyed reading recently is Muôn kiếp nhân sinh
    by Nguyên Phong. It is a novel that explores the concept of reincarnation
    and karma through the stories of different characters who are connected
    by their past lives. The book is based on the author's research on
    Buddhism, Hinduism, and other spiritual traditions, as well as his own
    experiences and insights. The book is not only entertaining, but also
    enlightening and inspiring. It makes me think about the meaning of life,
    the consequences of my actions, and the possibility of spiritual growth. I
    liked the book because it challenged me to reflect on my own beliefs and
    values, and to appreciate the diversity and complexity of human
    existence. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in
    spirituality, philosophy, or psychology, or who simply wants to read a
    captivating and thought-provoking story.
