1. Sample
Do you like the changes?/Are you open to change? Why?
Absolutely yes. I can say that I am a thrill seeker. I always attempt to do things that I have never experienced before, you know, travelling to a new place alone or participating in a competition without any understanding of it. Through these experiences, I have a better insight into my surroundings and put on my thinking cap as well.
What do you plan to change next year?
Actually, I have not come up with any plan for the next year yet. I think I will learn another language like French. Ya know, I have already excelled in English and I am not at all a creature of habit, so I will learn French and broaden my understanding about French culture.
Are there any changes to your work?
Of course, I change my job frequently and I am a job hopper. Whenever I feel that my job is tedious, I will change to another one. Ya know, as a thrill seeker, I do not want to remain my whole life on an endless treadmill.
Have you changed a lot since your childhood?
Yes, I think that I change completely. From a shy, introverted child who was scared of everything, after experiencing, learning and growing a lot, now, I can confidently claim that I am a social butterfly. Knowing my own strength and weaknesses, I can be more confident and amiable.

Are there any positive changes in your country these days?
I think the biggest change in Vietnam is national economy. Many years ago, Vietnam used to be an under-developed country, but now, Vietnamese economy has been significantly developing on an unprecedented scale. People are enjoying better living standards and they can afford all of their basic necessities.
Are there any changes in your hometown?
Living in Ho Chi Minh city more than 20 years, I have witnessed many major changes of the city. One of which could be the fact that many skyscrapers have been erected. Landmark 81 – the tallest building in Vietnam – is my country’s symbol and pride.
