2. Câu hỏi & Câu trả lời mẫu (Q&A Examples)
Q1: How often do you make phone calls?
High Band I make phone calls once every few days or so. When I am out and about, I will only make a phone call if I need something done urgently. I use other methods of communication more often, though, such as texting or video calls.
Q2: What do you talk about on a call?
High Band Often, I will call my family or friends to talk about an issue that is time sensitive. For example, when I am uncertain about how to answer a question in my assignment that’s due soon, I will call my friend to discuss the solution together.
Q3: Who do you call the most?
High Band I call my friends the most and these calls are usually to discuss our schoolwork and assignments. Sometimes, we choose to do a study session together over a call where we would talk about important key points and facts to memorize for the exams.
Q4: Do you prefer sending text messages or making calls?
High Band I think this depends on the situation. Usually, I would prefer texting as it is convenient and the person can choose to reply at their own pace and time, especially if they are occupied with something else. However, if I wish to discuss an urgent matter, I will call the person to get an immediate response.
