1
Topic one, computers and tablets.
2
Let's talk about computers and tablets.
3
If you had to choose between a computer and a tablet, which one would you prefer?
4
Well, if I had to choose between a computer and a tablet,
5
I'd probably go for a computer because it allows me to get work done much faster and occasionally play games.
6
A tablet is a great portable device, but it's only suitable for simple tasks on the go.
7
What do you usually use a computer or a tablet for?
8
For heavy tasks like coding and gaming, I prefer my computer as it is a powerful productivity tool,
9
whereas for relaxing and watching YouTube or Netflix, I prefer a tablet since it's much lighter to hold in bed.
10
In what situations do you find a tablet more useful than a computer?
11
As I mentioned, for heavy tasks like coding and gaming, I rely on my computer.
12
However, when I'm just winding down, relaxing, and watching YouTube or Netflix, a tablet is definitely more useful since it's much lighter to hold in bed.
13
Topic 2.
14
Fruit and vegetables.
15
Now let's move on to fruit and vegetables.
16
How often do you eat fruit and vegetables?
17
I make a point of eating fruit and vegetables every day because they are not only healthy but also quite delicious.
18
Actually, bananas and leafy greens are a staple in my diet.
19
Where do you usually buy fruit and vegetables?
20
I usually get my fresh produce from the supermarket because the quality is guaranteed.
21
Plus, it saves me the hassle of bargaining, which is something I always have to do at the local market.
22
What kinds of fruit and vegetables do you dislike?
23
I am not really a fan of overly sour fruits and bitter veggies because they just don't suit my taste.
24
For instance, sour mangoes or bitter melon, which leaves a very strong bitter aftertaste, are definitely my least favourites.
25
Were there any kinds of fruit and vegetables you disliked as a child?
26
When I was younger, I used to avoid durian at all costs due to its pungent smell.
27
But now, surprisingly, this fruit has really grown on me and I find it incredibly delicious and aromatic.
28
Topic 3.
29
Travelling.
30
Let's talk about travelling.
31
Do you enjoy travelling?
32
Absolutely.
33
What I enjoy most about travelling is that it allows me to get away from it all and take in the scenery.
34
For instance, I'm currently planning a trip to Thailand this year to broaden my horizons.
35
Do you prefer traveling alone or with a group?
36
Given the choice, I'd rather travel with a group than go solo.
37
I prefer having some travel buddies, mainly because sharing experiences makes the trip much more enjoyable,
38
just like how my close friends and I take an annual trip to Bond.
39
Do you like to look out the window when you are traveling?
40
Definitely.
41
I always try to get a window seat whenever I travel by plane or train.
42
The main reason is that it's absolutely amazing to look outside and take in the scenery along the way.
43
Do you remember a long journey you had with your family?
44
Yes, I do.
45
I can still remember taking a trip to Ho Chi Minh City with my family
46
because it was one of the first times that I had travelled so far from home.
47
It remains a beautiful childhood memory for me.
48
Topic 4.
49
Cars.
50
Let's talk about cars.
51
Do you think car colours are important?
52
Yes, absolutely.
53
When it comes to cars, I tend to prefer neutral colours like black or white because personal taste matters a lot to me.
54
I would never choose a pink car just to stand out from the crowd.
55
What types of cars do you like?
56
I would choose a family car over a sports car or an SUV, mainly because I already have a family of my own.
57
It is much more spacious and practical for our daily needs.
58
Do you prefer to be a driver or a passenger?
59
Given the choice, I'd rather get behind the wheel because it is far more exciting than just riding shotgun.
60
There is this indescribable feeling of being in total control of a powerful machine.
61
What do you usually do when there is a traffic jam?
62
Whenever I am stuck in traffic, rather than giving in to road rage, I prefer to listen to some music and stay calm.
63
Since the cars can only crawl along, getting frustrated would just make the situation worse.
64
Topic 5.
65
Websites.
66
Now let's talk about websites.
67
What kinds of websites do you often visit?
68
Most of the websites I visit tend to be educational and news platforms because they provide the practical value I need.
69
I usually spend a short amount of time every day scrolling
70
through them just to keep myself in the loop with the latest updates.
71
What is your favourite website?
72
If I had to pick one, it would probably be Quantremang .com because it offers highly engaging content about tech and education.
73
It's basically a one -stop shop for me, especially since it features a dedicated and incredibly useful section for AI applications.
74
Are there any changes to the websites you often visit?
75
Yes, absolutely.
76
I've noticed that their interfaces and content are updated much more frequently compared with the past.
77
Probably due to the rapid rise of AI, everything looks much more eye -catching and is significantly easier to navigate nowadays.
78
What kinds of websites are popular in your country?
79
In Vietnam, entertainment and news platforms tend to be highly favoured.
80
One reason these go -to sites are so popular is
81
that they perfectly cater to the daily needs of the vast majority of people here.
82
Topic 6.
83
Social Media.
84
Let's move on to social media.
85
Have you ever posted anything on social media?
86
Yes, absolutely.
87
I'm not really the type to post every day, but I occasionally share story updates whenever I reach certain achievements or have something fun to celebrate.
88
In fact, the last thing I posted was a beautiful photo of my son to share something memorable with my friends.
89
When did you start using social media?
90
To be honest, I can't remember exactly, but I first started using social platforms back in high school.
91
That was when my dad bought me my first smartphone, so I mainly used it to keep up with friends and message my classmates.
92
Do you think you spend too much time on social media?
93
Not at all.
94
I actually use it in moderation.
95
I try to limit my screen time by managing my schedule strictly, so I spend at most one hour a day on these apps.
96
After that, I just put my phone away to focus on my work and my son.
97
Do your friends use social media?
98
Pretty much everyone I know uses it daily because of its sheer convenience.
99
It's incredibly useful for calling or sharing information.
100
In fact, it's the best way for us to keep up with each other
101
and stay connected despite being busy with our own families.
102
What do people often do on social media?
103
Generally, people mainly use these platforms to read social news or check on friends, but it's also common to just look for entertainment.
104
For example, like many others, I love scrolling through a curated feed to watch short videos about my hobbies, like badminton.
105
Topic 7.
106
Clothing.
107
Let's talk about clothing.
108
What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
109
I tend to go for sportswear with a relaxed fit because it's incredibly comfortable but still looks neat.
110
Brands like Nike or Leaning are totally my kind of thing for everyday wear.
111
Do you prefer to wear comfortable and casual clothes or smart clothes?
112
If I had to choose, I'd definitely go for casual clothes.
113
As a programmer who sits in front of a screen all day,
114
I always prioritise comfort so I can easily move around and feel at ease while coding.
115
Do you like wearing t -shirts?
116
Absolutely.
117
T -shirts are pretty much wardrobe staples in my closet.
118
I have dozens of them.
119
What I like about them is that they go with everything, making it super easy to mix and match when I head out.
120
Do you spend a lot of time choosing clothes?
121
Not at all.
122
I don't usually spend long picking outfits unless I have to dress up for a special occasion.
123
On a typical day, I just throw on something understated and get to work.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
