Number

Do numbers matter to you?

Are you good at math?
Do you usually use numbers?
Are you good at remembering phone numbers?
What's your favorite number?

1. Numbers play a pivotal (quan trọng) role in my life, as they help me stay organized and
track progress. All in all (nói chung), they are essential (thiết yếu) for both personal and
academic tasks. Without a doubt (không còn nghi ngờ gì), numbers bring structure to
my daily routines.
2. I’ve always had a knack for (có năng khiếu với) math, as I find it both logical and
straightforward (rõ ràng). Solving problems is like a piece of cake (dễ như ăn bánh)
when I focus, and I enjoy the challenge (thử thách) it brings.
3. On a daily basis (hàng ngày), I rely heavily on numbers, whether for calculating
expenses or keeping track of time. They are indispensable (không thể thiếu) in both my
personal and school life, helping me stay on top of things (kiểm soát mọi việc).
4. I’m not exactly a whiz (giỏi) at memorizing phone numbers, as I typically rely on (dựa
vào) my phone for that. However, with practice, I could probably brush up on (ôn lại)
this skill if needed.
5. My favorite number is seven (bảy), as it’s often considered a lucky charm (điều may
mắn) in many cultures. Plus, it resonates with (có ý nghĩa với) me due to its connection
with balance and harmony.

Pen & Pencil What do you think if someone gives you a pen or pencil as a present? Do you
usually use a pen or a pencil? When was the last time you bought a pen or pencil? Which do you
use more often? Pen or pencil?

1. If someone gives me a pen or pencil as a present, I’d find it thoughtful (chu đáo) because
it's a practical gift. At the end of the day (cuối cùng), it shows they understand my needs
and appreciate the little things (những điều nhỏ bé) in life.
2. I typically use a pen, as it’s more convenient (tiện lợi) for writing notes and assignments.
However, I do reach for a pencil when I’m working on sketches or doing math, where I
might need to erase (xóa) mistakes.

tru) for writing my essays. It was about time (đã đến lúc) I replaced the old one, as it
had run out of ink.
4. I use a pen more often than a pencil, especially for formal (trang trọng) writing tasks like
taking exams or completing assignments. A pencil, on the other hand, is my go-to for
rough drafts (bản nháp) or creative endeavors (những sáng tạo).

when it comes to education.

breakfast important? What do you do right after getting up in the morning?

However, I do it because it helps me stay ahead of the game (luôn trong thế chủ động)
and be more productive during the day.
2. My morning routine usually involves getting up, brushing my teeth, and having a quick
breakfast. All in all (nói chung), I try to keep it simple to kick-start (khởi động) my day
with a clear mind.

important meal of the day for maintaining both health and concentration.

PART 3
1. Are professional consultancy services expensive in your country?
In my country, professional consultancy services (dịch vụ tư vấn chuyên nghiệp) can be
quite costly (đắt đỏ), especially in areas like law or finance. These experts charge a
premium due to their expertise (chuyên môn) and the demand (nhu cầu) for their
services. However, it’s often a worthwhile investment (đầu tư đáng giá) as their advice
can save you from bigger issues down the line. That being said (mặc dù vậy), some
people may find these fees prohibitive (không thể chi trả), making them turn to cheaper
or free alternatives.
2. Do you think the advice parents give their children is always good?
While parents' advice (lời khuyên của cha mẹ) comes from a place of love and
experience, it’s not always applicable to modern challenges. At the end of the day (cuối
cùng thì), times have changed, and some outdated (lỗi thời) ideas may no longer be
relevant. However, their guidance (sự chỉ dẫn) often contains valuable lessons. It’s
essential to take it with a grain of salt (chấp nhận có phê phán, không hoàn toàn tin
tưởng) and apply it thoughtfully based on the situation.
3. Why do some people like to ask others for advice on almost everything?
Some individuals feel more confident (tự tin) when they seek others' opinions before
making decisions. They might be indecisive (do dự) or afraid of making mistakes, so
they rely on external input for reassurance (sự yên tâm). Moreover, discussing problems
can help them gain new perspectives (có cái nhìn mới), which may lead to better
solutions. In a nutshell (tóm lại), asking for advice can provide emotional support and
reduce the feeling of responsibility for the outcome.
 4. Do people often ask for advice from professional people, like a lawyer?
Yes, people frequently turn to professionals (chuyên gia) like lawyers or financial
advisors when faced with complex issues (vấn đề phức tạp) that require specialized
knowledge. More often than not (thường thì), their expertise is crucial in navigating
legal, financial, or health-related matters. The trust (sự tin tưởng) they place in these
professionals stems from their experience (kinh nghiệm) and qualifications. In many
cases, making the wrong decision without proper advice could lead to severe
consequences (hậu quả nghiêm trọng).
5. Who should people ask for advice on big issues, family members or friends?
Both family and friends can offer valuable advice, but each has different strengths (điểm
mạnh). On the one hand (một mặt), family members often know you better and may
provide more practical (thực tế) and emotionally invested (quan tâm về tình cảm)
suggestions. On the other hand (mặt khác), friends might offer a more objective
viewpoint (quan điểm khách quan) because they are not as deeply involved in your life.
Ultimately, it depends on the nature of the issue and whose perspective you value more.
6. Do you follow the advice of your family members?
I usually consider (cân nhắc) my family’s advice carefully because they know me well
and have my best interests at heart. However, I don't always follow it to the letter (làm
theo từng chữ, hoàn toàn). When push comes to shove (khi cần thiết), I make decisions
based on my personal judgment and current circumstances. Their guidance is important,
but I believe in charting my own course (tự vạch ra con đường của mình) and learning
from my own experiences.

Can a hospital function effectively without nurses? What are the differences between the work of
a doctor and a nurse? Do you think it is necessary to learn first aid skills? Do you think that
doctors and nurses are not paid enough? Who plays a more important role, doctors or nurses? Do
you think doctors and nurses are very important?

ChatGPT

1. Can a hospital function effectively without nurses?

A hospital cannot function effectively without nurses. They play an integral role (vai trò
không thể thiếu) in patient care, from administering treatments (cung cấp các phương
pháp điều trị) to offering emotional support. Without them, the burden (gánh nặng) on
doctors would increase, leading to less efficient care. Nurses often serve as a bridge (làm
cầu nối) between doctors and patients, ensuring communication and treatment run
smoothly. In short (nói tóm lại), their absence would result in chaos and a lower standard
of care.
2. What are the differences between the work of a doctor and a nurse?
The primary difference lies in their scope of responsibilities (phạm vi trách nhiệm).
Doctors focus on diagnosing and developing treatment plans (kế hoạch điều trị), while
 nurses are more involved in patient care (chăm sóc bệnh nhân) and monitoring their
recovery. In addition (thêm vào đó), nurses spend more time with patients, handling
routine tasks such as administering medication, whereas doctors typically make more
high-level decisions. All things considered (xét mọi yếu tố), both roles are essential, but
their tasks differ significantly in terms of complexity and focus.
3. Do you think it is necessary to learn first aid skills?
Absolutely, learning first aid skills is crucial (cần thiết) as it can make the difference
between life and death in an emergency. Being able to provide immediate care before
professional help arrives can help stabilize (ổn định) the victim's condition and prevent
further complications. More importantly (quan trọng hơn), first aid skills empower
individuals to act confidently and calmly during crises. At the end of the day (cuối cùng
thì), such knowledge is a valuable life skill that everyone should possess.
4. Do you think that doctors and nurses are not paid enough?
In many countries, doctors and nurses are underpaid (bị trả lương thấp) considering the
critical nature (tính chất quan trọng) of their work. They often work long, stressful
hours, handling life-and-death situations daily. Despite (mặc dù) their contributions, their
salaries sometimes don’t reflect the responsibility (trách nhiệm) and dedication (sự cống
hiến) they bring to the job. In my view (theo quan điểm của tôi), they deserve more
financial recognition for the essential role they play in society.
5. Who plays a more important role, doctors or nurses?
It’s hard to say one role is more important than the other because both are
interdependent (phụ thuộc lẫn nhau). Doctors typically lead diagnosis and treatment,
while nurses ensure these plans are implemented (thực hiện) and patients are well cared
for. That being said (mặc dù vậy), nurses spend more time with patients, monitoring
their progress closely, while doctors provide specialized (chuyên sâu) knowledge. In
essence (nói một cách đơn giản), both roles are vital (quan trọng) and equally necessary
for effective healthcare.
6. Do you think doctors and nurses are very important?
Without a doubt, doctors and nurses are indispensable (không thể thiếu) to any
healthcare system. They work tirelessly to ensure people receive the care they need, often
going above and beyond (làm nhiều hơn mức yêu cầu) their duties to save lives.
Moreover (hơn nữa), their expertise and dedication are essential in maintaining public
health (duy trì sức khỏe cộng đồng). In conclusion (kết luận), the healthcare system
would collapse without their contributions, proving their immense value (giá trị to lớn).

ChatGPT
1. How does modern technology change the handicraft industry?
Modern technology has had a profound impact (tác động sâu sắc) on the handicraft
industry by introducing more efficient production methods. For instance, machinery can
now help artisans produce items more quickly while maintaining a high level of
precision. That being said (mặc dù vậy), some people argue that the use of technology
diminishes the authenticity (làm giảm tính chân thực) of handmade goods. On the flip
side, technology also enables artisans to reach a global market through online platforms,
broadening their customer base (mở rộng khách hàng).
2. Is it reasonable to charge a high price for handmade things?
Yes, charging a high price for handmade products is often justifiable (hợp lý). The time,
skill, and effort that go into creating these unique items are significant (đáng kể), and
such work cannot be easily replicated by machines. Moreover, handmade goods often
have a personal touch and cultural value that adds to their appeal (sức hút). In addition
(thêm vào đó), the use of high-quality materials and the limited availability of such items
further justify (chứng minh) their higher price.
3. Are there any traditional handicrafts in your hometown?
Yes, my hometown is known for its rich tradition (truyền thống phong phú) of
handicrafts, especially in weaving and pottery. These art forms (hình thức nghệ thuật)
have been passed down through generations, with local artisans still producing beautiful
handmade goods. These crafts not only reflect our cultural heritage but also provide a
source of income for many families. To this day (cho đến ngày nay), these traditional
crafts remain an important part of our community and local economy.
4. Why do many children like to make things by hand?
Many children enjoy making things by hand because it allows them to express their
creativity (thể hiện sự sáng tạo) and develop problem-solving skills (phát triển kỹ năng
giải quyết vấn đề). Furthermore (hơn nữa), the process of creating something from
scratch gives them a sense of achievement (thành tựu) and satisfaction. It’s also a fun,
hands-on way to learn, which helps keep their minds engaged. All in all (tóm lại),
making things by hand helps children build confidence (xây dựng sự tự tin) and enjoy
learning in an interactive way.
5. What are the benefits for students to learn to make things by hand?
Learning to make things by hand helps students develop patience (phát triển tính kiên
nhẫn) and attention to detail. It encourages problem-solving (giải quyết vấn đề) and
creativity, as students must figure out how to bring their ideas to life. Moreover (hơn
nữa), these activities can improve their fine motor skills (kỹ năng vận động tinh) and
hand-eye coordination. In the long run (về lâu dài), making things by hand teaches
students valuable life skills (kỹ năng sống quý báu), such as perseverance and critical
thinking.
6. Are traditional handicrafts important to tourism?
Traditional handicrafts are vital (cực kỳ quan trọng) to tourism, as they offer visitors a
chance to experience the local culture in a tangible way. These crafts often serve as
unique souvenirs, representing the heritage (di sản) of a particular region. Not only that
(không chỉ vậy), they provide economic opportunities for local artisans, helping sustain
the community. In a nutshell (tóm lại), traditional handicrafts help enhance the cultural
appeal of a destination and play an important role in attracting tourists (thu hút khách
du lịch).

1. Do you think people of all ages need to read?

Yes, reading is beneficial for people of all ages because it helps to stimulate the mind
(kích thích trí não) and improve cognitive skills (kỹ năng nhận thức). For young children,
it aids in developing language and imagination, while for adults, it can enhance
knowledge and provide relaxation. As we age (khi chúng ta già đi), reading helps keep
the brain active and may even slow cognitive decline. In short (nói ngắn gọn), reading is
a valuable activity at every stage of life, promoting lifelong learning and mental well-
being.
2. What are the differences between paper books and movies?
Paper books allow for a more in-depth exploration (khám phá sâu sắc) of characters and
plot, giving readers the freedom to imagine details. On the other hand (mặt khác),
movies offer a visual representation (hình ảnh trực quan) of a story, which can make the
experience more immediate but often requires condensing (cô đọng) the narrative. While
books provide a more immersive (sâu sắc) and personal experience, movies can make
complex scenes come to life (sống động) with visual effects and soundtracks. Ultimately
(cuối cùng), both formats have their unique advantages depending on the kind of
experience one seeks.
3. What reading topics are popular in your country?
In my country, topics such as self-help, business, and historical fiction are particularly
well-received (được đón nhận). People enjoy reading about personal development (phát

lives. Additionally, novels that explore the nation's history or cultural heritage are also
popular, as they help readers connect with their roots. Besides that (bên cạnh đó), genres
like mystery and crime are widely enjoyed for their suspense (sự hồi hộp) and engaging
plots.
4. Is reading for fun or for work?
Reading can serve both purposes depending on the context. For some, reading is a way to
relax and unwind (thư giãn) after a long day, providing entertainment and an escape
(thoát ly) from reality. Others may read for professional reasons, such as staying up-to-
date (cập nhật) with industry trends or acquiring new skills. That being said (mặc dù
vậy), even reading for work can sometimes be enjoyable, especially if it aligns with one’s
passions. All in all (nói chung), reading has the flexibility to serve both practical and
leisure purposes.
 5. Do you think parents should help their children develop the reading habit from an
early age?
Absolutely, parents should encourage a reading habit early on, as it helps children build
strong language skills (kỹ năng ngôn ngữ) and expand their vocabulary (mở rộng vốn
từ vựng). Additionally, reading from a young age fosters creativity and helps children
develop a lifelong love for learning. Moreover (hơn nữa), children who read regularly
tend to perform better academically. In the long run (về lâu dài), instilling this habit
early sets a foundation for critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.
6. Why are many people so keen on reading?
Many people are keen on reading because it provides a way to escape from reality (thoát
ly thực tế) and immerse themselves in different worlds or perspectives. Furthermore
(hơn nữa), reading helps individuals learn new things, broaden their horizons (mở rộng

their strong opinions often come from a place of wisdom and experience.
6. What do young people have strong opinions about?
Young people are particularly outspoken (thẳng thắn) on issues related to social justice,
climate change, and mental health. They are deeply concerned about the future of the
planet and the inequities (bất bình đẳng) they see in society. In addition (thêm vào đó),

(thay đổi tiến bộ) in education, politics, and gender equality. All in all (nói chung), their
strong opinions reflect a desire to make the world a better and more inclusive place for

impact, and the recognition of their efforts often play a key role. That being said (mặc

environment. In the end (cuối cùng), the collaboration between parents and teachers is
what truly benefits the child’s overall development.
4. Who do you think should set goals for children?
Children’s goals should be set collaboratively (một cách hợp tác) between the child,
parents, and teachers. This ensures that the goals are realistic (thực tế), achievable, and
aligned with the child’s interests and abilities. While parents and teachers (trong khi

in the goal-setting process to develop a sense of ownership and responsibility. In a
nutshell (tóm lại), it’s important that the goals reflect both the child's aspirations and
their developmental needs.
5. What should parents do if their children don't want to study?
If children don’t want to study, parents should first try to understand the root cause
(hiểu nguyên nhân gốc rễ) of the issue. There may be underlying factors such as stress,
boredom, or lack of motivation. Instead of forcing (thay vì ép buộc), parents can try to
 make learning more engaging by connecting studies to the child’s interests or providing
