5. What is your favorite means of
transportation?
[WHAT] Of course, there are a mixed variety of
vehicles that I’m keen on, but what springs to my
mind is a cruise ship.

[WHY] This is simply because, travelling on what

so-called a floating hotel allows me to
contemplate the romantic sunsets and
picturesque landscapes, not to mention the fact
that I would also be free from traffic congestion.

6. What is the most popular type of
vehicle in your country?
[WHAT] Of course, it goes without saying that there are
a mixed variety of transport options in Vietnam, but I
guess the most commonly used would be motorbike.

[WHY] simply because commuting by motorbike is not

only speedy but also efficient, as we could have full
control over our travel routes, like taking shortcuts  in
the event of traffic congestion.

 7. What is your favorite flower?
[WHAT] Honestly speaking, it’s not a piece of cake

array of splendid blooms, but I guess I marvel at

adoration, loyalty and longevity, I believe they would
be a perfect present for your beloved ones to make
their day.
