Window view (đề mới)

 What scenery can you see from the window of your room?
Actually, I live on the 4th floor, and there is a park near my building. So from
the window, I have a view of a green space. And sometimes, I can also see
some children playing football down there, which is a very fun thing to do.

 Do you like to watch the scenery from your window?

Yes, absolutely. I mean, whenever I feel stressed with my studying, I just have
a look at the view out there for a while. It is really relaxing. Besides watching
children playing football, I often look up the sky to see birds flying freely. It is
really peaceful.
 Do you want to live in a house with beautiful window views?
Yes, It is my dream to have a house with beautiful views from window. I have
always been dreaming of living in the countryside after retiring so that I can
watch the view of green paddy fields.
 How do you feel when you can’t see any beautiful view from your window?
Well, if then, it would be very uncomfortable. It is always a good thing to have
beautiful view from your window. When the view is not so gorgeous, I will feel
extremely bored
Change
 Do you like the changes? Why?
To be honest, I quite don’t like changes. They can stress me out. For example,
when I graduated from high school, I was excited but then bored because
everything just changed too fast that I can’t keep up with. Yeah, I was really
stressed about that big life change.

I think I would like to change my exercise habits next year. To be honest, I am
quite inactive so it would be better if I could do exercises more regularly.

 Have you changed a lot since your childhood?

Yes, I must say that I do change a lot as I grow up. For example, I am much more
confident than I used to be. At that time, I could hardly voice my opinions in
crowd but now, I can freely tell anyone about my opinion without hesitation.
 Are there any positive changes in your country these days?
Well, yes. The welfares is getting better and better day by day thanks to proper
policies given by the governments. Besides, it seems that people tend to have a
strongger environmental awareness than before.

much fresher than it was in the past.

Making lists
 Do you make a list before going shopping? Why?
Yes, I always figure out everything I have to buy before shopping because I get
such a goldfish brain.

Well, I think that making a shopping list is of importance since it reminds us
to buy enough neccessities. And besides, we can save a lot of time, too.
 Do you make a list of your work? Does it work?
Yes, as I have mentioned before, I am a very forgetful person so I always make a
to-do list for my work. At first, it is a little bit inconvenient but gradually, when I
have get used to it, it becomes indispensible whenever I prepare for my work.
 Why don't some people like making lists?
I think it is attributed to their desires and demands. If the work is simple, it will be
redundant to make a list instead of jumping right into the work. Besides, perhaps
they don’ t like to make a lists just because it is not to their interests.
 Do you prefer using a piece of paper or making a list on your phone?
Well, I guess I prefer the second option because it is much more convenient. We
can make a list whenever and wherever we can with just a smartphone, instead
of using the traditional way.
