2. Câu hỏi & Câu trả lời mẫu (Q&A Examples)

Q1: Do you prefer using a bottle or cup?

High Band It depends on the circumstance. Normally, I would prefer using a bottle rather than a cup because it is a lot more convenient to bring around. However, I enjoy sipping a steaming hot drink of coffee from a cup when I am at home.

Q2: When do you use a bottle or cup?

High Band I would use a bottle when I am going out to school or work. Even when I’m home, I would use a bottle because I can’t be bothered with refilling the cup throughout the day. When I am drinking hot drinks like coffee or tea, I would use a cup instead.

Q3: Do you carry a bottle with you when you go to class or work?

High Band Yes, I will bring a bottle along in my bag whenever I have classes or work. Occasionally, I would bring a mini-sized water bottle with me when I go out to the shopping mall, cinema, or to the gym. This bottle is small enough to slip into my handbag, which makes it the perfect travel buddy.

Q4: What drinks do you serve in a cup?

High Band Usually, I would serve hot drinks, such as coffee or tea in a cup. Sometimes, when I have guests over for a visit, I would serve them cold drinks such as iced lemon tea, soda, or blended fruit juice in a cup as well.
