Do you like to travel on your own or with your family?

Bạn thích đi du lịch một mình hay cùng gia đình?

[POINT]Point

I usually prefer travelling with family because shared experiences make trips more meaningful.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A travel companion provides company and practical support, although travelling alone gives more personal freedom.

[EXAMPLE]Example

On a family trip, people can share meals, photos and memories that continue after the holiday.

[EXTEND]Extend

Do you like to visit popular places or less-known places?

Bạn thích đến những địa điểm nổi tiếng hay những nơi ít người biết đến hơn?

[POINT]Point

I usually prefer less-known places because they often feel calmer and more authentic.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

I like to seek out a hidden gem where crowd levels are lower and the local atmosphere is easier to experience.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A small coastal town may be more relaxing than a famous attraction filled with tour groups.

[EXTEND]Extend

Popular places are still worth visiting when they are genuinely special, so I would choose based on the experience rather than fame alone.

What is the relationship between travel and the environment?

Mối quan hệ giữa du lịch và môi trường là gì?

[POINT]Point

Travel and the environment are closely connected because tourism can both support and damage natural areas.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Transport emissions, resource pressure and habitat damage increase the tourism footprint of busy destinations.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A fragile beach may suffer from waste and overcrowding if visitor numbers are poorly managed.

[EXTEND]Extend

Responsible travel can reduce these effects through cleaner transport, better waste systems and limits that protect sensitive places while still allowing tourism income.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of travelling alone?

Việc đi du lịch một mình có những ưu điểm và nhược điểm gì?

[POINT]Point

Travelling alone is a mixed bag because it offers freedom but also creates more responsibility.

Solo travel gives complete personal freedom over timing and activities, yet there is no companion to share costs or solve problems.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone can set off whenever they want, but they must manage luggage, directions and emergencies alone.

[EXTEND]Extend

The experience can build confidence and independence, although people should consider safety, loneliness and budget before choosing to travel solo.
