1. What is the most important thing to you when choosing a job?
I believe the most important thing
when choosing a job is personal interest. If we enjoy the work we do, we feel happy and want to try our
best. We also work better and don’t feel bored easily even during stressful times. Of course, other factors
like salary, working environment are important too. If we’re not interested in the work itself, it’s difficult to
do for a long time. For example, someone who enjoys helping others may want to be a teacher, a nurse.
Even if the money is not much, they still feel proud of their job. In my opinion, choosing a job we’re
passionate about can help us grow and success career. When we’re interested in our work, we want to learn
more, get better, and reach our goals.
2. Which offbeat job would you like to have? If I could choose an offbeat job, I would like to be a
professional sleeper. This may sound strange, but it’s a real job. Professional sleepers get paid to sleep in
different situations. For example, they may test hotel beds, try new sleep products like mattresses or pillows,
or take part in sleep at hospitals or centers. I enjoy sleeping, and I’m also curious about how sleep affects
our health. As a professional sleeper, I can make money and help scientists understand sleep problems.
Sometimes, you have to sleep in uncomfortable places or follow special rules. Overall, this offbeat job is
perfect for people who enjoy rest and want to do something different from a normal office job.
3. Skills you think are the most important for ss to find job? From my point of view, the two most
important skills for students to find a job are communication skills and problem-solving skills. First,
students need to speak clearly so others can understand them. In job interviews, good communication helps
students give better chance and make a good impression. Second, problem-solving skills are also necessary.
In most jobs, we face difficulties or unexpected situations. If students know how to think carefully and find
good solutions, they will become more valuable to employers. Together, two skills help students become
more confident, professional. Communication and problem-solving skills gives students a big advantage
when looking for jobs and helps them in their careers.
4. Are you good at managing time? Yes, I think I am quite good at managing time I often manage my time
each day by making a list the night before. I prioritize tasks from the most important to the least important.
Besides, I try to stay organized and remember what I need to do. During the day, I try to avoid distractions
like my phone or social media, so I can finish my work on time. If something unexpected happens, I adjust
my plan and stay flexible because it’s important for school, work, and everyday life. This keeps me
motivated and helps me work better. By following this plan, I can manage my time more effectively and
reduce stress. I believe good time management helps me achieve my goals and feel more confident in
everything.
5. What is your biggest challenge as a student? One of the biggest challenges I face as a student is
working effectively with others. Sometimes group projects or team assignments can be difficult because
everyone has different ideas and ways of working. It can be hard to communicate clearly and make sure
everyone agrees on the tasks. Also, sometimes people don’t do their part, which makes the work harder for
others. Learning how to solve conflicts and cooperate with different personalities is not easy for me. To
overcome this, I try to listen carefully to others and share my ideas in a polite way. I also learn to be patient
and open-minded. I know that good teamwork skills will help me a lot in both school and my future career.
6. How do you feel before each test? Before each test, I usually feel a mix of nervousness and a bit
excitement. I get a little worried because I want to do well and sometimes I’m afraid I might forget what I
studied. This nervous feeling makes my heart beat faster and sometimes I feel a bit tense. At the same time, I
feel excited because a test is a chance to show what I have learned. It motivates me to prepare better and
focus more. To calm myself down, I take deep breaths and remind myself that I have studied hard. I also try
to stay positive and think that even if I make mistakes, it’s okay because I can learn from them. After all,
feeling nervous before a test is normal, and it helps me stay alert and ready to do my best.
7. Prefer living at home with your fam or far from home? I prefer living at home with my family,
especially while I am still studying. Living at home gives me a lot of support and comfort. My family helps
me with daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, so I can focus on my studies. Also, they give me emotional
support when I feel stressed, which helps me be safe and stay motivated. Living at home is better because I
can save money and prepare for my future. But in the future, when I start working, I would like to try living
on my own to become responsible. I also understand the benefits of living far from home. It helps me
become independent and learn how to take care of myself. Living alone or with friends teaches important
life skills like managing money and solving problems.
8. Who do you ask for advice when you have difficulties? When I have difficulties, I usually ask my close
friend for advice. Her name is Vi, and we’ve been friends since primary school. We are on the same
wavelength, so she really understands how I feel, even when I don’t say much. That makes it easier for me
to open up and share my problems with her. She always listens carefully and gives me thoughtful advice.
Sometimes, just talking to her helps me feel better, even if the problem isn’t solved yet. I feel lucky to have
someone like that in my life - someone who truly gets me and supports me when things get tough. Her
support helps me stay positive during hard times. I believe that having someone who truly understands you
is one of the best things in life.
9. Prefer studying a large school or a small one? in a small school. In a small school, it’s easier to get to
know your classmates and teachers. The classes are usually smaller, so the teachers can give more attention
to each student. I feel more comfortable asking questions or sharing my ideas in a smaller group. In addition,
the atmosphere in a small one feels warmer and more personal, like being part of a close community. It is
easier to build friendships and feel supported. Of course, large schools may have more facilities and
activities, but I think the close connection in a small school helps me learn better and feel more confident.
For me, studying in a small school creates a better learning experience both academically and emotionally.
10. Do you prefer shopping online or shopping in stores? I prefer shopping online because it’s very
convenient and saves me a lot of time. I can browse many products from different stores without leaving my
home. It’s easy to compare prices and read reviews from other buyers before making a decision. I don’t have
to spend time traveling or waiting in long lines. Plus, there are often good discounts and special deals online.
However, sometimes I do shopping in stores because I can see and touch the products before buying. This
helps me be sure about the quality, especially for clothes or shoes. Overall, I prefer online shopping for most
things because it’s fast and easy, but I still go to stores occasionally when I want to try something in person.
11. Do you often bargain when you go shopping? Yes, I often bargain when I go shopping, especially at
markets or small shops. I think bargaining is important because it helps me get a better price and save
money. Many sellers expect customers to bargain, so it feels normal to try. Also, bargaining can be a fun
experience. It allows me to practice communication skills and learn how to negotiate politely. Sometimes, I
can build a friendly relationship with the seller, which makes shopping more enjoyable. However, I don’t
bargain in big stores or supermarkets because the prices there are fixed. But when I shop at street markets or
local shops, bargaining is a good way to get a fair deal. Bargaining helps me feel more confident and smart
when shopping.
12. Do you like buying second-hand things? Yes, I like buying second-hand things for several reasons.
First, it helps me save money because used items are usually much cheaper than new ones. This is especially
helpful when I want to buy something expensive but don’t have a big budget. Second, buying second-hand
is good for the environment. It reduces waste and helps recycle things instead of throwing them away. I
think it’s a simple way to protect the planet. Sometimes, second-hand stores have unique or vintage items
that you can’t find in regular shops, which makes shopping more interesting. Of course, I always check the
condition carefully to make sure the item is still useful. Overall, buying second-hand is a smart and practical
choice for me.
13. What you often do with the things you don’t use anymore? When I have things I don’t use anymore,
I usually try to recycle or sell them. For example, I often sell old clothes, books, or electronic devices like
my old phone or headphones. Selling these things helps me make some money and clears up space in my
room. If the items are broken or too old to sell, I try to recycle them properly. For instance, I recycle paper,
plastic bottles, and old batteries to help protect the environment. I also reuse glass jars or bottles by turning
them into flower vases or pencil holders.I think recycling or selling is a smart way to give these things a
second life instead of just throwing them away. Doing this not only helps me stay organized but also
contributes to reducing waste and saving resources.
14. What do you often do to save money? To save money, I plan my spending carefully about what I
spend on. I usually make a budget to plan my expenses and avoid buying things I don’t really need. For
example, instead of eating out, I prepare my own meals and drinks at home. I also like to look for discounts
or sales before I buy something. Shopping during sales helps me save a lot, especially on clothes or
electronics. Sometimes, I choose second-hand items instead of new ones, which is cheaper and also better
for the environment. I carefully fl all my expenses by using on a smartphone app to make sure I don’t
overspend. Saving money is important to me because it helps me be more independent and prepare for the
future.
15. What do you spend most of your money on? Most of my money is spent on clothes. I like to keep my
wardrobe updated with the latest styles, so I often buy new clothes, shoes, or bags. For me, dressing well
helps me feel confident and comfortable. Sometimes, I wait for sales or discounts to buy clothes, so I can
save some money while still getting what I want. Although I spend a lot on clothes, I prefer to buy high-
quality items that last longer because it’s more economical and better for the environment. Besides that, I
also spend money on food and drinks, especially when I hang out with friends. I enjoy trying different
snacks or having coffee, which takes up a good part of my budget. Overall, I try to balance my spending so I
can enjoy the things I like.
Topic 1: Talk about something you would like to buy.
One thing I would really like to buy is a motorbike. In my opinion, having my own motorbike would make
traveling much easier and more convenient. Right now, I usually rely on buses or ask my family for a ride,
which is not always comfortable or on time. It’s also more flexible than public transportation, and I wouldn’t
have to wait or worry about missing a bus. With a motorbike, I could go wherever I want, whenever I want.
It would save me a lot of time, especially when I need to go to school or hang out with friends. It would also
help me go to work more easily in the future, especially if I get a part-time job or internship, because I could
save time commuting and earn some money to support myself. I’m planning to buy a small, fuel-efficient
motorbike that’s easy to drive and doesn’t cost too much. It just something simple and reliable. I’ve also
started saving money, and I hope I can buy it sometime next year. Owning a motorbike would not only give
me more freedom, but also help me become more independent and responsible. I believe having a motorbike
would make a big difference in my daily life and help me grow in many ways.
Topic 2: Talk about a skill you want to learn.
One important skill I really want to learn is communication. I believe that being a good communicator can
help in my life, such as school, work, and relationships. especially in teaching, which the job I want to do in
the future. Right now, I sometimes find it difficult to express my ideas clearly or speak confidently in front
of others. For example, I sometimes feel nervous about what to say when giving a presentation in class or
speaking to someone I’m not familiar with. I think communicating better would help me become more
confident and make a good impression on others. It would also help me work more effectively in a team,
solve problems, and build stronger relationships with people around me. To improve this skill, I try to speak
more English in class and join group discussions. I also watch videos or listen to podcasts to learn how good
speakers talk and express themselves. In the future, I’d like to take a communication course or join a public
speaking club, I hope to become a better communicator. Overall, I believe communication is a important life
skill that can open many doors for me - not only in school but also in my future career, especially as a
teacher.
Topic 3: Talk about a time you were late
One time I was late for school was last week. It was quite an unforgettable moment. I usually wake up early
and get ready on time, but that day was different. I accidentally overslept because I didn’t hear my alarm.
When I woke up, it was already 6h45 a.m., and my class started at 7 a.m. I quickly got dressed and rushed
out of the house. On the way to school, I also faced some traffic jams, which made me even later. I felt
worried and stressed because I didn’t want to miss the morning lessons. When I arrived, the teacher was
already starting the class, so I quietly entered the classroom and I felt really embarrassed and nervous, then
apologized to her. This experience taught me how important it is to manage my time better and set my alarm
carefully. Being late made me feel embarrassed and anxious, so now I always try to prepare everything the
night before and go to bed early. I’ve also started setting two alarms just in case I miss the first one. It was a
big lesson for me, and I really hope I won’t be late for school again in the future. Being on time not only
shows respect but also helps me start the day with more confidence and less stress.
Topic 4: Talk about your favorite student activity.
One of my favorite student activity is joining the English club at school. I’ve been a member for over a year,
and I really enjoy it. Every week, we meet after school to practice English in fun and creative ways, like
playing games, doing group discussions, or even performing short plays. It’s a great way to improve my
speaking and listening skills outside the classroom. What I love most is that the club gives me a chance to
speak English in a relaxed and friendly environment. Everyone is supportive, so I feel more confident and
less afraid of making mistakes. We also get to learn about different cultures, which makes the experience
more interesting and meaningful. Besides learning, I’ve also made many new friends through the club. We
often work in teams, so it helps improve my teamwork and communication skills. Sometimes, we even
organize small events like English festivals or contests, which are really fun and exciting. Joining the
English club has not only helped me become better at English, but it has also made my school life more
enjoyable. I always look forward to our weekly meetings, and I think it’s one of the best student activities
I’ve ever taken part in.
Topic 5: Talk about a time when you were so busy
One time when I was extremely busy was during my final exam week last semester. I had several subjects to
study for, and all the exams were scheduled very close to each other. I had to spend almost the whole day
reviewing notes, doing practice tests, and making sure I remembered everything. On top of that, I also had a
group project that was due the same week. It was really hard to manage my time, so I made a schedule and
tried to follow it strictly. I often stayed up late and woke up early to get everything done. I felt very tired, but
I try to be focused. I didn’t have time to relax, hang out with friends, or even go on my phone much. In the
end, all the hard work paid off I passed all my exams and got good grades for the project too. It was really
worth all the hard work I had put in. It was a stressful time, but I learned how important it is to stay
organized and not give up when things get busy. This experience taught me that with determination and good
planning, I can overcome the most challenging times.
Topic 6: Talk about a job that you would like to do in the future. One job I would like to do in the future
is to become an English teacher. I really enjoy learning English, and I want to share that love with others. I
think being a teacher is a meaningful job because I’ve always been passionate about helping others learn
and grow. My parents also want me to be a teacher and has inspired me a lot. Another reason is that I really
love children. I would enjoy creating a positive, engaging learning environment where students feel
motivated and supported. English is also an important global language. If students can speak English well,
they will have more opportunities in the future, like studying abroad or getting a good job. I hope to learn
how to teach English properly in university and practice with students in real classrooms. I know it takes
time and effort, but I’m willing to do my best to make it come true. I believe that being an English teacher
will not only give me the chance to help others, but also help me develop personally. Teaching gives the
opportunity to make a real impact on the future and helping them achieve their potential. It would be a truly
rewarding and meaningful career for me.
Topic 7: Talk about something you bought which is very important to you
One of the most important things I’ve ever bought is my smartphone. I bought it last year with money I had
saved for a long time. It’s important to me because I use it every day for many different purposes. First of
all, it helps me keep in touch with my family and friends. I can call, send messages, or video chat with them
anytime. My phone also helps me stay updated with current events. In addition, it has become an essential
learning tool for me. I often watch educational videos, read articles in English, and even use apps to look up
new words. Besides, my phone also helps me stay organized. I use it to set reminders, make to-do lists, and
keep track of my homework. It’s also my main source of entertainment, allowing me to relax with music,
games, and movies whenever I have free time. I take good care of my phone because it’s not easy to buy a
new one. It’s not just a device, it plays an essential role in my everyday life. Without it, my daily routine
would be much more difficult and less enjoyable.
