LEVELS 3 – 5

PART I: SOCIAL INTERACTION (~ 3 mins)

Let’s talk about television

● How much TV do you watch a day?

-> I spend an hour in the evening after dinner watching TV with my family.

● What's your favourite TV programme?

-> Among many programs and channels available on TV these days I am really into the
program “the World of Animals”.

This program is usually shown on VTV2 which lasts about 45 minutes. In this program,
stories of the life of many animals in the world are told in a very lively way. In addition, I also
learned that it is very important to protect these animals and their living environments
because they are part of our valuable natural world. Watching this program makes me very
well informed and relaxed after a day of work.

● Do you think television has changed in the past few decades?

Obviously, yes the television has become grander when compared to before but then
fundamentally it has remained the same. Still There still are drama shows , reality shows and
news.

Now, let’s talk about museum

● Do you often visit a museum?

No, it’s such a shame to admit but I’m not the type who enjoys strolling around museums. I
know the importance of those museums but I feeli feel like I easily get bored. I couldn’t stay
for long learning those things that we can find in museums like artifacts.I’m sorry to say, I’m
not entertained by museums.

● When was the last time you visited a museum?

The closest time that I could remember was in 2018. It was a trip to Saigon on Tet holiday
that I had with my friend and we decided to go to the Vietnam Arts museum during the
weekend in HCM City. It was a museum that shows all of the works of art of Vietnamese
artists throughout history, and I had a really fun time there looking at different paintings and
sculptures. Really fond memories have been made in that place.

● Do you think museums are important?

Absolutely yes! Because of the existence of museums, we get to widen our understanding of
culture, history, and traditions. Also, museums will always have a role in educating the
future generations, making them understand how their history was formed, and that’ll
surely teach them to appreciate be appreciative of the life that they have.

Next week is your best’ friend 's birthday. You are going to give her a great birthday
present
There are THREE options for you to choose:

Explain the option you have chosen.

Next week is my best friend's birthday. I am going to give her a great birthday present. There
are three options for me to choose such as a book, a scarf and a handbag. From my point of
view, the best choice for me is a book because of some following reasons:

Firstly, she loves to read books and collects a lot of books. Secondly, buying books is within
my budgetmybudget ability to pay because I am still a student. Finally, recently she has
becomeis interested in a book named “...” but she hasn’t bought can’t buy it yet. Therefore,
I think she will be very happy if I give it to her.

However, I don’t didn't choose a scarf to give my friend because the weather in Vietnam is
hot and my friend doesn't like scarves. Also, I don’t didn't choose to give the handbag to my
friend because she already has a lot of handbags at home so I don't think my friend will need
any more.
To sum up, if I were in thise case, I would buy a book for her because of the reasons
mentioned above.I have mentioned.

food

Bring family together

● Do you like cooking?

Yes, I do. I like cooking for myself and my family because cooking is a great way of
relaxing for me.
● What kinds of food do you choose to cook?
I usually cook simple food, like a three main-course-meal for my family.
● Do you think cooking is a man’s job or a woman’s job?

It is true to say that homemade food has a lot of benefits. I would like to start with the
convenience of homemade food. We can control our calories we import to our body,
therefore we can do the exercise to check the export calories to improve our fitness and
health. Besides that, we can know the quality of the food we eat.
Obviously, in my opinion, I like healthy foods, so I like to choose clean and simple dishes to
cook in every meal. That’s the reason I always try to put healthier ingredients such as fresh
vegetables, carrots, bamboo shoots, peppers, tofu, along with meat to cook in order to get a
balanced diet.

Thirdly, eating home-made food can save time. We do not need to think much about what
kind of food or do not ask for the whole family’s opinions before ordering ready-made ones.

3. Traditionally, women tend to cook at home. But in my opinion, it’s the job of whoever
enjoys cooking, especially more or - in a family where both parents work - whoever has the
time on a working evening. Furthermore, You need to be able to cook to survive. Cooking is
a life skill everyone needs to learn.
