Tet Holiday
Tet Holiday
according to the lunar calendar and lasts for 3 days. With the meaning of seeing the old year
off and welcoming the new year, Tet becomes a special occasion of reunion for Vietnamese
families.
"Tet" is the word that is very familiar to Vietnamese people whenever we think about our
country. This is the time for family reunion and for people to give love to their loved one. As
for me, I enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere when all members of my family stay and talk
together
1. How do you prepare for the Tet holiday?
Firstly, all members of my families clean and decorate house together. Secondly, we buy
food, drink such as cookies, sweets, melon seeds...to offer our guests because in this
occasion, many shops are closed. A branch of peach flower or a kumquat tree are the
indispensable items during these special days. Children are the most eager, as their parents
will buy them new clothes. Lastly, we make Chung cake, jellied meat, which are our country's
traditional food on Tet holiday.
2. What are your activities on Tet holiday?
Firstly, Tet is the time where everybody rushes to go home and reunite with family. It’s truly
the time for every generation to gather under the same roof. I’m not the exception. I go to
my countryside to welcome the new year. Secondly, on Tet holiday, Vietnamese adults
usually give children red envelops containing money inside. This set of gift is called “lucky
money” delivered to kids in order to bring them luck in a new year. I sometimes give my
parents and the elderly “lucky money” in the hope of wishing them health, success as well as
happiness. Lastly, I go to the pagoda to pray for health, happiness and luck for my family
during the year.
3. What should be avoided during Tet holiday?
- Sweep house
- If people usually wish greetings during Tet holidays, it is forbidden to say bad things like death or swear
in this occasion. People also should avoid having arguments and shout at each other during Tet because
it can bring them an inharmonic year. When having any conflict, try to calm down and keep it as peaceful
as possible.
- Another thing people should avoid doing is sweeping the house or emptying the trash bin especially on
the first day of the new year. People believe that if you sweep the floor, all the luck and money will flow
out of your house.
- People are supposed not to wear white or black clothes on the first day of Tet. Usually, white and black
are colors of funeral in Vietnam. As a result, wearing them on the first days of the New Year may
symbolize deaths and unlucky things. Colorful outfits are recommended.
Yes, I want to have a lucky year and I obey those advice from previous generation.
I would say in this days and age, Tet has lost its original spirit and most adults treat it as a normal holiday
in which they can have 2 weeks off to blow off some steam and release stress. However, to me, Tet
holiday is still a distinct festival of Vietnam. Whenever this holiday comes, I feel a strong sense of
belonging because it reminds me of how diverse our culture can be with different rituals and food.
Moreover, I think if Tet holiday didn’t exist, many family members would drift apart due to the hustle
and bustle of life. However, since we have Tet, everyone will have at least one or two days to have family
gatherings and tighten the bonds with other members.
Firstly, Tet is the time where everybody rushes to go home and reunite with family. It’s truly
the time for every generation to gather under the same roof. I’m not the exception. I went to

parents and the elderly “lucky money” in the hope of wishing them health, success as well as
happiness. Lastly, I went to the pagoda to pray for health, happiness and luck for my family
during the year.
3. What is the scariest thing about Tet?
Actually, I’m really afraid of doing housework on Tet holiday. I must wash too many dishes after each
meal.
There are 2 questions that really drives me insane. The 1 st is about my income, and the 2 nd is about my
boyfriend.
Of course, my relatives. We don’t often see each other, so the fact that they ask me those questions is
understandable. But they still tick me off.
7. Do you think young people like us are overreacting to those kinds of questions?
nbsb
2. Have you ever pulled an all-nighter? -> Yes, younger, especially at university
3. What was the last time you pulled an all-nighter? -> I confessed to my crush and he refused. I wasted
my time on thinking how well I treated him, how good I was and how bad he was.
4. How did you feel the next morning? -> I felt sad
After staying up all night, it’s important to get back to a regular sleep schedule as
quickly as possible
Get yourself some caffeine
If you’re tired and need to stay awake, caffeine is most likely the first thing that
comes to mind, and with good reason.Caffeine increases brain activity and
makes you feel more energetic.
Doing exercise
Stretching your muscles and moving around help blood flow, refreshing your mind
and keeping you focused. Take a break every 45–60 minutes.
Make up your sleep debt when you get the chance. If you pull an all-nighter
on Friday, make sure to sleep in on Saturday to restore your body to its rested
state.
Red Bull
With 80mg of caffeine in a can of Red Bull energy drink, it gives you a
nice energy boost to get you through the night.
However, regular Red Bull has 27g of sugar per 8.4 fl.oz can, which I
personally consider to be a bit much.
But, there are alternatives to this provided by Red Bull. Red Bull has
sugar-free versions such as Red Bull Total Zero, which has the same
contents except with no sugar.
It’s a great energy drink and one of my personal favs whenever I need
to pull an all-nighter to study for my exams.
If you’re thinking about making Red Bull a consistent part of your diet,
check out my other article where I cover what happens when you drink
Red Bull every day.
1. Do you consider yourself healthy?
Yes, I try to look after my body and mind and to feel a little bit better each day. I have a couple of
conditions, but I'm healthy. Being alive is beautiful and I am happy. I'm able to keep learning, growing
and coping. (hump-backed)
- Reduces Stress: Physical exercise reduces the stress hormones in your body and stimulates
the release of endorphins. These endorphins may give you more energy and focus for
whatever life has.
Sleeping better can improve your mental outlook the next day, as well as improving your
mood. Just be careful not to engage in sports too late in the day. Evening practices within a
few hours of bedtime may leave you too energized to sleep!
Individual sports, such as running, cycling, and weightlifting, are all particularly effective ways
to burn calories. Staying within a recommended weight range reduces the likelihood of
developing diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension.
6. Do you think most people worry more about their health as they get older?
Yes, without a doubt! When you're young, you can affort to drink alcohol and
stay awake all night long without damaging your health very much... But as you
get older, your body demands more attention and care, therefore you need to
worry about your health more and have frequent check-ups
7. What could be done to encourage health in your country?
First, the government should provide more adequate facilities for sport in local parks.
This might make playing sports more accessible to the public, especially to those who
are up to their ears in work and don’t find any idle time to hit the gym on a regular
basis.
Second, the government should bring in healthy food rationing on television or social
media so that people are well aware of a balanced diet. At the same time, the
government can raise taxes on junk food so that people can cut down on these fatty
and unhealthy foods.
the government should help to reduce the working hours of workers and the
heavy workload of students with the same pay. So, they have more free time to
participate in a sport or prepare for their own meals at home.
8. Does modern technology have a positive and negative influence on people’s health?
First of all, one can spend more time with his family helping his child do his homework,
fishing with the whole family, etc. Second of all, one has fewer responsibilities. He just does
his job and does not care about the market, competitors and expected profit. One taking a
vacation can forget about all troubles, relax and not worry about who does his job during
his absence. Finally, an employee can always find a more interesting job with a higher
salary.
They will have steady income through their monthly salaries, despite that their companies
might be performing poorly. And then they would have additional benefits from the
company such as medical allowance, annual leaves and company cars as well. Lastly,
companies are also paying the retirement fund for their employees as well.
3. What are the disadvantages of working for a big company?
some people dislike being a professional worker. They feel that they have limited and
restricted time, and sometimes the workload is also unreasonable
4. What are the advantages of starting up your own business?
You have the freedom to make any kind of decision regarding your company,
without being governed by someone else. So the independence is one of the
main reasons. A further reason is the fact that you can have a flexible work
schedule to manage as you wish.
5. What are the disadvantages of starting up your own business?
To start with, there is no guarantee that a self employed person will earn
enough to live a comfortable life. When people work for a company, they have
the assurance of a guaranteed paycheck at the end of the month; however,
when they work for themselves this guarantee is missing. Another
disadvantage is that many self employed people work day and night and do
not get time to spend with their family and friends. Thus, it creates an
imbalance in their work and personal life. Moreover, a huge difference can be
seen in their daily routine which affects their health adversely.
6. Do you think it’s wise to start up your own business at a young age?
If you had started your own business from a young age, you would not have to limit
your income to the salary for a particular position within the company. By starting your
own business, you could feel the direct relationship between the effort you make and
your income growth. So, your earnings could be only limited by your ambitions and self-
motivation level.
7. Do you think it’s good to work for big companies forever and never try to start up a business?
Toán học không hẳn là môn học tôi ghét, nhưng tôi không thể nói rằng tôi thích nó
được. Tôi không giỏi xử lý các con số và bộ não của tôi không thể xử lý tốt với các bài
tập phức tạp, nhưng tôi rất vui khi thực hiện các phép tính đơn giản.
From my perspective, there is always a need for math in daily life which is why it
is important to learn math in school. For example, it's helpful whether you're
adding or subtracting, or trying to calculate how much the discount is.
3. Is Math the most important subject at school?
This is one of the compulsory subjects from primary to high school and
even university. Math teaches learner about numbers and operation.
Being good at math brings us several advantages. Doing math exercise
improves one’s brain and its brainstorm. Moreover, people learning math
can think more logically and make up one mind. There are many subjects
we can apply mathematics to solve the problem: economics, engineering
and even business.
4. What would happen if we didn’t have math?
Depend on calculators for everything.
5. What can someone do if they don’t like Math?
- Self study is important
- Find a math tutor to help them know this subject inside out.
6. Is it true that a student who excels in Math is also good at all subjects?
Of course not. I see some of my friend who are really bad at Maths but great at languages.
7. In your opinion, what is the most important subject at school besides Math?
Hmm, I can’t say. I haven’t noticed whether one gender is better than the other
at Maths. However, I’ve heard the stereotype that women don’t tend to think as
logically as men, so maybe this affects their mathematical abilities.
My teachers, with my parents’ help at home. It all started with very basic
equations like “If I take away one of these jelly beans, how many are there?”,
which my parents practiced with me at home, also. But, first and foremost, it
started at school.
1. Have you ever imagined being a boss?
Introverted people are described as being reserved, quiet and calm. Introverted people are
sensitive to their environment, and get overwhelmed by too much external stimulation.
Im not very shy but i don't like talking to people. I avoid phone calls . i don't go outside, i
love reading, watching youtube videos and learning new things. And talking to my
crush(sorry we don't talk anymore) i avoid all social ocation and interacts. I hate small talks
but i love meaningfull talks. Sometimes i get irritated because we should go outside and
interact with people . and people will think you are a stupid if you socially awkward
i am an introvert . Coz of the following traits common among all introverts.
7. Do you think there are some people who can be introvert and extrovert at the same time?
ambivert
You don’t mind being amongst lots of people and strangers. You may however, be happier not
interacting with these people. Sitting in the middle of the busy food court in a mall, not talking to
anyone is quite alright with you.
2. Small talk is okay. And in depth and intimate conversations are too.
While ambiverts are more drawn to topical conversations with meaning and interest, you are able to
handle small talk too. Talking about The Weather” or “The Kardashians” don’t bring about feelings of
anxiety but find yourself usually immersed in The World and all its things.
You can hang out (and be comfortable) with any type of personality. In fact, if you’re with someone
with lots of energy, you become more reserved, while if you’re with a more reserved person, you’ll
help them come out of their shell in a non-intrusive way of course.
At the same time, you’re able to read different people’s personalities pretty accurately too. This is
especially because you’re able to identify with both, so you know what’ll make them tick and what will
make them more comfortable.
As an ambivert, you honestly don’t mind working in a team, and you’re able to complete a solo
project too. In fact, there is something to enjoy in both.
5. Your best memory is that party. And that time you were alone.
Ambiverts enjoy both a wild party and an intimate dinner. You’re fine staying home alone cuddled
with a book, good movie or video game. You are completely satisfied by both scenarios.
6. New people and new places are okay. New people in new places aren’t.
You are more comfortable in a space where there is at least one familiar thing. For example, you
don’t mind going to a new place as long as someone you’re familiar with goes along too. Also, you
are able to meet a whole bunch of new people, as long as your surroundings are familiar.
7. There’s a tug of war inside
Because you’re comfy with busy and quiet, loud and soft, staying in and going out, you can adapt to
your surroundings and adjust your energy level accordingly. You have a keen sense of knowing what
type of behaviour is appropriate in any given situation.
As a professional, this is very important as you can discern when the situation calls for you to speak
up, hold your tongue, take action, or just observe. You have several options up your sleeve, each of
which can be played naturally.
At the same time, it is important to find the right balance; too much socialising can leave you feeling
drained; too much alone time could make you feel lonely and withdrawn.
Well, the first thing I would say is probably the size. Nowadays, festivals tend to be very big even if they
start small they usually grow into events for thousands of people whereas in the past festivals were
generally more local affairs held in the community, so they were much smaller in nature. Also, another
difference is in the past people celebrated events to do with nature and the seasons. I’m thinking of things
like harvests and May celebrations where in my country people used to dance with ribbons around a pole.
This may have been linked to earlier Pagan fertility rites. By and large, although there are still national
celebrations today, an increasing number of festivals are music-related and these attract huge numbers of
people.
How To Move On From Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You Back
1. Accept the reality of the situation.
While it's easy to dwell in the past and hang on to a small sliver of hope that this person will one day come
around, the best course of action is to accept reality.
2. Give yourself time to heal.
Emotional pains and wounds are the worst to heal from. It might even take you longer than expected, but
in the end, you will find the light at the end of the tunnel. Remember to not hold back and let your feelings
out. If you need help from a mental health professional to express your feelings, feel free to do so.
3. Find a person with the same problems.
You are not the only person who has relationship problems. Many people have experienced the pain of
unrequited love, and they got past it. Tell your close ones about your feelings. Ask them how they survived
it and what they did to release the pain.
4. Do a workout
There are many ways to restore your emotional balance. The most effective of them is physical exercises.
They can help you to get rid of your negativity. Start jogging every morning or go to fitness classes. Go to
the gym or to a swimming pool. Learn how to ride a horse — you will definitely get a lot of positive
emotions from communication with animals.
First of all, online learning is time – saving and cost – efficient for students.
Students can learn anywhere and anytime they want. It is very convenient
and flexible. They can also reduce some costs such as rent, real estate,
facilities or location cost. Moreover, learning via internet helps them have
open access to knowledge sources across the world. For instance, student all
over the world now can have opportunities to learn some online course of
Harvard University. Finally, elearning has benefits for teachers as well. They
can keep track of each student performance and provide personal life
training. It helps teachers have an overview of each student’s study
performance.
4. What are the advantages of technology in education?
Firstly, utilizing technology gives the teachers and students the ability to really get into
the subject that they are learning about by creating the amazing illustrations on
smartboards, computers or projectors.
Finally, no more heavy and overloaded backpacks are required. The higher level one
proceeds in education, the more books and tools they are required to bring with them
each day, but this would no longer be a problem if all learning resources are online.
5. Can we replace teachers with computers?
Student-centred learning
In student-centred learning approaches, students are encouraged to take an active role in the classroom,
rather than taking part in more passive activities like listening to a lecture or writing an essay. They will
have lots of discussions with their peers and teachers, and they’ll also be encouraged to ask questions.
As a teacher, it’s your job to be an excellent facilitator. You should encourage open communication,
curiosity, creativity and exploration. At the end of a classroom activity, the teacher should urge students to
reflect on what they’ve learnt.
Well, my musical taste varies widely from classical music to contemporary music. However, I enjoy
listening to pop music.
I have known them since I was in the 8th grade. At that time, they were well-known and respected in Asia.
I think he’s been inspiring to a lot of people, in Korea and in general. Despite G-Dragon and BIGBANG not
releasing any new music in years, the group’s influence is so strong that both older and newer idols are
still inspired by them.
Here are some phrases to indicate that although you are not going to answer
the question, you are not disagreeing with the asker.
I don't have the data here/at hand (right now), and I need to check it before
answering.
I'm not sure what the answer to that is, and I don't want to mislead anyone, so I
don't think I can answer that right now.
I know that AA and BB are researching that, but I don't know what they've
found.
That's beyond the scope of this research, and I'm not sure how to give a
reasonable answer. But that's an interesting point.
That would be interesting to find out, but I don't know the answer. Thank you
for raising the question.
That might be more in the field of X, and I'm not that familiar with it enough to
answer.
4. When there are so many people asking the same question, what do you say?
gather all into an issue, answer all the questions.
5. If time is running out, but there are still many questions, what do you say?
You can also encourage your audience to ask questions after the event has
finished by providing your email address. This shows a high level of respect for
your audience and implies that the topic still has much further scope for
enquiry.
Some speakers prefer questions to be raised as they arise during the presentation.
The advantage of this approach is that any misunderstandings can be dealt with
immediately. However, there is also a danger that the question will disrupt or distract
the speaker, or that questions are raised that would have been covered later in the
presentation.
If you leave questions until the end, plan to leave plenty of time for questions so that
the audience doesn’t feel rushed.
1. What kinds of places are more popular among tourists in your country?
2. Why do people travel to different tourists sports?
3. What can tourists learn from visiting new places?
4. Will your country and people benefit from more international tourists? How?
5. Is there any negative influence of international tourists have on local people? Why is so?
6. Why do you think tourism is so developed now?
7. What kind of transport do you prefer on holidays? Why?
8. Do you prefer traveling alone or in tour groups? Why?
1. Do you usually lie?
I have lied before and yes I felt guilty because I was taught by my parents that it is wrong and I
understood that it was wrong. Nowadays, honesty is very important to me. I also expect honesty
from others.
2. What makes you tell a lie?
Sometimes it depends on what I’m lying about. For example if I'm lying to hide my feeling
about how I like (let's say) a friend's new outfit, I don’t feel bad about that because I'm trying
not to hurt their feelings.
Sometimes i tell lies because I'm afraid of hurting someone's feelings, to avoid a potential
conflict, or it's something i just don't want to talk about something. They are often referred
to as little white lies, which are told to mean no harm. It is never a good thing to lie. As far as
lying to intentionally deceive someone I don't.
3. Which one is harder: telling a truth or lie?
Truth is always preferred over lies. A lie or a false hope can give you momentary happiness but
in the long run when that lie is exposed, then one has to bear the bitter consequences of it. Also,
stating the truth lets one stay at peace. When u lie to hide a matter, u have to say a string of lies
then just to justify ur lie. Thus making one conscious of his very being and nervousness follows
it. A fear also develops as in what would happen if anyone catches my lie, thus becoming restless
at times.
So, I would just say prefer truth over lies because a lie would give you momentary pleasure but it
can ruin your relationships with people. Saying a lie also creates a distance between you and your
eternal self i.e. your soul.
Be honest, be happy!!
4. Why is that?
5. Why do many people tell lies?
Sometimes it’s to protect the liar from being punished, or to protect someone else from
punishment. The lie might be to avoid being embarrassed, to hide an awkward situation,
or to simply have others think better of the person telling the fib.
The most common reason why we lie is to make ourselves appear better, bigger, more awesome,
more virtuous, more talented.
We lie in a misguided attempt to make someone happy, to make another person like us more, to
keep someone else from something we have done that we wish we could take back or just keep a
secret.
We lie to make things easier. Because we are under the mistaken impression that a quick lie saves
us from a long explanation. (Spoiler: it doesn’t.)
We lie to escape consequences we don’t want to face.
Underneath nearly every lie is the fear that we are not good enough
6. What are the advantages of telling the truth?
1. You don’t have to remember your lies.
Once you have told a lie, you need to remember that lie so as not to contradict yourself in the
future. This can create a state of anxiety as you worry about being in a situation where you could
be ‘found out’. If you never lie, you don’t need to worry about your lies being discovered and
you’ll live a happier, less anxious life.
2. You’ll earn trust and respect.
Constantly telling the truth will earn you trust and respect from friends, family and work
colleagues.
3. You’ll create deeper connections with people.
Telling the truth shows a willingness to openly express your feelings and private thoughts. This
behavior encourages others to reciprocate, deepening friendships and relationships.
4. You’ll feel more confident.
Being truthful with other people means we are also being truthful with ourselves. We can take
pride that we are not betraying our own thoughts or beliefs which can build our self-confidence.
If you are interested in building confidence, please read my article on how to appear
confident and my review of the best confidence building classes available online today.
5. Trust creates opportunities.
If a work colleague is aware that you are not always truthful, they will not be able to trust you
and will be guarded in their dealings with you. If your colleague believes you are an honest
person and to be trusted, friendship, information, and opportunities are more likely to flow your
way.
6. Lying takes energy.
Every time you need to decide whether to tell the truth or lie and if you decide to lie, what will
the lie be, you are using energy. If you are facing this dilemma multiple times a day it can be both
mentally and physically taxing.
7. You won’t get caught lying.
Getting caught lying is embarrassing. If you always tell the truth you can’t get caught out!
8. Truth attracts truth.
100% truthful people are rare in today’s society and are an important and valuable commodity.
People who tell the truth are instinctively drawn to other honest speaking people. Being honest
can bring you better quality friends and acquaintances.
Find a Conversation Partner: If possible, it’s best to find a native English speaker with
whom you can practice your English. If you don’t know anyone in your direct network,
consider finding a tutor. Otherwise, you can always find someone online to digitally connect
with and practice your conversation skills.
Make Sure To Listen As Well As Speak: One of the best ways to understand the formulation
of sentences and build your vocabulary is to listen to people speak. Try listening to podcasts
and recorded conversations. From YouTube to real-life conversations, there are so many
places to access English speaking.
Record Your Conversation Practice: When it comes to speaking, you will likely make
mistakes. But you have to be open to making mistakes so that you can learn from them. If you
record yourself speaking with your conversation partner, you can play it back and learn even
better. That way, you can track your progress and pick up on pronunciation.
Surround Yourself With The English Language: English is everywhere. No matter where
you live, you can find menus, marketing materials, books, movies, road signs, and more with
the English language. The more you immerse yourself and pay attention to these daily pieces
of English, the stronger your foundation will be.
Practice With Music and Movies: Most people like to relax and unwind with some music or
entertainment in the form of movies. You can choose to watch movies in English, or instead,
watch them in your native language with English subtitles that you can read.
Read Aloud: If you like to read more than speak and make up your own conversation, try
reading out loud. That way, you can hear yourself pronounce the words and remember them
more because you are both seeing and reading them.
Talk To Yourself: If you’re still unsure whether you’re ready to put your speaking skills to
the test, simply talk to yourself! The more you practice with yourself, the better your English
skills will become.
Communicate Regularly
1. The most severe problem in terms of the environment in my hometown might be air
pollution. The air is becoming seriously polluted in recent years. Actually, this issue
results from the heavy volume of traffic on every corner of the hometown. Also, some
factories located surrounding my hometown emit a great deal of smoke and carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere. So, the air in my hometown is becoming more and more
contaminated.
2. Solve the problems
Using public transport is a sure short way of contributing to less air pollution as it
provides with less gas and energy, even carpools contribute to it. In addition to less
release of fuels and gas, using a public transport can also help in saving money.
Plant more trees and greenery
Supporting local garden initiatives (or starting your own) can help improve the long-term
air quality in your local neighbourhood. Plants help clean the air around them by
consuming CO2.
Reducing the consumption of coal. Burning it releases elements like mercury and arsenic,
and small particles of soot which contribute to air pollution. When we breathe it in, that
soot harms our heart and lungs and even increases our risk of strokes.
3. Why we should be concerned about the environment?
4.
5.
Ppl should protect nature.There are a variety of benefits of protecting places of natural
beauty, two of which are environmental and ecnomic benefits.
First of all, one of the most widely recognized favorable influences of natural beauty is
environmental benefits. For example, people try to protect natural beauty, which can
make it easy for people to live comfortably because the better protected the places of
natural beauty, the greater the number of healthier people. In addition, the number of
places of natural beauty should be increased because when this is the case, harmful gases
produced by factories or people may be decreased and the air may become cleaner.
Secondly, another positive impact of protecting places of natural beauty is economic
benefits. For instance, if a country protects its natural beauty, both its own citizens and
people living in other countries can visit it. People come to see it, which provides
economic power for the country.
1. Have you ever told lies in your life?
I have lied before and yes I felt guilty because I was taught by my parents that it is wrong and I
understood that it was wrong. Nowadays, honesty is very important to me. I also expect honesty
from others.
2. Did your lies cause any problem?
3. Are you often telling lies now?
Sometimes it depends on what I’m lying about. For example if I'm lying to hide my feeling about
how I like (let's say) a friend's new outfit, I don’t feel bad about that because I'm trying not to
hurt their feelings.
Sometimes i tell lies because I'm afraid of hurting someone's feelings, to avoid a potential
conflict, or it's something i just don't want to talk about something. They are often referred to as
little white lies, which are told to mean no harm. It is never a good thing to lie. As far as lying to
intentionally deceive someone I don't.
4. Is telling lies always immoral?
A lie is not necessarily immoral. Instead, it can be benign and beneficial. There are occasions in
life on which people have to conceal part of the truth or even twist facts. For example, it is
acceptable if one withholds a fact from a friend or family member that he or she
is diagnosed with cancer. It is to give the patient a peaceful frame of mind, a condition that has
a healing power. From this example, one can observe that while a falsehood is condemned by
many on ethical grounds, it in fact shows sympathy and goodwill.
5. In which circumstances is telling lies considered depraved?
Sometimes it’s to protect the liar from being punished, or to protect someone else from
punishment. The lie might be to avoid being embarrassed, to hide an awkward situation, or to
simply have others think better of the person telling the fib.
The most common reason why we lie is to make ourselves appear better, bigger, more awesome,
more virtuous, more talented.
We lie in a misguided attempt to make someone happy, to make another person like us more, to
keep someone else from something we have done that we wish we could take back or just keep a
secret.
7. Is honesty always good and necessary?
White lies are harmless and can be socially beneficial. For example, sometimes people tell a lie to
prioritize another person’s feelings over truthfulness. If someone cooks something on their own

supernatural force they have felt. Then there are those who get it merely because it is fashionable
5. What are some common stereotypes about people with tattoos?
In the past, many countries used tattoos to mark criminals, to separate them from the majority
and to deter people from committing crimes. In China, for example, authorities would tattoo the
faces of prisoners who committed severe crimes before they were banished to another land.
Tattooed people are often stereotyped to be gang members. This is true to a certain extent
because tattoos have become a popular method adopted by gang members to mark their group
identity and their alienation from the mainstream norm and social networks. Gang members in
particular take pride in branding themselves as outside of the boundaries of conventional society.
6. Why do people often associate tattoos with negative things?
Firstly, the way tattoo was used in the past, the fact that gang members do use tattoos as an
identity and lastly, the image created by the mass media. Television dramas and movies have
portray tattoos in the bad light, using tattoos as way to identify criminals, villains and gang
members. Mass media which includes the newspaper, movies and television has always been a
great power of influence of people, affecting our viewpoints, decisions, perceptions, beliefs and
even our habits in life. This is because, advancement in technology has made access to mass
media content easier to everyone, so much so that it has become a tool for people to obtain
knowledge of the world.

more open to the idea.
In fact, the law does not ban people from having their body inked, even in the army.

Yes, our country is famous for lakes and big rivers. So swimming is very popular here.

Snorkeling and kitesurfing have recently been introduced to beach resorts but not many people
play these water sports because they are not affordable.

No. unfortunately. I live in a city where there are very few places to swim. We only have some

1. Do you love reading book? Why?
Well, reading is part and parcel of my daily activities because it’s an excellent means

become the closest friends of mine.
1. WHAT KINDS OF ADVERTISEMENTS DO YOU WATCH?
Well, I don’t go out of my way to watch advertisements. But the ones I tend to see on
videos I watch are usually for things like clothes or books, since that is the bulk of my
online shopping habits. The internet then shows me ads based on my browsing history.
2. DO YOU WATCH ADVERTISEMENTS FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END?
Most advertisements make you watch the whole thing, especially if they pop up in the
middle of a video you’re watching. But if I have the option to skip them, I always do. I
would rather just focus on the thing I wanted to see in the first place. Sometimes ads can
be interesting, but mostly they’re just annoying.
3. HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT SOMETHING BECAUSE OF ITS ADVERTISEMENT?
Actually, yes I have! I once bought a pair of wireless headphones because I kept seeing
advertisements for them. They were pretty expensive, but the ads made them look so
convenient. Plus, they were fairly stylish for that kind of accessory. So I decided to take the
plunge and I actually loved the product.
4. Are there any advertisements you like?
5. What is the purpose of advertising?
One of the most widely accepted purpose of advertisements is to increase the recognition
of a brand name or product. When a new product enters the market, it does not easily gain
the favor of the buyers unless they are well informed about it. That is, an awareness about
the product must exist before a favorable attitude toward the brand can be developed.
In some cases, advertising is used for the purpose of persuading the customer to place an
order for the product. Mail order houses through leaflets and catalogs, advertise their
products in such a manner that customers are convinced of their value and are tempted to
write to the institution to get the product without going to a shopping mall or without
going into further details about the product.
Reminding buyers to use the product:
For discretionary items having an irregular or unusual pattern, an appropriate advertising
policy must aim at stimulating the primary demand. To attain this objective, the buyers
must be reminded not only to use the product but also to restock it.
6. What makes an advertisement effective?
Well … when a company launches a product they have to consider the Internet …
especially how it can be used to spread the word on social media … so in this context a
video that goes viral is probably the most effective type of advert you could make.
7. Do you think that advertisements should be strictly regulated?
Advertising needs more regulation. During a commercial, many claims can be made that
are purposely misleading. Advertisers try to make up for this by having fine print that
fully explains their claims, but the fine print will not be viewed by the majority of people
since its brief and hard to see. This allows advertisers to essentially get away with false
advertisement on a regular basis. Customers often expect something different from what
their purchasing and are left disappointed. Stricter regulations will protect consumers
from misleading and false advertisements.
8. How important is it for advertisers to tell the whole truth in advertisements?
To make a well-informed decision about a product or a service, you need accurate
information, not information that’s misleading. All advertising has to be truthful, and not
mislead consumers by lying—or bending the truth—about the product. It’s the law. ads
can’t be unfair.

special moments with your loved ones in the kitchen.
3. Is it important for girls in general to be good at cooking now? Why?
There are numerous reasons behind it that indicate that learn how to cook is pivotal for
youngsters. Firstly, food is required for everyone, the children can easily be hungry and
need more food than adults. Secondly, in these educational times, young people live away
from homes for higher education hence acknowledgement of cooking dishes is beneficial
for them, although spicy food is deleterious for the body as well as expensive.
4. If a woman is a housewife, does she need to be good at cooking? Why or why not?
Women are a strong foundation of a strong family. Meal preparation at home is one way
to bring your family together. It is like giving and sharing the love for each member of the
family. Everyone can be involved from preparing the ingredients to cooking the food to
washing the dishes. Your little kids can read the recipe or your older children can chop
some vegetables or other ingredients needed.
5. So if she is a working woman, does she need to be good at cooking? Why or why not?
It creates balanced meals
Carefully planning your menu gives you the time to create balanced meals that contain
vitamins, minerals, protein, fat, and carbohydrates – everything your body needs. Once
you eat these healthy meals, you will feel more satisfied and stronger than ever. There is
nothing more important than serving your family with nutritious food at all times.
It lets you save more money
Cooking your own meals absolutely saves you a lot than buying prepared meals or eating
on restaurants. It is actually a practical way for families who are on a tight budget or
simply prefer home- cooked food than fast food or the like. Moreover, if you still have
leftovers, then you may recreate a new recipe out of it. You can bring it to work or school
– saves you the hassle of buying food for lunch.
6. What happens if a housewife can’t cook well?
7. What about men? Do they need to be good at cooking in married life? Why or why
not?
I believe that women should be treated equally to men.
This is the best education for our children – showing them that we have to treat both sexes
equally.
Yes, it is. Every man should know how to cook. It’s high time for us to get rid
of the stereotype that cooking is a woman’s job. Now, both men and women can
be breadwinners of a family and bring home the bacon. That’s why household chores
should be shared between both wives and husbands and cooking is no exception.
Husbands who can cook can contribute to ensuring gender equality, I suppose.
