TOPIC 3
Oanh: Do you like competitions? And do you think it’s more important to win or to take part?
Phương: Yeah, I enjoy competitions. They make things more exciting and help me improve.
But I think taking part is more important. Even if you don’t win, you still learn a lot. What about
you?
Oanh: I agree. Winning is nice, but the experience is more valuable. Do you think competitions
are good for people, and are they useful at school?
Phương: I think they’re good when they’re balanced. Competitions can help students build
skills like confidence, time management, and teamwork. But too much pressure can be harmful.
What do you think?
Oanh: Same. If we focus too much on winning, it becomes stressful. But if we enjoy the
process, it's a good experience. Do you prefer working alone or in a team?
Phương: I like working in a team because we can share ideas and support each other. But
sometimes working alone helps me focus better. How about you?
Oanh: I also like both. It depends on the task. By the way, have you ever joined a competition?
Phương: Yes, I joined a math competition at school. We had to solve problems fast, and the
prize was a scholarship. I didn’t win, but I felt proud because I tried my best.
Oanh: Nice! I joined a writing contest once. I wrote about my dream job. I didn’t win either, but
I learned a lot and felt more confident.
Phương: In the end, I think competitions are a great way to grow, even if we don’t win.
