Part 1 — Shopping and Money (Mua sắm và tiền bạc)
Chủ đề Shopping and Money là topic thực tế mà hầu hết thí sinh đều có trải nghiệm để chia sẻ.
Câu hỏi 1: Do you prefer shopping online or in stores?
Trả lời mẫu: "I'd say I prefer shopping online these days. It's much more convenient — I can browse hundreds of products from my phone, compare prices easily, and have everything delivered to my door. Apps like Shopee and Lazada often have great discounts too. However, for clothes and shoes, I still prefer going to physical stores because I need to try things on to make sure they fit properly."
Câu hỏi 2: Are you good at saving money?
Trả lời mẫu: "I'd like to think so, but it's not always easy. I try to save at least 20 percent of my salary every month by transferring it to a separate savings account right after payday. I also avoid impulse buying by waiting 24 hours before purchasing anything that costs more than 500,000 dong. This simple rule has helped me save a significant amount over the years."
Câu hỏi 3: What was the last thing you bought that made you happy?
Trả lời mẫu: "The last purchase that really made me happy was a pair of running shoes. I'd been using old, worn-out sneakers for months, and the new shoes made such a difference. They're lightweight, comfortable, and have excellent cushioning. Since I bought them, I've been running more frequently and even improved my personal best time. It was definitely money well spent."
