Describe your favourite way to communicate with someone.

You should mention

• What it is
• How you use it to communicate with others
• For how long you have been using this method
• And explain why you prefer to use this way to communicate with others.

Although today thanks to the development of technology, we have countless different ways of communicating, when it comes to one way that I like to keep in touch with others, using a smartphone will be the first thing that springs into my mind.

• Countless (adj): vô số
• To keep in touch (v): giữ liên lạc

Owning a cell phone these days is like being able to connect to almost the entire world around you. When someone calls me, I can see the information of the caller and answer them by simply tapping on the phone’s tactic screen. And vice versa, whenever I want to call someone, I just need to dial their number or choose from the phone directory. Furthermore, we can send and receive texts on our phones – which also serves as a good way of communicating with others and is easy like a piece of cake.

• A cell phone (n) = a mobile phone
• Tactic screen (n): màn hình cảm ứng
• Vice versa: ngược lại
• A piece of cake (idiom): vô cùng đơn giản, dễ như ăn bánh

The reason why I prefer using a mobile phone is mostly that it is easily accessible, has the ability to connect to the Internet and also includes other necessary applications, as well as offers effective communication such as texting and even making a video call. Not to mention that a mobile phone is portable since it can easily fit in bags or pockets. Therefore it is always my most convenient method for communication on both personal and official matters.

• Accessible (adj): có thể truy cập, sử dụng
• Effective (adj): hiệu quả
• Not to mention: ấy là còn chưa nói đến 
• Portable (adj): có thể xách tay, mang đi được
• Personal matter (n): việc tư
• Official matter (n): việc công

1. What makes social networks so popular nowadays? 

To my mind, the reasons why the popularity of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Reddit has rapidly increased over the past few years are those sites provide us with an opportunity to meet new people around the world, share our interests and hobbies and some professional social networks even help people in establishing their brand online. Those online communities have truly contributed to our spiritual and material lives.

• To my mind: theo ý tôi

• To contribute (v): đóng góp, cống hiến

2. Which is preferable – face-to-face communication or texting/emailing?

It would heavily depend on the situation. If it’s a friend, a relative or a work-related matter that requires immediate discussion, then a face-to-face chat or video call would be preferred. But when we are getting to know someone or have to face a minor issue at work, then messaging would be better since this format gives a person time to think of an appropriate response.

• Immediate (adj): ngay lập tức
• Minor (adj): nhỏ, không đáng kể
• To message (v) = to text
• Format (n): dạng, định dạng
