1, What are popular hobbies in your country?
Almost all people I get acquainted with are avid sports fans, so I guess people in
Vietnam watch and play sports as their hobbies. Take my father as an example, he
spends his free time watching all matches played by the national football team without
missing a single match.
Other common hobbies would be music or surfing the internet because both help
people to unwind after a busy day. Additionally, there are many-others, such as
reading and, playing board games but they are not as widely enjoyed as the first three I
mentioned.
get acquainted with: quen biết
avid sports fan: người hâm mộ thể thao cuồng nhiệt
To blow of steam: To relax
Hectic pace of life:
Avid skincare lover:
On a daily basis
2, What are your hobbies?
Well, to be honest, my hobbies are not fixed because they change together with my
mood. Going window-shopping and hanging out with friends are my current hobbies
which help me to unwind after a stressful day.
go window-shopping: mua sắm qua cửa sổ
hang out with: ra ngoài chơi
unwind after a stressful day: thư giãn sau một ngày căng thẳng
3, What sort of hobbies would you like to try in the future?
When I get older, I wish I could spend the majority of my leisure time collecting
stamps. My older sister used to take up this hobby when she was a child but she has
now grown out of it. But I am quite keen on stamps so I hope to try collecting them
one day.
spend the majority of time: dành phần lớn thời gian
grow out of: hết thích cái gì
keen on: đam mê
4, How has COVID-19 changed people’s hobbies?
Sadly speaking, because of COVID-19 social distancing, people are encouraged not to
go outside to take part in outdoor activities. Consequently, their hobbies are mostly
playing computer games, surfing the web and making friends on social media sites.
social distancing: giãn cách xã hội
outdoor activities: hoạt động ngoài trời
social media site: mạng xã hội
Câu hỏi 3: Why is it important for people to have free time activities?
Well, first of all, it is a very good way for people to let off steam and relieve stress by taking it
easy after a hard working week. Free time activities refresh them and make them more
energetic. Another one is that taking part in group games provides them valuable chances to
socialize and improve their relationships. In addition to this, if people play sports they will
become healthier and more resistant to diseases (kháng bệnh).
Câu hỏi 4: What free-time activities would you like to try in the future?
To be honest, I would say that I would really like to try surfing in the future. I guess the reason
why is that it is an exciting, adventurous sport. In addition to this, I would really love to go
skydiving and master maneuvering my body on air.
