Part 1:

I. The Internet

Question 1: Do you use the internet very much? Answer: Yes, I'm heavily reliant on the
internet, particularly during my dissertation research. It's an indispensable tool for accessing
academic resources and staying updated with the latest developments in my field.

Question 2: How often do you use the internet? Answer: I'm constantly connected to the
internet, utilizing it for both recreational and professional purposes. It's an integral part of my
daily routine.

Question 3: How do you access the internet? Answer: I primarily access the internet via my
laptop or smartphone to conduct online research and explore digital content. The portability of
these devices allows me to stay connected wherever I go.

Question 4: Have you ever bought anything online? Answer: I'm a frequent online shopper,
often utilizing the Shopee marketplace to purchase a wide range of products. The convenience
and efficiency of e-commerce platforms have significantly transformed my shopping habits.

Question 5: Is the internet important to you? Answer: Undeniably, the internet is an


indispensable tool in my life. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, learn, and work,
offering countless opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Question 6: When did you first use the internet? Answer: I first ventured into the digital realm
during my high school years, primarily utilizing social media platforms such as Zing Me to
connect with friends and explore online communities.

Question 7: How did you learn to use the internet? Answer: I was primarily self-taught, relying
on online tutorials and resources to acquire digital literacy. The internet provides a wealth of
information and learning materials, making it an excellent platform for independent learning.

Question 8: Do you think the internet is a good thing? Answer: I firmly believe the internet is a
groundbreaking invention that has revolutionized human society. It has facilitated global
connectivity, accelerated innovation, and democratized access to information, empowering
individuals and communities worldwide.

II. Dentist

Question 1: How often do you go to the dentist? Answer: Unfortunately, I only visit the dentist
when I experience acute dental pain, such as a toothache. I understand the importance of regular
check-ups, but I often neglect preventive care due to fear and anxiety.

Question 2: Are you afraid of going to the dentist? Answer: Yes, I have a pronounced dental
phobia. Past traumatic experiences, such as a root canal and wisdom tooth extraction, have
instilled a deep-seated fear of dental procedures.

Question 3: Do you think it's important to visit the dentist regularly? Answer: Absolutely.
Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing serious dental
issues. Early detection and intervention can save time, money, and significant discomfort.
Question 4: At what age should children start going to the dentist? Answer: Ideally, children
should begin visiting the dentist as soon as their first tooth erupts. Early dental check-ups can
help establish good oral hygiene habits, identify potential problems, and alleviate any anxieties
associated with dental visits.

III. Wild Animal


IV. Exciting things

Question 1: Do you like to spend time by yourself or with your friends? Why? Answer: I find a
balance between solitary pursuits and social interactions equally fulfilling. While solitude
provides an opportunity for introspection and creativity, social connections nourish my
emotional well-being and broaden my perspectives.

Question 2: When was the last time you spent time by yourself? Answer: Just yesterday, I spent
a quiet evening alone, surfing the internet and immersing myself in my studies. It was a peaceful
opportunity to recharge and focus on my academic pursuits.

Question 3: Do you want to spend more time by yourself? Answer: While I value solitude, I
believe that fostering strong social connections is equally important. I strive for a harmonious
blend of both, where I can recharge my batteries through solitary activities and enrich my life
through meaningful social interactions.

V. Music

1. Do you like listening to music?

I love listening to music, especially US-UK. My favorite artists are Miley Cyrus and
Troye Sivan;

their songs always sound awesome to me.

2. When do you listen to music?

Basically I listen to music whenever I feel like doing so, but maybe I most often do that
before

going to sleep, when I’m on the bus, or when I don’t have any important tasks to work
on.

3. Did you learn instruments?

I didn’t take up any musical instruments, and haven’t still. I have always wanted to learn
to play

the piano ever since I was a kid, but never got the chance too. I’m planning on getting
some piano

lessons this summer.

4. Did you have any music classes in school?

I used to have music classes back when I was in primary school and secondary school
only. I really
loved my music class in secondary school - for our midterm and final tests, we had to
form a group

of at least four and perform a certain song that we chose ourselves. It was so much fun.

5. Do you think it is necessary for children to have music classes?

In my opinion, children should always have music classes. Music has been scientifically
proven

to have positive influences on one’s way of thinking and feeling, so it will do people
good if they

can experience music from an early age.

6. What do you think of Vietnamese traditional music?

It’s not really to my taste, to be honest. I literally cannot listen to traditional kinds of
music such

as “ca tru”, “cai luong” or “cheo”. I really like listening to songs created during the war
though.

Maybe because my dad was a soldier, he often told me stories about his years in the army
and so

I can somehow relate deeply to those kinds of songs.

7. How much time do you spend listening to music every day?

It depends. I often listen to music when I’m doing the housework or when I’m on the bus.
At that

time, I feel like I can immerse myself in my own world. When I need to really
concentrate on

school work, I don’t really listen to music as it can cause some real unwelcomed
distraction.

8. What is your favorite kind of music?

I don’t have a particular taste in music. I can pretty much listen to everything as long as it
sounds

good to me. Still, I can hardly listen to Vietnamese traditional music, some countries’
folk songs

and several tracks belonging to the classical genre.

When did you start listening to this type of music?

VI. The news


Question 1: Do you prefer to read a newspaper or magazine? Answer: While I’m not an avid
reader of either, I tend to gravitate towards magazines. They offer a more curated and visually
appealing reading experience, often focusing on specific interests and providing in-depth
analysis.

Question 2: Do you prefer to read news online or in a newspaper? Answer: I primarily consume
news online. Digital platforms offer real-time updates, a wider range of perspectives, and
interactive features that enhance the news consumption experience.

VII. Pens and pencils


Question 1: When was the last time you bought a pen or pencil? Answer: I recently purchased a
set of high-quality pens from Shopee a few months ago. I was in need of reliable writing
instruments for my academic pursuits, particularly for practicing IELTS writing tasks.

Question 2: Do you usually use a pen or pencil? Answer: I predominantly use pencils for my
academic work, especially when practicing IELTS writing tasks. Pencils offer the flexibility to
make corrections and refine my writing without the permanence of ink. Additionally, the tactile
sensation of pencil on paper can be quite satisfying, enhancing my focus and concentration
during study sessions.

Question 3: What do you think if someone gives you a pen or a pencil as a gift? Answer:
Receiving a pen or pencil as a gift is a thoughtful gesture that carries symbolic meaning. It
suggests that the giver values education, learning, and intellectual pursuits. Such a gift can be a
source of inspiration and motivation, encouraging me to strive for academic excellence.
