TRANSPORT (Giao thông)
Part 1
What
are the main means of transport in Vietnam? (Những phương tiện giao thông
chủ yếu ở Việt Nam là gì?)
Sample answer |
Vocabulary |
|
(Answer) There are quite a few means of transport in
Vietnam, but motorbikes aretaking the
lead. (Reason) People prefer to travel by motorbike because it is
more economical and the most important thing is that when it comes to traffic congestion,
it takes ages for car to move on the road but it is much easier for a
motorbike to wend its way forward and
escape the bad traffic. |

Describe
a time you travelled by public transport. (Mô tả một thời gian khi bạn di
chuyển bằng phương tiện công cộng)
Sample answer |

(Answer) Well, today I would like to
tell you about an MRT journey in
Singapore that I took several years ago. Actually, I was a junior in Hanoi
University when I took my summer vacation there. After a month of planning, I
decided to embark on the journey alone. (Reason) I already knew that car rent in Singapore would
be prohibitively expensive to a student like me, so I chose MRT to travel
around the city, which was both fast and economical. (Example) I boarded a train at Lavender
station which headed towards Marina Bays station. Luckily, I managed to find
a seat before it was filled up.
The trains here were notoriously jam-packed in rush hours. To my surprise, it was so silent on
the train, everyone tried to keep their voice low so that they wouldn’t
bother others, and I have to say that was a strange thing when compared to
buses in some countries. Moreover, the train went unbelievably fast, so it
took me just about 15 minutes to arrive at my destination. I felt that such a
long distance was made shorter thanks to this means of transport. That was my
first time I went on a public transport and I hope that there will be more
modern underground systems that are built in our country in the near future. |

How
do you think people will travel in the future? (Bạn nghĩ trong tương lai,
con người sẽ di chuyển bằng gì?)
Sample answer |
Vocabulary |
|
(Answer) Well I think, electric mini-bus will be the
prevalent means of transport in the future. (Reason) [1]One
reason could be that it still carries the same number of passengers but being
small and agile to get its way out of a traffic jam. (Example) In addition,carpooling may be a good idea
(Reason) as people can not only save a great amount of money spent on fuel
for their private car but they also help protect the environment. Many people
travel in the same car means there will be less emission and less traffic jam
and this may be a dominant way of transporting in the future. |

Describe
a recent vacation that you went on. (Mô tả kỳ nghỉ gần đây của bạn)
Sample answer |
Vocabulary |
|
(Answer) Well, I would like to talk
about a trip that I took with my family to Da Nang last July. (Reason) We chose Da Nang because it
took only 1,5 hours to fly from Hanoi to Da Nang International Airport and
more importantly, it is considered one of the most worth-living
cities in Vietnam with specatacular scenery and delicous local cuisine. (Example) During 4 days and 3 nights
staying there, we visited famous tourist
attractionsin the city such as Dragon Bridge, Administration Tower,
Linh Ung Pagoda, Ba Na Hills and all of them were breath-taking.Among
them, the most impressive place that we visited was the Golden Bridge, which
was opened for tourists last June. It is an aerial
walkway which looks like a bridge that is lifted by two giant
hands. In addition, Da Nang is a coastal city so it is such a
great feeling when we can walk along the beach after having dinner. (Example) In terms of food, I have to
say that it was superb.
We tried street food such as Nem lui, Banh xeo or avocado ice cream… which
are local specialties and it would be amiss not to try
them. In short, the trip was a real blast and
it was a great opportunity for me and my family to share great memories
together. I hope that one day I can come back to Da Nang to be immersed again
in the wonderful atmosphere here. |
