When do people share good news?

Mọi người thường chia sẻ tin vui vào lúc nào?

[POINT]Point

People usually share good news soon after an important event or when they meet people they care about.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Happy occasions and personal milestones naturally make people want to reach out to family and friends.

Someone may call their parents immediately after receiving a job offer or share graduation news during a family meal.

What programs do people in Vietnam like to watch?

Người dân Việt Nam thích xem những chương trình truyền hình nào?

[POINT]Point

In Vietnam, people enjoy a wide range of programmes, especially game shows, drama series, sports and reality shows.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These formats are easy to watch with family and offer either competition, emotion or relaxation.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A major football match can attract a huge audience, while a popular drama series may be discussed online after each episode.

[EXTEND]Extend

Younger viewers also spend more time on streaming platforms, so traditional television now competes with online video for attention.

Do people in Vietnam like to watch foreign TV programs?

Người dân Việt Nam có thích xem các chương trình truyền hình nước ngoài không?

[EXPLAIN]Explain

International content offers different stories, production styles and cultural appeal, while streaming access makes it easy to discover programmes from many countries.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Korean dramas, international talent shows and foreign films often attract large audiences.

[EXTEND]Extend

Local programmes remain important, but foreign content gives viewers more choice and can also introduce new ideas, languages and cultural trends.

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

Which one is better for children, watching animal videos or visiting the zoo?

Xem video về động vật hay đi thăm sở thú thì tốt hơn cho trẻ em?

[POINT]Point

Visiting a good zoo can be more memorable for children, while animal videos are better for variety and convenience.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Children can find out about many species online, but seeing a real animal provides a stronger sensory experience.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Watching a video can show whales or polar bears that a local zoo cannot provide, whereas a zoo lets children observe movement and behaviour directly.

[EXTEND]Extend

The real thing can be powerful, but the best learning probably combines responsible zoo visits with high-quality educational videos.

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

What are the values of using videos in teaching?

Việc sử dụng video trong giảng dạy mang lại những lợi ích gì?

[POINT]Point

Videos are valuable in teaching because they can show processes, places and examples that are difficult to explain with words alone.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Multimedia learning combines visual explanations with sound, which can improve learner engagement and understanding.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A science teacher can show a real-world experiment or an animation of the solar system instead of relying only on a textbook diagram.

[EXTEND]Extend

Videos work best when they are short and connected to a clear task, because passive watching by itself does not guarantee learning.
