SCRIPT FOR SPEAKING

A. HEALTHA
A:HI, B. Long time no see. How do you do?
B: how do you do. I caught the flu and had a splitting headache. Fortunately,I have got over
these health problems recently
C: Thank god! You are lucky to overcome these health diseases, but you should have some
methods to avoid health illness
D: yes yes I know. But do you have any clue about how do you keep yourself healthy

Câu hỏi: How do you keep yourself healthy?

Honestly, to maintain good health, I focus on 2 things including a proper diet and doing

exercises on a regular basis. To be more specific, I avoid eating junk food and increase

the consumption of vegetables, and I hit the gym 3 days a week.

Câu hỏi: Do you think you have a balanced diet?

Well, to be honest, to some extent, I would say yes. To keep myself in shape, I try not to eat

junk foods at all costs and consume an adequate amount of macronutrients. The reason behind

this is that the balance between protein, fat, and carbohydrates allows my body to function

properly, while junk foods just lead to cardiovascular diseases.

Câu hỏi: Do you have any unhealthy habits?

Well, I bet everyone is guilty of excessively indulging themselves to some extent and I’m not

an exception. Being a gamer and a night owl prevents me from going to bed early. So

yea, pulling an all nighter seems normal to me.

Câu hỏi: What do you think is more important, eating healthy or doing exercise?
Both eating healthy and exercising are crucial for overall well-being. They complement each
other and contribute to a balanced and healthy lifestyle. However, if I had to prioritize one
over the other, I'd lean toward the importance of eating healthy. Nutrition provides the
foundation for good health, affecting everything from energy levels to disease prevention.
While exercise is essential for physical fitness, without proper nutrition, the body may not
have the necessary nutrients to support optimal performance and recovery. So, while both are
important, maintaining a healthy diet sets the stage for overall health and wellness.

Câu hỏi. What are some health risks associated with your lifestyle and environment?
Sedentary Lifestyle: Spending long hours sitting or being inactive can increase the risk of
obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and musculoskeletal issues.
 Unhealthy Diet: Consuming high amounts of processed foods, sugary beverages, and
saturated fats can lead to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.
Stress: Chronic stress can have detrimental effects on physical and mental health, including
weakened immune function, increased risk of depression and anxiety, and cardiovascular
problems.
Environmental Pollution: Exposure to air and water pollution, as well as toxins in food and
everyday products, can contribute to respiratory problems, cancer, reproductive issues, and
other health problems.

Câu hỏi: What can you do to improve your health?

Improving health involves adopting various habits and practices that promote physical,
mental, and emotional well-being. I think there are two main strategies individuals can
implement to enhance our health:

Maintain a Balanced Diet: Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit intake of processed foods, sugary snacks,
and excessive amounts of salt and saturated fats.
Get Sufficient Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support overall health
and well-being. Establish a regular sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and
optimize your sleep environment for comfort and relaxation.

B.TECHNOLOGYA

A: hi, long time no see. Nice to meet you here

B: Helloo, me too. Oh, A, Congratulation!!! I heard that you won the technology innovation

award in the school competition. That is impressive

A:Oh, thank you. I have tried my best, but I don’t think I have reached my full potential. You

know, there are many modern technological devices right now.

B: Yes, I agree, ….

Câu hỏi:What modern technological devices are the most common in the world?
As of my last update in January 2022, common technological devices vary depending on the
country and its level of technological development. . However, some devices tend to be prevalent
globally due to their widespread utility and accessibility. These include:

1. Smartphones: These versatile devices are ubiquitous, serving as communication tools, cameras,
entertainment hubs, and much more.
2. Personal Computers (PCs) and Laptops: Used for work, education, entertainment, and
communication, PCs and laptops remain essential tools for many people.
A: Yep, With the rapid development and popularity of technology today, I bet you own a
computer and a phone. But, I wonder that What technology do you often use, computers or
cell phones?

Well, my laptop is, hands down, an indispensable item to me ‘cause it really facilitates my
work and study. I used it for so many purposes such as word processing, taking online courses,
and posting photos on social media.

Câu hỏi: What do you think are the trends in technology today compared to when you
were young?

Well, the first trend that comes to mind is the use of social media, which is gaining in popularity
in many countries. It’s a wonderful tool for people to make friends with people across the globe
with like-minded interests and share their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Another thing that
has become sort of all the rage now is to work from home which has a host of advantages for
workers like less commute stress and better work-life balance.

Is there any technology you don’t like?

A: Actually, I do not dislike any technology as I think technological breakthroughs all make
life much easier and more convenient. For example, extraordinary inventions such as the
washing machine, dishwasher, and vacuum cleaner significantly reduce the burden of doing
household chores for many people.

B: I don't have personal preferences or feelings, so I don't inherently like or dislike any
technology. However, I think that some technologies raise ethical, privacy, or safety concerns,
and their development and use should be approached thoughtfully and responsibly. Do you know
about weaponized Technology ?

A: I have heard about it.

B: Yes, Weaponized Technology: Technologies designed for military purposes, including

autonomous weapons and cyber warfare tools, raise ethical questions about their potential for
indiscriminate harm and destabilization.
A: oh, that’s bad…….

C.CULTUREA

A: Hi, how are you. I heard tou just came back from the USA. How was it?

B: it was amazing. I met a lot of friendly people, experienced many new things, and I was really
happy. But I went through culture shock?
A: oh, that was not good….. I have heard about culture shock, but I have never experienced it
and I don’t know the specific definition of culture shock. Do you have a specific definition of
culture shock?

B: Oh, yea, I know it.Before I travelled to the Usa, I had learnt about some basic definition, such
as culture shock. So, Culture shock refers to feelings of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that
people may experience when moving to a new country or experiencing a new culture or
surroundings. This cultural adjustment is normal and is the result of being in an unfamiliar
environment.

A: Oh, so, how can we overcome culture shock?

B: well, from my experience, Time and habit help deal with culture shock, but individuals can
minimize the impact and speed the recovery from culture shock.

 Be open-minded and learn about the new country or culture to understand the reasons
for cultural differences.
 Don't indulge in thoughts of home, constantly comparing it to the new surroundings.
 Write a journal of your experience, including the positive aspects of the new culture.
 Don't seal yourself off—be active and socialize with the locals.
 Be honest, in a judicious way, about feeling disoriented and confused. Ask for advice
and help.
 Talk about and share your cultural background—communication runs both ways.

B: ahaah, 30/4-1/5 Liberation Day ( Ngày giải phóng) hoặc Unification Day have passed. Do

you think this festival will still be as important in the future?

Yes, I believe that despite how our lives are changing, Liberation Day will continue to be

an essential traditional festival in my country because it is more like a time for reunions, to

reflect on what has happened and prepare for new beginnings, and most importantly, an

occasion to enjoy ourselves, recharge our batteries and cherish the most valuable things in life.

What are some forms of traditional dancing in your country?

One of the unique traditional dances in my country is Southern Lion Dance, which means “mua

lan”. It originated from China. Lion Dance is usually performed in the Mid–Autumn Festival and

Lunar New Year. As an art, Southern Lion Dance has its principles and rules. A Lion dance

usually lasts from 20 to 25 minutes. A lion dance cannot lack the Earth God which means “Ong

Dia”. A Southern Lion Dance performance is very animated with instruments such as drums,
firecrackers. It is really interesting. It is performed to welcome good things and wipe out all

bad things.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of cultural diversity?

I think we can evaluate on an individual and collective or organizational level. Regarding each

individual, being exposed to a culturally diverse setting would broaden one’s perspective and

knowledge of the world, he or she would be more open-minded and understanding towards

different viewpoints or mindsets. On the other hand, personal identity could be adversely

affected by diversity, since one might find it hard to adopt a way of life when there’s too many.

In terms of community or society, diversity makes this world more interesting, more

multifaceted, people have more things to discover and learn. However, differences in mindset

could easily lead to disagreement, which could escalate into tension. Throughout the history of

the world, there have been many conflicts stemming from cultural, racial or ethnic differences.

What social problems are there in your country?

Well, as far as I’m concerned, there’s a couple of pressing problems my country is grappling

with. First and foremost, the on-going Covid-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented

unemployment rate, pushing many people onto skid row, and by extension, a surge in crime

rates. I mean, more people are likely to commit crimes, such as robberies, to survive.

Unfortunately, Irrespective of various forms of social distancing and lockdowns, Vietnam is

still having such a hard time dealing with these problems.

D.ENVIROMENTA

A: hi, nice to meet you. How are you

B: not good at all, I have a lung disease, I'm really worried

A:oh, dear, why do you have a lung disease? Do you smoke?

B: no, the doctor said air pollution was related to the disease

A: Is there much pollution where you live?

B: Yes, of course, you know, I am currently living in Ha Noi- one of the most developed and

bustling cities in Vietnam. Many people have gravitated to this city to live and build

manufacturing factories. It’s noticeable that exhaust fumes from moving vehicles and CO2

emissions from factories are the leading causes of poor air quality. So, I have suffered from a

lung disease

A: That is one of the way people damaged the environment

B: In which way do people damage our planet?

Human beings have triggered a number of environmental problems during the last several

decades. By dumping waste indiscriminately, they cause water pollution that occurs in many

places. In addition to that, the constructions of numerous factories and the intensity of

vehicles contaminate air, which leads to air pollution. Also, humans damage our planet through

their small habits. For example, people nowadays usually use disposable items like disposable

plastic containers or spoons instead of recycled ones, which adversely affects the environment.

C: in terms of env What do you think is the main danger the world faces in terms of the

environment?

Well I suppose climate change would be the most severe environmental problem that humanity is

facing. We’re experiencing long summer heatwaves that lead to prolonged droughts every

summer. In addition to that, unstable climate causes rising sea levels, and therefore flash

floods occur more frequently. These consequences inflict enormous damage to people and

property.

D. SCIENCEA

A: hi, how are u going

B: pretty good. I have a scientific research in class. That is so good

A: U love science, don’t you?

B: Absolutely! Science has always been a subject that has piqued my curiosity. I find it

fascinating how science helps us understand the natural world and solve problems. I enjoy

keeping up-to-date with new scientific developments and discoveries.

B: and how about you?

A: To be frank with you, I’m not exactly a big fan of science ‘cause it’s always been a closed

book to me. Though I know it helps me to acquire an in-depth understanding of the world, I

always find it perplexing.

B: When did you start to learn about science?

It was way back in the early part of my school years. I got to study rudimentary maths, physics,
and biology. I was pretty good at them back then, unlike now, when a math problem is so
difficult for me to solve it.

A: When did you start to learn about science?

Hmm, I'm not exactly sure when I first started learning about science, but I think it was probably
when I was in primary school. I remember doing little experiments with magnets and water, and
being really amazed by how they worked. As I got older, I started getting into biology,
chemistry, and physics, and I started to appreciate how complex and beautiful the natural world
is.

A; do you have a favorite science subject?

Well, I have a keen interest in chemistry. Back when I was in secondary school, I
was infatuated with this subject ’cause I took enormous enjoyment in watching all these c
What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?

If my memory serves me right, there have been a few occasions that I’ve had fun doing scientific
experiments. I remember there was one time when I almost burned the class down because of my
clumsiness during a chemical experiment. The whole class was engulfed in smoke and
everybody actually burst into laughter.

hemical reactions and balancing chemical equations.

F. HISTORYA

Câu hỏi: Do you like to learn about history?

Yes. I’m into reading about the past events of Vietnam and other countries. The historical
period of the Nguyen dynasty, which was the last imperial family of my country is always of
interest to me.

Câu hỏi: What historical event do you find interesting?

Well, I think this question is really putting me on the spot because my recollections about
historical events are pretty hazy. Having said that I think the first event that spring to mind is
probably Independence Day, which is the biggest milestone in Vietnamese history. Because it
marks the day when Vietnam has become a sovereign state. I mean Vietnam is totally free
from French colonization.

Câu hỏi: Do you think history is important?

Definitely. History is the backbone of any society. Because it helps instil in every citizen a
sense of patriotism. And we can acquire a deeper understanding formidable feats of our
forefathers. When Vietnam is at war with many powerful nations, we can know that against all
the odds, the Vietnam army triumphed.

Is there any difference between teaching history through books and movies?

I believe that each option has its own merits and demerits. For beginners, watching movies is a

good choice. Vivid images and audios from movies can help inspire people to get to know more

about history, but they often blend fantasy and fact, thus becoming less trustworthy sources of

information. As for books, when one wishes to have a deeper insight, they are the better option.

But, as I mentioned before, learning history through books can be less inspirational.

Câu hỏi: Why are there many children who do not like to learn history?

Well, I can think of several reasons for this fact at the moment. The first one is that most children

are not mature enough to take a keen interest in wars that happened in the past. I mean, at that

age, what is of interest to them is animated movies and video games. The second reason is that

they are not conscious of the significance of history. And it’s the parents who shoulder the

responsibility to raise their awareness of this issue.

G.BUSSINESSA
2. What kinds of qualities do people need to run their own business?

(Chúng ta cần có những phẩm chất nào để điều hành công việc kinh doanh của riêng mình?)

Well, I suppose there’s a number of attributes a person needs to possess in order to become a
successful entrepreneur. First and foremost, no good businessman becomes thwarted by a loss
or defeat so people need to be determined and see failure as another opportunity for success
when starting their own business. On top of that, they must possess a high level of confidence to
be able to take risks and responsibility when necessary.
3. What do you think are the key factors that contribute to the success of a business?

(Bạn có nghĩ rằng một số người không thích nhau ở nơi làm việc? Tại sao?)

Well, while many assume that success is largely based on luck, I am convinced that there’s a
handful of other factors that make a thriving business. Having a plan at the outset is a
prerequisite for success. This will help a business not to go astray but rather focus on its main
goal. Another equally important factor is perseverance, which could help it stay
afloat in perilous times, such as the on-going covid-19 pandemic.

4. What are important factors in making a company successful?

(Những yếu tố quan trọng làm nên thành công của một công ty là gì?)

As far as I’m concerned, there are a variety of contributors to the prosperity of a business.
Having a good plan is a prerequisite if a company wants to take off. What I’m saying here is a
company needs to focus on developing clarity about where the business is going in order to
communicate it to staff, investors and the wider world. Another factor that is of great importance
is sales, which injects revenue into a business. Ideas are great, but without sales to accompany
them, they will likely fail.

5. What kinds of qualities should a successful businessman have?

(Một doanh nhân thành đạt cần có những phẩm chất gì?)

I suppose there are certain attributes that effective entrepreneurs should possess. One that
should never be overlooked is leadership skills, including the ability to communicate well,
handle and delegate responsibilities and motivate their workers. In addition, what makes a great
leader is also the ability to forecast what changes or obstacles that his business may run into in
order to adapt easily with new trends and keep the company afloat.
