facilities, one in Thailand and the other in Vietnam, with more than 5,000 employees An affordable price is probably Vietjet's biggest advantage This has helped many people have the opportunity to travel by air The airline is also increasingly diversifying flight routes, and the number of flights per day is also spread across time frames, making it easy for customers to choose Besides, the service is getting better and better Another strength is that the company has built a strong and well-recognized brand name in Vietnam thanks to good communication and a distribution network through local travel agencies With the awards and recognition of the market, Vietjet has become one of the most successful domestic airlines in Vietnam Topic 2: Give an example of a manufacturing company that you know A manufacturing company uses components, parts, or raw materials to create a finished product Ford is one of the largest automakers in the United States, and it has been producing vehicles on a large scale since the early 1900s Henry Ford and 11 associate investors founded the American automobile corporation in 1903 Five years later, the first Model T was released Ford's success is powered by a commitment that globally scales to 186,000 people working in plants and offices in the country after country Currently, Ford has operations across North America and in over 125 countries around the world Ford can easily make over million cars in a single year The assembly lines are a great visual representation of what a manufacturing business does The assembly line also dramatically changed the lives of people who worked for Ford Not only did they cut their working hours, but they also got a raise With advanced technology and production lines, Ford has built its brand and become one of the most successful automobile companies on the market today Topic 3: Give an example of a service company that you know A service company provides a service to its customers, not a product Prudential is a good example Prudential is an insurance and financial services brand with operations catering to customers across Asia, the U.S., the U.K., and, most recently, Africa But its largest market is in Asia, with more than 24 million customers in 14 countries Prudential was founded in the United Kingdom in 1848 It has approximately 22,000 employees worldwide, with assets of under £500 billion The

management markets The global scale of operations and income from diverse geographies and products has given Prudential an edge The company has built a well-known and highly appreciated brand that has helped Prudential become a leading service company in the insurance industry Topic 4: Give an example of a retail company that you know Retail companies specialize in the sale of goods or services to consumers Walmart is known as a leading retail group in the world, with stores in many different countries For many years, customers and distribution stores have recognized this brand In today's world, Walmart is the dominant owner of over 12,000 stores spread across 28 countries Sam Walton founded Walmart, a leading brand in the United States, in 1962 Walmart is a global retailer with over 200 million customers thanks to its online shopping form and supermarket and discount grocery store chains Many products at Walmart, in particular, are "exclusive" and cannot be found in other supermarkets or stores Currently, Walmart in Vietnam, which many people find strange, is finding it difficult to compete with the industry's big players Therefore, Walmart needs to make changes and improvements in its business orientation to seize this potential market Topic 5: Talk about a businesswoman that you know Mrs Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao is a vital name when it comes to the most famous and successful businesswomen Mrs Thao, a businesswoman, and billionaire is the general director of VietJet Air She was born in Hanoi in 1970 She has been selling electronics and agricultural products

job As a student of the academy of finance, my ideal job is a career related to my major, specifically as a financial analyst The main role of financial analysts is to examine financial data and use the findings to help companies make business decisions Often, the analysis is meant to inform the investing decisions of companies, such as buying or selling a company's stock based upon its overall performance and outlook Financial analysis is a vast field with many different job titles and career pathways Regardless of education, a successful career as a financial analyst requires strong quantitative skills, expert problem-solving abilities, adeptness in the use of logic, and above-average communication skills The job prospects for financial analysts are positive, even though it is a competitive area The benefits listed above make financial analysis my ideal career Topic 7: What are the benefits and dangers of surveillance? ( for the government, companies, and individuals) The use of surveillance cameras as crime deterrence is being increased in many major cities around the world I believe it is impossible to single out a single institution or individual who has the most advantages or disadvantages Surveillance is profitable for both the government and companies, as well as for people This approach allows the government to provide security to citizens while also reducing crime and violence Evidence gained from video surveillance cameras can be incredibly useful in an investigation When it comes to businesses, it's also a huge plus because it allows them to protect their databases and vital documents Besides, these instruments make people feel safer and they safeguard society from terrorists and criminals However, there are numerous risks associated with excessive surveillance It’s a violation of people's right to privacy It gives everyone the impression that they are constantly being watched which is extremely uncomfortable Another risk is the possibility of misusing captured images They should never be made public unless they are required to assist in a police investigation However, issues still can arise in many different situations Therefore, we need to use surveillance cameras sensibly Topic 8: What you think about the need for so much surveillance in modern society? In many parts of the world, the number of surveillance cameras is rapidly increasing Aside from the benefits for everyone's safety, there are issues when the number of cameras is too high to manage The most common concern that many people seem to have is whether or not there will be privacy There have been reports of security cameras being hacked to obtain personal information that was then used for malicious purposes Another significant disadvantage is the price Installing the cameras in and of itself is a very expensive thing to consider Tech-savvy criminals understand the technology and have worked out ways to disable cameras from their power sources In a worst-case scenario, hackers can wreak havoc on our system by using the internet to spy on us Cameras can deter criminals but can not prevent theft They can only record the video and aid law enforcement in catching the criminal later As a result, we must exercise caution while using an excessive number of cameras Topic 9: How you manage your important information? We all live in the age of information nowadays The ability to organize information directly impacts our success And my way of managing them starts with deciding how to structure a filing system: what are the main categories and what are the sub-categories? Then give those files a useful name that will remind me whenever I need them Organizing files and keeping the most important ones at the front of the filing area will help save a lot of time when it comes to using them The final step is to maintain those files up to date I need to manage new information as soon as I receive it It's critical to consider removing material that is no longer valuable to me The key is to make it easy to use the information and don’t let it become a burden If we can master information management, we will have a continuous edge in work and life Topic 10: What you think about the importance of fashion in daily life? We are all aware that fashion is an important component that completes our lives To be honest, different people will have different perspectives on this, so answers will vary But to me, fashion is quite important Following the latest fashion trend highlights your personality and gives you a classy look Fashion is a simple way to express yourself What you wear tells the rest of the world a lot about your personality The clothes you wear reveal not only your personality but also your daily mood When you look great, you become confident Confidence is also affected by the level of comfort provided by your clothing Furthermore, it's a lot of fun to meet other people who enjoy shopping and are up to date on the latest trends Yeah, it is one of the best ways to find new friends and stay social As a result of the preceding points, we can easily see how important fashion is in daily life Topic 11: What are the advantages of using the Internet? The internet is a fantastic tool that has completely transformed modern society It has progressed from a luxury to one of the most important aspects of our lives Thanks to the internet, you can send a letter or important information to anyone in the world via e-mail or other platforms And it is frequently delivered to its destination in less than a minute It also helps you communicate with people anywhere, anytime Because it contains an infinite amount of knowledge and information, the Internet allows people to learn about any topic and find answers to any type of question Besides, the Internet is the best place to sell goods if you want to sell products and services or run a business with a bunch of conveniences In short, the internet, with its great benefits, has made many jobs easier and more convenient, thereby saving more time and effort Topic 12: What are the disadvantages of using the Internet? While the Internet has numerous advantages and is one of the most powerful inventions, however, it still has some large-scale drawbacks Anyone who spends a lot of time on internet-connected devices can become addicted to them A person who is addicted to the Internet may spend his or her valuable time on the Internet rather than doing anything beneficial Another issue that has become more prevalent over time is cyberbullying Hackers or unauthorized individuals can sometimes monitor you on the Internet, and they can be damaging to you by stealing your personal information Obesity and an unhealthy lifestyle can result from often surfing the Internet, playing games, and spending too much time on the computer The Internet can also contribute to depression because many people use social networking sites to compare their lives to those of others Although social networking sites can help you make new friends from all over the world, you may find yourself disconnected from your real-life friends For the above reasons, we need to control the time we use the internet appropriately Topic 13: Describe a famous brand Cartier is a leading luxury goods company in the world It is a company based in France that develops, manufactures, and sells high-end jewelry and watches It was created in 1847 in Paris, France Cartier has always been on the lookout for unique stones Cartier remains a reference in the jewelry business to this day, known for its use of platinum in the manufacturing of jewelry The brand offers a variety of items that represent current concepts and trends, as well as the requirements of its wealthy client Every two years, it has an exhibition or premiere to debut a new collection A global network of many boutiques and a lot of authorized dealers offers the company's products Cartier has become one of the most successful luxury accessory brands in the world thanks to its largescale operation and unique product offers Topic 14: Think about the most expensive thing you have ever bought and describe it Was it worth what you paid for? Out of all of my stuff, the Cartier bracelet is the most expensive item I've ever purchased It’s in the Cartier Love Bracelet collection The Cartier Love bracelet is one of the most popular pieces of jewelry designed, and one of the most iconic as well The bracelet was designed in the shape of an oval to fit as closely as possible to a loved one's wrist Not only that but it was also intended to be worn by both men and women The iconic bracelet has two halves that come apart only with the use of its mini screwdriver (and the help of a second person) which is perhaps characteristic of its name and usually means the user doesn’t take it off much The special point here is jewelry was often chosen specifically to match an outfit, but the Love bracelet wasn't meant to coordinate with an outfit or to suit an occasion—it was worn day or night For the reasons stated above, I think that a unique bracelet is worth the money Topic 15: What is the point of fashion shows? A fashion show is an event where fashion designers display their collections (clothes, accessories, etc.) Every season, new fashion events are launched, and these are the locations where current fashion trends are born Models walk down the runway in designer-prepared costumes in a typical fashion show The order in which models walk the runway and the outfits they wear are frequently chosen to represent the designer's message Fashion shows can sometimes take the form of installations, with models standing or sitting in a constructed place This event allows them to demonstrate their abilities, present a positive image and reputation, and the popularity of models and designers will skyrocket The company may be able to find new investment items as a result of this However, for fashion designers, the most significant aspect of these exhibitions is the opportunity to advertise their designs and craftsmanship They can then draw the most clients or business partners from their development cooperative relationships as soon as possible Topic 16: What is your favorite brand? My favorite brand is a luxury accessory brand called Cartier It is a luxury goods company based in France that develops, manufactures, and sells high-end jewelry and watches It was created in 1847 in Paris, France Cartier has always been on the lookout for unique stones Cartier remains a reference in the jewelry business to this day, known for its use of platinum in the manufacturing of jewelry The brand offers a variety of items that represent current concepts and trends, as well as the requirements of its wealthy client Every two years, it has an exhibition or premiere to debut a new collection A global network of 179 Cartier boutiques and 8,000 authorized dealers in 123 countries offerto the company's products Cartier has become one of the most successful luxury accessory brands in the world thanks to its huge scale and unique product offers Topic 17: Why are consumers normally willing to pay more money for wellknown brands? When it comes to product quality and service, long-established, wellknown brands have always had a stronghold on people's hearts As a result, people are more likely to pay a higher price for well-known brands Imitated products are typically inferior to branded products in terms of quality They can show their class by using high-quality fabrics, sewing lines that are meticulous and delicate, and paying attention to every detail Investing a significant amount of money in genuine items is suitable for those who believe in "wearing good, wearing long." This is a long-term investment that will pay off As a result, wellknown firms' smartest move is to invest in a product that is simple but still reflects the user's style Furthermore, people sometimes want to buy well-known brands to assert themselves because luxury is no longer just a factor of external attention; instead, they are attempting to make it a uniquely personal expression of the value contained within Topic 18: What does success mean to you? To me, success means finishing a task and realizing that I couldn't have done it better Success is both a goal and a journey To succeed means finishing a task or assignment on time and with high quality However, that is only half of the story The results should be favorable, and everyone involved should learn from or gain valuable experience For example, if it was a group project and only two people out of four finished it, I would not consider it a success It would be a success if everyone took part and worked together to create a valuable result So, to call something a success, I believe that both the outcome and the process must be excellent Topic 19: Tell a story of a successful business person that you know? What you learn from him/her? I'd like to tell you a little bit about Warren Buffet He is a businessman and investor from the United States He is considered to be one of the wealthiest people in the world, with more than 100 billion dollars in assets The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway has become a successful guy with numerous brilliant investing techniques after learning from several setbacks From a hired employee, he has become an employer From 1970 until the present, he has invested in many well-known and prominent firms, including Apple, Coca-Cola, Amazon, and others Many of his investment tips have become so famous that many people want to learn from them One of his popular quotes is: "If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money." I can say from his successful career that investing is a long-term process that necessitates a variety of techniques and knowledge, specifically a strong and stable mental state Topic 20: What are the reasons for the failure of start-ups? Several start-ups have previously failed due to their business plans in their first few years It is frequently a mixture of circumstances, rather than a single thing, that prevents success To begin, many people have a misunderstanding about why they should start a business You should think hard about starting a business because you want to make a lot of money or have more time for your personal life Make sure you care about the goods you're selling Second, multiple studies have revealed that poor management is a major contributor to startup failure We routinely hire people to jobs that we are incapable of doing well And it leads to a lot of blunders in the corporate world The location of a business has a significant impact on its performance Business activities will be boosted by a desirable business location On the contrary, a bad location will have a lot of influence on the development of start-ups Finally, planning is essential for any start-up The plan must be realistically based on current information and be skillfully planned for the future Topic 21: What should you when setting up a new business?
