Điều quan trọng là bạn phải thể hiện khả năng sử dụng từ vựng phù hợp và diễn đạt ý tưởng của mình một cách chính xác.

Điều này bao gồm việc sử dụng các thì khác nhau, câu điều kiện, câu phức, v.v. Độ chính xác cũng rất quan trọng, vì vậy hãy cố gắng giảm thiểu các lỗi về ngữ pháp và cấu trúc câu.
• Pronunciation: Tiêu chuẩn này đánh giá khả năng phát âm một cách rõ ràng và dễ hiểu của bạn. Mặc dù bạn không cần phải có giọng giống người bản xứ, nhưng bạn phải tập trung phát âm để giám khảo có thể nghe, hiểu được chính xác từ mà bạn muốn nói.

Family and Friends

1. Do you have a large family or a small family?

Well, my immediate family has only 4 members including my father, my mother, my brother, and
me. But I have a close-knit sizable extended family including many uncles, aunts, and cousins who keep in touch with one another very often and always gather together at special times.

2. How much time do you manage to spend with members of your family?

I’ve been living in Hanoi which is 60 kilometers from my parents’ house. Therefore, I can only visit them on weekends. When I get back home, I try to spend most of the time with my parents. We talk about our daily stuff and update each other on what’s going on in our lives.

3. Do you have many friends? Why? Why not?

I have a lot of friends, but only a few close friends. And I think it’s easy to make friends, just be a friend. Treat people respectfully and how you would like to be treated in return. That is how you can have lots of friends!

 

Arts

1. What forms of visual art are popular in your country?

Because Vietnam has much cultural and natural diversity and a long history, we take pride in various types of visual art ranging from painting, sculpture, crafts, and drawing. Take Dong Ho Folk painting, for example. With a unique drawing-printing technique using raw materials and all-natural colors, this kind of art is preserved not only by the government but by all Vietnamese people.

2. Are there any differences between the art in your country and in Western countries?

Since culture varies, there is a vast difference between art in Vietnam and Western nations. There

are some unique Vietnamese art styles, such as stilt houses and martial arts, that we do not see in the Western world. Having said that, as France and China dominated our country in the past, we were, to some extent, influenced by their artistic styles while maintaining our own.

3. Do you want to be an artist?

Not really. Though I have a strong passion for drawing, I don’t expect to become an artist; that’s why I opted for Business as my university major. The reason is that being a successful artist is hard, especially for those from a middle-class family like me. I would have to hope that the public recognized my work of art to help me move from rags to riches. I don’t want to lead a difficult life to pursue my dreams.

 

Music

1. Do you like listening to music?

I love listening to music, especially US-UK. My favorite artists are Miley Cyrus and Troye Sivan; their songs always sound fantastic.

2. When do you listen to music?

I listen to music whenever I feel like doing so, but maybe I most often do that before going to sleep, when I’m on the bus, or when I don’t have any important tasks to work on.

3. Did you learn instruments?

I didn’t take up any musical instruments and still haven't. I have always wanted to learn to play the piano ever since I was a kid, but never got the chance to. I’m planning on getting some piano lessons this summer.

4. Did you have any music classes in school?

I used to have music classes back when I was in primary school and secondary school only.

I loved my music class in secondary school - for our midterm and final tests, we had to form a group of at least four and perform a particular song that we chose ourselves. It was so much fun.

5. Do you think it is necessary for children to have music classes?

In my opinion, children should always have music classes. Music has been scientifically proven to have positive influences on one’s way of thinking and feeling, so it will do people good if they can experience music from an early age.

6. What do you think of Vietnamese traditional music?

It’s not really to my taste, to be honest. I literally cannot listen to conventional kinds of music such as “ca tru”, “cai luong” or “cheo”. I like listening to songs created during the war though. Maybe because my dad was a soldier, he often told me stories about his years in the army and so I can somehow relate deeply to those kinds of songs.

7. How much time do you spend listening to music every day?

It depends. I often listen to music when I’m doing the housework or when I’m on the bus. At that time, I feel like I can immerse myself in my world. When I need to concentrate on school work, I don’t listen to music as it can cause some real unwelcome distractions.

8. What is your favorite kind of music?

I don’t have a particular taste in music. I can listen to everything as long as it sounds good to me. Still, I can hardly listen to traditional Vietnamese music, some country folk songs, and several tracks belonging to the classical genre.

9. When did you start listening to this type of music?

The first time I heard a rock song was when my dad turned on the TV and there was a performance of a famous rock band in Vietnam called “Buc Tuong”. It was amazing. I started searching for more songs from the Vietnamese band and pieces belonging to the same genre, and have decided ever since that rock music would be a part of my spiritual life.

10. How do you feel when you listen to music?

Relaxed and free, I guess. Music, to me, is a way of hiding from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I listen to music when under a lot of pressure, and I just feel so fine. It’s the feeling of finally coming home after years and years of living far away, I think.

 

Staying up

1. Do you go to sleep early or stay up late?

I’m not a morning person. I like staying up past midnight. My brain seems to hit a second wind around 9 PM. I’m wide awake and full of energy. I just can’t waste something like that!

2. What do you do when you stay up late?

Well from 9 PM onwards, I have a peaceful time in the house. That is good for me to look for statistics, search on the internet, and go around using Google Maps. I enjoy those late hours.

3. How do you feel when you have stayed up late the night before?

As I’ve said, I am not a morning person so I find it comfortable staying up late and working at night.

 

Jewelry

1. Do you often wear jewelry?

I wear jewelry pretty much every day or at the very least every other day. I believe that jewelry is an accessory that a lot of people don’t take the time to acquire and it’s one thing that allows you to make your outfits stand out and more unique to you.

2. What type of jewelry do you like?

I always have my earrings and a watch on every day in addition to sometimes throwing on a necklace now and then.

3. Why do you think some people wear a piece of jewelry for a long time?

I think each has its reasons. In most cases, if people get attached to a particular piece of jewelry, there might be a story behind it. It could be a symbol of something they cherish or a gift from someone they love. Or sometimes people keep wearing the same item of jewelry just out of habit. They get accustomed to it after a while and are too lazy to change for the new one so there it stays.

 

Small business

1. Are there many small businesses in the place where you live?

Well, I know very little about small companies around my place. But I remember there are some startup companies that I have come across on the way to school but I don’t know what kind of products or services that they are offering because those businesses specialize in something that I don’t know about.

2. Do you prefer to buy things from a small business or a large company?

It depends actually. I mean, I would go for a big brand company if I needed to buy some essential products like skincare or makeup products. However, for some items like clothes or accessories, I would love to choose products from small companies as long as the quality is good.

 

Weekends

1. What do you usually do on weekends?

Well, anything. I’m supposed to do chores on Saturday and it takes me hours.

On Sunday, I usually schedule a meeting with my friends. We mostly just eat out, drink craft beers and play board games, but we occasionally watch a movie or go to an event in the city.

2. Would you say weekends are essential to us?

Yes, I could say that weekends are essential. Weekends give us the chance to improve ourselves as people rather than continually improving our professional skills, to spend time with friends and family, and to plan a weekend trip to a nearby place. Thanks to weekends, we are more relaxed and productive when we go back to work.

3. Do you often go to the cinema on weekends?

I probably only go once every two or three months because I have less time now than I did when I was a student, and when I do have free time, I usually want to hang out with my friends and chat rather than sit down and watch films.

 

Technology

1. What technology do you often use, computers or mobile phones?

Well, my answer is both because I use both the laptop and mobile phone every day. My cellphone is a daily necessity for me, and I use it for phone calls, messaging,

 browsing the Internet, reading email, and other small jobs. However, the mobile phone is not convenient when it comes to word processing, so when I’m at work where I have more complicated projects or work, the computer is beneficial.

2. What electronic devices have you bought lately?

Well, I bought an Ipad last week and I just love it. I used to take my laptop to class to take notes, but it was too heavy and sometimes really inconvenient to carry all the time. Therefore, for me, the Ipad is a perfect alternative as it’s much lighter and more portable.

3. What’s the benefit of technology?

Well, I think technology has brought tremendous benefits to our lives. At the medical level,

technology can help treat more sick people and consequently save many lives and combat harmful viruses and bacteria. For companies, progress in implementing strategic technology trends is helping them save time and therefore, money. Similarly, global tourism has grown.

 

Neighbor

1. Do you know your neighbors?

Yes, of course, I do. People in my neighborhood know each other quite well, and all of them are very friendly and lovable. The family living next to my house is always willing to offer assistance when we need and so is my family.

2. Do you like your neighbors?

Well yes, I love them, because they are good neighbors. The family next door has a grandmother whom I respect, as she always gives me helpful advice. I think that we live in harmony with one another.

3. What do you think of your neighbors?

As I have said, they are warm-hearted people. They receive a lot of affection and admiration for their kindness and generosity. I think it is pretty good fortune for my family to live next to them.

4. How often do you see (or talk to) your neighbors?

I think very often. Each morning, we frequently greet when we meet each other. Whenever I am not occupied with schoolwork, I visit my grandmother to talk to her. Her life experience and advice have helped me to overcome many difficulties and challenges.

5. When do you meet your neighbors?

We meet every day since we live next to each other. Notably, at the weekends, the neighbors will gather in the most prominent house to hold a party or BBQ, which is very appealing to the children.
