Topic: Swimming
1. Did you learn to swim when you were a child? [Why/Why not?]
Yes, I did. My father signed me up for swimming lessons at a local sports center when I was still a 6-year-old boy. Actually, I was never terrified of water, I’ve always had a vast natural affinity for it.
2. How often do you go swimming now? [Why/Why not?]
I swim a few times a week. Fortunately, the nearest swimming pool is just a 5-minute walk from my apartment. It’s one of the few activities that make my mind rest.
3. What places are there for swimming where you live? [Why?]
Well, we’re really lucky here in Ho Chi Minh City. We have a lot of sports centers. All have well-equipped pools. Membership varies from about $10 to $20 for an adult.
4. Do you think it would be more enjoyable to go swimming outdoors or at an indoor pool? [Why?]
I do still prefer an indoor pool for several reasons. First, when swimming outdoors, I have to swim early or late in the day to avoid UV rays. Also, outdoor pools are more likely to be closed just when I have already scheduled my swim due to bad weather.

PART 3
1. What are the advantages of teamwork in workplaces?
Answer:
Teamwork in workplaces offers several benefits. Firstly, it allows people to share ideas and distribute tasks based on individual strengths, which boosts productivity. Secondly, it fosters a collaborative environment where employees can support each other and solve problems more effectively. Finally, working in a team can improve motivation and job satisfaction, as people feel more connected and involved.
2. Do you think leadership is important in a team? Why?
Answer:
Yes, leadership is essential in any team. A good leader provides direction, resolves conflicts, and ensures that everyone stays focused on common goals. Without effective leadership, teams can become disorganized or lack accountability. Moreover, a leader inspires and motivates team members to give their best effort.
3. Can teamwork skills be taught at school?
Answer:
Absolutely. Schools can play a crucial role in developing teamwork skills through group projects, sports, and extracurricular activities. These settings teach students how to communicate, manage conflicts, and take responsibility—skills that are highly valuable in both academic and professional life.
4. How has technology changed the way people work in teams?
Answer:
Technology has revolutionized teamwork by making communication faster and more flexible. Tools like video conferencing, instant messaging, and cloud-based collaboration platforms allow team members to work together from different locations. It has also increased transparency and made task management more efficient. However, it can reduce face-to-face interaction, which may affect team bonding.
