Question 1. Do you prefer to read books or newspapers?

Suggested answer flow: Books : why4what you don’t like4why

Honestly, I prefer to read books rather than newspapers. In my view,

books take me to different places. That is, books allow me to use my
imagination. On the other hand, I find newspapers annoying because
they are filled with many advertisements.

Question 2. Where do you like to read books?

Suggested answer flow: My own room : why4what result

I like reading books in my own room. When I read in my room, I do not

get distracted by other people. I even have a favorite chair in the corner
of my room to snuggle in for reading. Thus, I can concentrate on what I
am reading.

Yes, I do. I like discussing books I’ve read with my friends. This is a
good way of engaging them in a conversation. I also get to learn about
other books that they have read. If we happen to have read the same
book, then we can share our feelings and opinions about it.

Question 4. Is reading popular among young people in your country?

Suggested answer flow: Not very : why4What is popular

No, that is not very popular among young ones in Vietnam. This is
because of the growing popularity of the Internet. The trend nowadays
is that young people prefer playing online games, surfing the internet
and chatting with one another to reading books.

Question 1. How often do you paint something?

Suggested answer flow: Never : why4what you like4what you do

I have never painted because I do not have a talent for it. However, I like
to admire paintings of famous artists. When there are special exhibits in
museums, I take time to visit the museums and appreciate the paintings
on display there.

Question 2. Do you prefer to paint or to collect paintings?

Suggested answer flow: Collecting : why4which artists

I definitely prefer collecting paintings to making them. I don’t paint because I don’t
have the talent for it, and purchasing them is much simpler. Among my favorites in
my collection are paintings by Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Picasso.

Question 3. Do you have a favorite painting?

Suggested answer flow: Yes, I do : what4why4what is in it4what you think

Yes, I do. My favorite painting is the famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
Although I haven’t actually seen the painting, I have seen photos of it and it
reminds me of my mother. The painting is very controversial because of Mona
Lisa’s mysterious smile. I really believe that her smile has a secret meaning.

Question 4. Do you think drawing is difficult?

Suggested answer flow: Challenging : in what way4What is needed/required

Definitely! Drawing is challenging because for one, painters need good

imaginations. They have to be creative enough to capture the beauty of their
subject. Painting also requires focus and patience. People would say painting is a
skill, but I believe that it is a form of discipline, too.

Question 5. Do you think drawing is a good way to increase creativity?

Suggested answer flow: Of course : what it influences4what good things it brings

Of course! In my opinion, drawing has a positive influence on children’s creativity and

imagination. It is also a healthy hobby. More importantly, children who draw can express
their feelings and emotions through their works of art.

Question. Do you prefer to watch TV or read the newspaper?

Candidate A. I prefer to watch TV. High/low

Candidate B. oh, I prefer to watch TV rather than read the newspaper.

The reason is that reading the newspaper requires a lot of time and
concentration while watching TV is very easy. I mean I just have to sit
back and watch my favorite comedy series such as Friends and the High/low
Big Bang theory. I can even do other things like eat my meal, exercise
and even study while the TV is on. However, if you watch too much TV,
it can be very harmful to your eyes.
