Sample Answer:
I’d like to talk about kites, children’s favorite toys which are very popular in my country.
I still remember when I was 7, I went back to my hometown and spent the summer with my grandparents. Every afternoon, when the wind tenderly blew, other kids in the neighborhood ran to the field near my grandparents’ house and flew colorful objects to the sky, which are called “kites”. Kites have many different shapes and colors, which is the reason why they attract children. One day, I was so curious that I decided to join them and immersed myself into the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside while flying the kite which I pestered my grandma to buy for me.
As I grew older, I noticed that children are no longer interested in flying kites because they are more into technology devices. However, the International Kite Festival, which is held annually in Vung Tau to promote unique and diverse kites, still attracts many local and foreign tourists. Nowadays, people make more sophisticated kites in the shape of phoenixes, butterflies and even dragons. They also replace thick bamboo strings with thinner ones or plastic ropes. Unlike the traditional ones, modern kites are light and cost little since the materials to make them are available everywhere.
All in all, kites are easy to make and are often seen flying high in the sky during summertime.

- Why are some locally made products very expensive? /Do you think they’re worth that price?
It is common that traditional or local crafts are usually costly because, you know, buyers are not only paying for skilled labour but also for local raw materials. Besides, most local crafts are unique so they are definitely worth spending money on.
- Do you think machines will replace humans in future production? Will it be a good or bad thing?
As a matter of fact, they have already, but not entirely. I think machines stepping into production is a huge advancement since the advent of technology would contribute greatly to mass production, which has a direct effect on economic growth.
