2. What's your father like?
My father is a strong person; he always protects and shelters us from any
difficult circumstances. He is also someone who often gives us
meaningful advice. He is very kind-hearted and always helps others when
they are in trouble. Even though he doesn't say it, I know my father loves
us deeply.
3. What's your mother like?
My mother is a gentle, kind, and caring person. She has always been
thoughtful, and caring for us from childhood to adulthood. She is always
concerned about everything—our food, rest, and studies—with great
attention to detail. My mother also has a compassionate heart; she often
helps those around her, so everyone who knows her loves and admires
her.
4. I have two brothers and one sister. They are all older than me. They
love me very much and always wish the best for me. We are very united,
so my parents are really happy about that.
5. No, I don’t live alone. I live with my family, which includes my wife
and two children: a son and a daughter. They are well-behaved, and every
day, our family spends time playing together after school and work. For
me, every day is full of happiness with them.
PART 1: COMMUNICATION/MOBILE PHONES
1. I usually keep in touch with my family by spending quality time
together. We make sure to play and talk with each other every day after
work and school. With my siblings, I often video call them through Zalo.
In fact, the development of social media has made it much easier to build
relationships, especially with family.
2. I prefer to speak to my family by phone, especially through video calls
on Zalo. It helps us stay connected and maintain a close relationship, even
when we're apart. For me, seeing their faces and hearing their voices
makes the conversation feel more personal and meaningful. Emails are
useful, but for daily communication with my loved ones, phone calls
work best
3. Yes, I have written letters by hand before. Writing by hand makes the
message feel more personal and meaningful. I remember writing letters to
my family and friends on special occasions, like birthdays or holidays, as
a way to express my feelings in a heartfelt manner. In today’s digital age,
it’s rare, but I still think it's more intimate and thoughtful.
4. Nowadays, a phone is an essential and useful tool in life. I use it for
many tasks, especially to stay in touch with my loved ones. Because of
this, I use my phone very frequently.
5. Yes, of course. My mobile phone is a smartphone, which is sleek and
modern, with a large, high-resolution screen. It has a great camera for
photos and videos, and it's very fast thanks to its powerful processor. The
battery lasts all day, and it’s easy to use for everything from browsing the
web to social media. Overall, it’s a reliable and stylish phone that fits my
needs perfectly.
PART 1: MUSIC

Yes, I really enjoy music. It's something that I listen to every day,
whether I'm working, relaxing, or even exercising. Music has the power
to change my mood and help me focus, so it's an essential part of my
daily life.
2. What kind of music do you like best?
I really enjoy listening to Vietnamese romantic ballad. It’s a genre that
focuses on deep emotions and beautiful melodies, often reflecting themes
of love, and longing. The lyrics are usually heartfelt and poetic, and they
have a way of resonating with my feelings. I find it very relaxing and
soothing, especially after a long day.
3. What are the benefits of listening to music?
Listening to music has many benefits. It can help reduce stress and
anxiety, making it a great way to unwind after a long day. Music also has
the power to boost your mood and motivation, especially if you're feeling
down or tired. Additionally, music can improve concentration and focus,
which is why many people listen to it while working or studying.
PART 1: TRANSPORTATION
1. How do you get to work/school?
I usually get to work on my motorbike. It's the most convenient option for
me because I live near my workplace. I prefer riding because it gives me
more flexibility with my schedule and allows me to avoid crowded public
transport.
2. What's your favourite means of transport?
My favorite means of transport is the motorbike. It's fast, convenient, and
ideal. I also love that it’s more environmentally friendly compared to a
car, and it's much easier to park. I find it very practical for both work and
leisure, especially on short trips.
3. Do you often use public transport?
Yes, I do use public transport, but not very often. I mainly use the bus
when I need to go somewhere that’s a bit farther away or when I want to
avoid traffic jams. It's affordable and convenient, especially during rush
hours when driving can be stressful. However, I prefer using my
motorbike for daily commuting.
