II. Sample Answers
Q1. Did you learn how to sing when you were a child?
- If yes: “Yes, I did! I joined my school’s music club when I was around 8 or 9. We used to practice songs for small performances during school events. It was super fun and gave me a great way to express myself and feel cheerful.”
- If no: “Actually, not really. I didn’t receive any formal singing lessons when I was young. I just sang for fun at home or with friends. But looking back, I think joining a music club would have been a great creative outlet.”
Q2. Do you think singing can make people happy? Why or why not?
- If yes: “Absolutely! Singing is such a great way to lift your mood. Even when you’re not a good singer, just humming or singing along to your favorite songs can make you feel cheerful and less stressed. It really helps me unwind after a long day.”
- If no: “Well, I guess it depends. For some people, singing might not be their thing, especially if they’re shy or uncomfortable performing. But in general, I’d say singing does bring happiness to most people.”
Q3. In your country, do people often go to places to listen to live singing or music? Where?
- If yes: “Yes, definitely. In Vietnam, people love karaoke, so karaoke bars are super popular. Besides that, in bigger cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, you can also find live music cafés where local singers perform. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy music.”
- If no: “Not really in smaller towns. We don’t have many places for live music around here. People mostly listen to music at home or go out for karaoke with friends. I hope we’ll have more live music spots in the future.”
Q4. Would you like to become a singer in the future?
- If yes: “Actually, yeah, I’ve thought about it! I know it’s not an easy path, but being a professional singer sounds exciting. I’d love to perform live and share emotions through music — though I’d have to get over my stage fright first!”
- If no: “Not really. I enjoy singing for fun, but I don’t think I have what it takes to be a professional singer. I get nervous in front of crowds, and I’d rather keep singing as a hobby.”
