So sánh nhà ở quá khứ và hiện tại. In the past, as almost people, I lived in rural area in a three-generation family. It was a large house with a lot of rooms. I remember it was surrounded by a lot of trees and flowers, which made my house very cool in summer. Besides, some paddy fields around is an important thing that make the air quite fresh. It was a large house; however, as you know the bathroom at that time wasn’t as convenient as that of now. Whenever I wanted to go to the toilet, I needed to go through a long dark way, it made me very scared. Nowadays, almost people live in apartments in the cities. They’re not as large as rural houses; nevertheless, they’re more convenient with a lot of modern household equipment and good services. The apartments in high floors are really great for romantic people. If you want to see the stars or enjoy clean air, you just need to open the windows. Sometimes it’s hard because the population now is more crowded than before and the increasing of transportation make the air more and more polluted. Furthermore, when you need to buy something, watch films or go shopping, you can go to some malls near the apartment areas, it’s really good experience when living in apartments. 2. Phòng nào bạn thích nhất trong căn nhà của bạn? I’m living in my own apartment near my company. It’s a full house with green- my favorite color. There are 4 rooms in it: living room, kitchen, bathroom, bed room and a lovely corner in the balcony. I like bed room most, it’s considered my relaxing room. There is a big bookshelf with many kinds of books and magazines. Before going to bed, I usually spend 30 minutes to read books beneath the warm lamp light. I love my bed also. It’s not big but it’s soft. Whenever I feel sad or tired, I just need to sleep or take a nap on my bed and then I’ll come back with full of energy. I can say that my bed room is the greatest place in the world. 3. Thể loại âm nhạc bạn yêu thích? Ca sỹ nào bạn thích nhất? When somebody asks me about my hobby, I’ll tell them it’s music. I love pop ballad because it’s gentle with meaningful lyrics and unforgettable melodies. I like some singers from US UK especially boy band Westlife. They’re very famous for lots of songs like My love, You raise me up, Soledad… Because of their good looking appearance, warm voice and meaningful love songs, I always like them although time is too long. Furthermore, listening to music helps me balance the mood. Whenever I feel sad or disappointed with some bad things, I usually find music as a friend to confide in. Even though there are many new singer generations, they also bring unique musical style, my idol’s always Westlife. 4. So sánh xe đạp trước đây và sau này. Bicycle is a common transportation in our life; however, this kind of vehicle has changed a lot between before and now. I’ll tell you the differences. The first point is users. In the past, bikes were used by almost people because it’s the main transportation. They used to move to work, reach to school and go shopping by bike. Nowadays, almost people use motorbikes instead. Just teenagers use this vehicle for moving to school, adults choose bicycles to ride for health. The second point is designs. The bike’s designs before was so simple with plain colors and basic models. But now, they’re different with abundant designs and colors. You can see some small and colorful bikes for children, the sporty designs for training health and the fashionable models for some special shows or photography. In general, bicycle is usually a good choice because it’s not only good for our health, but also friendly with the environment. 5. Một chuyện đặc biệt khiến bạn đặc biệt ghi nhớ. Like others, I also have my own memory that I’ll never forget. It was a hot summer, when I was in my exams for high-school graduation. When in the exam room, after completing almost exercises confidently, I was so greedy that I wanted to achieve highest score with the last question. However, it’s really a hard one that took me nearly 20 minutes to understand the topic and of course I couldn’t find the key. While I was starting looking around for help, I saw a boy, his name, I remember – Nguyen. I gave signal to get help and luckily, he got me and then he wrote the key in a small paper piece and passed me. Suddenly, the supervisor saw him and took the paper. I was so nervous and shy at that time. Fortunately, the supervisor didn’t investigate us. It’s really an unforgettable memory in my student life. 6. So sánh internet hiện tại và quá khứ. 7.

When you see a lot of restaurants, Lotte Mall’s opposite. A: Do you use GPS map? I’ll show you how to use it. It’s very convenient, you just need to turn it on and go following the instruction. A: Have a nice trip in Ha Noi. Đề 4. 1. Kể về địa điểm du lịch trong nước? I always look forward to summer because it’s the time for my travels. I like beaches and Da Nang’s always my best choice. I’ve been to DN four times; however, anytime is always my first time. DN’s very well-known for many beautiful coasts like My Khe, Rang, Non Nuoc and etc…Although the weather in summer is very hot, you still feel cool and comfortable when being deep into the seas. DN’s famous for many dishes. The first time I’ve tried food there, I found it too sweet and spicy. However, when adapting, it’s really delicious. Furthermore, you must try waterfall sliding in Hoa Phu Thanh, I’m sure it will be the most amazing and unforgettable experience that you haven’t ever had before. It gets extremely crowded during peak season; nevertheless, it’s really a recommendable destination. 2. Kỷ niệm về chuyến du lịch đáng nhớ của bạn? The most impressive travel that I never forget is my trip to Thailand. I went to Thailand in 2018 with my best friends. When we moved to Suvarnabhumi airport for flight to Chiangmai, I recognized that I lost my passport. At that time, I was very nervous, I felt like I could cry a lot. My friends stood around me and comforted me. They told me to remember the last time I saw my passport and looked for it together. Luckily, when we were checking in my luggage, we found it in the bottom of my all clothes. I find myself very released, and I gain the experience for not keeping anything carelessly. 3. Bộ phim yêu thích của bạn là gì? I’m not hooked on watching films; however, I also have my own favorite movie, its name is “The werewolf boy”. Its plot is about the life of an abandoned werewolf boy; he was found in a forest by a poor family in the countryside. The daughter in that family taught him how to eat and behave like a human. Besides, the werewolf boy also tried to prevent her and family from many dangerous situations. Time passed, the relationship between them grew into love. Unfortunately, one day, the werewolf boy was killed by a cruel hunter- who has the feud with the girl’s family. Before he died, he promised to meet her again in another life. This film moved me a lot. It had not only great content but also famous movie stars – Park Bo Young and Song Young Ki, which made it memorable in my mind. 4. Đi xem phim cùng bạn thì thường làm gì? Nowadays, there are a lot of activities you can do at weekend like going shopping, joining a sport club. With me and my close friend, we choose going to the cinema for relaxing. At first, we need to choose a good-feedback film and buying tickets via online system. When coming to the movies, we get the ticket at check-in stall, buy food and drinks like a package of popcorn and 2 cups of soda. After enjoying the film, we usually go around to take some pictures and keep them as memories. If we have much time left, we will go to several stores to see clothes, bags and stuff things because our favorite cinema is in a big shopping mall. Going to the cinema is one of the best activities you can try in your leisure time. 5. Thể Loại phim yêu thích của bạn là gì? Whenever I feel exhausted, I usually find comedy as my relaxation. Actually, when it comes to movies, I just watch whatever is fun. I don’t like horror films, it makes me more and more stressful. I adore watching comedies because it helps me comfortable after a hard-working day. There are some famous comedies from many countries of the world like Trung Ruoi (Vietnam), Yuksao (Korea)…Korean movies have become a lot better in quality than in the past. They are fun to watch and entertaining. Almost comedies have short content, which makes it easy to understand. I like actors and actresses in this kind of film because they have flexible acting. They can use their faces to show the feelings and make people laugh without saying. In some films you can see famous actors but in others, you see very strange ones; however, most of them act cool and flexible. 6. Kí ức không tốt liên quan tới phương tiện giao thông?. I detest buses. The reason why I’ll show you now. When I was a high pupil, I usually went to school by bus. I had to wake up at 5a.m every morning and then came to bus station. The way to station was nearly 2 kilometers so it took me 20 minutes to come there. It was a winter morning, in the rain, I was walking to the bus station alone. When seeing the bus from far distance, I tried my best to catch it. Unluckily, the driver, I’m sure that he could see me but he didn’t wait for me. I wished that I could run as fast as a tiger so that I didn’t miss the bus. After that, I was still keep patient to wait for the next one. But you know, the next bus was too crowded that driver didn’t stop. I missed my bus one more time. I was feeling so angry and terrible at that time because I could be late at school. I found a solution at that time, I would go to school by 2 different buses in 2 ways. Luckily, I was successful. The experience with buses was so terrible that I don’t want to recall and I swore that I would have my own motorbike as soon as possible. 7. Phương tiện giao thông ngày xưa và bây giờ khác gì nhau? When I was a kid, trains used to be slower. But now, Korea has bullet trains called the KTX and SRT. Trains have become much faster than in the past. They are at least twice as fast as they used to be. It takes half the time to get somewhere now. Plus, when I was a kid, plane tickets used to be very expensive. But now, plane tickets have become much cheaper thanks to low-cost carriers. People can get great deals for plane tickets. Some flights only cost half the price. Next, when I was a kid, people used to use paper maps when they drive. But these days, driving has become much easier because we now have GPS. People do not get lost as often as they used to. The GPS tells them where to go. So, transportation has become a lot better over years. 8. Ở nước bạn chủ yếu dùng phương tiện gì? People get around in various ways in Viet Nam. Thanks to the well-organized road construction, we can choose buses, motorbikes, bikes or even trains to move. As normal, when going to work or going near places, I usually use my motorbikes. It’s very convenient because I can go wherever I want. When I need to come to a farther place, I use public transportation to get around. Plus, we also take trains or planes when travelling. As I see, there are many people drive their own cars to some destinations or even travel through three regions in Viet Nam. However, parking can be a problem as well. So people use public transport or ride their motorbikes to get around. 9. Nói về Một vấn đề gặp phải với phương tiện giao thông và cách giải quyết? I remember when I was stuck in traffic for a long time. It was during the holiday and traffic was bumper-to-bumper. I was heading to my grandparents’ place. Normally, it takes only about 1 hour to get there. But on that day, it took almost 3 hours to get my destination because of too many people moving on the roads. Plus, there were a lot of fender benders and jams, which made the traffic extremely heavy. I felt exhausted because I was in the car for so long. Since then, I always head out early during the holidays. 10. Miêu tả phòng trong ngôi nhà yêu thích. (Xem cau 2 De 2) 11. Diễn: Bạn bị mất đồ trên taxi, điện thoại tới công ty taxi nói chuyện?

I live in the Northern Viet Nam which has 4 seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The weather in spring and autumn is quite the same, cool and comfortable. However, there is a distinction between winter and summer. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. Unlike Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City only has 2 seasons, dry and wet. It is often hot and humid. The dry season starts around December and ends in April and the wet season is in the rest of the year. The weather in Ha Noi has changed compared to the past because of global climate changing.

Compared to Europe, the weather here is a little bit different. As you know, the main type is cold during the year. In Viet Nam, the weather can be divided by the location. In the north, there are 4 seasons including spring, summer, fall, and winter. By contrast, in the south, there are only 2 seasons: dry season and rainy season. It is often raining in summer or rainy season, from April to October. In addition, you can feel the cold and hot clearly if you are in northern Vietnam.

Wow, this question makes me remember my trip last year. It was a terrible memory, but let me tell you about that story. Last summer, I had a trip to Da Nang with my family and spent there about 3 days for discovering the culture, people, and food as well. But unfortunately, a tropical storm attached directly to the place where we were at that time. As a result of it, the weather was truly bad with heavy rain and strong wind. So we could not go outside in that dangerous weather. We had to face it. Nonetheless, every coin has two sides, I had much time besides my family for sharing our daily lives, our stories, and especially our difficulties. That night was so long, and I really appreciated that period of time. The trip seemed a little bit broken but in my point of view, something unforeseen made the trip funnier and more attractive. And of course, the storm also made my family closer and closer. That was one of the most special things I will never forget in my entire life. 5. Mấy năm gần đây thời tiết thay đổi thế nào?

The environment is polluted in many types: air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution... Besides, the weather has become more severe, it can be too hot or too cold.

At that time, my parent usually let me hear the ones for babies on purpose that it would help me be more intelligent. I remember that "Bubble Bee" was the song I liked the most, and I used to listen to it over and over again. But when I got older, I started to listen to various types of music.

About me, the main reason why I love traveling is exploring and chilling out. Travel takes me out of my comfort zones and inspires me to see, taste and try new things. Besides, it is time for us to de-stress and truly switch off. It allows us to escape life's daily demands and enables us to clear our minds. Seeing beautiful landscapes, talking to new people, trying new foods or something new can make us refresh ourselves. After a trip, we will be full of energy and will work effectively. 11.

I lost my phone on the way back home after finishing my class. I remember that I put my mobile phone in a small compartment in my backpack which did not have a zip. My friend asked me to put it somewhere safer but I did not listen to her. And as a result of my stubborness, the phone was accidentally dropped somewhere on the street when I was riding my motorbike. When I arrived home, the phone was gone to my surprise. I was very bored and repentant. So I have a lesson learned that I have to be careful with my assets all the time. 12.

The new mobile phone with modern features, larger storage, and faster performance will satisfy user needs more and more. On the other hand, I sometimes buy a new mobile phone because of its beautiful design. But just in case I have enough money and it also has enough money.

Actually, when searching for furniture in some Vietnamese websites, I couldn’t find any suitable ones and my friend told me to look for it on Amazon. I logged in Amazon and opened the searching tool. It’s a little bit complicated because of my first time. Plus, the Amazon’s delivery service was convenient and helpful. After choosing my favorite item, I ordered delivering it to Vietnam.

Moreover, the color of the wall isn’t my favorite one, my parents chose the green but I’ll replace with the pink. Hanging some pictures that I drew on the wall is also a fabulous idea to make me love myself and appreciate my art ability. I will be very happy with the new look. It seems to be worth the money I spend. 3. Sự kiện trước/sau khi xem phim tại rạp, nói về sự kiện Last weekend, I decided to come to the cinema alone for watching new film- Mission Impossible.

Before watching the movie, we got some popcorn and soft drinks at the snack bar. After that, we went to a decent Japanese restaurant. We tried the best sushi in that place. The food tasted extra good because we I was starving. The fish we ordered was so juicy and tender. I could see why that place was so popular. We also had some drinks with the meal. We ordered some beer, which went very well with the food. Looking back, it was a very enjoyable dinner. Living with parents is really helpful to me. Every day, my mom prepares food and cooks meals. After a hard working day, I can enjoy her super delicious dishes. My dad also helps me a lot in doing housework. He spends nearly 1 hour per day to clean the house. My family usually gathers for dinner and has some small talk to share what happened in a day. Whenever a member in my family gets sickness or health problems, the others will take care a lot. I love living with my parents, that’s the reason why I still don’t want to have my own small family. 7. Nói về tính cách của hai người trong gia đình và bạn bè của bạn.

Plus, they’re both very active. They like to do outdoor activities like jogging, playing badminton and going on trips. They always go out to do something fun regardless of the weather. On the other hand, there are differences between them. My dad likes drinking, but my mom does not. My mom likes having coffee in the morning but my dad always chooses mineral water instead. So, this is my mom and dad are like. 8. Trang trí bên ngoài ngôi nhà I remember the first time I decorate for my living place. It was Christmas 2 years ago. At that time, after chatting with my friends, we came up with an idea to decorate my house. Before we bought some pattern things, we designed a house with some red and green balloons, and a plastic Santa Claus shape in front of. We took a bucket with red color and paint the house. It took us 3 hours. Then, we hung balloon, small teddy bears on the gate. I remember hanging a big-sized shock at the gate for Santa Claus put his gifts in. It’s a very amazing experience to me. 9.

Nam diễn viên được yêu thích nhất I’m a fan of Korean movies and one my favorite actors would have to be Song Joong Ki. He is very famous for various films such as The Descendants of the Sun, The werewolf boy, Sungkyunwan Scandal and many others. I’m absolutely impressive on his appearance and acting style. He always appears with handsome looks. All his films have been very meaningful at content and I can say that the directors were so smart that he chose Song Joong Ki. Now he’s in 37; however, he looks like 17, he’s still younger than his real age. He’s living happily with his wife and first son.

Because I spent time for preparing other important things such as: Welcome relatives people and buy some gifts and decorated some things for the birthday. So we order some foods from the barbeque restaurant near my house. We order more three sets of seafood hotpot. We order fried potatoes and fried corn because the children like these foods. The food tasted so good because we were starving. And about my experience, you should order foods when near time to eat, because the foods will fresh and more delicious. 11: Many fast foods, take-out delivery restaurants are now offering healthy choices. Why do you think this change has come about in recent years? Was it a result of consumer pressure, market forces, or something else? Ah, there are a lot of delivery restaurants in my country and placed everywhere these days. Most of them places are on big streets and crowed. Meanwhile, people use various types of food delivery applications to order in these day. There are a lot of menus on these applications and have various of options to choose from.

On the weekdays, I don’t have much time for my family, just enough a little time in the evening for do some basic housework as: Clean housing, take care of children, do the dishes… On the weekends, I have all day for family. I have enough time to do many meaningful things. In the morning, I have time to take may children go to school, what I can’t do it on the weekdays.

So I had same in this situation. I didn’t have time to do any things. I didn’t have time to make some foods for the children. So, I have to take-out for delivery food service to get some foods for lunch time. +) I order noodles for my son. +) I order sticky rice for my daughter. +) I order rice for myself with some extra dishes. The tasted of foods amazing and tasty. My children ate all their foods and I also ate all of food. The tasted quite strange and delicious. We were very enjoyable meal. About delivery food service, I saw it very fast and convenient. We got the food after ordered 30 minutes. That were experiences I would like to share 10: Talking about a time when you prepared for a special occasion using take-out or delivery service. What kinds of food did you get from the restaurant? Tell me about that experience with lots of details. I remember having my Son’s birthday party at home. It was first birthday of my Son. At that time, we didn’t cook some foods for the party. Because I spent time for preparing other important things such as: Welcome relatives people and buy some gifts and decorated some things for the birthday. So we order some foods from the barbeque restaurant near my house. We order more three sets of seafood hotpot. We order fried potatoes and fried corn because the children like these foods. The food tasted so good because we were starving. And about my experience, you should order foods when near time to eat, because the foods will fresh and more delicious. 11: Many fast foods, take-out delivery restaurants are now offering healthy choices. Why do you think this change has come about in recent years? Was it a result of consumer pressure, market forces, or something else? Ah, there are a lot of delivery restaurants in my country and placed everywhere these days. Most of them places are on big streets and crowed. Meanwhile, people use various types of food delivery applications to order in these day. There are a lot of menus on these applications and have various of options to choose from. It takes much less time and energy. So, I think this is main reason ordering has become a lot easier than in the past. 12: What are the latest trends people are talking about related to take –out of delivery food options? Perhaps, it has to do with ordering online or an application. Or, it has to do with new kinds of offerings. Discuss the changes that you have observed recently regarding take-out and delivery food options. Well, as you know that, nowadays, internet develop continuously. People connect with each other is very easy and fast. Moreover, have many applications were developed for online trading service in general and take-out of delivery foods in particular. These services become trends of these days. You can easy to take a food after short time after order on online applications. Foods often were ordered such as Fast foods, dessert, etc. Especial milk tea and drink. In the past, I think take-out delivery food option very limit and don’t have various type of foods, especial fast foods. 13: How do busy working people usually get their meals on weekdays? Do they order food or go to restaurant. What do they usually do? Well, as you know, nowadays people become busier in general and especial in weekday in Particular. They don’t have much time to cook themselves. So, they choose eat out side more often. It was like the best way in these days. And they choose order food or go to the restaurant depends on each specific case. When single people or several people doesn’t want to eat company foods, they take-out of delivery food. About group of person, they usually choose go to the restaurants. So, busy working people eat out side or order food on weekdays quite often. 14: What do you usually do for dinner during the week?

And we enjoy the dishes together. Sometime, we talk about about my job, children’s education during the meal in the evening. That’s amazing time we have together. 15: Tell me about how you found out about a special food or grocery store. Maybe a new specialty store opened in your community or a new farmer’s market opened and you wanted to check that place out. How did you find out about this new food or grocery store? Well, now I still feel very surprise about grocery store on the first floor of my building. On the first floor of the building where I am living, have one grocery store provide organic products. That’s wonderful, all products have no chemicals, especial I was impressed with cooking oil and spices, all made from organic and have good prices and sure good-quality.

In the market, there are many sellers with various of products and It’s quite easy to get a good deal with big discount when you buy many products in one time. It’s different with shopping mall. In the shopping mail, the price was fixed, you can’t deal with sales agent. Sometime I buy few home appliances necessary when shopping and it also was bought in the market.

I was very excited whenever I went there because I could take a little bit money from my parents and buy anything I want. That was amazing. And my parents feel ok and see it same a way to pay for energy I spent. So, this was my early memory of shopping. 4: You indicated in the survey that you like to go shopping. Let’s talk about your shopping habits? How often do you go shopping? Where do you go for your shopping? Well, as I talk before, I am working for the company far from my house, so I don’t have time to to shopping in weekdays. So just only have time for shopping in the weekend.

What are some typical means of transportation to get around? Well, as you know, depending on the location and distance, people choose the different ways of moving. Sometime, the purpose of moving also is a part of decide to choose means of transportation. Actually, have two priority factors are safety and convenient when people choose the transportation. In my country Vietnam, people get around in various ways. Example: - When moving in the big city or town, public transportation is very well and the most popular. - When the location has large distances, airplanes are best ways and often chosen as a means of transportation. - When people would like to explore about new landscape and control own vehicle, motorbike or bike are often chosen as a means of transportation. Well, sometime such as cars, taxi, boat, trains also very popular transportation in my country. 2: What means of transportation do you use to get around? Do you drive or take public transportation? Well, about me, to be honest I am so scared about traffic accident. So I don't use motorcycle as often when moving. When moving to the location have large distances, most often I take a public transportation such as bus, trains sometime take own car. But BUS is the most favorite chosen because it's one of the cheapest way and safety when get around. When moving to the location surrounding area where I am living, most often I take a bicycle or electric bike. It is very convenient and easy to control on my own. So, I priority use the public transportation to get around. Sometime I drive own bicycle or electric bicycle to get around. 3: How did you travel when you were a child? Were the types of transportation different back then? Describe for me how people used to get around in your city or town. Well, I remember that, last time when I was a child. I have chance travel with my mother to the large distance location. We took by Trains. Actually, at that time, Trains was the most popular transportation. But Trains used to move slow and take long time to get the location. Now we have subway or bullet train with high speed, moving faster than the past. Moreover, in the past, I remember plane tickets used to be very expensive, so we didn't dare use plane for moving. But now, plane tickets become cheaper thanks to low-cost carriers. And actually, in the past, don't have the variety of public transportation. But now, we have the variety of public transportation such as bus, electric bus, coach, etc. with cheap price. And have special thing, when I was a kid, people used to use paper maps to show where to go, but now just only using GPS system, easier to get where to go. So, transportation has become a lot of better over the years. 6: Problems related to transportation often arise. Cars break down, trains run late, or traffic could get bad. Tell me about a transportation problem that you once had. What did you do to deal with the situation? Actually, problems are something that happened everywhere in general and problems when using the transportation in particular. About me in this situation, on my ways go to work everyday morning, in the morning usually have trains comes across. As you know, when trains come across, it’s very dangerous for vehicles and people. So when the trains prepare to come, Road has to blocked and no one can go through to give priority the trains go through first. Actually, I have to waited in several time. That the reason, I often was missed the company bus. To deal with this problem, I usually go to work early 10 minutes. If have the trains goes through and I can’t move through that road. I will choose other way to go. That’s my experience to deal with the situation.

After that, I come my working area for start the work. I am a personal in charge of Master Data Management, so works need to do first are make some report and check the result of system. After that, I have regular meeting with boss and co-worker to raise and resolve about issue pending. All thing I do on the computer, not using the paper work. I have lunch time at 12:20 pm and start with the afternoon working time at 13:20. I get off work at 17:48 pm every day. It's normal working time for one normal day of mine. But when have issue, I have to work late (well call it is over time) for complete pending work. So, these are the things I do at work in one normal day. 3: Now, tell me about a project you did at work last week What kind of project was it? How did it go? What did you have to do for the project? Did you have any meeting to attend for the project?
