1. What are some of the popular dishes in your country? Tell me about a particular dish. What is special about it? Please describe it in detail.

- In my country, there are many popular dishes like pho, bread, spring rolls, and grilled pork.
- But the dish I want to talk about is pho, because it’s one of the most famous Vietnamese foods. I think Pho is special because of some reasons.
- First, it’s cooked for many hours with beef bones, and many other spices, so the flavor is very rich and warm.
- Second, it is the perfect combination of noodles, beef or chicken, onions, and other healthy ingredients We often eat this dish with lime and vegetables. It provides us with healthy protein and fiber.
- And the final reason that it is affordable to most Vietnamese people. We can order a big bowl of Pho for less than 2 dollars.
- In summary, Pho is a dish that represents Vietnamese culture and is enjoyed by many people for breakfast or even late at night.

2. What do you eat on a regular day? Tell me everything that you eat in detail.

- On a regular day, I try to eat simple but balanced meals.
- In the morning, I usually have a light breakfast, like a bread or a bowl of noodles, and I always drink a cup of tee to wake myself up.
- For lunch, I often eat rice with vegetables and some kind of protein, like chicken, pork, or fish. I also try to include soup because it makes the meal feel complete.
- For dinner, I prefer something lighter, such as vegetables, boiled eggs, or something easy to digest. On weekends, I eat out with my family. We like to eat hot pot.
- I usually drink water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
- Overall, my daily meals are simple, healthy, and not too heavy.

3. Tell me about a memorable experience you had while eating something. It could have been something good or bad. What happened? Why was it so memorable or special? Tell me everything in as much detail as possible.

- I remember once of the most memorable experiences I had while eating was at a Korean restaurant with my coworkers.
- We went there after work and saw a “super spicy noodle challenge” on the menu. It looked fun, so we decided to try it.
- At first, the noodles tasted okay, but after a few bites, my mouth started burning like fire. My face turned red, my eyes were watering, and I kept drinking water nonstop.
- Everyone was laughing because I looked like I was about to cry. The spicy level was so strong that I couldn’t even finish half of the bowl. In the end, I had to order water to calm my stomach, and it finally helped.
- Even though it was painful, it became a very funny memory. My coworkers still joke about it whenever we go out to eat.
