Đáp án: 31425

Person A:
Originally, the city planners promised money for building a hospital initially. I don’t understand why they switched to construct a new station then. This new station won’t solve the traffic jams, and it will require the city’s budget every year. Therefore, we won’t have money left to build a hospital while health should be a priority, I believe it’s better to invest in health services instead.

Person B:
The new station will be in the residential area, close to the hospital and university. We already have buses for getting around, and even though they might be slow sometimes, that’s not a reason for being late. I always go to work on time, and I think everyone should work on their personal schedule. People often blame traffic for being late, but I manage to avoid that.

Person C:
I take the train to work every day, and I am tired of the overcrowded trains. I believe investing in a new station is worthwhile, as it could enhance the transportation system and alleviate congestion at the current station. We should consider placing the new station in densely populated residential areas, as this would improve train travel and help reduce crowding.

Person D:
The city planners say that investing in a new station may not be necessary. Both the current station and the bus services appear to work well. Although I don’t use trains regularly, I have found the service to be satisfactory whenever I do. The existing facilities are adequate, and I don’t see a pressing need to spend money on a new station at this time.

1. Who thinks that better medical facilities are needed? A

2. Who thinks that the bus or train is too busy? C

3. Who thinks that people should plan their journey better? B

4. Who thinks that the station will cost too much to build? A

5. Who thinks that the bus has a good service? D

6. Who thinks that the station will improve train travel? C

7. Who thinks that the transport doesn’t need to be improved? D

1.
In today’s world, many individuals are opting to live in hotels because it is more affordable than renting a house. The cost of renting a hotel covers all expenses, including water, electricity and even meals, often surpassing what traditional homes offer. Moreover, residents have the opportunity to negotiate long-term stays with hotel managers, making hotel living more cost-effective compared to renting a house.

2.
While it may seem convenient to have meals readily available with private chefs in hotel restaurants, there are potential downsides to consider. Reliance on outside food options can impact health. Hotel meals often prioritize convenience over nutrition, which can lead to an unhealthy diet. This, in turn, may result in weight gain and nutrient deficiencies, leading to various health issues. As a result, you can have suffered from medical bills in the long term – if you use the food in the restaurant cooked by chief

3.
Moving to a hotel for an extended period requires careful planning and preparation. It’s not a decision that can be made overnight. Individuals need to consider what belongings to bring, how to transport them, and how to organize their new living space. It’s important to prioritize essential items and leave behind what is not necessary. By planning ahead, individuals can ensure a smooth transition to hotel living, avoiding unnecessary stress and disruptions.

4.
Living in a hotel comes with certain rules and regulations that residents must follow. They have to adapt to the hotel’s policies and accommodate different lifestyles of fellow residents. This can sometimes mean compromising personal preferences to maintain harmony within the hotel environment. While there may be a loss of certain freedoms compared to living in a house, the trade-off is the convenience and services provided by the hotel.

5.
Choosing to live in a hotel instead of renting a house often means downsizing and living with fewer possessions. This can bring various benefits, such as reduced clutter, easier maintenance, and a simplified lifestyle. Living with less can also lead to greater flexibility and mobility, as individuals are not tied down to a specific location or burdened with extensive belongings. Embracing a minimalist approach can enhance a sense of freedom and offer a more streamlined living experience.

6.
Adjusting to hotel living can be tough, but it brings fresh outlooks. Living with less in a smaller space allows residents to focus on experiences instead of stuff, leading to a simpler and more flexible lifestyle. Plus, being in a hotel exposes people to different cultures and diverse individuals, broadening their minds and promoting openness. This change in perspective encourages personal growth, adaptability, and a deeper appreciation for the transient nature of life.

7.
As the trend of living in hotels becomes increasingly popular, the hotel industry faces growing competition. Hotels must continually enhance their offerings and services to attract guests and secure their position in the market. The future of hotel living is predicted to be a competitive arena, as establishments strive to captivate customers and meet their evolving needs and preferences. This competition benefits consumers, as it fosters innovation and ensures a diverse range of hotel options to choose from.
