Hướng dẫn dịch:
Nick: Trại hè quốc tế của bạn thế nào rồi Phong?
Phong: Tuyệt, tuyệt vời lắm.
Nick: Nghe có vẻ bạn đang rất vui. Bạn thích gì về nó?
Phong: Thật khó nói. Mọi thứ đều tuyệt vời: những người bạn mới, những nơi mà mình tham quan, các hoạt động nữa...
Nick: Ồ... Tiếng Anh của cậu đã được cải thiện nhiều rồi đấy!
Phong: Chắc chắn rồi. Mình sử dụng tiếng Anh hàng ngày mà, với những người từ những nhiều nước khác nhau.
Nick: Họ đến từ đâu vậy?
Phong: Mọi nơi! Những nơi như Ấn Độ, Canada... Tiếng Anh cũng là ngôn ngữ chính thức ở Singapore này.
Nick: Đúng vậy. Bạn có kết bạn với ai ở những nước nói tiếng Anh không?
Phong: Mình ở cùng nhóm với 2 bạn nam đến từ Úc và một bạn nữ đến từ Mỹ.
Nick: Bạn có thấy khó khăn trong việc hiểu họ nói không?
Phong: Mình thấy thật khó để hiểu họ, lúc đầu là vậy. Có lẽ bởi vì giọng địa phương của họ nhưng bây giờ thì ổn rồi.
Nick: Thật tuyệt khi bạn có thể thực hành tiếng Anh với người bản xứ. Khi nào bạn trở về?
Phong: Trại của chúng mình đóng vào ngày 15 tháng 7 và mình bắt chuyến bay đêm trở về cùng ngày.
