1. Can you play a musical instrument? Wha’ts your most favorite musical instrument that you’d like to practice ? Why do people like Music? How is music important to our life? What songs do you often listen to? Mostly Vietnamese or English ones? Why?
Bạn có thể chơi nhạ cụ không? Loại nhạc cụ nào bạn thích nhất hay cái bạn thích tập nhất. Tại sao con người thích nhạc. Tầm quan trọng của âm nhạc đối với cuộc sống của chúng ta như thế nào. Bạn thường xuyên nghe những bài hát nào. Hầu hết là những bài hát tiếng việt hay tiếng anh. Tại sao.
No, I can’t play any musical instrument. I haven’t got time to learn any musical instrument so far.
My most favorite musical instrument that I’d like to practice is the piano. The sound of a piano is very soothing and relaxing. It can also play a wide variety of genres.
I think people like music because there are so many good songs and singers they can listen to. Music is very important to our life. Many people listen to music every day. It helps them feel relaxed, happy, refreshed and inspired.
I often listen to a wide variety of songs from different countries, such as the U.S., U.K., Vietnam, and Latin America etc. I often listen to mostly English songs. There are so many good songs and genres. In addition, new songs are released very often.
2. Can you drive? Do you know somebody who can drive? How long does it take a person to learn how to drive a car? How much is it to get a car driver’s license?
Bạn có thể lái không? Bạn có biết ai có thể lái không? Mất bao lâu đối với 1 người để học cách lái xe oto. Mất bao nhiêu tiền để có một cái bằng lái xe oto.
Yes, I can. I know many people who can drive: my Dad, my Uncle, and a couple of my friends.
I would say it takes about 15-20 hours on average to learn to drive. One needs to get used to a car and practice different driving skills such as taking a right/left turn, parallel parking, reverse parking, and driving on the highway etc.
If you go to a driving school, a driving course to get a driver’s license costs about 10-15 million Vietnam Dong. You’ll need to pay to rent a car for practice, get a driving instructor etc.
3. Can you dance well? Do you know any great dancers? How long do you think they’ve learned how to dance?
Bạn nhảy có tốt không? Bạn có biết bất kì ai nhảy giỏi không. ? Theo bạn, mất bao lâu để họ học được nhảy?
I can dance but not well. I haven’t got a lot of time to practice.
I know a couple of great dancers. They are: Fred Astaire, Derek Hough, Misty Copeland, and Jenifer Lopez. They can dance very well.
These dancers learnt to dance since they were kids. Dancing is very challenging and it requires a lot of practice.
4. What sports can you play? What do you think about Soccer? Is that the #1 sport in your point of Viet? If not, which one then and why?
Bạn có thể chơi môn thể thao nào. Bạn nghi gì về bóng đá? Đó có phải là môn thể thao số 1 theo quan điểm Việt Nam. Nếu Không, Cái nào và tại sao?
I can swim pretty well. I learnt to swim since I was in high school. I can do the freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and dog-paddle. I can’t do the butterfly.
I think that soccer is a fun and very popular sport. It’s the #1 sport in Vietnam in my opinion. Many people love watching soccer games on TV at weekends. A lot of soccer fans to go see the National Soccer Team play in person.
5. Can you take good photos? Why do people selfie? How many photos have you take a day or a week? What kinds of photos do you have in your smart phone? Can you share some?
Bạn có chụp ảnh đẹp không? Tại sao con người thích chụp ảnh tự sướng. Bạn chụp bao nhiêu ảnh mỗi ngày hoặc mỗi tuần. Bạn có kiểu ảnh nào trong chiếc điện thoại của bạn. Bạn có thể chia sẻ một vài cái không?
Yes, I can. I like taking photos when I see anything interesting or beautiful.
One of the reasons why people take a selfie is to keep beautiful memories or moments. When people travel to a beautiful place, or when a group of people are having a good time, they’d like to take a selfie.
I have different kinds of photos in my smart phone. I take photos of people, food, landscapes, flowers, and streets etc. Sure, I’m happy to share some photos in my phones.
