I TRANSPORT (Giao thông)

Part 1

What are the main means of transport in Vietnam? (Những phương tiện giao thông chủ yếu ở Việt Nam là gì?)

(Answer) There are quite a few means of transport in Vietnam, but

motorbikes are taking the lead (Reason) People prefer to travel by

motorbike because it is more economical and the most important

thing is that when it comes to traffic congestion, it takes ages for

car to move on the road but it is much easier for a motorbike

Describe a time you travelled by public transport (Mô tả một thời gian khi bạn di chuyển bằng phương tiện công cộng)

(Answer) Well, today I would like to tell you about an MRT journey in

Singapore that I took several years ago

Actually, I was a junior in Hanoi University when I took my summer vacation

there After a month of planning, I decided to embark on the journey alone.

(Reason) I already knew that car rent in Singapore would be prohibitively

expensive to a student like me, so I chose MRT to travel around the city,

which was both fast and economical (Example) I boarded a train at Lavender

station which headed towards Marina Bays station Luckily, I managed to

find a seat before it was filled up The trains here were notoriously

jam-packed in rush hours.

To my surprise, it was so silent on the train, everyone tried to keep their voice

low so that they wouldn’t bother others, and I have to say that was a strange

thing when compared to buses in some countries Moreover, the train went

unbelievably fast, so it took me just about 15 minutes to arrive at my

destination I felt that such a long distance was made shorter thanks to this

means of transport That was my first time I went on a public transport and I

hope that there will be more modern underground systems that are built in our

country in the near future

Part 3

How do you think people will travel in the future? (Bạn nghĩ trong tương lai, con người sẽ di chuyển bằng gì?)

(Answer) Well I think, electric mini-bus will be the prevalent

means of transport in the future (Reason) One reason could be

that it still carries the same number of passengers but being

small and agile to get its way out of a traffic jam (Example) In

addition, carpooling may be a good idea (Reason) as people can

not only save a great amount of money spent on fuel for their

private car but they also help protect the environment Many

people travel in the same car means there will be less emission

and less traffic jam and this may be a dominant way of

transporting in the future

tried street food such as Nem lui, Banh xeo or avocado ice cream…

which are local specialties and it would be a miss not to try them In
