1.How often do you ride a bicycle?
" Honestly speaking,I rarely ride a bicycle now, almost never
since(/sins/) high school. I used to ride a bicycle frequently (phri
quent ly) [ˈfri.kwənt.li ] when I was in secondary (se cần đe rì)
school. However, in high school, I started (sờ to địt đ) using a
motorbike or being driven to school by others(o thợt sì), so I
became lazy to ride a bicycle."
2.How popular is a bicycle in your hometown? Why?
"Well, I would say bicycles are not common (com mền) in my
hometown (hôm thao ồm). Almost everyone uses a motorbike
because people are always in a hurry to get somewhere, and
riding a bike doesn’t meet that the need for speed. Most people
ride bicycles only for exercise to improve their health."
3.How do you usually get to work/school?
"Like most college (co lịt d3) students i go to school by
motorbike. However I'm lucky to have a friend who can give me
a ride to school on their motorbike regularly (re gyuh l’r lee)( re
giu lờ li) because I'm lazy and I have myopia( mai ô pi ờ), so
riding a motorbike is sightly difficult for me.
4.How often do you take a taxi?
Actually, taxis [ˈtæks.i ] has never been my favorite[ˈfeɪ.və.rɪt ]
choice for getting(ge đing) around the city unlessˌ[ʌnˈlɛs ] it is for
travel . Besides being the most costly (cót sờ ly) transport, if I
need to go somewhere (sâm we r) [ˈsʌmˌwɛr ] within the city, I can
use a motorbike or if I go far away, like to my hometown, I can
take the bus or a coach (câu chờ) [koʊtʃ ]. In fact, it would save
[seɪv ] money [ˈmʌ.ni ] as well as time [taɪm ] to get a mortocycle
taxi [ˈtæks.i ], or “xe om”, in case [keɪs ] I can’t use my own
vehicle(vi I cồ) [ˈvi.ə.kəl ].
5.What kind of transportation do most people use? And Why
I think [θɪŋk ] not [nɑt ] only in my city but also (o sầu) throughout
[θruˈaʊt ] ( throo owt)( đưa lưỡi ra trc thụt lại th) Vietnam,
people use motorbikes as the most popular means of
transportation. Motorbikes are more affordable [əˈfɔr.də.bəl ]
uh·for·duh·bl than [ðæn ] (den..ngậm lưỡi chữ d) cars [kɑrs ], making
them [ðɛm ] ( dâm ngậm lưỡi d) much [mʌtʃ ]( mớt chờ) more [mɔr ]
accessible [ækˈsɛ.sə.bəl ]( ạc sét si bồ). Additionally [əˈdɪ.ʃə.nə.li ]
uh·di·shuh·nuh·lee, Vietnam's geography jee·aa·gruh·fee, with its
narrow [ˈnɛ.roʊ ](ne rầu) streets [strits ], makes motorbikes more
practical [ˈpræk.tɪ.kəl ]. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining a
motorbike is lower (lâu quờ) than a car.
6. How much time do you usually take you to get work and how
far do you travel to and from work each day?
The distance from my boarding house [haʊs ] to school is about 1
kilometers. It's a short distance and convenient, and my
motorbike commute (cân miut) usually takes me about 5
minutes."My place is conveniently ( cần vi ni ần ly) located,
close to both the school and the market, so I don't have to spend
much time commuting."
7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of driving a car.
Driving a car offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides
convenience and flexibility, Cars also offer privacy [ˈpraɪ.və.si ]
and comfort(câm phợt), Additionally, cars can be a time-saving
mode (mowd) of transportation, especially [ɪˈspɛ.ʃə.li ] for long-
distance travel. However, there are also disadvantages to driving
a car. The most significant is the cost associated with owning
and maintaining a car. Moreover, cars contribute to air pollution
and traffic congestion.
