- THE WELL IT DEPENDS SCRIPT - (#TheKillerScripts)
Well it depends / If / but if
IS IT BETTER TO MAKE IMPORTANT LIFE DECISIONS ON YOUR OWN OR IS IT BETTER TO CONSULT OTHER PEOPLE?
Well, I think it really depends on —-the decision
being made.
If —- you’re (~~yer) confident about YOUR decision
and trust YOUR instinct, (like in the case of changing
a career) then YES you should make your OWN
decision.
But in many cases —- you NEVER have the experience in the first place (like getting married),
consulting others might be more beneficial in the
long run.
DO YOU THINK GOOD DECISION-MAKING CAN BE TAUGHT?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the person
Some people have a really good instinct in making
decisions and I believe instinct cannot be taught
because it’s so random. So in some cases, good
decision making cannot be taught.
But in general , education can provide a systematic
way of looking at a decision so one can certainly
think much more rationally when it comes to
decision making.
IS WATCHING TV A GOOD WAY OF FORGETTING ABOUT WORK OR STUDY?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the person
Some people just cannot forget about work and study because they’re too obsessed with what they
do. In other words, they think about that all the time because that’s so important to them.
But many are not like that , TV shows and movies are distracting in nature because they’re so entertaining so it’s quite easy to get distracted while
watching TV. So YES, it can be a good way.
SHOULD COWORKERS ALSO SPEND THEIR LEISURE TIME TOGETHER?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the
relationship
If you have a good relationship with your co-workers
then YES, everyone will have quality time together
But in many cases , the relationship among workers
are not strong enough (when compared to family or
friends), then I don’t think so.
DO YOU AGREE THAT ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE MAIN LANGUAGE OF INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the job
your job requires a lot of travelling and exchange
with foreign people then YES, English should be the
main language.
But in many jobs, all you need to do is stay in the
office and deal with local customers, then I don’t
think it’s a good idea.
CAN CLOTHING TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT A PERSON?
Well, I think it really depends on —- where that
person lives
If he or she lives in a place where most people wear
homogenous clothing, it’ll be rather hard to tell.
But if he or she lives in country where clothing is
used to express oneself like in the US or Canada,
then even the color can tell a lot about a person.
HOW DO YOU USUALLY CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Well, I think it really depends on —- my schedule
on my birthday
If I’m too busy on that day, then I won’t even have a
birthday party at all (which is kinda sad)
But if I’m not, I just hang out with some of my best
friends at a local coffee shop (you know, I’m not a
kid anymore)
HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the vehicle
you prefer to use
If you’re a car person, then I would say it’s quite
easy since the roads are usually big enough and the
traffic is not too bad.
But if you’re a bus person, then I don’t think it’d be
easy. Buses are not so reliable there.
HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the weather
If the temperature is too high or too low, then it’d be
very painful to get out and travel
But if the temperature is moderate, then I’d say it’s
quite easy to travel around.
HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?
Well, I think it really depends on —- the area
Some mountainous areas (like in the North) are
painful for drivers to move around
But some other areas (like in cities) are easy for any
type of vehicles (whether it be cars, motorbikes,
buses or trains)
HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?
Well, I think it really depends on your budget is large (which means you can afford
tranportation services), then it’d be very easy
But if your budget is low, it’d be very hard because
country is so large (and it’d take so many trips
to get around the country)

“Tôi biết rằng anh rấ t tức giận nhưng…”
“Tôi biết rằng đây là do lỗi của tôi nhưng…”
“Tôi hiểu rằng blah blah…”
“Tôi biết bạn cảm thấy bla bla và tôi”
Đó là những ví dụ c ủa Acknowledgement. Một lối tư duy rất phổ biến trong tiếng Anh mà mình muốn bạn master.
Khác với SCRIPT: Well it depends on / If / But if. The Acknowledgement Script được dùng ở cả 3 TASKS.
HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?
I know it may sounds unbelievable to you but…”
I would say it’s very easy.
I know it may sound unbelievable to you because
Vietnam is still a developing country but
Other than airplanes, trains and buses, you also
have motorbikes that allow you to travel to
anywhere you personally like. This is such a great
advantage of motorbikes over cars.
HOW DO YOU USUALLY CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY?
I don’t celebrate my birthday
I know it may sound a little unusual to you but I’m an adult now
So I don’t really care much about my birthday like many others. If anything, I would rather be with my
friends and family and that’s it.
IS IT BETTER TO MAKE IMPORTANT LIFE DECISIONS ON YOUR OWN OR IS IT BETTER TO CONSULT OTHER PEOPLE?
I believe it’s better to make important life decisions
on my own
I know it may sound like I’m all about me me me
but
Whenever I consulted other people, I made a wrong
decision. I understand that they have a lot of
experience but that kinda experience might not
apply to my own situation so I know it might be
great for some people to ask other people’s
opinions but for me I rather listen to my own inner
voice.
Form of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

SHOULD COWORKERS ALSO SPEND THEIR LEISURE TIME TOGETHER?
Of course they should (trả lời đầy đủ)
I know it might appear like they may get distracted but the thing is
Healthy relationships among workers are critical for
them and for the company as a whole. When the bonds are strong, they will be motivated to work
hard and that will lead to many positive outcomes.
SHOULD COWORKERS ALSO SPEND THEIR LEISURE TIME TOGETHER?
NO they should not (trả lời đầy đủ)
I know it might appear like I’m mean but I believe that
They should focus on their families and friends Quick Why more. I understand that work relationships are
important but nowadays people don’t spend enough to with their families and so they should be
aware of who really matters most to them.

DO YOU AGREE THAT ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE MAIN LANGUAGE OF INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE?
Of course I agree
I understand that some other languages are important as well but
English is probably the easiest to learn for non-native speakers. And it’s already very popular around the world so let’s keep it that way.
DO YOU AGREE THAT ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE MAIN LANGUAGE OF INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE?
No, I disagree
I understand that it may sound a little bit unusual but
think about it, many parts of the world still don’t use
English and there’s no problem whatsoever
Plus, many other languages (such as Chinese and
Japanese) are a lot easier to learn. I personally learn English just for fun because I know if I happen to go to Spain, people would prefer me speaking Spanish to English.
Calm down! I know you may think this and that, but here are my reasons
Calm down! I know you may think this and that, but here are my reasons
CAN CLOTHING TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT A PERSON?
Of course it can
I understand you might think about something like “Don’t judge a book by its cover” but
When you see a person wearing a suit, he or she Quick Why usually has a higher status than those who don’t.
Expensive clothing can be a sign of wealth.
CAN CLOTHING TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT A PERSON?
No it cannot
I know that rich people usually wear expensive clothing but many don’t.
Over the years I’ve seen many people who wear cheap clothing but are very generous and wealthy. So no, don’t judge a book by its cover.

That’s my fault, I wish I could go back in time and change it. Now I realize it’s very important so I’ll try my best to bla bla.
