Câu hỏi thường gặp + Model Answers
Q1: How often do you use your phone?

Q3: Do you think technology is good for society?
Well, I think it’s a double-edged sword, to be honest. On the one hand, technology has brought incredible benefits — better healthcare, faster communication, access to information. On the other hand, it can lead to problems like addiction and privacy concerns. So I’d say the key is finding the right balance.

Q4: Is there any technology you don’t like using?
I’m not a huge fan of smartwatches, actually. I know they’re popular, but I find them a bit distracting — I don’t need constant notifications on my wrist. I prefer keeping things simple with a regular watch. Maybe I’m a bit old-fashioned in that way!
📝 Phân tích:

To be honest, I’m not the type of person who makes friends easily. I tend to be a bit shy at first. But once I find common interests with someone, I open up quite quickly. I’ve also made some friends through hobbies — for example, I met some great people at a photography class last year.
