What would you say is the most popular form of entertainment in your country? Why?

Theo bạn, hình thức giải trí nào phổ biến nhất ở nước bạn? Tại sao?

[POINT]Point

The most popular form of entertainment in my country is probably online entertainment, especially streaming video, social media and mobile gaming.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These activities are cheap, convenient and available almost everywhere through smartphones.

[EXAMPLE]Example

People can watch a short video during a break, play a game on a bus or stream a film at home.

[EXTEND]Extend

Traditional activities such as cinema, live music and sport remain important, but digital entertainment fits modern schedules more easily because users can choose the time, place and length themselves.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Do you think people have lost the ability to entertain themselves?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng mọi người đã đánh mất khả năng tự giải trí không?

[POINT]Point

I do not think people have completely lost the ability to entertain themselves, but constant digital stimulation has made it harder for some people to tolerate boredom.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Phones provide instant entertainment, so people may reach for a screen instead of using imagination or a creative hobby.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone waiting ten minutes may immediately open social media rather than simply observe their surroundings.

[EXTEND]Extend

People can still make their own fun through reading, sport, conversation or hobbies, but these habits need more deliberate effort than before.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Could you speculate on how you think entertainment might change in the future?

Bạn có thể dự đoán xem ngành giải trí có thể thay đổi như thế nào trong tương lai không?

[POINT]Point

Entertainment will probably branch out into more interactive and personalised forms in the future.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Virtual experiences, AI and better devices will allow audiences to participate instead of only watching.

[EXAMPLE]Example

People may attend virtual concerts, enter interactive stories or receive entertainment created for their individual tastes.

[EXTEND]Extend

Traditional films, music and games will still exist, but the boundary between creator and audience may become less clear as users gain more control over what happens and how the experience develops.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Do you think entertainers such as football or film stars are paid too much for what they do? If so, which jobs do you think should be better paid?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng những người nổi tiếng trong giới giải trí như cầu thủ bóng đá hay ngôi sao điện ảnh được trả lương quá cao so với công sức của họ không? Nếu có, bạn nghĩ những công việc nào nên được trả lương cao hơn?

[POINT]Point

Some entertainers are paid extremely large amounts, but their income often reflects market value rather than the social importance of their work.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Famous athletes and actors can generate huge ticket, advertising and media revenue, which explains high pay.

[EXAMPLE]Example

However, essential workers such as nurses, teachers or emergency staff may contribute more directly to society while earning much less.

[EXTEND]Extend

I would not simply cap celebrity income, but the pay gap shows why societies should also improve salaries and working conditions in essential professions.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Would you agree with the opinion that we pay too much to be entertained nowadays?

Bạn có đồng ý với ý kiến cho rằng ngày nay chúng ta phải trả quá nhiều tiền cho việc giải trí không?

[POINT]Point

I partly agree that entertainment can feel too expensive today, especially when people pay for many separate services.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Subscription fatigue grows when streaming, music, games and sports all require different monthly payments.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A household may spend more on several subscriptions than it once spent on one television package.

[EXTEND]Extend

However, there are also many free alternatives, so the problem is often not the price of one activity but the total cost created by having too many entertainment choices at the same time.
