1 Giving gifts

Vote

0%

1. Do you like giving or receiving gifts?

I guess even the smallest gift can bring a smile to my face, because who doesn’t love to receive free stuff anyway? On the other hand, I’m pretty inarticulate and not good at putting things into words so I often give people a gift to show how much I care about them. 

• Bring a smile to one’s face: khiến ai đó cười 
• Inarticulate (adj): không giỏi diễn đạt bằng lời nói 

2. What kind of gifts do you like to receive?

I guess I would love to receive things that can be put into daily use, rather than something I have to keep in the cupboard, so it can be an item of clothing, a coffee mug, or even a rug for my bathroom. I don’t care much about the cost of the gift, but its capability is what matters to me. 

3. When do people give gifts or presents in your country?

Well, people give gifts on special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, graduation day or house-warming parties. Well, but I believe if you truly love someone, you can always give them a gift for no particular reason. 

 4. When did you last receive a gift?

I just turned 18 last month, so on my birthday my friends bought me a bunch of presents, but I particularly love the beautiful white dress my best friend Susan got me. We see eye to eye in fashion and clothing so she picked the exact dress that I’ve always wanted and I’ve been wearing it very often. 

• See eye to eye: có cùng quan điểm 

2 Accommodation

0%

Do you live in a house or an apartment?

I live in a house that is located in a small alley in district 3 with my family. Because district 3 is considered as the heart of Ho Chi Minh city, all amenities are available within walking distance, like markets, churches, hospitals and all kinds of fashion shops and restaurants. That means I can easily grab anything I need in just a few minutes. So I really enjoy my life there.

• Alley (n): con hẻm 
• Amenities (n): đồ dùng thiết yếu

Would you like to move to a different home in the future?

Although my current accommodation is perfectly fine, I would love to experience living in a cottage once. Since it was my childhood dream to live near a forest, a small thatched-roof and rustic house located quietly at the edge of a jungle would be my dream house.

It would be made of timber and have 2 rooms, one’s for me and the other is for the guests. It sounds small but it would be cozy and fully-furnitured by only environmentally friendly interior ornaments and other necessary mod cons.

• Cottage (n): nhà chòi 
• Thatched-roof (adj): có mái lợp bằng lá 
• Interior ornaments (n): phụ kiện, nội thất

3. How is your apartment decorated?

My home is styled in a minimal way. Almost everything is painted in plain white, and a few landscape paintings and all small blue modern ornaments act as delicate touches. The interior design is simple, yet convenient and very pleasant to look at.

• Plain white (adj): trắng tinh
• Delicate (adj): tinh tế 

3 Colours

1. Were colours important to you when you were a child?

Well yes, I’ve always loved colours but my favourite has always been blue. I had my mom buy me toys and clothes that were all blue. Up until now, blue is still my favourite colour and it’s become a part of my identity.

• Have s.o do something: thuyết phục ai đó làm điều gì
• Up until now: cho đến bây giờ
• Identity (n): cá tính, đặc tính  

2. Are there any colours that have a special meaning in your country?

Yes, of course, red is the colour that represents good luck. That’s why at Tet, our holiday during the Lunar New Year, you often see the elderly and parents hand red envelopes containing “lucky” money to their children and grandchildren.  

• Represent (v): đại diện
• Hand (v): đưa cho (hiểu là cho/ tặng)
• Red envelopes: bao đỏ/bao lì xì

3. What colours would you choose to paint the walls of your room?

I’ve mentioned earlier that I absolutely love blue, so without a doubt, that’s my go-to color. I would also consider combining it with white since that’s my second favorite color.

• Go-to (adj): yêu thích
• Consider + v-ing: cân nhắc việc gì đó

4 Neighbours

Vote

0%

1. Do you like your neighbors?

Yes, we have a very close relationship, we share too much in common and we love and support each other. I love my neighbors as my nearest and dearest.

2. Are your neighbors usually close to each other in your country?

Absolutely yes. In Vietnam, we have several folk verses and proverbs to prove the importance of having a close relationship with neighbors. Ya know, having conflicts and disputes with neighbors can do more harm and good, so we often get along well with each other.

3. What is your neighborhood like?

I have to say that they are kind, generous, supportive, and amiable. Whenever my family is faced with any adversity, we can turn to our neighbors for advice or help and support. And when everything is settled, we just get together and throw a party to return a favor.

4. How can neighbors be helpful?

Yes, as I said before, they are so lovely and supportive. Sometimes, when my family travels together for a long period of time, we can ask them to keep an eye on our house. At night, we can gather, strike up a proper conversation, make some jokes, then the whole can burst into laughter. That is the way we unwind after a long day of working and studying.

5 Places

Vote

100%

1. What place do you most like to visit? 

It is what we call an “acoustic café” in Vietnam. Acoustic cafes sell beverages and host performances by singers and acoustic guitarists. 

• Beverage (n): thức uống
• Host (v): tổ chức

2. How often do you visit this place? 

I go there every Saturday night after finishing my homework. There’s always a mini show at that time. 

3. Why do you like it so much?

As a student, I can’t really fork out 500.000VND to go to a concert. Going to this place is a way cheaper alternative and arguably more fun because you can interact with the artists on stage more easily. 

• Fork out (phrasal verb): chi trả
• Alternative (n): lựa chọn

4. Is it popular with many other people? 

Yeah, as far as I can see, many of my friends also enjoy going to such places. It’s a good way to escape from your daily life. 

• As far as I can see: theo tôi thấy
• Escape (v): thoát

5. Has it changed very much since you first went there?

Apart from it being more crowded these days, nothing else has changed. And that is one of   the reasons why I keep coming back to this place. 

• Apart from: ngoại trừ
