Speaking lesson 4
1. What kinds of public transport does your country have?
Obviously, there's quite a mixed variety of public transport in my country. When we travel on
the roads, it’s easy to find a mass of buses, taxis, or even trains. If someone want to go abroad,
they can choose plane. However, the most commonly-used would potentially be buses as they
are so cheap and reliable.
2. Are there any public transport problems in your country?
With an increase of private cars in my country, during the rush hour there are always jam-
packed and people often complain to this. The road quality, furthermore, is too run-down to
meets the needs of the vehicular traffics. This might leads to the increase in accidents recently.
3. When is it acceptable to lie?
I believe lies, white lies or half-truths, are acceptable acts when they are done with good
intentions, be it providing comfort or avoiding hurting feelings. A doctor can choose to tell a
dying cancer patent that he has more time to live to put the patent’s mind at ease.
4. What do you think about the fact that everybody has lied at least once?
I believe lying is part of our nature, as everybody wants to keep a perfect image in front of
others. In other words, nobody wants to expose their flaws or weaknesses, so they decide to
cover them up with lies. Therefore, the fact that everybody has lied at least once, to me, just
makes us more human.
5. What kinds of changes do people in your country usually make?
I believe that the only thing permanent in this world is change and that’s uncontrollable. People
will change their interests, their perspective on life change, or even relationships change...
6. What are the common reasons people need to change plans?
If a situation is problematic, or unsuitable, making certain changes to improve it can be a good
solution.
7. Who is more adaptable to changes? Young or old people?
young people.
Young people nowadays are working on multiple things, They are more creative, they like to do
multitasking, in order to achieve this, they make frequent changes in their plans.
1. How much do you sleep every day?
Well, it actually depends on how heavy my workload is on that day. Whenever I work to
meet a deadline, I have to stay up very late and just get 4 or 5 hours sleep. At weekends,
when I have nothing to do or worry about, I allow myself to sleep longer until 9 o’clock before I
get out of my bed.
2. Do you have enough sleep?
3. Do you take naps at noon?
Yes, of course. Taking a nap is one of Vietnamese culture. Though it’s just a short nap, it
makes me feel better, ensure more energy for the afternoon, not to make our body feel
sluggish ( uể oải)
What will happen if you don’t sleep enough?
Enough Sleep plays an important role in the function of the brain. If we don’t sleep enough we
can be at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease, high blood
pressure diabetes – and it shortens our life expectancy ...
