Câu trả lời mẫu (Sample Answer)
1. Do you collect things?
Sample 1: No, now I don’t collect anything, because I am not very into any particular things. But I used to be obsessed with dolls given to me by my siblings and my parents. It made me happy by merely looking at them.
- Be into something: Thích cái gì đó
- Be obsessed with: Say mê
Sample 2: Well, I don’t think I have such an obsession with any particular things that urge me to have them in large quantities at all. But I have to admit I’m a terrible hoarder of junk. I always feel reluctant throwing things away, worrying that I would need them some day. As a result, boxes of random stuff just keep cluttering up my room.
- Obsession (n) say mê ám ảnh
- Urge (v) thôi thúc
- Hoarder (n) người tích trữ
- Clutter up (v) lộn xộn
2. Are there any things you keep from childhood?
Sample 1: Yes, there are. I still keep some pictures taken in my primary school. Whenever I see those pictures, it just takes me back to those lovely days spent in the school.
- Take somebody back to: Đưa ai trở về
Sample 2: Well, not any more. I used to keep birthday cards or gifts from my old friends as mementoes but then I just get tired of having to declutter every year because you know they kept piling up so quickly so I decided to get rid of them all.
- Memento (n) kỉ vật
3. Would you keep old things for a long time? Why?
Sample 1: Yes, you could say that. I keep old things for the memories they hold; they remind me of the time that was perhaps important to me.
- Remind somebody of: Nhắc nhở/gợi nhớ ai về điều gì
Sample 2: If those things have some sort of valuable meaning to me then yes. For example, I still keep a 5-year-old shirt in the back of my closet. It was a birthday gift from my younger sister so it is of great sentimental value to me and I feel very much attached to it.
- Sentimental (adj) tình cảm
4. Where do you usually keep things you need?
Sample 1: Well, I have a secret box where all my favorite things have been kept since I was a little girl. It is on the bookshelf and locked by a heart-shaped key outside to keep it from being seen by others.
- Heart-shaped: Hình trái tim
Sample 2: To be honest, I’m not a very organized person so I just find a random space for all my essentials. People wouldn’t get why I’m OK with my room being such a mess, but for me, I know where my stuff exactly is and I can reach for them within seconds. It’s one of my special talents.
- Essential (n) vật quan trọng
