Speaking Part

Q1: Can you tell me a bit about your family?

Well, I come from a nuclear family which is typical in my country. At present, there are four members in my family: my parents, my younger brother and myself. We are quite close-knit, and I absolutely love the cozy atmosphere when we gather around the dinner table every evening.

• Nuclear family → Gia đình hạt nhân

• Close-knit → Gắn bó chặt chẽ

• Cozy atmosphere → Không khí ấm cúng

Q2: What do you and your family do together?

We often spend our leisure time doing a variety of activities. Mostly, we are inclined to stay at home watching movies or playing board games. However, once in a while, we go for a picnic or have a short trip to some tourist attractions in our city.

• Leisure time → Thời gian rảnh rỗi

• Inclined to → Có khuynh hướng, thích thú với

• Once in a while → Thỉnh thoảng

Q3: Who are you most close to in your family?

I would say I'm particularly close to my mother. We share a lot in common and she is my go-to person whenever I'm in need of advice or just want to have a heart-to-heart talk.

• Share a lot in common → Có nhiều điểm chung

• Go-to person → Người mà ta thường tìm đến

• Heart-to-heart talk → Cuộc trò chuyện chân tình
