🏠 Topic 1: Home / Accommodation
Câu hỏi thường gặp + Model Answers
Q1: Where do you live?
Well, I currently live in a small apartment in the city centre. It’s quite convenient because it’s close to my workplace, and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. I’ve been living there for about two years now.
📝 Phân tích:
- Filler: “Well” — tạo thời gian suy nghĩ tự nhiên
- Từ vựng: “convenient”, “nearby” — không lặp lại “close”
- Mở rộng: lý do (convenient) + chi tiết (shops, restaurants) + thời gian (two years)
Q2: Do you like your home?
Yes, I do. Actually, I’m quite happy with my current place. The main reason is that it gets a lot of natural light, which makes it feel really warm and cozy. The only downside is that it’s a bit small, but overall I think it’s a comfortable place to live.
📝 Phân tích:
- Filler: “Actually” — tự nhiên, không gượng
- Cấu trúc: “The main reason is that…” — complex sentence
- Balance: nói cả ưu điểm + nhược điểm → tự nhiên hơn
Q3: What’s your favourite room?
I’d say my favourite room is the living room. It’s where I spend most of my free time — I usually watch movies or read books there in the evening. It has a big window with a nice view, so it’s really relaxing.
📝 Phân tích:
- Opening: “I’d say…” — cách nói tự nhiên thay vì “My favourite room is…”
- Chi tiết: hoạt động cụ thể (watch movies, read books) + đặc điểm (big window, nice view)
Q4: Would you like to move to a different place?
To be honest, I’m thinking about moving to a bigger apartment in the future. I’d love to have an extra room that I could use as a study. But for now, I’m happy where I am because the location is really convenient.
📝 Phân tích:
- Filler: “To be honest” — tạo sự chân thành
- Grammar: “I’d love to have” (conditional), “that I could use” (relative clause)
- Cấu trúc: tương lai + hiện tại → câu trả lời cân bằng
