Part 1 :
Hi, my full name is Tran Thi Nhu Quynh, student ID is 21092541. I am studying in
the Management Department, class DHMK17D , of Industrial university of ho chi
minh city.
1. How often do you eat out ?
Well, not very often. I usually eat out with my family on special occasions
such as the birthday of member family, relative parties and we go to
restaurants, but normally we have meals at home. I also eat with my friends
at the weekend or my friend's birthday.
2. How do you spend your free time ?
I have always been a music lover, so whenever I have free time, I just put on
my earphones and enjoy my favorite music. For me, music provides an
escape from the busy life as it is both relaxing and therapeutic.
3. Are you reading any good books at the moment?
Yes, I am. I’m reading the book “How much is youth worth?" by writer Rosie
Nguyen” .The book is stories about her life .She want to convey to the young
Vietnamese generation that the young years are precious and should not be
wasted in vain. I have learned a lesson for myself is to cherish my time, while I
am still young and spend more time on self-development.
4. Where do you normally go on holiday?
I normally go on holiday in DaLat. DL is different from others places by its
unique climate and magnificant nature that others cities in Vietnam does not
have. Its cuisine is also diverse and delicous, which has a variety kind of food
from many places on the world.Thanks to these condition, I can relieve stress
and enjoy the food whenever I come here - DL hold a lot of meaningful memory
and this place will always be my most favorite place to come on holiday.
Part 2 :
1. Describe your daily routine
In the morning, if I have the earliest lesson starts at 6:30 am, I will get
up early to prepare. First, I brush my teeth, wash my face and apply
sunscreen to my face, my body because sunshine in Sai Gon has high
ultraviolet rays. I usually have the habit of drinking honey lemon every
morning, which is good for my health.
Next, I have breakfast, wear a uniform, and prepare books for university.
My rented house is near the university, so I can walk for about 5 minutes.
Because my lessons throughout from 6:30 am to 11:40 am, I have lunch
at the canteen of my university with friends.
In the afternoon, on days when there are no lessons, I will do self-
learning. On days with classes, I study until the earliest at 3:00 pm and the
latest at 5:40 pm.
With the days when there are classes off and online learning everything
happens like that but instead of going to university, I will open a laptop to
study at home.
In the evening, I with my roommate go to the market buy some food to
cook and eat dinner. Then , I have activities with my club. Finally, I go
home, review today’s lesson, brush my teeth and sleep to prepare the
energy for a new day.
2. Talk about how to improve your life.
If you are looking to make huge improvements in your life it doesn't
matter what you do every once in a while that's what you do Every day
makes you better
First, I try to get up early in the morning every day, place alarm opposite
end of bed. I’m not simply going to reach over to my phone grab it and hit
the snooze button every 10 minutes for 2 hours instead I actually have to
get out of bed to turn alarm off.
The next one so really help me to increase productivity and control work
effectively, I make a list of things to do in a day and set goals for a month or
a year.
Part 1 :
I don’t like watching basketball. Because in high school I was got hit in the
face by a ball that made my nose bleed and broke my glasses. From then on I
was obsessed and scared of that sport.
Part 2 :
1. Talk about your interests
My interest is the one that I do not need free time to do, because I can put
on my earphones and listen to music whenever I want. Except school
time, music lives with me for almost the rest of the day. I listen to it when
I am on the bus, when I do the house chores, when I am taking a shower,
and whenever I feel like I need it.
Music is always a new thing, because there are countless of different
songs for me to enjoy. Some of my favorite types are Pop, Ballad, and
Dance. Each of them gives me a different feeling, so I choose the songs
to listen to according to my current mood. I listen to Pop songs when I am
comfortable and happy, Ballad is for relaxing, and Dance is for when I
want to move my body.
I do have some of my favorite singers, and I usually download their
whole album to my phone. There are many songs in my phone, and
sometimes I have to delete the old ones because there is no space left.
Music helps me to relax, cheer up my mood, and ease my nerves after a
long exhausting day. Since it does not take too much of my time, éffort
and money, I will feel free to consider it as my favorite activity of all
time.
UNIT 3 :
Part 1 :
Yes, there are. Traffic jam regularly happens in Ho Chi Minh city. The
transportation system of my city is almost roads. Therefore, the number of
major transports are more and more crowded on streets. it is
worst during the rush hour when everyone is in a hurry to get to work or
come back home.
Part 2:
1. Talk about your favorite means of transportation
My favorite means of transportation is motorbike.
First of all its price is suitable for students like me.
Second, this kind of vehicle is very flexible. The design of the motorbike
is cómpact but has a fast engine (ˈenjən), it makes it easy for me to slip
through obstacles and save a lot of time when I go to university. I can
control the time easily when riding a motorbike to wherever I want to go.
Traffic accidents can happen but driving motobike is safer and avoiding
traffic jams
In addition, the traffic in Saigon is very crowded,therefore, I often
explore small alleys and shortcuts to go faster. While entering to those
shortcut or alleys I came across food and drink stores that are now my
favorites store I usually eat or drink
However, motorbike also has some limitations such as smog( smäɡ). But,
the effécts it gives still make me want to use it.
Finally, it was a priceless gift because my parents gave it to me after I
graduated from high school.
2. Give travel advice to a visitor who arrives in VN for the first time
If you are visitor who arrive in VN for the first time
you want to go from one city to another but have little time, you
should go by plane because it is much faster than others and is also the
safest all means of transport.
Beside, a motorbike is an excellent means of transportation that
provides the most exciting and authentic travel experience.
Motorbikes can be rented at hotels, cafés, and tourist companies
around Vietnam. If you hire a motorbike or scooter, inspect it well
before riding, and keep in mind that helmets are required in
Vietnam
If You are not ready to go on the road, you should go out with local
friends , another option is to find Grab biker or taxi ,which will be
more assured because the price is displayed, you just need to search
for the location and they’ll take u to the exact place you’ve booked
In other more peaceful cities like Hue, you can enjoy a cyclo trip
with slow riding, but if you simply want to move between two
destinations, look for a “motorbike service”.
That is all I can suggest for first-timer. All I hope is that you will
enjoy Vietnam the fullest.
UNIT 4:
Part 1 :
1. Are you a person who takes risks or are you usually very careful?
I am usually very careful. Because I'm a perfectionist. Even the little
details need to be perfect for me. I think it's better to have a meticulous
plan, instead of taking uncontrollable risks, to achieve success. Being
careful all the times doesn't give me chances to experience/try new
interesting things
2. What is a big achievement in your life so far?
A big achievement in my life so far is to be first rank in grade 12.
Maybe to my peers our there, I'm nothing. But for me, it's the process of
trying and working hard to get such a result. I’m very happy and proud of
myself
3. What will be a big challenge for you in the future?
In the future, I think a big challenge for me is to get 600 points in Toeic
test when I am the third-year student. It can help me qualify to graduate
from college and get a good job because there's a lot of competition in big
city, I will try hard to get into a good company to work and develop
myself.
4. Is there any kind of risky activity you would to try in the future?
I think the kind of risky activity I would to try in the future is traveling
abroad alone, I'm going to a foreign country, I've never been. It’s risky
because I could become a target for bad guys or have trouble being
alone in a strange place.
Traveling alone can be more expensive because there is no one to share
room or taxis with.
But the benefits of traveling alone help me gain life experience and
improve my survival skills
Part 2
The time when I was getting ready for the university entrance exam. This is an
unforgettable event that happened to me in the past.
During this time back in 2021, I had to not only go to school on the basis but
also had to join extra classes because the content of the exam
was humongous. To put it clearly, I went to school from 7 in the morning until
9 in the evening. The pressure was so high because my major in university the
previous year had point quite high. However, my parents were
very supportive and caring which help me to push more and try harder.
Looking back at it, although the pressure seems to be unhealthy for me, I think
it is worth it. My career, what I am doing, where I am and what I will become
are shaped by this event .If I didn’t pour out all of my éfforts, I would not be
able to attend a prestígious university and would not receive a quality education
now. That’s why this is a very memorable event of my life.
