Part 1 — Media and News (Truyền thông và tin tức)
Chủ đề Media and News ngày càng xuất hiện nhiều trong đề thi VSTEP. Hãy chuẩn bị quan điểm về cách bạn tiếp nhận tin tức.
Câu hỏi 1: How do you usually get your news?
Trả lời mẫu: "I mainly get my news from online sources. Every morning, I scroll through VnExpress and Tuoi Tre on my phone during breakfast. I also follow several news pages on Facebook and Zalo. I rarely watch TV news anymore because online articles are more convenient — I can read them anytime and choose the topics I'm interested in. For important events, I sometimes listen to podcasts that provide in-depth analysis."
Câu hỏi 2: Do you think social media is a reliable source of news?
Trả lời mẫu: "Not entirely. While social media helps news spread quickly, it also makes it easier for misinformation to go viral. I've seen many cases where false stories were shared thousands of times before being corrected. That's why I always try to verify information by checking official news sources before sharing anything. I think media literacy is a crucial skill that everyone needs to develop."
Câu hỏi 3: What type of news interests you the most?
Trả lời mẫu: "I'm most interested in news about education and technology. Since I work in the public sector, I also follow policy updates and civil service news closely. I find economic news helpful for making personal financial decisions. I tend to avoid sensational crime news because I find it quite disturbing. I believe it's important to be well-informed, but you also need to be selective about what you consume."
