Describe a game you enjoy playing

I've played several games throughout my young age, both indoor and outdoor games, and I try to play whenever I get time.
Among those games, I enjoyed playing chess more than others. Chess is an indoor game where two players participate. This
game does not involve any major physical movements like other outdoor games but a chess player has to use his/her brain
and make game plans to defeat the opponent.

I mostly play this game with my friends and cousins. Sometimes I play it with my father and senior relatives. Since playing
chess requires only placing the board on a surface and sitting position of the two participating players, it is convenient to
play chess almost anywhere. I mostly play it at our veranda, garden or bedroom. I enjoy this game because I have a
fascination for this game from my childhood and I really like the overall theme and barnstorming involved in this game. It's
a thought-provoking game that gives the participating players to use their brains. A player can apply his/her strategy, and
then allure the opponent to fall into a trap which is much like a real battlefield.

It's not a game where someone would only use the physical movements rather the game requires a perfect game plan, finding
weaknesses of the opponent and a battle strategy. This game gives you a feel of being the King of a regime where you
decide your country men's fate. For all those reasons this is a very interesting and enjoyable game for me.

Describe a sport you enjoy playing

I would like to talk about a sport that I particularly enjoy and have been practising for a few years. It is basketball. For me,
this is not only a sport or a physical exercise but also an ideal way for me to relieve of stress and to make new friends.
I first knew about basketball when I was a little kid through a video game called NBA 2k8. However, at that time I did not
play badminton at all, partly because I was not an active kid who was aware of the critical importance of physical exercises.
When I went to high school, a lot of my friends were a big fan of basketball and my high school offered big playgrounds for
sports activities, therefore I practised basketball much more often.
I usually play basketball in the weekends and watch NBA on the nights when my favorite team, the Los Angeles Lakers
play. I often go to sports centres with a number of my classmates for basketball matches. Sometimes we even participate in
local league, didn’t accomplish anything big but it was extremely fun.
For me, basketball is a good way to help me pursue a healthy lifestyle. It is also an affordable type of sport as you do not
have to buy a lot of specialised sports materials. Finally, playing basketball enables me to develop a number of important
and non-academic skills such as discipline, team-work, problem-solving and co-operation.

Describe a person you admire

A famous person who I am really interested in is definitely My Tam. She is the best pop singer in Viet Nam who embarked
on her singing career in 1999. The Da Nang-born singer has recently become Vietnam’s first-ever artist to be listed on
Billboard’s World Albums chart, after releasing her ninth studio album ‘Tam 9’.
My Tam is my biggest idol because she is a great singer with beautiful voice. Some years ago, I caught a glimpse of her on
TV and was immediately hooked by her outstanding performance. I have became her loyal fan since then. I really like the
way she sings and the way she expresses the feeling of the song. To my admiration, she has always worked seriously to give
high quality music products.
My Tam is beloved for her good personality too. She is known to all her fans for her gregariousness and sense of humour.
Besides, she has also devoted her time to organizing free concerts for univeristy students nationwide. Together with her fans
and friends, she has been doing a lot of charity activities silently to help the poor, the sick and the homeless people.
