Lessons 5–8: Interview questions

❑ What do you like about one of your oldest friends?

❑ How did your father or mother get interested in their line of business?

My father became interested in his line of business quite early on. He grew up in a family where
entrepreneurship was highly valued—his parents ran a small local shop, so he was exposed to the
challenges and rewards of business from a young age. This early experience sparked his curiosity
and motivation to start something of his own. Later, when he was choosing a career path, he
decided to pursue business because he enjoyed solving problems and interacting with people.
Over time, his passion grew as he saw the positive impact his work had on customers and the
community.
❑ What would you say to a person at a party if you know her face from somewhere but don’t
know her name?

In that situation, I’d try to start a conversation in a polite and casual way. I might say something
like, “Hi, sorry to bother you, but you look really familiar. Have we met before?” This gives the
person a chance to respond without putting them on the spot. If they recognize me too, it could
naturally lead to us figuring out where we’ve seen each other. I think it’s better to be honest
rather than pretending I remember everything—it keeps the atmosphere friendly and respectful.
❑ Are you up for going out this Saturday night?

Well, it really depends on how my week goes. If I’ve had a stressful or busy week, I might prefer
to stay in and relax. However, if I feel energetic and free from responsibilities, I’d definitely be
up for going out. I enjoy spending time with friends and trying new places, especially if there’s
good food or music involved. Going out can be a great way to unwind and recharge, but I also
value having some quiet time to myself. So I’d say it depends on my mood and schedule.
❑ How does a walk in the park sound?

A walk in the park sounds really lovely, especially if the weather is nice. It’s a great way to relax,
get some fresh air, and clear your mind. Sometimes, when I’m feeling stressed or stuck in front
of a screen for too long, going for a walk helps me recharge and think more clearly. Plus, parks
often have beautiful scenery, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. So overall, I’d
say a walk in the park is a simple but effective way to unwind.
❑ What is your favorite teacher like?

My favorite teacher was my high school English teacher. She was incredibly passionate about
literature and had a very engaging way of teaching. What made her stand out was her ability to
connect with students—she treated us with respect and always encouraged us to express our
ideas, even if they were different from her own. She was also very supportive and approachable,
so we felt comfortable asking questions or seeking help. Thanks to her, I developed a strong
interest in reading and writing, which has stayed with me ever since.

❑ What kinds of social media do you participate in?

❑ What’s something a lot of other people like but you don’t?

One thing that many people enjoy but I don’t particularly like is watching reality TV shows.
While these programs are very popular and often entertaining for others, I find them a bit
superficial and sometimes even stressful to watch. I prefer content that’s more informative or
creatively inspiring, like documentaries or well-written dramas. Reality shows often focus on
drama and conflict, which doesn’t really appeal to me. So, even though they’re widely loved,
they’re just not my cup of tea.
❑ How do you like to use the Internet?

Lessons 9–12: Interview questions

❑ Are there any foods that you eat every day?

❑ What would you think about trying a more vegetarian diet?

❑ What’s an improvement you’ve made in your life?

❑ I decided to give a lot of my books to the public library. What do you think of that?

❑ What’s something you spend a lot of time doing?

❑ Do you ever get really tired because you don’t get enough sleep?

❑ Have you ever been up all night?

I have stayed up all night a few times, usually when I had an important deadline to meet, like a
school project or an exam the next day. One particular instance I remember was during my final
year at university. I had procrastinated a bit and ended up doing most of my research paper the
night before it was due. I stayed awake the entire night, drinking coffee and trying to stay
focused. Although I managed to finish it on time, I felt exhausted the next day and realized how
unhealthy that habit can be. Since then, I’ve tried to manage my time better so I don’t have to
pull all-nighters anymore.
❑ Do you think it’s good to use CFL bulbs?

Yes, I think using CFL bulbs is a good idea, mainly because they are more energy-efficient
compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. They consume less electricity and last longer, which
can help reduce both energy bills and environmental impact. However, I’ve also read that CFL
bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, so they need to be disposed of carefully to avoid
pollution. Overall, despite this drawback, I believe CFLs are a better option for saving energy
and protecting the environment, especially if people handle and recycle them properly.
❑ Do you do anything to reduce waste or to help the environment?

❑ How often do you use a plastic or paper take-out cup for coffee or soda?

I’d say I use plastic or paper take-out cups quite occasionally, maybe once or twice a week.
Usually, it happens when I’m in a hurry and grabbing coffee or a drink on the go. However, I’m
quite conscious about the environment, so whenever possible, I try to bring my own reusable
cup. Many cafes now even offer discounts if you use your own cup, which is a nice incentive.
Overall, I’m trying to reduce my use of disposable cups to help minimize waste.

❑ What’s your dream job?

❑ Have you ever had a job?

❑ Do you have any short-term goals?

❑ What kind of person are you in a work environment?

❑ What do you think are the most important qualities in a boss?

I believe the most important qualities in a boss include good communication skills, fairness, and
the ability to motivate their team. A boss should be clear and honest when giving instructions or
feedback, so employees know what’s expected of them. Fairness is crucial too, because it builds
trust and respect—everyone wants to feel they are treated equally. Lastly, a good boss should
inspire and encourage their team, creating a positive work environment where people feel valued
and motivated to do their best. When these qualities are present, it usually leads to higher
productivity and job satisfaction.
❑ What is your biggest weakness?

I think my biggest weakness is that I can sometimes be a bit of a perfectionist. I tend to spend too
much time trying to make sure everything is exactly right, which can slow me down or cause
unnecessary stress. However, I’m aware of this tendency and I’m working on finding a better
balance—focusing on doing things well, but also knowing when it’s okay to move on. Over time,
this approach has helped me become more efficient without compromising quality.

Lessons 21–24: Interview questions

❑ What is your favorite movie about?

Crashlanding country
❑ Have you seen any movies that you really disliked?

Yes, I have seen a few movies that I didn’t enjoy. One example was a recent thriller that I found
overly predictable and slow-paced. The plot felt cliché, and the characters weren’t very well
developed, which made it hard for me to stay interested. Sometimes, even if a movie has good
actors or high production values, if the story isn’t engaging, it can really disappoint me. That
said, I usually try to watch a variety of films because even if one movie doesn’t appeal to me,
others might be really good.
❑ Who is a singer you like, and what do you like about this singer?

Noi ve emma waston

❑ What kind of music do you have the most of?

I have the most music from the pop and indie genres in my collection. I really enjoy pop because
it’s catchy and upbeat, which is great for boosting my mood or keeping me energized throughout
the day. At the same time, I like indie music because it often feels more personal and creative,
with unique sounds and meaningful lyrics. Having a mix of both helps me match my music to
different moods and situations, whether I want something lively or something more relaxed.
❑ Is there any trend right now that you don’t like?

❑ What’s something that is out of style?

I think one thing that is definitely out of style nowadays is wearing extremely baggy jeans. A few
years ago, they were really popular, especially among younger people, but now the trend has
shifted towards more fitted or slim-cut jeans. People seem to prefer clothes that look a bit neater
and more tailored. Of course, fashion is always changing, so what’s out of style today might
come back again in the future. But at the moment, very loose or overly baggy jeans are less
common and considered outdated by many.
❑ Do you know a lot of personal information about any celebrities?

❑ Have you heard about any scandals in the news this year?

❑ Do you know about any famous person who has gotten married or divorced or broken up
with a boyfriend or girlfriend recently? Nois ve cap ben thai sau chuyen thuy si
