Do you think the free-time activities children do today are good for their health?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng các hoạt động giải trí mà trẻ em tham gia ngày nay có tốt cho sức khỏe của chúng không?

[POINT]Point

Some children's leisure activities are healthy, while others can become unhealthy if overused.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Sports and outdoor play provide clear health benefits, but long screen time can create sedentary habits.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, gaming for an hour may be harmless, but sitting for most of the afternoon every day reduces physical activity.

[EXTEND]Extend

The key issue is balance rather than banning digital entertainment completely.

How do you think children’s activities will change in the future?

Bạn nghĩ các hoạt động của trẻ em sẽ thay đổi như thế nào trong tương lai?

[POINT]Point

Children's activities will probably become more technology-based but also more interactive.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Digital games may blend with physical movement, personalised learning and mixed-reality activities.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, children could use wearable devices for outdoor challenges or learn science through augmented-reality games.

[EXTEND]Extend

Future leisure may become more personalised, although parents and schools will still need to protect time for real-world social and physical activity.

Part 3Topic 5 - Family & RelationshipsEasy-Intermediate

What are the benefits of younger and older generations living together?

Việc các thế hệ trẻ và thế hệ lớn tuổi cùng chung sống mang lại những lợi ích gì?

[POINT]Point

Younger and older generations can benefit greatly from living together.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Older relatives may provide childcare help and experience, while younger adults can offer practical support and share expenses.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Grandparents may look after children while adult children help with transport or appointments.

[EXTEND]Extend

Intergenerational support is a two-way street, so the arrangement works best when both sides contribute rather than one generation carrying all the responsibility.

Part 3Topic 5 - Family & RelationshipsEasy-Intermediate

In a typical family, who plays the leading role?

Trong một gia đình điển hình, ai đóng vai trò chủ đạo?

[POINT]Point

In many modern families, there is no single permanent leader.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Family leadership is often shared depending on the decision, income and household roles.

[EXAMPLE]Example

One parent may manage finances while the other handles education or daily organisation.

[EXTEND]Extend

Shared decisions can be healthier because they use different strengths and reduce the idea that authority must belong to one person.

In your country, what kinds of family members usually live together?

Ở nước bạn, những thành viên gia đình nào thường sống chung với nhau?

[POINT]Point

The most common household composition is usually parents and children, but extended families also live together.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

In some homes, grandparents join a nuclear family, especially when childcare, housing cost or elderly support matters.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A multi-generational home may include grandparents, parents and school-age children.

[EXTEND]Extend

The exact pattern varies between cities and rural areas, but both nuclear and extended family arrangements remain common.
