Câu trả lời mẫu (Sample Answer)
1. Are you happy to be the age you are now?
I would not say that I am content with who I am at my age right now. Actually, I have just embarked on a journey in which I am rediscovering everything about me – my career, my family, even myself. I don’t think that is necessarily a bad thing! I think it has given me fresh perspectives on who I am as an individual. So even though I am not quite satisfied with who I am and my age right now, I think it is okay.
- be content with = to be pleased/satisfied with sth: hài lòng với điều gì
- embark on a journey: bắt đầu một hành trình
2. When you were a child, did you think a lot about your future?
Well certainly! Ever since I was a toddler, thoughts about the future have always been on top of my mind. As a child, I always had questions about who I would become, what career path I would take, what car I would drive. I think it was a beautiful thing! Curiosity was the one thing that has always been driving me forward, that has always been giving me momentum to be proactive and go on in life.
- toddler: đứa trẻ
- on top of my mind: thường trực trong đầu
- driving me forward: đưa tôi về phía trước
- momentum: đà (tăng tốc)
3. Do you think you have changed as you got older?
Yes. I must say the transformation that I have seen within myself for the past couple of years has been nothing but drastic! For the longest time, I had always thought of myself as an extrovert. You know, I always put on this facade, this persona through which I would showcase myself as a very outspoken and sociable individual. But now, I have actually realized and come to terms with the fact that I am an introvert. And I think that is a beautiful thing! I think the experience has definitely been eye-opening and so revealing. I am learning to accept myself as a quieter, calmer and more put-together individual.
- facade: bề ngoài
- persona: hình ảnh tính cách
- come to terms with: học cách chấp nhận rằng
- eye-opening: mở mang tầm mắt
4. What will be different about your life in the future?
That is such a hard question to answer because the nature of life itself is so unpredictable. Regardless, I think that i have become a more thoughtful and considerate individual, which means that I will put more thought into matters before deciding which courses of action to follow. I think that will leave a huge impact on my life and will help me avoid risks – that’s what I can say.
- thoughtful: biết suy nghĩ
- considerate: thận trọng
- courses of action: phương hướng hành động
