Let’s talk about holiday.

Who do you prefer spending your holiday with? Relatives or friends?
Do you prefer going on holiday abroad?

Part II: SOLUTION DISCUSSION (~ 4 mins) (1’ – 3’) (2’ – 2’)
Situation: If you won the lottery of 1 billion VND, what would you do with the money?
There are THREE options for you to choose:
-

Buy a new house.
Start a business.
Deposit the money in the bank.

Explain the option you have chosen.
-

I am going to talk about the situation. (doc lai de)
I think the second option (start a business) is the best choice
There are some reasons why I choose this option. First (First of all/ In the first place) I find a lot of
interest in business. I wish to open a restaurant in the city centre. (I have dreamt of opening a
restaurant since I was young). Second, I can earn more money to support my family (I can
improve my income to deal with financial issues). Third, I major in business and management. I
have a lot of experience in business so I think I can do the business well. Finally, I can become

more active/dynamic, independent and expand/ build relationships with other people.

-

The first option (buy a new house) and the last one (deposit the money in the bank) are not
suitable for me because I have already had a big house. (one billion VND is not enough to buy a
house in HN/ I am living with my parents so it is not necessary to buy a new house). I cannot earn
much money when I deposit the money in the bank
In short, the second option (start a business) is the most suitable for me.

-

Although the two other options sound good, it’s not really suitable for me at the present. Now I’m living
with my parents, so it’s not necessary for me to buy a new house. Depositing the money in the bank is a
safe option, however, in my point of view, this choice would be more suitable with people who have
already had stable income. They can save money for other projects.
In short, I would choose to start a business and I believe I would succeed with this option.

- A wedding cake
- A 5-day tour to the beach
- An album of the whole family
Which do you think is the best present for their wedding anniversary?
+ In my opinion, the second option (a 5 – day tour to the beach) is the best choice for my parents.
+ Because it is beautiful and romantic. They can swim in the sea, enjoy seafood and take a lot of
photos.
+ The first option (a wedding cake) and the last one (an album of the whole family) are not suitable
for my parents
+ In short, the second option (a 5 – day tour to the beach) is the most suitable choice for my parents.

Which do you think is the best present for their wedding anniversary?
+ In my opinion, the second option (a 5 – day tour to the beach) is the best choice for my parents.
+ There are some reasons why I choose this option. First, my parents love going to the beach and it
is the place where they first met. And they wish to come back that place to recall all the sweet
memories. Second, they can do a lot of things on the beach. They can swim in the sea, watch the
beauty of the nature, watch the sunrise and the sunset on the beach, walk along the beach. That’s so
romantic. Also, they can enjoy the seafood and take a lot of nice photos.
+ The first option (a wedding cake) and the last one (an album of the whole family) are not suitable
for my parents. A wedding cake is cheap but it is too simple and not worth for the anniversary and
the album of the whole family is meaningful. However, I am not good at making it.
+ In short, the second option (a 5 – day tour to the beach) is the most suitable choice for my parents.
