1. On what occasions do people have to wait for a long time?

For instance, waiting in line at government offices for paperwork or licenses, queuing at airports for security checks, or waiting for medical appointments at hospitals are common situations where people experience prolonged waiting periods.
- Queuing: việc xếp hàng
2. What do people do while waiting?
While waiting, people engage in different activities to kill time and boredom. Some might read books or magazines, listen to music, play games on their phones, or chat with others around them. In public places like bus stops or train stations, people often check their phones for messages or browse social media to stay occupied.
- engage in: tham gia
- kill time and boredom: giết thời gian
3. Are most people patient while waiting?
It’s fair to say that not everyone is patient while waiting. While some individuals are used to waiting and remain calm, others might become restless or frustrated, especially if the wait is longer than expected. Factors such as personal temperament, the perceived importance of what they are waiting for, and the environment can influence people’s patience levels.
- Restless: bồn chồn không yên
- Frustrated: cáu gắt bực bội
- Temperament: bản tính
4. Do you like to wait for a long time? Why?
Personally, I don’t particularly enjoy waiting for a long time. Waiting can be tedious and sometimes stressful, especially if it disrupts my plans or schedule. However, I understand that waiting is sometimes necessary and try to make the best of it by finding ways to stay productive or entertained.
- Tedious: nhàm chán
- Disrupt: chen ngang, gây gián đoạn
5. Why do most children have difficulties waiting for a long time?
Most children find it challenging to wait for a long time due to their limited attention spans and developing impulse control. Waiting can feel like an eternity to them, and they may struggle to understand the concept of delayed gratification. Additionally, children often lack the maturity to regulate their emotions, leading to impatience and tantrums when they have to wait.
- attention spans: độ tập trung
- Impulse: sự thôi thúc (Rối loạn kiểm soát xung động (tên tiếng Anh là Impulse Control Disorders, viết tắt là ICDs)
- Gratification: sự thỏa mãn hài lòng
- Maturity: sự trưởng thành
- Tantrums: nổi đóa, giận dữ
6. Do people queue consciously while waiting for the subway train?
In general, people tend to queue consciously while waiting for the subway train. Queueing is a common practice in many cultures and is seen as a fair way to ensure order and efficiency. However, factors such as crowded platforms or time constraints can sometimes lead to less orderly behavior, with people pushing or cutting in line. Overall, most people understand the importance of queuing and strive to follow the rules while waiting for public transportation.
- Constraints: hạn chế
- Orderly: có trật tự, ngăn nắp, hiền hòa
- cutting in line: chen hàng
