don't like.
B: Could we talk about this?
A: Yeah! I think they sold souvenirs too expensive for their real
value.
B: Well, I’m not sure.
A: Why? Is there something wrong with what I said?
B: Perhaps you should look at things more positively than, the
craftsmen have had to put in the effort and time to make those

work and recognize their artistic talents.

A: Is there anything in your life that you are thankful for?
B: I think that is my family
A: That sounds good. Why you’re grateful for them?
B: Because my family has always been my strong support when I got
into trouble. They always encourage and help me come over it.
Furthermore, we also have a strong connection. To be honest, to say
thank you is not enough for them. And you? Is there anything you
want to say thank you to your family?
A: I don't know what to say. I feel very lucky and I am always
grateful to my parents, who gave birth to me and gave me life, raised
me until now, willing to forgive all my mistakes. And my parents are
always supportive of all my choices. I owe them a lot.
B: That’s amazing! Do you spend most of your time with your

B: Very well. You’re really such a good daughter.

B: No way!
A: Why? Why don't you like that movie? I think it's pretty good. The
heroine sings so well.
B: Well, to be honest, since the Disney producer released the trailer
for that movie. I thought Ariel had to be white and red hair, but look
what they showed us! It's not exactly the same animation I saw when I
was a kid!
A: I know what you mean, but she has a great voice. And most
importantly, I think the beauty of the character is not only the
appearance but also the inner soul. Personally, I don't think there's
anything to criticize about this movie.
B: OK! Whatever you say, I totally disagree.

study abroad in Australia before, right?
Son: Actually, Yes, I found a place to apply for a study abroad visa! I
also found a school in Australia that I like!
Mom: I suppose so, but if you can't communicate well in English,
how can you study abroad? I don't even have an Ielts license!
Son: Not necessarily, Mom. You can study English after you go to
Australia.
Mom: I don't think so. If you go to Australia to start learning
English, it will take a lot of time and sometimes not keep up with the
lessons in class.
Son: Can you trust me this time, mom? I promise I will study hard!
Mom: Okay, I believe you this time. If you don't study well, I will

year resting to stabilize myself.
Mom: Really? Do you think so?
A: Yes! Over the past year I've found myself spending too much time
at work, and sometimes I feel a lot of pressure.
Mom: I can’t believe you think so, I disagree with you!
A: Why, mom? I thought it was normal.
Mom: Having such a good job, just because of a little pressure, you
have to take a year off from work to relieve yourself?
A: I can see your point, but I want to experience everything out
there.

bì nhựa. một số lập luận bạn có thể làm cho việc giảm nhựa là gì?
cùng nhau thảo luận về điều này.)
A: The quantity of using plastic packages is increasing in many ways.
But in my point of view it comes from people doesn't know the
consequences of abusing plastic bags.
B: Can I just say that? Because the price of plastic bags is cheaper
than any bags outside. So they don’t care about the problem behind
using it.
A: I get your point, but if the buyer knows it, they can carry a bag to
store the products they bought.

B: I can see your point. Brands and supermarkets or food stores are
prioritizing paper bags and paper straws. This is a good start and will
become a trend for all brands, and stores around the world.
A: Back in my hometown, I've started propaganda using cloth bags to

V: I worked very hard to finish it. How do you feel about that
picture?
Q: Well, I’m not sure.
V: Oh! Then can you tell me what's wrong with the painting?.
Q: If I were you, I would choose the dark tone for the picture.
Because choosing the dark tone of the picture clearly illustrates the
subject you're drawing.

choosing colors for the painting. Next time I'll focus more on the
color of the painting.

out if there are any companies that hire people for that job. And just
apply.
