CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU CÁC CHỦ ĐỀ VSTEP SPEAKING HAY GẶP FOOD:
1. What kinds of food do you particularly like?
I’d have to say Asian cuisine is my favorite. I am a huge fan of the bold
flavors and spices used in Korean and Vietnamese dishes. Something I
often daydream about eating is X, which is a tip-smacking noodle soup dish
served with a crab broth. It’s every bit as delicious as it sounds. •
Bold flavor (phrase): strong flavor •
Tip-smacking (adj): delicious •
Broth (noun): soup consisting of meat or vegetable chunks
2. Is there any food you don’t like?
It’s true that there are a few things that kind of put me off. For example, I cannot
stand Y, which is essentially a shrimp paste. A lot of people like it, though, but I
think it smells awful. Definitely not my cup of tea. •
Put someone off (phrase): cause someone to lose interest or enthusiasm •
Not my cup of tea (idiom): not what one likes or is interested in
3. What kinds of food are most popular in your country?
I think street food is a staple around here. You can find bustling food stalls all
around our nation, and they are my go-tos for a cheap and cheerful meal. I
mean gourmet restaurants are nice and all, but street food is what our country is all about. •
Staple (noun): an important product, especially a food, that people eat or use regularly •
Bustling (adj): a bustling place is full of noise and activity and is usually pleasant and interesting •
Gourmet restaurant (phrase): describe a class of restaurant, cuisine, meal
or ingredient of high quality, of special presentation, or high sophistication 1

4. Do you like cooking? (Why?/ Why not?)
Actually, I’d like to think that cooking is my forte. I developed a passion
for culinary arts when I first watched the cooking show Masterchef. Since then, I
have learnt a lot of recipes and I can easily whip up a good dinner. •
Whip up (phrasal verb): prepare something to eat very quickly •
Forte (noun): something that someone is very good at or knows a lot about Tip for Speaking:
Use relative clauses to make your sentence longer, for example:
– I cannot stand Y, which is essentially a shrimp paste
– Something I often daydream about eating is X, which is a tip-smacking noodle
soup dish served with a crab broth. HOLIDAY
1. What do you do in your holidays?
Sometimes I travel to broaden my horizons, to admire the beauty of nature and
to plunge myself into the picturesque landscape in other regions in my
country. Every now and then, I just stay at home with my family and have a
little get-together to celebrate the holidays. Vocabulary:
Broaden/widen/expand one’s horizon (phrase) to make you see a wider range of
opportunities and choices | expand one’s range of interests, activities, and knowledge.

It depends on what kind of holiday it is. If it’s Christmas vacation, I prefer to hang

holiday, I just want to celebrate the holiday with my family and relatives in a cozy ambience. Vocabulary:
Here and there (idiom) in various places
Chit chat (noun) inconsequential conversation; gossip
3. Do you prefer travelling alone or in a group?
I would say that I’m kind of an introvert so I would rather travel alone to some
tranquil and peaceful beauty spots than travel with a group of people during the holiday.
Kind of (phrase) used when you are talking about someone or something in a
general way without being very exact or definite.
Introvert (noun) someone who tends to concentrate on their own thoughts and
feelings rather than communicating with other people.

A holiday is a perfect time for recharging my batteries after a year full of
challenges and obstacles, having some me time and planning for the upcoming year. Vocabulary:

Me time (noun) Time spent relaxing on one’s own as opposed to working or doing
