1. Chủ đề Giao tiếp – Cách yêu thích của bạn để giao tiếp
1.1. How do you typically stay in contact with your family members?
I give them a call every day. Nowadays, almost everyone owns a cellphone, so keeping in touch is not a big concern. It’s easier when you can talk on the phone while completing other tasks, such as doing household chores or going out.
- Give sb a call (v): Gọi điện thoại cho ai đó
- Keep in touch (v): Giữ liên lạc
- Big concern (n): Vấn đề lớn
1.2. What is your preferred method of communication? Why?
My favorite way to communicate is texting messages. The reason I now adore text messages more than phone conversations is that, unlike phone calls, the person you’re contacting doesn’t feel obligated to answer immediately. They might take a few hours to react if they’re in the middle of anything, but the chat will go on regardless of the delay.
- Obligated (a): bắt buộc phải
- In the middle of: đang làm dở
- Regardless of: Bất kể
1.3. In your opinion, what is the best way to keep in touch with friends?
How distant you are from your buddies will determine this. If you live close together, arrange a face-to-face meeting. When communicating across a long distance, body language and tone of voice are absent, which can lead to misunderstandings and animosity building up.
- Distant (adj): xa
- Buddy (n): bạn bè
- Determine (v): quyết định
- Face-to-face meeting (n): Cuộc gặp mặt trực tiếp
- Misunderstandings (n): Sự hiểu nhầm

2. Example: Correspondence via Emails and Handwriting
2.1. Do you ever write letters by hand? What are your reasons?
Oh sure, it’s pretty interesting, and this is one of the rare occasions when I’d use a fountain pen to write something. A SMS or email might occasionally come across as somewhat impersonal. Handwritten notes for thank yous, welcomes, farewells, etc. are quite sweet.
- Fountain pen (n): Bút máy
- Come across (v): xuất hiện
- Impersonal (adj): vô cảm
- Farewell (n): sự kiện chia tay
2.2. In your job or studies, do you frequently write things?
Yes, a large portion of my work is writing emails. Email is the primary form of communication for the company I work for because we have offices throughout the world.
- A large portion of (n): Một phần lớn
- Primary (adj): Chính
2.3. How often do you send emails?
I generally write five to ten emails for business each day, and once or twice a week, I send emails to friends or family.
- Generally (adv): thông thường
- For business: cho công việc
2.4. Do you believe computers could eventually replace handwriting?
Because everything is done electronically now, I assert that the process of changing from handwriting to computers is progressing slowly. However, it’s crucial that kids learn to write, including their names, numbers, and cursive.
- Electronically (adv): Điện tử
- Assert (v): cho rằng
- Crucial (adj): quan trọng
- Cursive (n): Chữ viết ẩu

4. Example: Communication in the Future
4.1. Do people maintain contact differently now compared to fifty years ago?
Of course, nowadays, people utilize both the Internet and cell phones. Even though I was a teenager, no one in my close group of friends had a mobile phone. These days, having one is considered essential, and not having one would make you feel excluded. However, as I’ve already stated, I believe that talking in person is preferable to using technology for communication. There are several benefits to communicating in “traditional” ways.
- Utilize (v): tận dụng
- Excluded (adj): Xa cách, cô lập
4.2. How do you predict people will communicate in the future?

There will be technologies that allow people to communicate their ideas to another person. It may even be possible for individuals to connect with and interact with the other person virtually.
- Predict (v): dự đoán
- Likely (adv): có khả năng
- Mentally (adv): Thuộc về tinh thần
