TRONG QUÝ 1/2023

BY NGOCBACH (PHẦN 1)
15. Tidy
Are you a tidy person?
Definitely. I love seeing my things organized. I often try to clean my home and work space on a
daily basis.
Are all of your family members tidy?
Yes. Especially my mom, she is obsessed with cleaning. She’s always trying to keep
everything neat and spotless. That’s why she sometimes complains about my brother
throwing his dirty clothes everywhere.
Are you tidier at home or at work/ (school)?
At work (school) definitely. I think it’s totally fine to create a mess in my own room but it
would be unacceptable to throw stuff in public places. In fact, I’ve never forgotten to clean
up my desk before leaving work/ school.
Vocabulary:
1. On a daily basis: everyday
Restaurant just open almost on a daily basis
2. Obsessed (with) (adj) unable to stop thinking about something; too interested in or
worried about something

Nowadays people are so obsessed with money
16. Family & Friends

1. Do you have a large family or small family?
Well, my immediate family has only 4 members including my father, my mother, my brother and
me. But I have a close-knit large extended family including many uncles, aunts, and cousins who
keep in touch with one another very often and always gather together at special times.
2. How much time do you manage to spend with members of your family?
I’ve been living in Hanoi which is 60 kilometers from my parents’ house. Therefore, I can only
visit them on weekends. When I get back home, I try to spend most of the time with my parents.
We talk about our daily stuff and update each other on what’s going on in our lives.
3. Do you have many friends? Why? Why not?

I have a lot of friends, but only few close friends. And I think it’s easy to make friends, just be a
friend. Treat people respectfully, and the way you would like to be treated in return. That is how
you can have lots of friends!
17. Arts
- What forms of visual art are popular in your country?
Because Vietnam has much cultural and natural diversity and a long history, we take pride in
various types of visual art ranging from painting, sculpture, crafts, and drawing. Take Dong Ho
Folk painting, for example. With a unique drawing-printing technique using raw materials and
all-natural colors, this kind of art is preserved not only by the government but by all Vietnamese
people.
- Are there any difference between the art in your country and the art in Western countries?
Since culture varies, there is a vast difference between art in Vietnam and western nations. There
are some unique Vietnamese art styles, such as stilt houses and martial arts, that we do not see in

the western world. Having said that, as our country was dominated by France and China in the
past, we were, to some extent, influenced by their artistic styles while maintaining our own.
1.A vast difference (collocation): sự khác biệt lớn

2.Having said that: tuy nhiên (=however)
3.Stilt house (n): nhà sàn
4.Martial art (n): võ thuật
- Do you want to be an artist?

Not really. Though I have a strong passion for drawing, I don’t expect to become an artist; that’s
why I opted for Business as my university major. The reason is that being a successful artist is
hard, especially for those from a middle-class family like me. I would have to hope that the
public recognized my work of art to help me move from rags to riches. I don’t want to lead a
difficult life to pursue my dreams.
1. Have a strong passion for: có niềm đam mê mãnh liệt với…

2.Middle class (adj): trung lưu
3.From rags to riches (idiom): đổi đời, từ nghèo lên giàu
18. 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.
9.When did you start listening to this type of music?
[Let’s just say I’m into rock music]
The first time I heard a rock song was when my dad turned on the TV and there was a
performance of a very famous rock band in Vietnam called “Buc Tuong”. It was amazing. I
started searching for more songs from the Vietnamese band, and songs belonging to the same
genre, and have decided ever since that rock music would be a part of my spiritual life.
10.How do you feel when you listening to music?

Relaxed and free, I guess. Music, to me, is a way of hiding from all the hustle and bustle of
everyday life. I listen to music when I’m under a lot of pressure, and I just feel so fine. It’s
the feeling of finally coming home after years and years of living far away, I think.

19. Staying up
- Do you go to sleep early or stay up late?
I’m definitely not a morning person. I like staying up past midnight. My brain seems to hit a second
wind around 9 PM. I’m wide awake and full of energy. I just can’t waste something like that!
- What do you do when you stay up late?
Well from 9 PM onwards, I have a peaceful time in the house. That is good for me to look for
statistics, search on the internet, and go around using Google Maps. I enjoy those late hours.
- How do you feel when you have stayed up late the night before?
As I’ve said, I am not a morning person so I find it comfortable staying up late and working at
night.
20. Chocolate
- Do you like eating chocolate?
Yes, I absolutely adore chocolate! Chocolate is basically my life. Chocolate milk, hot chocolate,
chocolate bars, chocolate cookies, chocolate covered marshmallows, chocolate ice cream etc., If
it has the word chocolate in it, then I’m in.
- Why do you think it’s so popular?

I think one of the reasons chocolate’s so popular is that it tastes amazing: sweet, creamy and
delicious. Also, chocolate is believed to have a calming effect with mood alteration, an increased
pulse and more energy.
- Is chocolate good for our health?

Yes. Chocolate is especially rich in flavanols like epicatechin and catechin, as well as anthocyanins
and phenolic acids. All of these compounds help protect our cells from inflammation, improve our
brain function, and boost our immune and cardiovascular health. Therefore, chocolate is a good
source of nutrients when in its pure form and eaten in moderation.
21. Jewelry
- Do you often wear jewelry?
I wear jewelry pretty much every day or at the very least every other day. I believe that jewelry is
an accessory that a lot of people don’t take the time to acquire and it’s one thing that allows you
to make your outfits stand out and more unique to you.
- What type of jewelry do you like?

I always have my earrings and a watch on every day in addition to sometimes throwing on a
necklace every now and then.
- Why do you think some people wear a piece of jewelry for a long time?
I think each has their own reasons. In most cases, if people get attached to a certain piece of
jewelry, there might be a story behind it. It could be a symbol of something that they cherish or a
gift from someone they love. Or sometimes people keep wearing the same item of jewelry just out
of habit. They get accustomed to it after a while and are too lazy to change for the new one so
there it stays.
22. Small business

- Are there many small businesses in the place where you live?
Well, I know very little about small companies around my place. But I remember there are some
startup companies that I have come across on the way to school but I don’t know what kind of

products or services that they are offering because those businesses specialize in something that I
don’t know about.
- Do you prefer to buy things from a small business or large company?
It depends actually. I mean, I would go for big brand company if I needed to buy some important
products like skin care or makeup products. However, for some items like clothes or accessories,
I would love to choose products from small companies as long as the quality is good.
23. Outer space and stars

- Have you ever learnt about outer space and stars?
Yes, I have. Though they are not included in our school curriculum, exploring the universe
always holds my attention. When I was a child , my dad bought me some books about outer
space, especially the Milky Way and its stars. Needless to say, I had my nose in those books for
hours as the universe and its secrets are so mysterious and interesting to me.
1.Hold one’s attention: thu hút sự chú ý của ai

2.Had/Got your nose in a book: say sưa đọc sách vì hay, hấp dẫn
- Are you interested in films concerning outer space and stars?

Absolutely. I’m really into sci-fi movies mixed with a bit of fantasy instead of the dry and boring
documentaries on National Geographic. A telling example is Star Wars, a movie I have binge-
watched many times because it always keeps me on the edge of my seat.
1.Fantasy: giả tưởng

Clash of the Titans may refer to a fantasy film about the myth of Perseus.
2.Dry (adj): khô khốc (nghĩa bóng)
The writing style was too dry for a children's book.
3.Binge-watch (v): cày phim, xem phim liên tục
4.Keep someone on the edge of his/her seat (idiom): khiến ai đó cảm thấy thú vị

- Do you want to go into outer space in the future?
Yes, that’s the dream I’ve longed for. Traveling into space and beholding our planet from an
entirely different angle would be such a wonderful experience. Besides, I really want to hang in
mid-air in the microgravity environment of space just once. Hopefully, in the future, with the
advancement of technologies, human beings could have space tours to explore the universe.
1.Long for (v): ao ước cái gì

2.Hand in mid-air: lơ lửng trong không trung
3.Microgravity environment (n): môi trường không trọng lực?
24. Snacks
What snacks did you eat when you were young?
Well, my childhood snacks was some junk food like crisps, chocolate and biscuits.
When do you usually eat snacks now?
Around mid-morning I usually have a few biscuits and then at about 3PM I often eat some
chocolate or something like that.
Do you think it is healthy for you to eat snacks?
No. I think all kind of junk snacking is bad for our health. Unless you’re hungry, it’s perfectly fine
to have some fruit. But if we eat junk food between meals, then it’s really unhealthy.
25. Weekends
What do you usually do on weekends?

Well literally anything. I’m supposed to do chores on Saturday and it takes me hours to do one.
On Sunday, I usually schedule a meeting with my friends. We mostly just eat out, drink craft beers
and play board games, but we occasionally watch a movie or go to an event in the city.
Would you say weekends are important to us?

Yes, I could say, that weekends are really important. Weekends give us the chance to improve on
ourselves as people rather than always improving our professional skills, to spend time with friends
and family, and to plan a weekend trip in a nearby place. Thanks to weekends, we are more relaxed
and productive when we go back to work.
Do you often go to the cinema on weekends?

I probably only go once every two or three months because I have less time now than I did when
I was a student, and when I do have free time, I usually want to hang out with my friends and have
a chat, rather than sit down and watch films.
Vocabulary:
1. Take (time) to do something: to spend enough time to do something well or carefully
It took her two hours to travel from Hanoi to Phu Tho
2. Hang out with (phrasal verb) to spend a lot of time in a place or with someone
They spent the whole Saturday hanging out by the lake
26. Keys
- Do you always bring a lot of keys with you?
Well, I do bring keys with me every day, but just some important ones including a home key and
a locker key. They’re kind of like the daily necessities for me.
- Have you ever lost your keys?
Yes, definitely. I am quite absent-minded, and there have been many times I left my belongings
including a key in public places. Last year, I remember I lost my house key on the way home at

midnight and had to wake my father up to open the door for me. Luckily, the next day my friend
found not only my keys, but also my license on the back seats of his car.
27. T-shirt
- Do you usually wear T-shirts?
Yes, I do. I love T-shirts because of their comfort and they can go with everything. It is very easy
to mix and match t-shirts with other clothes and accessories.
- Do you like T-shirts with pictures or prints?

No T-shirts with pictures and prints are not my style. I would go for some basic and classic tee
that can easily mix and match with other clothes.
- Do you think older people who wear T-shirts are fashionable?

Yeah, I think it is true because T-shirts can give a young vibe to people who wear them compared
to other types of clothes.
28. Singing
Do you often sing?
I love to sing, but I don’t sing in public. I sing almost every day when I’m alone in my room. I'm
not too good at singing, I can't reach high or too low notes, and sometimes I forget words to songs,
but I do heavily lip-sync. By heavy, I mean intense expressions, movements as if I'm in the song.
I always imagine myself doing some intense singing at a talent show, but I know I can't do that.
When do you like to sing?
Honestly, I mostly feel like singing when I’m feeling emotional and need a way to release my
emotions. I also sing when I hear a catchy song or just a song I love!
Is it difficult to sing well?
Yes. It is. Even those with a natural talent for singing have to learn the correct technique, which
can only really be taught/coached.
Do you want to be a singer?

I’d love to, but I am not talented enough to pursue it. Sometimes you have to recognise what you
are good at to be able to make your career decisions.
What kinds of music do you like to sing?
I sing for myself, and not in front of people I don't know, so I can sing whatever I like. Mostly I
sing ballads, R&B, country, and other genres.
Vocabulary
Intense (adj) very great; very strong
• We were all suffering in the intense heat.
Technique (n) a particular way of doing something, especially one in which you have to learn
special skills
• We have developed a new technique that corrects the problem.
29. Technology
1. What technology do you often use, computers or mobile phones?
Well, my answer is both because I use both the computer and mobile phone every day. My
cellphone is obviously like a daily necessity for me, and I use it for phone calls, messaging,
browsing the Internet, reading e-mail, and other small jobs. However, the mobile phone is not
convenient when it comes to word processing, so when I’m at work where I have more complicated
projects or work, the computer is really helpful.
2. What electronic devices have you bought lately?
Well, I bought an Ipad last week and I just love it. I used to take my laptop to class to take notes,
but it was too heavy and sometimes really inconvenient to carry all the time. Therefore, for me,
the Ipad is a perfect alternative as it’s much lighter and more portable.

3. What’s the benefit of technology?
Well, I think technology has brought tremendous benefit to our lives. At the medical level,
technology can help treat more sick people and consequently save many lives and combat harmful
viruses and bacteria. For companies, progress in implementing strategic technology trends is
helping them save time and therefore, money. Similarly, global tourism has grown
30. Neighbor
1. Do you know your neighbors?
Yes, of course I do. People in my neighborhood know each other quite well, and all of them are
very friendly and lovable. The family living next to my house is always willing to offer assistance
when we need, and sois my family.
2. Do you like your neighbors?
Well yes, I love them, because they are good neighbors. The family next door has a grandmother
whom I really respect, as she always gives me useful advice. I think that we live in harmony with
one another.
3. What do you think of your neighbors?
As I have said, they are warm-hearted people. They receive a lot of affection and admiration for
their kindness and generosity. I think it is quite good fortune for my family to live next to them.
4. How often do you see (or talk to) your neighbors?
I think very often. Each morning, we frequently greet when we meet each other. Whenever I am
not occupied with schoolwork, I will visit the grandmother to talk to her. Her life experience and
advice have helped me to overcome many difficulties and challenges.
5. When do you meet your neighbors?
We meet everyday, since we live next to each other. Particularly, at the weekends, the neighbors
will gather in the biggest house to hold a party or BBQ, which is very appealing to the children.

1. lovable [adj]: having qualities that people find attractive and easy to love : đáng yêu
