Do you think that it is more valuable to read a book than to watch television?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng việc đọc một cuốn sách giá trị hơn là xem truyền hình không?

[POINT]Point

Reading can be more valuable than television for some purposes, especially study and deep concentration.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Deep reading requires active imagination and lets people control the pace, while visual entertainment gives information more directly.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a difficult history topic may be easier to analyse in a book where readers can stop and reread.

[EXTEND]Extend

Television is still useful for documentaries and visual explanations, so value depends on the learning purpose rather than the medium alone.

What kind of books are considered good reads in your opinion?

Theo ý kiến của bạn, những loại sách nào được coi là đáng đọc?

[POINT]Point

I consider a book a good read when it is well-written, engaging and gives me something useful to think about.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A strong book does not need to be difficult; it simply needs an engaging narrative or clear ideas.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a simple novel can be thought-provoking if its characters make readers question their own choices.

[EXTEND]Extend

For me, the best books have lasting value because I still remember their ideas or feelings after finishing them.

Do you regard famous writers as good role models?

Bạn có coi các nhà văn nổi tiếng là những hình mẫu tốt không?

[POINT]Point

Some famous writers can be good role models, but fame alone is not enough.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

People may look up to writers for discipline, creativity or courage, yet public reputation does not tell us everything about character.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a writer's commitment to their craft may inspire students even if their personal life was complicated.

[EXTEND]Extend

I would not put anyone on a pedestal; it is better to admire specific qualities than assume a talented writer is admirable in every area.

Do you think that people read nowadays as they did in the past?

Bạn có nghĩ ngày nay mọi người đọc sách giống như trong quá khứ không?

[POINT]Point

I think people still read a lot, but the form of reading has changed.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

In the past, printed books and newspapers dominated, while today people spend more time on short-form content, websites and messages.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, someone may read hundreds of words online without opening a book.

[EXTEND]Extend

Digital distraction may reduce long reading sessions, so reading frequency can remain high even while deep book reading becomes less common.

How our reading habit changes as we grow up?

Thói quen đọc sách của chúng ta thay đổi như thế nào khi chúng ta lớn lên?

[POINT]Point

Reading habits often change as people move through different stages of life.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

This reading lifecycle is shaped by available time, personal interests and changing responsibilities.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Children may read stories for pleasure, students read textbooks for study, and working adults may prefer news or practical books.

[EXTEND]Extend

Later in life, some people return to leisure reading when they have more free time, so reading purpose often changes more than reading itself.
