4. Gifts

How often do you buy others gifts?

Not very often, I think. I used to send gifts to my friends on most occasions when I was younger,
but I haven’t been doing that these days.
Do you like to send expensive gifts?

Well I’m still a student, so sending expensive presents is a no-no for me. I prefer giving gifts that
show my love and care forthat person, for example handmade ones.
What kinds of gifts are popular in your country?

Birthday gifts, such as books, clothes or accessoriesare always popular. Or teddies; when I was
in secondary school and high school, we used to send each other teddies or photo frames as
birthday gifts.
Why do people send gifts?

I think people send gifts to show that they care for the other party and that they treasure the
relationship between the two. It can be more specific, like to express their affection, gratitude, or
even to ask for forgiveness.

6. Films

1. Do you like to watch films?

I absolutely love watching movies. It is a way to experience how others live. Each of us can only
have one life but we can experience so many different lifestyles in movies. It is kind of
temporarily putting oneself into another world.
2. Do you prefer foreign films or Vietnamese films?
I’m much more into imported filmsrather than domestically produced ones, because of a thing
called cultural exposure. People in different countries have different cultural norms and ideas
that come across in their film-making. To me, that’s important for broadening our horizons.

I’m not really keen on watching films in the cinema. Therefore, I only go there when I have to

I would say yes. I can see that movie theaters have become an important part of Vietnamese life,

watch films since they can enjoy the lively sound and images on the big screen and spectacular
special effects always have a wide appeal to audiences.

I like adventure ones. They excite me, they keep me in anticipation, waitingto see amazing visual
effects, hear great soundtracks, cry, be scared, laugh, and think.

Well, it’s hard to remember exactly. I guess it should be an animated film like Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs or Nupakachi, which were the most popular films among children at my age in
the 1990s.

choice.
(Give a reason for your answer) In Vietnam, tea is said to appear in almost every social activity:

optimize their caffeine intake. The best times to drink coffee — or caffeine in general — is

8. Musical instruments

1. Which musical instrument do you like listening to most? Why?

I would say it’s the Violin. I started to like it when I was 15 after hearing a famous violinist
perform on the stage. I was lucky enough to find a good teacher and started playing a few
months ago. I love its sound and its whole playing mechanism; I find it difficult but rewarding!
2. Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?

Yes, 4 months ago I started to learn to play the violin. I would say that the violin is the hardest
instrument to master. For example, a pianist has nearly the same to learn as a violinist but on a
piano the pitch of the notes is always the same, you can’t achieve as much intonation as you can
on a violin. No offense to other instruments but string instruments are easily the hardest to
master.
3. Do you think children should learn to play an instrument at school?

Yes, I do. It might end up that a child is not talented in music, but they might end up being
outstanding. You will never know unless you give them an opportunity to try it.

VOCABULARY:

1. Mechanism: a part of a machine, or a set of parts that work

together: Ex: These automatic cameras have a special focusing
mechanism.
2. Offense: the condition of having your feelings hurt esp. because someone has been rude
or showed a lack of respect:

Ex: Do you think he took offense (= was upset) at the joke about his age?

9. Living place

1. Do you live in a house or a flat?

Well, I live in a terraced house with my family in Thai Nguyen city. It’s not a spacious house but

+ Thông tin khóa học Package online:

[Link]
it’s just right for me and my family with a nice living room, a kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
and a lovely back garden.

2. What can you see from the windows of your home?

The first thing that I can see from my window is the lovely back garden we have where my mom
plants a lot of roses. It is so refreshing to look at my garden and the flowers in it. If I look more
widely, I can see many other houses in our neighborhood and tall trees which are not far away
from our house.
3. Are you satisfied with the place where you focus on living?

Yes, I am. For me, my house is a wonderful place as this is the place I grew up in, went to
school, made all my memories. My family-the ones I love most are in here and my pet is always
the first to greet me.

VOCABULARY:
1. Refreshing (adj) bringing new energy and strength in a pleasant and often unexpected way
Ex: a refreshing breeze on a hot day

10. Public transport

1. What's the most popular means of transportation in your hometown?

The most common vehicle in my hometown is the motorbike. As I’ve read in a current
newspaper, most Vietnamese adults have their own motorbikes. Moreover, I can easily catch
sight of motorbikes whenever I go outside.
2. How often do you take buses?

I take buses to go to school at least twice a day as I haven’t got my own vehicle yet. I also
usually use buses to visit my relatives or friends’ homes.
3. Can you compare the advantages of planes and trains?

Obviously, airplanes and trains have their own particular benefits for passengers. Regarding
planes, they have been the fastest means of passenger transport invented so far. They enable
people to travel all around the world in the shortest possible time.
The biggest advantage of trains is their impressive safety record. Accidents are rare, and so
people can feel relaxed and just sit back and admire the views from their comfortable seats.
4. Is driving to work popular in your country?

+ Thông tin khóa học Package online:

Yes. I’m pretty sure that private cars and motorbikes are the two most popular vehicles in my
country. Therefore, it is obvious that there are a large number of people who tend to drive to
work.

5. Do you think people will drive more in the future?

Yes, I think so. There will be more drivers on the roads in the future due to the convenience of
motoring and the affordable prices of cars.

6. Would you ride bikes to work in the future?

Yes. As I’m a young person, I like to do energetic activities to help me keep fit, so I will give
priority to a job that is within cycling distance of my home.
7. What will become the most popular means of transportation in Vietnam?

Personally, I think the prevalence of motorbikes will continue to dominate in Vietnam due to
their advantages, namely they are great for getting around quickly, they are easy to park and
economical to run.
8. Do you prefer public transportation or private transportation?

Although owning a private vehicle has various advantages, I prefer using public transportation in
order to economize as well as to help protect the environment.

foreign countries with the help of a map.

addition,
