Today, I would like to tell you about my father, a person who has led an incredibly fascinating life. He is a retired doctor and currently lives in a quiet, close-knit neighborhood
(close-knit: gắn bó chặt chẽ – having strong relationships with each other) on the outskirts of Hanoi.

Born in the post-war era, my father had a rather turbulent childhood
(turbulent: hỗn loạn – full of confusion, violence, or disorder), yet he never let adversity define him. After finishing high school with flying colors, he earned a scholarship to study medicine in the former Soviet Union – something that was extremely rare back then. There, he not only mastered Russian but also became deeply immersed in their cutting-edge medical techniques
(cutting-edge: tiên tiến – highly advanced and innovative).

Throughout his career, he worked in both rural clinics and state-of-the-art hospitals
(state-of-the-art: hiện đại nhất – using the most modern and recently developed methods), saving countless lives. He specialized in internal medicine, and his deep sense of empathy made him particularly loved by his patients. Even after retirement, he occasionally volunteers in community health programs to share his experience and provide free-of-charge consultations
(free-of-charge: miễn phí – without requiring payment). >> Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

What I find most inspiring is his never-give-up mindset and his ability to stay calm and rational even in the most chaotic situations. He always reminds me that "every life matters" – a belief that shaped his work ethic and philosophy. Despite his many accomplishments, he remains humble and down-to-earth, never boasting about his achievements.

In short, my father is not only a brilliant doctor but also a down-to-earth role model
(down-to-earth: thực tế – practical and sensible) who has lived a life full of purpose and compassion. I feel extremely proud and fortunate to have grown up under his guidance.

❓ Question 1: What do grandparents in Vietnam usually do in their leisure time?

In Vietnam, many grandparents often engage in gardening (gardening – làm vườn – the activity of growing and taking care of plants) or taking care of grandchildren during their free time.
These activities not only keep them physically active but also emotionally fulfilled (emotionally fulfilled – được thỏa mãn về mặt cảm xúc – feeling satisfied and happy emotionally).
For example, some of them spend hours every morning watering plants or preparing hearty meals (hearty meals – bữa ăn thịnh soạn – large and satisfying meals) for the whole family.
Another common leisure activity is participating in community groups (community groups – các nhóm cộng đồng – gatherings of people in a neighborhood for shared interests or support).
These groups often include traditional music clubs or tai chi sessions (tai chi sessions – buổi tập thái cực quyền – slow, meditative exercises for health), which help them stay mentally sharp (mentally sharp – minh mẫn – being alert and quick in thinking).
For instance, in many urban neighborhoods, elderly people gather every morning at the park to exercise together.
Besides physical activity, they also enjoy storytelling and passing down life experiences to their grandchildren.
This creates a tight-knit family bond (tight-knit family bond – mối quan hệ gia đình gắn bó – very close and supportive family relationships), which is a vital part of Vietnamese culture.

❓ 2. Why are old people living longer nowadays?

One main reason is the advancement of medical care (advancement of medical care – sự tiến bộ của chăm sóc y tế – improvements in healthcare systems and technologies).
Modern treatments and preventive check-ups (preventive check-ups – khám sức khỏe định kỳ – regular medical exams to detect health problems early) help detect diseases at an early stage.
For example, heart diseases or diabetes can now be managed more effectively than before.
Another reason is the rise of health-conscious lifestyles (health-conscious lifestyles – lối sống chú trọng sức khỏe – living habits focused on maintaining health).
Many elderly people today follow balanced diets and stay physically active with light exercises like yoga or tai chi.
This combination of healthy living and medical support greatly contributes to longer life expectancy.
In addition, public awareness campaigns (public awareness campaigns – các chiến dịch nâng cao nhận thức cộng đồng – organized efforts to inform the public) also encourage regular health screenings.
These factors together have dramatically boosted longevity (dramatically boosted longevity – gia tăng tuổi thọ một cách rõ rệt – significantly increased how long people live).

❓ 3. Do you think old people feel happy as they grow older?

Yes, many elderly people experience a sense of inner peace (inner peace – sự bình yên nội tâm – a calm and content mental state) as they age.
They tend to be more emotionally stable (emotionally stable – ổn định cảm xúc – able to handle emotions well) and less affected by social pressure.
For instance, retirees no longer worry about work deadlines or financial burdens.>> IELTS TUTOR có hướng dẫn kĩ PHÂN TÍCH ĐỀ THI THẬT TASK 2 (dạng advantages & disadvantages) NGÀY 04/8/2020 IELTS WRITING GENERAL MÁY TÍNH (kèm bài được sửa hs đi thi)
Additionally, they often enjoy more quality time with family, especially grandchildren.
This connection provides them with a strong sense of belonging (sense of belonging – cảm giác được thuộc về – feeling connected to others) and emotional support.
Also, many elderly people take up new hobbies like painting or reading, which bring them joy and satisfaction.
Although aging comes with physical limitations, their emotional resilience (emotional resilience – sự kiên cường về mặt cảm xúc – ability to recover from emotional challenges) tends to improve over time.
Therefore, happiness in old age is certainly achievable, especially with family support.

❓ 4. Do you think people will live even longer in the future?

Yes, I believe people will live even longer due to technological breakthroughs (technological breakthroughs – đột phá công nghệ – major innovations in science and technology).
For example, the development of AI-based diagnosis systems (AI-based diagnosis systems – hệ thống chẩn đoán dựa trên trí tuệ nhân tạo – health tech that uses artificial intelligence to identify diseases) will improve early detection.
These systems can analyze medical data more quickly and accurately than doctors.
Additionally, future generations are expected to adopt even healthier lifestyles than today.
Young people are already becoming more aware of the importance of mental wellness (mental wellness – sức khỏe tinh thần – psychological well-being) and physical fitness.
This could lead to reduced stress and fewer age-related illnesses.
Governments may also increase investment in healthcare, especially for the elderly.
All of these changes could push the average lifespan beyond 100 (push the average lifespan beyond 100 – kéo dài tuổi thọ trung bình vượt mốc 100 – increase how long people live on average).

❓ 5. Why do grandparents live with their children’s families?

In Vietnam, it’s a cultural tradition (cultural tradition – truyền thống văn hóa – a custom passed down through generations) for grandparents to live with their children.
This reflects the value of filial piety (filial piety – lòng hiếu thảo – respect and care for one’s parents) deeply rooted in Vietnamese society.
For instance, many adult children feel a strong responsibility to take care of their aging parents.
Another reason is that it provides mutual support (mutual support – sự hỗ trợ lẫn nhau – help shared between people) within the household.
Grandparents often help with cooking, cleaning, or babysitting, while the younger generation assists them with health care.
This arrangement creates a multi-generational household (multi-generational household – gia đình nhiều thế hệ – a family where several generations live under one roof).
It strengthens family bonds and helps everyone save on living expenses.
Therefore, living together is both a practical solution and a cultural norm.

❓ 6. What can grandparents and grandchildren learn from each other?

Grandparents can teach their grandchildren about traditional values (traditional values – giá trị truyền thống – cultural beliefs and moral principles) and life lessons from past experiences.
For instance, they often share stories that promote patience, respect, and resilience.
This helps young people understand their roots and become more grounded.
Meanwhile, grandchildren can help the elderly become more familiar with modern technology (modern technology – công nghệ hiện đại – new electronic devices and systems).
Many young kids teach their grandparents how to use smartphones, apps, or even social media.
This bridges the generation gap (bridges the generation gap – thu hẹp khoảng cách thế hệ – connects people of different ages) and keeps the elderly engaged with the outside world.
Additionally, the playful nature of children often brings joy and energy to older people’s lives.
So, this exchange is not only educational but also emotionally enriching (emotionally enriching – giàu cảm xúc – giving deep emotional benefits).
