TOPIC 11 – YOUR FAVORITE ROOM
Christopher (English US)
Jenny (English US)
- What is your favorite room?
It’s definitely my bedroom, as it’s quite spacious, nice, and private. So I can do anything I want without bothering anyone.
- Where can you easily walk from your home?
As I just mentioned before, Because I live in the center of HCM City, it’s convenient and easy to visit places like hospitals, supermarkets, cinemas, and parks. They are just within walking distance, maybe just 1 km from my apartment.
- Have you renovated any part of your room over the past year?
Actually, no, because I rent it, and it’s completely furnished, spacious, and bright. So I’m really pleased about it and leave it intact /ɪnˈtækt/.
- Do you recycle your trash? /ˈrʌbɪʃ/ Why or why not?
Absolutely. We recycle as much as possible. I make sure to separate my plastics, paper, metal, and glass into different containers for the recycling truck to take away. It’s really important to protect our environment and preserve our mother nature as well.
- If you could renovate any part of your home in the future, what would it be?
This is an interesting question. I’ve never thought about it. I’m extremely happy with my apartment now. But if I could, I would renovate my balcony a little, but by adding some space out there so that we can enjoy it year-round and have guests over for barbecues /ˈbɑːrbɪkjuː/.
