TOPIC NO.13 SHOPPING

PART 1 .

Thu âm Part 1 này nhé bạn.

Question 1. Do you often go shopping for personal items?

Cách 1: Shopping is my cup of tea(sở thích). I often go shopping to meet the demand
about foods, clothes, and so on. It is also a way to blow off my mind/ let my
hair down (thư giãn).
Cách 2: To be honest, I am not a shopping addict. When I can afford it, I will go
shopping. I often do a lot of window shopping … but being a student I’m on a
tight budget so I have to be careful with money… Luckily, I do not often keep
up with the Jones (đua đòi), so I do not pursue this activity quite often.

Question 2. Are there many shops where you live?

Cách 1: I am living in an underdeveloped areas, We’ve got a few local shops nearby
and a few independent stores but none of the big high street names (cửa
hàng chuyên bán hàng hiệu).
Cách 2: I am living in a metropolis, so, I’d say that there are a wide range of shops
around here, local shops, independent stores, high street names, you name
it. It is really convenient when you want to buy something, even exclusive
ones.

Question 2. Do you enjoy shopping on the weekends?

Cách 1: It depends. I hate it when the sales are on, and crowds of people all trying to
snap up a bargain … I find it all a bit stressful … I also get annoyed when shop
assistants try to give me the hard sell when all I want to do is look around …
Cách 2: Yup, I often do shopping on the weekend at flea markets (hội chợ). They
often offters discounted items, and normally I also get a lot of deals.

PART 2 – SHOPPING IN A STREET MARKET .

Thu âm bài này bạn nhé

What: Recently, I have had an amazing trip to Hong Kong you know Hong Kong has
gained a reputation for a paradise of shopping and I had a really good time to
experience this in a popular street market. To be honest, I can’t remember the
name of the market distinctly coz I am not good at Chinese or Mandarin but in
English it’s called Ladies Market, which is located in the heart of Hong Kong.
When: The market opens from 9am to 11pm (eleven). It is quite busy from 6pm to
9pm. I got there at 7pm and people are packed like sardines in that market. I
mean, there was super crowded and noisy, I’ve never seen any bustling street
like that in VN or somewhere else though I have travelled to many places.
How: There are thousand kinds of goods such as clothes, jewelry, tea sets,
handicrafts, electronics, and many famous brand names are available there ,
but often priced very cheaply coz many of these goods are fakes or copies. Off
the top of my head, if you can’t find what you want here, it doesn’t exist.
One more thing, before the trip my friends reminded me over and over again
that “Let bargain when shopping”. It’s true, you know when I bought some
kinds of items as souvenirs. For every item, I made a bargain down the price by
50% and it worked oh my god, it seems to be terrible to someone who doesn’t
know about this and of course overpay.
Why: You know that Ladies Market left a strong impression in mind about foods,
about people you know the foods are very various and scrumptious and the
atmosphere’s very vibrant. If I have a chance I will come back and buy more.

PART 3 - DỊCH THUẬT TĂNG ĐIỂM

BÁM Ý CHÍNH – Ý PHỤ - KẾT QUẢ .
Question 1. Do you think an old person can always give good advice to a teenager?
Phụ nữ thường được coi là sinh vật của sắc đẹp, điều này có thể giải thích tại sao họ
thích mua sắm và thích trang phục xa hoa ở một mức độ đáng kể. Đầu tiên và quan
trọng nhất, trang phục là chỉ số trực quan của hình ảnh và tính cách cá nhân, do đó, họ
muốn ăn mặc phù hợp. Thứ hai, mua sắm không chỉ vì mục đích thời trang mà còn là
phương tiện thư giãn hiệu quả. Trong xã hội hiện đại, nơi có rất nhiều người bị căng
thẳng liên tục mỗi ngày, nuông chiều bản thân trong một số mua sắm nghiêm túc có thể
giúp giảm cân, mặc dù tạm thời. Cuối cùng nhưng không kém phần quan trọng, phụ nữ
thường tự mua sắm một mình nhưng phần lớn chi tiêu của họ là cho gia đình và bạn bè.
Họ thích ý tưởng tặng quà hoặc mua quần áo đẹp cho những người thân yêu của họ, do
đó, việc mua sắm chiếm vị trí cao trong danh sách việc cần làm của họ.
 Women are usually considered creatures of beauty, which may explain why they
love shopping and enjoy lavish costumes to a considerable degree. First and
foremost, outfits are visual indicators of personal image and personalities, hence,
they want to dress accordingly. Secondly, shopping is not only for the sake of
fashion but also an effective means of relaxation. In modern society where lots of
people are under constant stress every day, indulging oneself in some serious
shopping may help to take the weight off their mind, despite temporarily. Last
but not least, women don’t usually shop for themselves alone but most of their
spending is on family and friends. They relish the idea of giving gifts or buying
nice clothes for their beloved ones, therefore, shopping sits high on their to-do
lists.
