QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR Mid-term TEST
Question 1: What qualities does a meeting need to be effective? (1 cuộc họp cần có
phẩm chất gì để đạt hiệu quả)
• Having a leader (có 1 nhà lãnh đạo)
• Having a stated purpose (có mục đích rõ ràng)
• Being shorter instead of longer (ngắn hơn thay vì dài hơn)
• Having an agendar (should be sent out 24 hours beforehand) (có 1 cuộc nghị sự: nên gửi trc 24h)
In my view, an effective meeting depends on different factors. First, an
effective meeting needs a leader who will handle the matters discussed in the
meeeting. Second, a meeting needs a stated purpose, it will help all participants
know and focus on the topic, avoid discussing other unrelated topics. Next,
when it comes to scheduling a meeting, it’s better to go short than long. This
forces the meeting’s participants to make wise decisions about how they spend
their time in the meeting. Finally, each meeting should have an agenda, created
by the meeting leader and sent out at least 24 hours beforehand. It’s possible
there’s just one agenda item for a meeting – that’s perfectly fine.
Question 2: What are key signs that make a great idea? (đâu là 1 chính kiến để tạo
ra 1 ý tưởng tuyệt vời)
• Solving a problem in life (giải quyết 1 vấn đề trong cuộc sống)
• Being scalable (có khả năng mở rộng)
• Being an attractive price (là 1 mức giá tốt nhất)
• Being a good profit (là 1 lợi nhuật tốt)
According to me, the first sign that it's a good idea is that it solves a problem
in life. Because solving a problem means delivering a solution that makes a
sizeable number of people's lives easier. After that, you can sell a good idea at an
attractive price because no matter how good the idea or how well it solves the lOMoAR cPSD| 46836766
problem, if the price isn't right, people won't buy. Next, you need to make sure
that an attractive price can give your idea a good profit because the main purpose
you start your idea is profit. Finally, a great idea is scalable.
Question 3: Why should we start and finish meetings on time? ( tsao phải bắt đầu và
kết thúc 1 cuộc họp đúng giờ)
• It fosters productivity.(nó thúc đẩy năng suất)
• It makes a good first impression.(nó tạo ấn tượng tốt đầu tiên)
• It shows the leader value attendee’s time.( cho thấy thời gian của người tham dự giá trị của người lãnh đạo)
I agree with you that we should start and finish meetings on time. We all have
activities planned during the day. When a meeting runs long, it cuts into the time
that we had intended to allocate to those future activities so starting and finishing
the meeting on time fosters productivity. Next, it makes a good first impresstion
so let’s not prolong the time that will create a bad impresstion. Finally, the leader’s
time is valuable, so is the time of the attendee’s time. Starting and stopping
meetings on time with the intention of respecting everyone’s time and efforts show
respect for everyone’s time.
Question 4: What do you think you should do to get ahead in your career? (bạn nghĩ

According to me, advancing in career is a long process of learning and
accumulating experience. Firstly, you can make more contacts to advance in
career but you should pay attention to build the right relationships and get rid of
the toxic ones. Secondly, you need to volunteer for the project that no one likes.
It makes a good impression on your boss. Thirdly, you should participate in a
professional association. It helps to enhance your reputation and professional skill.
In addition, you also need to study to improve your level in your free time. Finally,
you really need to find an experience person to give you help and advice when you get a trouble in career.
