the time everyone is so rushed off their feet that there’s not much time for this kind of thing. But
family parties are the perfect excuse to catch up with loved ones and visit relatives that you
might not have seen for several months, or even years. For instance, we invite our relatives,
friends, colleagues /ˈkɑː.liːɡ/ and neighbors to our house to rejoice a family member’s birthday,
engagement, marriage anniversary or graduation day.
5. Which country's food do you like the most?
-> I have a profound passion for Viet Nam cuisine /kwɪˈziːn/. Most Vietnamese meals are light
yet full of flavor, featuring broths and light sauces that don’t leave you bloated. Vietnam food is
so healthy and it’s easy to find anywhere. That’s why Vietnam became well-known for its street
food. Moreover, VN food is very diverse, not repeat a dish and the price is very cheap.
6. Do you think historical movies are educational? Why? /Why not?
->Yes. I thoroughly believe that historical movies are educational as it allows students to easily
visualize the event and you can bet a student will be more willing to pay attention to a movie
than an essay or questions you set him/ her for homework. This is a very effective way to quickly
convey a lot of information to a wide student in a captivating and entertaining manner. Of
course, there are some exceptions, if a ‘historical’ movie is blatantly incorrect in its historical
information, then this will paint the wrong picture to the students and source them with incorrect
information
7. Would you say your country is a good place for travelers to visit? Why?

its rich and diverse culture. The way the people in Viet Nam welcome others with such a warm
heart is tremendous /trɪˈmen.dəs/ to be felt. Vietnamese people are always very hospitable /hɑː
ˈspɪt̬ .ə.bəl/ , entertaining visitors from foreign countries with fine arts and dance as well as some
good food. They’re eager to welcome visitors to experience Vietnamese culture and customs
while gaining more knowledge about foreign countries.
8. What do you do to stay healthy?
-> Health is our most valuable property which makes our life happier and more enjoyable. I
believe that everyone has their own methods to keep them healthy. And this is my own methods
in staying healthy. First, I have a reasonable diet. I eat more nutrition food, low-fat diet with lots
of fruits, vegetables instead of eat fast food and using carbonated drinks. Besides, I do exercise
for 30 minutes every morning such as jogging, walking or riding bicycle to keep fit.
Additionally, I sleep enough 8 hours in everyday because sleep is very important. As well, I also
keeping off bad habits and taking medical examinations regularly.
9. How do you communicate with someone who is in another place/country?

->I usually use English to communicate because English is a common language and is used
almost everywhere in the world. So English is bound to be important. Besides, I also use sign
language or google translate if English is not common there. As another option, I can hire a
translator in the country I am visiting. As well, I might try learning at least a passable bit of a
language, enough to get me buy in typical situations. And appreciate face – avoid belittling
others or causing them discomfort.
->Nowadays as far as technology goes /ɡoʊz/. It will easy to communicate with people who is in
another places, country. The grown up of internet, smartphone, laptop, ipad, social app such as
fb, zalo, Instagram…can bring us come closer together. If I miss my friend or relatives who live
in another country now, just pick up my phone and make a phone call or video call to her, after
that we talk for a few hours or we can type to chat to each other. I also can meet and make new
friends through social network, I use English to communicate with them because English is used
to almost everywhere in the world. This helps me improve my English a lot

10. What was the best/ worst day in your life?

->Best day? Probably my 18th birthday. Turning 18 officially marks the end of childhood. Now I
am an adult /əˈdʌlt/, I ready to make decisions, and take responsibility for my own life. I can vote,
do everything I want ‐ and drink down the pub! Sounds exciting, right? Well, it’s also a little bit
scary. Until yesterday, I leaned on my parents and made only a few decisions on my own, and
now I am supposed to do things independently.
