13. Animals
● Do you like animals?

friendly to people. I have some pets at home and people also say that I’m an animal lover.
● Do you like to see animals in the zoo?
No, not really. I’m not fond of going to the zoo. This is because I feel sorry for the animals when
they can’t live in their natural habitat and have to be kept inside a cage and become something

entertaining for humans to watch. I used to go to the zoo when I was a kid but now I no longer go
there.
● Have you ever had a pet before?
Yes, actually, I’m keeping some pets at home, a puppy and a kitten. I’m crazy about playing with
them, feeding them and walking the dog. Whenever I spend time with them, I feel comfortable and
relaxed.

14. Weather

SY
● How’s the weather in your country?
Vietnam is a tropical climate country so it’s hot all year round. However, I live in the north of
Vietnam so we still have 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. I’m pretty interested in
the weather where I live.
● What’s your favourite season?

EA
I’m crazy about spring. This is due to the fact that the weather in spring is very pleasant. It’s cool,
humid because it drizzles all the time. Moreover, in spring, we have the biggest public holiday
which is Tet holiday. I have the longest break and I have a chance to relax and spend quality time
with my family.
● Does weather affect people’s feelings?
Yes, I definitely believe that weather can affect our feelings and emotions. For example, if it’s
P
sunny and warm, people feel more energetic and productive. In contrast, if it’s rainy and gloomy,
people tend to stay at home and feel bored.
TE

15. Houses
● Can you tell me about your house?
I live in a 3-storey house with my family. It’s quite spacious for our big family. Each of us have our
own room and the kitchen is very large because everyone in my family enjoys cooking. We also
VS

have a small garden and a big yard.

I definitely adore my bedroom the most. The reason for this is because I have my freedom and
privacy in my room. I can do whatever I want without interrupting other people. Besides, I also
decorate my room by myself so I also feel really cozy and comfortable when I spend time in my
room.

Hotline: 0988 215 886 - 0867 388 625 VSTEP Easy (T-English class)
No, I don’t. The reason why I don’t choose to live here in the future is because I want to be more
independent by moving out. I plan to move out after graduating from university and rent a flat near
my workplace. Besides, when you live alone, you also have more freedom and privacy and I love
that.

16. Health
● What do you do to keep fit and healthy?
I’m a person who is very concerned about health, so I always try my best to stay healthy. For
example, I try to have a healthy diet by eating more vegetables and fruits and avoid eating meat,

SY
oily and sugary food. In addition, I also spend 1 hour in the afternoon cycling in the park near my
house. If I don’t have a lot of work to do in the evening, then I will go to bed early.
● Do you do anything which is not healthy?
Yes. Sometimes, I stay up late. This is because a lot of things at work and school need to be
finished. Besides, I also don’t do medical check-ups regularly as I’m scared of going to the
hospital.

EA
● What do you think is more important, eating a healthy diet or doing exercise?
I don’t think either eating healthily or doing exercise is more important than the other one. You
need to combine both of them to have a good health condition. For example, if you work out at the
gym but still eat like a horse and even eat unhealthy food such as processed food, fast food, then
you can’t lose weight or become fit.
P
17. The Internet
TE

● How often do you go online?


I use the Internet on a daily basis. The reason I go online everyday is because I use it to serve my
job and my studies at school. Especially because of Covid-19, I have to switch all of my offline
classes into online classes.
● What do you use the Internet for?
VS

I use it for a lot of purposes. Firstly, I use it for my studies at school. Our school closes due to
Covid-19 and I have to learn online. Secondly, I use the Internet for my work. I’m a teacher so I
need to go online to search for teaching materials and I also work with my students through social
media and emails. Last but not least, I entertain myself by browsing the web, listening to music on
Youtube and watching films on the Internet.
● What’s your favourite website?

My favourite website is Youtube which is the biggest web to upload videos or watch other people’s
videos. The reason I’m a big fan of this website is that it’s extremely useful for both studying and
entertainment. For instance, I watch lesson videos online before class or in the evening I listen to
video music of my favourite singers.

18. Shopping
● Do you enjoy shopping?
Yes, I’m crazy about shopping. The reason for this is because it helps me to reduce stress after
work. I also go to the shopping mall near my house at the weekend to buy stuff that I need.

SY
● What do you often shop for?
I usually buy food and clothes. I’m a foodie and I’m also really into cooking, so I go to the market to
buy fresh ingredients every day. Moreover, as a woman, I’m also interested in fashion, so I love
going shopping for clothes and see what is trendy.

EA
● Do you like shopping online or offline?
I prefer online shopping because of some reasons. The first reason is because it’s very quick. You
can buy everything just with a click of the mouse and the stuff will be shipped to you. I’m very busy,
so online shopping is very time-saving.
The second reason is that you have more options on the Internet. You can almost find everything
on the Internet, from the smallest things to the very uncommon things. You also can buy from all
P
shops in the country and even in the world instead of just buying things from shops where you live.
