Q

IS IT BETTER TO MAKE IMPORTANT LIFE DECISIONS ON YOUR OWN OR IS IT BETTER TO CONSULT OTHER PEOPLE?

A

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.

Q

DO YOU THINK GOOD DECISION-MAKING CAN BE TAUGHT?

A

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.

Q

IS WATCHING TV A GOOD WAY OF FORGETTING ABOUT WORK OR STUDY?

A

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.

Q

SHOULD COWORKERS ALSO SPEND THEIR LEISURE TIME TOGETHER?

A

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.

Q

DO YOU AGREE THAT ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE MAIN LANGUAGE OF INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE?

A

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.

Q

CAN CLOTHING TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT A PERSON?

A

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.

Q

HOW DO YOU USUALLY CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY?

A

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)

Q

HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?

A

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?

A

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.

Q

HOW EASY IS IT TO TRAVEL AROUND YOUR COUNTRY?

A

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)

A

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.

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

A

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.

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

Q

DO YOU AGREE THAT ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE MAIN LANGUAGE OF INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE?

A

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.

Q

DO YOU AGREE THAT ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE MAIN LANGUAGE OF INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE?

A

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.

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.

Q

Describe a historical place

What is the place?

Where is it located?

What is the historical meaning of the place?
A

Although I find it very beautiful, I don’t really know the historical meaning of the place. Well, I wish I could go back in time so I could understand it better.

But I think no one is sure about the meaning behind that place. I plan to really get to the bottom of it6 after I’m home to really understand what was going on in that place.

The fact that I don’t know anything about it really triggers my curiosity and that really makes the place

more mysterious. I will try my best to figure that out and hopefully that will interest you as well.

Q
  • THE WHICH I THINK IS -

#TheKillerScripts

A

Đây là một Killer Script mà người bả n xứ hay dùng mà bạn cần thành thạo. Nó rất dễ. Và trong quá trình đọc cuốn sách này bạn sẽ thấy mình dùng rất nhiều, which I think is important.

50
Q

WHAT KIND OF ART DO YOU ENJOY?

A

I enjoy music.

I believe music is one the best ways to communicate
feeling because it resonates in your brain even after
you stop listening, which I think is absolutely
incredible!

51
Q

I enjoy music.

I believe music is one the best ways to communicate
feeling because it resonates in your brain even after
you stop listening, which I think is absolutely
incredible!

A

I believe => Để communicate cái belief system của mình

Because => Để close the mind hole của examiner khi nghe câu trả lời của mình

Which I think is => để communicate feelings hoặc kết luận của bản thân.

52
Q

WHAT ARE THE TRADITION ART FORMS IN YOUR COUNTRY?

A

Very hard to say (because they’re many)
I can say it’s music, others can say it’s painting, some might even say dancing, which I don’t think is true . So the answer really varies depending on who you ask.
For me personally, I believe music is the tradition art forms in my country because it’s been around for so many years.

53
Q

Có một script nữa thuộc họ hàng với Script Well it depends

A

“So the answer varies depending on who you ask”, là một cách để cho giám khảo biết là “Tôi không biết câu trả lời chính xác”

54
Q

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PAINTING?

A

You’re asking the wrong guy because I don’t know zip about painting
But I believe it’s the hidden message of the painting that counts
Different painting conveys different messages, which is why I think messages are what distinguish one painting with others. So if you show me a painting, I would try to find the message behind it because I believe that’s very important.

55
Q

it’s been around for ~ it has been existing

I don’t know anything about (zip là một slang means nothing)

A

it’s been around for ~ it has been existing

I don’t know anything about (zip là một slang means nothing)

56
Q

DO YOU THINK CHILDREN SHOULD STUDY ARTS AT SCHOOL?

“I don’t need to explain much . You can look around you and see”.

A

NO I don’t
I don’t think I need to explain much. You can look
around you and see that children who are forced to
study arts at school DON’T REALLY ENJOY it, which
I think is so ridiculous and wasteful.
For me personally, I hated the art subjects when I
was in school. But after I left school, I don’t hate arts
anymore.

57
Q

HOW CAN CHILDREN BENEFIT FROM LEARNING ART?

A

Well, I think the answer really depends on the child
himself.
If the child doesn’t like art, which can be the case, in
the first place, there will not be any benefits at all
If the child does like art, which I think is more
common, he or she can see the world in a more
artistic eyes and enjoy his or her life more.

58
Q

HOW HAS ART CHANGED IN THE LAST FEW DECADES IN YOUR COUNTRY?

But I would say that ~ đưa ra ý kiến một cách more cautious

A

I don’t know
Really, I don’t know because I’m not an art person.
But I would say that arts have become more accessible and comprehensible. You now can see arts in almost everywhere. From the art banners to the design of a cell phone, which I think is very cool.
Look at your cell phone you are using right now.

That’s art and that’s how far it has evolved.

59
Q
  • THE I BELIEVE -

#TheKillerScripts

A

Society
What social problems are there in your country?
What can be done to alleviate poverty?
Are there many charities in your country?
What is the difference between major crime and minor crime?
Do you think all criminals should go to prison?
Why do so many people move to live in cities?
What problems does over population cause?

60
Q

WHAT SOCIAL PROBLEMS ARE THERE IN YOUR COUNTRY?

Social Problems: Many -> Examples -> what’s most important

A

There are so many.

I believe some of them might be Child labor,
Abortion, or traffic jam.
For me personally, abortion is the most important
social problem that needs to be addressed as quickly
as possible. I’m pro-life and so I don’t support
abortion.

61
Q

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY?

A

I believe there are numerous ways

I believe that if we encourage people to become
entrepreneurs, we could create more jobs and this is
the best way to generate income for poor people.
But I also believe that education is key12 and so the
government should fix the educational system first
so that students have the right skills to earn more
income. These ways, I believe will definitely help alleviate poverty.

62
Q

Câu trả lời của mình có 2 ý chính:

  1. Khuyến khích làm chủ doanh nghiệp => more jobs => less poverty
  2. Better education => more chance of getting employed => less poverty
A

Nếu bạn thấy cái gì đó rất quan trọng (miễn bàn), không nên dùng Important. Hãy dùng Key.
Education is key.
Family is key.
Anything very important is key.

63
Q

ARE THERE MANY CHARITIES IN YOUR COUNTRY?

A

Of course there are.

But I have to say, like many other things, there are
good and bad charities. I believe that putting my
money in good charities is a more desirable thing
to do so you should know beforehand which one is
the one you prefer rather than just give money
without any knowledge of how it’s gonna be spent.

64
Q

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAJOR CRIME AND MINOR CRIME?

Is a more desirable thing to do ~ Is better
Know beforehand ~ biết từ trước.
without any knowledge of ~ mà không hề biết rằng
A

Well it really depends on the country you live in
But in general, I don’t know much about crime but I believe a major crime is on a much higher level that has a big impact on others’ lives (such as murder)

WHEREAS a minor crime does not have much of an impact on the society (such as shoplifting)
But still, I believe any crime is bad.

Depends => But generally major is more serious => Minor is less serious => Any crime is bad.

65
Q

DO YOU THINK ALL CRIMINALS SHOULD GO TO PRISON?

A

Absolutely not
Of course I believe some criminals should go to prison as a deterrence.
The problem here is the word ALL in your question. I believe Some criminals need to be sentenced to death (such as murderers). I don’t think murderers should go to prison, they should be killed. If they don’t want to be killed in the first place, just don’t
commit the crime. Don’t kill.

66
Q

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE MOVE TO LIVE IN CITIES?

A

There are so many reasons
First, better employment . If you want to have a job, I believe it’s always better to move to a city where you have many more opportunities.

Second, standard of living. For me personally, I enjoy the convenience of living in a big city because I can buy anything I want easily. Put me to a countryside area and I will not be happy. Who doesn’t want to live more conveniently?

67
Q

WHAT PROBLEMS DOES OVER POPULATION CAUSE?

If we don’t take actions early enough, that will lead to a whole host of other issues -> Bạn nên note cả câu này lại

A

Well, I believe overpopulation might cause hunger in the long run

If we are not innovative enough to come up with ways to feed all the population, we might be going through a food supply shortage in the future, which might

increase food prices. I know this might sound like a long-term issue but if we don’t take actions early enough, that will lead to a whole host of other issues. So I believe we should also pay attention to the food issues, which might often be ignored.

68
Q
  • THE FOR ME PERSONALLY -

#TheKillerScripts

A

Travel

Why do some people prefer to travel abroad rather than in their own country?
Do you think traveling to another country can change the way people think?
Do you think it is good for children to experience life in a foreign country?
How have holidays changed over the past few decades?
Do you think it is safer to travel now than in the past?

69
Q

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE PREFER TO TRAVEL ABROAD RATHER THAN IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY?

Tôi không biết => nhưng tôi tin rằng không chỉ có một lý do => Đối với tôi nó là bla bla.
Ngay sau khi bạn sử dụng For me personally, bạn đã cho giám khảo thấy bạn liên quan trong câu hỏi của bạ n. (you’ve proved to the examiners that you’re relevant in the context, which is excellent)

A

I have no idea.
But what I believe though is that not all people have
one single reason of travelling abroad.
You know.
Some might want to pursue an education
Some might just want to learn more about the world
Others might want to change their environment
For me personally, I want to travel to anywhere that
is better than my own country in terms of the overall
quality of living.

70
Q

DO YOU THINK TRAVELING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY CAN CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK?

Logic ở đây:
YES => Example: My friends => Example: Me.

A

Yes, of course I do
I strongly believe that the outside environment can influence anyone’s mind. (khẳng định lại)
I don’t know about you but I’ve seen so many of my friends have changed their personalities and ways of
life after they came back from other countries. I believe that as you live within another culture, you will
slowly adapt to the new environment.

For me personally, I think it also applies to me because I was so different 5 years ago.

71
Q

DO YOU THINK IT IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN TO EXPERIENCE LIFE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY?RIENCE LIFE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY?

Logic ở đây:
It depends => If parents don’t teach => Bad. If parents teach => Good.

A

Well I think it really depends on the parents
If some parents are too busy to teach the children
the mother-tongue and the culture from the home
country, that I think is not good.
But if parents also teach their children what it’s like
in their home country, that I believe would be
amazing because the children will see the world from a broader point of view.

72
Q

HOW HAVE HOLIDAYS CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES?

Logic ở đây cũng rất đơn giản:
Vietnam -> Celebrate Christmas
Western -> Recognize Lunar new Year
Why? -> Globalization
Personally? -> It’s good
A

In many different ways.
Notably in Vietnam, I notice many people celebrate
Christmas even though they’re not Christian. In
many other Western countries, I’ve seen people also
recognize Lunar New Year. So thanks to
globalization, holidays have been well-recognized
all over the world.
For me personally, I think this is absolutely a good
trend because wherever you go, chances are you
will still feel like home.

Q

DO YOU THINK IT IS SAFER TO TRAVEL NOW THAN IN THE PAST?

Logic ở đây:
Air travel -> safest
Road -> Also very safe
For me -> It was bad in the past.

A

Of course I do
Believe it or not, air travel is the safest way to travel.
Even safer than cars. Also, over time, roads have been improved a lot and are still improving so it’s
now safer than ever to travel.
For me personally, I believe that it was horrible to travel in the past because just look at the roads,
they were so underdeveloped and dangerous.

  • HACK YOUR PRONUNCIATION - (It’s not what you see in the letter form)
A
  1. Your có 2 cách phát âm. Nếu bạn muốn nhấn mạnh. Bạn phát âm là YOUR một cách rõ ràng như bạn vẫn biết. Nhưng n ếu đó không phải phần bạn muốn người ta chú ý đến, hãy phát âm thành “yer”
    Ex: I like yer car.
    I like YOUR car, not his (muốn nhấn mạnh)
    Your và You’re phát âm giống hệ t nhau. Hãy cực kỳ hạn chế nói “YOU ARE” mà hãy nói “YOUR”.

Q

NUMBER 1: BẠN NÓI QUÁ NHANH
Hãy nhớ kể cả ngườ i bản x ứ cũng nói tương đối chậ m và nhẹ nhàng chứ không gấp gáp. 100% những bài phát âm mình nhận được đều mắc lỗi nói nhanh và nói gấp hơn bình thường. Nh ư mình đã nói ở trên, lỗ i này khó sửa. Vì bạn luôn nghĩ rằng bạn đã nói chậm lại rồi. Nhưng thực tế, bạn vẫn chưa đủ chậm.

A

Khi bạn nói nhanh bạn s ẽ khó ki ểm soát được nhị p độ nói. Âm của bạn sẽ không được phát âm một cách chỉnh chu và nhất là người Việt học tiếng Anh sẽ có xu hướng phát âm CHOP CHOP nghĩ a là giọng của bạn không thành mạch kiểu UMMMMMMMMM mà là lại DOT DOT
DOT DOT DOT.
Khi nói nhanh và nói gấp bạn cũng làm cho bản thân bạn mất tự tin.
Vì não và tim bạ n cũ ng hoạt động không đúng nhịp độ bình thường. Ngoài ra mỗi lần bạn phát âm sai hay vấp hay sai ngữ pháp bạn càng
cuống hơn. What a total disaster.
Giải pháp r ất đơ n giản nhưng KO HỀ DỄ. Và mình đoán với bạn 100 người đọc cuốn sách này may ra chỉ 10 ngườ i th ật sự nói chậ m lại. Chỉ cần nói chậm lại thôi, bạn giải quyết được rất rất nhiều vấn đề.

81
Q

NUMBER 2: PHÁT ÂM DOT DOT DOT thay vì UMMMMMM

Có thể bạn đượ c dạ y ph ải phát âm thật rõ các âm nhưng có lẽ nhiều ng ười quên dạy bạn các âm như M, N, S và nguyên âm cần phát âm rõ hơn bạn nghĩ.

A
Fine. => Fine-nnnnnnnnnn
Amazing => ummmm-A-zing
Me => me-eeeee
insane => Innn-SANE-nnnnn
đó mới là cách phát âm đúng.
A lot of => uh-LAAAAW-da. Phải dài.
Probably => PRAAAAAB-bub-ly. Phải dài.
Because => Be-CUUUUZ-zzzzzz
Love => LLLLLove
82
Q

NUMBER 3: KHÔNG TRA PHÁT ÂM KHI TRA TỪ
Khi b ạn tra phát âm bạn sẽ biết được cách phát âm và tr ọng âm. Nên nghe phát âm tr ực ti ếp bằng âm thanh thay vì mặt chữ vì âm thanh sẽ vào đầ u bạn dễ hơn và miệng của bạn sẽ có xu hướng tự nhiên là bắt chước theo.

A

Nhiều bạn gửi bài về cho mình nhưng phát âm sai mà không biế t vì bạn ĐOÁN cách phát âm, rồi tạo thành thói quen rồi thói quen đó trở thành thói quen khó bỏ. Nếu thói quen t ốt mà khó bỏ thì quá tuyệ t vời nhưng thói quen xấu mà khó bỏ thì hơi vất vả. Cho nên việc làm đầu tiên là nế u b ạn ko 100% sure, hãy tra phát âm và trọng âm trướ c. Có rất nhiều từ phát âm không theo một quy luật nào cả vì vậy bạn càng
tra nhiều bao nhiêu càng tốt bấy nhiêu.

83
Q

NUMBER 4: KHÔNG MỞ TO MIỆNG

A

Phát âm tiếng Anh c ần dùng nhiều movement trên cơ miệng hơn tiếng Việt vì vậy bạn hãy vận động các cơ trên miệng của bạn nhiều hơn một chút nhé.

84
Q

NUMBER 5: GỒNG

A

Một số bạn hiểu nhầm r ằng phả i phát âm g ồng lên mới gi ống với tiếng Anh. Càng mạnh càng tốt. Sự thật, tiếng Anh phát âm rất mượt và nhẹ . Như ng phát âm hết. Nếu bạn c ảm thấy b ạn đang gồng mình quá, khả năng là b ạ n nên calm down. Nói chậm l ại, sử dụng cơ miệng nhiều hơn. Hãy để ý kỹ cách phát âm của người bản xứ.
Cách luyện tập Pronunciation: Bạn cần luyện tập cả Input và Output (nhiều bạn chỉ chọn một trong 2, which is not good).
