Collecting used bottles
My hobby is collecting used bottles for recycling and making extra money for my study.
I live in a poor village and my parents always have difficulties in earning living, so i barely have any money in my pocket and have no chance to get a job because I am a student at a secondary school . i need money for my study and i see some people collecting bottles and stuff. how much do they get for donating those bottles? 
Depending on how many cans and bottles you can collect, you can make a few hundred thousands vndong a week. At my old shop, we had a retired kind neighbor, supplementing his income by collecting the empty bottles. He would collect a trash bag or two worth. I`m sure you could convince a few shop owners to collect them for you.
And you will earn enough money for your study instead of asking for it from your parents.

‘Dancing’ topic:
Here are some questions I took from Cambridge IELTS book 6-Test 1. Remember to apply the KISS technique.
1. Do you enjoy dancing? Why/Why not?
Well, honestly, I’m just an amateur at dancing.
I’ m not good at dancing.
I’ve never taken a dance class before, but I’ve tried some dance parties when I was in the United States. We had parties for international student all over the world every year, so we tried some dance moves once in a while.
2. Has anyone ever taught you to dance? Why/Why not?
Yes. My roommate, Mark Reeves, taught me how to do chicken dance at a conference called Engage last year. It was a lot of fun doing the chicken dance because you can join a crowd dancing a famous dance and have some laughter.
You have a good chance to make friends easily.
3. Tell me about any traditional dancing in your country.
Well, I think I would choose bamboo-pole dance which is a traditional dancing in my country. People use 6-8 bamboo poles to create a dancing ground in which participants have to avoid jumping on the poles and cross the dancing area.
4. Do you think that traditional dancing will be popular in the future? Why/Why not?
Personally/in my opinion, I do believe that traditional dancing will be widespread in the next 10 years in Vietnam. It’s because schools are having some programs promoting traditional dancing to children, so they can get to know more about Vietnamese culture. And I think that being a vietnamese, you have to love and respect Vietnamese culture.

Model Answer 3: Today I am going to talk about an activity that I do in my spare time.  I will explain what the hobby is; how long I have been doing it; who I do it with and why it is important to me.
I don’t think you will be able to guess what my hobby is because it is quite unusual!  In my free time I work at an Alpaca Farm!  An alpaca is an animal that is kept for its fleece, they look a little bit like sheep but with a very long neck!  They are related to camels and llamas which you may recognise more easily.  They usually live in South America, but there is an Alpaca Farm near to me in Sheffield and I work there at weekends.  Although it is called an Alpaca Farm, in fact there are lots of different animals there: horses; goats; sheep; some ducks and hens and even some llamas.
Working with the alpacas and the other animals on the farm means I have to get there early in the morning.  I help to feed the animals and clean up after them.  Sometimes I have to drive a tractor to take hay and water out to the horses.  Often there are visitors to the farm and I will give them a guided tour and introduce them to all the different animals.  At some times of year I help with special jobs to care for them, such as giving injections to protect them from illnesses or trimming their toenails if they get too long.
