Part 1

1. Riding a Bicycles
1. Do you like riding a bicycle?
Absolutely yes. I love all environmentally-friendly transportations like cycles or
electric trams. As these means of transport release no exhaust emissions into the
air, they can help to protect the environment. Besides, cycling is good for my
health.
2. Are there many young people riding bicycles in VietNam?
Not as many as in the past. Most young people prefer motorbikes since they’re
faster and more convenient. However, some still use bicycles, especially students
or those who enjoy cycling as a form of exercise.”

I would definitely cycle more in the future. With the increasing pollution, we need
to take action to reduce our impact on the environment. As a generation, we have a
responsibility to make a difference and create a sustainable future.
4. Do you think bicycles would do well in your city?
Bicycles could be great here, but the chaotic traffic and lack of bike lanes make it
challenging. If the city improves the infrastructure, I’m sure cycling will become
more popular, especially for short distances.”

2. Talking with others

1. Do you like to talk to others?

along with. Conversations can be really interesting and fun. It's a great way to
share ideas and stay connected. Plus, talking helps me relax and unwind.
2. Did you like to talk to others when you were a child?
Yes, I was quite talkative as a child. I loved interacting with others, especially my
friends and family. I enjoyed telling stories, asking questions, and learning from
others through conversation. I think being talkative as a child helped me develop
my social skills and curiosity about the world around me.
3. Do you talk a lot to others?

Yes, I really enjoy watching funny movies because they help me relax and take a
break from my studies. Comedy films are a great way to relieve stress and improve
my mood.

I'd say it depends on the situation. Sometimes, I find it easy to make others laugh,
especially if I'm telling a funny story or sharing a joke. However, there are times
when it's more challenging, especially if I'm in a formal setting or if the humor
doesn't quite resonate with the people around me. Overall, I enjoy making people
laugh and seeing their reactions.
3. Do you think it’s a good thing if you always make others laugh?
I don't think it's a good thing if you always make others laugh. It depends on the
circumstances. For example, if the people nearby need to concentrate or are in a
serious setting, making them laugh can be disruptive and unprofessional. There
would be many downsides to that situation.
4. When was the last time you laughed?
The last time I laughed was just yesterday when I watched a funny video online. It
was a hilarious prank, and it really made my day. I've laughed a lot recently
because I've been spending time with friends who have a great sense of humor, and
we always end up sharing funny stories and jokes.

5. Streets and Roads

1. Are the roads and streets in the area where you live busy?

walking or cycling when you want to avoid the hustle and bustle.

people just cross wherever they can, which can be a bit dangerous.
3. How is the condition of the roads in your city?
- Sample 1: Overall, not bad, but there's definitely room for improvement. Most
major roads are in decent shape, though you'll find the occasional pothole. The real

rush hour, the main arteries get pretty congested, which isn't great for the road
surface.
4. Do you think the roads in your city need improvement?
Absolutely. While they're functional, there's a lot we could do better. I'd love to
see more cycling lanes to encourage eco-friendly transport. Improving traffic flow

fixing what we have, but rethinking our road systems for the future.
