I will pay
 Focus on long-term goals to decide to purchase something which means I will
consider how long it can be used.
 What factors influence your purchasing decisions?
 The most important and first on this list is the financial factor. I usually buy with a
discount of 30-50%, but it must be suitable for me. I tend to waiting the big sale
day like Black Friday, at that time, I will buy to save more money when buying
them on a normal day.
 Social factor: When I go on Internet like TikTok and Facebook, there are many
advertisements and reviews about any products that make me curious, so I can buy
impulsively.

 Impulse buying which is the act of buying something with no plan can be good for
my relaxation, but it is not great for my buget. According to CNBC, impulse
 purchases are costing consumers almost $2000 a year. So, to advoid impulse
buying, I will stick to shopping lists which means I just buy within my list. As well
as It's important to have a savings plan with both short-term and long-term goals. I
will know what my target is to have approriate methods for my future

have the insight to avoid making
 mistakes like overspending

=> If given the chance, I would consider purchasing the same brand but a different
product. I will purchase the latest Apple Products which is my ambition. I love Apple
products because they are of qualified quality and sensible design but at an expensive
price. However, I think that "you get what you pay for ", the expensive price can bring
feelings of luxury, fashion, and premium.
3. Describe a film that made a strong impression on you.
You should say:
 when and where you watched this film
 I have watched a film whose name is Coco. And the "Coco" is the main character's
great-grandmother's name. His name is Miguel. The first time I watched the film was
when I watched the Vlog of Jenny Huynh. While she was on the plane, she decided to
watch an interesting film, and after that, she said that she had watched it three times, so
I was curious and decided to try it. I have been addicted to it. When I feel bored and
stressed as well as I wanna listen to English, I usually go on the internet to watch
"Coco".
 what the film was about
 "Coco", which was first released in Mexico, is a 2017 animated film produced by Pixar
Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The '' Coco" tells the story of
a young boy named Miguel Rivera who has a passion for music but faces opposition
from his family due to a long-standing ban on music. One the Day of the Dead, Miguel
finds himself in the colorful Land of the Dead, where he seeks the help of his deceased
ancestors to unravel the mystery of his family's history and understand his love for
music.
 The film explores themes of family, memory, tradition, and the importance of following
one's passion.
 The film won several awards, including two Academy Awards for Best Animated
Feature and Best Original Song ("Remember Me").
 why it made a strong impression on you.
=> The film has details that are funny, emotional, and meaningful.
I don't know why I felt peaceful and light after I watched the film. It brings feelings and
makes me less stressed and less tired. Moreover, When I went on the Int, I saw a post
recommending movies that learners of English should watch, so I decided to watch this
film twice and more times.
The first time I watched this film I both watched and read Vietnamese subtitles. However,
I surfed on Facebook, a blog that told us If wanna be better at English, never turn on
Vietnamese subtitles, so I watched this film with English subtitles at now. I will watch and
read English, and sometimes, I will speak following the characters in the film, I think it is
so exciting and good.
4. Talk about the reality of the environment in your place.
You should say:
 whether it is still good or much worse than before? Why do you think so?
  The environment in my place is quite better than before because most people started to
be aware of environmental protection. However, the amount of plastic waste and
garbage dumps are increasing masse and losing control.
 In my opinion, the pollution in my hometown which is a rural place results from litter
illegally everywhere, and removing trash hasn't been planned carefully and thoroughly
yet.

 Who is most responsible for the environmental problems?

 Humans are the main cause of environmental pollution. For example, Most people in
the countryside are farmers, so they will use fertilizers, but they usually don't clear out
trash which are plastic bottles, plastic bags, etc. Therefore, the plastic waste is pervasive
and gets out of control
 Can people make it better? By what ways?
 If I have a chance, I will try to organize meetings to help people become knowledgeable
about recycling and proper waste disposal. In addition, the government should enforce
policies to reduce single-use plastic and encourage sustainable practices such as
promoting alternative materials like biodegradable or eco-friendly packaging.
