Describe a sport event that you would

like to attend as part of the audience.

>> I'd like to talk about a tennis match

that I'd really love to attend as part

of the audience. Recently, I've started

playing tennis with my friends at a park

near my apartment to improve my health

and reduce stress after studying IELTS

for long hours. At first, I just played

for fun, but after a few weeks, I found

myself really enjoying it and wanting to

learn more. Since then, I've often

watched tennis matches online on Tik Tok

or YouTube to see how professional

players move and play. There are

techniques, strong serves, and quick

reactions always impress me. However,

I've never had the chance to watch a

real match in person. That's why I hope

to attend a city level tennis tournament

one day where professional players

compete. If I could, I'd like to go with

my close friends who also play tennis. I

think it would be exciting to sit in the

audience, cheer for the players, and

feel the energy of the match. I want to

be part of the audience because watching

a live game would be more inspiring than

seeing it online. I could learn from the

players techniques and feel the real

atmosphere of competition. I believe it

would motivate me to practice harder and

enjoy tennis even more.

>> What kind of sports do young people

like?

Young people often enjoy fast and

energetic sports like football,

basketball, and badminton. Many also go

to the gym, do yoga, or joy jogging

groups to stay fit. In big cities, some

young people are interested in new

activities like skateboarding, climbing,

or cycling because they're fun and

social.

>> What kind of people do extreme sports?

>> Extreme sports are usually done by

people who love adventure and want to

challenge themselves. They're often

confident, brave, and enjoy taking

risks. Many of them do it for excitement

or to escape daily routines like

skydiving, surfing, or mountain biking.

>> Why are some people willing to try

dangerous extreme sports?

>> Some people are willing to try extreme

sports because they enjoy the thrill and

adrenaline. It gives them a sense of

freedom and achievement. For example,

climbing a mountain or skydiving can

make people feel proud of overcoming

fear and testing their limits.

Should people take more into account the

risks that extreme sports may bring?

>> Yes, people should always consider the

risks before doing extreme sports.

Safety equipment and training are very

important to avoid accidents. Even

though it's exciting, being careless can

lead to serious injuries. So,

preparation and caution are necessary.

>> Why do people keep inventing new and

slightly dangerous sports? People keep

inventing new and risky sports because

they want new experiences and

challenges. As traditional sports become

too common, some look for activities

that are more exciting or unique. It's

also part of human nature to explore

limits and find creative ways to stay

active.

>> What risks are there in extreme sports

and who takes these consequences?

>> Extreme sports carry risks like

injuries, accidents or even death.

Participants themselves take

responsibility for these consequences

because they choose to do the sport.

That's why professional training, proper

gear, and safety measures are always

essential before trying such activities.

>> What kinds of sports events are

broadcast on TV or other media in your

country?

>> In my country, sports events like

football, badminton, and volleyball are

the most commonly broadcast on TV and

online platforms. International

tournaments such as the World Cup or Ca

Games are especially popular. Many

people also watch tennis or esports

matches through YouTube or Facebook live

streams.

>> Do people in your country enjoy watching

football games?

>> Yes, people in Vietnam are crazy about

football. Whenever the national team

plays, especially in big tournaments,

streets and cafes are full of fans

wearing red shirts and waving flags.

It's not just about the game. It's also

about national pride and the joy of

watching together.

Do encouragement and applause from the

audience have an impact on athletes? How

do these affect them?

>> Yes, encouragement and applause have a

big impact on athletes. When the crowd

cheers, athletes feel more motivated and

confident, which helps them perform

better. It gives them energy and

emotional support, especially during

tough moments in a match. On the other

hand, negative reactions can make them

nervous or lose focus.

Which do people in your country prefer

to watch, team sports or individual

sports?

>> Most people in Vietnam prefer to watch

team sports like football or volleyball

because they're more exciting and

emotional. Teamwork and national spirit

make these games more enjoyable to watch

with friends or family. Individual

sports like tennis or babon are also

liked, but they don't create the same

big crowd atmosphere.

>> What kinds of sports are the most

popular in your country? Football is the

most popular sport in Vietnam, followed

by badminton and volleyball. Many people

also enjoy jogging or playing tennis and

parks. Recently, more young people have

started going to the gym or joining yoga

classes to stay fit and relieve stress.

>> Why do so many children like to watch

basketball games?

>> Many children like watching basketball

games because they are fast-paced and

exciting. The players move quickly,

score often, and show impressive skills

like dunking or passing. Children also

look up to famous players and dream of

being like them, which makes the sport

even more attractive to them.

>> Describe an outdoor sport you would like

to try for the first time.

>> I'd like to talk about tennis, an

outdoor sport that I'd really like to

try for the first time. I got interested

in it recently when I was feeling very

stressed from studying for the IELTS

every day. One night while scrolling

through social media, I came across a

video where someone shared how playing

tennis helped them reduce stress and

stay fit at the same time. That video

really caught my attention. If I have

the chance, I'd like to play tennis at

the park near my apartment because it

has several open courts and a calm,

green environment. I think playing there

in the early morning or late afternoon

would be perfect because the weather is

cooler and the air feels fresh. I'd love

to try it with my close friends who also

want to exercise more. It would be fun

to learn together, laugh at our

mistakes, and slowly improve our skills.

I believe it would also be a great way

to spend quality time outdoors after

long hours of studying. The main reason

I want to try tennis is that it seems of

a good balance between physical activity

and relaxation. It helps you move your

whole body, release stress, and focus

your mind at the same time. I think

learning this sport would not only make

me healthier, but also help me find more

joy and balance in my daily life.

What are the differences between indoor

sports and outdoor sports?

>> Indoor sports are usually played in

closed spaces like gyms or stadiums, so

they aren't affected by weather. They

often include activities like badminton,

basketball, or table tennis. Outdoor

sports, on the other hand, take place in

open areas such as parks or fields like

football or tennis, and they depend more

on good weather conditions.

>> What outdoor sports are popular in

Vietnam? In Vietnam, popular outdoor

sports include football, jogging,

cycling, and tennis. Many people also

enjoy badminton in open areas near their

homes. On weekends, it's common to see

families or groups of friends playing

sports together in parks or at school's

playgrounds.

>> What sports are popular among elderly

people?

>> Elderly people in Vietnam usually prefer

light sports such as walking, yoga, and

taichi. Some also enjoy badminton or

gentle stretching exercises in the park.

These activities help them stay healthy,

improve balance, and make new friends

without putting too much pressure on

their bodies.

>> Which outdoor sports are popular with

children?

>> Children in Vietnam love playing

football, badminton, and cycling. These

sports are easy to learn and fun to play

with friends. Many schools also organize

sports days or small competitions which

help children become more active and

enjoy exercising outdoors.

>> How does weather affect outdoor sports?

Weather has a big effect on outdoor

sports. When it's too hot or rainy,

people usually skip playing outside and

choose indoor activities instead. Good

weather, especially in the morning or

late afternoon, encourages more people

to go jogging or play football in parks.

>> Which is more dangerous, team sports or

individual sports?

>> Both can be dangerous, but team sports

are often riskier because they involve

more physical contact like tackling in

football or collisions in basketball.

Individual sports such as running or

swimming are usually safer, though

injuries can still happen if players

don't warm up properly or overtrain.
