knowledge about the culture and people in Japna- the
country that desire to visit once in my life.
2. Do you prefer books or e-books?
- I think that print books and e-books have both
positive and negative sides. Howerver, I prefer
ebooks than books. Because, in comparison, e books
Are More Portable Than Print. It's much easier to
carry an eReader containing an entire library of titles
than to bring even a few physical
books. Additionally,most modern eReader devices
are lightweight so u can carry with whenerver u like,
wherever u are.
3. Do you often buy books?

books whenever a book fair is organized. U know,

fair, i can buy many books with reasonable price.
Moreover, book fair also provides diverse book titles
that I can read through b4 i decide to buy it.

- When talking about my all-time favorite book, the
first one that come into my mind is definitely the
Diary of a Wimpy Kid. U know this is a New York
Time Best Sellers story book written for American
children at the age 12-15. The first time I read this
book I felt it was a real page turner because it's so
hilarious and fascinating. This book remind me of
my childhood and I see myself in the main character
who is a mischievious boy and he's really into
making jokes and playing tricks. So far I have
completed 12 Books of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid
and I find it hard to put it down. Until now, it still be
the most my favourite book.
5. How often do you go to a book fair?
- Honestly, it depends on my timetable. If the book
fair organized at the weekend, i will definitely join it.
Le’s say, i will go to a book fair 3 times a year with
my frs. It’s very useful to join a aboook fair as you

offer me diverse choices with differents types of
fruits at competitive cost. Besdies, supermarket

Not only fruits but also other tupe of food are
always tested carefully to meet high standards b4
it is provided to cosumers.
5. Do you think that it is important to eat fruits?

as it brings numerous benefits for our helath. As

Loss of natural beauty Follow-up questions for B

Now let’s talk about tourism

[Your own Disadvantages Environmental
idea] of tourism destruction
Cultural destruction
The tourism is becoming as an booming industry. While
many ppl believe that this industry bring numerous
benefit, i still hold the belief that tourism has more
disdvantages than advantages. Firstly, the rapid
developing speed of this field can cause the environmental
destruction. This can be explained by the fact that tourism
puts enormous stress on local land use, result in soil
erosion, increased pollution, and more pressure on
endangered species. Secondly, tourism can also have
detriemental effect on the culture. Visistors are from many
countries and bring their culture as customs,food,fashion,
… They bring the negative influence to the community
which is not suitable with the local custom. In other
words, it has long- term impacts on culture. Last but not
least, loss of natural beauty is an inevitable consequence
of tourism. U know, Overbuilding and extensive paving of
shorelines can result in destruction of habitats and
disruption of land-sea connections (such as sea-turtle
nesting spots). Investors just want to build hotels,
restaurants for their business, create resorts and super
markets on beach. Take Nha Trang as a typical example.
Tourist facilities are built to earn a profit without any
concern about integrating the design with the natural
features of this place. Large resorts with different designs
dominate the landscape and spoil the natural beauty of
Nha Trang. In conclusion,I think that instead of arguing
about the positive or neagtive sides, it’s necessary for
authority to minimize the negative impacts and develop
tourism in a sustaiable and proper way.
What is the most significant change in tourism in
your country recently?
Actually, the most obvious change in tourism in my country
may be is about the awareness. I mean the responsibility of
everyone. If in the past, it’s not difficult to see a hughe
amount of trash and rubbish was thrown away leading to
environmental pollution. However, nowadays ppl are more
awareness about the environment protection. They litter in
the right places. And investors who want to build resort
will try not to spoil its beauty. So ppl in my country are
more responsible to protect the environemtn and the
natural beauty.
What is the most important thing that the tourists
should do before going to another country?
I think… is get familiar with the culture. As an
illustration, there is a famous saying that When in
Rome, do as the Romans do. So when visiting a
foreign country, follow the customs of those who live
in it. adapting yourself to this culture or situation and
behave like native ppl do. It can also mean that when
you are in an unfamiliar situation, you should follow
the lead of those who know the ropes to avoid
unecessary conflicts.

Topic B. Being a morning person is beneficial.
Optimism
[Your own An early Physical
idea] bird health
Proactiveness
Being a morning person will bring about numerous
benefits namely positive attitude,physical health and
proactiveness. First of all, optimism is frequently
mentioned as the most obvious advantages. Various
studies have linked waking up early to possessing
healthy character traits. These studies mentioned that
early birds are more likely to producing more positive
feelings, happiness or satisfaction. Meanwhile ppl who
stay up late will tend to suffer from depression and
pessimism. Secondly, ppl will be more proactive when
waking up early. To put it simply, the early morning is
a time to lay out priorities for the day and make
timetable for them. For this reason, many successful
people are early birds. They spend aerly morning to
relax and prepare everyhing b4 a new day begin like to
read the paper, exercise, listen to music, check emails.
Last but not least, it is healthy for body to get up
early. This can be explained by having nutrious
breakfast combined with morning exercise. Threfore, it
provides body’ energy for the rest of the day,
keep u be productive and finish all dealines.
In conclusion, form the reason mentioned
above, ppl should wake up aelry instead of
staying up late.
