Engineering student, Year 2–3

Looking for a part-time job

Hello, I’m Minh, a second-year Engineering student. Over the past two years I’ve worked on several projects
involving machine programming and basic graphic design, and I really enjoy combining creativity with technical
skills. Outside class, I spend a lot of time coding small games, experimenting with photo editing, and doing side
projects with friends. I’m fluent enough in English and Chinese to read textbooks and research papers, which helps
me keep up with new knowledge. I consider myself hardworking and curious, and I enjoy working with people who
share the same passion for technology. Right now I’m looking for a part-time job where I can apply what I’ve
learned, gain professional experience, and help support my living and study expenses.

Applying to a club / lab

Hi everyone, I’m Minh, currently a third-year Engineering student. I’ve participated in a few small-scale projects in
game programming and graphic design, which gave me both teamwork experience and technical confidence.
Research has always fascinated me, especially when I can turn theory into something practical, so I’m eager to join
a club or a lab where I can contribute. I would describe myself as friendly, open-minded, and willing to learn from
mistakes. I look forward to not only learning from seniors but also sharing what I know with peers. I believe joining
this environment will help me grow academically and socially, and I’m excited for the challenges ahead.

Seeking sponsorship for a club event

Good morning, my name is Minh, and I’m a second-year Engineering student as well as a member of the
Programming & Design Club. Our club is organizing an event aimed at connecting students who are passionate
about technology, creativity, and collaboration. We hope to build a platform for knowledge exchange, project
showcasing, and networking. With your support, we can make the event more professional and impactful for our
community. Personally, I believe that student-led projects like this nurture leadership and teamwork at an early
stage. I would be grateful if your organization could consider sponsoring us and becoming a partner in bringing this
event to life.

Introducing myself to friends

Hey guys, I’m Minh, an Engineering student who is a bit of a tech nerd but also loves creativity. I enjoy tinkering
with machines, building little programs, and sometimes doodling or doing graphic design just for fun. My free time
is usually spent coding small games or going out with my camera to capture city life. I’ve recently started learning
Chinese in addition to English, so I sometimes read documents in both languages to challenge myself. People
usually see me as quiet at first, but when I’m with friends I talk a lot about gadgets, coding, or anime. I really enjoy
surrounding myself with curious people, because I think good conversations can spark new ideas.

Street-interview introduction
Hello, my name is Minh, I’m in my second year studying Engineering. My focus is on programming and design, and I
love learning how technology and creativity intersect. When I’m not studying, I’m active in student clubs, especially
the game programming club where we brainstorm projects together. I consider myself a little shy at first, but once
I’m comfortable I become very talkative and enthusiastic. I also spend time learning new languages like Chinese,
because I want to connect with more people globally. College life for me is about building skills, but also about
building friendships that last.

2. Employee with 1–2 years of experience in filming, photography, and design

Applying for a work visa abroad

Hello, my name is Khánh, and I have been working in the media field—mainly filming, photography, and post-
production—for a little over two years. I started as an intern covering events, and gradually moved into editing and
handling full video projects for clients. Over time, I’ve built a solid portfolio of corporate videos, event coverage,
and creative short films. I’m a disciplined person who pays attention to detail, but I also value teamwork and
creativity in every project. I’m eager to expand my experience in an international setting, because I know exposure
to new cultures and technologies will push me further. That’s why I’m here today, applying for a work visa to pursue
opportunities abroad.

Introducing myself to friends and relatives

Hi everyone, I’m Khánh. Since graduation, I’ve been working in photography and video editing. My daily tasks often
involve covering events, capturing natural moments, and spending long nights in front of editing software. Even
though my schedule can be hectic, I always try to make time for traveling, because traveling gives me both
relaxation and fresh material for my photography. Recently I’ve also taken up studying Chinese, not just for career
opportunities but also because I enjoy languages. I feel proud of the progress I’ve made so far, and I’m looking
forward to pushing myself even further.

Introducing myself to a client when signing a contract

Hello, my name is Khánh, and I will be in charge of filming and post-production for this project. I’ve been in the
media industry for about two years, working with event organizers, small businesses, and advertising companies.
My specialty lies in editing—crafting visuals that match the tone and branding of the client. I believe strong
communication is key, so I’ll make sure to keep you updated throughout the project. Beyond technical skills, I bring
creativity and flexibility, which I know are crucial in media production. I look forward to a smooth and long-term
collaboration that benefits both sides.

Meeting foreigners while out and about

Hi, my name is Khánh. I work as a photographer and video editor in Vietnam. For the past two years I’ve been
creating videos for events, companies, and small creative projects. I really enjoy storytelling through visuals—it
feels amazing to capture emotions that words can’t fully express. Meeting people from different countries is one of
the reasons I love my job and my travels. Every conversation and every photo adds a new perspective to my life. It’s
great to meet you and I hope we can share experiences.

Job interview after leaving a previous job

Hello, I’m Khánh, with two years of professional experience in filming, photography, and design. At my previous job,
I was responsible for event video production and post-editing of commercials. That role taught me to work under
tight deadlines, communicate with clients, and solve technical issues quickly. I’m a perfectionist in some ways—I
like polishing details until I’m satisfied—but I also know how to balance creativity with efficiency. I decided to leave
my old company because I wanted to explore a more dynamic, innovative environment. I’m excited about the
possibility of bringing my skills to your team and continuing to grow.

3. Manager / Director / President of a manufacturing company

Introducing myself at a class reunion

Hello everyone, I’m Nam, and I’m currently running a manufacturing company. It feels a little surreal to stand here
with you all, because not long ago I was just another student juggling assignments, projects, and part-time jobs.
After graduation, I spent years learning, failing, and gradually building my own business. Now my company has over
50 employees, producing consumer goods for both local and regional markets. I still try to keep balance by playing
football on weekends and strumming my guitar, something I picked up in college. What I’ve learned most is that
persistence and teamwork are everything. I’m very happy to reconnect with you after so many years apart.

Speaking before students and administrators when invited back to my old school
Good morning teachers and students, my name is Nam, and I am a proud alumnus of this school. Today I return not
as a student, but as the director of a manufacturing company that has been running successfully for several years.
Back in your place, I was often unsure of myself, confused about my future, and even afraid of failing. But through
persistence and curiosity, I gradually discovered my passion and pursued it despite obstacles. My message to you is
simple: don’t fear making mistakes, because they are part of the process. If someone like me could stand here
today, then I know each of you has the same potential.

Answering the bank when applying for a secured loan

Hello, I’m Nam, the director of a consumer-goods manufacturing company. We’ve been in operation for more than
five years, with steady growth and a loyal customer base. I’m here today to apply for a loan that will allow us to
expand our production line and invest in more advanced machinery. We’ve prepared a detailed business plan, with
clear cash-flow projections and long-term contracts already secured. I believe this investment will not only benefit
our company but also create more jobs locally. With the bank’s support, we can take a confident step toward the
next stage of growth.

Meeting a business partner

Good afternoon, I’m Nam, managing director of a company specializing in manufacturing consumer goods. We
have built a reputation in the domestic market for reliability, quality, and punctual delivery. I believe that
collaboration with your organization could open new distribution channels and enhance our mutual
competitiveness. Personally, I value honesty and long-term vision in partnerships. My team and I are committed to
meeting deadlines and maintaining transparent communication. I look forward to today’s discussion and to finding
common ground for cooperation.

When hiring an assistant

Hello, I’m Nam, currently leading a mid-sized manufacturing company. As our business grows, I find myself needing
a reliable assistant who can manage communication, scheduling, and coordination tasks. I value people who are
responsible, adaptable, and willing to learn on the job. My own style of management is straightforward—I expect
efficiency, but I also invest in developing my team. Working with me means being exposed to real challenges in
production and business strategy. For the right candidate, this role could be a stepping stone toward leadership in
the future.

4. International student in China (2–3 years)

Seeking sponsorship for a project

Hello, my name is Huy, and I am currently pursuing my studies in Business Administration as an international
student in China. Alongside my coursework, I am working with fellow students to launch a research project on
student entrepreneurship and cross-cultural collaboration. Our goal is to connect young innovators, exchange
practical ideas, and present them to the wider community. To make this vision possible, we are seeking sponsorship
and mentorship from organizations that believe in empowering youth. Personally, I enjoy writing blogs about life
abroad and connecting with other students through social media. I strongly believe this project will create real

teams, and adapt to international work environments. I would describe myself as hardworking, detail-oriented, and
eager to learn from others. My Chinese language skills allow me to communicate with colleagues and clients, while
my English is strong enough for professional collaboration. I am looking forward to an opportunity where I can
grow and also contribute my best.

Catching up with friends back home after a long time

Hey everyone, it’s me, Huy! It feels so great to finally meet you again after two years abroad. Studying in China was
both exciting and challenging—I balanced classes, part-time jobs, and cultural adjustments. I gained so many new
perspectives, whether through working with international classmates or traveling across different cities. Honestly,
those experiences made me more independent and confident than before. But no matter where I went, I always
missed our old hangouts and the comfort of being with close friends. I’m really glad we’re together today; it feels
like no time has passed at all.

Company party
Hello everyone, my name is Huy, and I’ve just returned after completing a study program in China. While abroad, I
focused on marketing and management, and I had the chance to intern in a mid-sized company where I learned a
lot about teamwork and communication. I’d describe myself as open, adaptable, and curious—I like to ask
questions and pick up new skills quickly. This is my first time joining a company event here, and I’m really excited to
get to know colleagues outside the workplace. I believe work relationships become stronger when we also connect
as people. Thank you for welcoming me tonight.

Livestream debut—self-introduction
Hello everyone, welcome to my very first livestream! My name is Huy, and I’m currently an international student in
China. I study economics, but outside of class I spend a lot of time on photography and writing blogs about student
life abroad. I wanted to start this channel to share my experiences—the challenges of adapting to a new culture,
the fun of exploring new places, and the lessons I’ve learned so far. I hope to connect with people who are curious
about studying overseas or who simply enjoy good stories. Thank you for joining today, and I look forward to
interacting with all of you.

5. New university student

Introducing myself to the advisor

Good morning, my name is Quân, and I’ve just entered my first year studying Engineering. As a newcomer,
everything is fresh and a little overwhelming, so I really appreciate having advisors to guide us. I want to ask what
essential items I should prepare—books, study tools, or even personal software for heavy assignments and some
entertainment. I consider myself eager to learn and very detail-oriented, so I like to be prepared. At the same time,
I know there are things I might overlook, which is why I’m asking for your advice. I hope with your help I can start
my journey smoothly and focus on studying without worry.

Making friends in and outside the class

Hi there, I’m Quân, a freshman in the Engineering program. Since we’re both new here, I thought it’d be nice to
introduce myself and maybe get to know each other. I’ve always been curious about technology, but I also balance
it with hobbies like reading manga, gaming, and playing football. Honestly, I think college life will be much more fun
if we have a good group of friends to study and hang out with. I may seem a bit shy at first, but I open up quickly
once I feel comfortable. Hopefully we can share lots of great memories and support each other through the ups
and downs of university life.

Applying to a club / lab

Hello, my name is Quân, and I’m in my very first year of university. I’ve always admired the clubs and labs here,
because they’re where real ideas get tested and new skills are developed. I already have some basic knowledge in
IT and design, and I’m eager to build on that foundation. I would describe myself as diligent and responsible—I take
deadlines seriously and enjoy working with others. For me, joining a club is not just about learning but also about
contributing to a team. I believe this opportunity will help me grow both academically and personally, and I’m truly
excited to be considered.

Stopped by the police

Good evening, officers. My name is Quân, and I’m a first-year Engineering student. This is actually my very first
semester at university, so I’m still adjusting to many new things in the city. I may look nervous because I don’t often
deal with situations like this, but I want to assure you I respect the law and have no intention of breaking any rules.
If I made a mistake, it was out of ignorance rather than bad intent. I would be grateful for the chance to explain
myself and promise to be more careful in the future. Thank you for understanding.

Interview—running for class representative

Hello everyone, my name is Quân, and I’m excited to be running for class representative. I chose to apply because I
enjoy organizing, taking responsibility, and making sure everyone’s voice is heard. Back in high school, I served as a
class monitor, which taught me how to communicate between teachers and students and manage group activities. I
see this role as more than a title—it’s a chance to build trust and cooperation among us. I may not have all the
answers, but I’m willing to listen and act fairly. With your support, I hope to help make our class a stronger and
more connected community.
