Describe what you think is a healthy diet?

Bạn nghĩ chế độ ăn uống lành mạnh là như thế nào?

[POINT]Point

A healthy diet should be balanced, varied and based mainly on nutrient-rich foods.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

It should include vegetables, fruit, whole grains, protein and enough water, while limiting excessive sugar, salt and heavily processed food.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Portion control also matters, because even healthy food can become a problem if people consistently eat too much.

[EXTEND]Extend

A good diet should be realistic and enjoyable so that healthy eating habits can be maintained over time rather than followed only for a few weeks.

Ở nước bạn có nhiều người ăn chay không?

[POINT]Point

There are some vegetarians in my country, but they are still a minority compared with people who eat meat.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

People may cut out meat for religious, ethical or health reasons.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Vegetarian meals are especially common during certain religious periods, and plant-based restaurants are becoming easier to find in cities.

[EXTEND]Extend

I expect vegetarian diets to become more visible in the future, although traditional eating habits mean meat and fish will probably remain common.

Is 'fast food' popular in your country?

Thức ăn nhanh có phổ biến ở nước bạn không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, fast food is quite popular, especially among young people and busy workers.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Its main attractions are convenience, predictable taste and relatively affordable meals.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Students may choose burgers, fried chicken or pizza when they need something quick after school or work.

[EXTEND]Extend

However, many people still prefer traditional food for regular meals, so fast food is popular without completely replacing local eating habits.

Do you or, do people in your country generally prefer to eat at home or eat out?

Bạn hoặc người dân ở đất nước bạn nói chung thích ăn ở nhà hay ăn ngoài hơn?

[POINT]Point

Most people probably prefer home-cooked meals for everyday life, although eating out is also very common.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Food at home is usually more cost-effective and gives people more control over ingredients.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Families may cook during the week but eat out at weekends or on special occasions.

[EXTEND]Extend

That gives them the best of both worlds: regular home food for comfort and budget, plus restaurants for variety and convenience.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

When people sit down together, they can talk about their day, solve small problems and maintain a shared routine.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Parents may notice a child's worries during an ordinary dinner before the issue becomes serious.

[EXTEND]Extend

Families do not need to share every meal, but regular open conversation around food can strengthen relationships and create a stronger sense of connection.
