2. Một số câu trả lời mẫu và từ vựng hay

What do you do in your spare time?

I have always been a music lover, so whenever I have free time, I just put on my earphones and enjoy my favorite tunes. To me, music provides an escape from the busy life as it is both relaxing and therapeutic.

How do you usually spend your weekends?

For the longest time, my weekends have been no different from my weekdays. I mean, I'm always overwhelmed with tons of meetings and deadlines, so it leaves no room for relaxation, you know. I suppose on weekends, besides dealing with some unfinished business at work, my friends and I sometimes gather for a cozy get-together in a nice restaurant.

What do you usually do after work or classes?

I'm a diehard fan of bubble milk tea, so whenever working hours are over, I just go straight to a milk tea store, ordering my favorite drink and go home to enjoy it. Sometimes, when I feel flush, I even splurge on Starbucks coffee. It's not a very healthy eating habit, I know, but it's the only time of the day when I'm completely free from my duties, so I don't deny myself anything.

Do you prefer to spend your free time alone or with other people?

I think it has to depend on the situation as well. When it comes to some spare time after work, I'd rather just stay at home and lounge about. But on other occasions, I believe that hanging out with a group of friends can be a great fun. You know, the more the merrier.

Vocabulary cần dùng:

Provide an escape /prəˈvʌɪd an ɪˈskeɪp/ tạo một lối thoát

Therapeutic /ˌθɛrəˈpjuːtɪk/ mang tính thư giãn, mang tính trị liệu

Leave no room /liːv nəʊ ruːm/ không còn thừa

Get-together /ɡɛt təˈɡɛðə/ cuộc sum họp, cuộc tụ tập

Feel flush /fiːl flʌʃ/ cảm thấy dư dả

Splurge on /spləːdʒ ɒn/ tiêu tiền nhiều vào cái gì

Lounge about /laʊn(d)ʒ əˈbaʊt/ nghỉ ngơi, thư giãn

Hang out /haŋ aʊt/ đi ra ngoài chơi

The more the merrier /ðə mɔː ðə ˈmɛri əː/ càng đông càng vui

Do you prefer going out or staying at home?

I'm not really an outgoing person, so whenever I have spare time I just stay at home and chill. Most of the time I just sit in front of the box, ordering some takeaways and enjoying myself. I would say that I'm quite a bit of a couch potato, to be honest.

What will do if you go out?

If I have to go out, I would definitely call my best friend up and ask her to go somewhere with me, like the movies for example. When we feel flush, we might treat ourselves to a spa day to release all the stress from our enormous schoolwork.

When you go out for an evening, what do you like to do?

I think for most girls, dressing up is an essential part before a night out, and I'm no exception. I take a keen interest in fashion, so it feels like my responsibility to choose the most appropriate outfit. I also love makeup, that's why I can never go out without putting on my lipstick.

Do you prefer going out on your own or with friends?

I can't even imagine what it feels like to go out alone, you know. Of course hanging out in the company of your friends is way much better. Having your gang besides you is like an enormous confidence boost. That's why they have the saying "The more the merrier".

What do you like to do in your free time?

I do quite a lot of sport actually. I play football mostly - on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoon with a local team. I also play tennis and squash when I can but I don't really get the time to do them as well every week. I work quite hard at the moment, so I don't get a lot of free time unfortunately.

Have your leisure activities changed since you were a child?

Not a great deal actually. I used to love playing football when I was young as well - I played a lot at school. Though of course I did all the other things kids loved to do such as going out on bike rides after school and things.

Do you prefer to spend your free time alone or with other people?

It depends on my mood really. I think most people need some time on their own. Sometimes my work is quite stressful and I spend a lot of time there with others, so it's good to just get home and relax and read a book or something. But I get bored if I am alone too much so I like to go out and meet friends in the evening or play football.
