Code 12:

Part 1:
1, Are museum in your country free of charge?
Actually no, you have to purchase entry tickets when you want to enter museums in my
country. Entrance fees are so reasonable that everyone can afford, which will help museums
control people’s activities and improve its facilities. Beside that, museums can cover their
costs of running: chi phí vận hành and paying salaries for employees.
2, Which way is better for learning history? Through reading books or visiting
museums?
Honestly, I believe it would be more interesting to visit museums and acquire historical
knowledge instead of immersing yourself in historic books. When you come and see
authentic artefacts displayed in museums and listen to historical stories from staffs, you will
have a better grasp of our historical significance rather than focusing on textbooks
containing merely words.
3, Should children be encouraged to visit museums to learn history?
To be honest, museums are centres filled with information: chứa đựng nhiều thông tin
designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind: khai sáng và giáo dục trí tò mò;
therefore, taking children to museums seem to be a good way help them love our history and
privide an effective way of learning because museums introduce them to unknown worlds,
spark their imagination: kích thích trí tưởng tượng and provide them with valuable
learning experiences through historical stories and authentic artefacts displayed in
museums.
1, Do you prefer a long break or several breaks?
Well, if I have to choose, I’m really into indulging a long break, I can travel somewhere
which helps me widen my perspective: mở rộng tầm nhìn on life. As you know, traveling
opens the door of great opportunities that can help me understand life better such as learning
cultural differences, lifestyles, traditions or customs and the like, which to me is refreshing.
2, How often do you take a break?
Actually, at my school, I have to study 5 days per week so that I often spend my break time in
the weekends, which allows me to hang out with my friends, we usually come to café, at
there we can ship a cup of coffee and inmerse ourself into romantic song played here, which
help me release stress after nerves – racking time at school and recharge my baterries.
3, What do you usually do during a break?
At school, between two lession, I have a short break, this break are really short and I like
doing a bit of workout which help me stretch my tight muscles: Kéo căng cơ bắp before
coming back my class, beside that mid shift breaks allow me to have a bite to eat and relax
for a while.
4, When do you usually have a break?
As a student, I have summer vacation and traditional Tet holidays. Among those breaks,
summer is actually my favorite since it’s the longest which usually takes up to two or three
months, while Tet holidays are only up to one or two weeks. In the summer, I can spend time
helping my parent clean my house and repair broken facilities.
1, Do you like art?
Actully, in my country, art is compulsory subject so I had to learn when I reached the age
coming to school, I had a life long passion for: cuộc đời đam mê cho art from that. Beside
official art class in my school, I also took part in singing class and my teachers were really
proud of with my voice. And then I was represented my school to participate in some singing
competitions back then and reached a lot of rewards for my school. But now, I have face a
bunch of work: một đống công việc, I donot have enough time chasing my passion.
2, Have you ever visited an art gallery?
Yes I have been to some, however, that was when I was still a primary schooler. I remember,
before we had our summer break, our art teachers usually took us to some art galleries in the
city, we were seen authnetic pictures and listened their history from my teachers but
unfortunately I can’t recall whether or not I enjoyed it.
3, Is there any artwork on the wall in your room?
Actully, my room is quite small and if I hang some pictures on the wall, it seems to be too
cramped: chật chội. However, my mother is an art lover and she loves collecting some
abstract paintings: tranh trừu tượng and hang them on the walls in the living room or
dinng rooms. Those pieces of artwork actually add life to our interior: thêm sức sống cho
nội thất của chúng tôi
4, Have you ever had art classes? (same as question 2)
Part 2:
Today I’m going to share with you a place where I usually go to relax after nerve – racking
time at school, which is a small café’ near my school named Bac Viet
As a full time student, to be more specific, I’m a senior at University, I have go to school at
least five days a week and I’m often up to my neck into assignment and presentation;
therefore, the only time that I can visit this place is on weekends. I always try to make time
for my little trip to Bac Viet café every Saturday or Sunday. The coffee house is located on a
quiet street with a lot of trees planted on both sides. Additionally, it has a patio: sân with
hanging gardens: vườn treo which I like very much; it makes me feel like I’m sitting in a
garden of my own.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city life, this place allows me to sit quietly and reflect,
relaxing after a week of hard study, I can not only escape from hetic schedule but also
concentrate on my hobbies such as reading some historical books or listening a romantic song
without being interrupted: gián đoạn by others. I often sip a cup of coffee and order some
cakes and the service is excellent. This place always smells very nice and staffs are also
friendly and helpful. So that when I come here I can escape from reality for a little: thoát
khỏi thực tại một chút while and enjoy myself even more: cảm nhận bản thân nhiều hơn.

- I still remembered clearly it was a mango tree. At that moment, I watered the tree on a daily
basis in the hope that it would grow rapidly.
- It has been 22 years now, and guess what, the mango tree is still alive and bears fruits every
summer!
4. Do you know how to grow any plants?

seeds; providing sufficient sunlight and water to spraying suitable fertilizers.

Part 2:
To the best of my recollection, since I was knee-high a grasshopper: Cao đến đầu gối như
con chấu chấu, I had a burning desire: mong muốn cháy bỏng to graduate the largest
university in Viet Nam. Therefore, when I was a senior at this school, I spent almost my time
studying, and then I had face the graduation thesis: luận án tốt nghiệp, and I had an
appointment with the teachers in the school to defend that thesis. I considered it the most
important appointment in my life. Therefore I had worked against the clock: trái thời gian
and buried my self: chôn vùi bản thân in a moutain of workload: núi công việc. I had to
burn the midnight oil: thức cả đêm to complete my assignment, at this time my eyes were
swollen: sưng vù like an owl: con cú. When the day came, I felt dead tired: mệt chết đi
được. You know, I had to make every effort to get up on time, but it was still late 10 minutes
and when I left my home I faced heavy traffic congestions: tắc nghẽn giao thông nặng nề
which is a common scenario: kịch bản chung in my city. My motorbike stuck in the middle
of an intersection: ngã tư and I had to move little by little: di truyển từng chút từng chút.
Finally, I reached my school 40 minutes later than my scheduled time. While my teacher
showed their sense of anger: cảm giác tức giận , I experienced the feeling of panic: cảm
giác hoảng sợ; therefore, I just protected my project with half a heart and had to face the
most difficult questions I had never experienced. I was rejected, and I felt extremely
disappointed. That was a painful experience for me, and since then, I’ve tried my best not to
be late for any appointments ever again.

Code 14:
Onestly, I have very few friends, and we are very close to each other, but when I study in
university which is far from my hometown, I do not keep in touch with them. And then I
immerse myself into hustle and bustle life, I think I could not see again my friend or
remember them. However, lastweek, I have time off lasts three days, I decided to travel to Do
Son beach near my rented house. I spent almost time swimming and tasting delicous seafood.
While I was sitting on a mat, which i had laid out on: trải lên the sand, and was enjoying a
picnic lunch. Suddenly, I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder. I turned around, and I was
surprised to see one of my closest friends Kien. We were born and bred together, and we
understood each other very well. I did not belive that I could see him at there, he told me that
he came to know my whereabouts through the photos which I had uploaded on facebook and
he was having a work near my place so he decided to surprise me. After big shock, he also
joined with me for the picnic and we tasted delicous seafood together. Untill now, he still
sometimes brings it up by saying that remember the time I surprised you at Do Son beach, I
am looking for an opportunity to supprise him but he is always on guard.
Part 3:
What is the benefit when someone has a date with you but they arrive late?
Actually, people usually thought that late for a date or appointment is an bad thing, but when
we look at the positive aspect, sometimes it is a good thing.
To me, whenever my friends late for our appointment, I usually spend that time to prepare
everything carefully such air my hair or my dress. I always interested in a perfect look when I
am in a public place. Especially in the first date, the look is extremely important which is the
means that each person have first asset to another.
What happens when someone has an appointment with you but they cancel it?
Franky, I am a kind of person who always prepare everything carefully when I have any
appointment so if anyone call it off I would feel like she or he turns me down, or even lost
my cool sometimes at that moment.
However, then I try to find out the reason, it would be no problems if he or she get inevitable
problem such as getting sick or their vehicles were break and I am willing to make another
appointment.
For some people who cancel it because of some unacceptable reason I would become
extremely angry and it is quite hart for me to give them any opportunities.
Why do some people have few friends? What is more important: new friends or old
friends?
People who have few friends seem to be have an introvert characteristic: đặc điểm hướng
nội. I consider myself as an example, I am a kind of people who always have a sense of
anxiety whenever I have to expose to stranger, there for my number of friends are quite limit,
instead of that, they always are the people who I extremely believe and understand, we
always by our side to help each other through many ups and downs in life.
I think the number of friends is not as important as the quality of them. Actually, people
would be so lucky when the have a great deal of friends who are willing to stay in their live
unconditionally, but it is not a problem if people have few friends, the most essential factor is
that how they treat each other.

Part 2:
Well, when it comes to a person who is very active and energetic, I would like to mention
about Binz because I’m a big fan of music so I often stream his songs on youtube as well as
find some daily activities that he enjoyed. As a famous singer, he always stands out from
the crowd: nổi bật giữa đám đông by the good sense of style: gu thời trang tốt.
Although experiencing the vicissitudes: thăng trầm cuộc sống of life and career, he is still
optomistic, never gives up and makes a lot of effort to create a better version of him on the
horizon.
I’m also inspired by one of his interesting songs released about 1 years ago, it is “big city
boy”, with catchy tunes and seductive melodies, Binz conveyed: chuyển tải the positive
energy and meaningful thoughts to me as well as other people.
He is always larger than life: tràn trề sức sống simply because it helps him to lower the
stress rate and enhance sleep quality: nâng cao chất lượng giấc ngủ which in turn
improves wellbeing: cải thiện sức khỏe. Absolutely, I admire him very much by his sense
of humor and because nothing gives me more pleasure than: không điều gì mang lại điều
thú vị cho tôi hơn là listening to his songs to recharge my battery after hectic day. He
provides me with more motivation to cope with challenges and obstacles in my life.
