1. How much walking do you do in your daily life?
Speaking Answer:
I actually don’t get to do as much walking as I’d like in my daily life. Most of my day involves sitting at a desk, but I always try to squeeze in a brisk walk around my neighborhood in the evenings to stretch my legs and clear my head.
- squeeze in (phr.v) /skwiz ɪn/: chen chúc, ép vào; cố gắng tìm thời gian làm gì
- brisk (adj) /brɪsk/: nhanh nhẹn, lanh lợi (kiểu đi bộ nhanh)
- clear my head (idiom) /klɪər maɪ hɛd/: làm cho đầu óc thanh thản, minh mẫn
2. Did you walk more when you were at school than now?
Speaking Answer:
Oh, absolutely! Back in my school days, I used to hoof it everywhere – to class, to grab a bite, even just strolling around the campus with friends. Nowadays, with a car at my disposal and a busier schedule, I don’t really get to pound the pavement as much.
- hoof it (v) /huːf ɪt/: đi bộ, cuốc bộ

- pound the pavement (idiom) /paʊnd ðə ˈpeɪvmənt/: đi bộ nhiều, đi bộ khắp nơi
3. What places are there to go for a walk near where you live?
Speaking Answer:
Well, I’m lucky enough to have a couple of great spots close by where I can go for a good walk. I often beat a path to the local park to get some fresh air and stretch my legs, and there’s also a lovely lakeside promenade that’s perfect for a leisurely stroll.
- beat a path to (idiom) /biːt ə pæθ tuː/: thường xuyên đi đến đâu đó
- promenade (n) /ˌprɑːməˈneɪd/: đường đi dạo, lối đi bộ
- stroll (n) /stroʊl/: cuộc đi dạo, sự đi dạo
4. Would you ever like to go on a walking holiday?
Speaking Answer:
Oh, I’d absolutely jump at the chance for a walking holiday! There’s nothing quite like hitting the trails and truly soaking up all the breathtaking scenery along the way. It would be a fantastic way to clear my head and stretch my legs.
- jump at the chance (idiom) /dʒʌmp æt ðə tʃæns/: chớp lấy cơ hội, nắm bắt cơ hội
- hit the trails (phrasal verb) /hɪt ðə treɪlz/: bắt đầu đi bộ đường dài (thường ở vùng tự nhiên, đồi núi)
