Speaking Part 1

Q1: Do you enjoy spending time with your neighbors?

Absolutely, I thoroughly enjoy the company of my neighbors. We have a very close-knit community and often have gatherings or barbecues where we chat, share stories and sometimes discuss common issues. It’s a very harmonious atmosphere and I feel fortunate to have such friendly neighbors.

• Thoroughly enjoy → Thưởng thức, tận hưởng một cách trọn vẹn

• Close-knit community → Cộng đồng thân thiết, gắn kết

• Harmonious atmosphere → Không khí hòa thuận

Q2: How often do you meet your friends?

Due to my hectic work schedule, I don’t get to meet my friends as often as I’d like. However, I make it a point to catch up with them at least once a fortnight. These catch-ups are a great stress buster and I look forward to them.

• Hectic work schedule → Lịch làm việc bận rộn

• Make it a point → Coi như một quy tắc, luôn cố gắng làm gì

• Stress buster → Cách giải tỏa căng thẳng

Q3: Do you prefer spending time with your friends or your neighbors?

If I have to choose, I’d say I prefer spending time with my friends. Although I appreciate the camaraderie with my neighbors, my friends and I share more common interests and we’ve been through ups and downs together, which makes our bond stronger.

• Camaraderie → Tình bạn, tình đồng chí

• Common interests → Sở thích chung

• Ups and downs → Thăng trầm, biến cố trong cuộc sống
