Book
How often do you read books?
I read books quite often, especially foreign books because it helps me 
enhance my 
language skills
like English or Chinese.
Do Vietnamese people like to read?
I don’t think reading is a popular hobby in my country. As far as I can tell, Vietnamese 
prefer something more exciting like videos or films. Reading is a bit 
tedious
to many 
people. 
What kinds of people like reading and what kinds of people like do not like reading?
Well, that’s an interesting question. I suppose 
middle-aged
people or the elderly enjoy 
reading because they find 
life lessons
from books really valuable and 
fascinating
. 
However, teenagers are often attracted by other kinds of entertainment rather than 
reading.

Movie 
Do you like movie?
I must say I’m a true 
film fanatic
. My favorite genre is superhero movies, especially 
those made by American movie producers. These movies help me enhance my English 
and expand my 
vocabulary bank
.
Do you prefer watching film at home or at the cinema?
I would rather watch films at the cinema because of better sound quality and
