Part 1: Interview

1.1 Archievers
1. What kind of art do you like?
If I had to choose, I would choose music. I’m mad about various types of music
such as us-uk, pop or even rock because each of them will give me specific
emotion. Us-uk will give me relaxation but rock will keep me energetic and strong.
2. What kind of pictures do you like having at home?
To be honest, I enjoy having family portraits, travel photos, artwork, and natural
scenery. They will bring me memorable moments, relaxation and especially make
my home beautiful.
3. Do you like drawing and painting? Why (not)?
Honestly, I am not a artistic person which mean I am not capable of drawing well.
Furthermore, I need a lot of time just to make a painting and it is usually a mess.
Therefore, painting is not really my cup of tea.
4. Do you like visiting art galleries? Why (not)?
To be honest, I have a soft spot for art galleries. Firstly, it can give me historical
and artistic knowledge. Furthermore, I find admiring paitings relaxing and
inspiring.
Therefore, I always go to the art gallery once a month to have a rest.
5. Have you ever read or heard any ghost stories?
Honestly, I’m so scared of ghosts or horrific things that I can’t stand hearing them.
Therefore, I think it is good not to read or hear any ghost stories so that it won’t
affect my sleep quality.
6. Do you believe that ghosts exist? Why (not)?
If I were asked, I would say that I didn’t believe in ghosts. Firstly, people can make
up stories about ghosts so that it can not be true. Furthermore, I have never seen a
ghost in my life. In my opinion, ghosts are fictional.
7. Who do you like shopping with?
I usually go shopping with my mom at the market and watch her buying groceries
so I know that my mom can bargain and get discounts. Furthermore, she is capable
of knowing how to spend money well or make it worth. In conclusion, going
shopping with my mom can save both money and time.
8. How often do you go shopping?
To be honest, I’m not mad about shopping so I don’t go very often. If there’s a
special occasion coming up like my birthday or New Year I’ll head out to the
shopping mall and buy myself and my friends or family presents such as clothes
and books. But in general, I’m not a big shopper.
9. Do you prefer shopping online or going to the store? Why?
Honestly, each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. Shopping online
will save my time but usually cost more because of delivery fee. But I would prefer
to go to the store because I can touch, see the product so that I can make better
decisions. In conclusion, going to the store is more beneficial than shopping online.
10. What do you usually buy when you go shopping?
Most of the time, I only buy necessities such as school supplies, food and
sometimes clothes. I don’t want to get in financial problems because of making too
much purchase. That’s why I only go shopping for only once or twice a month and
I am trying to save money as much as possible.

Solubility is the measure of the amount of a solute that will dissolve in a solvent.
Evaporation is the process in which a liquid turns into a gas.
Parallel circuit is a type of circuit in which an electric charge can flow along two or
more paths.
Conduction is the transfer of heat that occurs through the movement of matter.
2. Name 3 materials with low solubility in water.
Sand, Oil, and Pepper are three materials that have low solubility in water.
3. What can we do to save energy? What is phantom energy?
To save energy, we can start by simply change daily habits, such as turning off
lights and electronics when they're not in use. Additionally, considering using
public transportation, biking to cut down on fuel use. Lastly, raising awareness and
educating others about the importance of energy conservation. Phantom energy is

Topic card 1
Describe a building that you like
As far as I am concerned, Lotte Tower in Hanoi is the city's second tallest
building, having a shape that pretty much resembles the curves of ao dai. It is
located in 54th Liễu Giai street, Ba Đình district.
This building is used for shopping, dining, and entertainment with many
great stores, famous restaurants, interesting bookstores or even a cool play ground
for children. Each of them provides a variety of activities to do such as reading,
playing or shopping.
If you want something more, you should try visit the 65th floor observation
deck to see the whole city. The whole floor is made out of glass so it can be a bit
scary and frightening for those who are scared of heights. However, you will get
memorable experiences and moments with your family and friends.
It is my favourite building because they're convenient and offer a wide range
of options all in one place. Plus, everything is easily accessible. In conclusion, it's
enjoyable to explore different stores and spend time with friends and family in a
lively environment.
Topic card 2
Describe your favourite shop.
As for me, Kim Đồng book store is my favorite shop which is a welcoming
haven for book enthusiasts. It is located in 69 Văn Cao street, Ba Đình district.
At first glance, this looks small and or even cute. Most of the walls are made
of concrete and stone but the bright wooden floors really do justice to the good
appearance of this building. The mix of concrete walls and wooden floors gives it a
cozy feel. Inside, you'll find aisles packed with books of all kinds, from fantasy to
novels, and even school supplies sometimes. It's not just a place to shop; it's a
welcoming space where you can get lost in stories and find something new every
time you visit.
 I appreciate Kim Đồng book store for several reasons. Firstly, its cozy
atmosphere makes me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed whenever I visit.
Secondly, I love the wide variety of books available. Moreover, the location is
convenient for me, making it easy to stop by whenever I have some free time.
Topic card 3
Describe a piece of art you like
"Little Thuy" is a painting by Tran Van Can, a renowned artist from
Vietnam. I saw it a few months ago at the Vietnam National Fine Arts gallery. The
portrait showcases Tran Van Can's eight-year-old granddaughter. She has big,
round black eyes, plump lips, and chubby cheeks. She is sitting on a chair with her
hands clasped and looking directly at the viewer. I like it because the girl's
expression really reflects Vietnamese society before the August Revolution. The
colors are harmonious, adding to the beauty of the paintin. What truly impressed
me is the background information surrounding the painting, enriching my
appreciation for its significance. Knowing that it portrays the artist's own
granddaughter adds a personal touch, making the connection between art and life
even sadder. It has been a few months, yet I still remember every single detail of
this masterpiece. Hopefully, I can arrange my time to go back to the museum to
admire its beauty in person.
