2. Accommodation – Home
What kind of housing/accommodation do you live in?
I currently live in a spacious apartment in the heart of the city.
Do you live in a house or a flat?

I live in a flat. It's part of a modern apartment complex.
2
What's the difference between where you are living now and where you have lived in the past?
The main difference is the location. In the past, I lived in suburban houses, which were more spacious but less
convenient in terms of access to amenities and work. My current flat offers a more urban lifestyle with easy
access to restaurants, shops, and public transportation.
Can you describe the place where you live?

My apartment is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit on the tenth floor of a high-rise building. It has large
windows that offer a fantastic view of the city skyline. The living room is open and inviting, and the kitchen is

family activities.

distance, which makes commuting and getting around the city very convenient.
Please describe the room you live in?

My bedroom is a cozy retreat within my apartment. It has a comfortable king-size bed, soft lighting, and a
calming color scheme. I've decorated it with artwork and personal mementos, creating a peaceful and inviting
atmosphere that helps me relax and unwind.
Do you prefer living in a house or a flat?

I prefer living in a flat. The convenience of apartment living, with amenities like maintenance, security, and
easy access to the city's offerings, suits my current lifestyle better than the responsibilities that come with
owning a house.
What part of your home do you like the most?

I particularly enjoy our balcony. It's a small oasis where I can have my morning coffee, read a book, or simply
enjoy the view. It provides a sense of connection to the outdoors in the midst of urban living, and I find it quite
refreshing.

people make it a special place for me.

While I love Saigon, like any city, it does have its challenges, such as traffic congestion and pollution.
However, these are minor compared to the city's overall charm.

restaurants offering both traditional and international cuisine. It's a food lover's paradise.

renowned for its rich history, with landmarks like the War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels. The city
is also famous for its lively street markets, where you can experience the local culture and taste delicious street
food. Saigon is a city that never sleeps, with a mix of modern skyscrapers and colonial-era architecture.
Do you think you will continue living there for a long time?
While I have a strong attachment to Saigon, I can't say for certain if I will continue living here indefinitely. Life
is full of surprises, and opportunities or circumstances may lead me to explore other places. However, Saigon

4. Ice cream

Yes, fortunately, there are a couple of ice cream shops conveniently located near my home. These shops offer a
diverse selection of flavors and toppings, which is great for satisfying my ice cream cravings. It's nice to have these
options just a short walk or drive away whenever I want to indulge in a cold and sweet treat.
4 Can you make ice cream by yourself?

Making ice cream by myself is a venture I've undertaken a few times. I invested in an ice cream maker that allows
me to experiment with creating different flavors and combinations. It's a bit more involved than simply buying it
from a shop, but the results are often incredibly rewarding. I get to control the ingredients, adjust the sweetness to
my preference, and even come up with unique flavors that might not be available commercially. It's a fun kitchen
project that not only yields delicious ice cream but also gives me a sense of accomplishment.
5. Concentration
1 Could you stay focused in class when you were a child?
Staying focused in class as a child was sometimes a challenge for me. While I had subjects that captured my
attention, there were also moments when my mind would wander, especially if the topic wasn't particularly
engaging.
2 What do you do to help you concentrate?

To help improve my concentration, I use a few techniques. I find that breaking tasks into smaller, manageable
chunks makes them less overwhelming. Creating a quiet and organized workspace, minimizing distractions like
my phone or social media, and practicing mindfulness techniques like deep breathing also contribute to better
focus.
3 Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?

Yes, there are times when staying focused on a task can be a bit challenging. Especially with the constant influx of
information and distractions in today's world, maintaining uninterrupted focus can be tough. However, with
practice and the right strategies, I've been able to improve my ability to concentrate.
4 When do you need to be focused?

I find that I need to be focused when I'm working on complex tasks that require critical thinking and attention to
detail. This is particularly true for projects at work or when studying for exams. Additionally, activities like driving,
participating in important conversations, or even when trying to learn a new skill demand a high level of focus to
ensure safety and effective learning.
6. Fixing things
1 Can you fix things?
Yes, I'm capable of fixing various things, but it really depends on the nature of the task. I have knowledge about
troubleshooting and repairing different items, both simple and complex.
2 What kinds of things can you fix?
5
Mechanical things mainly – things like my bike… emmm… I'm also pretty good at fixing things around the home
that might go wrong, like pictures or a wobbly chair leg. Basic things like that.
3 Have you ever asked people to teach you how to fix things?
I think once I asked my grandmother to help me repair a hole in a pair of jeans I had. You know, she had a sewing
kit – needle and thread etc. So, yeah, she taught me how to sew, come to think of it. I can sew quite well. You
know, holes in my socks and things like that!
4 Do you think fixing things is a necessary skill?

Absolutely, the ability to fix things is undoubtedly a valuable and necessary skill. It empowers individuals to be
self-reliant, saves money by avoiding unnecessary repairs, and contributes to environmental sustainability by
promoting reuse and reducing waste. Furthermore, being able to troubleshoot and fix problems fosters a sense of
accomplishment and confidence in one's abilities.
7. Friends
1 How important are friends to you?
Friends are incredibly important to me. They provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of
belonging. Having friends enriches my life and gives me opportunities to share experiences, seek advice, and
create lasting memories.

emotional support.

you'd maybe call them acquaintances. So, yes, I'd say I have many friends – I'm a really social person. But I am
also very aware that we can only have a few genuinely close friends in life – people that we really click with, who
also will support us through thick and thin.

stay indoors with a good book or movie. On the other hand, constant rain can sometimes feel gloomy and limit
outdoor activities.
2 Does it rain much in your city?
6

the environment lush and maintaining water resources, but it can also lead to challenges like flooding and
disrupted plans.

Personally, I think I'd prefer living in a place with a balanced climate. While I enjoy occasional rain and its
benefits, I wouldn't want to live in an area that's too wet or too dry. A moderate climate with a mix of sunny and
rainy days would be ideal for me.
4 Have you canceled any plans because of rain?

Yes, I've had to cancel or modify plans due to rain. Outdoor events, picnics, and hikes often need to be
rescheduled or moved indoors when the weather doesn't cooperate. While it can be disappointing, it's also an
opportunity to find alternative activities and make the most of the situation.

bag for quick access to essentials while exploring.

I do switch bags occasionally, especially if I need something specific for a particular occasion or outfit. However, I
tend to have a few go-to bags that suit most of my daily needs.

Yes, I did use a backpack when I was a child. It was an essential item for carrying books and school supplies. I
remember picking out a new backpack each school year, often with a design I liked.

might choose a stylish handbag, a functional backpack, a trendy tote, or even a travel duffel. It's a versatile gift that
can match someone's style while being genuinely useful in their everyday life or travels.

field. I was not really interested in teaching, and neither did I like the idea of dealing with classrooms full of
children.
4 What kinds of teachers do you prefer?

I appreciate teachers who are knowledgeable, passionate about their subjects, and skilled at explaining complex
concepts in understandable ways. Teachers who foster a supportive and inclusive classroom environment,
encourage open discussion, and adapt their teaching methods to different learning styles are particularly effective

species.
2. Have you ever been to a zoo or a safari park?

Yes, I've been to both zoos and safari parks. Zoos offer a chance to see a wide range of animals up close, which

different culture through its language and improve my communication skills.
3. Do you think it's difficult to learn a new language?

Learning a new language can be both challenging and rewarding. It requires consistent effort, practice, and
patience. The difficulty level can vary based on the complexity of the language, its similarity to languages you
already know, and your dedication to learning. However, the feeling of being able to communicate in a different
language and connect with people from different backgrounds makes the process worth it.
4. Will you learn another language in the future?

Certainly, I'm open to the idea of learning another language in the future. Whether it's for personal enrichment,
travel, or career opportunities, I believe that learning new languages is a valuable skill that broadens one's
horizons and fosters cross-cultural understanding.
5. Why do people learn foreign languages?

People learn foreign languages for various reasons. Some learn because it's a requirement for their job or
education, while others do it to communicate with family or friends who speak that language. Learning a foreign
language can also open up new travel experiences, help individuals connect with different cultures, and
appreciate literature and media from around the world. Ultimately, it's a way to bridge gaps and foster better
global communication.

My main ambition in life now is to build a successful career in my chosen field and make a positive impact on
society. I strive to contribute to meaningful projects, help others, and lead a fulfilling life that aligns with my values
and passions.
4. Are you the kind of person who never gives up on dreams?

Absolutely, I believe in the importance of persistence and resilience when it comes to pursuing dreams. While
challenges and setbacks might arise, giving up is not an option for me. I believe in learning from failures, adapting
strategies, and persevering until I achieve what I set out to accomplish.

nearby town, and simply disconnect from work. Having that extra time allowed me to fully relax and rejuvenate.
4. What would you like to do if you had a day off tomorrow?

If I had a day off tomorrow, I'd plan a mini adventure. Maybe I'd take a day trip to a scenic location, go for a hike,

refreshing for me. I'd also make sure to spend some time just resting and unwinding, as that's an essential part of
making the most of a day off.

plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise is also essential for me, so I engage in
activities like jogging, yoga, and cycling to stay physically active. Getting enough sleep, managing stress through
relaxation techniques, and staying hydrated are also key components of my health routine.

I really enjoy playing tennis. It's a sport that combines physical activity with strategy and concentration. It's a great
way for me to stay active, challenge myself mentally, and have fun all at once.

without the pressures of the workweek.
3. Which day is your least favorite in a week?

weekend to the workweek can sometimes feel a bit challenging, as I have to shift back into a more structured
routine.
4. Is there anything you do every day?

healthy breakfast, do some form of physical activity, and set aside time for reading or learning something new.
