TOPIC 11: PEOPLE

PART 1 – THU ÂM PHẦN SAU

Question 1. Are your friends mostly your age or different ages?

Hầu hết bạn bè của tôi đều ở cùng độ tuổi với tôi (the same age as me) vì chúng tôi
quen biết nhau (got to know) trường học hoặc đại học. Tôi cũng một hoặc một vài người
bạn lớn hơn hoặc trẻ hơn(older and younger friends) thông qua mạng xã hội (social
network)

Most of my friends are the same as me/ to me since we got to know each other for ages
(thành ngữ: nhiều năm rồi). I also got some buddies, old and younger ones through
social network.

Question 2. In which ways are your friends important to you?

I suppose that friendship is crucially important to everyone, I am no exception. (tôi thì

không có ngoại lệ). We need friends to share and to help in this life. I got some good
buddies who are always there for me, especially when I am in ups and downs.

Question 3.What would you like to do when you a re with your best friend together

• have a gossip
• have a chat over drink
• watch the box and laugh hysterically (xem ti vi và cười như điên)

We often do some similar things like having a gossip or watching the box and laughing
hysterically. For me, meeting up friends literally chill out.

Lưu ý: People là chủ đề để “đá đề” nên bạn học kỹ nhé.

Describe a handsome person -bản hướng dẫn sẽ có nhiều từ vựng hơn video để bạn
học nhé

Who: After a bit of thought, I want to tell you about a person who has a very attractive
and eye-catching look. He is Son Tung mtp. Currently he is a prominent singer in
Vietnam, and his music is all the rage. To tell you the truth that I am a die hard fan of
him. Furthermore, whenever he becomes an endorser to any products, they are gonna sell
like a hot cake.

When +Where: I got to know him a couple of years ago, when his first song hit the
world by storm, I crazily love him and all his products.

How: Back to the question a handsome person and Sontung springs to my mind
immediately. He is very handsome actually, with a pointed face, radiant smile and a very
natural complexion. He is not well-built but has a slim body. His look is actually
impressive and I guess many fangirls will love him at the first sight. I am no exception
hihi.
For me, Son Tung is also acclaimed for (nổi tiếng về) one of the most fashionable
singers around Vietnam.

Why: I am not sure about the reasons why I am talking about him because I have seen
many outstanding persons about physcical appeareance but maybe the beauty of this
singer really makes me unforgettable. The most impressive thing is the sweet smile he
owns

PART 3 – DỊCH THUẬT TĂNG Ý TƯỞNG – Ý CHÍNH – Ý PHỤ - KẾT QỦA

Question 1. What types of people who are successful in the society where you live?

Có nhiều cách để mô tả sự thành công của một người, tuy nhiên, ở Việt Nam, nếu bạn đạt
được những thứ sau, bạn sẽ được xem là người thành công và nhận được nhiều sự
ngưỡng mộ và kính trọng từ người khác. Bạn là một người thành công về vật chất. Ví dụ
bạn sinh ra đã giàu có, bạn có nhà to, có xe hơi xịn. Bạn là một người thành công về con
đường học thuật. Bạn đạt được rất bằng cấp, thạc sĩ, tiến sĩ, bạn cũng có nhiều vị trí cao
trong xã hội Việt Nam, và từ đó bạn có thể kiếm tiền nhiều và đạt được tiếng tăm.

There are a lot of gray areas in defining success of a person, nevertheless, in Viet Nam, if
you have one of the followings, you will be viewed as a successful person and earn
respect from others. First, you are wealthy. Either you are born with a silver spoon in
your mouth or work your way up the ladder, if you have real-estate and fancy rides, then
you are successful. Second, you are academically adept. If you have esteemed degrees,
Master’s or PhD, you are set for great positions in the Vietnamese society, which could
earn you a fortune or reputation.

Question 2. Are smart people selfish?

I do not believe that intelligence is a virtue that goes hand in hand with selfishness.
Though it is true that smart people tend to be more secretive and stern, they are also
known to be more generous and kind. For instance, many scientists, after inventing or
discovering ground-breaking results, have publicly shared them with the world, free of

charge. As I recall, when Volvo invented the “three-point seat belt”, they allow other car
manufacturers to use their design to save more lives instead of making money from it.

MỘT SỐ DÀN Ý RIÊNG BỔ SUNG

Today, I’m going to talk about Ho Chi Minh who is well-known in my country. He was
the first President of Vietnam who led the whole nation to independence.

As a citizen of Vietnam, it is normal for everybody to know him because children are
educated about him since starting to go to school. Since I knew Ho Chi Minh, I have seen
a lot of films and read a lot of books about him. He is always my greatest idol to study
and follow.

The reason why he is well-known in my country is that Ho Chi Minh devoted his life to
our nation. If he had not been born in Vietnam, our country could have been invaded by
other countries. I admire him for a number of reasons. Firstly, President Ho was a very
determined man. He showed his determination at a very young age when he decided to
travel to France to obtain knowledge, hoping to find a way to rescue the nation. During
his journey, he did various jobs to survive despite many difficulties. Being inspired by
him, I have been working very hard to fulfill my dream until I can achieve it. Secondly, I
knew that Uncle Ho was very good at foreign languages, he could speak fluently fifteen
languages. In fact, I have been studying English for ages but I haven't been satisfied with
my English. I think this is a good opportunity to learn his experiences to improve my
English level.
