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

How does the store owner know what kind of music is attractive?

Chủ cửa hàng làm sao biết được loại nhạc nào thu hút khách hàng?

[POINT]Point

Store owners can learn what music attracts customers by observing behaviour and collecting feedback.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They can compare music preferences with sales patterns, time spent in the shop and the overall store atmosphere.

[EXAMPLE]Example

If customers stay longer and respond positively when soft music is playing, the owner may use that style more often.

[EXTEND]Extend

The best choice also depends on the brand and target customers, so owners should test different playlists rather than assume one type of music works for everyone.

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

Should children learn musical instruments when they are young?

Trẻ em có nên học nhạc cụ từ khi còn nhỏ không?

[POINT]Point

Learning a musical instrument when young can be very beneficial, although it should not become a source of pressure.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Regular practice can develop fine motor skills, listening ability and self-discipline.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A child learning piano may gradually build a practice habit and become more patient when mastering difficult pieces.

[EXTEND]Extend

The main goal should be enjoyment and steady development, so parents should choose an instrument that suits the child and avoid forcing long practice sessions if interest is low.

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

Is music important in movies?

Âm nhạc có vai trò quan trọng trong phim ảnh không?

[POINT]Point

Music is extremely important in movies because it shapes how viewers feel about a scene.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A background score can bring out emotional tone, build scene tension or signal that something important is about to happen.

[EXAMPLE]Example

The same conversation may feel romantic with soft music but threatening with darker sounds.

[EXTEND]Extend

Good film music usually supports the story without distracting from it, so viewers may not always notice the soundtrack consciously even though it strongly affects their emotional response.

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

What kind of books do children like?

Trẻ em thích loại sách nào?

[POINT]Point

Children often like picture books, adventure stories and books with funny or imaginative characters.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Young readers usually respond well to clear plots, colourful illustrations and situations they can understand.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A child may enjoy a story about animals going on an adventure because it combines humour with an easy-to-follow journey.

[EXTEND]Extend

The strongest books help children get lost in a book, so enjoyment is often more important than whether the story is educational in an obvious way.

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

What should parents do to encourage their children to read books?

Cha mẹ nên làm gì để khuyến khích con cái đọc sách?

[POINT]Point

Parents can encourage reading by making books visible, enjoyable and part of everyday family life.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A strong reading culture grows when parents read aloud, offer suitable book choices and create a regular reading routine.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Ten quiet minutes together before bed can make books feel comforting rather than like homework.

[EXTEND]Extend

Parents should also let children follow their interests, because forcing difficult or boring books may reduce motivation instead of building a lasting habit.
