1 what kind of challenge would you like?

Challenges play a significant role in personal growth and help us discover our potential. Today, i want to share the type of
challenge I would like to take on. It is learning a new language. There are several reasons why I choose that challenge. The first
one is that I can develop myself. During the time I have been learning English, I have felt myself developing a lot , especially in
term of confidence. I study in a dynamic and active environment, which means I must motivate myself to step out my comfort
zone. I have to use English as a second language to communicate with lecturers and friends , so it is a chance for me to improve
my confidence and English speaking skill.The second one, learning a new language is like setting a new goal to strive for. It
means I must be more disciplined and stricter in managing time and studying harder. I usually spend most of my time on
activities helps me improve more in studying rather than doing useless ones. For example, instead of spending most of my time
playing game or wandering aimlessly on Ticktock, I tend to spend time in my initial goal, improving my English skills. .
Overcoming this challenge will not only enhance my personal development but also prepare me for future success. This is because
language is very essential in life, especially in the field of education . Therefore, it can help me find a sustainable job at English
centers or schools . As a result, I will be able to achieve financial independence with a salary sufficient to take care of myself and
my parents.
To sum up, learning a new language is challenging , but it offers numerous advantages .It not only pushes personal growth, set a
goal to stive for but also creates job opportunities
Do you like studying in groups or studying by yourself
. Personally, I prefer studying alone to studying in a group for several reasons. Firstly , it helps reduce distractions. Honestly, I
enjoy talking with my classmates, so when we study together , we will talk about many topics unrelated to studying . Therefore , it
is easy to waste time and lose focus. Studying alone suits my personality best because it allows me to concentrate fully and use my
time to study effectivelly.. For example, when my classmates and I study together, we often talk about our family stories, or
someone might need to answer the phone, or someone else may need to buy water or food. These interruptions lead to distractions,
and as a result, our studying performance declines.
++
Secondly, studying by myself helps avoid differences of opinion. Learning in a group often leads to disagreements, so studying
alone allows me to stick to my viewpoint and develop my ideas deeply without anyone dismissing them. For example, if you
present your idea and believe it’s a good one, but others disagree, you may struggle to develop your own thoughts and might
depend on others’ idea instead. Therefore, learning alone helps me develop our ideas comprehensively, increases my creativity,
enhances independence and enables me to stand firm my opinions.
To sum up, studying by myself is a good choice for me. It not only helps reduce distractions , but it also helps avoid differences
of opinion. I believe that doing what suits me best will lead to better results

Do you think there are any advantages to have a grandparent living with the family?

Personally, I believe there are many advantages to living with our grandparents.

One of the advantages is that grandparents can help take care of your children. If you are a single parent or
a busy person, you may have very little time to look after your children comprehensively because you have
to work to earn money. In such ca0ses, living with grandparents can lessen the burden, allowing you to
focus on your work with peace of mind, knowing your children are being cared for safely and thoughtfully.
For example, my parents are divorced, so I have lived with my father and grandmother since I was born. My
father is the breadwinner of the family, so he focuses on working to earn money and doesn't have much time
to care for me. Fortunately, my grandmother has been taking care of me all this time. She is very dedicated,
which allows my father to feel assured and lessens his burden even more.

Secondly, living with our grandparents gives us the opportunity to show our gratitude for all they’ve done
for us. As they get older, we can live with them to bring them happiness to keep them always optimistic, and
provide the support they need. It also makes it easier to take care of them, whether it’s looking after their
health, finding out what food they want to eat, or taking them to places they enjoy. For example, I’ve lived
with my grandmother since I was born, and as she gets older, she’s happy to have me by her side. I usually
talk with her, sleep with her, and take her wherever she wants to go. I also pay close attention to her health,
so I can spot when she's unwell and help her get the medicine she needs.

To sum up, there are many advantages to living with our grandparents, such as helping with childcare,
giving us the opportunity to show gratitude. It is truly wonderful to have the chance to care for our
grandparents and our parents
Do you think people worry more about their health as they get older?

Yes, I do think so. As people grow older, they witness loved ones, friends, or peers struggle with
serious health problems makes them even more worried. This is especially true as people around them
develop serious conditions such as high 0blood pressure, diabetes, or cardiovascular problems,
prompting thvem to pay greater attention to their own health. They begin changing bad habits, eating
healthier, and engaging in physical and mental activities. For example, they start going to bed earlier
to maintain overall well-being, as sleep plays a crucial role in comprehensive health. Moreover, they
avoid consuming beer, alcohol, and cigarettes, and they reduce fat in their diets. Specifically, they
exercise regularly and practice meditation to enhance both their physical and mental health.

Older people usually care more about their health because they desire longevity and good health,
allowing them to enjoy life and take care of their families. This is a natural desire, as they realize that
good health enables them to participate in their favorite activities and stay close to their
grandchildren. The desire to live longer often motivates them to focus more on maintaining healthy
habits, eating properly, exercising regularly, and undergoing health check-ups. For example, they
want to stay healthy to spend time with their grandchildren or friends, so they will join a health club
to improve both their physical and mental well-being.

To sum up, older people become more concerned about their health because they Witness people
around them struggle with serious health problems makes them more worried and they desire for
longevity and good health .

How technology is affecting the current society?

Technology is dramatically influencing modern society. In terms of education, technology has made significant contributions.
Students can learn online without the need to travel frequently, and they can seek help from AI tools such as ChatGPT and
Gemini. This makes studying easier and helps address challenges in learning. As a result, students become more passionate about
studying and make daily progress.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, thanks to the internet and smartphones, teachers could teach students via platforms like Zoom or
Google Meet. This allowed students to stay at home and avoid direct interaction with others. It ensured that students' learning was
not interrupted during the pandemic, and the progress of education was not delayed.

In terms of communication and connection, technology has brought considerable changes to our lives. Nowadays, we can quickly
connect and communicate with each other via social media platforms like Facebook, Messenger, and Zalo. This allows us to
maintain strong bonds with loved ones and close friends, tackle problems efficiently, and make new friends online.
As a result, our lives have become more convenient since we no longer need to schedule appointments to handle minor matters—
we can simply make a call. It is also more enjoyable because we can talk with family and friends even when we are far away.
Furthermore, it has become more exciting as we can meet new people and chat with them.
For example, thanks to Zalo, we can easily contact others to handle or announce important issues quickly. Besides, we can post
memorable moments from our lives to preserve them as souvenirs.

In conclusion , technology has a dramatic impact on our current society , espectially , in terms of education and communication
and connection

How money is important to you

Personally, money is very important to me. The first reason is that it helps
me pursue my ambition, which is achieving a master’s degree. I want to
explore more knowledge and experiences. If I had a lot of money, I would
continue studying without worrying much about tuition fees, commuting
costs, or living expenses. Money enables me to achieve this goal, allowing me
to develop further in terms of education. As a result, I can contribute to
society with valuable contributions based on the knowledge and experience I
have gained.

The second reason is that I can do good things for the people I love. I truly
want to care for the people I love, such as my parents, my partner, and my
friends. I want to bring them a happy and peaceful life. Therefore, if I had a
great deal of money, I would spend it on health services for my parents,
covering their living costs, and taking them on trips to enjoy life. For my
partner, we could enjoy life together in the most wonderful places in the
world, savor the most delicious dishes, and contribute to society by doing
valuable things together. For my friends, if I had a lot of money, I would
help improve their lives. We could visit the places we have always dreamed
of, exploring the most breathtaking landscapes together

In short, money is very important to me because it allows me to pursue my


dreams and care for the people I love. And it would be greater if I had much
money now.
What personalities does a famous person have ?

Famous people often have kindness and empathy or friendly personality .These are good qualities that
can touch the hearts of others.

The first quality is kindness and empathy. For example, President Hồ Chí Minh was a leader with a big
heart. During the war against the French, when Vietnam was very poor, he cared deeply about the people
and soldiers. Once, he was invited to eat a big meal with many delicious dishes. He refused and said: "The
people are still suffering; I cannot eat well by myself." Instead, he ate plain rice with some pickled
vegetables, just like the ordinary people. This simple act showed his care for others’ struggles and his wish
to share in their difficulties. It touched many people’s hearts and made them love and respect him even
more.

The second quality is friendliness. For example, Khánh Vy, a host and YouTuber, is loved by many peple
for being friendly and open with her fans. During livestreams or events, she always chats happily with her
audience, answers their questions, and shares funny or personal stories to make them feel comfortable.
Once, a fan asked:
"Chị Vy, how can I learn English as well as you?"
Khánh Vy kindly answered:
"I also made many mistakes while learning, but the important thing is not to give up. Just try a little every
day, and you’ll get better!"
Her kind and encouraging words helped many people feel motivated to keep learning.

In summary, famous people often show kindness and empathy or are friendly . These qualities bring good
things to society and help build a better community.

Do you think modern technological inventions will replace human teachers?

I don’t think modern technological inventions will replace human teachers for 2 main reasons.
First, human teachers are very important because they can understand students’ feelings and create strong
bonds with them. Learning is not just about getting knowledge but also about feeling supported and
confident. Teachers can sense when a student is having a hard time, either with their emotions or their
studies, and they know how to help in a kind and personal way. For example, if a student feels upset after
failing a test, a teacher might say kind words, give advice on how to improve, or even help them study after
class. This kind of care makes students trust their teachers and feel valued. A machine, no matter how smart,
cannot understand feelings or give real comfort. Teachers make the classroom a safe and friendly place,
which helps students try harder and believe in themselves.

Secondly, education is not just about giving knowledge—it’s also about teaching good values and inspiring
students to love learning. Teachers are role models who show important qualities like kindness, patience,
and hard work through what they do and say. For example, when a teacher stays calm and patient while
explaining something hard, students learn how to stay calm and not give up. Also, when a teacher shares a
story about how they faced a problem, like failing their first job interview but working harder to succeed
later, it inspires students to stay positive and keep trying. Unlike machines, teachers use real-life experiences
to make lessons more meaningful. This human connection is very important for helping students become
stronger and find meaning in what they learn, which machines cannot do.

modern technological inventions won’t replace human because they can understand students’ feelings and create strong bonds
with them , and they can teach good values and inspire students to love learning

What do you think the most common crime in your country ?

In Vietnam, one of the most common crimes is theft, like pickpocketing and bag snatching. These crimes
happen a lot in busy places like markets, buses, or tourist spots, where it’s easy for thieves to steal without
being seen.

The reason why theft happens so much is that Many people carry valuable items like phones or wallets,
making them easy targets for thieves. These criminals often grab the items quickly and run away before
anyone notices

The impact of theft is significant. When someone steals your wallet , you may lose money and it’s a big
struggle to replace things like your ID or credit cards. Even worse, thieves can use your personal
information to pretend to be you and make fraudulent purchases. As a result, you will have to spend a lot of
time and effort to fix the problem. You may need to contact the police, cancel your credit cards, and order
new IDs. This can be very stressful and time-consuming
To reduce theft, the government and local authorities need to take steps to improve security,
particularly in busy public places. Increasing police presence in crowded areas can help deter
criminals. Also, cities could install more surveillance cameras in high-risk areas to help catch
criminals and prevent theft. Simple actions like keeping wallets in front of pockets, using
anti-theft bags, or staying alert in crowded places can make a big difference.

In conclusion, theft is a common crime in Vietnam, especially in busy areas. By making places safer,
installing more surveillance cameras in high-risk areas, and paying more attention to our surroundings, we
can reduce the risk of theft. These actions will help protect people and make communities feel safer.

A type of group activities I took part in is family activities.

One of the activities I really enjoy doing with my family is cooking together. It’s a fun way to bond while
learning new recipes, and it also allows us to share responsibilities in a way that brings everyone together.
For example, last month, we baked a large chocolate cake for my grandmother’s birthday. It wasn’t just
about making a cake; it was about creating something meaningful for someone we care about. We all
participated—my father handled the recipe and ensured everything was measured correctly, while I helped
mix the ingredients and decorate the cake. After we finished, we all enjoyed the cake together to celebrate
my grandmother's birthday . It was a great way to spend time together, and it made the occasion even more
memorable.

Another activity that has brought my family closer is going on vacations together. Last year, we went on a
road trip to the beach. We spent the weekend enjoying the sunshine, swimming, and exploring new places.
We also took lots of pictures , making the trip more enjoyable. Family vacations give me the opportunity to
escape from the daily work and focus on creating lasting memories. It helps me appreciate the value of
spending quality time with each other and also allows me to relax and recharge.

From these activities, I’ve learned how important it is to make time for my family and cherish those
moments. Both cooking together and going on vacations create opportunities for bonding and building
strong family connections.
