1. Talk about the traffic problem in the city and how to solve them?
A growing population, growing number of vehicles and narrow streets are the main factors
causing traffic jam and accidents in the city.
In addition to that, the majority of government companies as well as private companies are
located in the South of City and there are only 2 -3 narrow bridges connecting the north and south
area. This delays the traveling time of residents every day.
To solve this problem, the local authority should set the different timings for commuters owning
car and motorbikes. Those residents staying in central area and traveling by car to office. The
local authority should also look at the possibility of widening main roads in the center. Teenagers
below 18 years old are not allowed to use motorbikes to go to school.

2. Talk about the weather in Vietnam:

In general, Vietnam is a country having lots of rain, high humidity and temperature during the
year. However weather pattern is different across regions due to the geography. In the south of
VN, weather is stable with rainy and sunny seasons. In mid Vietnam, weather is not as stable as
the weather in the south, temperature can reach 39-40 degree Celsius, and the monsoon starts in
Jun & July, in winter temperature can be at 10 degree Celsius. In the north, it is the region with
the lowest temperature in the winter compared to South and mid Vietnam , however it is cooler in
the summer compared to other regions.

3. Talk about hobbies:

My hobbies are watching tivi, playing with my children and enjoying food cooked by my Mom.
Firstly, watching movies such as action, romantic movies and comedies, I am amazed how actors
and actresses play their roles. My favorite movie is The Sound of music. It is a very old film, was
 produced in 1986 if I remember correctly. I also like watching music concerts for example soft
and slow music. I do not really like any singers however I like their songs. Secondly, playing with
my 3 year old son and 9 month old daughter is my happiest moment as I feel relaxed and do not
think about other worrying things in life. After 8 hours working hard, I i come home
and seeing my children is the happy thing, I do not feel tired at all. Lastly, I enjoy cooking, before
LAstly, i enjoy cooking, before marriage i did not like cooking but now i like cooking a lotfor people
I love such as my husband, children, parents and brother.

4. What means of transport do you prefer? Why?

I prefer to ride a scooter (motorbike) going to work as it is more convenient and cost-savings than
owning a car. You will not feel comfortable when riding two-wheel vehicle under the rain or during
winter however scooter (motorbike) suits the road condition in a city where it often has bad traffic.

5. What are the causes of air pollution in our big cities? What should we do to reduce air pollution?

Main causes of air pollution in big cities are:

- CO2 carbon dioxide emission from vehicles with high increase number of vehicles
every year
- CO2 emissions from factories and industries increase due to a growing economy
- Cutting down trees and destroy forests
- Fluorocarbons produced by air conditioner and fridges
To reduce air pollution:
- Government should control the number of vehicles
- Advise people to use electrical (hybrid) cars, motorbikes
- Stop/prevent people cutting down the trees
- Encourage people to plant trees on any empty land
- Control CO2 emission from factories that they cannot exceed the CO2 limit

disadvantages?

Advantages of Internet are:

engine like Y! and Google
- Entertainment including music, movies, video games, chat rooms..and others can be
accessed through internet
- People can do online business on Internet.
- Services are offered via Internet such as : job search, hotel reservation, buying movie

8. Talk about your last holiday.

My last holiday was in Singapore with my younger sister and brother. I really enjoyed the short
time staying in the richest and fast-paced country of South-east Asia. I tried lots of local food and
 visited lots of attraction places such as Botanical garden, the zoo, the music lazer show by the
beach. Singapore is the destination of shopping; I bought lots of souvenir gifts for friends as well.
Until now I still remember that fun holiday. I will go back there for holiday again. in 2008, i traveled
to Singapore with brother. We went to Singapore to visit our sister. My sister is working in
Singapore. We had happy holidays together .We went shopping and visited the Singapore zoo &
Botanical garden together. I like Singapore food very much. We had the pizza and Thai food and
so on. Until now I still remember that fun holiday.

9. Do you think teenagers should work? Why (not)

Teenagers should work so they can realize that earning money is not an easy job. They will
respect the money they earn or money received from parents. Furthermore, they can get
themselves to be familiar with environment outside of home and schools, and improve their
communication with different types of people in the society. Lastly the more important thing is
leaning how to be independent, so they will know how to face any issues when they are on their
own.

10. Where do you prefer to live? City or country?

I prefer to live in a city as city is more dynamic than the country. Country is where you can take a
break, get away from busy life and enjoy the quiet environment so it is more suitable for retired
people. While living in the city can get yourself more active with the environment and keep you
updated with other changes in the society. Living in the city can bring you opportunities to watch
sport activities and culture events.

11. Why are young people attracted to cities?

12. Which job do you like best ?

I want to become an actress, because the actress can play many roles with different characters.
Besides, actress can earn lots of money if she is famous. I do not feel confident, I do not feel
confident so i cannot become an actress
I am now an accountant. I hate my job, I am working just for money.

13. Why is it necessary to learn English?

It is necessary because it is commonly used around the world and it is used as the main
language in different occasions such as commerce, business, country's relations, and
communication between countries on any matters and so on.
Nowadays, fresh graduates or anyone applying for a job is required to be able to communicate
and write English if they want to work in foreign company. It is more convenient to search for
information on Internet as most of document resources are in English. It may give you an
opportunity to study in overseas. It allows to access information which is not yet updated by local
media. And it brings you more advantages than those who cannot speak English

14. What should you do to improve English?

 There are many ways to improve English, particularly reading English articles or books to improve
grammar and vocabulary, reading also helps you get familiar with common English sentence'
structure used by British therefore this method also makes your writing better. Next, watching
BBC or English speaking channels is to improve the listening skills so you will not have any
difficulties with listening to any foreigner speaking English.
Lastly, find opportunities to speak to foreigner as this is the fastest way to learn English.

15. Which sport are you interested? Why?

I like jogging as it brings me relaxation and helps me relieve stress after a tiring working day and
the most important thing is to keep me healthy. It is not an intensive sport which requires you to
focus and play hard, jogging helps my mind free from others. I always feel refreshed after jogging
and have enough energy for other activities of the day. I go jogging 5 times per week, each time I
spend 30mins to 1 hour jogging on small streets nearby my house

16. Why shouldnt we smoke?

Smoking is harmful and causes lots of health risks. Smoking can cause lung cancer, but it can
also cause cancers of the other organs in the body and illnesses. 90% of lung cancer deaths are
due to smoking cigarettes. In addition, someone smoking can affect other people around them. It
increases level of cholesterol in the blood therefore increasing the risks of heart attacks. Quitting
smoking is the only way to protect you and your family from dangerous diseases.

17. What things make you happy?

I am happy with little things in life, especially my kids stay healthy and are well-behaved. Family
cares for me. Playing with kids and spending time with my families are the most joyful moments
that I have ever had. Birthday wishes from friends really make me happy as well because I know
that there are many friends still think about me.

18. Do you think we can learn how to feel happier?

Yes, life is short so people should learn to be happy with what they have. Different people have
different standards of living, different needs however if they want to compare themselves with
others and try to be like them, they may waste their time and miss lots of important things in life.
Do not think about what has happened as this will not relax your mind, if you can forget what
mistakes you make, you feel happy. Spend more time with family and kids, this is the most
important to keep you happy and positive, you can earn less money than others but if you create
a good atmosphere around you, your family give you full of love, keep a good relationship with
colleagues, get on well with friends, these factors can keep you stay happy than anything else.

19. Do you think you still can be good friend with somebody when you live a long way? How do you
keep in touch with him or her.
Nen viet la : live a long way from each other
Yes, friendship does not mean you have to stay close to each other. Even they are staying far
from each other, as long as they still keep in touch by using phone, e-mail, asking for concerns,
try to understand each other and share their thoughts with each other, your friendship will last as
long as you want. People do not buy friends, which mean you do not have to buy gifts to keep
friends with you, as long as you give them encouragement, share the sadness; they will be by
your side when you need them.
 I often contact them via phone messages or e-mail, if there is any special occasion, I will call
him/her directly or send flowers or postcards is just to remind them that they always have a good
friend thinking about you.

20. How would you feel if you had to make a speech in front of hundreds of people? What should you
do?
Cau hoi duoc sua lai la:
....give a speech/deliver a speech....

21. Whats your favorite television programme?

22. How often do you text your friend? Or do you prefer to phone them?

I often send messages my friend from 3 to 4 times per week. The purpose is just asking for
concern or small matters. However I prefer to give them a call as I can catch up things with them
quicker and calling is easier to communicate.

23. Do you believe in life in other planets?

Until now scientists have not provided any proofs of like in other planets but I believe there is life
existing in other planets of universe and one day with the advanced technology, human can find
out.

24. What are your favorite types of food and drink?

I was born in the city which has lots of famous traditional food such as cakes in banana leaf, spicy
beef noodles and rice mixed with clams, peanut and vegetables
For food, I like seafood as it is healthier than red meat like beef or pork. Steamed and grilled
seafood are the best cooking method as you still can enjoy their original taste.
For drink, I like drinking all types of fresh juices as they are healthy and good for body and skin.
They provide different types of vitamins and it is so perfect to have a glass of orange/ water
melon juice/apple juice during summer.

Vietnam have lots of seafood especially Hue city because it is the city near the sea
Differenrent types of seafood are:
Steamed clams, grilled prawns
grilled prawns and fish
~squid...
~~t and so on
25. Any other types of food you don't eat? Which? Why not?

I do not eat meat of animals such as snakes, dogs, deer As these animals are under protection
so I find it cruel and illegal to eat animals that contribute to ecology balance. I am a Buddhist, I do
not eat meat of those animals
