Is Western/international influence increasing where you live? In what ways? If so, do you

2.

think this is a good thing or bad thing?
Vietnam is in the development of the country, so the introduction of culture is very common today.
Especially Western culture has been introduced into Vietnam for a long time. Western culture
influences people's sense of life. People dress more stylish. Typicall young people today dress up
very fashionable. For men, they usually wear t-shirts, jeans or shirts and trousers, and western
shoes. For women, they often wear skirts when walking ... Also, people also change the concept
of eating when using canned food rather than the food itself. Or they will spend some money to
go to the luxury restaurants to eat. The fact that other cultures come into the country and is well
received by people makes it possible to absorb the good from other cultures. But sometimes it
will also overshadow the cultural identity of the nation.
What are the tips you want to give to visitors to Vietnam on how to behave (e.g. what is

4.

acceptable, important, usual, unacceptable)?
If you are a foreign visitor to Vietnam travel. I will have tips for you to travel fun. Firstly, when
going to the market area you should carefully understand the price before buying or can pay the
price with the seller. So you will be more expensive and can buy good items at cheap prices.
Second, you should eat popular eateries, which are cheap and also very hygienic. I think you can
also go to a restaurant, but it costs a lot of money for a meal. Tuesday, When you want to travel
around Ho Chi Minh City, you should look for specific guides to avoid Contact or travel with a tour
guide if available. Transportation is great and you can take a taxi around the city. That's my
advice if you come to Ho Chi Minh City. have a good trip.
Talk about a favourite story from a book, film, etc. Explain why you like it so much.
In the many movies I've seen, I like the Titanic movie the most. This film was produced in 1997 by

director James Cameron. The film was inspired by the worldfamous Titanic shipwreck in 1912. It
stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winsate as two people from two different strata in society. Love
each other on the ship's first ship off the coast. The film conveyed a sentimental message and
found that romantic love ends when a person's death is the same as in a spousal relationship,
and then one day ends when one of them dies. In particular, I like the music of the movie with My
heart will be melodious and melancholy, deep into the minds of viewers of this film.
Talk about a rule that you find annoying, whether in your place of work or study, your

5.

town/city/country or where you live.
Schools always have their own rules that must be followed if they do not want to be punished. In
the years before I was a student, in school I did not like to follow some rules that I found
unreasonable. Typically it is a requirement for all students to wear shoes and not wear sandals. It
is annoying for students when it rains, it is difficult to bring shoes to school because wet shoes
can cause discomfort for the wearer. In addition, it is important to make shoes, otherwise clean
will cause bad odors. I think, schools should have students bring sandals during school days. So
students will feel more comfortable. It is only compulsory for students to wear shoes at school
gymnasium because the subject requires higher activity than sitting in the classroom.
Were your parents strict with you when you were a child? What rules did they have about

3.

clothes, hairstyles, household chores, staying out late, etc.?


6.

As a child, my parents were very strict with me. If I do not listen to or play violently, I will be
attacked. When I go out, I have to dress casually, not to dirty clothes when going home. Every

time my clothes were dirty when I came back from school, I was scared that my mom would scold
me. My hairstyle was cut by my grandmother. For home work, I just do light things like sweeping
the house but I usually do not escape the play. In particular, I was not going to play late because I
was young so my parents would worry if I was late. Now that I've grown up, my parents have
been less strict about me and more secure when I'm going somewhere. Thinking back to my
childhood, my parents earnestly help me study seriously and obediently ...
Talk about a big decision or event in your life. How would your life have been different if

7.

things had happened differently?
Last high school days, when many other students are choosing a college including me. At the
time, I was passionate about mechanical engineering and wished to enter a technical training
college. And one day, I dropped my first choice of university. This incident made me quite sad and
lost faith in myself. At the time, I was looking for other majors and other universities to enroll. But
fate, I decided to choose the environment of the university of natural sciences. This decision
made me pretty surprised because everyone knows I prefer mechanical engineering. But that
decision changed me a lot. From a person who has no passion for the environment, I have loved
him since. I like to attend classes in environmental science, class practice and field trips. That
made me more committed to the field. And now I'm happy to have chosen the environment as my
major.
Why do we actually get less exercise than we did twenty years ago? Which of the

8.

following is the most important reason: increased car/motorbike use, growth of home
entertainment such as computer games, DVDs and videos, busy working life?
Life is increasingly busy, people work relentlessly and do not have time to exercise. Exercise is
good for the health and improvement of the human body. Regular exercise helps us to avoid
cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of obesity ... For the elderly, exercise helps them to

increase flexibility and live longer, helping young people Advanced physical development of the
body. But nowadays the exercise is no longer popular because people are busy with their work so
they do not have time to exercise. On the other hand, there are many entertainment facilities such
as TVs, games, etc. They do not want to go to the gym .. I think exercise is very good for health
and everyone should exercise to Improved physical work better. Having good health is better.
If you were a billionaire, how would your life be different?

9.

I have a wish and my wish is to win a lottery tickets worth 100 billion. If so then I will become
billionaire. That is what I longed for. If I were a billionaire, I would buy a luxury condominium on
the banks of the Saigon River in Phu My Hung. In addition, I will buy myself a BMW car to satisfy
the dream of driving a luxury car. The remaining money I will save a little to buy land for real
estate and resell for interest. The part I will send to my parents to keep and take care of my
school children continue. My dream is more than enough for me to become a billionaire, and now
I am still a student trying to learn to later earn a lot of money to become billionaires.
If you could become a famous person for one day, who would you be?


If I could become a celebrity for a day, I would like to become a player like Messi. He is a famous
player in the world and an excellent striker of Barcelona. Despite possession of a small body but
he has very skillful technique and speed. It will be difficult for the defender to attach to him. I am a
fan of Barcelona and Messi. I wish I could have some great techniques like Messi. I wish I could
go to Noucamp to watch Messi play and score nice goals.
10. The number of people going abroad for their holidays is rising? Why?
On holiday days, people often take time off from family and relatives. In particular, every novice
often uses that time to travel with family, friends and relatives. Travel helps people feel
comfortable after a hard working day. At present, traveling abroad is quite popular. People often
go to Western countries. The fact that people travel abroad on holidays may be because they
have traveled all over the country and want to find interesting places abroad. In addition, they

may go abroad to do business or visit relatives there. It may also be that they do not like domestic
destinations and want to experience new experiences elsewhere, or travel abroad to showcase
their wealth ....
11. List 3 things you’d hate to be without. Why are they important to you?
For me there are 3 very important items when out. The first is the money, if there is no money I
will not be able to buy everything, pay for services arising out of the process I go out like: buy
food, drinks, ..... Monday is the phone When I'm out, I need a phone so I can communicate with
people when needed and let people easily contact me. Thirdly, Motorbike, which is my regular
means of transportation, helps me to get to places that need to come quickly and I can master
time for myself.
12. There are plenty of reasons to love technology. Think of some ways in which technology is
not really making life better.
Life is increasingly modern, technology is also growing. Everyone can own technology products
such as smartphones, smartwatch, etc. The use of technology equipment or application of
technology in life helps people master work, time. And daily activities. However, not the technology
that will make the river better. As such, people who abuse facebook too much will get addicted or
will suffer from depression whenever they look at the phone screen. In addition, the development
of artificial intelligence is a trend as it may be in the future that these artificial intelligence robots
could be human foes, causing war or turning man into slave. of them. We should not overdo it too
much though it helps our lives better.
13. Do you have any problems socialising / making friends? If so, what are your weaknesses?
If not, what are your strengths?
In communication I always encounter difficulties. I am a shy person and lack confidence, so when
dealing with the opposite side I am quite silent and less talkative. That affects communication of
people in the place where I am studying. In addition, in the relationship friends are also afraid to
make friends or forget someone else. My friends' relationships are often made by people making
friends with me. So I find myself quite passive in the matter of making friends with someone else.
Right now, I'm trying to change so that I can communicate better with everyone. I usually take soft
communication classes as well as participate in extracurricular activities to gain more confidence

in communicating with people around me so that I can make new friends. I am very happy about
that.
14. What are the qualities necessary for success? Which of the following is the most
important to you to be successful: ambition, determination, and imagination?
In work and life, everyone wants to have certain success. The ambition and determination in work
will help us succeed. The ambition makes us have big ambitions for the future. I have the
ambition to later open a private entrepreneurial business in the field of environmental equipment
in the future. In addition, determination is the most important thing. The determination to help
them is the driving force for us to succeed. Everyone is determined to achieve goals in life as well
as in work. Just as we have high determination to do what we pursue, We will reach our goal. So
success comes only to those who are truly determined and have goals.
15. What aspects of your English skills need to be improved? What can you do to improve
them?
My English is bad, especially speaking. I am very shy when I speak English to people in
communication as well as in learning. That is my major barrier in learning English. Also, my ability
to listen is quite poor due to less vocabulary and less time to listen to English. I think, to improve
these two skills, I need to spend more time practicing. On the other hand, I try to attend English
conversation courses with people in English skill classes. In addition, I also spend time listening
to English. This would be better for me to improve my English skills.
