Moreover, the cuisine here is so rich with many delicious dishes that the tourists
are addicted and queue long to taste it when coming to Hoi.
PART C: ASK AND ANSWER
1. Why do tourists like to buy handicrafts as souvenirs ?
Tourists are likely to buy handicrafts as souvenirs because those items are
made by local artisans who have lived at that travel destination for a long
time. Due to that, the handicrafts they made are expressed in the features of
that destination, reminding the tourists about the specific region more than
the items produced by a factory and sold everywhere.
2.Would you like to live in the countryside or city? Why?
I would like to live in the city rather than in the countryside because the science
and technology in the city have advanced rapidly in recent years, making it
develop far more than the countryside. Due to that, living in the city has many
benefits in many fields. But the aspect that I care about most is education. The
educational environment in the city is better, more modern, and more developed,
helping students have many opportunities to participate in big exams. Because of
that, I prefer to live in the city instead of in the countryside.
3.Can you tell me something you used to do in the past?
When I was 5, I used to love drawing and drew a lot of pictures. My parents found
out about it and were also very supportive. They signed me up for a few drawing
classes and took me to many art exhibitions. However, I was too busy with my
studies since I entered middle school, so I didn't touch pens and colors much as
in the past. Gradually, my interest in painting decreased and I rarely drew except
when necessary
4. It is necessary to have life skills for teenagers, which skills do you have?
Among the critical skills that I should learn and have, as a part of self-care, is to
take care of my health. To take care of my health, I have gained some knowledge
about personal health and taking proper care of myself through proper diet,
exercise, and getting enough sleep. I also learned basic first aid skills like cleaning
a wound, using bandages, and other first aid in case of medical emergencies.
5. Have you ever been stressed? What is your problem?
I used to be worried and stressed about studying. In 6th grade, I was a little
behind my friends in subjects like math and physics. So when it was time for the
midterm or final exam of that subject, I was very nervous and had to review a lot
for it when I didn't understand anything about it, which made me feel very
stressed. However, my teacher and friends have explained the parts I didn't
understand and helped me with the exercises, so now my results have improved.
6. Which wonders did you visit ?
7. Can you suggest some ways to protect and preserve the man-made wonders of
Viet Nam ?
Recently, the wonders in Vietnam have been reported to be damaged a lot, so I
have searched for some possible solutions to this. First, the government should
limit the number of tourists visiting them every day. Besides, we also should
raise money to restore and preserve them. We can hold a campaign to ask for
donations from individuals and organizations. In addition, it is also a good idea to
put valuable things in high-security places. If many defensive measures are taken,
our man-made wonders will be protected and preserved.
