And I think it’s a competitive sport, it can be very enjoyable to watch and play.

Of course. I think it’s essential for everybody to take up a sport, because, you know, as I mentioned before. Playing sports brings great benefits to your health.

So I think you’d better take good care of it.

That would be absolutely amazing and I’ll be on top of the world.

- sports channels: các kênh thể thao
6. Do you like to watch live sports games?
Sample 1: Yes, I think all sports fans would prefer watching live matches or games, if I can’t watch the games when they are live broadcasted i usually keep an update of the scores online. But I’ve never been to a stadium or an arena to spectate a match, which I think would be pulsating so I’d love to try.
- live broadcasted: truyền hình trực tiếp
- an update of the scores: cập nhật điểm số
- spectate: xem
- pulsating: rung động
Sample 2: Absolutely! Watching live games is so much more exciting because you feel like you’re part of the action. The atmosphere, the energy, and the suspense are all so vivid. For example, I still remember how incredible it felt watching Vietnam win in the ASEAN Football League recently, it was such a proud and thrilling moment.
- the suspense: sự hồi hộp, phấn khích
7. Who do you like to watch sports games with?
Sample 1: My brother mostly. He’s also a soccer aficionado so watching live matches is kinda like our time to hang together and to build a good rapport.
- soccer aficionado: người đam mê bóng đá
Sample 2: Most of the time, I prefer watching sports with my friends because, like I mentioned earlier, it’s so much more exciting than watching alone. We can cheer together, discuss the game, and even share funny or emotional moments during the match. It’s not just about the game itself, it’s about the whole experience of bonding and enjoying the atmosphere with people who share the same passion.
8. What kinds of games do you expect to watch in the future?
Sample 1: I think my main interests would still lie in soccer and basketball. I also watched a lot of tennis and badminton in the past but my work has gotten much busier so it’s impossible to allocate time to watch all types of sports content.
- interests would still lie: sở thích chính
- allocate time: phân bổ thời gian
Sample 2: I’m a die-hard fan of football, so I’m looking forward to watching some of the biggest matches, like the FIFA World Cup. Seeing the world’s best players showcase their strategies and sportsmanship would be absolutely thrilling, way more fascinating than regular matches.

9. What sports do you like?

- team sports: đội thể thao
- dual sports: thể thao kép
Sample 2: I’m not at all a keen sportsman but I do play sports to keep fit and stay lean. Usually, I work out twice a week and go swimming probably once or twice a week as well. I think playing sports is a good way to ease work-related stress and boost my immune system, so I’ve been maintaining this lifestyle for years.

- to ease work-related stress: giảm căng thẳng trong công việc

10. Where did you learn how to do it?
Sample 1: Well in my country, soccer is the most ubiquitous sport and almost every boy has gone for a kickabout once or twice in their life without having to take any training course. It’s the same thing for my case. I just casually joined some matches with my peers since I was a kid and learned the skills heuristically.
- a kickabout: một cú đá
- heuristically: theo kinh nghiệm
Sample 2: Honestly, I started learning the basic techniques with my coach a few years ago and from that onwards, YouTube has been my main source of information to hone my sports skills further.
- to hone: mài dũa
11. Did you do some sports when you were young?
Sample 1: Yes I have mentioned above that I started playing soccer when I was little, in primary school to be exact. We often had our pop-up games after school, with a makeshift plastic ball or sometimes we even used a can to replace a ball, and we used our backpacks as the goalposts.
- pop-up games: trò chơi bật lên
- makeshift plastic ball: bóng nhựa tạm thời
- goalposts: cột khung thành
Sample 2: As far as I can remember, I used to practice traditional martial arts and play badminton when I was a kid, which lasted for a few years until I was super busy with my studies in highschool and had to end my sports practice.
- As far as I can remember: như tôi nhớ
12. Do you think students need more exercise?
Sample 1: Well I don’t have the precise figures but I think the number of children being overweight and leading a sedentary lifestyle has increased. Therefore, I do think that students should work out more often
- sedentary lifestyle: lối sống ít vận động
Sample 2: Yeah, definitely, especially those in Vietnam, who are commonly required to study so intensively that they unsurprisingly have to sacrifice their time for physical activities. I think most Vietnamese parents are still unaware of the important benefits that playing sports bring about for their children’s holistic development.
- holistic development: phát triển toàn diện
13. Do you know any people who are good at sports?
I don’t think I have any acquaintances who are really good at sports / keen sportspeople. If sports stars count then I think I could name a few.
14. Do you think it is important for people to exercise?
Obviously, doing sports not only can boost people’s physical health but also lifts up their mood, which is extremely vital for their well-being in the long run.
- to lift up mood: cải thiện tâm trạng
15. Should schools encourage young students to take more physical exercise?
There is no doubt. I think nowadays most schools realize the importance of physical exercise, I mean, the role it plays in the development of an individual. Doing exercise helps them maintain their health which will be a foundation for their work and study in the future. Moreover, students who exercise regularly could also get in good shape when they grow up, which is beneficial in many ways as good-looking appearance is a plus point in modern society.
- good-looking appearance: ngoại hình ưa nhìn
16. Have you ever watched a sports game in a stadium?
No, I haven’t, and part of the reason is that I don’t enjoy the hassle of queuing, going through security checks, and all the procedures, it’s just tiring and time-consuming. That said, I’d definitely love to experience the electric atmosphere of a live stadium one day because it must be amazing to be surrounded by passionate fans while watching the game.
- the hassle of: sự phiền hà, phiền phức
17. Do you prefer to watch sports games alone or with a group of friends?
I definitely prefer watching with a group of friends. It’s so much more exciting and engaging because we can discuss the game, debate the referee’s decisions, and share the highs and lows together. That kind of energy just isn’t the same when you’re watching alone, right?
- share the highs and lows together: chia sẻ niềm vui nỗi buồn
18. Do you like watching sports programs on TV?
For sure. Obviously, we don’t always have the time or money to go to the stadium, right? So watching sports on TV is probably the most convenient and common way for people to enjoy games. Personally, whenever I have free time, I love grabbing some snacks, wrapping myself in a cozy blanket, and just enjoying the games on TV
